Standing tall

by Eric Velasquez   Jun 24, 2008


Hello wake up and smell
the concrete
life knocked me on my back
but I'm back on my feet
standing tall raising my voice
so it could be heard
cause I'm going to be
showing how
how I'm going to be
doing this now
this isn't like my other poems
and rhymes i spew
its something original
and something new
one thing in common
with the rest though
its dedicated to you
written to prove to you
i know how and i know now
just what a blessing
you are to me
i miss you like crazy
the scab still opens
and still i bleed
open my eyes to see
that you are all i want and need
if not now maybe
one day we can be
once again
my beautiful brown eyed girl
and me
and if that day comes ill show you
im capable of doing this right
ill give you all my love and soul
and ill try with all my might
to keep that smile
on your face
and wipe away the tears
left for some days
but when i come back
ill stay for the rest of my years

    Time can heal the wounds of love but can't always sooth the heart. I feel your pain and know there are many that have been down your path. May your future be filled with better moments that will make sweet memories that will keep you company in old age. Life is always a challenge for us all. Keep your poems coming. peace
