Her stomach churns in painful knots,
While still holding on to her chest.
Deciding she must tell somebody something,
With her last dying breath.

From my latest poem, "An Angel's Calling"..

Why? Even though I was surrounded by so many people,
I felt like I was the lonliest person on Earth.
So I started searching for your shadow.

Even though time has passed,
The clouds won't clear.
And the tears from the sky,
Still won't stop falling.

The footprints you left on my heart,
Are visible for everyone to see.
As you turned your back and walked away,
And it's all because of me.

-ashlei.

Your laughter still lives within me,
Along with that smile in your eyes.
But I know I can never bring you back,
No matter how hard I cry.

Dedicated to my brother, Mikey.
R.I.P

Our pasts and our futures become one,
As the night turns to morning.
I'll gently wrap you in my heart,
That's wider than the seven seas.

You weren't there to see me cry,
You weren't there to help me try.
To stop to start,
To live to breathe.
I wasn't worth it,
You didn't need me.
But I needed you,
Didn't you see?

-not my work. my cousin Frances wrote this.

It's hard to tell you I love you.
As Im standing over your grave..

Dedicated to Michael.

No matter how I try,
These memories won't let go.
Im only human, trying to get by these memories of my own.

I'd abandon everything,
If I could just hold you in my arms again.
But your too far away.
And even my voice, as I wish for it, won't reach you.
