You held me tight
and in that moment
I didn't want you to go

All I wanted was
for my heart to be free
and I keep asking

What is right?
What is wrong?

I'm terribly sorry
for giving up so many times
but you never gave up

I'm terribly sorry
I've gone this far
this isn't the time to give up

Gaffer
She leads me down the road
Turns around, and says that she’s not sure anymore
Sometimes things go wrong
People change
Nothing stays the same
If only you could see
Hiding in the dark won’t bring us back
It only causes pain
Something that will always remain
It’s better that you go now
Turn another corner
Change your name
Nothing stays the same
Tears for yesterday will still remain
But tomorrow will ease the pain.
Seeing the ocean for the first time
Seeing it for the hundredth
Seeing it again and again but

Being numb like this
Being alone for the thousandth night

Feeling vaporous as oxygen
Feeling weary when

Seeing the ocean
I was trying to play with it being cyclical and maybe rhyming but it is kind of a mess.
My Favorite Girl
My Gorgeous Pearl
My Shining Moon
My Flying Balloon

The One That Got Away
The One I Dream Of Everyday
The One I Would Love To Play
The One With Lovin Words 2 Say

Gave me inspiration
Gave me a reason
Gave me all I needed
Gave me self esteem

Courage to face any danger
Perseverance to continue through
Spirit to recognize my faith
Endurance to keep moving through

The only star I chase around in space
The only one with that pretty face
The only person that's trapped in a maze
The only one I ponder of and daze

Tell me why can't you see...
It is you I want it to be...

Believe...    &    Heaven...
Believe In Heaven
Your presence consumes me
You electrify my body
You have awaken my soul

Let my eyes scan what's beneath that smile
Give me permission to take your breath away just like the way you took mine
Spare me a little of your love and whisper to me your desires

I want to taste your lips
I want to be buried inside your very being
Before I crush you in to a million tiny pieces just like what you did to me, darling
Run
I wish I could run like Forrest Gump.
racing towards the unreachable end
numbing my mind to fend
off the thoughts that wrestle for my attention.

The distance would be amazing.
to see every monument
every memorial and testament
to what someone can achieve.

To be greeted and paraded when I finish.
i would finally realize
that i may agonize
over life and over you but I am loved.
Finally not just a day. I personally like the organization of this poem...
