| Dream Lover I reach for you, and you're not there And as I rub the sleep from my eyes I realize it was just another dream Night after night, you haunt my dreams With visions of the life we shared Or did I just imagine it all? Awake now, I try to remember But the pictures in my mind They're faded, and out of focus Did we really share a special love? Were we really that happy? How could we have been if it ended? Questions and doubts swirl inside my head Emptiness holds fast to my heart And sleep tugs at the boundaries of my consciousness I lay down, and drift off to sleep once more And, as always you're there Loving me in my dreams As you never loved me in reality Copyright � Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Enough Already! I say this, and you say that I say it's blue, you say black If I think it's a beautiful day You say it looks like it's gonna rain If I'm in a cheerful mood You are the prophet of doom No matter what I happen to say You're gonna see things another way So why don't we just say goodbye Then we can get on with our lives I've had enough, I want no more Don't let me keep you, there's the door Copyright � 1/9/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Epiphany Just what did this year mean to me? How does one describe one's destiny? To live one's whole life incomplete And then, out of the blue...to meet The one person who really knows What lies inside this lonely soul And knows it without being told Someone like that's worth more than gold But this year, suck a gift did I Receive with blessings from on high She helped me to believe again In the precious love between friends And in my ability, too To use my writing to get through The walls between me, and the world And in so doing, my soul unfurled I'm becoming someone I'm proud of Thanks to the healing pow'r of love So this year's been my unveiling An epiphany, oh so telling My Angel's boundless faith in me Has given me wings; made me free The coming year may hold surprise But the love that shines from her eyes Has given me the confidence To face whatever consequence May come my way, because I know No matter what, she'll never go Copyright � 12/28/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
