Japanese Being alone is pure bliss. At the end of my road is a fork you can't miss. The left takes you to pain. The right, happiness. I saved the best for last and this is it.
It's been a long time. You still look good. The house is still the same. The carpet still has that one juice stain And the picture frame still tilts at that weird angle I feel old. But i'm really just a part of the stupid youth Looking for something that is never found. How have you been? I really did miss you. I just had some growing up to do. The night is young But I'll sleep it's loneliness away Because tomorrow will really only be just another day Although for the first time in a while You'll be here so i'll wake with a smile.

Nice to See You Again.
Sarah grew up alone. With no siblings Distant parents And no one to call her own So she birthed a baby A beautiful baby With blue eyes And no regret to her name She grew up And despised her mother When she spoke "I hate you" Were the few words she choked out Sarah laughed A sad, self deprecating laugh And said, with a smile and half, "I had no one I was on my own So i decided to have you And raise you ti'll you were grown But you've come to resent me And i don't know why The child i birthed for love Was a waste of my time"

A Child Birthed for Love
Your face. The look on your face Is as if you bear the weight of the world On your dainty shoulders. What's wrong? This is me. Eternal bystander. I don't think anyone notices That i don't fit in Because the puzzle is solved And my piece was never attempted to be added. I feel it. But pain isn't a foreign concept to me. It's a lifestyle That dulls to indifference Because you start realize Why should i care When no one else does?

A Short Life Story
This is the beginning Where the words would go Where you'd realize this isn't half bad And start to pay attention To the words That were just filler before This is part is next Where it all starts to tie together A reference to the tittle Would be thrown in right now I don't know what to write As i'm typing this now Nothing comes This is the end.

This is the Title
Every heart has a path One on which it will get lost And very confused It'll get scratched by the thorns And cold from the strong wind But if you're one in a million And there are 7 million here There are 6 others like you And they're all lost too What is love? What's it about? Is it about security? Lust? Pity? Desire? I think it's something you don't know Until it finds you And then you still won't understand Because you'll be too busy being consumed by it And the lovely feelings will engulf your soul There's gotta be one person out there Who truly cares for me Even if they don't know just yet Because i can feel them weep when i'm hurt And laugh at my jokes that are never funny He holds me when i need someone strong And keeps me warm when i'm cold When the world turns it's back on me He grabs my hand And makes me touch the sky Just for a little So i can see the bright side He's not looking for me Nor am i for him But i see him in the twinkling of the distant city Just outside my nighttime window We'll live there together one day With beautiful babies That have beautiful smiles And eyes of diamond That's what love is To me.

The Wavering Words of A Blissful Heart
I want to let beautiful words Escape my lips And stick with your heart So you know my love Because to me it's quite clear And i know my heart beats for you But you can't hear it Although it's quite hard not to I've made myself now paper thin To match my heart Which is being torn apart So won't you take it And fill the spaces Maybe then ours will both beat At similar paces

Heartbeat
I am A swan Swimming in a ***** pond I'll never fly free Past the plushly leaved trees Just watch a beautiful reflection Die with a murky deception

Swan
I'd write a love poem But i don't have anything to say Because love left home And died during it's escape With no way of revival It never really felt safe In this house of games And frivolous ways You say i broke your heart in two Well, you shattered mine And refused to come help pick up the pieces Now, who needs more help? Me or you? Failure is my motivation But success is my greatest fear And the lies that are whispered Will always land in my ear So the pen shall rest silent And the paper will be blank You'll probably cry bitter tears I'll just laugh through my pain

The Not Love Poem
It rained on my birthday You would have known if you came Such a grim day But i couldn't complain The clouds in the sky looked especially gray So, i decided to run away And dispose of all of my pain on the way

Run Away
I don't have a beginning But i know the next part isn't it So listen to my words It'll only take a bit Now, i'll admit my life isn't that great Sometimes i gotta shake the Magic 8 Ball ti'll i get my ideal fate The future is blurry Misfortune waiting at the gate I just don't know how long it's gonna take For my life to tip off balance Because my perch is extremely precarious I'm at the penultimate stage and it's getting pretty dangerous Our lives have changed I won't say i'm still the same But please don't ever feel like you're the only one to blame
