Poetry By: Tara Stacy

I can not stay here, yet I can not leave.

What can I say to make you belive?

Always haunted, never affriad.

Trying to think of the words I should say.

Always fighting, the war needs to end.

This time we can not make amends.

There will be no flowers, no not this time.

There will be no Angles gracing these sad lines.

Just these stark words I need to say.

Come with me I'll lead the way.

I'd show a smile, but I am to weak.

I would share with you could I only speak.

I can not stay here, I am going to leave.

All I 've liked And all I've loved,

I have made make belive.

We have been doing battle for so long,

Now it's time to stand up and be strong.

We need to find the strength to leave each other alone.

We need to find the strength to just give up and move on.

===========================================

Look around spring is here,

and so my being I must compare.

My soul is like a bird,

flying though the wind.

My heart beats a melody,

one that will never end.

My love flows like a river,

wild and free.

You are the specail person,

God made for me.

When you cry,

my tears fall like the rain.

When you laugh,

sunshine is what I gain.

When one falls down,

the other picks us up.

And together we move on.

There has been hard times,

And there will be even worse troubles.

But at the end our love wiil have doubled.

I will carry you ,

and you can carry me.

We will give each other faith,

and full fill each others dreams.

In this poem,

my love I send.

Look around, my sweet, winter with all it's cold nights,

has come to an end.

=========================================

"For The Top Five"

For the loves I lost,

and for the ones that are still here.

For the ones that hate me,

and the ones that still care.

This is my plee.

My plee to say I'm sorry.

I know for you this is a different tune,

to the same old story.

I also know in the past I hurt you.

That being the only truth.

It probably seems I have no heart.

But that is just the ending,

with a very difficult start.

I have some trust issues,

this is a known fact.

The reason I've never asked for another chance,

is because you probably don't want me back.

Some men I've pissed off,

Some I've made cry,

Some i've made real happy,

Some won't love for along, long time.

Some I wanted to punish,

Some I ment to hurt,

Some egos I wanted tarnished,

The others I wanted them to fell like dirt.

This poem is for the guys I've held real close,

and for the ones I've pushed away.

For the ones that were my best friends,

Sadly for some that had to change.

To some this poem is for closer,

A means to an end.

For others it is justice,

For them the closer will just begin.

I know you will not belive me as I say this to you.

I do not mean some of the things I say or do.

This story I tell needs to be told,

If for nothing else but to show you I'm not that cold.

For some of you I can never be forgiven.

From some of you I already have.

Some of you haven't thought about it,

and went on livin'.

Some of you look at me and laugh.

This story is getting kinda long,

So I think I'll bring it to an end.

I'm sorry if I hurt you,

I'm sorry if I've pissed you off,

I'm sorry for all the loves,

because of me that you've lost.

I don't know how many times I can apologize.

So I'll try once again,

and if you could ever forgive me,

Someday, some how i wish we could still be friends.

=============================================

The road is longand the journey is rough.

At times it's hard to find strength enough.

But through it all,

the ups and downs.

We learn to smile despite the frowns.

We learn to share our joy and pain.

To share with out expecting gain.

We learn to give a helping hand,

And how to lean when we can't stand.

We learn the difference between right and wrong.

To stand for right and always stand strong.

Though the road is hard and seems so long,

It's how we find where we belong.

Because it's through life'sbends and turns,

That we can truly grow and truly learn.
