I had to post these poems that Ashley wrote, she was one hell of a writer
Just kills me to read them
Unpredictable, as the ocean
I am tumbling and oh so cross
If I were to die, this very moment
Would you take it as a loss
Here I lay, lay alone, no one else beside me
I have time, oh so much time, and there is nothing left inside me
When I dream, I dream about you
But you always pass me by
If I were bold, so bold to ask you
Would you give me the reasons why
Let me sleep, don't wake me up, even if I am crying
It's better than, to be aware, knowing I'm slowly dying
I had premonitions, as a child
A life of love was not, in the cards
Now I know, I'll die alone
I never dreamed it would, be this hard
Memories, sweet memories, they are all that I can cling to
The past is gone, I can't move on, I've nothing left to give you
Are you happy, happy to see me
Or did you think, that I had gone
To another, time and dimension
Or even to the great beyond
Remember me, for who I was, and not what you see before you
I'm not the girl, I used to be, still love me, I implore you
I hold it in, deep inside me
Then I break and scream aloud
For all you do, is criticize me
Have you ever told me, you were proud
I'm not myself, I'm someone else, one who has trouble dealing
My heart has turned, turned to stone, and I care not what you're feeling
Please don't touch me, for I am hurting
Yet I long so, to be held
Was I ever, worthy of loving
It's something time will never tell
Push me away, you cannot stay, and take care of this burden
No more than I, wish to be one, for this much I am certain
I've cried rivers, such deep rivers
Til the tears, reached waist high
Will I ever, know all the answers
Or will I forever, be asking why
I am tired, as the night, please wrap your arms around me
Or will you turn, turn your back, and leave me as you found me
Here I lay, ensconced in darkness
And I cannot, find the the light
I do not care, to have a future
Yet I see no end in sight
What will it be, it's up to me, should I wait for more tomorrows
Or close my eyes, and hold my breath, as I drown in tears of sorrows
