danika - Hello Poetry

I am facing grief I can see her standing not far off calmly waiting I won't look down or avert my gaze I dare her to look away first My teeth are clenched but I won't let her know And my fists may shake and my eyes may burn but I will stand my ground when she finally walks my way

Dreading Sunday -- and the blurry Monday after hit for hit and blow by blow one, two punch of a broken, shattered world I dread Sunday and though I be not superstitious I can't help feeling the notion of things in threes murders fires fill in the blank what will Sunday bring I dare not think

if there’s no such thing as luck, then how did I meet you at just the right time? My bad decisions were supposed to doom me I planned on dooming myself, if I’m honest but something stopped me and a month later I met you

my favorite picture of myself was taken in a redwood forest I stood next to a tree at the age of seventeen and the height of six feet and about 130 pounds and for once I felt short and not the giant myself

they always say it isn’t a competition but sometime it sure feels like it two people have broken up with their girlfriends to date me another one offered maybe these aren’t compliments, but I guess I’ll take them as such

You made me feel safe With your arms around me against the world But we aren’t meant to be against the world And you just can’t let me embrace it like I should So you stopped making me feel safe And became the enemy instead

Springsteen sang about glory days and I laughed and swore that wouldn’t be me. I looked around this small town at these large fishes and knew I’d find a bigger pond. But here I am holding up jerseys reading newspaper clippings looking at old pictures corsages valentine’s roses yearbook autographs picture day poses and can’t stop talking about glory days.
