Drowning in cigarette smoke
My throat burns
As I laugh at another of life's trials
But to me its no more than a joke

How can this beautiful world
be taken so seriously
I was not put on this Earth
To participate in this ugly monotony
Cant you see?

My hair is the color
of the night sky
My cheeks blush the same
pink as a rose
My mind wanders like a butterfly in summertime
And I hate doing what im told.

I do not love like others do
I have fell for the sun
the stars and the moon too
It is hard to know when love is true
But I have learned true love is never fleeting
It will always be returned to you

I am growing old very fast
As I write this poem it remains in the past
I will never be as young as I am right now
What to do
With an hourglass
Winding down

If I could have only
Made the good times
Last a little longer

I know more heartbreak lies ahead
I beg you to let me down easily
As I try to keep my heart tender
Regardless of loves infrequency
