Home

I long for home
Though I'm not sure
Where home is anymore

It's exhausting not knowing where you belong...

Quite a view

How I deeply wish that
You could see yourself
The way I do
For it's quite a view

To my wife... how can a person so beautiful have such a terrible self esteem?

All about me

I should've been a better friend
I should've been there for you
I should've known better...
But as much as it pains me
To admit such terrible truth
You know I've always been
The narcissistic type
And had to make it
All about me

One of the hardests confessions I've ever made...

Unreplied letters

The weeds in our garden
Grew as fast as the pile
Of your unreplied letters

Such a sad race to behold...

Poetry scam

I could never write
Anything remotely
As flawless as you do
So I'll fake it until
Someday I can find
Beauty in words too

It's hard not to feel like a fraud among such amazing writers here at hepo.

30's

I desperately hold on to
The remnants of my youth
As late autumn dying leaves

Getting older is such a scary thought...

Pizza love

With flour, you can make dough
With tomatoes, you can make sauce
But top them with cheese
And add a little heat
And you can make magic

There's food, there's great food, and then there's pizza.
