i think i'll remember you forever
like the sun lights up her sky
just to see the earth breathe
she never takes anything in return

especially on her moon
where all her love lies.

i think i'll love you forever
harder than the rain falls in a storm
longer than all the river forms
compare it to an ocean and i'll go deeper

especially for you, my love,
to whom all my adoration lies.

and i think i'll miss you forever
like the stars miss the morning skies
like the trees lose her leaves in autumn
like the sun waits to take a peek

of how her flowers bloom in summer.

No, I'm not ****
It's true, I'm not the coolest
But when it comes to love
I'll treat you the best

This aching need, this want.
It's torturing me with its taunts.
It lies in wait in a little tin in my purse.
I can't stay away, for that would be worse.
I tried, I swear, I knew you were counting on me.
I failed, as I have for half my life, and I'm sorry.
It heals me, it keeps me awake, it numbs the pain, I'm immune to heartache.
I can't cry, don't you see?
Without it I'm a mess of tears and emotion. I'm just trying to survive without creating an ocean.
I've explored the depths of insanity before.
All it takes is a little hit to bring me back to shore.
Is that so bad?

I
       Dried
                       My Eyes

When I stopped

              Thinking
                      About
             ­                *You

I have a million unfinished poems
That start with a thought of you
But fail to capture you right
Or start on a different topic entirely
And trail off, into you
A million little couplets
With cute, near rhyme
About mundane things you do
Things you're probably not even aware of
I just can't get you out of my mind
No matter how much I try
And you're not even mine

You don't listen to Floyd
So you wouldn't understand that
Wish you was here being our song
Is not really a good thing
But it describes us perfectly
I know, I've listened to it obsessively
Because it reminds me of you
And me, and what we could be
Would be, if we take that leap
