Losing friends
Giving life
Taking stride
Losing pride
Not giving up
But giving in
Was not a waste
I really tried
Can say I earned
I say I learned
We played with fire
Both got burned
It's all but passed
Set at half mass
It's all but buried
Under the grass

Give my life
To the ones
That were there
For me before
Give my strife
To all the ones
That left me standing
Out at the door
For those of you
That did not make it
You are not gone
I'll not forsake it

Meet me there at the gates....

Thirty-six-hundred times Three-sixty-five
That's how many seconds
Next year will survive
Then onto another
Then another again
We are but finite
A means to an end

Your clock will stop ticking
Make up for what's lost
Bring yourself to my door
No matter the cost
I want you to love me
Be more than a friend
Then I'll need you to love me
Again and again

I know it is far
Many miles away
But the road too, is finite
I'll cherish the day
That I get to love you
Again and again
We'll be perfect in love
Right up to the end

We'll conquer this land
Every city and town
Love lifted us up
She won't put us down
We'll take over the world
If it takes us forever
But surely we can
If we do it together

We have never been two
But two halves of a whole
When I get there to you
We'll again have our soul
Just wait for me baby
It will not be that long
Til we're there side-by-side
Singing our songs.......

i like
to think that on
the flower you gave me when we
loved

          the far-
departed mouth sweetly-saluted
lingers.
            if one marvel

seeing the hunger of my
lips for a dead thing,
i shall instruct
him silently with becoming

steps to seek
your face     and i
entreat,by certain foolish perfect
hours

         dead too,
if that he come receive
him as your lover sumptuously
being

kind
because i trust him to
your grace,and for
in his own land

he is called death.

I wrote you a love poem but you'll never read it.
I wrote about your red hair
        blue eyes
        fair skin
        brown hair
        hazel eyes
        olive complexion
        your prefect breast
        your curly locks
        your red lips
        the things you said
        the things you did
        how smart you are
        and funny too
        how you knew what to say
        how you drove me insane
I wrote about how you hair was like fire
        and reminded me of your personality
        and how I never would expect you to bow down to anyone
                or anything
I wrote about your lovely smile
        and how it would light up the night
        even if you were faking it
                and I could always tell when you were faking it
I wrote about how you had an aura of purity
        which is why most men where scared of you
        how I've always respected that about you
                and how I was never scared of you
I wrote you a love poem but you'll never read it
        because we never made love
        because it was just *** to you in the end
        because you said 'I love you' like a chess player making their next move
        because your unconditional love had it's condition
        because you've got me sitting at the crosswords of what is to be a cynic and a poet
        and I find it's easy to just be both
But don't get upset, thinking you've wronged me
        or to excited because you had some impact
        because in the end -
I wrote you a love poem and you'll never read it.

Dear Love,

Yes, here I am again
Knocking on your door
I know I should have learned
The last time
But I thought this was different
I met him over the summer
Didn't think much of it
Didn't know I was going
To fall so fast...
Into you
His smile captured me
His eyes made me feel alive again
He made me think about you
When I thought I had given up
He made me believe there was a chance
Of falling under your spell again
Oh, god, I know I need to stop
But you keep pulling me back
Over and over again
And every time I think I have you
You're gone, slipped away
You tricked me again
I thought maybe...
He would change my luck with you

Do you enjoy my suffering?
What am I supposed to learn from this?
I need you so badly
Without you, I feel empty
What's wrong with a warm touch?
A gentle kiss?
Sweet words whispered?

Can I hold you
Just for a brief moment?
So I can know what it truly feels like
Let me taste it,
Even for only a second
I want to remember the flavor
And once again
You'll slip through my fingers
And find your way out of my heart

Were we never meant to be?
