At 18 I made the mistake of telling you I had the heart of a poet.
That the way to my heart was through written word.
You only smiled and took it as a challenge.
The next two years were filled with both romantic and sensual gestures, in written  word.
I fell in love with the fact you were in love with me.
Well, if I have the heart of a poet you have the soul of a writer
and the world you created for us on paper, was better than any fantasy novel I have ever read.

At 20 I can still see your writings, declarations of love that you swore would last forever,
but I can no longer see myself as the heroine in your story.
I read your words and I see her living out my fantasy.
Do you write for her, as you did for me?
For her sake, I hope not.
So she doesn’t end up like me, reading and re-reading your words, trying to find the disaster and warning signs in your perfect world that you created for the two of us.
While you're busy becoming the writer of a different love story.

They say ink is poison,
But so is your touch,
So aren't these words,
Better than cuts?

For the most part your not a victim
You put yourself in the situation
I tried to help, but I was the bad guy for helping
So I left and now since I'm gone
I'm totally the bad guy
I don't understand
Please help me understand.
I don't understand people sometimes...................

You know, when you witness a car crash in full motion,
It's abruptness shakes you out of your core,
Because when cars crash on the news you only see the commotion,
Not the fragility of the moving bodies which you would never have accounted for.

You witness the horrible instantaneous compression of the car's crumple zone,
Not shown in the news reports which you usually seem to know.

You hear a sudden shriek that cries for your attention,
Not heard of in the news reports which don't describe the dreadful throe.

You feel a sudden atmosphere of sharp confusion,
Conflicting with any atmosphere you previously used to know.

The disparity of these situations is quite familiar, you know,
Something not unheard of, as many of us know,
Like the sudden moments we're frozen in time trying to start forward again,
After colliding, breaking our hopes and dreams, confused as to how to move forward again.

When you are too drunk
to drink the drink
that drains the drunk
from your stomach,
what then?
Drink more,
drunk more,
drain more,
until you are empty
and full of drinks
in which make you drunk
in which make you drink more drinks
until you are drunk, drunk
too drunk to drink the drinks
that take away the drunk
I drank
I know this sounds like it came right from a drunk... I haven't consumed any alcahol, just a lot of devestation lately.

Too many of us,
Waste away our lives
In search of perfection—
The perfect love,
The perfect match,
A perfect fit.
Too many of us
Are unsatisfied with the perfection
We already have.
See, I think we've got it all wrong.
Imperfection is not
The absence of perfection.
Rather,
Perfection is simply,
The presence of imperfection.

Far, far away
In the land of the ******,
Sat a man on a throne
With a crown in his hand.

He dares not wear it,
He fears for his life.
For he know that his bloodline
Is of violent strife.

But he keeps getting pushed,
And told that he must,
For the people need rules,
And laws covered in dust.

He tells them than 'no,
I am not for this job,
Find another, who's weaker-
His life of him rob.'

But the people persist,
And therefore, in the end,
The man puts the crown on,
To kinghood ascends.

He lived in that land
Ruling over the ******,
But his time's at an end
I have the upper hand.

I come to him at night,
And whisper in his ear,
I tell him of things
That one should never hear.

And so, this new king,
With a crown on his head
Knew he would not survive
Whispers of the dead.

I shall greet him tomorrow
Where his kindred are banned
And together we'll rule
In the land of the ******.
I don't even know.

I don't understand what you want from me.
Do you want me to be gentle and kind all the time,
or tough and defensive?
Do you want me to act like a lady,
or a young girl with a wicked sense of humor?
Do you want me to be comforting,
or to give you your space?
I'm getting so many mixed signals.
None of it makes sense.
Tell me what you want,
and I will be that for you.

I thought he was perfect
I thought he couldve healed my broken heart
I thought he was my saviour
I guess not

Because he has another girl
And he fancy's her more than I
Even though he said he loves me
And I'm the one..

Then why won't he leave her?
Is it because she's more popular
Or maybe his friends font think I'm cute
Whatever it is, it has me puszzled
Because if I'm the only girl you've loved,
Then why aren't we together ?

But I guess its my fault.
Im the reason we can't see each other
My life doesn't make accommodation
For love..
And ironically love doesn't either
Sigh

In my darkest times, you talk to me
Like warm summer breeze
On a bright and sunny day
Vast plain of sunflowers
Everlasting beyond the horizon.
You make me see colorful butterflies
Omitting beautiful spectrum
Underneath the bright and shinning sun.
Jolly, I am, when I see you having fun
Amazed, I am, to see you smile by my side
Nevertheless the feelings you show are
Engulfed by my blind eyes.
Light up the road, so my eyes can see
Light up the path, for my mind to wonder
About how you give me, the feelings I cannot conquer
this is dedicated to the one I truly love. btw, I'm a new kid to HP!
