No one is to blame,
I fell under a shadow.
Nothing wins again.
I** hate it.
As the warmth of blankets
forms a burn over my knees.

I lay restless,
thinking.
All I need is you.

Wishing it was different.
Wishing i could have moved your hair behind your ear just once.
Wishing i could see you smile like that time on the beach.

I think back to that time.
I see the waves and taste the salt.
But all i now feel is the burn of blankets

Because it’s your smile, and your eyes
That’s all I need, to decide,
Who I want to be with for the rest of my life
Who I want to proudly shout out and say, “she’s my wife”
And you’re the only woman left, who I wanna call misses right
The only woman out there who I think about at night
The only woman out there who’s worth all the fight
See I’m not lookin’ for ***
Don’t want you as my ex
Cause baby when we together
Me and you?!...we CONNECT
Like toast and eggs, like butter and bread
I’ll make this all if you want, I’ll make you breakfast in bed
Then you can work it out while you runnin’ through my head [lol]
But the love we once had is makin’ me all red
Cause I’m over here mad at myself
And I’m over here thinkin', "how can this girl forget the feelings we've felt?"
I have no direction because I’m lost without your help
Like ice outta the freezer I fall apart and I melt
Down, when you’re not around
My heart leaps outta my chest and crashes straight to the ground
And it always killed me to see you frown
I was supposed to be your king until I threw away the crown
I messed up, but I’m sorry
I apologize to you right now and you won’t ever have to worry
About the past, because we’ll keep it in the past
And this break up we have right now? we can throw it in the past!
Cause I want me and you to last
I want your kids to call me, “dad”
And I someday hope to have the 3rd part of my name, your last...

come back to me...
spoken word poem that I actually performed in front of her the same day I wrote it [last friday 07/08/12]. thought I'd go ahead and share this.
