Dear, Soldier Boy,
How I miss you so.
I think about you everyday,
And when you're coming home.
...

Here I stand,
Crying in the rain.
Watching your tail-lights,
All I feel is pain.
...

I never said I dreamed of him,
I reckon out of fear.
I never said I thought of him,
So now he's left me here.
...

Daddy, I love you.
Why don't you come get me?
Why won't you call me?
Is this how you want it to be?
...

We're laying in your truck bed,
Looking at the sky.
You are in your uniform,
That's when I start to cry.
...

Hanna-Rose,
Is eight-years-old,
With an attitude,
Sweet and kind.
...

Life is hard,
So I've learned,
Even though I'm young.
I've begged for money,
...

Darkness and hatred,
Follows me around.
My hopes sinking lower,
I will surely drown.
...

I feel so broken down.
The pain is so unbearable,
And I can’t stand the sound,
Of my own screams.
...

Pressing your
lips next to mine,
I feel like water
in your hands.
...

The It Girl-
Someone who's stuck up and rude,
Someone who doesn't care about anyone but themselves,
Someone who is spoiled and gets anything,
...

Little Reanna is seven-years-old.
With skinned knees,
And her hair pulled back,
She's as happy as she can be.
...

I'm the girl,
You trip,
And make fun of.
...

Here I stand,
Just inside this open window.
My heart beats fast as I look down
Fourty stories below.
...

Crickets chirping,
Frogs hopping,
Fireflies glowing,
Emotions showing.
...

His cell phone rings,
He answers it,
'Okay. We're on our way.'
...

Did you ever wonder,
Why the sky is blue?
Why the grass is green?
Why the sea is shiny?
...

I miss your touch,
I miss your kiss,
I miss your hugs.
...

I laugh, I cry.
I smile, I frown.
I love, I hate.
I'm happy, I'm hurt.
...

Dear Mother,
There is no more pain.
For when tomorrow comes,
I'll be on the evening train.
...
