Reed: Poems

Always

Reed Aug 2013

Always

You only tell me what you want me to know
I know the things you don't tell
Your mouth will be my death
Your mouth will be my saviour
Kisses of poison
Your touch makes me alive

I don't know how to say it
I love you, I always will
I don't love you because I can't

I don't have a choice, but I'd still choose you
No, I don't love you, but I always will

Knowledge

Knowledge

You and I talking
You asked me what I knew
I replied "too much"

Reality

Reed Jul 2013

Reality

What if I told you I loved you?
But you already know
What if you told me you loved me?
But it's not in the same way

What if I told you I would die for you?
You already saved me from myself in the past
What if I told you you are why I'm alive?
You might cry but it's not the same way around

What if I hugged you?
They would see it as acceptable and you would embrace me
What if I kissed you?
They would say it's forbidden and you would push me away

What if you felt the same way?
You could not act upon it
What if you did?
I love you too much to let you fall

What if they could see it my way?
The problem is they never will
What if age, occupation and relationship didn't matter?
The problem is it always will

What if the only thing that mattered was love?

Taken

Reed Sep 2013

Taken

You see the despair in my eyes
And I, the sadness in yours

You ask me if I'm okay
Why did I lie to you
Then whisper the truth?

"It will only be a little while" you say
"I'll still miss you" I weep
I just ask that you hold me
Hold me and never let go

So many words unspoken but known

The Songbird

Reed Jul 2013

The Songbird

Your singing fills the room
But your voice is only for one
You glance down at me
Slowly a smile spreads across your lips
Forming crinkles around your sad eyes
I lean my cheek to my palm
And grin stupidly
**** this love

— The End —
