I cherish your voice
Like the last drop of coffee
On a restless morning.

I wish it was us raining
Falling and melting together
As the sky's tears do.

I long to be the song
Circling tiredly through your head
When you lay down at night to sleep.

I'd give up three meals
If every time I ate
I dined on the warmth of your lips.

I wish to be steaming water
Rolling over your skin
Making you sigh with satisfaction.

I want to be the towel
That kills the cold air
Right when you leave the shower.

We will be the clock
That ticks to forever
For time is no challenging measure.
A gentle touch
A gentle smile
A gentle laugh
That lasts awhile

Appealing eyes
Appealing face
Appealing everything
Nothing to replace

Wanting a kiss
Wanting a hug
Wanting so many things
You are like my drug

But I mustn't I am told
But I can't it seems
But I shouldn't No I shouldn't
Why oh why is this happening to me
I am half of you.
Right?
You are 23 of my original 46 chromosomes
Yet,
I barely know you.
But that’s a two way street.
While your second marriage is failing and my relationship is thriving
And I might be drinking a little too much and you might be earning not enough
I have late Friday nights while you are...
Wait.
I don’t know what you’re doing.
My bright blue eyes reflect nothing of your dark chocolate brown
The only thing we seem to have in common is our reputation of being
The tallest in the room.
Dad, I’m growing up.
And it’s not my height this time.
You have always been a man of few words
Well, I’m just the opposite.
I wish we could sit down and pour our hearts out
I want to understand what goes through that forty-seven year old mind of yours
I want to know what sprouted those gray hairs on your head and
How high school changed your life
I want love advice
Tell me funny stories about all the wonderful mistakes you made
As long as you don’t mention the one
Where you forgot to speak to your daughter.
Frustrated.
With myself, or you?
You’re content without me
And that’s not fair
Because I’m not content without you.
One way channels of affection should not exist
The world is out of balance
How can you be right for me, and me not right for you?
When will my own chemical orientations be reciprocated?
I couldn’t be more sure of you.
Sure that you fill a void in me no one else can touch.
But when I speak to you, confide in you--
When I anticipate a mutually appreciated interaction,
And you don’t speak—don’t show—don’t need—
Well, I find myself here.
Rolling on in these ruts, unwanted, with love unrequited.
Frustrated, but not with you.
Because not caring is no crime,
And life is yours to live.
So live on, love, and I will rust.
You

You.
I don't know you- but if I could I would hold  onto every moment like how you hold onto your pencil when you write.
There is something  in your words that create an ever repeating echo in my heart... oh I wish I knew you, I wish I knew.
You don't know me, but maybe you've read words that I've typed and they have washed upon your soul, on your mind.

I feel like I've glimpsed into some secrete hollow of your life.
As if stumbling onto your poem was meant to occur.. but I'll stay on the edge of my seat and only know you though my reads.

That's all that can happen- that's all that can be- for a poets mind, heart,
and soul are dark
                         and deep.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
When I am alone I get to start thinking
About times long ago, but i've nothing to show
And where is it really that young man is going?
Over the fields, where thoughts become real
But maybe there's something much more to just 'living'
We're all in a mess, Just working for debts
And tasting the freedom is more than rewarding
Some might protest, I prefer to just guess

So lets take the train but don't lose your thought
I de-railed the thing, It does happen a lot
In another five years, maybe reserve my spot
But that was just something you said
To get yourself out of my hemorrhaging head

When I am alone I get to start thinking
Have I been here before, I can't just shut the door
Because nobody plans to have what it's throwing
It's simply how I was raised, the god won't be praised
Everything I've ever done was my knowing
The consequence matters, embracing cadavers
So why did i let you control who I'm telling
Our lives would be different, if we only had listened

So lets ride the current and live like were taught
Lose all control, let our float hit the dock
Thoughts of next month flutter out through the lock
I destroyed everything once again
Became something weaker than i've ever been
And it's sad
It's sad
It's sad
It's sad

Now we just live day to day
Hoping to win the lottery
Still, we just breathe the same old way
And we turn out hate in factories
You don't ******* care about me.
The only reason you let me breathe and eat is so you can exist.
I could barely move when I didn't keep you next to me.
The yelling in my ear wouldn't let me think.
You only let me keep my job so I could give you my money.
You stole from my family, lied to my friends, made me isolate.
I ended up turning into two people, my cowardly controlled self, and YOU.

It's been five weeks since I have seen you and I am doing fine.
I don't need you, I don't want you.
I don't miss you.
Just don't try to bump into me in an alley.
I will **** you...
...I will **** myself.
