Friends of old try
Using technology of new
To get together
And celebrate a life of a dear friend

This isn't a hallmark card
We reminisce of years gone by
20 years at the very least
Many so old, some still young

We aren't friends of flowers
Friends of sweetness and candies
We are friends of honest words
Of "kiss my ass Jim" our own personal Captain Kirk

We tease each other
We wrestle and occasionally punch one another
Hey I even put Dan's head through a wall once
This is the essence of our friendship

Real as real can be
This is how we choose to remember
Our dear friend so close to our hearts
With laughter and tears and a punch or two

Chris you will never be forgotten
Every punch is a memory of you
Every hug with a tear or two is all for you
We know you are watching saying what dumbasses we are

It is all for you

[PoeticWitch]

Two years have passed
Since you went on to the other side
Personally I don't believe
In heaven or hell
But no matter what I think
I hope you are where you want to be

You are missed
Many small ways
Sometimes in large ways
Such is life I suppose
Causing tears years later
When you aren't even around to see the aftermath

Though you might not be here
In the psychical sense
You still effect our lives
A stray thought you
A particular scent bringing forth a whole slew of memories
My favorite dish you use to cook Hamburger Pie

Jake just doesn't make it as good as you Mom
But he tries because it gives me comfort
I love you Mommy and I miss you terribly
I wish you were here telling me those outlandish stories
You know which ones.. the ones that just couldn't be true
I would always pretend they were real and hide under the blankets

I miss you Mommy
I hope you found peace on the other side
I hope you found happiness on the other side
I hope you found love on the other side
Don't wait up for me, I will be there soon enough
Don't wait up for me on the other side

There on the shelf
In my room
Is a box and a cannister
Both full of ashes
Of someone very dear
The cannister is mine to keep
The box full of ashes are slowly dwindling
Every year on a certain day
A friend or two and I
Go to the river
We build little paper boats
Add a little bit of ashes
And send them on down the river
Mother had an affinity for the water
Just like me
So I do the best I can
With what I got
Send you on down the river
Blessings upon you
And your trip down the river

You have bettered my life
My Love

You have made my life magical
My Love

You have helped me find faith
My Love

I smile every day because of you
I feel so loved and adored
I cannot help but cry tears of joy

Yes I have great material things
That wouldn't have without you
My Love

To be true to my love for you
I would give up all the material
Just to keep you with me forever

Forever in love
Forever laughing
Forever crying tears of joy

Arms wrapped around each other
Tight as tight can be
Never letting go of our love for one another.

How does your garden grow?
Are your flowers all in a row?
Pansies here to the right
Daisies there to the left
Precious roses right there in the center.

How does your garden grow?
How long will your flowers bloom for you?
The roses so beautiful are stolen right beneath your nose
But the Pansies and Daises are there
To comfort you in you time of need

The rose didn't use their thorns to protect their home
But the Pansies and Daisies made sure to stay
For they are loyal til the end
Some flowers have the staying power
To light up your life for the long haul

To set the scene
You need thunder clouds
Pouring rain
An overflowing river

Now remember
This is all in your head
No matter how real it feels
Like a little movie in your brain

No one else can see it
No one else wants to share it
Your own personal purgatory
Maybe a personal hell

You stand there
On the edge of the river
Overwhelming with sadness and tears
Rain pouring down soaking you to the bones

Thunder clapping
Lightning flashing
Covering your screams
Screams of pain and torment

None can hear you
None in your head
And none in reality
As you suffer alone

This is my depression
I would love to share it
So it would be half the pain
But chemical depressions are not so easily shared

So I stay here
But the river of sorrow and tears
My makeup running down my face
As the river and the rain over take me

I pray for salvation
I pray for sun to break through the clouds
To dry me up and bless me
With happiness and smiles

[PoeticWitch]

Sleep is fleeting
As I dream of evil bunnies
In pink and purple polka dots
They aren't there for snuggles to be sure
With their sharp little teeth
I feel them sink into my flesh
Repeatedly electric shocks to my heart
Is this to help me?
To remind me to live?
Or to slowly kill me?
In a very painful way?
Loose the dogs!
The Chihuahuas are on the run!
To hunt the evil bunnies
To make a tasty meal of them
What a frightening thought!
I am so done with this dream
Or is it a nightmare?
Please let me wake up Mr. Sandman!
Damn bunnies!
Save me my magnificent Chihuahua Warriors!
As I roll out of bed
Forcing my eyes open
To what I hope is reality
