These thoughts envelop
me like a blanket
Nurtured by pain,
comforted by death,
with the apathy tree overgrown,
I welcome thee.

I want you to play me like a guitar
Let your song be heard through me and
play my chords ever so gently,
as if you were brushing your hair
Tune my strings to your liking, for I live for you.
And let these words rain true in song, eternalized,
You and I

Take me on the road in your tattered case
Play me to get by, but don’t worry about my feelings
I’ll be just fine.
Memorize every hickey on my neck, every knick, and every fret.
But don’t fret over me.
Feel the smooth waxed skin I wear, decorated with stickers
to let the whole world know I belong to you,
because the way your hands caress me
tells me that you are mine.

Together we make the perfect song
A blissful and tragic story, that was meant to be
We’ll stay on this road forever, You and I

Cause girl, what we got is something to sing about

You say I can win your heart with poetry?
Oh boy, that’s my only shot.
Let’s hope this **** is
sure to shine this chance

I can remember it all,
like it happened ten minutes ago.

I can see it all,
like a movie in my head.

I can feel that way,
every time I see you.

It’s like my heart flutters when you enter the room.
Like, your presence keeps my heart going in that moment.
Like, when you leave my heart goes with you.

You carry my heart.
That’s fine with me.
I’ve had it for too long.
It’s gotten too damaged and it needed repairs

But the best part is you put the pieces back that were missing,
and through some sort of altering arduous amazing alchemy,
you fused my heart back together.

I was to shy to confess at first,
But I’m pretty sure you were too.
Love is a funny thing,
But we fell face first,
and I’m glad it was with you.

You warm me up everytime my arms are wrapped around you,
The times when I can just hold you tight,
and feel like I never have to let go.
You lift me up like a pep-talk,
and just make everything better.
You, so so much for me that I could never express in any language,
and I want to thank you for that.

I don’t know what I would do without you by my side,
but like some cheesy Jesse Mcartney lyrics,
I don’t want another pretty face,
I don’t want just anyone to hold,
I don’t want my love to go to waste,
I want you and you’re beautiful soul.
Cheesy yes, but isn’t this poem cheesy?
I mean I’m cheesy, right?
My point is I want you and I love you,
and nothing is going to stop that,
My love.

You say you love for me is infinite,
So is mine,
Some infinities are bigger  than other infinities,
So love me infinite,
because Olive you,
I mean, I love you.

I left the light on
when I first went with you to the store
the aroma of dough and your perfume
was as angelic as when we ate food
while we lounged around on the internet
in your wicked grimy basement.

I chased you around Wilton
and I swear there was nothing wilted in that town
all because of you.
We explored the grass field in front of the school,
and dumpster dived behind

We walked hand in hand
two miles to the waterfall
just to realize that we couldn’t actually swim there

You ate your chicken pressed up against cucumbers
I ate everything with gallons of ketchup
You ate your food chopped into small bites with sandwich meat
and I find that absolutely adorable

Will you be the leader of the broken?
Of those lost souls with cracked hearts and minds?
Will you see the day the monkeys drop their bananas,
and raise their flags?
I have traveled long and far,
seen merchants sell their false wares to naive children.
Yes I have seen the broken,
rise from their graves of doubt and rebel.
Will you have a good wolf and a bad wolf,
constantly trying to destroy the other?
Which one will you feed?
I will feed the one I know you will see at the end of the road.
When are you going to say,
when you need to bellow from the depths of your liquid soul,
filling the cracks and tears in your glass heart?
Addicted to the tears and tears I must remain.
Stained on my hands the blood must dry,
working towards the goals you will accomplish.
Will you reach the heavens you scribbled about in your notes,
those aimless days in class when the spring called out for adventure?
I have battled dragons and demons on days like those,
swinging my shining sword at the fogs.
Will you tell me more?,
for I need to be like you.
No, not now. I need to conquer the great beyond.

I've got friends with teeth broken at the gum line.
These guys can punch you so hard
you'll feel it when you think of it
I got friends who'll scare you outta your wits
the bits of stubs they call fingers,
are the most ginger thing.

These guys can **** you and not think twice
and they're the nicest people.
They know what's right and wrong.
and they're not afraid.

The way you make me feel is indescribable.
It's like a
like a
like....
uh

if I had a nickel for your spare thoughts,
you would be a nickel richer.
The thought you think so thoughtfully
folly is your reward.
Reward others,
and they will follow suit.
Suit, the garment you wear
it bessechingly pleads you
to empty your wallet.
Nay, do not pay attention
to the body,
but rather the mind.

Achieve.

Progress.

Repeat.

Infinitely, this process must repeat.

You can't forcast your chances for success.

Maybe,

your break will come.

Maybe,

this just isn't for you.

But you can't give up,

you're a star.

Shuffle on, and play your cards well.

You might not get a second good hand.

If I were a flower
you would be the lawn mower
If I were the sun,
you would be a storm
If I were an ant
you would be the cruel hand
of a child.

But if you were a drop of rain
I would be the leaf that welcomes you
in the dry summer heat.
If you were lost
I would be the star
who guides you to safety.

It seems to me the only time
I can get anything productive done is when my mind starts
to drift away.
The descent into sleep caresses my mind with soothing words
It sets my creativity free, and for an eternity
I am lost entirely within me

In due time,
these words I will refine.
Like a fine wine,
I will discover the line
to fit the rhyme.

But the time is not now.
That is okay.
To get there, improvement is how
I will look back on everything one day
To sit, laugh, and play.
Waste time away.
