if only she knew
Matthew O'Reilly Jun 2015
She has her own special way
Of turning around my terrible day
She makes all the bad things go away
The second that she says hey

And when I look into her eyes
I see pure beauty with no disguise
Just a glance at her makes my heart beat rise
I know for a fact that these feelings aren't lies

If only she knew
How much my love for her grew
Maybe, just maybe we could start something new

And if beauty was inches, she'd go on for miles
I better catch her before I go out of style
I'm going to let my heart be my dial
So I can tell her what I've been feeling for awhile
Matthew O'Reilly Apr 2015
Life is like snakes and ladders
every day is unexpected with challenges
some days you will climb a ladder finishing tasks
other days you slide down because of a snake in your life
but in the end you will reach the end and look back at your challenges and you will know you rolled the the dice the right way

what if love was a person
Matthew O'Reilly Dec 2014
What if love was a person
We could see their emotions
Give them happiness
Keep them away from sadness

What if love was a person
We could see their inner desires
We could fill their soul with a joy
That can hardly be done

What if the person that was the was you
The person I've been inlove with
The lady that fills my deepest desires of love
The lady that is true

perfection
Matthew O'Reilly Feb 2015
Your eyes are like the moon, I could look into them the whole night and never stop smiling. Your smile is like the light, blinding and beautiful and amazing to see every time, your hands are like a soft toy, once holding, I will never want to let go, the feel of your kiss is like heaven has opened to me and sent me an angel of love. Your soul is like a fire, burns brightly through any darkness, your heart is like a drum, every time I hear your heart beat, I want to dance to the beat. If this is a dream, I never want it to end cause if perfection is non existent, you are the closet I've ever seen

secret admirer
Matthew O'Reilly Jun 2015
I've never been the type to say what I feel
So basically I keep everything inside
And with you it was no different
I want to tell you, believe me I've tried

But there's part of me that just can't take that chance
So I doubt that you'll ever know
Which may be fine with you, but it's hurting me
I choose not to show it though

I guess I'm your secret admirer
That name seems to fit just right
I don't know what I like about you
But you're on my mind, day and night

Maybe it's the way you look
So **** I can't get enough
Or how you make me feel when you come around
I instantly forget all other stuff

Maybe it's the way you say my name
Or maybe it's the way you smile
Then again it might just be everything
Getting to know you seems worth my while

But I guess I'll never know what it is
My true feelings I could never reveal to you
I'll just admire you from a distance
I'm not sure what else there is to do

you are my drug
Matthew O'Reilly Mar 2015
You are a drug I love
A drug I could take every day
A drug that never bores me
You are the drug that makes me happy
A drug that can make me smile
A drug that can make me wild
You are my drug
The only one I will ever want

my family
Matthew O'Reilly Mar 2015
My mom would give me give me a steak to remove the ache
My brother would give me a game to remove my pain
My father would give me a crown to remove my frown

Each family member has made me smile
For each of them I have a vile
Fulled with love

Each family member has a spot in my heart
For being playing a part
In my life
Always give back to your parents for they are the ones that brought you up <3

Say yes
Matthew O'Reilly Oct 2016
Say yes, and we could surf the highest waves,
Your hand in mine, never losing faith.
We could climb Mt. Everest, and as we gasp for air,
You'll say you love me,
And I you.

We could do handstands in the sky,
And you'll catch me when I fall.
I'll take you to the stars and leave you in utter awe.
And though standing on a comet with you is absolutely reckless,
Loving you is even more so; but I'm happily helpless.

Say yes, and some days will be not only spring,
But we will endure the harsh days winter will bring.
Together we will face somber rainy days,
But with you by my side we can wait for summer's sunny rays.
We will know what makes each other cringe,
But hey, we'll take it inch by inch.

And though some days you will be too tired to fly with me,
I will heal your broken wings.
'Cause our love will exceed that of the highest degree,
And we will take willingly what life brings.
So say yes,
And take my hand; we will learn to tango.
Every step we will master.

relive every moment
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
If I could travel back to any time
I'd travel to see your smile again
I'd go to hold your hands one last time
To feel my heart jump again
To feel my heart race at the thought of you
All I ever wanted is you
I just need you to smile
To make my heart melt with joy
Your my love forever

My pain
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
My pain is not a game
This strength of evil is growing
While I am going beneath the world
While the pressure of pain is in my mind
The texture of blood is my only gain
Death is a constant in my life
**** is my only fight from this pain
I only wanted a savior
From this depression
Life is a burden upon me
Let this be a lesson

Will you be mine?
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
I lost your track many times
Now such a thought is lethal
That time you made me realize
That your nothing but ethereal
With a beautiful soul
Golden values in your heart
You are a girl of integrity
And prettiest on this behalf
The face of a naughty child
Wearing the purest smile
Oh girl you rule my heart
From a distance of a hundred miles
I need to announce
I don't need to declare
I just need to confess
I need to share
Oh my pearl
Oh my charm
Love brought me this courage
And I have to ask
I have to ask
If you will be with me
Till eternity ends
To the day I breathe my last breath

Spring
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
The cool breeze of a warm day
The feeling of white winter leaving
And the colorful spring arriving
With the beautiful fields of roses
Of white, red and pink
This beauty that is rarely seen because
The sky is clear
The breeze is cool and fresh
And I'm here with you
Feeling warm even though I'm cold
The roses smell disappears I smell your hair
The field becomes non existent while i close my eyes you're there
You make me smile
You make my heart jump for joy
You are the lady that I will be my princess forever

Love follows everyone
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
If love was a person
That person would love all
This person would sacrifice their life to make you smile
What if love was a rose
Love would smell beautiful
Love would be Devine
What if love was a dove
It would fly high without a worry
Her wings would soar forever
No one can be sure what love is
But we can still try find out

It all starts with a smile
Then two hands combine
And as two souls become one
They make their own love
That no other can share

My angel
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
I can't tell you enough,
How much you really mean to me
All the stars in the night sky
Could not sum up my feelings for you
Every time I want to speak to you
All I can say is i love you
Einstein may be smart but he does not know
That with my mouth I say sincerely from my heart
I LOVE YOU
If god looked down upon me,
His love to the world could not measure to what I feel for you
Girls could say they love me but my heart truly belongs to you
So please answer this one question
While I'm on my knee
Will you marry me?

falling in love
Matthew O'Reilly Jun 2015
I always knew that love would come find me someday
but never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way
you caught me off guard and took me by surprise
but you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes

It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above
you were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humor, talent, intelligence, beauty and love
"it isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
we all have our flaws but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see

From when you laugh to when you're upset, I still love the little things you do
especially hearing you laugh and seeing your nose wrinkle the same way mine does too
coming into this relationship has been hard at times but we've made it through
I know as long as we're on this journey together, there's nothing that we can't do.

Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true
too scared to get my heart broken and scared of the thought of losing you
but in the end, I trust in the author and perfecter of what I believe
because what we ask for in Him, we in return shall receive

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also" is how the saying goes
I may not know what tomorrow may bring, for God is the only one who knows
the one thing I do know is that you are my one and only
a treasure in my heart that I want to devote my whole life to completely

I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
because what I've known in my past, doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you
I've had the experience of being in relationships before
however, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more
it's an honor to know that I am yours, as you are mine
and I trust God that He'll bring us together in His beautiful time

For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together
that precious moment in time when I'll say, "it's you that I want to be with forever"
God made everything beautiful, precious and new
just as beautiful and precious as the day will be, when I look into your eyes and say, "I Love You"

Thief
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
Your heart is like gold from a bank
Untouched
Perfect condition
One day I will be thief to steal that gold
To keep in my home forever
Where I show you what it means to be free
Why freedom should be for all
The joy when you don't fall
The gleam of hope you give
I shall never spend or use you
You are a treasure
My only treasure
To my heart
Love is priceless. Never take it for granted

The hero
Matthew O'Reilly Jul 2015
Super heros are always the ones saving the day
but anyone can be a hero
Just by a simple smile and "have a good day" to a stranger
A hug to someone who is sad
an "I love you" to the ones left out
A simple compliment like "nice hat" or "I like your smile" can make anyones day

All it costs is a little bit of time
Just to show that anyones day is made by simple things that doesn't cost much and even if it doesn't benefit you physically. Emotionally you will be benifited with a warm heart and a smile :)

A precious deed
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
A simple smile
An energetic hello
A big hug
A cute wink
Lost in an eye
Holding hands
A simple kiss
An "I love you"
Can be a good deed
To make anyone's day
To give the kiss to someone else
Getting lost in their eyes
Giving a cute wink
Giving the biggest hug you can
A sad goodbye
Smiling away
Making someone's day
This poem is to say any simple thing done to another can make their day and they could spread the good deeds to others through simple things to make everyone's day a precious day

Flaws
Matthew O'Reilly Aug 2015
Love a lady and you will have a princess.
Love a lady and accept her flaws and you will have a queen.

Love a man and you will have a prince.
Love a man and accept his flaws and you will have a king.
Love someone for who they are and you will be surprised how happy you will make them :)

i wrote your name

When I was born
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
When I has born
My destiny was made
The doctors said "he will make his own future"

When I was eight they gave me a block of wood and said
"create what your future will be"

I was eighteen
The doctors returned and the block was unchanged
They asked "why?"

My future was sitting right next to me
The girl I'd fallen for
The girl that has a heart of gold
I didn't need to craft anything for my future
Because you are my future
Because my destiney is you
Make life how you want it to be, create your own path

my desire
Matthew O'Reilly Dec 2014
My desire of greed
My desire of lust
Has turned into dust

My desire for pain
My desire hatred
Has scorched

My desire for you
My desire for your heart
Is never ending

I have lost my path too many times
But you were there to pick me up
To show me the steps to life
I found love after every step
As you helped me along

You are my heart
You are my soul
You make me whole

And my desire for you has burnt into thin air
Cause my desire of you has been replenised by your kiss of love

positives, not negatives
Matthew O'Reilly Feb 2015
Look at life as a half full glass of water, not half empty
Look at life like a pin, at points life will poke you but at others its soft and solid,
Look at life like a dove, its not large but you can soar high,
Look at life like its your partner, there will be ups and downs but you must never give up,
Life will always throw negatives at you but make sure to always see the positives of life and you will stand out with a smile

Her beauty
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
Her beauty is unparalleled
It is a sort of beauty that will only ever be found once
She wanders the world not realizing how beautiful she is to me
Her hair is a soft blonde like the suns rays gently touching me
Her eyes are an ocean blue that hide a secret sort of sadness
A sadness that that reflects a glimmer of hope for a better time
Even thou she protests and disagrees
She does not realize she is of a beautiful girl who graces my ever so tragic life with her amazing personality
Her beautiful smile
Her soft spoken words
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is with you

what if
Matthew O'Reilly Mar 2015
When you see the person you like
Don't ask what if he/she doesn't like me
Don't ask what if they mock me
Don't ask what if I'm a loser to them
Never doubt yourself.
If they reject you then they are missing out on how amazing the nerd is, how cute the geek is, how the rejected are truly the ones who are close to perfection
For everyone that has gone through a lot

This endless pain
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
From that word I dreaded
My heart broke
From my tear
All darkness returned
In an instant
The illusion disappeared
Reality reappeared
I couldn't let go but you already left
My nightmare of loosing you became real
The lady I once loved
Now was a figment of my imagination
My memories slowly faded
My heart never let go of you
Because of this a knife to the heart was the only way
This was to teach myself not to love
I pulled out the knife and my heart was still beating
This pain is endless just because of that one word I hated to hear
"goodbye"

Truth
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
If life was truth, we would all be dead
If love was truth, there would be no such word
I only ever saw pain in the world till I saw you
I forgot about life
I forgot about love
I forgot about everything
All I could think of was you
Your eyes shining through the dark
Your smile penetrating the pain
All I felt was this beat in my heart for you
I'd be a fool to think you would love me
I'd be a fool if I tried talking to you
But you're the one that came to me
Hugged me
Smiled your smile to me
And I felt her heart beating quickly
Our hearts bonded as if we were soul mates
Our eyes connected and I got lost in an ocean of love
I opened my eyes
There you were
Walking down the aisle
With that stunning smile
Those enchanting eyes
I knew we would be together forever
Because you loved me for being a boyfriend that can always make you smile through your darkest times
You are my love for all eternity

my love for you
Matthew O'Reilly Dec 2014
My love for you is like an ocean
Far and wide
My love for you is like a candy floss
Soft and sweet
My love for you is like a fire
Its never ending
My love for you is like a black hole
Its huge and only wants more
My love for you
Shall never end

The mystery
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
The mystery
The only mystery
The pain in your eyes
The happiness in your life, what lies
The only mystery about you was your pain
But now it's history
You are in another world
Which we have yet to see
All this misery
Must end
And it all began with that one lie
About your life
RIP bouchette you will be forever missed. This poem is for you

For you
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
For you I'd cross swim the deepest of oceans
Just to see your eyes
For you I'd cross the driest of deserts
To see your smile
For you I'd steal your heart
To see you cry tears of joy

My heart may be a black hole
Your heart is the only one that can full that black hole
My heart may be a fire
Your heart is the only that keeps my heart cool

Your heart is magical
Your heart has the strength
Your heart has any power to make any dark entity smile
You could be angel for all we know

But to me your a gorgeous mortal
Who is ever so talented in love
Your heart could only be a jewel found once in a life time
You are the jewel to my heart
You are my one and only
These poems are for someone :P

numbing the pain
Matthew O'Reilly Mar 2015
Dreams torn to pieces, broken like glass
Hope faded away, withered like leaves
Not knowing is blessing, ignorance the only protection

Nothing is numbing my pain
The fragments of my faith
Became the blade in my hand
Just darkness my eyes see
Pushed me to the end of all dead-end-streets

A curse - cannot lie to myself
I'm doomed - can*t silence my heart
Fear is the tool, conformity our medicine

Nothing is numbing my pain
The fragments of my faith
Became the blade in my hand
Just darkness my eyes see
Pushed me to the end of all dead-end-streets

How can I smile as this age dies, like everybody else
Dancing around the fire, that burns this world
the fire, that burns this world

Cannot bend down, I would just break
I hate myself for playing their game
Parents poison their children, never teach them to question

Nothing is numbing my pain
The fragments of my faith
Became the blade in my hand
Just darkness my eyes see
Pushed me to the end of all dead-end-streets

If it only wasn't for this certainty in me
I am a giant in their tiny world

If this world
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
If this world was made out of gold
I'd leave it for you
If this world was made out of notes
I'd drop every one for you
If this world was a diamond
I'd carve you into it
If this world was a fire
You would be my flame
If this world was music
You would be my beat

You are my world
The only one I want
To protect forever

one wish
Matthew O'Reilly Jan 2015
If I had one wish
The decision of what to wish for
Would not be easy

I could wish for the world
Wish for the mistakes I made to go vanish

I could wish to have an easy life
To have all the money to have a mansion

I could wish for all problems in my life disappear

But that one wish, I don't need it
I have my one wish
Having you in my life was my one wish and it came true in an instant

That one wish, has come to true because of your love

what is true love?
Matthew O'Reilly Jun 2015
How do you know when your love is true and that you are not just fooling yourself? How do you know that you are not merely infatuated with each other? How do you know that this is a relationship that has lasting power? The truth is that these are only questions that can be answered with experience. It may take a few bad relationships before you know how to be in a good one. Another tip is to try to use your head before you get your heart involved. If it makes sense on paper, chances are it is a good decision. It is only when you ignore the warnings that your brain is giving you that you may get into trouble.

Depression
Matthew O'Reilly Jul 2015
Depression is a killer
a drug that will **** in the end and only needs to be taken once

Depression is a destroyer
a disease that eats at your heart

Depression is a demon
consumes your life and destroys your happiness

Depression is a monster
caused by an endless amount of pain emotionally or physically past a persons limit

Depression is the grim repear
can take away life because of small and continuous amounts of pain caused by the ones that are supposed to love and care for you

Depression
a sad disease that is common

A sad time for all those that do right but get nothing but a blade in their back

A life that will end quickly that no one will even try remember
just cause no one gave that person a chance to be loved

Just cause of a disease called depression

The shapes of the clouds can take the form of a any shape, I'd want the shape of your heart.
If any shape I'd love to see you.
To see your smile one last time that could brighten up anyones day.
If they say love could be in any form, I'd be on a cloud with you away from the world holding your hand and hearing your gentle voice for all eternity

Stars in the sky
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
I saw stars in the sky and they were bright
I was reminded of you
How through all your darkness and pain
You shined brighter than the sky
You showed what no one else had
A smile so beautiful
Your eyes so wonderful
A heart of gold
And a soul so tender
I wished I was in the sky with you

I felt a warm hug with a strong beating heart
A smile so lovely
And eyes that would steal your heart

Nothing mattered as long as she was with me and she had that smile so pure with love
Matthew O'Reilly Jan 2015
The wish that won't come true
Could it be love in my heart...?
No
Could it be the friends I ask for...?
No
Could it be the family I want...?
No
The wish that won't come true that I want
Peace and love amongest the world
Every soul is kind and gentle
Every soul is soft and sweet
Every soul is a great soul
If only...
That would be my perfect wish for the world
If the world was like this. Everyone could smile without a problem every day

With my heart
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
The words "one for all, all for one"
This makes me think of how you make everyone happy
While everyone returns it with a smile or a hug
I want to return the favor by writing you this poem
To show you mean a lot to me
That you are the provider of happiness
The giver of joy
And the one that never gives in
You are the lady with a soul that has an infinite amount of strength
A heart so strong it will never stop beating for this world
a life so beautiful that every night everyone dreams of you
All you dream of is to be accepted by the one you love
That day will come when it's too late for anyone to see your pure heart
Strong mind
And loving soul
You shall be remembered for all you have done
Never give in to any pain
Where there is goodness there is strength
I wish I could say Im the one that loves you
The one that protects you forever
The one that shows you happiness when you can only see darkness
For you are my love
My only love

what is love?
Matthew O'Reilly Nov 2014
Love can be the flowers I give you
Love can be the beauty in your eyes
Love can be us under the stars
Love can be a fire in your heart
Love can be the crazy things I do for you
Love can be the butterflies you give me in my stomach
I don't know what love is
But I do know whatever it is I will always find a way to love you

— The End —
