My Fairytale (Poem unrelated to Eva’s life, strictly
fictional)
I've been looking for an answer.
I've been searching for a soul.
That one and only person,
Who can make my heart feel whole.
I know he's out there somewhere.
Just waiting to be found.
I pray that I will know him,
When I see him in a crowd.
And maybe he will wave hello,
With a smile on his face.
And then he'll know, and I will know,
It was meant to be this way.
But it's just a dream I often have.
A fantasy I know.
A fairytale I can not have.
Since I lost him long ago.

Eternally Mine
(Poem unrelated to Eva’s life, strictly fictional)
Sweet love of mine, my heart does ache.
How often it does cry.
Whenever you're to far away,
Or simply say goodbye.
My mind is always thoughtful,
Of you it mostly dreams.
Of where and when we next will meet.
Of love, I feel so weak.
My dearest love, don't call me fool.
It's you I call my all.
Forever now and still in death.
My heart, to you belongs.

This next poem we (James and I ) wrote to celebrate Isaiah's
first year with us.
Year One
A year ago we'd yet to meet.
Had yet to hold you tight.
Had yet to gaze upon your smile,
Or see your eyes so bright.
A glimpse was all that mommy saw,
When first you did arrive.
Before the doctors wheeled her out,
To help her stay alive.
The labor wasn't everything
We'd hoped that it would be.
Your mommy had some problems,
That the doctor couldn't see.
We brought you home on Friday morn,
To start our lives anew.
A tiny life brought forth from God,
A love we never knew.
Things started out so simple,
All you did was sleep.
But slowly you became a mover,
And discovered little feet.
Crawling, walking, falling down.
They all came much too fast.
The time flew by, and now you're one.
Our sweetest little man.
You stole our hearts with just one look.
And words do not suffice.
Our love for you consuming us,
Growing more and more each night.
So here's to you, our son, our love.
On this your very first year.
We'll miss our little baby boy,
But can't wait to see next year.

Obsession
Save me from myself, from terror
and from pain.
Forgive me for my sins my love, forgive me for today.
Alone I sit and wonder, alone I sit and stare.
Try to illustrate my pain, feeling worthless, feeling scared.
Suffer with me not apart. Come and send me home.
Far away from all who give, from all who broke my heart.
Conceal my torment from you, buried down inside.
Anticipation burns me, help me make it right.
I cry alone in silence, I hear my heart scream out.
It pierces deep into my chest; I feel my heart ripped out.
A moment of hesitation, a moment of doubt and fear.
Next the moment fades to black, my life has ended here.
Separation from you, separate from your heart.
Separation from your love, forever we’re apart.
Undying love I have for you, undying till the end.
Forever I’ll remember you, my one and only friend.

My Own Betrayal
Rare is the perfect flower, that blooms yet never dies.
Just as rare and perfect, was the love you had inside.
Your love for me was honest, a lie you never told.
And so my tears run like a river, a never-ending flow.
Somehow I learned betrayal, and that’s just what I did.
Forgot about our promises, how sacred they had been.
It seemed as if you died, a single flame burned out.
And so I cried for hours, can someone get me out?
What wind could cause such damage?
What a mighty storm indeed.
Because it was no storm at all…
Because it was just me.

Underneath Me
Underneath the shadows he walks
all alone.
A sadness overwhelms his body and soul.
When fists are forced against my face.
I feel pain underneath it, it hurts to embrace.
But still I wait, and hope for more.
Held underneath him, he’s pounding more.
I accept when he says, "I’m sorry dear".
But still I feel pain underneath my fear.
I hope and I pray that the very next day,
I will stand up with pride and with strength,
No longer underneath, but standing up tall.
With skin clear of bruises, a smile of peace.
By: Eva C. Arredondo
Gone Away
Try to please you and myself.
The two don’t work the same amount.
No need for flowers, chardonnay.
Our fate will catch up anyway.
An empty room in darkness stays.
A lonely heart beat gone away.
And hope that maybe will return.
To come and save me anyway.
By: Eva C. Arredondo
Keeping It Low
Some have a smile of greed on their face.
Others are cruel, but don’t know what to say.
Of the fear that is in us, only few of us know.
The pain that’s involved, in keeping it low.
It digs in your skin like a drill going mad,
It stops for an instant, then starts up again.
Others don’t think that the sadness is there,
But I know the truth, of the lingering fear.
I felt the knife that you drove in my back.
And I know the pain from the night that you left.
Of the fear that is in us, only few of us know,
The pain that’s involved, in keeping it low.
By: Eva C. Arredondo
I’m Coming
In that instant that I lost you,
my heart died, broken apart by the pain.
Laying you to rest, our final day together but a blur.
So peaceful, you seem to smile at me from beyond.
How can I go on without you?
I felt so numb, not a tear was shed from my eyes.
A cold feeling that stayed with me, lingered…
Not that I wasn’t angry, sad, alone.
Just to shocked to feel the pain, scared to realize
the truth.
Forever gone, never to return to me, stand by my side.
All our friends, so concerned, move on they all say.
How can I, taken away so fast, too soon.
What now? Pretend that life goes on?
Pretend to be okay, deal with the pain.
Why lie to yourself? I promised to be true, always.
I’ll be with you soon my love, any minute,
Just wait, here I come…
