I'm that friend
Who you ask to the mall
On those weekends
Where it's so nice
And sunny
That everyone's at the beach.

I'm that friend
That you walk home
With
On days
Where everyone else
Has mountains of
Homework.

I'm the friend
That you ignore
When they text you
Because they're so
THICK
That they're
Too stupid
And
Desperate
To take the hint.

I will never be your first choice.
But I can settle for last.

If it means
Going to the mall
With you
On those weekends
Where it's so nice
And sunny
That everyone's at the beach.

If it means
Walking home
With you
On days
Where everyone else
Has mountains of
Homework.

And if it means
Getting that one text
Saying that
You
"Have to go"
And you'll
"Ttyl."

I'll settle for that.

If only I could wipe the bitterness from my tongue
and rub the pain from my eyes
As if it were some dream
that never truly touched me
I'd find the purity I was born with

Those eyes
Full of despair
The way she felt
It wasn't fair

So full of pain
She was drenched
It falls with the rain
So drenched


So bitter with the taste of fear
Sitting in her mouth, just sitting
With the taste of tears
Spitting it out, spitting

Abandoned left all alone
Neglected her heart left at home
Without anyone around
It lay broken and beaten into the ground

Black eye and bruised face
Her wings broken in last place
Smiling still she was dying
Falling broken her children crying

Until she opens her eyes
Someone new in her place
The years she spent dying
That person left with no trace

She was dead
After the years she bled
The goodness of her left shed
Left a broken soldier instead

Broken wings on a butterfly
Struggling to breath
Don't
         Let
                 It
                           Die
Cold stings frozen hands
No snow falls
No
            One
                                        Understands
Soft strum of your guitar strings
The fast flutter of quick fingers
Along
             I
                         Sing
In your arms I'm safe and sound
Just you and me
               No
                            One
                                               Around
Watch the sun drop before our eyes
The stars left hanging there
Lighting
         Up
                       The
                                     Sky
Close your eyes
Before what we have dies
Like a flame
Bending the same
We
                Must  
                               Ignite
                                                         Tonight
Before our wings give out

Every line a perfect metaphor
Every stanza a perfect simile
You're the poem I wish I wrote
Because you are perfect
The muse to every poem I write
I love you
I wish I could read you
Day in and day out
You're the poem I wish I wrote
But you're the poem I fell in love with
And get to read as long as you're with me
