I see a light inside of you
Helplessly I am drawn towards it
Yet I realize no harm will come to me
While I am in the rays of your inner light
I cherish the light you offer
For it is one of a kind and pure

To know that it has been squandered
And abused
Taken for granted
And used
Makes me feel rage deep within my very being
But sorrow mostly
Because your light deserves to shine
And loved by those who understand
What they are seeing

I hope that you can also see
The light that burns within me
In it's light you are protected and safe

The Wanderer
I've told you once
I've told you before
You are the one I want
And no more

You have some things
Not of my desire
But you have everything
Of what I want

Within you
Lies the fire
You are the first
That sates my fire

You are my love
And my heart

NO matter what
You can always talk to me

Just don't be stupid
And don't disrespect me

I don't ask much
But I ask that of you

No matter the amount
Of time or distance
Between us
Will change how close
I am to you

When I hear your voice
Or think of you
It closes the gap
And puts you right next to me

No amount of time or distance
Will change how I feel about you
Because you are always in my heart

A lady
Her scars were hidden
The ******* that had burned her
Left her to deal with it on her own

Tears shed
Stubborn and strong
Never being broken
She was a woman

Along came a man
Someone who said hello
Honestly
She felt vulnerable because of him

He saw this
And held her
"It's okay baby"
"I won't let anyone hurt you"
Were the words out of his mouth

He meant it

A real man takes care of his woman
And will carry all of her baggage

Always.

I had been gone for so long
I had forgotten the route
The turns I made were from memory
And I knew the names of the streets
As I turned my way onto them

The more familiar they got
I realized that I didn't know where home was

I had lost my way

I stopped somewhere familiar
To ask for directions
Recognizing faces,
I felt better

Familiar faces did welcome me
I was known to them
Told me where I wanted to go
And invited me for a drink
Everyone is so different from what I remember!

I stayed for a little while
Tried to make sense of it
To understand why I knew them
But I couldn't remember them

I left and headed out
Directions in hand
I arrived at my destination
Only to discover

I was the one that had changed

I was lost,
Even to myself

I thank you all for today
It's no easy jump
Friends and loves are hard to find
Eww...
Nerds...

Thats just grown up.
When is the last time time
You thought about holding someone?
I don't want to **** anyone again for that
Meg is a terrible self.

But I love me some Family Guy.
Ummm...
Irresponsibility with your family,
I bet you love that
You ******* person.

Sorry,
My fault as well
Nerd.

The Irish are going to go hard soon.
You gotta wake up my friend...
******* I must have been wasted when I wrote this!!! Lol

I understand
All of our time is short
What it means to say goodbye
Is something we all only learn
Once someone is gone

The good and the bad
Happy and sad
The proud and the frown
Waiting and wanting
Sitting and forgetting

What matters is being a good person
And knowing how to say goodbye

Goodbye
I have lost.  We all have.  There needs to be more poems written about it.  Just saying.  I could write all day about this.
