For it's proper for a devoted poet to be moral himself, but in now way is it necessary for his poems to be
What if you're not ready? What if you don't want to be set? But you're supposed to be, So reluctantly you do it anyway But why? If it's not for you, then it's for them. Except, it's not Don't you get tired? Don't you just want to leave? Not because of anything they did The hurtful things they said, You're stronger than that Yet you still want to leave The worst feeling is you can't figure it out, why you want to go When everything in your life seems to be going perfectly But you're still not happy, And it's not your fault So why do I run, you ask? I seek perfection and nothing at the same time I just run because that's what I know I don't think I'm scared of anything And it's not because I don't love you I run away for me Me and only me I don't know if I'll ever stop I imagine it would be nice To let people back into my life again But I'm not ready for that yet You running along beside me does not bring me comfort Rather, it's the exact opposite I am the most okay with myself when I am unsure what is ahead Running, running, still running Everything I am, was, depended on, knew, loved, hoped for, dreamed All fading fast behind me And yet I keep running, All because I'm not ready, nor do I want to ever be set, I just wish to forget it all and you with it

Ready, set... Run
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) - E.E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in)
I understand you are trying, really I do it's not your fault though, it's mine right? I mean that's what I learned, you taught it to me remember? and now I am synonymous with ungratefulness, manipulation, betrayal I remember nights I was up well past my 8:00 bedtime too excited to eat too anxious to sleep I was happy because you were almost here my       Defender       Advocate       Dependable Devoted       Yes-man       finally come home... but you didn't you were here until you weren't you were on your way until you changed your course you wanted us until you didn't, but you were always right, always perfect and we were a game you liked to play until our batteries ran out now we are Disgusting, ripped Apart at our seams yearning to be Desired again in the midst of Divorce and You don't even notice us broken I am looking at you across the table both of us too busy assembling our internal defenses with what we stole from each other to reconcile And I, your suffering, shameful son, am tired.

Tired
I imagine you in your room crying, pacing, angrily talking to whoever will listen It's hard, I understand that But that doesn't change the way I feel I love you I think those are the only words I haven't said today And may never get the chance to again We're both mad, yet neither one us try to fix it So much animosity in one word on the screen: okay. please don't go, I need you But the message doesn't get there in time You hold the power button Slide your finger across the bar on the top of the screen And it ends. One year, seven weeks, three days And it's all gone in ten seconds

On the Power of technology
I've heard it said that on average, a person meets 3-4 people in his/her life who they just fit with even if it's impossible to describe why. Of those 3-4 people, 1-2 changes them for the better and introduces them to a whole other side of his/herself that the person never knew. Also, it physically hurts to leave 1 of those people and you can't get them off of your mind. You are all of these things to me. And I think I have found my 1. And I know it's forward, and I get it if I'm freaking you out right now. I know you may not feel the same way about me and that's completely fine. I had to let you know because it doesn't change if I keep this feeling locked up; it doesn't go away. I'm scared for the future. I don't know what it holds, and I don't know where it's going to take us. But what I do know is that I want you with me for as much of it as possible. I want you by my side. I want to see you as the mother of my children; which is another thing that has scared me. The thought of having kids has terrified me. But I'd love any number of children as long as you're mine. I know this very well could have scared you, and I know you may find me creepy now, but I just had to let you know: I'm in love with you. So much. In every single way.

Evening on the beach
I miss you so much though it's only been a day I miss your smile, I miss your warmth in every single way I know it's not easy to love someone like me But I thank God everyday it was you who accepted my plea I'm not used to all of the affection being given to me by you Because every other time there were feelings, people ultimately said adieu And everytime i pull you close I can never help but fear That the love I share smothers you so, it makes you disappear But with you I'm absolutely sure I am willing to take that chance Because you and me together makes for one terribly wonderful romance

Fallen
Boy: "This isn't my thing, it's not me, it never has been, and that was okay until now" Girl: "But what changed from then to now" Boy: "You did. You may have not meant to, you might not even have wanted to, but you sure as hell did it. You snuck your way into my life" Girl: "What's that supposed to mean?" Boy: "It means you're there. With me. Every minute in every part of it. You may not always be the forefront but you're there in some capacity, always on my mind." Girl: "But why are you trying this if it isn't you?" Boy: "Because it's you. And because it's you, I want it to be me. It may never be me, but it will always be you. And anything I can do to be close to you I'll do. Because it's no longer just me and no longer just you. It's we"
