American I love poetry, and I love when people tell me what I do well or what I need to fix or how I can make my writing better.
Don’t rejoice too soon. i wanted to describe to You my death, but it was all in vain. our terror could no longer be contained. what did it matter, our minds numb with indifference, i listened as the voice rose, powerful yet broken amid the weeps, the sobs, the sighing, pausing, as though the strength to uncover the melody was stifled in his throat. what did it matter, the night was growing longer, never-ending, no need of sick, no need, no need of me, i’m getting weak, my strength is gone, i won’t make it. don’t give in, You must resist, don’t lose Your faith, today is little paradise, You at least have pity on me. the sighing of the entire congregation, “all earth and universe are God’s!”

Into the Night
Ignore my requests instead of tempting my heart with your happiness.

(Con)tempting
From whence do you derive your power, you mysterious luminary? You impede my thoughts leave me gasping for your attention affection lust. I'm too far gone to resist your touch. Your selfishness owns me. Your devious smile beckons, and though I turn towards the door. I can't go. Love.

Queiro amarte
How is it that every time I'm finally at peace whether I'm sitting in my room or alone at the beach when all that's on my mind is nothing and my heart beats slowly You You enter my mind It's like you know that I'm...I'm... (well there's nothing else to describe it) Happy And you know what that makes me? MAD

(I was to tired to think of another adjective to describe why you make me) Mad
I thought we were perfect It was more like having a best friend I saw you every day Our conversations had no end But lately when I smile You turn away I just don't get the feeling we're okay I don't want to be selfish But I have to know that you still want me We used to laugh for hours Other times you'd bring me flowers We were just two kids Slowly falling in love When you kissed me I felt power Full of joy and happiness I know we fought be I never wished for all of this

ive held back the tears for so long i didnt cry when he quit or when my dreams were crushed year after year after year i didn't wail when i ached or when i let myself down i didnt ask for pity or have others mend my mistakes i just put on a different face and made it through one more day i worked hard without thank yous and did as i was told so when is it my time to finally show my feelings to be held when i weep to tell someone whats going wrong how it changed all of me and why i didnt stop it is it ever mine?

My Turn?
I don't think that we'd ever talked before And I think you took advantage of that You've got good looks And I think that you blinded my conscious We only talked over the phone And I think that made it easier for you to leave I opened up my heart And I think you don't understand how hard that is I wanted you to call And I think you didn't realize that You stopped talking to me And I think you overlooked my pain You went for my friend And I think it hurt me You told her about us and how we were "No big deal" And I think I thought I felt differently I heard you're going out And I know it makes me want to cry

And I Think You
Right now I'm not very old but this has been going on since I was 12 I fell for you before I even realized it and now every time I see you my heart bursts I know I try to play it cool, but if my parents weren’t around I would tell you how I really feel and I know that if you loved me too you would wait until we can be alone My worst fear is that you will stop loving me and I’ll be left here still wanting you and when I think about that I feel sick and I know that I’m still a child and this probably isn’t true love but it’s the closest thing that I have right now and I even think about marrying you sometimes every time I see you you take my breath away but at the same time I can still have real conversations with you And when you are with other people it takes every ounce of my body not to run and be right next to you and steal you away from them I know you think I hate it when you poke me but I love the fact that you touch me and then when i pull your hand from my side just for a second you’re holding my hand and I just wish that the world would pause, and stop spinning so we could stay in that moment for just a little longer but you just keep walking and leave me standing there alone, by myself acting like a little child I hate every time that I see that you’re in a relationship but you still act just like I’m still yours Because I want to be the only thing that you want and have and need My friends have never met you and that’s probably for the better because I can keep you a secret my treasure only my friends all think that I’m exaggerating but the truth is I tell them every thing that happens no lie because that’s just what we have a relationship that doesn’t need to be some large hyperbole and that is just alright with me

as the world sees it it is nothing but dirt brown and cracked after a harsh winter without the sun as the world sees it it is nothing but water plain and flavorless a last resort drink as the world sees it it is nothing but a seed food for the birds easily mistaken for a pebble as the world sees it it is nothing but a mess of roots thinly stretched out and effortlessly pulled away as the world sees it it is nothing but weak trample with slim chances of succeeding but as i see it it is soil rich with nourishment able to sustain life and as i see it it is vital something that fuels and saves and quenches those who thirst and as i see it it is life itself together in one prepared to grow and as i see it it is the base what keeps us grounded and pulls us back to earth and as i see it it is a flower standing tall and proud informing us spring is back
