I hear you're looking for a rumor
One that you can share with friends
A little taste of something juicy
On which an ear can bend

If you can spare a moment
I'll gladly give you what your wanting
Slightly above a whisper
Is how I will be sharing

Not sure if this is true
Not sure that even matters
I'll leave it up to you
How you embellish to make it better

When you're grinding in the rumor mill
Whether course or extra fine
Giving it a turn or two
Is all it takes to ruin lives

I hear you're looking for a rumor
That's the rumor being spread
A little taste of juicy gossip
Something on which an ear can bend
Its so unbearable
The way I feel about you
The way you make me so happy
But at the same time,
You are slowly crushing my heart
I know you are'nt mine
But you have been the only person able to
Break the strong grasp
From the claws of demons
You made sunlight drip into my mind
You made me feel capable of happiness again

Although, I still feel the dull ache
That knaws at my heart
How you flaunt over other girls
Am I not nothing special to you?
Its as though I'm just another nobody

I love you
*But I hate you
What the hell.
Think about it this way
You're complaining of not having a valentines today

Some children dont have a mother on Mothers day
No one to teach their child to bake
No one to braid the 6 year old girls hair
No one to give dandilion bouquets to.

A child who doesnt have a father to love on Fathers day
No one to teach them how to play baseball
To ride a bike,
No one to teach him or her to pitch a tent

A child sits in a foster home on Christmas or even on Thanksgiving
His or her only wish is to have a loving family
Have a chance to believe in magic
Have a home
A big feast displayed out infront of them.

Or maybe someone sits crying on Remeberance day,
because they lost their husband, dad, mom or big brother
You cant get back someone who is gone
A child may not have even met a past family member.

Look at it realistically.
Sorry it ***** but I had to rant.
Last night I had the dream again
I dreamed I dreamed of you
The sky was of the brightest red
Mixed with the deepest hue of blue

You sat down the book you were reading
On the table of that small French cafe'
Your eyes took me in at that moment
I was unable to turn my gaze

You spoke in the calmest of accents
When together our hearts were bound
Where we share in that love forever
In this dream where you are found
Happy Valentines Day my friends...

Constantly hot
Like a cigarette
Always lit

Burning up
Like the sun
Trying to stay cool
Like the midnight moon

Fierce and feisty
Sweet yet spicy
A little sarcastic
A little electric

When you touch
When you kiss
It's like magic
Felt like posting a poem. Love you, poets. :)

Birthday next month
Which is why
I am Miss March
Born on the tenth
Of the third month
Of every year
I'm not liking
The thought of
Getting older
Makes me more
Insecure
Than I was
The year before
It reminds me
That I'm not a kid
I am a young adult
I am a young woman
Who is maturing
And growing
And changing
More mood swings
More diet failures
College graduation
My hands are shaking
I'm lost in translation
My mind is spinning
