I just couldn't bring myself to say it
Let's hope we've seen the last of the hued moon poems
The
beauty
of the stars above,
Cannot be seen without the night.
When  day  time  comes,  you  cannot  see
The     beauty     which     is     out     of     sight.
This       must       be       why       I       love       you       so,
This   must   be   why   you   seem   so   bright.
All you've done is cause me darkness,
To make yourself seem
pure   and
white.

Like an Autumn leaf,
I must learn to fall a little
if I ever want to rise.
Let the wind take me places
I've never been before.

To speak of you with poetry,
Would be similar to talking about an ocean filled with
fire and flowers.
Its beauty on the senses
draws you in.
And then you find yourself burning.
Is that a good thing?

i don't know what's worse-
the agony of holding on
or the agony of letting go.
it's always about you

1) I would die without music. I mean really die. The melancholy moodiness of the melodies and the angsty alluring allusions to love... they get me every time.
2) I love the smell of roses; the idea of a natural perfume is beautiful. The way that it was only ever touched by the fingers of Mother Nature is a foreign concept to our man-made world.
3) I don't believe he emanated sunshine, but more, he released a kind of comfortable sadness that I grew to be quite fond of, the kind of sadness that will keep you company on a rainy Sunday.
4) i'm sorry i couldn't be what you needed.

hi, welcome to our world,
you must be new.
i'm sure it sounds exciting;
but let me explain something to you.
you're a girl so
things are a bit more tough.
things are hard when nobody listens
when you say "enough is enough."
it's almost like you can't say no--
wait, that's not it.
it's more that when you say that word
they still don't quit.
opinions run rampant--
nothing you ever do or say will satisfy them.
"them" being not only girls tearing each other apart,
it's also men.
this idea of "them" is that you're being attacked,
physically, verbally... it doesn't matter.
they say you have too much makeup,
your stomach should be flatter.
and then it's the clothes...
you wear too much and you're a *****,
too little and you're a ***,
might as well be ****.
like to flirt?
too bad, you put out.
like to keep to yourself?
you're a *****, no doubt.
there's no such thing as winning,
in our society today.
but please, have fun!
enjoy your stay.
the truth of being a girl (might write follow-up poems to this)

honey, you could tell me a million times you miss me and all I would feel is the pain of the times you forgot to say it when all I needed were those three words
I guess that's where I went wrong
because who could have told me
that not seeing an end
and seeing a future
were two very
different
things
guess loving too much engulfed me in my own flame again
and honey i hope my name has left a scar on your tongue,
my skin a rash on your fingers,
my voice an unforgotten melody in your head,
and my love a softened place in your heart
learning to let go, learning to begin again
