Please break my heart
So I don't have to break yours
I'd rather feel all that pain
Than be the one to make you endure

Please break my heart
So I can leave yours intact
I'd rather be haunted
Than have to hear you react

Please break my heart
So I can live with my decision
I'd rather lose all my tears
Than have tears disrupt your vision

Please break my heart
So I'm not the one serving time
Id rather feel completely caged
Than be the one to commit this crime

Please break my heart
So I can make sure you're OK
I'd rather lose my voice
Than listen to all you might say

This request might seem odd
I ask for you to do the downing
But if we're both stuck in this storm together
I'd rather be the one drowning

What
if
I
was
just

























Gone?

When will it stop?
This pain i feel deep inside me.
My one any only
Turned out nothing like it should be.

I waited for him
And i gave him my heart.
I trusted him with my innocence
And he tore me apart.

Unanswered questions
The lies I won't forget.
Should I have forgiven him?
How long will i feel regret?

How can I have faith?
Will I ever trust again?
Why do I still feel plain
And he already had another woman.

My thoughts alway about him.
Can't get her off my mind.
How could she be so cruel
When I was so kind.

I made him my whole world
And now all I feel is alone.
Have I lost my chance at love?
Has my hurt turned to stone?

When you ask him
Whether he will love you forever
Notice
If he said
'I love you, always'
Immediately
Or after a while of thinking 

Because
A true love
Would search deep inside his soul for the truth, and say those
Lasting words

But if not
He will casually sing
Those words of emptiness
With no thought

Unless he is a man so true
He has thought of it through and through
And raked through his soul for eternity
And has already had the answer
Flaming through his heart
When you asked him.

i say goodnight to you,
amidst the dark blue,
isolated and ivory.

i wish you were concrete
you have no heartbeat
at least you cannot hurt me

By any normally accepted standard
three words are scarcely sufficient
to be considered a poem.
The Japanese, who have a gift for conciseness,
might be sympathetic.
(Haiku, after all,
    at seventeen syllables,
       are pretty compact.)
But three words! It's not so much concise as,
to put it bluntly, short.
If I say that, when I try to write a poem for you,
"I love you" is all I can think of,
that is no excuse.
And the fact that my meaning is new and unique
(for me and for you)
makes no difference either.
If only there were some way out of my difficulty.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
There, that's nine words.
Will that do?

Men write ****** odes
Which is only a painful reminder
