I want to know someone’s there
To hold me when I laugh
And when I cry when I’m sad
When I’m at my best, in all my glory
And at my worst, yet you’ll stand by me
Not judge, nor guilt me into shame
I want someone to love me
Be my cheerleader in life
To sing my loving praise
And I want inspire him to be
The champion of my heart
Whose dreams will never be out of reach
I want to lock eyes
From across a crowded room
And only see you and feel our passion
Begin to rise
I want to feel alive
Karen Degnan Foiles, 19 lutego 2013
Never thought I'd be sending you clothes today
Today of all days
A day to celebrate but instead
I picked out your favorite threads
And shipped our hopes a dreams away
To made sure you'd warm while away
I'm a little numb and going thru the motions
Throughout these complications
Still can’t believe our marriage is but a memory
On our anniversary

I turn the glass over and watch the sands fall
Creating a mound of memories to recall
I reflect to cherish, the days of my youth
Watching them slip by, not much I can do
But awake to a new day, that too will pass
I will pick up that glass and with no abash
I empty the grains of days gone by
Empty the time, and fool myself “why”?
Who wants to see that you’re getting older
Just let it come by and you’ll feel bolder
I’m not leaving without a fight
I’m stubborn and full of strife
I like how I feel and don’t want a reminder
Just how fast time slips by
So I will run in the that sand
And then kick my heals up high
Take “that” sand, take “that” time
Karen Degnan Foiles, 24 stycznia 2013
My love for you is endless
I say this with all my heart
Please be my valentine
For we will never part
Karen Degnan Foiles, 24 stycznia 2013
I lost the person that I once knew
She took a different path to pursue
A path that I had to go through
And paid my past life adieu
I used to like my crafts
To see what I can create
Now I only do for others
So 'they' can appreciate
I used to be outgoing
I liked to make new friends
Now I'm timid and boring
Now I sit back and blend
I used to love to sing
It was my favorite thing
It made me feel that I could heal
The pain that I felt inside
Now it's not a treasure
That I can take pleasure
It reminds me of who I was
And who I do not want to be
I'm told I must heal myself
When all my life I felt pain
I tried so hard to keep it shelved
Protecting myself from blame
I was always very sensitive
To harsh words or a loud yell
They cut so very deep within
Bid my self-esteem farewell
Now I try to see
Just where it all comes from
Not take it so personally
They had also succumb
Who am I, this person I've become
The old me has disappeared
As the new has persevered
I'm someone who's no longer numb
Karen Degnan Foiles, 24 stycznia 2013
When I'm troubled, down and weak
Your loving touch is what I seek
You're always there to touch my cheek
Even when your world was bleek
You were there for me to hold me tight
Or were you just being polite?
When I felt your feelings were slight
I can't help wonder if you're alright
Behind your loving eyes, smile and praise
What did you really mean to say?
The rash of words, too hurtful to say
We now look back on that painful day
Sometimes signals can be mistaken
When someone's trust has been shaken
We now cry our feeling awakened
When our feelings had been forsaken
Karen Degnan Foiles, 24 stycznia 2013
Chirp, chirp, chirp
I can hear the birds sing
Chirp, chirp, chirp
Oh the joy that sound brings
Chirp, chirp, chirp
They fly so carelessly
Chirp, chirp, chirp
Looking for something to eat
Chirp, chirp, chirp
It's like a baby's laugh
Chirp, chirp, chirp
That's splashing in a bubble bath
Chirp, chirp, chirp
They sing a pretty tune
Chirp, chirp, chirp
They also clear out the doom
Karen Degnan Foiles, 22 stycznia 2013
When I was little, I wanted to be
A speaker against prejudice and hating
My dad told me of a man of ground breaking
He spoke of equality for you and me
This man would bring people together
Of every creed and color
He tried to teach us live with each other
Side by side with toleration as brothers
He did not expect us to live in bliss
But with respect and without malice
He had a dream so strong and true
He had a dream for me and you
His life was short and not so perfect
He was simple man, a born sinner
A master of words, a deal spinner
But he was a model, a man to respect
His life was cut too short one day
By a man filled with fear and hate
If they were both alive here today
He would wipe the slate clean and pray
The good in his heart
Has lived on today
It shows when we show
Respect for each other
We hear of Equality, Peace, and Love
These can be all be linked
To that man who had a dream
To let freedom ring
His dream lives on today

Guilt is not your friend,
But is it…it depends
Guilt, the stink of sludge
And the color of mud
Guilt, the reminder of the past
Of harm and pain surpassed
Guilt, is the devil in disguise
Waiting for your soul to die
Guilt, is slime with all beauty aside
Covering your beaten hide
Guilt, keeps you in check
When you want to say what the heck…
Guilt, when you feel you should
But it is something understood
Guilt, partners with regret
Consequence’s with debt
Guilt, is like a death
It reminds you of the your dread
It hisses from the lips of those who are pure
It turns their gentle heart insecure
Guilt, it makes the stomach turn
When things are about to turn
Guilt is not your friend,
But is it…it depends
Karen Degnan Foiles, 22 stycznia 2013
I dreamed of your eyes
you looking at me
I dreamed of your smile
You said I was pretty
You cupping my cheek
Touching me gently
Tilting your head
Leaning in to kiss me
I was smiling in my sleep
My heart was warmed
I was helpless and weak
And then I awoke
Feeling empty and depleted
So sad I was with sleep in my eyes
Tears that followed
I pounded my fists with despise
It was bittersweet, my love
Cause you were “my” true love
But I am not yours
Karen Degnan Foiles, 22 stycznia 2013
God led us down this path
To learn from this journey
To open our eyes to the truth
To see our own short comings
Our time apart was not by chance
Time to mend our mind and souls
Our time apart was to ease the pain
Of the calming after the storm
Karen Degnan Foiles, 22 stycznia 2013
Love is good, love is kind
But love can be evil and blind
Love controlled my heart and mind
For so many years of my life
Made me ignore all the signs
Of the bad things that I did
And all the things I did not do
How many people I've left too
All the poems I've written
All the songs I've sung
Were a little bad birdie in my ear
Singing the wicked praises of love
My dependence of loves dread
Love led me astray to regrets
Of bad decisions and lies
Were just evidence of my demise
The neediness of acceptance
The craving of bonding
The wanting of touch
The patience of sex
Love injured my heart and
Shattered my trust
Made me question my very souls
Worthiness for happiness
Leaving me emotionally spent
And physically weak
Was I just trying to repair
The broken child within?
Karen Degnan Foiles, 20 listopada 2011
Sold is My Heart
I gathered the keepsakes
That used to be special
A box of mistakes
Lifeless, waiting to sell
Waiting for a new life to live
This love had worn out
Now a need to be without
Like an old pair of shoes
Cast aside soft and abused
This lifetime broken, shattered and destroyed
Broken dreams
Broken promises
Broken hearts
Broken house
Isn't it funny that's not how it all starts
@Karen Foiles
Karen Degnan Foiles, 20 listopada 2011
Please don't leave me without
I'm in this lost condition
I can't bear to be without
I give you total submission
Let me feel your fire
Igniting my every desire
Let me feel you hand
Up against my breasts
I want your soft kisses
Down my neck and back
Oh, how I'm missing that
Your wet mouth is what I lack
How I hunger for you back
Let me have your manliness
And let me give you all of me
We can be one feeling free
With our body's friction
I feel weak to ponder
The heat you squander
A tremble that is growing
My mind unknowing
If you leave as I slumber
My body can only lumber
And wait till you return
So please don't go, I beg and plead so
What ends do I have to go?
To make you want me so…
@Karen Foiles

I miss the pleasure you gave me
I miss the goose bumps
I miss how intoxicating you can be
I miss how my heart jumps
I miss the rush of your fire
I miss how you took me away
I miss how the people would admire
I miss the power play
Did I lose you, where did you go?
You were my one true love
That one thing I could always do right
But you went away my love
Please find me again, I so long for you
No one see's what you mean to me
I say you mean the world to me
But their world seems is all they see
You're in the pit of my heart
And in the depths of my soul
When I close my eyes and let out one note
My feet lift up and away I float
I'm scared to find you
All alone like before
I have a good love at home
So I don't want to explore
Please try and find me
Help me find a way to sing
But not just in the car
Help me to be free again

I’ve been doing some thinking
About this new life path I’ll be taking
It’ll be really scary not to have you by my side
When I’ve counted on you for so many things
I’m strong in spirit and will not give up and quit
I believe in my heart, that is just what you did you quit
I grew up in a house of love and hope
You grew up with common sense and dope
I am the dreamer, my eyes wide shut
You’re the controller, eyes on the buck
Our love was more than a whim
Yet we threw caution to the wind
We found the fantasy mirage
And thought we could beat the odds
Oh how we struggled just to be together
I guess you were tired of trying to love another
I never gave up on love, but I gave on you
I guess that why I did, what I did to you
You’ve done me a favor
My future I’ll savor
Because “Better off” I’ll be
To finally live my life
For “I” and not “We”

A storm is brewing
I can feel it in the air
A storm is brewing
And it’s filled with despair
A storm is brewing
I can feel it in my bones
A storm is brewing,
And I’m all alone
Something is coming
I hear the big drops
Something is coming
And I can’t stop it
The storm is near
This is clear
The storm is near
I’m filled with fear
The wind screams a cry
Chills run down my spine
The wind howls like pain
I try to escape the rain
2 days after I wrote this, my husband told me he did not love me anymore and wanted a divorce.
@ Karen Foiles
Karen Degnan Foiles, 7 listopada 2011
Your love for me has spared me
You gave me a second chance
My love for you was always strong
But I'm ashamed of how I yearned
A second chance to cherish you
When you were so ignored
A second chance to make things right
A bright new day, a new life
We fight for our love
We fight for our souls
We fight for a second chance
@Karen Foiles

I said prayer for you today
I hope you didn't mind
I asked God to comfort you
And put you tears behind
I prayed for peace and mercy too
To help you through these days
And for his loving guidance.
As he leads you on your way
You need not walk this path alone
Just turn around you’ll see
You have families and friends
To help make your pain ease
I prayed for miracles
And hope and happiness
And also asked to bless you...
When you are so stressed
I said prayer for you today
I hope you didn't mind
I just wanted to make sure
As I knelt down to pray
Please god, bless us America
