It's dwindled and
It has completely burned out
Over the years and summer days
But you made me brave
And all the things
I was too scared and powerless to do
I did all of them
Whenever it came to being around you
And all I can do now
Is find myself writing about you
Nothing is able to make it up to you,
The props from long ago
Will be gone when you're done
You took the memories,
Refreshed my burdened mind
You left them behind
And now they're all mine
And I'm doing this because I need to
I could never fix it for you
But I'm making it right with me
To find ultimate inner peace

We were younger


You was lightning,


Fast and beautiful


And I was thunder,


Bold and truthful
I remember the feel of your hair
The way you had trouble looking at me
I braved through
I remember loving to look at you
Long arms spread out on that wooden table
You'd act so coy and confident
And I so badly wanted it

I was learning to flirt
If you want a girl,
You better work on those legs
And your hair?
It needs a change
"Well, how should I fix it?"
Do this and that,
I refused to do it for you
Because my poor stomach and chest
Were already feeling too much
I wouldn't have handled the spark
If our skin would have brushed
But I braved through it,
Did it a little bit

And we laughed while it got dark,
We laughed like we were little kids
And our faces were red
But it wasn't all from the laughing
And we'd catch each other staring
Learned to admire that sacred ground

We were younger
You was lightning,
Fast and beautiful
And I was thunder,
Bold and truthful

I stare at my wall now
Wonder how your hair feels now
Wonder who loves your legs now

tell me how to write
the gnats out of my skull
the static from my fingertips
the fire from my veins
the infection from my wounds
tell me how to write
you out of this body

Being the good man you are
And keeping your word,
Knowing I can't do anything
In return must feel
Close to egotistical
But I'm not one for negativity,
Not anymore at least

And this sea just experienced
An inhumane tsunami
Of mass proportion
Everything the wave drags back in
Is a slow burn

But I'm the master of my sea
This pain will recede,
Your memory will not leave,
I will brave it and not flee.
This will not be the end of me.
You didn't want it written, 'makes it too iimpersonal'. But I'll make sure you know it's about you. Just watch. Watch and read. I'm better than you will ever perceive me to be.

You shall know
the truth and
the truth shall set
you free

And I feel like
I have died
and there isn't anything
Left in me

But somehow
Flowers and trees,
Butterflies and birds
That sing are
Replaced with new

And even though
I'm way, way past the end
And I know I will
Never see you again
You'll always be my friend

And my pain will
Wash away my dusted sins
And a new life will begin
A New Beginning.

Full of regret
Words from anger
Can't take it back
I hope they tell anyone picking on you to leave you alone.

Let's design  new schools,
Where amity is a teaching tool,
One big family of friends,
Where Peace is the means to an end,
No bigotry, racism, or intolerance,
Hands circling the globe in platonic dance,
We still need to learn our literacy,
Not to mention our numeracy,
But we could design new schools,
Where Peace is the learning tool.......
Feedback welcome.
