You know it's funny how people leave

One day you're their whole world

The next day you're not even in their world

Children picnic outside

As the wind blows through the trees' many leaves

As summer comes to an end

So will all of these
This is a little poem I wrote back in 2012.

I had to leave
I would have died if I didn't
I was locked in your fatal grasp
Clenched in your desperate snare

You said you loved me
How empty words can be
I was left to wonder if it was really me you loved
Or just the fragrant idea of a girl you called "mine"

I'm sure you're bitter
But I just couldn't stay
You see, I have hopes and dreams that cannot be squelched
Please forgive me, but you are not one of them

So I must be going
Because somewhere out there is my one true love
Yours is out there too
It just won't be me
Me

Me
What do you see when you look at me

Am I young am I old am I in-between

Is there joy is there pain when you look in my eyes

Is there love is there hate in this heart of mine

What do you see when you look at me

Am I fun am I dull am I a soul who can't breathe

Is there peace is there worry when you see my face

Is there life is there death caught up in my pace

Oh what do you see when you look at me

The sky is gray

The water's waves reach the shore

Shells, sand, and rocks can be seen

With the sand under foot

You can hear the water's voice
Point Gratiot is a park/picnic area near Lake Erie. I wrote this poem on July 27, 2012.

The melodic sound of the rain
It lightly taps on my window
Begging to come in
Longing to be heard by the world inside

It beats all around the still structure I call home
Running down its rooftop
Gliding across the doorstep

What is the rain trying to say
Does it speak of love
Does it speak of sorrow
Who can tell what the rain feels

The clouds are gray
But is that all an illusion
The sun still shines above

Maybe the rain is singing of the beauty
it sees above those dreary clouds

Maybe, just maybe, the rain is dancing to the heart beat of the world.

Will you walk with me by the light of the moon

It's so bright and beautiful tonight

I'll hold your hand if you hold mine

We can walk along that old dirt road and talk about nothing

I'll look up at the moon

I'll look up at you

And somehow I'll be fine

Just you, me, and the moon
The moon and sky were so beautiful tonight...

If I dance
Will you see me

If I cry
Will you hold me

If I sing
Will you hear me

If I jump
Will you catch me

If I die
Will you die too
You

You
Where are you
Oh one I seek
Will you find me
Or will I find you

You cannot hide forever
The shadows will break
The fog will clear
And there you will be
Standing right before me

You will be mine
And I will be yours
We will be one
And nothing will part us
My love is out there somewhere....

— The End —
