Flavor of the Month
*******************
By: Josephina
*************

You had fun?
Not like I'm much fun lately...
no, I'm no fun.
I'm not the Flavor of the Month.

You ate me so much last month,
I'm sickening and repulsive to you
Just the thought of me turns your stomach
But I guess that's what happens
when you eat too much of me.

I get replaced by a new Flavor
So you can eat her until she disgusts you too.
And then you'll throw away your empty bowl,
your stomach full and satisfied,
And forget all about me.

MY WAY
******
Harder rain has never fallen
Then on this night....My doom
Though sky's are clear
My way is not
Emptiness consumes

An angels song,
A demon's shriek
My soul begins to end
The hand of God
Warm and pure
My soul begins to mend

The clouds must part,
The way must clear
Is this the path I'll choose
On the other side
I hope to find
That I am not refused

Friends
*******
as you go through life
friends come and go
but only those who are special
remain close to our heart
as I go through my life
I'm glad have you there


The friend I have
*****************
how is it that
when one is down
there is always a friend
to pick you up
that one person is now
your friend
the smile on your face
or the understanding ear
are greatly appreciated
more than you will ever know
friends are always there
when you are down
I am so glad you were there
for me on that day


All Alone
*********
in what way can you tell
when you are all alone
the friend I had at one time
made me feel so special
that friend is now not there
I feel so all alone
in ways I try to cover
by talking for lengths of time
with that short time
it helps a bit
but the hurt will stay
by being all alone


Me
**
as you have figured out
I am a very giving person
friend if you will
I want to give so much
but can only give what I can
my heart is very open
my shoulders very broad
I will listen to you
if you ever need an ear
I am your friend
as you are mine
I will have this no other way
what other way could it be

Respect
*******
why is it that you snicker
if the word respect comes up
would you do the same
if the word admiration was spoken
the ways one can respect you
are for who you are
how you treat your friends
or maybe just because
in what ways could I admire you
admiration for a friend
is the only way to think of
when the word is thought
so yes I do respect
and have some admiration
for you my friend


Was it meant to be
******************
how is it that when you meet
you have not a clue
you meet so many people
but only few become friends
from those friends you suddenly
know how close one will be
that one friend breaks down the walls
walls that have  built up with time
as friends you not only talk and listen
but also understand each other


Treading Water
**************
with a question
or a wrong word
something that is said
I feel as if
I am treading water

things start to die down
you say you will forgive
maybe will forget
I still feel as if
I am treading water

things are going fine
we get along well
everything behind us
I still feel as if
I am treading water

but with things that were said
the wrong word
at the wrong time
I still feel as if
I am treading water

the water that was once calm
has now been treaded
will it ever be calm
I feel as if
I am treading water


You will not know
*****************
you will not look at me
you will not know
you do not see my eyes
you will not see the hurt
you will not talk to me
you will not hear

For what you do not know
you will still look at me
through your mind
you will still see me
through the memories
you will still talk to me
though not knowing it

for what I know is that
we will always be friends
by what we have felt
for each other
in our hearts


Friends
*******
friends may not have
been here yesterday
but they are here today
and if they are true
they will be here
for a lifetime


My eyes
*******
when you look
into my eyes
what is it
that you see

do you still see
joy, happiness or love
or is it
pain that you see

my eyes have
Nothing to hide
behind anymore
not even a mask

so when you look
into my eyes
tell me what
it is  you see

Surely
She said
Surely goodness and mercy
She chanted
Surely
He said
Surely taking you apart
He ranted
But still.....
Surely she said

Isn't it amazing, the amount of time spent
Must be hard for you to understand
The smile in their eyes!

What has it taken? so many days gone by
the reason honest ..........their torrential lies
it never dies

you see hypocrisy I see the dice
could you ever understand??????
why I say goodbye?

when the thought comes to you
have I been gone????  for how long
just a whisper in your night

it's all yours mystic

I'd give anything for you
to understand and see
just how special i think you are
and how much you mean to me.

If you could only understand
exactly how i feel
I know you would find that
my feelings for you are real.

I made some mistakes  this is true
but i can't go back and make them right
and im so sorry my life has hurt you
this is all i think of through the night.

I couldn't forsee the future
but i am there now and its ever so hard
but know that i will get through this for sure
even though it will leave a very  deep scar.

I will think of you often with tears in my eyes
watching the moon rise and the sun  set
knowing i have loved you
since the day we met.

CANDLE EYES
***********

By: Sara

As I look upon the burning gold light of my candle,
I see my cat's eyes looking at me
 with a sad and lonely stare.
I hear her cry and tell me
 how much she misses and needs me.
The heat of the candle reminds me of her warm fur
 brushing up against my hand as I pet her.
I picture her long brown furry fur in my mind.
Then the rain starts dripping
 down, down, down from my eyes.
I let out a big sigh.
The candle goes out.
I feel no warmth, love, fur.
I hear no cry.
I see no eyes, no picture in my mind.
My cat is gone.
