I never thought I would fall for you twice,
but here I am writing this poem.
I'm just a dandelion lost in this greenhouse
surrounded by these blooming beauties.
But hoping, hopefully
you would make a wish out of me.
You've got this look that makes me crave adventure.
You've got mountains in your eyes
and the northern wind in your soul.
I can't remember the last thing you said to me
and that's okay.
We never talked much thanks to my anxiety.
I'm not too far but my words have failed me so many moons
how am I suppose to talk to you?
You've got your future gripped tight by the wrist
and my hands are lost in all this space.
Maybe sometime in the years to come, I'll discover your footprints
and remember my high school crush all over again.
I'll stop and think if you're out in California making coffee for people,
like I overheard you say you wanted to do in math class that one time,
or strumming a guitar solo on stage somewhere in the city.
I just hope wherever you find yourself in time to come you're happy and smiling brighter than the stars.
I know not much will happen in these last eight months we have together,
but I want to thank you for the day you introduced yourself to me because you knew no one else in the class.
I know I'm just a dandelion in this great big greenhouse,
but I'm just really happy that you noticed me.

A pool of blood is all it takes
For someone to realize they made a mistake

From the beginning
we were born to die.
There is no starting over.
There are no second chances.
With death carved on our skin
how could we live a normal life?

You could run but you'll one day run out of breath.
It's just a game.
You hide your pain and sorrow.
Save it for another day
when everything just falls apart and you can't pick it up.

Medicine and alcohol keeps you awake
As you hunt your demons and monsters.
You could choose to die but then this world would fall apart.
You give others that second chance,
you give them time to run and escape
while you slaughter their monsters,
and **** their demons instead.

You've got blood on your hands
and a soldier's heart.
Your brain is beautiful
just corrupted.
You smile to stay strong
and your humor hides your internal scars.

In the end
you'll look back on your youth
and notice you died a long time ago.
You never had the chance to be happy.
You'll never know the feeling of growing old with your lover
because all your lovers are either buried below your feet,
or somewhere up in the sky with the stars.
It's not that far,
one day you'll be with them.
Then, you'll finally be able to rest your tired hands.

Sun is out bright and shiny
But it’s dark and cold inside.
People out, they seem so happy
But it’s lonely inside this heart.

Summer feels like barren winter
Merry Christmas in July.
Take my heart to hiding places
From this storm in clear skies.

I went out to run from demons
They kept whispering out loud.
I have never felt so lonely
Like I was inside the crowd.

Never ending summer(winter)
Once again another round.
Never gets so cold and lonely
Like it does in summertime.
"Being with her was being lonely twice, it was loneliness to the square root; but I was also lonely being by myself, I was lonely being with my friends. I was...lonely."

The voices inside my head telling me to let it all go

They grow louder and louder the more I ignore

The judgments, the hatred, the tears I cry

Do you know about them or do you just believe what the smile hides?

The harsh words and the pointing fingers have damaged my soul

I want to get out of here, to a place unknown

This world is a dark place, they always say

But what about the darkness inside me that lingers on each day

I am slowly drowning, I need a hand to hold- Are you listening or choosing to ignore.

There is little humanity left in this world, it’s a shame

7 billion people in this world, not a single one today

Could’ve should’ve doesn’t make a difference once its too late

I don’t know much but this I know, we are all just humans and sometimes

We lose our way.

All year long
I procrastinate
until the cold
December air
is dense with the cries
of these neglected tasks

But the beginning
of a new year is light.
So much room
to push stuff back
to a later date.
A perfect time to write.

My Reasons

She Writes
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

:)
