The man sits
In his chair
Mumbling words that
No one will ever understand.

In his left hand,
He carries a cane
So he won't fall,
But he still does.

He's young at heart,
With a smile a mile wide,
But at the end of the day,
He's frowning again.

His hands shake,
And even though he thinks
Everything will be okay in the end,
He knows that it won't.

And at the end of the day,
He takes his last breath,
And he's
G o n e.

She sits there,
Waiting, on the bench
For him to apologize,
As her tears stain the keys.

The keys tell her story;
The keys tell her life.
All of the heartbreak that she's felt,
And the crap she's gone through;
It doesn't matter
Once the piano is in her line of sight.

She waits, a day or two,
And sits, and writes,
And moans and cries,
But her wish is never granted.

He will never apologize
For what he's done.
It's a game, to him,
It's all for fun.

She doesn't know if she can cry much longer,
But she's running out of material.
Her songs are the same,
Over and over and over again.

He's gone,
And she's there.
The Musician writes
To get rid of the pain,
And to get out of the game.
Most of my poems are completely true, including this one :)

He over looks me,
His emerald orbs focusing on
The girl next to me.

To him, I am only a shadow;
A filler of space.
My only purpose is to exist,
And for my feelings,
Exactly the opposite.

His ***** blonde hair
Matches mine exactly,
Complementing it like it should.

Still, whatever I do,
He looks the other way.
He looks at her, and only her,
Even though she doesn’t feel that way
About him.
He’s wasting his time on her,
When I’m right in front of his face.

Sometimes I think about waving,
Or saying hi,
But I know that it will give me away.
And maybe this is just a silly infatuation,
But it feels solely and completely real.

I don’t want him to be the boy with the green eyes.
I want him to be my boy with the green eyes.

When I see her,
The floodgates open,
And my heart closes.
I still haven’t spoken.

When you kiss her,
You smile.
I can’t help but cry;
I taste strong bile.

You hug her tight,
Her forehead against your lips.
She loves you, I can see that,
But my eyes remain fixed.

I know I should stop writing about you,
But I can’t make up my mind.
You’re taken, I realize that
But you’re perfect, your features defined.

I should look away
When you sit next to us,
But I can’t help myself.
I’ll tell you at dusk.

My words could ruin this,
And make things strange,
But I’ll give it a try,
Even if it makes me deranged.

It’ll hurt, when you say no,
And I’ll cry anyway.
And maybe, if seeing you every day is too unbearable,
I’ll fly away.

I’m not sure how you
Make me feel this way,
But it’s bad, and
I know I should hide away.

Are these tears really worth my pain?
Will I really win this game?
Both this and TBWTGE (wow, long acronym) are completely true. Just thought you'd want to know! *faints*

I am alone.
As every second passes,
The tantalizing ticking of the clock
Warns me of how much time I'm wasting.

I find myself
Wondering why I'm here.

The pale, blue walls stare at me,
And I at them.
They make me think of the sky,
And how happy I could be
If I was out there.

This sadness is nothing
Compared to what I've felt before.
The hunger doesn't matter;
I haven't eaten in a while.

I know why I'm so unhappy.
Maybe I'm melodramatic, but
I always mess everything up.

How is it, that when I
Feel so sad,
I can also feel a pleasant,
numbing indifference?
