A piece of you
Reflecting back
The bitter words in your mouth
Too raw to speak
A poet is
Someone in pain
And someone in love
Someone who looks at the world
Through a kaleidoscope
Who takes a magnifying glass to each
And every
Word you say
And lets them imprint on their heart
A poet is
A star gazer
A dreamer
A chaser of
The improbable
But hopes anyway
A poet is
Tissue paper skin
A heart of glass
And a soul of titanium
A poet is
A sharp tongue
And a gentle kiss
She is a sob
He is a sigh
A poet is
The sun at midnight
Bright and
Burning
Hot
Alive
But cloaked in a darkness
They cannot shake
The brightest day
And the darkest night
A poet is
The human experience
A paradox
An oxymoron
So complicatedly
Simple
A poet is
A lover
Who refuses
To stop wearing their heart on their sleeve
No matter how much it bleeds
But rolls them up
So you can’t see
The blood stains
A poet
Is Poetry

My hair is turning gray.
yet still I have to say
I'll love you always.
All of the nights I've danced with you
in my eyes you'll see it's true.
You are everywhere
and even in my dreams I'll see you there.
We've never been seperated
because I would be devastated.
I promise you I will always stay.
Never will I keep you at bay.
You're my life for all of my days.

I'm not lying.
When I'm dying
loving you will be
flashing through my mind.
All of our time together
will be of utmost importance ever.
All of my memories will spill over
like a flood gate.
Knowing what's at stake
I wouldn't change it.
Our love will be for all time.
Don't worry, it'll all be fine.
My heart I leave behind.

Why am I lonely in a crowd?
The crowds are so loud.
When I speak
my knowledge they don't seek.
Am I not seen
in the crowds I've been?
I makes me feel depressed
to be so repressed.
Listen to me, I'm talking to you!
Where is reciprication from you?
Do my words just float in space?
Can't you keep up the pace?
Is arrogance your flaw?
Is that why you don't let me talk?

You betrayed my trust.
This much I must say
our relationship didn't turn out the way
I planned it to be.
Your lack of character shocked me.
It's my fault for falling for you
without my eyes wide open to the truth.
When I saw something that wasn't there
I should have went somewhere
far away from you.
Not only did you take my trust in you
but you left my innocence forever blue.

They took me into a bar.
They started CPR.
They thought I was dead.
My heart started beating instead.
In the hospital, I awoke.
They said I had Heat Stroke.
Now I'm not afraid to die.
There I'll be looking down from the sky.
I'll be your silend angel guarding you from danger.
No, I won't be a stranger.
The wind will brush by and you'll feel me nearby.

All of the times you drank whiskey and beer
I became a target as you grew angrier.
With each hour that passed
I knew what my fate would be at last.
You didn't allow me to wear make-up.
Perhaps you was afraid we would break up.
My clothing had to be loose-fitting
or you would take your knife and slit them.
You had to be in control of everything
or you would beat me like I wasn't worth anything.
It took all of my courage to runaway
but I'm free from fear today.

I've cried a river.
It must reach far and wide
because I lost the one I loved.
The tears flow from my eyes
every time I think of you.
You took it the wrong way
when you saw me driving that day.
Just because he was in the car
it didn't mean that it went that far.
The two of you just pushed and shoved.
In the end nobody won.
I've cried a river.
It must reach far and wide
because I lost the one I loved.
The tears flow from my eyes
every time I think of you.

So many unspoken words,
the silent moments together
are what I seem to remember.
The dark still of the night
makes me wish with all of my might
that you hadn't taken flight.
It was too late when you came back.
I had already grieved
as deeply as a broken heart could.
The memories then of us are seen
like flashes on a movie screen.
Am I destined to come unraveled
from this lonely road I've traveled?

When I couldn't see beyond this world,
when I was falling down the black hole
I called out your name and you came.
You are greater than any black crater.
The depth of your love and grace fills my soul.
Your mercy abounds and your armor surrounds me.
My prayers are heard.
Thank God for the word.
