Where the ocean meets the sky
And the land meets the sea
Where the waves say goodbye
And you are there with me

Where you are no longer shy
And happy you will be
Where moon and stars fly
And we sit under the tree

Where you always catch my eye
And are the only thing I see
Where I will never ever cry
And you will set me free

These villains in my mind
Are plotting my demise
Thoughts all intertwined
And only filled with lies

They want my life to end
And sometimes so do I
So desperate for a friend
Just to look me in the eye

And tell me that they care
That life is still worth living
So long as they are there

Thinking is an dangerous pastime
It can make you extend past time
And make you think of all those times
When you messed up so so many times

I want to cry
Into your arms
To feel your breath
On my neck
To hear your voice
Say it's alright
To feel your lips
So close to mine
And then I know
I'll be just fine

I feel my mind spinning
Like wheels on a car
Always ever moving
But staying where they are

I gave you a hammer
And gave you my heart
I told you to break it
Completely apart

You told me no
You'll love me instead
I started to cry
And you held my head

You made me feel safe
From the demons inside
I gave you my heart
You gave me yours to hide

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
By your side I'll stay
And lay right next to you

I will do my best
To help you make it through
Then I will help you with the rest
For you need to know what is true

And what I know is true
Is that I love you

Time is but a thought
It is but a figment
But can not be bought
If only it could be sent

I would trade it all away
To be more than friends
I know you don't feel that way
If I could only make amends

But life goes on and on
Yet my heart stays here for you
I will cry when you are gone
If only you knew

Why must I feel so low
You make my day grow bright
Always make me glow
Whenever you're in my sight

I know it will never be
I have to let it rest
If only you could see
Being together would be for the best

I can not stop this love
I feel inside my heart
Though you do not love
Me back in any way
But I know you are the one
I want to spend my life
Giving all my love

I have a confession
I don't mind depression
It helped me make friends
But what if it ends
Would they ever stay
Even for one day
Maybe they would
No reason they should
I am worthless
Couldn't be less
My pain is unbearable
Chains so unwearable
My mind is my prison
By my own decision
Locked myself inside
Don't let me outside
I will destroy you
Though I don't mean to
My issues are contagious
Loving me is outrageous
So do yourself a favor
And make yourself a hater
Throw away the key
Before you can see
The monster that is hidden
I horse never to be ridden
Please just keep me caged
Never to be engaged

Tis a life of many agonies
Filled with constant tragedies
Subject to such brutalities
And reaching our capacities
We seek some new realities
Then flee into our fantasies
To avoid our own mortalities

Love is more than a feeling
It is more than an attraction
Love is seeing someone's flaws
It is seeing but ignoring
Love is wanting to never be apart
It is wanting what is best for them
Love is always a selfless act
It is always true and right
People try and distort it
But love stays the same

I hear her voice inside my head
Playing back the things she's said
I feel her beat inside my heart
She has taken up every part
I see her smile when I close my eyes
I remember and part of me dies
She doesn't love me like I do
That is a fact I know its true
But I still can't get her out of my head
It makes me wish that I was dead

Sadness to joy is a road to be taken
Not just a move to a new destination

You can not go straight from sadness to joy
You must make a path and habits destroy

But it is the simplest path we all are after
And the simplest path to joy is laughter

I am falling
             falling
                  falling
                  
Falling out of touch
     Falling into my bed
          Falling in my mind
               Falling out of style
                    Falling into your arms
                         Falling in love

I want to help you
But you don't want my help
You just want to live
In all of your pain
I can understand that
But you would never know
Because you'll never talk

I'm a coward by nature
And I feel no shame
I treat others as greaters
They say I'm not sane
I do what you tell me
And I take all the blame
I will give you my all
Even if I am lame
You can take all I have
And I'll love you the same
I will give you my heart
While you give it pain

You are the poem of my heart
The hope that I am living by
I die inside when we're apart
But by your side I can not cry

You are the breath inside my lungs
The air that keeps me alive
You are the food that sustains me
Just you smile can fill me

So matter what you say or do
I will always end up loving you

I can't help but feel
My opinion doesn't matter
Though they say it does
I never get my way
Even if they ask me
I guess I just don't matter
Or at least what I say

Your words are like silk
No matter what they are
Softer than a quilt
Could heal any scar

Your smile is a lantern
In my darkest night
In my mind you burn
All that's in my sight

Your presence is a gift
It makes my day much better
Without I feel a rift
To you I am a debter

Your eyes are like jewels
Priceless beyond compare
I would break all the rules
So into them I'd stare

Your lips are like a rose
I can't resist the lure
Oh the way it glows
Something oh so pure

Do they even care?
Would they ever notice?
Would they even cry?
Did they ever know us?

No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I always feel this way
I know my death is due

I can talk and talk
And say that I'm alright
But I'm a ticking clock
Waiting to say goodnight

But nobody ever cares
About how I truly feel
About the little tears
That will never heal

So just sit back and watch
As I slowly fade away
I can almost even touch
That close and fateful day

The pain I feel every day from losing you pales in comparison to the joy I felt the moment you were mine to lose.

You cannot live without dreaming
but dreaming is not living

I am feeling lonely
Without you by my side
You make me feel so lovely
When in your arms I hide

I wish I was next to you
Because you are feeling sad
I would tell you what is true
So much joy to be had

I hate you see you cry
It scares me half to death
When you want to die
It takes away my breath

I can only try
To become better
I can only try
To get over you
I can only try
To be worthy
I can only try
To believe in me
I can only try
To forgive myself
I can only try
To care for me
I can only try
To love myself
I can only try

It's not that I never loved you
Your love just outgrew my own
It's not that I never tried to
I tried so hard I broke apart
It's not that I wanted better
I knew you deserved better
It's not that I wanted to leave
You are better off without me

I deserve to die
With every breath I take
I deserve to die
For every word I say
I deserve to die
With every thought I make
I deserve to die
For all I that I take

My broken heart
Still beats for you
I'll play the part
A lovestruck fool

I have sadness on the inside
But joy on the outside
I like to hide my feelings
But they always show their face
I wonder if I could feel
What it would be like
To be happy even just one time

Just let me be alone
I don't need you now
Ready to be on my own
I don't want you now

Just let me be myself
I don't need you now
Ready to decide myself
I don't want you now

Please just let me be
I don't need you, you see

Always the lover
Never the loved

Always the listener
Never the heard

Always the giver
Never the receiver

Always the healer
Never the healed

Always the helper
Never the helped

Always the hugger
Never the hugged

Never forgetting
Always forgotten

You are a human
That's why I care
That's why l love
That's why I help
That's why I believe
That's why I trust
That's why I value
Because you are human

I close my eyes
And start to cry
My hope dies
I don't know why

Life just hates me
And so will you
Once you see
I'm nothing new

But your smile
Lures me still
From a mile
Over a hill

It is a lighthouse
For me a waif
It is a blanket
To keep me safe

Sorry I made you cry
It's hard to say goodbye
It is for the best
I will leave you to the rest

My love for you
It overflows
But that's nothing new
Everyone already knows

They always ask
They always guess
You wear a mask
We are a mess

They ask if we are in love
You tell them no
But we fit like a glove
You won't let it be so

I know you love me
You said it yourself
I guess you are afraid to be
Be true to yourself

All I have for you is love
All I want from you is love

I don't know what to say
The words just won't come to mind
To make you know I feel this way
I know that you would be so kind

I just want to tell you how I feel
To let you know your not alone
Make you believe this love is real
I want to be the one you call your own

I know that you have flaws
But mine at just as bad as yours
They are no reason to give us pause
Together we will find our cures

I promise not to hurt you
I know that others have
My heart will always be true
It will not be split in half

I can not hide it any longer
My fear is strong
But love is stronger
I have waited far to long

Consider this my declaration
That you are my one fixation

I want to turn back time
Just to make you mine

Was too shy to say it first
Too late so now it hurts

Now you are so numb
And I am feeling dumb

Should have said I love you
When I had the chance to

My biggest life regret
Wish I could reset

You will be my world
Even when I'm old
If I had been bold
Wouldn't be this cold

I can not help myself
Being next to you
I feel beside myself
Because my love for you

You can never understand
The fullness of my love
But me, I can understand
That you don't want my love

You don't care about the pain
The pain of unreciprocated love
My cuts are for you, I feel the pain
I don't care about the pain I just care about your love

You may not know it
But I am a poet
I take my time
To write a rhyme
When I feel it
I will write it
If it helped your pain
You would do the same

L osing all you doubts
O pening up to them
V aluing them above you
E xperiencing life together

Don't know who I am
Or what I want to do
Brain has gone to mush
I only think of you

My brain is filled
With thoughts of you

My heart it aches
And beats for you

My love so deep
I'm drawn to you

My life is dull
When not with you

My goal in life
Is loving you

You told me a lie
That you'll always be here
For me when I am down
But in my darkeat moment
You're nowhere to be found

A poet is an artist
Doesn't matter their name
Their story is the same
They went through so much pain
It almost left them lame
So they must explain
All of their pain

I wish to hold
You oh so tight
And let you know
That it's alright
I'll move your fears
Far from your sight
And if we were
To ever fight
I would be sure
To make it right
So we could hug
In the moonlight

I was born to wander
Born to roam
To seek and ponder
Seek a home

I am sitting here
Only treading water
Not getting any better
But I am building muscle
With every single stroke
So that maybe one day
When life it's me
I can hit life back
And come out on top

I know I am not good enough
I know I can't be perfect
I know I don't deserve you
I know I will always be average
I know I can't do everything right
But that doesn't mean I will stop trying

It is a lie
That Love exists
Some argue against
They say love is real

Now read it backwards
