You asked me why I like you
But I didn’t want to tell
Some of my reasons are cheesy...
But here is why I fell

I love the way your lips curve
When I make you smile
It makes me want to pull you close
And kiss you for awhile

I love the way your eyes twinkle
When you talk about things you love
I truely believe
You are a gift from above

I love that you are compassionate
You have such a big heart
That was the first thing I noticed
Right from the start

I love the way it feels
When you hold me tight
I finally feel safe
Like I could sleep through the night

I love that you don’t judge me
For my less than perfect self
That is more attractive
Than any amount of wealth

There are so many more reasons
But I’ll start with just this few
Maybe someday
I’ll give this poem to you

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?
She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.
We all are broken one way or another
We sat in pain and no one noticed
We lied to our parents and everyone around us
We said were okay
Even tho were broken
She always smiled, and finally had cried,
She got tired of all those people who lied;
Her eyes, no longer bright and wide,
This is a story about a girl who died.

She cut her wrist and watched it drip,
With blood so red, as the color of her lip;
She took the chance, not letting it slip,
She added more to the wrist she had slit.

It wasn’t enough, so she tied a noose,
Making sure it was secure, not loose;
She grabbed a chair and took off her shoes,
There she stood, covered in bruise.

She never found ways,
To die, without a trace;
But the thought of finally dying, made her heart race,
She then pushed the chair, with a smile on her face.

Lilla
Knowing I'm not perfect
I can't help but cry
Life shattered me
Life was a lie

My heart was broken
Everything collapsed

People left
Love faded
Everyone turned away
All was never forgiven
Safety was forgotten
Everyone lied
Look at all the first letter of the side

Him
You loved him
You did all you could for him
You tried for him
You cried for him
You ended things for him
You started things for him
You broke for him
You changed for him
You trusted him
And he used you...
And he lied to you
And as you slept with him he went off to sleep with another
As you loved him he loved another
As you changed for him he changed for another
As you broke for him he grew for another
As you tried for him he tried for another
And he left you for that other.
