that boy which i thought was
perfect, really wasn't

he had flaws just  like
anybody else, he
wasn't the smartest person
around
but i loved him so.

that boy that hurt me in the end
really didn't know what
he was doing, so i forgave him.

that boy which was only a star in the sky,
but i knew he was my world.

but that boy, that boy that
i can keep writing about,
really did have a big part in my life
which i will never forget.

oh, and how i loved him so.
this really isn't a poem just some thoughts.
You don't tell your friends that suicide is selfish. You tell them that they're loved.

your eyes are as blue as the ocean
and my hair is as blonde as the sun

together we both make the perfect beach day

but sometimes
you become dark

and that's when it storms

you become the dull grey sky

I try to light you up but it only makes things worse
and I guess that makes me the lightening

It may be dark and stormy

but what's a storm without lightening?

and what would the ocean be like if there was no sun?

what would I be like if i didn't have you?

I have a strong feeling I'm about to find out soon

maybe they were right
and maybe sometimes there's no calm before the storm

sometimes the storm just randomly hits,
hard

and maybe one day,
It won't clear up

A painting may be a thousand words
but a thousand paintings can't paint her
A flower living off her own sunlight
A broken mirror that reflects inner beauty

Now all I've got are photos
Some sepia, digital, black and white
Though the colours don't really matter
Because my heart is black and blue

The memory in my camera
Is smaller than my memory of you
I remember everything that you do
And I'll never delete it.

Now, you're just in a picture frame,
And I need a new frame of mind.
Another note left in the hallways.
There must be a poet on the loose.
