I look forward to nostalgia twice as much as forgetting.
I forget.

To Her

For Her my heart feels
With Her my heart heals
The pains washed away
Leaving my horrid past to decay

With Her I feel alive
For Her I will strive
But I am still

Waiting

For Her to arrive

My state of mind is disastrous
My words are jumbled and blasphemous
When I speak it's a catastrophe
I'm lost in this reality

My mind is in constant motion
To these poems, my fullest devotion
To share who I am inside
With my mind opened wide

These words just don't make sense
These thoughts I must condense
My mind is a bomb, so confused
With each rhyme it will slowly defuse

I must pour who I am into these words
My troubles will divide by thirds
I need to sort these thoughts out
Before I forget what my message was orginally about
So much on my mind.

As i sit back and watch the openly wounded come back from the war of speaking to you, it makes the burning hunger in my heart more passionately unbearable. For a fleeting instant I was your's, and, for an even briefer moment you were mine. But you had an unendurable curious spirit that even i couldn't manage to capture the attention of for more than a rapid second. And that was tiringly back-breaking, so I stopped striving to be that one singular girl whom you kept around for a time. I stopped glancing around to survey if you were around when i was about to do something noteworthy. I stopped trying to keep the conversation going if it was veering towards a dead-end. I even stopped wearing my hair precisely the way you like it. But that undoubtedly didn't mean I still didn't thirst for your presence. That didn't mean I could deliberate with you about the very person i loved. In as much as, as laborious as this was to confess to you, I am still insanely in love with you.
i love the smell
of a cool crisp morning,
when the rains have fallen
and the cracks in the pavement
are still wet,
and the trees
wave silently in the gentle breeze,
as the birds flit among the branches.
I don't expect you to understand
Is possibly the biggest lie anyone could conjure
Do not belittle me
Or what I feel
And never breathe those wretched words
Be wary what they can do
Don't spit them at me
I'm trying to help
And that's more than I should do for you

My poems are the life of me
They are who I choose to be
and if you read them you will find
the keyhole view into my mind

You will be lost in rhymes
hearing the ticking and chimes
of my life translated into word
with nothing obscure or blurred

You will see my imagination
overworked with frustration
It's an art of the mind
Twisting and unraveling refined

If you read enough of them
You will find the gem
That will tie them all you see
At that moment, you will know I better than me.

The darkness my home
It's the place I roam
It's nothing new to me
It's something I always see

The darkness in my mind
to the world I'm blind
I'm in a bind
My life to it I signed

Then she appeared
She the Darkness feared
She knelt down to me
and spoke so softly

'Come out of the Dark'
Her lips on my cheek left a mark
My heart jumped and burned like fire
The light around her grew higher

I shut my eyes to the burning rays
I'm not used to the goodness it portrays
Then I open my eyes after awhile
My world wrapped in light, I see her smile

I blink hard to see if this is reality
then I realize this is where I'm meant to be
To the one who can do this.

I'm cold
I'm weak
I'm alone
I'm sad
You're **perfect
When you hit the bottom, most everyone seems so perfect.

You say you are only ok
Here now and the next day
You should listen to what I have to say
So that you don't get lost in your own fray

I will change your mind
The right words I have to find
So that you can see
the happiest you can be

Doing what I can from afar
Leave your mind ajar
Your voice tells me everything
trapped to the ground with a clipped wing

Give me a chance to show you
What I can do
If you give me a smile

You will see, you can be happy even if it's only once  in  *awhile.
For someone in the distance.
