A piece of you Reflecting back The bitter words in your mouth Too raw to speak A poet is Someone in pain And someone in love Someone who looks at the world Through a kaleidoscope Who takes a magnifying glass to each And every Word you say And lets them imprint on their heart A poet is A star gazer A dreamer A chaser of The improbable But hopes anyway A poet is Tissue paper skin A heart of glass And a soul of titanium
A poet is A sharp tongue And a gentle kiss She is a sob He is a sigh A poet is The sun at midnight Bright and Burning Hot Alive But cloaked in a darkness They cannot shake The brightest day And the darkest night A poet is The human experience A paradox An oxymoron So complicatedly Simple
A poet is A lover Who refuses To stop wearing their heart on their sleeve No matter how much it bleeds But rolls them up So you can’t see The blood stains
It wasn't all that long ago You said you'd never leave me I keep asking myself why Why I believed you Why you changed your mind Why you lied
It wasn't that long ago You promised you would help me Now I am suffering alone Suicidal thoughts, all alone Gashes on my leg, all alone 2 am tears, all alone
It wasn't that long ago You were the one person I trusted Now I don't know the word I don't know why my friends are I don't know what to believe in I don't know what trust really means
It wasn't that long ago We had a deep connection Now only shallow words are spoken I want to know you'll be there for me I want to feel that love again
