In high school,
Everyone used to compliment me
On my smile, and good looks,
But, you possess a beauty that surpasses all others.
I stand in awe at the beauty of
Your mind, and body,
But more so than these insignificant things
I see your beauty
In your actions.
I want this to be clear,
So there is no doubt,
From here on out.
I love you, in all your magnificent beauty,
And I need you to know
You are the only one for me.
I could find fortune,
And a life of luxury, and ease
If I had chosen differently.
But, then I would lose your beauty,
And no riches on this earth
Would be worth losing a spirit
As beautiful as yours.

why wont you read my art?
it's not always about you, is that why?
you know i'm some-what worthy,
yet you don't read my art?
all the letters I've wrote to you,
                                                    all of
                                                                ­   them like
                                                            ­                         this
you nod, sneer, and you ignore my art.
AH but-
to ignore my art, is to ignore my heart.

are you afraid to look into my past,
my lusts, my introspection? is that why you don't read my art?
but if it were a painting would you ignore my art then?

is it that
MY
       WORDS
                       ARE
                                 TOO
                                         BIG
                                                       FOR
                                                                ­YOU?
*but i can write really
little
if that'll make you read my art.

Surrounded but alone
Strangers that I know
Lost in the white noise
Never ending crowds swarm
Besides them I dissapeer
Sinking into myself
My life wrapped up in a grey fog
My memory's soaked from the tears i've cried
Everyone I love says goodbye
It's made me tough
As though my hearts calloused
So I trudge on with the pool of faces
Never do I speed
never do I slow
But inside me I know
Theres no happy there's no sad in my world
You won't understand
So I'll continue to be the me you wanna see
But inside i will Always be
Surrounded, but alone
