I miss you like flames in my chest I'm trying my best but I need to see your face and it seems I cannot wait I breathe and catch your scent on the breeze; see your face in people on the street I need you so I close my eyes and once again I can see that soft face in front of me I hear your voice in my mind all of the time So don't you know? I miss you

I Miss You
Summertime spent in silence Reaching in the dark Reaching for the stars Reaching so we don't fall apart Summertime spent in sadness Holding tight to broken memories Holding onto me and you Holding so I don't lose us Summertime spent in slow-motion Don't let go Don't tell me no I reach for the stars To claim them and your heart You reach back, but I've been reaching from the start

Reaching
So good, so bad something i will never have yet something that bleeds me dry and makes me never want to try So good, so bad someone i will never have yet someone that i yearn to hold and tell them all the things untold So good, so bad something i will never not have the bloodthirst behind closed doors and the sting of metal since i'll never be yours

So Good, So Bad
It was October gold leaves crunch, arms brush, feet touch what if this is love?

October
Fig at my feet, I fumble and fret Imagining worlds where bubbles don’t burst, Where the sun doesn’t                       burn                                   away                                                 into nothingness. Where the ghosts of ex lovers haunt their mothers and the emptiness doesn’t weigh heavy on my boots. In the distance a white rabbit beckons me forward To a home where you never leave and she never hurts. A place to sit and trace the rivers flowing across the heart lines in my palm. My life mapped out before me like reels and reels of ticker tape. He will love you like no other. He will hold onto you like the last leaf of fall. He will kiss you like a wave to a boat, gently and fiercely, all at once. I swallow the blue pill and wake to craters in my hands, hollowed out by time. And in them I’m holding not a fig, but a mulberry fruit. Thisbe and Pyramus’ lament from the gods. I take a bite, a bitter taste. Because in another life, I’d be with you.

Daydreaming
I have known you as far as my memory goes. I have observed you, watched you grow— As I did too. But I wonder why we never talked, ’Cause we never talked before, Was all I could think back then. And even now, I think it’s still the same— ’Cause we never talked before, And maybe… we never will.

Cause we never talked before
"im lonely, so lonely." the saphire cries. "the moon is dark, gone frome the skies." she glistens and sharpens in her hue. "if only, if only" the gemstones reply "you would be moved, we could see your eye" they believe a change is due yes only, if only, the change would come

friends
7/16/2021 If I could speak to you I’d tell you how special you are I’d tell you that what makes you cool Is that I can see the love of Jesus shining If I could give you counsel I’d tell you how valuable you are I’d tell you how infinitely important it is To wait patiently on God’s will for your life If I could ask you a question I’d want an answer from your heart What is your pressing passion, I’d ask What drives you, what things do you love? If I could watch you I’d want to see you smile I’d want you to be safe and happy I’d want to watch you live your dreams If I weren’t so self-conscious I’d be confident and encouraging I’d want to be intentional and inviting I’d want to be the person I’m meant to be

If I Could
If only I had been faster If only I had been enough If only you had loved me, then perhaps I could have loved you, and then you would have stayed If only people were understanding If only they had listened If only they hadn't broken your trust, then you could give it to me, and then you would have stayed If only you were still here If only I had the guts to tell you before If only I had seen what was going on, then I could have helped, and then you would have stayed

If Only
I find myself dreaming of how life was before I find myself longing for the ways things once were I wish I'd of been content instead of always asking for more I wish I remembered it vividly but now its just a blur Going out with friends and the time that went by so fast If only I had known that it wouldn't all last Now confined within the walls that make up my home I feel so trapped like I'm quarantined inside a dome Just a few months ago everything was as it should be Just a few months ago we had no restrictions and were free But now because of fear, our freedom has strict borders We have no other choice than to follow the government's orders I suppose we'll recall a few months ago as the before Because It's doubtful that things will ever be like that any more

Alibi
Tear me up salt my wounds and I will come back patched and proofed Stop my tracks tie my foot and by this pavement I'll starve and stood Call me in names of sharp refutes and I will breathe in to calm my thoughts But tell me to change the one thing I be and you would break me into insanity I have known words to estrange my mind and I have heard you brought back my life A disfiguration of what I was A continuation of who I am And I, I am A broken Masterpiece

Wake me up At the cracks of dawn Because you had A nightmare Wake me up In the middle of the night Because you need a hug And you want some cuddles Wake me up When I'm not asleep From the daily nightmare That's called me Wake me up When you're thirsty And need someone to walk you down the stairs Because you're scared alone in the dark Wake me up Whenever you need me 4 AM, 6 PM I'll always be there Wake me up And make me Stand up with tangles in my hair To dance with you at midnight Wake me up Before you leave to work So I can wake up next to you Like we've always wanted Wake me up To make love I wish you would want me To be your passion

Wake me up
What is love but an exposition, Of what is otherwise so deeply hidden, Within the heart of the one who adores, Living with the fear of when she explores, I came to you before we had met, So majestic with pure excellence, A perfect guy you had taught, This broken heart's possessor had been, When durations of speech, Went from minutes to hours so quick, I revealed myself not all but a bit, Though that bit was enough to change your mind, You saw me fall and reached my hand, Helping me up,  assisting me to stand, But at the same have your troops leave, The worthless soil of my hearts land. A confused man isn't apparently; in the eyes of a lady attractive AROODY 2019

Confusion
If only I had no problems Maybe Then I wouldn't be So lonely Stressed out mind And open heart Both so lonely I can't tell If I'm alright If only I wasn't breaking Slowly I wouldn't be So lonely Walking away So coldly If only I wasn't so (not) crazy Then maybe If only I'm not lonely

The One That Got Away
Are black clouds swirling above my head? Are birds and butterflies? Can you tell when I'm angry? Does smoke spew from my ears? Wouldn't that be easier? If we were animations Alive and fictitious Right there Before your eyes I reflate after every defeat Arrive safe and clean and unbroken Back in my bed the next morning Nothing happened Wouldn't that be easier?

Cartoon Characters
The Catman told a joke The boy's laughter bounced off the walls I knew that laugh, so I smiled to myself I knew before even seeing him His broad smile lights up the room His full laugh fills the room fills me If only I could be the reason for his smile If only I could be within his sight If only it could be as more than a friend

The boy who laughs
If only I'd said the words what my heart wants to convey, I bet we are now both happy singing our songs together. If only I have clearly shown how my feelings are sincere. Perhaps you're still here Smiling at me so clear. If only I had said honestly that our feelings are mutual I wouldn't regret that day and writing this poem. If I could have the chance to fall in love again I wouldn't be the same coward I'll be one step forward.
