I know what I do
always effects you
I know what I do
always hurts you
I know what I love
you hate
I know what I hate
you love

You know what you do
doesn't help me
You know what you do
messes me up
You know what you do
always hurts me
You know what you love
I hate
You know what you hate
I love

I know we're different but we learn
to grow
to learn
to be different

I never gave you an invitation to hurt me
you never gave me one either
I never gave you permission to love me
neither did you
It just happened
we fell in love
at the wrong time
in the wrong place
but still
we fell in love
Just you
and me
love.

I left the sun for the moon
And found warmth in the darkness
A laptop screen became the light
From which I use to write
About how I became nocturnal

never trust a poet's words
they sound sweet at first
but you'll notice the emotion in their words
it all sounds too...
fake
"i love you like the sea loves the shore"
becomes too scripted
you hear the small tinge of love actually left in their voice
hoping
hoping it could mean something
but it doesn't
it never does
it's just the way they say it
one day, after they have left
you will find their poems, and they will be the exact words that they had said to you
once long ago

What are you looking at young child?
The two boys kissing over there?
It's fine. I promise. Love is love!
And the two girls holding hands?
That's ok too. Love is love after all.
No need to argue.
What are you looking at, kid?
The single dad with children of his own?
Smiling at their father as does other children?
He does his best, he works hard and never wants to let them down
He's a good dad in my opinion.
Yes, a very handsome one too.
What are you looking at?
The mother who tries to make her child smile?
Oh the child! I see he's wearing pink.
And is that eye shadow? Oh she did it well, his mum did.
Oh and her daughter! Oh she looks cute in blue jeans.
And I love that blue shirt on her.
Oh those two! The ones who like rock music
Wear leather jackets, spikes, tattoos, piercings and black
Yet they're the kindest couple on earth.
Is all this bothering you child?
You shouldn't need to worry. They're all good people, all very nice.
They're all human inside.
Give them a smile dear!
That's it.

i do not play the part
of a princess or a
damsel
i am
the dragon.
the soldier.
the knight.

I loaned a friend $3000 for plastic surgery,
I am still looking for her.

I will use your tears
to water my mind,
and grow you a poem
Anytime that you cry
