I am igniting fire--flame.
You tried to test me,
Causing pain.
It is you--who I blame

In every room
I've lived in,
all the dilapidated shacks
over the years that I've
stayed in, always had a
brown spider that crawled
the walls.
It had a little suitcase.

I thought to myself that it
planned on leaving, moving to
someplace better.
It never did.
It always just set up shop, and
spun a web in the corner and caught
flies, and occasionally a small moth.

On drunken sad moon nights,
I sang dirges to the trapped bugs.
They smiled and laughed, even though
they were dying.

As much as I wanted to

I could never hate you

my love was too strong

for hate to stand a chance.

Give me the colors of a rainbow and I'll be your heart's extol  
or a petal from your favorite rose so I can place it in my soul;
Send me the pillow the fairies have gleaned with watermark  
I'll hold it to my chest until I hear the melodious coo of a lark!  

Be a Spiritual Gem inside me, I will polish and make you shine  
like a soaring star I'll glitter so you know,"I'm truly~truly thine."

Hello.
I know this message will not reach you, but it must be written.
Every poem I wrote in hopes you would see it.
I have been lost in you for years now.

I have been doing a lot of thinking and found the place where I must be.
It's a warm place, but I need support to feel alive.
I struggle to find dependable people or anyone who seeks to take an interest in me.
I think you would call me the problem and I wholeheartedly disagree.

But that won't change the shadows of friends now gone I still hear.
Haunting, in my dreams.
You were one who gave me life and brought me back from the precipice.
A place I have been too many times.

But in the place where hope is lost, the most important thing becomes clear.
I've known what it was and caught glimpses.
What is important, I learned of me, is to live as I see fit.
Living as you see fit, expressing your ethics through strategies I think is the correct way to be.

You will be strong, you will find your love flourish as that is just who you are.
You called my apology too late, I feel I had to learn my guilt before it could truly change me into a better man.
But the life you gave me was genuine and my feelings absolute.
I am no longer lost yet I do not fret for the fact my love remains.

I don't know if I will meet you again.
If we are not to be fated, that piece of my heart will be with you forever.
I know you won't read this message, so know I care for you deeply.
There was never enough time so farewell, into my life I return.
