American I am a poet, tho I do not know it.
Can you read this? Can you see me. I feel like I have not been seen In a decade. My thoughts fly Like a pen on paper I love you But those words Are trapped in my throat Just let me be kinda to you Spend time with you So I have a memory To look back on

One in the hand is better than two in the bush What?! One in the hand… Louder! A sure thing is better than a bet. Yes. But how do you ever feel alive? You don’t. Its an investment. It’ll pay off when your 80. Its bonds verses the stock market Sort of, its more valuable. Its your heart. And last time you were in charge you were rather Careless But I’m fun. We were shattered on the ground. And you want to make the stakes higher So the return will be large! Or we will lose everything.

Betting.
With my hand on the trigger And my eye on the die. Lets play this f'in game You be the star. And I'll say the name. Whatever makes me strong, I will live on I will never move on, I will never love another [like you]

One day the truth will be told, In the blood ally, As it always has been, Where day and night will have no friend. To the end they sing, That death is just the thing, To push two love birds into the nest, To give love its very last breath. For commitment is just the thing, That despite the words we say, Love will rue the day we meet. For fear was in the mind And love on the fly, To catch the nearest eye For soon we will all die. So admit the love you have, For the time we have is short, Is it true or is it false? To say it on the tip of the tongue, Its like a yip, or a yell. Come out, in full force, And say today, that all I fear for: Love, life and misery have come true.

Love will rue the day we met
I can't go backward. So I must go forward. I see nothing outstandingly exciting. Last year was a blissful time. Is that because I was ignorant? Ignorant of what could be? Ignorant of what I could lose? Ignorant of what I could gain? Now I think: This, This is what’s meant to be. Come at me like a roaring lion, I can take you.

Catch 22
Welcome to my little bit of heaven There are spots and decays Welcome to my little bit of heaven I hope your're here stay. The traffic here has been in the negative persuasion, See more people leave then stay. Welcome to my little bit of heaven, Oh, hi grim, Who are you stealing next? From my little bit o heaven?

My plot of ground
My eraser has worn out ages ago. I'm half way through the book. But no matter what happens I keep writing down. The pages of my life are filling up fast. You may have a chapter, you may not.

Life
It hurts as bad as it did back then, back when we used to play And I wrote about my ways Stanzas and lines composed how I felt But even that has failed me now As I sit beside myself, I long for you Because all I am, longs for you And all I do is suffer My emotions all over the place like I'm 16 And no one in a decade has ever made me Feel the way I feel, for you

Forget me not As the sun sets And I grasp your hand tighter Remember me forever and ever As the water carves out Two separate rives Diverging into two tributaries That we were once one And we have grown Into something better Than that of what we once were And you will become something great Of that which we write poems about.

Humming
So here it goes again. Like a bad nightmare My body is longing Anxious In so many ways I've cried twice in the past Ten times more for you Because I know what I want And what I will do are different I am a responsible adult Void of emotions Full of logic. He's... Perfect. You are flawed. You reach out and All I feel are emotions Crippling emotions Anxiety about my Craving for your touch Wanting to love you Heal you He is flawless In everyway my compliment Except I can not reciprocate His undying devotion What is wrong with me? Feels like a choice between My best friend and my heart
