Never thought I'd have
such an addict's persona.
Never say never.

I'm angry
It always takes me a while to realize this
I'm angry
At the fact that I can't get over this guy
I'm angry
That he's all I think about
I'm angry
That no other guy makes me feel this way
I'm angry
That I know that nothing will happen
I'm angry
That I'm wasting my time
I'm angry
That I'm getting depressed
I'm angry
That my sadness is beginning to consume me
I'm angry
That no one will notice
I'm angry
Because I won't tell anyone
I'm angry
That the only person that did listen is gone now
I'm angry
That I don't want to share my feelings
I'm angry
That I'm writing a poem about it
I'm just really angry

I'm writing this to tell you how happy I am
With life
And you
And us

This has been a long time coming
Since October at least
I kept denying your advances
I couldn't let you in
At least not
In that way

I never thought that pushing you away
Was just causing you
To come closer

All I wanted was for you to get rid of me
Shut me out
Hurt me
Before I
Could hurt you

And eventually,
You did.
Those were the longest three days
Ever

I missed you
A lot
But that triple horror helped me to realize
That you leaving my life
Wasn't as easy
As I pretended it would be

I missed talking to you
About nothing
We text, snap, converse all day
Everyday about
Nothing
But that nothing means everything
To me

You mean everything to me
There,
I said it.
It's out there
Not just trapped inside my brain anymore

You're allowed to know
How I'm really feeling
I'm glad I can finally tell you how
I really feel

It's strange to think how important you've become
In just a matter of months
You've changed my life
For the better

Who would have thought
The crazy, weird, lanky
But technically tall, dark and handsome
Theater kid
Would capture my heart?

I certainly never would have guessed
But with your sugar-sweet words
And effortless chivalry and
Your crazy obsession with
Nic Cage
I found my National Treasure in the form of
You

So, Ryan,
Who knows where this will lead
Or how long it will last
All I know is that I'm really really
Happy
And a lot of that
Is because of
**You
I love you.

What a mistake I made
Investing my love
Devoting my time
Into someone so incapable of loving another
You don't even love yourself
So depressed, you want to die
It happens to the best of us
But that's no reason to give up
I shouldn't have been selfish
I should have just been the friend you needed
But instead I pursued something more than just friendship
And it's led me to being so hurt and alone
You're much younger than me
You're not really committed to me
I'm such a fool
For almost falling for you
I need to step back now
Before the damage grows
You're not ready for this
You can't give me what I want
I want your all
Every little piece of you
Emotional and physical
But you're not ready for that
And now I must take a step back
I love you and always will
But you're not ready for this
And it's all going downhill

We look at one another and our eyes meet with disgust.
A bundle of joy lives with each blink,
so I keep my eyes shut and walk blindly.
She taunts me with laughter,
so I deafen my ears to shield the heart.
I can only be sure of myself.
Not to long ago I said, "It was nice to meet you."
Time never perfected its unseen future.
I've learned that everything is an illusion,
and never shall we survive as lovers.
No reintroduction is necessary when all is lost.
Reflect, reflect, reflect
Trust yourself and trust your client
Accept those you counsel
If you don't know what to say, smile
Finish on time
Don't talk too much
Show your joy
Hide your judgments
Try to work yourself out of a job
Love yourself
Clarify, clarify, clarify
Stomp out erroneous thinking
Keep Kleenex handy
Not really a poem but some thoughts on the art of helping.

I need you to know
that I no longer write about you.
i know this may be cold, but you are not who i kissed in my dream last night.
