Whatever happened to poems rhyming?
You cannot tell me that trend is now dying?

Whatever happened to the artist's demise?
Of finding a word to match the last line?

Now all I see are thesaurus-y words,
Like really? Whoever has heard of "demurred?"

I get it, it's new, it's hip, it's "in"
But to not rhyme in a poem should be considered a sin.
Get off this fad before it's too late.
Poems should rhyme, there is no debate.

"So, I met this girl..."
Yeah, I know that sounds cliche.
I'm surprised how much we talked, since she took my breath away.
And I know.....
I always say that ****
But guys this time I swear!
She's different.

We talked about life.
And how we're getting married.
After only two hours!
Yeah I know, that sounds scary.
But something about, that confidence in her eyes, took away the doubt, I was feeling inside.

And then she held my hand tight! Like she'd never let go....
But on that digital screen, she's still a "no-show."

Sweet Jesus, here comes the paranoia.
The over-obsessive lunatic I'd promised I'd never show ya.

I'm ruined.
Spent all day thinking.
And after thoughts like that, I should be "shrinking."

But Why?!
Who says it's wrong?!

Maybe we're the ones who have been right all along?!

Correct in our decisions, sinning in our ways.
****, the way you kiss me, it makes me wanna stay.

Delusional visions, but then, here we lay...

**** the way you kiss me,

Is it night? Or day?

I want to text her, "You're making a mistake."
I want to tell her all that is at stake
Explain to her the reasons I've come up with in my head
But all I can do is lay here in my bed.
Shiny new ring like a false prophet.
I've seen too many come before and that is why I scoff it.
Been gone for a few months so all you do is miss her
Get down on one knee and then you start to kiss her
But the glamour wears off, the decision sinks in
All of these thoughts make me crawl inside my skin.
The life of a princess is all she ever wanted.
Kissing frogs before she learned to walk-yeah.
Her prince charming in camis and a flight cap.
Taking her away and neither wanna look back.
I see she's happy and taken and I want that.
So I pull her in to the depths because that's where I'm at.
I'm not satisfied, so why should you be!?
All I want is for you to see what I see.

You can walk away from the ocean
turn your back on the sand and the waves
you can forget about passion, devotion
you can block out the thought of days

It had been years since I had seen you
I'm pretty sure I hate you as well
but when we sat down at that table
the feelings, they all began to swell

You see, I had turned my back on you
but never really lost sight,
after years of not seeing the ocean
it turns out I still swim alright.

It's been said many times,
I am losing control
everyday I get closer
It's taking its toll

One day I will slip
it will all be un-done
my mind is just broken
the demons have won.

Girls who drive Mustangs will break your heart
They want what they can't have and know from the start
Semi-pro, they drive. Even when damaged-
Leaving behind boys they have hunted and scavenged

Girls who drive Mustangs are fast and deadly
As soon as they have you they'll spit you out empty
Treat them like trash and you're sure to score
Just be careful not to fall in love at their door.

Girls who drive Mustangs will tear you apart
Don't give them your all, just give them a part
Know they have others, it's never just you
Don't give them control, they'll run you right through

Girls who drive Mustangs have a look that can melt
They have a touch that can silence, a voice that can smelt
They have lips that can poison, skin that can light
A smell just like summer, just put up a fight

Girls who drive Mustangs are not to be trusted
They should only be used, mis-treated, and lusted
It isn't cruel, they know it's the truth
They need to feel something, no matter the ruse

Girls who drive Mustangs don't play by the rules
They are cunning and ruthless, they are nobodies fool

I once had a run-in with a girl just like this
For I was the road, and the speed limit, she missed.
