This isn't much of a poem But it's been weeks since I've slept well Thoughts that crowd my mind at this hour To the outside, I can never tell I have a pain in my chest And I fear the uncertainty That if I fall asleep tonight Tomorrow, what would become of me? What if I don't wake up? Or what if I wake up alone? Can I really make this life work Without the person I call home? Stay, please.

I dont blame you For walking away Only now i realize The gravity of my mistakes I dont blame you For givin up on me I see now The person i used to be I wish you'd let me show you How sorry i really am I apologize, i apologize For not being the best that i can I wish i were the greatest Love story you could ever tell I wish i knew back then So i could have treated you well Coz you stuck by me You cried but you understood You were patient You did the best you could I dont blame you I know how much you hurt I wish you knew that i know Just how much you're really worth Baby you're not easy Easy to throw away Trust me, i know now Now that you're not here with me today How did you do it How did you stick around With a girl like me Far better you could have found Id like to say thank you Id like you to know How sorry i am I feel so low I shouldve treated you better I should have treated you right Kiss you every morning Hold your hand at night I wish you find better Better than i had to give I wish you all the happiness Even with this guilt i feel I should have been there I should have thought it through You should know baby I dont blame you

I Don't Blame You
I watched you dance around the floor With beads of sweat dripping from your face You had tears in your eyes It was perfect, you were perfect The place was packed with 800 people All of you prancing with emotion But i could only see their shadows Because i couldn't get my eyes off of you Every move you made was ******** You spun around, you arched your back You stared across the room and into the spotlight As if you were a slave seducing your master You had your green shirt on That hugged your body so well And I blushed as i gazed at your perfection The moment the music stopped playing You looked up at me and smiled You waved and you started to walk towards me You were saying something but I couldn't hear you I replied but I couldn't hear myself either I didn't know what we were saying I watched you walk away to join the second round of rehearsals You were set to perform that evening, I couldn't wait I could have watched you all day I would see you up on stage and I'd be proud as others see how amazing you are I doubt you know that I think you're perfect And by perfect I mean beautifully flawed You held my hand before but I never told you it made me wonder If you did it because you wanted to or because it was cold I planned to wear my white dress for you, the one with the lace and all And I planned to hand you a bouquet of flowers, but not roses Red tulips and yellow chrysanthemums, probably Or better yet hydrangeas. I don't know. I was hoping that after I slipped in my white dress And after I bought you the flowers And after you danced And after they saw how amazing you are And after I handed you the flowers That maybe we can spend some time together and maybe you can hold my hand again I hope it won't be cold so I wouldn't have to wonder, either And maybe this time when you look at me, you wouldn't look away But instead press your lips against mine What I hoped for the most was that I wouldn't wake up Because if I did, I'd have to dream this dream again till I get the ending I hoped for I don't mind seeing you every night, having all this happen again But I can't wait for the night when I'd find out how it ends

I dreamt of you

Such a sweetie you truly are The sweetest among the sweetest by far I wonder why your words have such a sad tone Though i may be wrong, can't really tell through the phone. I'm feeling quite lonely, i wonder if you can tell I try to remind myself of your words that all will be well I'm not sure what I'm doing, what my priorities are, From friends to family, from coffee shops to bars. Thank you for being patient, for waiting it out You give me so much support especially now that I'm in doubt I hope i'd stop crying inside and just know what I need Whatever happens, stick around, I plead.

For the one who keeps on trying for me..
I'm scared shitless that you'd find out but you should know that you're on my mind constantly.

Constantly
I rather be the one with no love to give Well at least for now, that’s my stand Because everyone knows that when you feel deeply, Control is no longer in your hands. I rather be the one with love to receive Because if that were my place now, I wouldn’t be sitting here alone Thinking of a way to get to you somehow. I rather be where you are, I rather see you how you see me, Because if I were to turn the tables, I can go on life letting you be. I rather it were that simple, How I wish I knew how To just not care what youre thinking Or with whom and where you are now. But I also rather I had the right to be with you Everywhere you go, I rather you ask me to be with you, I rather I had the right to know. I rather you cared more, I guess, Because, honestly, I took a leap for you. I crashed hard but you gave me some rope, What’s a girl to do? I knew I shouldn’t have given it a second thought, From the start I knew it meant nothing at all, Despite of what I knew, I still let myself fall. You can't blame me for trying But I guess I know my place now You do it so well, I don’t know what exactly, Go ahead take your bow. It’s not your fault, Not at all, From the start I never should have let you break down my wall. But look at us now I’ve decided to look away I don’t have the right but it hurts When you wouldn’t mean the words I want you to say. I rather you were here, Even if you weren’t here for me But I rather you were here for me. I rather you were here for me.

You’re my number one You’re my one and only Yes, the only one I want home waiting for me I can’t tell what’ll happen If our feelings change In one way or the other Id love you just the same Ill spend my very last dime For now, its all for you And if it reaches forever Well, who knew I'd fall so deep in love I can’t get you off my mind You’re my first priority Any day, any time We’re halfway there We’ve made a mark It’s been 6 months You still feel that spark? Coz it’s been 26 weeks, Around 182 days, That’s roughly around 4, 368 hours And countless number of ways That you’ve given me happiness With your every kiss and hug, It’s like the fourth of July in me I’ve got a bad case of the love bug So yes, you make me gay With you, I’m ecstatic You already know I’m so uncool And such a hopeless romantic So let’s just keep going I’d like to know you more I’ll study your very being And still love you till your very core So I’m sorry, babe If I ask for forever I know it’s all uncertain But never say never Happy 6th month And thank you for teaching me To stay strong And wear my heart on my sleeve

I talk words of lust with a boy unaware I know not if it's unjust if he knew that i would dare To be touching lips with another and another after that 3 boys who want me and on top of that... an ex-lover who awaits her love to be reciprocated by one she had wronged by me, yes, I she has wronged. and alas, the sister of a friend whom i am confused upon if i should love her or not fool, you may think that she is the last one another girl at school she is but a year older i see her from time to time rarely i seek for her she is but a crush the sister, but a dream the ex-lover - such a waste and though it may seem that i am an adultress because of all these men but judge me not i don't belong to any of them commit, you say it is for the best but if i do so again i may have to rip out my chest it hurts beyond words and the pain - i may not be able to bare and i'd have to swallow the hurt again till i am too numb to give a care so tell me, kind stranger, what would you do? if you had 3 boys and 1 girl loving you another girl, you might love and another girl, as a crush don't you think it's a tad bit too much? though, i can't control it I need to be reassured that though my love betrayed me this broken vessel be cured by something more real it has to exist something i wont be afraid to love something far greater than a kiss something others cant take from me something thats just mine something that i can have and keep for all time so tell me, kind stranger, do you take me for a fool? you think i don't know that such thing is hard to find? that it is but impossible because i am still so blind i'll find my happiness i pray to the gods i do but only once i stop thinking of finding it is when id find you you. whom i have poured my heart and soul out to without giving a rat's *** one i'm not afraid of - i'm afraid of everything. you, who is not wearing a mask. if you tell me that you're right there id lose all faith in man kind because i know you're not i know that now. if you tell me you wont hurt me don't say another word because i know you will hurt me i know that now. but i can love myself i can live for myself, too i know that now i don't exactly have to live for you. it is my life this is my world but i'm lonely because i'm too scared to be that broken hearted girl the one who cried the one who swore and hit her lover and walked out the door even if i could i wouldn't change a thing because through this mangled heart i can love true again someday..

Am I the only one who has ever thought Of tying a cherry stem into a knot? Of flying high beyond the starry skies? If I said “yes” then that would be a lie. Am I the only one who has ever kissed The surface of my curious bestfriend’s lips? Or has had a hard time winking just one eye? If I said “yes” then that would be a lie. Oh, I know I’m not that special, I’d be a fool to think to myself That if I asked you to stay a while, There’d be a chance that you’d say “yes” But would you please hold my hand? Would you have me just how I am? What if I stayed with you all day so you can tell me about the one you love? You think at the end, I’d deserve a hug? Am I the only one who has ever thought Of planting trees with you on a vacant lot? Of painting something that you’d appreciate? Yes, I know that I’m now too late. Am I the only one who has ever wondered If maybe I could be that one first kiss? Am I the only one who’s dreamt? Am I the only one who’s wished? Am I the only one who’s cursed At the whole entire universe Coz’ just when I thought that I could be the one, She got there first. Oh I know I’m not that special I’d be a fool to think to myself That if I asked you to be mine, There’d be a chance that you’d say “yes” Coz’ I’m not the only one.

I'm Not The Only One
Sweet laughter Those honest smiles Pure joy Comes only from a child Starting off With those innocent eyes But as they grow, They see then all the lies I would love to call one my own I would love to make them happy But in this world full of the unknown We have to be wise. And once they grow, They acquire much hate What would they go to church for Out of fear or their faith? I know you try But you can’t shield them from hurt I know you try Coz you know what their worth A little baby, that’s all they’ll ever be to you You made a promise, you made sure to follow through Lead them to a place where they are safe Guide them to happiness, with all that you gave I would love to call one my own I would love to make them happy But in this world full of the unknown We have to be wise
