to a love

please don't go away from me
please, when my anger rolls over you like a thunderstorm and the rain blocks out the sun
Please still see me
when i shutdown and go away inside of me , underground
please love me and come to find me
when i awaken chilled and afraid from a nightmare filled with scenes from the past
please be there next to me to soothe me and to hold me
me the hateful one
I the frustrated one
me the sad one forever being that sad girl
please don't go away when my roller coaster of emotions has exhausted you
please remember me laughing and free
when we first met, that was me ,the real me
please don't forget that girl , brown eyes, goofy smile, holding your hand, that's me
when i am afraid ,please come to me , please look for me, please come and find me
when i scream that i don't love you when i say that i hate you , please don't remember
please always have the ability to forgive me on the dark days and share with me all my sunny days , because i do , always love you

REWIND

he sits in his cell every day building his own world in his own mind
he goes through the motions again , and again if only, i want to go back, i want to hit rewind
so many times he could have turned that corner, so many times he could have said no
in prison his mind is free, in there he travels to places he's never seen, he hits rewind
back to the beginning , back to the hood , back to dad getting drunk , momma in crazy mood
back to hanging with his sister , she 's crying cuz she's scared, he goes back , way back
he's building his life over with blocks of knowledge and blocks of pain , he hit's rewind
he remembers smells, leaves burning and walking through them and the feel of running
playing with his brothers in the sun , thinking of ways to get up , to rise up, he goes back
he's seen so much , he could fill a book , he could be a teacher , he could go back
he thinks of his friend, that he lost, he got shot,he goes back to that day standing outside the funeral, it was a cold day , he goes back to the days that they laughed and they hung out , he hit's rewind
in his cell , he is alone with just him and his memories, sometimes he just wants to go back
at the end of the day he lays his head down and prays that the truth he shall find, he hits rewind
