If I believed in a god I would be praying
But I don't, so I shall write my sins and sorrows down for the world to see

The nights that will be spent telling secrets are the ones I will cherish the most
Our bodies sharing the same space, even though your bed is a continent and there is more than enough room to spread out
But neither of us will want to risk the void that will lie between us
The chasm of separation that can only be mended by leaving no satin between lovers
We will watch movies and dance and dance and dance
Our feet moving slowly as I lay my head against your chest
I will let you hold me until the earth is swallowed up by the ever expanding sun
We will swap stories and music and unfinished poetry
I will distract you from everything you planned on getting done that day, but the mundane tasks you will want to complete will be no match for my terrible jokes
You will teach me how to play my poetry on the piano, and I will show you how to gently run your scarred fingers through my hair
We will light scented candles and eat stale Valentines Day candy until our bellies are full to the brim
And I will let you love me as I slowly learn to fall in love with you.

He's the North Pole and she's the South Pole and although they have a few things in common, they are total opposites and it's hard trying to run between the two of them. I am the equator and the prime meridian but I feel myself drifting. I'm becoming the Tropic of Cancer because I prefer the polar bears and his smile and it's hard to deal with the harsh winters of Antarctica. But for now I have to stay where I am so that the balance of the world will remain.

She said she loved him more than anything else on earth
Maybe it was because she actually felt for his soul
But maybe it was only because he had lived through the same hell as her
And he made it out alive
Maybe he was only a figurehead
Something she could attach the idea of hope to
The embodiment of what she wanted to be
But if this was truly the reason for her continuous affection, I will never know
Because she keeps her reasons to herself
And maybe it's better off that way

Baby I'm telling you
It's an addiction
I just can't stop
Your lips are like sugar
And your heart is like rain
And somehow I manage
To fight through the pain
Your words hold a secret
The key to my heart
But all you want to do
Is get lost in your art
I'm going through withdrawal
My heart is staring to stall
I'm slowing down to a crawl
And darling,
You're the only one with the strength to start me up again

I'm addicted to the way words fall slowly, tentatively, from your lips. They seem to sense that they have the potential to strike a chord deep within my being. Your heart-strings are poured out through soft lips, and fall upon loving ears. The time you spend meticulously searching for the most elegant way to phrase your thoughts pays off in the end. The harmonious sound of your voice lulls even the most rambunctious of crowds, and leaves them murmuring about your spoken words long after you have left the stage. And knowing it was your beautiful mind behind those words, just makes it all the more powerful.

The ocean is a metaphor
For your strength and dignity
And you bring out the best
In everyone you see
Though the waves may crash
And threaten to destroy your world
You hold your head up high
Without the help of any Lord
Your hair is golden honey
And your eyes like icy rain
The inner beauty of you soul
Shines through through all the pain
The courage of your heart
Is stronger than the greatest soldier
And I hope you'll stay and lend your strength
Even though we'll both get older
Darling, you deserve the world
Even if you don't believe it
And anything you put your mind too
I'm sure you will achieve it
For the wonderful Yvonne, who happens to love my poetry

Why did I say yes
It would have been so much easier to pretend that you weren't there
To pretend I didn't care
But you were there
You snuck into my heart
And now you will never leave
You've broken my heart
Just when I thought I had it fixed for good
You lied
You cheated
You never loved me
But still you stayed
Told me you loved me
Changed me
Made me forget who I really was
Sent me to this ******* up, unhappy little death hole
And completely and utterly destroyed my world
I can't trust monsters anymore
So go away
And DON'T EVER COME BACK
