His queen

I never thought one day I’d be someone’s queen and smile so brightly 

for this day is the best day of my life. 

To dress up in the most precious gown to me and feel so amazing that simple words can’t explain how I felt that day. 

You looked at me with so much love that I didn’t think I could receive and keep inside of me when times get tough and I need so badly to cling to that love. 

I know that you love me and that this picture will always be one of your favorites and I hope one day to capture one of me looking at you as you smile so brightly.

You

always believed in me when I didn’t even know what I really wanted out of life. 

You always brought me out my shell and letting be have my moment when I was too shy to face anyone other than you. 

You took me past my limits I placed for myself so that I would always be safe, you kick those limits out of the way and showed there was so much to live for that being scared wouldn’t get me anywhere in life. 

You made me know that being shy wasn’t a bad thing and everyone has to warm up to people and then and only then will they be comfortable to put themselves out there. 

This shy sweet smile is for you for you fought so hard to brighten up my life and now I can at least smile for you and myself today.

Your

Smile captured my heart every time I see you doing something you love like playing on your guitar on your days off.

Or when you laugh at something that’s funny to you that laugh I could listen to all night if I have too.

There is so much joy and light inside of you that spending time with you always puts me in a good mood.

You tell me to follow my dreams for you see so much potential in me and you know that only over time will I keep growing the gift that I was blessed with.

You smile at me and laugh when I’m being so stubborn and you know that if I just let go and ask for help things would be so much more simpler for me.

You are one lucky person I tell you all the time because you get to know me and you laugh because you know I’m right and yet you just won’t admit it.

For me being right would just grow my already big head.

me play you a song because I heard you were really into music and love original songs.

So here I go to the girl in the front row that stole my heart the moment our eyes meant that night six months ago.

As you song and played your guitar to the song you dedicated to me, I couldn’t stop crying and smiling to the sweet lyric you wrote about me and our love story.

I knew that everything that we had been through was worth working out and that or future was brighter than I thought it could possibly be.

I had so much hope that we would work out because of that day changed me and opened my eyes to a side of you I didn’t know existed.

I fell in love with you more that night and that song became my favorite song of all time and I still play it now and then when you don’t personally sing it to me.

We made it so much farther than maybe we would have if you hadn’t written that song and laid it all out for me that day.

Because, before that night it was so hard to get you to spill how you felt without you closing up and the conversion always ending before I got all my answers from you.

I

remember the first flower you ever gave me and how you smiled so sweetly at me that day.

You melted my cold heart that day giving it back the heat it needed to keep warm and beat strong inside of me.

The days of it just being me were long ago as my days became me and you always smiling and explore new things together.

Not wasting a moment together to see and experience what life has to offer us and taking risk left and right because well we only live once.

There wasn’t a dull moment with us and every moment was worth taking a picture of for the memories were breath-taking for me.

That flower shined so bright just like you and the smile that was always pasted on your face when you saw me.

Storm

You can come into my life and try to destroy everything that you think matters the most to me.

But, the truth is the light that burns inside of me would not fade even when you think you have taken it all from me and I’m about to fall.

I will jump back up and grab on to the last thing you thought wouldn’t help me and I will build everything back up and make them ten times stronger than before.

So the next time you come around with your evil smile and laugh that haunts me some nights.

I will be prepared and ready to out shine you this time for you didn’t break me you just built me up to know that I am not as fragile as I once thought I was.

I can’t with stand whatever you throw my way and I will slap away the things that try to trick me and lock out the things that want in only to destroy everything they see me look at.

Not giving

up even though I’m in my darkness moments and life just seems to suck. 

And all I want to do is scream and not care about the things I’m suppose to care about. 

I just want to live in my peace and calm bubble that protects me from the crap that falls on me. 

Its like I’m trapped in the middle of a storm that just doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. 

I hope the sun will come out soon and I can finally get out of this place and smile as everything dries up from the storm and the birds come out again and sing a happy song as they fly from tree to tree.

I can’t

stop now as the beat gets louder around me.

I just move to the beat and let go from all the stressful things.

The music heals me from the wounds I didn’t want but come at me when I’m less expected it.

The beat and my heart are beating so fast that I hope it don’t just burst out of my chest.

I close my eyes and lean my head back and just enjoy this moment of peace and, I just think about how I can’t stop listening to this music.

Which always seems to help me figure out how to solve some of my problems in the end.

Do I

belong here or should I run for the door and not deal with this anymore.

I want to run and not stay like I always do because I just need a break from the usual things I settle for.

I don’t think I can continue to be that girl you used to know because so much has happened that I don’t even know who that girl used to be.

I’m standing still and time is just passing me by and I just can’t seem to be able to break this spell that I’m stuck in.

There is no place I rather not be more than I don’t want to be here, I start to shut down just thinking about this place.

Has me going back inside my shell that protects me from all the stuff being thrown my way and at first I tried to juggle it all but, now its all falling apart.

The Colors

Of my life have me feeling so unsettled about everything.

I’m working too hard for nothing but my own pain and sorrow.

So tired are the bones in my body that they ache now and tomorrow.

The work is not done now but, will continue tomorrow, and that’s why I’m not looking forward to what will be waiting for me.

I’m broken and tired and yet I have no  care in the world.

I’m snapping and feeling more on the edge as the day goes by.

Then there is a break and the colors of my life change to calm and relax.

And I finally feel like myself and the overwhelming feeling of stress goes away leaving me feeling better and peaceful.

I lay back and soak up all this good energy and hope like hell it keeps me safe until the colors of my life hit the line of panic in  full force next time.
