The sky is your canvas, the trees are your brushes, and the sea is your palette, make a masterpiece out of it.


I feel a pain.
Not cut yourself pain,
not slit your throat pain
not spider bite pain, but the pain of losing a loved one

You were there for me all my life.
if the dark were upon me,
you were the light that out shined the sun,
Hearing your voice,
was like listening to a soft guitar

Seeing you in pain,
was like looking at a leaveless tree
Your cries of pain,
felt like fresh venom, coursing through my veins

The wind blew softly,
the clouds stooped their march,
the grass was slowly dying
thats when I knew you had gone

I'm sorry that I didn't say goodbye
I'm sorry I wasn't there to see your eyes close
but now I know thateven if I were there
you would have said the same thing to me...

"I love you darlin"
