What do you want me to do, So I can see that smile once more? I’ll shine the stars, I’ll hang the moon, I’ll sweep the ocean floor.

I’ll count each ring in every tree, I’ll bottle up your dreams. Give you a life so full and plenty It’s bursting at the seams.

I’ll chase away the death and grief and sadness that befall, Just to see that smile again? Darling, I’d do it all.

But for now, let us just stay here, Laying side by side. My heart and soul decided, We have nothing left to hide
This is my first poem that I've deemed good enough to even be called a poem. I now realise what was missing from all my poems before was raw emotion, because I wrote this the night after I met the most beautiful boy my world will ever know.

No Us
What greater pain is there than to yearn for the arms that never held you?
To long for the touch of hands which never held mine.
Uncertain voices over faulty lines speak words never so true.
Promises of "us", and "our" in the dead of night.

Words were all we had, yet there came a day when words were no longer enough.
When words began to hurt,
Slicing deeper than sharpest blade.
"Us", and "Our" bitterly turn to
"Me", "You", no and. No us.

Now promises echo in the stars,
Taunting me,
Like a bright sun in a bleak winter.
Words fade and crackle away,
Teaching a lesson that will never stick.
After all, it is better to yearn than to learn that love isn't meant for those who need it, but for those who want it.
I miss him.
