I really made a mess of this
As I looked into your eyes
You said, "Bury me in fiction
Or give me truth I can't deny"

The truth is all I had was me
And a thousand little lies
I almost wish I told a few
Before you said goodbye

a dried rose from a first date
lays on my sill
its been two years since then, but
ive kept it still

You’re the only one
Who understood me
Yet, that was just a
Misunderstanding
A mediocre translation from Turkish colloquial

So long did I
Avoid recognizing
This play for
What it was.

No stars aligned,
No fire radiated
A single sign to
Pull me from these lines.

Long ago,
Deep below,
Treasures in the night
Only waited...

What was I thinking?
I could never let this go.
Forever is a long time
To be sinking...

So long have I
Gone without deciding.
So long, dear life
I'll never know...

I’m trying to think of a better line
than this
But I’m stuck between your eyes and
this kiss

My 400th poem
Sleep

At this point in life, I don't really care
whether I'm wrong or right.
I'll be whoever, whatever I have to be.
As long as I can fall asleep at night.

I wonder if I really am kind hearted.
Most people think it’s true,
But maybe I’m just afraid of being mean-
Maybe I’m afraid of being you.

I smile again through all of it,
sipping dreams one at a time
through the pain and the broken bits!
believing that it's my time to shine!

Your shadow still lurks behind it all
but brighter the sun still shines
You were the reason for it all
but now you only exist in these petty lines

thankful for the gift,
I found a new me
Apart we sure did drift
but confident I still splee
splee is slang for joyful squeal
