You
From the first day I laid eyes on you
Every color had a brighter hue
Your tiny hand curled into a ball
Into love I could not help but fall
As you grew and began to learn
My mind would wander and my heart would yearn
You grew so fast and got so smart
I knew not far off was the day you’d break my heart
You fell in love and made a home
You did like children do and left me on my own
I watch you now and couldn’t be more proud
I watch your children growing up to become happy, healthy, beautiful and loud
I pray I get to see the day
You get to feel, the same way

My Mind’s Eye
In my mind’s eye, you occupy time and space
It’s filled with the image of your haunting face
Your sweet words my head they do fill
As I lay my body down to get quiet and still
The day is finished, over and done
I go to my dreams where we are no longer separate, but together as one
Leanna Harrow
Could It Be
Could it be that you have found a place in my heart?
Where it’s been waiting for you to claim it from the start
Could it be that you are the one that is meant for me?
That fate has said this is going to be
Never before could I see, a future laid out in front of me
Now I dream of what’s yet to come, us together, meant to be
Leanna Harrow
Walk Into Hell…
I let you into my so called life
You paid me back with the jagged blade of your knife
I foolishly let you touch my heart
I knew better from the start
You taught me well
You walked me straight into hell
From this dream I will wake
With that all too familiar ache
Never again will I give my heart away
You saw to that on this very day
Leanna Harrow
Bitter Sting
Why is my heart such a mess?
I used to not care less
You woke it up and made it sing
Now all I can feel is loves bitter sting
It is better off tucked away, on a shelf, out of reach
No way for you to hurt it, break it into pieces; devour it like a ripened peach
All that you left is a gaping, hollow hole where it used to be
Thanks to you, I am no longer strong, no longer safe, no longer me
Leanna Harrow
A Beautiful Liar
You are such a beautiful liar
With just words you can set my heart on fire
I wanted to be caught in your web, to walk into your lair
The stories you told, you told with such flair
You sucked me in and bled me dry
I knew better, but had to ask you why
With what you told me, I wanted to die
I knew you would just tell me another beautiful lie
Leanna Harrow
The Key
Could it be that a man like you could want a woman like me?
After years of sorrow, how could I be so lucky?
Should I set my caged heart free?
Look around and try to find the key
My mind races with thoughts of where it could be
But my hands have found it hard to hang onto the elusive key
Or should I keep it where it’s safe, where I think it should be?
Forever throwing away, what may be what’s meant to be
Leanna Harrow
Patiently Wait
I sit here and patiently wait
Early evening turns into late
Wishing I could see your precious face
Have you take me to that special place
Open up my heart, walk through its gate
I sit here and patiently wait
Leanna Harrow
Most
As I see you sitting there
Amidst the hot suns blinding glare
So much mystery, so many secrets you will not tell
While all along you known me oh so well
I wonder what deep dark secret lies behind your eyes
Wondering what I can do to quiet your silent cries
To take you into my arms, hold you close and make you feel loved
For you will always be my beloved
Let me in, let me close
I’ll be the one to love you most
Leanna Harrow
Past
If you’re quiet, you can hear
The whisper I send to your ear
If you are still, you will feel
The touch I lay upon you, cold as steel
If you close your eyes and take a breath
You will smell my scent, I smell like death
Live this day as if it were your last
Once I come for you, there is no more past
Leanna Harrow
