**They hear the crescendos,
All the highs and the lows,
Never do they notice
*That I–
Am a soulless piece of music.*
The hurt, and the dirt
On my feet and my shirt.
Never do they notice,
*It ends–
Even before it all begins.*

**Tired!
I yawn,
you pay
no attention–
none at all;
a day’s work
wasted.

Still deciding:
*Was I lucky
or unlucky?*
To have met you!

I do not share it here
I think it's only fair

Thanks for the compliments.
They mean a lot, I’m serious!
I don’t know,
no one does,
but when words flow
they are on their own
I just watch them go!

If I can give you wings, I will.
And then selflessly become
the wind beneath your wings.*

No you haven't read it correctly
No, I'm not the one in love
I will not fall for
such a poorly constructed
trap
No you haven't read it correctly
No, I'm not the one in love!
The beauty she holds
might just be attracting
a whole lot of people, not me
No you haven't read it correctly
No, I'm not the one in love!
A few people just fell,
couldn't keep their eyes
off of her face
No you haven't read it correctly
No, I'm not the one in love!
Ever admiring and complimenting
her looks, her glamour.
None left untouched.
No you haven't read it correctly
No, I'm not the one in love!
All I admire about a person:
the heart; the soul.
As she has it all, so
***Yes you have read it correctly
Yes, I'm in love!***

Burning me up,
wishing for me
to vanish into
thin air.
No, that will
not happen.
I'll write
till my hand
starts to bleed
and then those
bloodied words
fall under your gaze.
You'll read and know
my love for writing.
You'll read and know
I take it seriously.
For I was, I am and
will always be
a writer.
