A Minute Before

Time is not always a friend,
In time would ur wounds mend?
Fate isn’t always kind.
Can you leave the past behind?
You’ve known her for longer,
Your heart still wanders,
To memories that linger,
Of you and her together.

Would you have loved me more,
Or stab my heart with a knife,
Had I met you a minute before,
The moment she entered your life?
Would you have chosen me, wherefore,
Put an end to my inner strife,
Had you seen me a minute before,
The moment she entered your life?

Yes, she looks lovely,
Yes, she is very pretty,
She may also smile sweetly,
But she’ll never love you completely.
Are you so blind not to perceive,
That you are a part of me?
I’d love you endlessly,
But she’s still all that you can see.

Leaving no space for me,
She filled up your heart.
But will we ever be-
Now that you’re apart?

(...Of being in love with a person whose heart is lost in the past..)

Always There For You

It hurts to see you sad,
In times when things go rough,
I know not what to say or do,
But all I can say to you,
Is that I’ll always be your friend,
Stay with you till the end,
When times get rough, and things go wrong,
Don’t be afraid, please stay strong,
This may not be a perfect song,
But I’m always there for you.

I may not say the right words,
To mend your broken heart,
I know you’re upset and all alone,
Feeling shattered, felling torn,
Remember you have friend,
Willing to stay till the end,
If you ever need a shoulder to cry on,
Someone who’s there, be it dusk or dawn,
One who stays when the rest are gone,
I’m always there for you.

I can see your eyes cloud,
Hear the sadness in your voice,
It hurts - yes, I know
But please don’t feel so low.

(....For a Friend experiencing the unpleasant sides of Life...)

I Have Sinned

I have seen things I shouldn’t have seen,
I’ve been to places I shouldn’t have been,
I have said things I didn’t mean,
Our Father, Who art in Heaven- I have sinned

Your Commandments, I have not kept,
For the sick, poor and dying I have not wept,
While there was turmoil and confusion I’ve slept,
Our Father, Who art in Heaven- I have sinned

I have cheated, hurt and lied,
Many secrets I still, in my heart, hide,
Back to my old habits I still do slide,
Our Father, Who art in Heaven- I have sinned

For all the things I’ve done I regret,
But none of these things can I ever forget,
Seeing the scars left, I cry and fret,
Our Father, Who art in Heaven- I have sinned

But this life has left me tired and weak,
From above the Angels look down and weep,
They shed for me some tears so sweet,
Our Father, Who art in Heaven- I have sinned

The things I’ve done I can not undo,
Though from all the evil I withdrew,
I hope I can start again, a life new,
But Our Father, Who art in Heaven- Forgive my sins.
