I'm a waste space..
                                                         ­                                     you're just in a rut.
I've got to get out of this place.
                                                          ­                                 you think to much..
I always see her face.
                                                           ­                                    I know, it's rough.
life really *****.
                                                          ­                           would you just shut up?
But, I'm so weak..
                                                          ­                  you're stronger then you look
I can't even sleep
                                                           ­                              why not read a book?
Because, I don't want to
I'm in too much pain,
something you wouldn't get
it's no wonder you're sane.
                                                           ­                                    Is their ever a time
                                                                ­you don't have something to blame?
                                                          ­                                                   honestly,
                                                             I'm tired of playing these head games.
See!
you're done with me,
just like everyone else.
                                                           ­                well that's not the proper way
                                                             ­                     if you're in a cry for help.
then tell me, please
what do I do?
                                                             ­                first off, you can't be so rude.
                                                           ­         second thing, stop crying boo hoo!
just be quiet..
                                                         ­         no, it's something you need to hear.
I don't want you to talk!
                                                           ­                                   I'm being sincere..
                                                       ­                                       I remember a time
                                                            ­                  when you didn't give a ****
                                            and now just because, you're down on your luck
                                                  doesn't give you an excuse to always give up!
...
                                                         ­                                       you're so strong,
                                                         ­                           stronger then you know
                                                            ­                   yet, you're always so ready
                                                           ­                         to jump out the window.
                                                         ­                                   It's not just your life
                                                            ­                                            it's mine too,
                                                            ­         and I've been through everything
                                                                ­                                 the same as you.
...
                                                        ­                               are you even listening?
                                                      ­                  do you care what I have to say?
I'm so sorry,
I just want this to go away...
                                                         ­      I promise you it will, only some day..
                                                   although, until then you've got to be patient.
..
                                                     ­                 You should look towards the sky
                                                 yet, don't scream above asking God "Why!?"
                                                         ­                Instead, just try to live your life
                                                                ­ you've always been so **** bright.
hmm..
well maybe you're right..
I can't just give up
I've gotta fight!
Thank you so much for clearing my sight.
                                                          ­                                         Don't thank me
                                                              ­                         we're gonna be alright.
I know we are,
it's just I get scared.
                                                         ­                                           Well that's why
                                                             ­                  we'll always come prepared
and no matter what happens
I know we'll share
the same kind of ending.                    -                     the same kind of ending.

In our quiet moments of burning brilliance
we shine like sparks
flashes in the dark
cooling as we touch the world
our hearts and minds
reignite what little light remains
Sometimes our most beautiful moments are the most fleeting, never to be captured on film or paper

You're my walking song
You right my wrongs
You walk with grace
in flowing lace
You're my song unsung
You're my walking song

You're my child
on their way
I hold you when you need me to
You're my walking song

It's a song unsung
This song we've begun
It's a melody caught in the breeze
It comes with the wind
And is gone towards the sea
It's a cumulus cloud unfolding
into a red red sky
It's a melody I hear
through my night time
window

You're my walking song
You've been delivered to me
My lips
My life
My love
is singing

My eyes are seeing the notes
before me

You're my song unsung
You're my walking song.
For parents everywhere in those magic spaces

Like Boxing

Poetry should be like boxing,
Short, swift, and powerful.
To the point and presented so that you never see it coming.
A hook, a jab, a firm right cross.
Hard hitting and unforgiving,
Never what you are expecting.
Watch it on your cable boxes,
Cheer and scream till you're obnoxious,
Because poetry should be like boxing.
HOLY COW GUYS!!! Thanks for all of the love and support you guys and gals have shown for this piece. Thank you!!!!! Jab, jab, hook!

Never have I thought
Not for one second
That I regret
To have ever loved you

she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt,
"lie to me again."
she whispered although
her heart ached to hear his response.

"i love you."
he replied
without any remorse.
