Burns within my heart

Controls every thought and deed

Makes life worth living

You Won

Yours is the face he sees each day

Yours is the voice he hears say "I love you"

Yours are the arms that hold him close

You are the one he chose to give forever

You won--so why rub it in?

DECEPTION

Nothing as it seems

Life is full of illusion

Everyone wears masks.

With You/Without You

With you I was whole, my life was complete.

I was ready to share all your pain and joy.

Without you, I am empty--there's a hole

In my heart where your love used to be.

With you, I was a woman of strength and power

Who finally knew just what she wanted from life.

Without you, I'm that lost little girl, frightened and alone,

Who struggles to find a reason to go on every day.

With you, I believed in undying love again

And in dreams that could come true at last.

Without you, my heart is shattered beyond repair

And dreams have turned to nightmares and sorrow.

Wish Upon A Star

Did you ever wish upon a shooting star

To be with the one who's now so far

And did you ever cry for someone who

You once thought loved and adored only you?

Does your mind ever wander in the night,

Thinking about someone who's out of sight?

Do you look to the heavens for just a clue

That I'm out there somewhere, still thinking of you?

Happy (?) Anniversary

Even though you're not here

And may never be again,

I haven't forgotten what day it is

Or what it used to mean to US.

Thirteen months ago today

We admitted to feeling "something"

With no idea where that would lead,

Yet it wasn't long before we both

Promised "forever and beyond"--

And even though you've changed your mind,

I never will.
