A Learning Experience


Love is a learning experience
Give some up, take some back
Not too much - keep some of you for yourself
Don't be greedy, take it slow

Make love
Lay your head on my breast
Something wet rolling down my side
I look and ask why the tears are there
You tell me you're afraid it's the last time
My sorrow meets yours

It's not the last time
Sometimes it weighs heavy
Most times it's a beautiful gift
Another night, another morning
Time rolls by
Happiness is upon us

Distractions come
Stress pursues
Life gets complicated
Loving me takes work, I know this
You stand by me

Loving you is not hard
You make it easy
You make it work
Even when you're frustrated
You find the drive
You find the determination
You keep us together
You keep us strong

Love is a learning experience
Give some up and take some back

Broken Hearts


Broken hearts are
broken dreams,
An agonizing pain
and always full of tears.

Broken Hearts are
broken lives,
Usually filled with
lies and fears.

Broken hearts are
broken smiles,
A punch in the gut...
another fight to overcome.

Broken hearts are
sleepless nights,
A sob in the darkness
filled with shivers in the cold.
