I had to break your heart to set my own heart free.
I'm truly sad to see you go but it's better you than me.

What we made together was destined to fall apart.
They say that broken people create the best art.

I hope you find yourself another man to save.
I'm sorry for the time you wasted and the love you gave.

If I could give it back I wouldn't
despite the pain I caused.

Some would say that's selfish.
I never said I'm perfect.
This is a poem about a girl who's heart I broke when I realized I didn't love her.

Hey hello baby,
I'm sorry, but I'm leavin'.
I'll think about your ***
maybe next tax season.

Sure the pay is good,
but my dignity is weeping,
and I couldn't stop the feelings
of anxiety from creeping.

The times I felt alone,
shadowed by my fear,
made me realize
a new day was coming near.

If you try to break me down
I emerge from the rubble,
stronger than I was before
empowered by the struggle.

The darkest of days can have the brightest of nights,

if you look towards the stars and reflect on your life.

The loves that you've grown and the joys that they bloom.

Hugging your mother, and feeling safe like the womb.

The adventures of youth, oh so simple and blissful.

And the first week of spring, hearing singing birds whistle.

The landscape of time with it's summits and peaks,

is ripe for exploring 'til the heart cannot speak.

Times may seem dark but look straight ahead.

'Cause things will get brighter once this day is dead
I love you

The greatest beauty of my queen

Cannot be touched or heard or seen

Her eyes and smile will steal your heart

But still one thing sets her apart

Study her soul then you will see

How truly beautiful a girl can be

Before spring emerged from winter's remorse
My heart had long suffered from it's previous course

I'd gone to the river of vanity's charm
and drank from the waters ignoring the harm

The poisonous wrath enveloped my soul
My reckless abandon had taken its toll

I lived as a man with no self esteem
The waters raged on as I drifted downstream

The day we crossed paths you reached for my hand
I couldn't resist what fortune had planned

I saw in your eyes who I needed to be
Baptized by your love I was finally free

Our seasons of bliss have opened my heart
Your sun shines on its pedals spreading apart

In building our garden we both shall partake
We're living in eden without any snake

Why do you like me?
I'm not really right, see

I've got this ****** up brain
that doesn't match my body

It'll be better for both
if you go on your way

I know that you want
me to beg you to stay

the truth can be harsh
I'll spare you the pain

my feelings are missing
I can't really explain

I'm sorry I can't
share the love that you feel

But your arrows of passion
are my Achilles heel

So Before we're to deep
I want you to go

leave me alone
with my mountain of blow
