Here it is,
go ahead, rip it apart,
it’s just poetry,
it has no feelings,
won’t show any emotion,
definitely won’t bleed,
shed tears or fight back,
just a bunch of words
poured from someone’s
freaking heart, (yeah I said freaking,
does that make me a loser?)
Oh well, you can just go f,
nah, it doesn’t matter anyway,
it’s just poetry,
rip it apart, go ahead,
here it is

I hope this hole in my heart
is big enough to hold my coffin,
because I no longer have the energy
to dig my own grave
I asked for truth
You gave more lies
Asked for your company
You ignored my cries

All I wanted was dignity
You mocked me again
All I needed was love
Couldn't even call you friend

I granted your request
When you asked for a second chance
Yet you broke my heart again
With out one backward glance

I've clawed my way back
From heart ache and pain
Now I'm stronger than before
My efforts were not in vain

So today when I saw you
You were truly surprised
A new woman stood before you
Confident and wise

You're no longer my whole story
I've moved on from your deception
I don't need you any more
I am my own protection

You asked if you could call me
And I could've lost my calm
I could've "put you in your place"
But that would have been so wrong

I am who I am today
In part because of you
I am strong, I know my worth
Thanks to all that we went through

You knew the answer before I gave it
Knew it wasn't meant to be
It was the ending of our chapter
Story over, I am free!

Minutes fail to move
as I sit here at my desk,
dress shirt and tie, wondering
why am I here,
when everything I want
is somewhere else

Watching the rain
through city streaked windows
dampening the day
Knowing in another place
sunshine dressed borders
glow in summer sleeves

And a cool north wind
cries along with me,
teardrops falling,
attempting to escape
this that is here
in a different fashion

Wanting to be there,
where you are,
wrapping my arms around you
like a warm shirt on a chair
holding onto you,
never letting go

I wish I could write
a poem so perfect
It would be the last one
that I’d need to write

One that would tell you
exactly my feelings
Filling your heart on
this warm summer night

Words so amazing
your eyes would not falter
Gazing the verses
with me as your view

Every breath that you
find you are breathing
Comes with a song
of a love ever true

Phrases that touch where
no other has touched you
Caressing your dreams
with a feeling so pure

If only I could I would
write you that poem
So there’d be no doubt
you’re the one I adore

When you awaken
with morning skies smiling
A hot cup of coffee
and love in your heart

Feel on the breezes
my endless affection
That flows ever stronger
this day we’re apart

Know that my thoughts
they do linger about you
Hoping your dreams
will forever come true

And hear these words
that I send in a whisper
As dawn is arising,
I'll always love you

I feel like I am
coming out of my skin
trying to reach far enough
to touch you
