There's not a day.There's not a day goes past where I don't think about you.Miss you,wish you were still around.There's not a day goes past where I don't want want to speak to you,ask a question, just hear your voice or soak up your wisdom.Yet you are gone and the memories I have are good.Yet you are gone but God I miss you.T...

Sometimes I wish that I could die!Just curl up and let life stop.and all its troubles pass me by.No longer trying to find my way,through the haze of daily life.That surrounds me like an oppressive fog.I dream how simple it would be.To fall into eternal sleep.Become a fading memory.But what if death is not the end?And life her...
