Weep

My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.

Wait for me
For 
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there 
No more, no more
To
Weep.

Don’t Tell Me

Don’t tell me 
I must be the same
same as you, not me.

Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.

Don’t tell me 
my thoughts are just lies.

Don’t tell me 
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.

Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.

My Heart Does Ache

Soley 
my heart does ache 
for ones taken 
as 
angels bring to heaven 
these innocent people 
who’ve lost 
their precious lives. 

What is the reason why? 

My heart aches 
I weep, we weep 
We cry.

Holding On And Being Kind

Holding on and being kind 
Will get you
To
The promise land. 

No one will fail nor even cry 
All is well
Enjoy
The journey 

Sleep rested 
Knowing you’ve arrived 
In
The sweet bye and bye.

I Live, I Die

I live, I die 

in-between 

I laugh, I cry.

Hold Me Close

Hold me close 

Don’t let me fall 
Between the cracks 

No not at all 

Let me see beauty 
Spreading far and wide 

No divide 

This is my wish 
My sole cry 

Hold me close 

Let not 
Our differences

Collide. 
~ Patrice

Together

Together we’ll be 
Together we’ll stay
For the earth is wondrous 
Creating love 
Each
And everyday. 

Let no man pull us apart 
Let no one fear nor cry 
For together we’ll be 
Forever
Far past the day we die.

I’m Not The One

I’m not the one 
to cry, weep or wail 
for the sky opens 
and all possibilities
will be at my disposal. 

Nothing to hinder me 
not one soul that fights 
is against the role 
that I see coming
for me. 

Laugh, cry
sing
a song of happy 
for it is truly
the road to eternity.

I Am Feeling Down

I am feeling down and all alone
Feel my heart beat a lonesome tone
Crying, standing in the wake
Of not where I want to be.

Hoping the mists of sadness
Will disappear, leaving behind
A world bright and clear
Full of anticipation, happiness
Not this awful, nagging fear and sadness.
~ Patrice

I Fear My Heart Will Sink

I fear my heart will sink
Deep beneath all those things
That
Run my world
Bringing morning sun
And everything.

Then
Will I still be able
To laugh, cry and see
Moon beams streaming
Love
Filled with ecstasy?
~ Patrice
