Baby I won't say
That I love you.

But you are all I have
And all I need

And I know I can't
Keep you forever

But all I ask
Is you keep me

In your memory
Forever

-r.y.s

The rain pours
And pours
The roads flood
The ground turns to mush

And yet I spend my day
Not in the rain
Not in the lost thought of sadness
Not in the fear of death

But in the thought of you.

-r.y.s

i honestly don't know
what it is
about you
that separated you from the rest
because God knows
I can't seem to figure it out now.

All I know,
is that
I've give up on you.

You waste my time
And **** my hopes
And make me feel
Absolutely worthless.

As a child
I was always
That kid the teacher
Spoke of
As having my head
In the clouds.

I never saw
The clouds
I was never
Fond of the clouds
I prefer the night
The twinkling stars.

Because there
Is stories in the stars
And the stars hold truth.
A truth that
We aren't alone
And that oblivion is real

I've always felt
Insignificant
When I look at the night sky
Because I realize
Every moment
In this short life
Is just a moment
That could be the last
And I feel motivated
To try
To make my impact.

I have always feared
Oblivion
The inevitable
The thought of being forgotten
Because who doesn't?

I can't stand
To think
That I'll die one day
And know
I never changed the world
I was never a persons reason
To change, to live

I seem crazy
Because how can one
Be the change in the world
And I can't figure it out
But I will do it.

And I'll do it, for my love of the night.

It's always hard
holding feelings

Especially
when you hold
on and on
for so long

You know,
it's been almost
a full year
and yet
you're still in my head

It drives me
crazy.
Like my feelings for
you.
Because I can't stay
away.

I'll never
understand
why it's you,
maybe you're
"the one"
or maybe
I'm just a
little to
crazy.

-r.y.s

you always tell me
poetry is a rhyming game
but I'll never be
good with these kind of games
because words aren't for me
not in these rhyming games
I'm struggling to find the degree
of words that describe the flame
the fire inside me
that words can't contain in a frame.
I
Miss
You.

-r.y.s

I swear
the world
is spinning
round
and
round
and
round.

But mine,
my world
it's been
still
since
the day
you
walked
away
and
away
and
away.

And yet
I know
the world
around
me
spins
and
spins
and
spins.

Cause we
graduate in
May, and
I
leave
you
forever
and
ever
and
ever.

The problem
is that
even when
I
leave
my
world
won't
turn
and
turn
and
turn.

Cause I
am still
stuck on
you
and
your face
and
your existence.
