It’s just not the same, since Daddy died

I remember the funeral & how hard we all cried

Then Momma had to watch us all drift apart

I swear that she died of a broken heart

You can’t choose family or that’s what they say

But I’m praying we will all work it out one fine day

After all, at one time, we all lived under one roof

That alone should serve as enough proof

’Cause we share the same blood, same habits even hair

Don’t know why we can’t show each other we care

About each day that we have or maybe ask how are the kids

Instead we seem to dwell on what someone once did

I love you my Brother, my Sisters, my Kin

Without you beside me, who cares who wins?

i’ll savor every moment

every stolen glance.

every smile.

the way you kiss(ed) me in the rain.

the way we dance(d) under the stars.

i’ll remember every time you said i was your everything

and i said you were mine.

even when were thousands of miles apart

you’ll stay in my heart.

even when you forget about me.

i’ll be thinking of you

crying on the staircase where we met.

becuase nothing lasts forever.

Morning

I woke up,

Giddy with excitement,

Because you are the first thing I see when I wake up,

The best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Noon

The sun is at its zenith in the sky,

As passionate as our bodies are between the sheets pressed together,

We were so high that we could see the gods on Olympus,

We challenged Zeus and Hera for their place as king and queen.

Afternoon

We flew like Icarus,

Our love soon burned up from getting too high, too quickly,

Too close to the sun,

Our love falling apart like Rome.

Evening

The fall shattered us into pieces,

Unable to be sewn back together,

You saw a pretty nymph and followed her,

And I was left to pick up the pieces of my heart, alone.

Night

I wonder how many names you’ve marked off your list,

I wonder which pretty nymph graces your bed tonight,

Which one sings most beautifully in bed.

I wonder if I’ll even make it through the night.
