Roses are red
Violets are blue
Darkness fades away
Whenever I'm with you

You are like the sun
Shining so bright
Shining like the stars
In the dark blue sky

Like admiring flowers
Blossoming on the trees at spring
You make me look forward
To what tomorrow may bring

Each day with you I feel
Something I know that's real
A love with no end
Cause you are my very best friend

You know me inside and out
Known all the good and the bad
Although I have to pout
At times when things aren't rad

You're my partner, my lover
You give me love like no other
Let me stay from here on then
Cause I'll love you forever and it will never end
I always thought that I was fine
But I can't forget when you were mine
Notes and letters I always read
Knowing I cannot have what I really need

You were my love, my everything
Now, I feel as if I'm nothing
We stayed friends, me and you
But I know I hurt star, mermaid and boo

Nights I spent praying for a sign
Just to bring back what once was mine
Ignite the flame that once was there
And bring back the times where we truly care

You're still my love and always will
but deep inside I know I killed
The real me, my old self
Burned to ashes and put on a shelf

Until now, I still hope
That one day I will stop to choke
On my own tears that is for you
Mend my heart that broke for you

Someday I'll wait, someday I'll find
The real truth of what's left behind
Fact: star, mermaid and boo are the plushies that we named together and kept to keep our love together
I fell in love with the sky, I fell in love with the moon
I never thought it would be that soon
For the twinkling star to fall from the sky
And fall from nothingness while I went off and sighed

A million stars spread out across
The star in my heart was the one I lost
Everyday I prayed, everyday I dreamed
"Star! Oh star! you are something more than I seemed!"

Wishes and promises were now washed away
Fell with the star so far away
Nothing to be seen nothing to be heard
Nobody understood how my heart hurt

People would point at different stars
But nobody notices what was ours
You never shined the brightest like the others
But still, my heart, it flutters

Nobody can see how beautiful you are
Nor do they wonder what you are
I'd sit and stare at you until the sun comes up
Especially when things get rough

Your beauty in my eyes is beyond comparison
The way you twinkle gives me lessons
Realizations would always flow to me
Everything else I started to see

Soon, the time will come for my favorite star to be forgotten
Just like the memories I kept, were stolen
For the unfairness of the world becomes a reality
And the world will never be as lovely

God created you from nothing
But to me, you will always be something
These lessons I will forever treasure and hold
Nor will I allow myself to be cold

"Life goes on" is what I'll do
And just know, I did it all for you
I've written this poem about a person dear to my heart. Perhaps the story behind this wasn't all pretty but I am still thankful and will always be thankful for everything.
Chances, they come
Risks, we take
I can't quite comprehend
What's at stake

A word from one
A paragraph for two
I can't fully understand
Just what to do

they give off love
The hate they take
Round and round in circles
With the mess that I make

You see one side
But I see a few
You don't know what's on my mind
So what should I do?

Petals of flowers
Keep spreading across
This ache in my heart
It's something that should be lost

But pebbles and rocks
I just throw them away
All the pain and the angry
Should just wash away

A promise, a vow
Whatever it may seem
It's completely important
What I wish to redeem

My heart is something too hard to take
Risks and challenges is what you have to take
A million memories flooded in my head
In moments that I would dread
The pain of the past keeps pushing through
Perhaps they don't really care about you

Year per year the memories torn
Feeling a new you would always be reborn
Good or bad as it may seem
The old you, you can no longer redeem

Smiles and praises always said
But I can barely keep them in my head
For what's important would burst to say
"Hey, you know we'll never go away"

Each day I prayed, each day I hoped
"This day! Oh please! I wouldn't mope!"
Shards of glass cut through my chest
But still, I was still hoping for the best

This year has been so bad for me
Next year, for now, we will just see
Emotions flowing from two broken hearts
Regardless the distance that kept them apart
Memories were shared of lessons we’ve learned
Builds with the trust we’ve started to earn

Pain and happiness were all understood
The shifting of emotions were changing the mood
The tears that fell were starting to fade
Replaced with the laughter he suddenly gave

Prayers were answered of friendships that built
It’s almost as if I climbed up a hill
The pain and struggle all made sense
Because of the messages that both of us sends

Relief from a person with a heavy heart
Was never expected right from the start
I told myself I needed to breathe
And face the person I needed to meet

In time we will, in time we’ll see
And I hope you will accept me
A great big field underneath a deep blue sky
Filled with wonders of pain and delight
Each step you take is a great big mystery
It's almost as if there's no end in sight

Steps in grasses tickle your feet
Walking faster because of the joy you meet
A single step turns into pain
A tiny pebble comes out to play

You drip in sweat and cry out your tears
Looking around you, seeing what's near
You turn to see the steps you took
A delightful sight with just one look

You look back at the steps you'll take
And try to think of the choice you'll make
Behind looks a bit more fun
But forward is where you'll see the sun

A simple glance at the road ahead
You sighed aloud and then you said
"I cannot predict what the future holds,
But perhaps closer, the beauty unfolds."

You walk past the trials, the challenges and more
And now you see there is so much more
Behold a light that shines for you
Behold, you see a beautiful view

You thank the past for the road ahead
For all the treasures and lectures that's said
For life is more beautiful than what we seem
For our dreams that we may soon redeem

Are just along the road ahead
And never stop until you've reached the end
My very first poem published here. Many more to come.

— The End —
