This driving force
That compels society,
It sikens me,
Is it all we think about?

To find one so perfect
To perform such a deed,
Am I just too old school
For a world as fresh as this?

Young in body old in mind
I'm not fit for this era,
Media splattered with ******
And I want none of it

Strange I am indeed,
I've been the desire of many
But I've given in to none
This is my body, my life

I chose what to do with it
Though you may think I seek one thing
I shun that very thing away
But why so harsh?

Isn't it just a natural act?
Every living thing does this,
Yet I wont participate
Why? Why indeed.

I thought I didn't have to turn on the lights to find you/
I figured you'd be right here standing by me like you use to/
Now I am alone and crazy hoping all my wildest dreams come true/

What's the point in wishing for love?/
It's snug fit holds our heart like a glove/
From a doctors hand that reaches in and pulls out
A gift from above/

I hope my love for you becomes taboo/
So that it doesn't hurt so much when I look at you/
And songs on my radio that remind me of you fade away with you too.

If you came crawling back I would marvel your action/
And wonder what made your mind side with this faction/
You claimed you didn't love me/
So everything I see before me is acting.

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
My mind would be fresh as the morning dew/
And I would know exactly how to love you

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
So I would know what to do when I am around you

I just wish I knew love so I won't have to
Feel the way that I do.

The thought of staring in your eyes clouds my mind like a storm/
With winds that's sure to leave most of its contents torn
In the form of a queen who moves peacefully and serene/
In a flash destroying her path creating a different scene

I use to hate hearing "you got it bad" growing up/
Now when the first chord strikes all I can think about is throwing up/
You've caused me so much grief a blind man could see fields of the times I've given up.

Maybe I am just young and I still have much to learn/
And when love comes around again I will have my turn/
And the scars you left will no longer burn/
And the tears that fell will all dry away/
Making me anew like opening my eyes to a new day/
But until then

I wish I knew love like the old folks do/
My mind would be fresh as the morning dew
And I would know what to do when I am around you/

I just wish I knew love so I won't have to
Feel the way that I do.

Sometimes I want to wake up from dreaming
And see that I'm still here
I want to keep on breathing
Open my eyes and have the world be clear
I want the pain to go away
And the world to be right
I want the happiness to stay
And give up the fight
Sometimes I see it in a bottle of pills
Takes my whole being just to quit
Knowing after a handful too many will ****
And my mom will take the hardest hit
I just have to be strong if not for me for them
I've got to pull through and be the strongest I've ever been

This is one of those love poems
That young lovers tend to write
When they find that special someone
They think about morning, noon, and night

When the dull world that they once knew
Shines a brighter shade
Like any other love poem that you've read
On any other given day

It talks about when the one you love
Turns around and smiles
How with the kiss of wind the clouds disappear
And the sun comes shining out

Filled with a sugary sweetness
That drips from off the page
Though you've heard this in every love poem before
It still has the need to say

There's an essence to your beauty
How life sparkles when you smile
The way it is I feel for you
Is what this poem is all about

And though it's all been said before
In many poems up to this day
Thought I'd go ahead and take this chance
To say it any way

There is a bit of difference
And the evidence does hold true
This poem your holding in your hands
Was written especially for you
