I’ll be your trusty tool
Always by your side
Ready at a moment's notice
I’ll be your tool

Hammer, axe, saw, wrench
Anything you need me to be
I can be it all and do it all
I’ll be your tool

Any structure, building, project
Nothing is too short, tall, wide, or thin
Whether fleeting or prolonged
I’ll be your tool

Sketch your ideas onto paper
And I’ll bring them into reality
Always with you, to use or abuse
I’ll be your tool

So please don’t let me rust

The world is a flash of colors
Red, Blues, Greens
All merge
To paint a beautiful symphony
A blotchy canvas to the naked eye

Figures shift in and out of view
All different, all colorful
Focus, unfocus
Nothing is clear
Colors, sights, sounds
A whirlwind of blurs and blobs

Focus, unfocus, focus
Focus until the picture is clear
Focus until faceless shapes become more
Focus until the world is alive

Pristine colors fill perfect lines
Shapes morph into objects
Colors become one
Figures breath life
Everything is clear

So clear
Nothing is left unseen
Every inch, nook, and cranny
Exposed
Dragged into the light

Every imperfection
Every little blemish
Every disgusting speck
Magnified
The picture focuses into full view

But I prefer to be blind

I trusted you
I thought we were friends
But friends don’t play cat and mouse
Friends don’t make empty promises
Friends don’t leave you feeling empty
Friends don’t bring out the ugly in you
The parts you desperately try to lock away
Friends don’t make you regret your decisions
Friends don’t shake you to the core
Friends don’t mislead you
Then again
Maybe I don’t know what friends are

Roses are red, violets are blue
Another cliche love poem for two
A sappy line about my endless love
One more about some random doves

Here are some more horrible lines
This second one is about time
Another love poem so overrated
Another love story that’s outdated

A modern day Romeo and Juliet
Couples caught in the money net
Lines and sayings that are so absurd
A million and one times I’ve heard

Every story is just like the last
Every story starts from the past
A couple fights for no reason
Because the plot demands tension

Unrealistic expectations and goals
It’s fiction trying to relate to your soul
The same old plot again and again
Honestly, this is getting quite bland

People keep reading the same stuff
The audience just can’t get enough
Conflict so stale, boring, and dry
But it still makes grown women cry

I’ll never understand the big appeal
Nothing in the movies ever seem real
Despite me being rather unzealous
I think deep down I’m just jealous

Roses are red, violets are blue
All I can think about is you and only you
My passion, my purpose, a fire in the night
You are the only one that feels just right

A beautiful soul brought out by mutual love
We connect like no other, we fit like a glove
The flutter in my heart soars high in the air
A world without you, my soul cannot bear

Take my being, my mind, and my heart
You’ve captivated me from the very start
All questions are answered, only one left to be
The only question left, is will you marry me?

The fire burns low, the light is gone
The sun sinks into the sky and stars rise
A moon hangs low in the never-ending night
Our journey was fun, but it ends here

We basked in laughter, and drowned in tears
When time decides, we will write another song
For now let the melody end and enjoy the night
Our next song will be grand, a true sight to behold

The adventure was fun, nothing can compare
But our destination has arrived, it’s time to let go
Don’t cry, don’t fret, because like the world
All good things must come to an end

I miss your smile, your sparkling eyes
Leaving you was my only sin
Until the stars align nothing is right
But I’ll keep searching without a telescope

Searching through galaxies is no easy feat
So leave it up to fate and take off the mask
Whether change is to come, or everything’s the same
Your presence never leaves my mind

The sky turns dark, the music stops
Stars disappear and my world crashes down
The cosmos have sung, and decided my fate
For a short time, it was you I despised

But the sky cleared up, the music started playing
I kick myself for leaving and not turning around
After I realized you were never coming back
Part of me wished to play another song

Stars haven’t aligned, the cosmos haven’t sung
I wait for eternity, but you never appear
Maybe it’s time for me to move on
But that lingering hope still burns inside
