The smell of your soft skin close to mine.  
The taste of your pink lips.    
My soul is for you to keep.
Close.
To you.
The sparkle in your hazel eyes it's what keep the fireworks alive you're my fourth of July .

When what makes them
t i c k. is known,
they are thrown
away like beer cans
in sand.
My wife must be
a lady
I will never understand.

i’m 6
you’re tall like a “big kid”
i’m small, i fit in your lap
you like pokémon cards
[and the spice girls, that’s our secret]
last week you tried to runaway
you didn’t know where to go, came home
you should have gone
under the table

i’m 13
i have the coolest brother because
you work at an amusement park and
this roller coaster is fast
[your friends say your girlfriend is, too]
you aren’t mikey anymore but
not michael II either because
you’re purging daddy out
so you go by mike

i’m 17
i’m watching your band
again and
your phone keeps ringing
[she’s calling about mike’s baby]
i think i’ll pick it up, mikey
tell her you still like the spice girls

i’m 22
cleveland state?
it’s part of her deal
you’re stuck in ohio
[just like daddy]
but you’re getting out of columbus:
i gave you bus fare
under the table

another day of exhaustion
after another sleepless night
not knowing where to run
and too mightless to fight.

the world around me seems blacker
than it did yesterday
but with these storms in my mind, thunder, lightning,
the dark is here to stay.

no more reason to live,
no reason to go on
I sit here all alone
waiting for the dawn

when the sun rises,
and when the moon fades
I'll still be here alone
being stabbed with thorns and blades.

once upon a time, life was hopeful,
and I had reason to push through
but now I'm here, all alone,
and all I have is you.

but will you ever realize?
will you ever even care?
will you ever admit it's love?
Would you even dare?

it's true, my answer would be no,
for I am slight and weak.
I would merely zip my mouth
like a bird who'd lost its beak.

but you are strong, you are wise,
you are brilliant and bold.
you- you are my one true love;
my dearest treasured gold

it's true- I love you, I will not lie,
please believe and know.
and if, by chance, you feel the same,
please just tell me so...

oh,
dead
sleeping
snoring
college student,
i have the strangest
affection
for you.
drooling
wheezing
beauty
you lie on your desk
like a spilled milkshake in a parking lot
occasionally mumbling
things about
classes
and rap lyrics
finally,
a man who understands
my ideals.

I said "Leave me alone"
But I really want you to stay by my side
Wanting to feel you more.

I said "I'm fine"
Though I'm really not
While pretending I'm really just fine.

I said "I don't love you"
But when you look into my heart,
You'll see your name written all over it.

I said "I moved on"
Though I'm still under the shadows of my past
Not letting me move forward.

I said "I surely can do it"
But there are a lot of doubts and fear inside me
Putting my hopes down.

I said "I'm brave and strong"
Though I have never been that tough enough
Always being afraid of going beyond my comfort zone.

I said "I'm like an open book"
But the truth is I have never let anyone see the whole real me
Still hiding under my shell like a frightened turtle.

Sometimes, what I said is not what I really mean
Making others confused of my real thoughts and feelings.
