you are there
even when i
dont really want
you around,
but, in those times
i need you most.
you beautiful,
gorgeous,
breathtaking.
and don't deny it
because you took
mine away,
no matter what anyone
may say,
you took mine away.
my affections
for you,
never
wavers
you my dear
are my favorite.
i don't desire
you because the
gifts you give,
except the one,
of your love.
just because
your not gay,
and neither am i,
doesn't mean
we can't be
gay together.
dancing through a mind field
buy your time and don't lose it

like a electric four leaf clover
you want it and can't have it

your reflex is an only child
it will take charge of your mind

your reflex will do what it wants
and leaves you with the question of what was

like a rabbit in a hat
a jinni in a bottle

you think it may be right
and yet it could be wrong
I thought you loved me,
I thought wrong,
I thought you cared,
I thought wrong,
I thought I could trust,
I thought wrong,
I thought we were forever,
I thought wrong,
I thought I'd never be okay again,
I thought wrong,
I thought I couldn't make it out of the pain,
I thought wrong..
if I could start my life over again
what would I do
what would I change

would I change my looks
would I want to be a different race

what era would I like to live in
what country would I like to live in

do I want to live on the beach
or
do I want to live on a farm

do I want to be a happy person
or
do I want to be a mean person

do I want to run things and be known
or
do I want a simple life and be unknown

so many things to think about
so hard to decide

I think I will keep it simple
and stay just the way i am
How can one know me
If they have never been in my head

How can one tell me what to do
If they do not know where I have been

How can one speak for me
If they do not know what I am thinking

How can one talk about me
If they do not no who I am

You do not know me
So who are you to judge me

i've spent so much time
loving you
and now that i've found
my self-respect
and i'm ready to move
onto the next,
i find myself lost
in a state of confusion
because for the past
three years
i've just focused on you
and now
i don't know how
to feel for another  
man

you were the first
boy that i said
'i love you' to and
really meant it...
and i've chosen
to never tell
another man that
i  love him.
because
people say
' i love you'
to get what they want
and it's accepted
and i will not
so who ever i
find myself with next
will have to except

that society's perception
of love, does not fit mine
but trust me,
i will find a way to covey
what i feel for the next,
it will just be in a
less destructive way.

flatter yourself
when you hear that
i won't tell another
man that i love him
but
bring yourself back down
when you're laughed at
because what we had
was stupid, childish, and destructive
and i don't wish to bring those
words into my next relationship
because those words are
the description of 'i love you' .

because not only have i left you behind,
but i've left all my 'i love you's' behind too.

truth be told, truth be said


i have a million thoughts hanging above my bed

time can heal wounds but words can't
i try not to recapture the images you plant

truth be told, truth be said*


i guess i'll never get you out of my head

it'll probably take me years
but with that i'll try not to shed a tear
let me start off, right here

we
walk with our feet
work with our hands
speak with our mouths
see with our eyes
hear with our ears
           &
fall to our knees in anguish
cause violence with our hands
break people down with our words
cry tears of pain
hear only the things we want to
           &
jump on our feet with happiness
comfort with our hands
encourage with our words
cry tears of joy
hear the giggles and laughter of innocent children
