Some of my family may recognise these...And if they seem to be familar, or you take a shining to one, please respect my attemps at writing and DO NOT copy these. They are personal and sentimental to me... If you want to use one, contact me and I'll probably give you permission, but I don't want them wandering around without my okay. Many thanks...
Past tense sightings of Panther
Inspired feelings of pride
As sunshine gleamed
On a gray coat
On the white bib.
Now we observe in fear
Knowing his end is near
But we cannot stop the pain
We cannot stop the imminent.
He loves us, so he clings
To life, to the pain...
Soon his grip will fail
And only photographs and memories
Will keep his love alive.
Do you hurt yourself
Intentionally
To get my attention?
Am I truely
So negligent
You can only touch me through pain?
I see so many
Hurt and scarred
By stupid actions
For stupid reasons.
Don't hurt yourself for me.
I'm not worth the pain.
I don't need proof of love.
In the beginning...
Did you know how much I'd care?
Did you know you'd tear me apart?
Was the life I gave up worth the one I got?
In the beginning...
Do we know where we're going?
Do we know how to get there?
Are we all we were going to be?
In the beginning...
And in the end...
Here we are right now.
We can't see the future struggles
Any more than we clearly see
The struggles of the past.
Our hands touch.
Our hearts touch.
We are one, but not the same.
And we are the beginning.
