Each Color a Scar
by Michael R. Burch

What she left here,
upon my cheek,
is a tear.

She did not speak,
but her intention
was clear,

and I was meek,
far too meek, and, I fear,
too sincere.

What she can never take
from my heart
is its ache;

for now we, apart,
are like leaves
without weight,

scattered afar
by love, or by hate,
each color a scar.

this poem
has no
reason
to rhyme

like how
I have
no reason
to give up on you.

Can we
Just go to the sea
And let's see
What's beneath of that deep sea
After I saw that sea

Do not leave me
I don't want to be lonely
Because I'm starting to see
The worth of you that I'd like again to see
After you let me
Dive into your deep sea

You were gone
I thought it was done
But here I am stunned
By the light of your sun,
You came back,
After the moon comes
And the bird hums
And a bright light succumbs
You were there standing and saying
We have feelings in tons

Before I let this poem done
I just want our conflicts to be gone
And have the love we want on those long runs
And again this time, can we?

Meeting you was fate,
becoming your friend was choice,
but falling in love with you was completely out of my control.
God created men first,
coz you always make
a rough draft before a masterpiece.
You are the light in a dark room
and I am the moth who can't resist it.
Explaining how much I love you
is like explaining how water tastes.
I don't want to be your whole world....
just your favorite part of your daily chapter
I'll love you today because tomorrow may be too late.
Meeting you has been delightfully refreshing!
I thought of something wonderful today.... You!

I still cry at night
Because of the abandonment
Of you
But not in my mind
But in my heart.

I'm saying this because I'm bothered
I don't want us to be awkward
I don't want you to build those big walled boarders
I don't want to be alone on those sad corners

I'm sincerely saying sorry for the mistakes I did
Now I'm regretting what I did I just want to undid
Please I'm saying sorry should I tell to myself to forbid
Or should I tell you I'll commit?

I'm saying this again I'm sorry
Because when I'm not with you my eyes are teary
Lets stop this complicated quarry
I don't want this to end a sad short story

I'll gonna tell you I'm sorry daily
Because you might forgive me maybe
If you'll give me another chance I'll make you my first lady
I don't want our love story to be shady

So I'm telling you again I'm sorry.

Trying to shun
I don't want this to be done
I don't want this love to be gone
And I don't want to end my day
Without you under the sun

I know our feelings are true
And I want our us to pursue
Please while in process
Dont fall through
I'll promise that always
our love will be brand new

And there I was all out
Thought I had everything figured out
I take one step away
Trying my own devout
Then I find myself coming back to you

A gravitational love
Given from above
That maybe we were meant to fall in love
Girl, we don't have to get rid of this love

Everytime I take one step away
I find myself in front of you
And finally say I'll stay
I won't waste any time and make a delay
Because time always comes by I might lose you and you'll say I need to stay away

I'm not trying to shun
I just don't want this to be done
I just want this love to have fun
And cease our day under a beautiful sun.
