I miss being your escape
and you being mine
I miss falling back on each other
through all the hard times.
...
For the Cambodian boy who changed my life.
Little boy bare footed,
one who wears torn cloths,
...
I can't ignore the pain of desire
and have no story to tell
of a life we built on lies
and pretend that love here dwells
...
You are everything and nothing
all at the same time.
I gave up all of me
so you could be mine.
...
Love is a choice of conscious minds,
a recognition of emotion
and a longing to find,
this deeper meaning
...
This day I have dreaded for all of your life,
but now that you're of age, the truth is your right.
Although I have raised you, we have not the same blood.
To you I did not give birth, only my love.
...
Under one condition
will we be alright -
tell me that you love me
and show me day and night.
...
Green are my skies
with clouds made of candy,
orange grassy hillsides,
with yellow birds to enchant me.
...
The illusion of happiness all in one pill
riding the pain he caused her to feel.
She says 'They help me and I need them to live.'
But she used to be free, until he'd take and not give.
...
In life there are people we think hold the key,
determining our thoughts and analyzing our dreams.
We tell them our problems, longing to be free.
Because they have all the answers...
...
Own your life's desires,
and rise from the world's solitary direction.
Be visible for a lifetime.
...
Health is not my friend,
they say that I'm sick again.
When will it all end?
...
I Miss You
I miss being your escape
and you being mine
I miss falling back on each other
through all the hard times.
I miss the endless nights
of laughter and tears
sharing our experiences
and what we've learned through the years.
I miss seeing your smile
and the light in your eyes
I miss being your happiness
and you being mine.
I miss feeling like
your number one girl
spending all day together
ignoring the world.
I miss having you come to me
in a time of need
I miss knowing you thought
you could tell me anything.
I miss feeling your touch
how you'd wipe my tears away
and as long as I needed to
in your arms I could stay.
I miss the look in your eyes
that told me you cared
and I miss knowing no matter what
you'd always be there.
I miss the fun times
we used to spend
but most of all
I miss my best friend.
Hello Brittney, Your poems are beautiful! Poems aren't really one of my interests, I just thought it was quite unusual to find another Brittney Heck besides me. That is really sweet to know there is another one out there. I wonder if there is more- Oh what the Heck I found one. My birthday is 9-1-83. Well hope you have a wonderful day, feel free to write. Brittney Las Vegas, Nv
