Listen
Listen, up girl.
Listen, up girl.
Cause all these words are true.

If I lose it all?
I still have you.
If I stumble, crash snd fall?
I still have you.

If I wealthy and lost all my money?
I know I will still have you in my corner.
You always be my strongest supporter.

So if I lose it all?
I still have you.

Oh, If I lose it all?

The materialistic thing doesn't mean a thing.
But having your love(to me)means everything.

Those maple branches never were the strongest.
I remember the sound as your foot finally snapped one, and you came crashing down ten feet.
Leaving you with your first scar of many to come.

It's engraved inside my mind.
Your parents rushing to your side, as the blood trickled
down your arm.
All I could do was stare in disbelief.

It seems like things went downhill from there.
Your father just couldn't quit the bottle.
All the arguments and fights must have taken their toll.
Cop cars constantly visiting your house.
Yet, you still somehow managed to smile every time
we'd hang out.

Back in high school, we'd always chill together.
You'd always complain about the loser you were dating.
Losers like "Chad" or "Aaron".
It ****** me off how poorly they treated you.
If I wasn't so sheltered, I probably would have asked you out
back then.

I'll never forget the day you pulled up in your car.
That barely-running Plymouth with the busted bumper.
I remember you yelling at your parents.
Tears streaming from your eyes, as you ran across the street.
You threw your arms around me, announcing your grand
escape to the open road.
Your voice was cracking with sorrow as you spoke.
I did my best to comfort you, but I guess I doubted you back then.
****, that day was six years ago though...

I haven't felt much of anything since then.
I really hope you're doing well.
You'd love all the tattoos I've collected, So come back
and see them someday.
In the meantime, I think I'll stick around this dead-end town.

I still see you
Though your casket's long been closed
You haunt me in my dreams
Your everlasting smile
Those melancholy eyes
Each and every night
Tears stream down my cheeks

You're always here with me
I keep you in my heart
Wishing I could hold you
My words met by the dark

Scanning through the room
I know it to be true
You have left this world
So badly does it hurt

I close my eyes in moonlight
Hoping I do not wake
For in my dreams you're next to me
You're holding me so tight
When I finally pass away
I know we'll reunite
Finally trying to write again. I haven't been super inspired lately, but working on more poems soon :) Thanks for reading.
Twisting words
Full of color
Freeing thy imagination
Like no other
Time goes by
Slowly turning
Rewind the hands
Back to oblivion
Destroying all odds
To set sail once again

Dancing through waters
Catching waves
Leaping through life
Only then to be saved
Feeling broken
Purposely caused by the beauty of pain
No longer dancing through the hourglass of life
Picking up the broken pieces
One shard at a time
