K's 17th

 Its in the first 

heard 

heartbeat. 

Its in the first moment 

of knowing 

of your 

potential 

existence. 

Its in the expectant 

day of getting 

to hear your 

first cry, to hold you 

for the first time. 

It is in watching you 

grown, watching

your learn. 

Its seeing the girl you were

to the woman you 

are becoming. 

It was the moment I knew 

my life 

would never be the same. 

It is in the moment, 

I saw your 

precious face, 

held your sweet hand in mine

and kissed your cheek. 

From the day you were born and the 9 

months before, 

I loved you. 

Yesterday is gone, 

memories that forever

we will treasure. 

Today is here and we will 

add it to the days gone by. 

Tomorrow is unknown, 

but its a future 

for you to experience

a life for you to live. 

From the little girl 

who played princess and 

wore tiara's 

to the girl I see today

who loves all things 

I may not 

understand, and

to the woman of tomorrow that 

will shape the world to suit 

her needs.

Always know that I will 

be here for you 

not matter where you go, or

what you do. 

Soon you will 

be 17

and I smile for 

all that I have seen you do, 

as for moment I want 

to freeze the time

and keep you small. 

Today, 

Tomorrow and 

forever, 

I love you. 

Seeing You

She sees you. 

The very part of you 

that you keep

hidden. 

She sees the insecurities, 

the frailties 

you don't let the world see. 

She knows your heart, 

when you don't even know it

yourself. 

She watches the way you

ignore who your 

own feelings

and your own true 

self. 

She hears what you 

don't say. 

She reads between

the lines of the things you 

do say. 

She watches as 

you play a role of who 

you are truly not. 

She sheds a tear of the man 

you are,

but 

refuse to let the world 

see. 

She smiles 

because she knows that 

deep down, 

you are a person

worth loving, 

but frowns 

because no one will 

ever be close 

enough to 

you, 

to get to know that 

secret, hidden, special 

place, that makes 

you, you. 

She has turned from you, 

so she can't see 

the betrayal of yourself 

and so that you can't 

see the pity

that resides in her 

eyes, 

every time she looks

at you. 

Pictures

Pictures 

say a thousand 

words. 

They tell the story 

of days gone by and 

predict future joy. 

Moments frozen, 

captured in time. 

Forever framed and hung to 

share the story 

of what was and was to 

come. 

Pictures don't tell

the secrets 

of those who reside

inside. 

They don't tell the 

silent stories 

no one wants to share. 

They hang on walls and 

display the 

smiles and 

laughs, 

but no one 

takes the picture that 

shares the 

pain. 

No one takes the ones

that show the tears, 

and the fears

of what will 

no longer be. 

No more will they be 

the family that 

they were. 

No longer will they be 

the couple 

that everyone thought 

they were. 

Pictures say a 

thousand words...

but each one 

is a lie. 

A betrayal of 

the truth. 

Pictures only show

what one wants 

the world 

to see. 

This Girl

You're crazy, 

arrogant and history. 

A problem in my past

I have no desire

to solve. 

A lost cause, a mess 

that I don't need. 

Misery, destruction and 

broken hearts are the path behind you 

and unseen in front 

of you. 

Mess is your middle name. 

Heartache is your 

game. 

Playing is what you 

do best. 

I don't need your 

games, 

your unsaid lies, 

your drama. 

No need and no want. 

Today I say good riddance, 

good bye and 

lock the door 

I should have slammed the 

day you said hello. 

I'm moving on. 

I am taking back control 

of my heart 

my life and 

keeping you in the very far 

rear view. 

This girl 

doesn't need you,

Doesn't want you. 

This girl is 

so over the 

craziness that is you. 

Over the tail of tears 

she has cried over you. 

Today this girl 

realizes there is a her, 

without you. 

This girl will be your

heartache, 

when you realize 

that she is what you need, 

what you want 

and the girl that no longer 

wants any part of you. 

She takes back her heart 

and her life. 

This girl is back!
