You
I am so lucky to have met you
Before you I was in a constant state of feeling blue
I love it when you call me by my name
It makes me show off and spit my game
Having you interested in me has made all the difference
I won't ever have to talk about my love life in past tense
I get to feel good about myself knowing you love me
And I'll always let you know that I love you too wholeheartedly
Expressing my love for you is something I'll always do
Because I want you to know just how much I have fallen in love with you.
And this one is about her now that she's agreed to be my girlfriend.

I'm not even sure who I am anymore...
I've become but a shell of myself, before.

And my eyes, once happy, look hollow and cold,
with a empty sadness that can't be consoled.

As loneliness grows, festering inside-
the hurt becomes much harder to hide.
 
Darkness has taken control of my heart...
quietly and completely, I'm falling apart.
 
Gathering shards of my broken soul,
I quickly forget what it is to be whole.
 
Life has lost meaning, but I no longer care.
I'm numb...I'm nothing- just dust in the air.
 
Yet envy eats at me, day and night
for those who exist without this fight.

Impassive I let all hope fade away,
knowing tomorrow will be just like today.
 
I am oh so weary from living as I do-
dear lord, let this end, I beg of you...
No matter how I tweak it, this poem never feels finished to me...

'Cause when I say, "Go to sleep,"
It means, "I love you."
Or when I tell you to eat,
That means, "Hey I care."
When you tell me that you love me,
and,
I call you an idiot,
That's me saying it back but with the equivalence of stupidity.
You are the reason I stay awake at night and dream with my eyes open,
You are the stars in my dark sea that I have been constantly trying to drown myself in,
You are,
For Gods sake's,
My Planet Earth because what else is going to supply me the oxygen I need when my brain says,
"Don't breathe."
You make me not want to die when all I could think of is dying cause you know,
Depression.
You are my alarm clock to when I sleep in,
My everyday phone call,
My back up plan when my back up plan needs a back up plan.
There are a billion of people out here that could have chosen me to deal with but you,
You at least tolerate me.
Thank you for the tolerance, at least.
Love.

I was yours but you were never mine
In the midst of those dark clouds
I was your sunshine.

The essence of your smile
Wiped all my tears.
The voice of your confidence
Vanished all my fears.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

Embraced your tears
Craved for your smile
Loved your anger
And all those pretty lies.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

The warmth of your breath across my face
The shiver of your touch filled all the space
The syncing of your lips across mine
The whisper of your voice reverberates in my mind.

But all of it was just for a while
Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

When you were lost
I showed you the directions
But it was too late to realize
I was not your destination.

I chased your footsteps
As you walked away
Killing all my dreams ;on the way
Breaking all my hopes; I had to say
Numbing all my songs; making the lyrics float
In those sleepless night
For you which I wrote.

And now I see you
Fall over her lap
Tenderly sleeping
As she has filled the gap.
But don't worry about me
I'm fine.

Cause I was yours
But you were never mine.

I don't plan,
I don't choose the number of syllables,
I just write.

My rhymes are rare,
I don't plan them,
If they come,
They're there,
Cuz I just write.

If something comes to mind,
I just write.

It's all from my mind,
With inspiration from my heart,
So I write.

I don't get writer's block,
I get an empty heart,
In those times,
I don't write.

I'm not a poet,
I'm just that girl,
Who writes,
Cuz it's hard for her to speak,
And it's easier to,
*Just write.
It's just what it is.
