the Internet
a wonderful place to connect
it opens doors to new people
but many use it for nothing but being evil
then there is us the poets
the people that can take a broken heart and sew it
the internet world is amazing
but it can send some people away blazing in tears
the internet is some peoples worst fear
but if used right
used for light not dark
this world can bring a whole new you to life
it can help people when their fight
so use this artificial world the internet for nothing but LIGHT

she that one girl that's all alone
but then he came along
he saw her scars  
then he showed her the stars
it all began with a broken heart
then it all changed when he came
he called her by name
he said he would show her love and not use it as a game
now her heart is whole again
he is her lover and her best friend
and she'll never be alone or forgoten

spring the time of rebirth
the time to shed winters burn
the birds sing
and the trees ring with the sound of wind
the new generation are making new friends
its time for spring to begin

The heart what a fragile thing
it can be amazing
and it can be torn to tatters just the same
why does it hurt so much
when someone you love breaks it with single touch
they made you feel like you were enough
that all you had to do was love
then its all ripped away
and you grow dimmer day by day
you cant understand what people say anymore
or why she walked out the door
everyone has somebody to love
but she cracked yours with a single touch
you saw her with another man today
then you go home and cry and pray
for God to take you away
then you meet her that girl that's always alone
she seems to make it fine on her own
you see her scars and she hides
no one has ever been kind to her
or shown her how much she is worth
then one day she runs up to you the boy all alone
and she collapses into your arms
she is crying so hard
she whispers a man did the unspeakable
and you did the unthinkable
you took her home and made her your own
no more being alone
you show her your scars that match hers
she has become your world
this wonderful girl
the world never saw her for who she is
but you looked deeper than anyone ever did
and now she is yours and she will never be alone again
you and her opened a new kind of door
Love,Loyalty,Faith,and Joy
forevermore

I am awake when I see nature’s beauty
But I have to sleep to dream of you
It’s so easy to fall for the sunset
There is no good or evil inside to see
There is no fear of what it might say next
I’m always ready to try it without remorse
I don’t have to think about it until I do
And tomorrow it will wait for my return
But getting personal is not how it loves
It doesn’t have to do anything, unlike me

But how much more could I love someone
A wild animal will never make it easy
A snake makes a path then sheds itself
Changing with life as it’s meant to be
And to love you when you are so fragile
So able to crush my spirit with your body
Giving it away even though you love me
You can do that because I never knew
You were willing to take it as far as it takes
My pain proved you once were in love with me

We lose those we love the most
time takes its toll
they always have to go when are away
and we beg them to come back and stay
we take them for granted
never to see what seems so childish
but now we wish
to say those things in our hearts
because now they been ripped apart
but we have to let them go
because now we know
we have to remember that they're watchin
and waitin
for us to come home and to say that sayin
ive missed you no more tears
no more apologies
because i know and understand
welcome home
I write this poem for a new friend of mine her name is Aaliyah Gisele
she has had a hard time with letting go of what has happened
so i hope this helps her in a way
