Am I just like a cake? I'm fun, I'm happy, I'm good, but only when it's convenient. I'm only searched for a few times for certain occasions, I'm there when you're with alone, celebrating, with friends if I'm lucky. but the rest of the time, for what am I needed? Maybe I'll be in a few videos every now and then, But videos with the same person and another food will always be preferred. You'll destroy me, layer by layer, You'll make a mess out of me, and then leave until you have to clean up, Frosting, crumbs and sprinkles will be all over the place, just like my emotions, thoughts and feelings. You'll enjoy me when the time is right, And then leave me behind when you finish everything I've given you. I give and I give, just for people to leave. I'm enjoyable, fun to be around while it lasts but, it's never forever. Just like a piece of cake, it's gonna end sooner or later Just like your love for me. So, every night, I wonder, Am I just like a cake?

just like a cake
do you ever stare at the computer an endless gaze into white That feeling of indecisiveness How can I turn my emotions in genius I wish that moment Could be a poem

I wish it was a poem
I look around and wonder Why am I forced into this scripted realm ? Why do I have to fit in Some timeless motif My disproportionate desires, Makes me a misfit here. All I want to do is chase the bizarre dreams my heart longs for, and go far— far away from all this realm. I wonder, if I can be in my own Quiet constellation— Where nothing is etched in order. Where music hits my heart and I can dance, sing along — and just live. But i’m stuck here Sinking in this chaos— Not living. Just breathing.

I wonder
I wonder how much would change I wonder how much we could do If we stopped trying to rewind time. Would you be happier? Would your soul be more whole? Would you feel more or less in control? The truth is, nothing good can come From living in the past In a world where nothing is meant to last

Rewind
As my body gets weaker, my mind grows stronger. But I can't help but wonder how much longer my heart can hold on. Hold on to the faith, to the dream. But more than anything, I wonder how much longer the love in my heart can hold on to me

The love in my heart
The seconds, minutes, hours pass by. And yet, after all this time, I can't help but sit back and wonder... "Why?"

After all this time
what is the point of being deep     if nobody dares to dive its depth?

I Wonder
I wonder where you are I wonder where you've been I wonder if I'll ever see you again. I wonder if you miss me As much as I miss you. I wonder if you dream of us And all that we've been through

I wonder
I wonder if you write poetry about me too Since every poem I write seems to be about you I wonder if my smile makes your day If hearing my laugh makes you want to stay I wonder if you light up when I walk in the room If seeing my face makes your heart go boom I wonder if your pulse speeds up when we hug If you've fallen into this hole we've dug I wonder if you want to take my hand And forget everything else that you had planned I wonder if you think about kissing me If I'm who you want your first kiss to be I wonder if you feel these same things I do I wonder if you just might love me too

I Wonder
All great stories have a beginning , a middle & a end, But not necessarily in that order. I wonder what metaphor you should be, Like I wonder if our story is just at the beginning  or just at the ending. Or if there is a fairy tale ending. THE END . What is on the last page of a book was on The first chapter of ours titled rejection. I wonder why I had to laugh to the sound of no Just to make this easier for you I wonder is this the false face of a lover, Simply to care. I wonder am I allowed to use the  word love When our story together never really began. I wonder if there is an alternative to the two paths I can take, Like I wonder do you realise my meaning behind how 'I want  to watch you grow', If the two lesser roles you had offered to me is mine to pick  to be stranger or friends For the lesser plot of our Middle, Let me explain, I wanted to be somone special in this story If you allow me to. But instead I'm probably going to be Like a social therapist, Like a guardian angel, Like a hero who does not  wear capes. But instead I'm probably going to be Always listening and never fixing, Always blessing  but never protecting, Always  changing and never rescuing. I wonder why you  can be so certain, I wonder  was it easy for you to edit away at this life's story I wonder if you Know why you re called  a baby chick? You're like a baby chick who has yet to grow out feathers Like a chick that does not give out hope, Cause hope is a thing of feathers. I wonder if this relationship is at the ending or  at the beginning? P.S. you ****

I don't think I love you. I shouldn't. We are wrong in every way but you are the one that took my innocence. At first it's what I wanted. But now, sitting here under these stars you once deflowered me under, I realize that the greatest pain is knowing that I wasn't the one you said goodbye to as you boarded for England. I lied though because the greatest pain speaks louder. That I cannot be rid of the thoughts of you. The sounds you made me spill I never knew I could sing so beautifully, and you were gorgeous when you looked at me. Eyes so bright and kissing me as if I meant something to you. I cannot say I love you but ****** it sure feels that way. And these thoughts will not leave you kissing my neck as I watch the stars dance and we become them. You don't think of me do you? Not as I do, surly. These thoughts, they'll haunt me. You left without them. You left me with them.

Leftover Love For Dinner
I wonder if I stopped eating, Would they notice? I wonder if I stopped laughing, Would they notice? I wonder if I stopped loving, Would they notice? I wonder if I stopped talking, Would they notice? I wonder if I stopped trying, Would they notice? I wonder if I stopped breathing, Would they notice? Because I wouldn't.

I Wonder
I know that you are a poet I know that I don't matter to you I know that I didn't really matter to you back then either But back when I was actually on your mind When I was under the impression that maybe you cared about me I wonder if you ever wrote a poem for me? I sure wrote many for you. That's all I know. I'd like to burn them with you now. Along with all the memories and feelings.

I wonder
I wonder if when Thomas Jefferson scrawled out the Declaration he could see the world that I have come to know. I wonder if he would understand the nation that would blossom from under his inflammatory words. Would he know that the world would never be so simple as black and white if only because a racial lawsuit might come from it? Would he see the world burn up in a digital fire that no nostalgia would ever be able to quench? Would he know the society that would simultaneously spew rantings of "You're special" and "You are never going to be right enough to live here"? How about that war that taught the people that it's okay to hate those who fight so that you can love another day? Or even the world that has severed so deeply within its own walls that you can only hold on to you hearts and hope that might not be severed too? I wonder what this man could have been declaring so seriously that he would send men to war for it, just to have the papers he and his dear friends were writing on be the shield that politicians might use to prevent their fallout. Freedom is not objective. And Subjectively speaking, this freedom we've been given comes with about ten thousand terms and conditions that none of us are going to read anyway because this is Amurica and we don't do that here.
