I saw the green leaves.
I felt the sun blanket me.
I heard the sound of your voice;
But Summer must always turn to Fall.

I heard the bird sing their songs;
As we talked with enthusiasm in our voices;
Watching the sun wake up to warm the town.
But the sun must always set.

The stars shine bright,
The moon is pure and true,
The night sky is so beautiful;
But the sun must always rise.

Her eyes like a pond in the fall,
Shining bright green with golden flakes of sunlight.
I thought she would be there for me;
But Summer will always turn to Fall.

My only inspiration--
it’s you.
My best friend--
it’s you.
My silver lining--
it’s you
you’re like honey to a bee
     or bark to a tree
You’re every color in the rainbow
You’re the rain that makes things grow
You’re every word to my poem
Even the ones that never rhyme
You're every work of art
And every drop of blood in my heart.

The rain, falling softly on her skin
The pain, entering her lonely soul
Dark and gloomy, falling down a hole
In love, a tragic tale
Everything, smoke, mirrors, and blackmail
First, everything was fine
Living on cloud nine
One drunken night is all it takes
He made a few too many mistakes
She stayed, followed his commands
“Don’t you ******* tell” he demands
A painful strike across the face
She was a disgrace

Afraid to believe, afraid to confess
She was an angel in distress
All she needed was a knight
Too bad no one was in sight
A beautiful girl, everyone loved her
A sinister man, he was a saboteur
She wanted to leave him, to get out of there
All she needed was a sinner’s prayer
Too bad no one was in sight

I just wanted to lend a helping hand
To be the one there;
When you needed someone.
You went and broke my heart into two;
Like a piece of oak under an axe.
You let me go;
Like a child does a balloon.
Yet, I was always there;
Even though you were nowhere in sight. 
I gave you my loving arms;
Yet you rejected them.
I was a crying newborn;
You were an ungrateful mother.
I was vulnerable;
You took advantage.
However, I will always love you;
No matter how much you hurt me.
My heart is made of glass;
Yours of steel.

She is the answer to all my problems
The creation of all my happiness
She’s the love inside my heart
and my reason for waking
She’s like a rainbow--
Everything is more colorful when she’s near.

She’s a wildflower in a field of weeds,
A burst of color in a dreary world.
She’s a clear spring day,
Warming my heart and filling me with joy.
Her voice like the gentle breeze,
Music to my ear--
She’s my favorite song.

He’s a stain on an expensive rug,
One you can’t get out.
He’s a flea to a dog,
One that won’t go away.
He’s a minor note in her song.
A note that only preaches hate.
He’s like a virus--
Only doing harm

I lift her up to the heavens
He drags her down to hell
I’m a ray of sunshine
While he’s a nimbus cloud
I could confess how I feel
but in the end--
He’s the one she loves.
