Who am I?
Perhaps some long forgotten
Poets sigh
A tear unnoticed, that rolled down a cheek
And through the weight of years still tries to speak.
Why take up my cross
Why care
Or tear your heart again with my prayer
Why?
If I knew
I would lay down my life
For you.
I saw such a thing of beauty near the aisle--
She was shimmering,
Her teeth was shining
And with that she wore the perfect smile.

One day, she wore a white dress.
Like an angel in the sky--
Perhaps, she could even make me fly!

We were soon to part and--
I couldn't let it pass
So I've decided to say, "Hey,"
Hello to you a thing of beauty.

She smiled and laughed at me--
It was annoyingly amazing.
It was like a fantasy, fantastic.

Her laughter, what a beautiful start.
She's lovely, like a sparkling star.
I didn't expect much at all--
But from nothing to something; it's a beginning.

Days have passed and each day I miss seeing my thing of beauty--
Each day my duty is more adoration for you truly.
This thing of beauty that I once could only stare at;
Is now somewhat a part of me that they can look at.

Once, this thing of beauty called out my eyes.
"They are shining, and sparkling!" She said.
For I, myself, didn't even realize this so
But I wondered, is that such a bad thing though?

In that very moment I knew,
that maybe the both of us were scared.
It was indeed terrifying,
but only because it was real.

With reality, mistakes are inevitable
and to her I may be unbearable.
I am to blame for my shortcomings,
To win her back, I'd do all sorts of things

Mistakes have been made,
goodbyes have been told.
Hope is what remains ---
for this heart that unknowingly complains.
To the one I hope would come back
Im pushing hard with all i've got
Yet nothing is ever good enough
I am racing to the finish line
I am clawing to the top
My body keeps on growing old
While my mind is stuck in time
I lose more than I seem to win
The balance is not right
I know one day....
That I'll be dead,
It just feels...
wrong

New to HP hope you enjoy :)
I need answers
Right at this moment
I love you
And I would leave anything
Or everything behind
For you.

Dear, I know
I have too many questions
On my mind
But please
Couldn't you just answer one?

I wanna know
If I'm falling
And you would be there
To catch me?
Time and distance can never tear my feelings for you.

I have these ideas but they wont come out
I stop myself
before I get too loud
thoughts,
better left unspoken
acted upon would leave me broken
shattered,
like glass under pressure
jealousy,
it drives me to be better

but better than who?

*you
I need to be better than them
for fear their achievements
would be more attractive to you
than me
