I'm sorry little dragon, but you know I can't stay,
I never was any good, to you, anyway.
I love someone else, and it just isn't fair,
you need someone, who about you can care,
but I need a girl who just wants some fun.
I don't mean to hurt you, you're just not the one
I'll remember your lips, and your ******* form too,
but when you were like that, I wasn't thinking of you.
I am really sorry. I can still be your friend,
and maybe, just maybe, this won't be the end.
Maybe one day, when her image is gone,
we'll be together, once I have moved on,
till then though, don't hate me, for sleeping around,
commitment brings back memories, of what she threw on the ground.
Today was amazing, but I can't handle using someone I care about this much. If I softly whisper this to her, it'll lessen the blow right?

If I asked
If I said that you were perfect,
you'd just shrug it off again,
but that's what springs to mind love,
whenever I hear your name.
If I told you how much I like you,
you'd laugh and just say 'cute',
but never the less I like you,
and it's a feeling I can't refute.
If I asked you to be mine,
your no would be nothing new,
but I'll still forever know that,
my heart belongs to you,

My new muse
My muse is now, someone new
and I think change was, overdue
For I was slowly becoming bitter
I'd soon have given up and become a quitter

But now my muse has been exchanged
Are my poems different, have they changed?
Because the're now about a girl who loves me too
But do my new poems sound different to you?

Poison lies
I poison my heart with the lies on my tongue,
I can't let you know I still think you're the one,
It's a special day, that my lies are askew in
Oh what a big deal, a huge moment to ruin,
But I can't have you think and can't have you know,
That it's you my dear who I still love so.
Woken by a pain, I should no longer feel,
still nursing old wounds, that refuse to heal.
And in the cold, dim light of day,
I know I'll always, feel this way.
But thought I try, I can't make things right,
I still miss my angel, every night.

My last poem
And so death comes,
with crimson tides,
with cold harsh steel,
and graceful strides,
with burning pain,
and sweet release,
but at least this feeling,
will come to cease.

Last words.
The last words I plan to write
before the darkness, of endless night,
will be just these, short and few,
I'm sorry for what, I did to you.

You ignite a fire
You ignite a fire in my blood that nothing can quell,
for such a perfect angel, you're sure a lot like hell.
And alright I'll admit it, yes to you I lied,
but any hope of a future, well that's surely died.
So go right on and hate me, I'd hate me as well,
but I could never hate you back, if only you could tell.

A simple kiss
Just such a simple kiss,
and now I feel like this,
and I'm wanting more,
and it's you I adore,
but I'm going on,
and I'm starting to fawn.
What's got into me?
You're now all I see.
It was a simple kiss,
and now I feel like this...

One last thought
You never deserved any of the poems I wrote for you,
and I hope I never write you any more.

Sleep deprived rhyming
Just a stranger with a familiar face
Who's touch once caused my heart to race
And I'd trade my life just to know you now
To be in your life any way you'll allow
But I hope in vain, you are much too gone
You're someone different, you have moved on.

Cutie
Nothing compares to your beauty my dear
In your cheeks a red blush,does slowly appear
Cute beyond words, with a voice oh so sweet
Oh the most amazing girl, I ever did meet
Laced fingers, we hold hands, and I can't help but smile
As always around you I'm happy the whole while.

Cigarettes
I never could stand cigarettes
That was just the way it went
But now they remind me of your lips and
I think I love their scent
Shards of glass, picked out of my hand
This anger is more, than I can withstand
I don't know why I still trust you
It's like betraying me is all you do.
Cheating, lying, manipulating me
you're as empathic as a tiny flea.
I want to leave you alone, I want to go
but I still trust you, like I did long ago.

Thanks for your time
You were hardly even worth the time,
Such wasted days when you mine,
You said I wasn't enough,
I didn't care to call your bluff,
You said he was your happy ending,
So sad to hear that that's all ending,
If into my arms, you expect to come running,
Well then my dear, you've another thing coming.

I hide my poetry.
I hide my poetry from you,
to hide the things so painfully true,
the things I don't have, the words to say,
so I keep them from you, but maybe one day...
I won't have to.
I'm sorry for hiding my poetry. There's so much I don't have the words to say

That was our last goodbye
I fear that was, our last goodbye,
and I'll forever, be wondering why,
you took our love and threw it away,
while in my heart, that love shall stay.
I'd trade the world, for one last kiss,
or to just for a moment, be something you miss.
I'll see you soon, but you won't see me,
because you don't dwell, on what used to be.
When we see each other again next week, your eyes will just glance right past me, and I'll do my best to pretend mine do the same, but I know full well I'll steal a moment to stare at your perfection

Pain that I can't bear
I know that I never meant anything to you
So now I know that this is what I've got to do.

My last wish my dear, would be to see your eyes
One last time before I say my goodbyes

But it ain't gonna happen, you never loved me
I decide against goodbye as I stare out at the sea

No need to let you know, cause it's not like you care.
That I'm too weak and this is pain that I can't bear

My dear sweet angel
There never was a love as true
As this love, that I feel for you

I'm looking back fondly on all the good times we had
And I'm terrible sorry, for every time I've made you sad

For example I love, your **** voice,
And your soft, sweet touch, makes me rejoice

There will never come a day
When from you I shall stay away

I loved you months ago, and I love you still
And even with my last breath, I always will

I don't have the words
You and I both know, that words are my thing,
I'm like a warrior, and they're the weapons I bring.
But why then, can I not explain,
this notion I entertain?
How come I can't say, what you mean to me?
It should be a simple, a few words would make you see,
but there are none in my head, just the thought of you,
but you don't know that, and so I'm feeling blue.
I could've told her, with a single line,
but with a thousand poems, I couldn't make you mine.
Perhaps there is no way, to word the way I feel,
perhaps thats how I'll know, that this is really real.

But even if I had the words, I probably couldn't say.
It's not a like girl a like you, could love me anyway.
912 · Sep 2016
You said you loved me
You said you loved me, but where's that now?
You just up and left without a tear,
Expecting me to be alright somehow,
Without the future we had drawning near
But fine then, goodbye, I'll be fine,
I just thought you meant it, when you said you were mine.
And so today ended another in a long line of things I had way too much hope for.
904 · May 2016
I don't need
I don't need these stupid thoughts you've left littered in my head
I don't need the reminders that you're no longer in my bed
I don't need your love, things will never be the same,
I don't need you any more, so take it all right to the flame

Another lie you'd spun
I should have known that our forever,
was just another lie you'd spun,
but somehow you had me thinking,
that you could have been the one.
You had me dreaming of your face,
each and every single night,
my head told me it was wrong,
and now my heart tells me I was right.

My heart beats out poems
The ceaseless rain echoes so loud,
and hides the words I can't say aloud,
words that feel heavy, on my eloquent tongue,
as my heart beats out poems, and demands they be sung.

She simply isn't you
Though she now gives me kisses, and I enjoy their heat,
her lips aren't soft like yours, nor nearly quite so sweet.
Though she makes me smile, with every "I love you"
I can't forget that moment, when you once said those words too.
Though she's the one who has me now, and does the things you'd do
it'll never be, just quite the same, she simply isn't you.
She's beautiful, and intelligent, and funny. She makes me laugh, and smile, and we go on adventures. She's there for me, and she cares about me. But she's not you.
876 · Sep 2016
Alone
And so she leaves, what we were behind
And somehow expects me not to mind.
We weren't together but I'm still not fine
In this world, where she's not mine.
From all our plans, she walked away,
And now I'm alone, on this bleakest day.

Don't throw them away
Don’t throw away the poems the poems I write
I know they won’t matter. Not after tonight
Maybe for a little while, rereading them will hurt.
But eventually, my words will be meaningful as dirt
You won’t even hear my voice whispering each word
In your head. It'll be some other voice that is heard
Don’t throw them away okay? Don’t throw away me
Don't throw away all that we used to be.
It's not about me, it's about something one of my friends said. I just reworded it to fit how I would feel in a similar situation. This reminded me of burning things in a fire.... I bet that hurt too. I'm sorry

Ripples
Poetry is just emotion distilled,
but before that, the cup must be spilled.
Passion and pain, must come and go,
before the poetry shall flow.

And when the world stops so still,
and it all becomes a frozen chill,
along comes emotion to thaw it out,
and then a ripple comes about.

And ripples grow to so much more
and so there is, poetry to adore.

What then?
Faith protects the soul,
knowledge protects the mind,
and armour protects the body,
but what then, protects the heart?

A perfect dream
The longest walk, down the road not taken,
with the most beautiful girl, unless I'm mistaken,
in the hot summer sun, that you always outshine,
oh what a perfect dream, in which you are mine.

Attachment is suffering
Without you life is a lot tougher
But you are still the reason I suffer
I got too attached and I cared to much
Now that's got me dreaming of your touch

So I don't get attached, it'll only hurt
Even looking in her eyes makes me want to flirt
Attachment is the cause of all my pain
and I'll never ever ever live through that again

But I know full well, that I'll fall again
and find I girl I think's worth the pain.
But she won't be

11:11, forever with you
11:11, forever with you
Forever to do, the things we do
I wish for eternity, with your hands in mine
Mmm, now there's a prospect that sounds divine.

11:11 forever with you
Oh how I wish, this wish could come true.

The events of tonight
Your smile shone brighter than the stars did tonight,
and though these feelings are wrong, **** they feel right,
I'm so glad you decided, to come along,
you laugh was more beautiful, than every song,
my jacket now smells, of your perfume,
and the events of tonight, made my love bloom,
so thank you my dear, tonight was so great,
too bad this all happened, just a little too late.
841 · Oct 2015
I remember
I remember all the days on which I used to let you know,
how much you mean to me and how I'll always love you so.
But you deleted all the messages and burned the poems away,
for every moment we were in love you've forgotten that whole day.
But I remember what you wore when I pinned you on the sand,
I remember how you joked I kissed away that burn that scarred your hand,
and I remember those white zip earrings, from that perfect, perfect day,
every moment of you and I, in my mind will always stay.

Of what do poets write?
Of what do poets write, when their muse has finally gone?
When they lose the girl they love, and are expected to move on?
Of what will my heart sing, when I can't sleep at night?
Now she's left me in the cold, and nothing feels alright.
To the girl I never showed my poems, maybe if I had, you'd still be here.
831 · Jun 2014
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares to your smile
Or your hair, so perfect in style
Finally I can taste your lips
with my arms around you hips
One more long awaited kiss
on this perfect day of bliss
Also writing this one from memory since someone stole the notebook it was written in
828 · Sep 2016
I didn't give up
I don't want to break my promise
And I refuse to say goodbye
So I'm not giving up
I'll love you till the day I die

Beauty to me
I once used words to build a girl wings,
Made her an angel who flew on false strings,
I wrote her endless passages of heartfelt emotion,
as I sat and stared out at the endless blue ocean.

But now I feel to much, to find the prose,
to compare your beauty, to that of a rose,
for it's incomparable, to all else I see,
but know that you, are beauty to me.

So though I don't write like I once did of her,
know that it's you, that I prefer.
For the right words don't exist, to say I love you,
but I assure you that, I truly do
826 · Sep 2014
Love.
Inevitable, unconditional and forever true
These words describe, my love for you.
You with your lips, so soft and sweet
Making my love burn, with undying heat.
Your eyes shine more than any star in the sky
I'll remember them forever, till the day that I die.
Words such as beautiful cannot begin to describe
For it's sheer perfection that I imbibe
When looking at you, my perfect love,
You're like an angel belonging, so far above.
For there are no way on earth to describe you
But as long I live, I'll always try to.
Inspired by Why you SHOULD fall in love with an artist by Marget

and of course my perfect, little angel

If I'd known
If I'd known that five thirteen
On the seventeenth
Would be the very last
Before "I love you" became the past
I wouldn't have left you alone
I'd have said "around you I feel at home"
Because I will love you always
But my hearts as empty as these hallways
Because now you'll never love me back
And now whole world's turning black
Because my perfect angels gone
But still my love burns on

As it always will.
5:13pm on the 17th of October was the last time she said she loved me. Probably the last time she'll ever say she loves me.

Cast in shade
Our every kiss, was cast in shade.
each time your presence, had my day made,
it was the dark of night, or rain, or cloud,
the pathetic fallacy was screaming loud,
yet I ignored it, for I loved you,
but now I know, I wasn't meant to.
806 · Jul 2015
Don't bother.
Your eyes are still the same grey-blue
In every way you are still you.
Yet your smile’s not warm, your voice not soft
You’re not sending, my heart aloft.
"I love you, I always will"
Yet looking at you, my heart lies still.

I guess we truly, weren’t meant to be,
Since there nothing between you and me.
Not kindness, nor friendship, nor even lust,
I was right, and all is dust.
801 · Oct 2015
Oh dear First love
And that's just it, isn't it?
There is no second love, to make this go away.
There's just the pain,
From knowing you couldn't stay.
Oh dear first love,
What else can I say?
"Why don't you write something happy?"
Because it'd be a lie.
So no I won't write something happy,
not while I want to die.
Poetry isn't something choose,
it isn't just a skill that I use,
I can't make it stop, it's not my choice,
they're not my ideas, they're just in my voice.
798 · Dec 2015
Soon
Far too long since I'd held,
those perfect, perfect hips.
Far too long since I'd kissed,
your beautiful sweet lips.
And here I am as you sleep,
wishing you a good night,
and promising you,
that it'll all be alright.
I love you, more and more
with each passing moon.
I've waited to so long,
but now I'll see you so soon
781 · Oct 2015
Goodnight my friend
Goodnight, my friend, I hope you sleep well,
I hope that tomorrow, doesn't put you through hell.
But if it does, then I want you to know,
that you're cared about no matter, where you go.
You amaze me more, than words can express,
and I'm sorry for the days, your life's full of stress.
But chin up my friend, tomorrow'll be good,
if we get what we deserve, then it really should.
It's so crap and I'm too scared to show this to her but I am overcome by feelings.
I'm in the mood to a write a poem,
give me ideas and to you I'll show 'em,
in the form of rhymes or some special prose,
romantic, sad, cute, or any of those.

I'm the mood to show some more,
but I can't show the ones, about the girl I adore.
773 · Sep 2015
Tomorrow
Oh to see you tomorrow, and taste your sweet lips,
and to once again, have my hands on your hips,
to dance in light, to sound of our song,
and have happiness, that doesn't feel wrong,
oh for that there's nothing I wouldn't do,
and tomorrow will be perfect, just me and you.

The fire
The fire ignites, in my soul,
only you, make me feel this whole,
and I know it doesn't mean a thing
but the thought of it makes my heart sing.
Whether this is wrong or right,
either way, you've made my night
