my sheets know your secrets
my pillows, your thoughts
my blanket misses your warmth
and i,
i miss your touch
Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

Many would say
That I'm a fool
If I laid awake at night
And only thought of you

But what if these thoughts
Were not of love
And they were hate filled and murderous
Precisely planned, with a fitting glove

Would it be a waste
To plan such a thing
When it would take you away
Along with my pain and grief

So as I think of you now
The feelings come even stronger
I've seen the way it unfolds
And for you, it won't be much longer

From birth
Born so **** insecure
Not ever believing if love is real
Disregard if we'll ever be sure
Cause' humans were born to feel
And in the shadows there's a place for us
Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
I was the trust and patience
You were the confident ways
And sometimes we're missing
Lost under the waves
I know it's alright, we've been under pressure
I believe, we'll make it through together

An invader has infiltrated our homes.
it lurks about seeking prey as it roams.
It’s seeping through the cracks and crevasses
inflicting chills wherever it passes.
It viciously bites our fingers and toes.
invoking the sniffles and a runny nose.
we are immobilized by its frozen touch
and left shivering and without a crutch.
However we’re not going to be defeated,
We strategically stay warm and heated.
we are uniformed in our winter attire.
and have an abundant supply of wood for fire.
We equipped blankets in every space
and have a constant roar in our fireplace
We will battle the cold until its summer time,
where the hot weather will then commit the crime
with the scorching heat it will send its attack
then we will beg for the cold to come back

— The End —
