"ithout" poems
Stagnancy leads to control and exploitation.
Without the flows of change within
Our society, we can't hope to
Reinvigorate ourselves and
Dig ourselves out of this
Everlasting pit of
Desolation.

What am i ?
the betrayer; embracing
there lies
his guilt
her shame
Understanding nothing with loose lips, creating
the cultist; with
there dignity
his voice
her distress
My high quality facade is
the shadow; causing
there insanity
his experiment
her instability
Without care, its eyes fade and voice dims into
the nothing; blaming
there conformity
his understanding
her ambition

T rying to spread the word
W hich remains to be untold
T rying to reach out
W ithout knowing a single soul
T rying to stand my ground
W hen nothing is beneath my feet

We can write words of gratitude on paper,
Or to all the world her virtues make known,
Or ev’n pour forth our love to her in measure,
But, in vain, try to move her heart of stone…!
Here is a friend who taught us much we need to know:
Right from wrong and weak from strong,
Lit and English, too;
All this time she’s been working steadily tho’ slow –
She’s stol’n our hearts ‘ithout even attempting to woo!
…One day we will remember, tho’ some wish not to,
These days of pain and pleasure, we all have in school;
There are those you thank for every small thing they do
But how to thank her who made a person of you?
We can write words of gratitude on paper,
Or to all the world her virtues make known,
Or ev’n pour forth our love to her in measure
But,
Oh…! Oh…! How to move her heart of stone?
May our sorrowful year with you remain in our memory
As a farewell serenade, a sad and tearful melody.

don't get me wrong//it's nice to be wanted
and you are so. much. prettier. than. most.
but i'm onlyhalflistening, l ov e
my chest is chain》ed》 to 》a 》ghost
my mind knows-so-much-better
{i'm so lucky to have you}
your hands know how to hold me
{your lips know all the songs}
but i when i'm looking in your {brown}eyes;
it's only g.r.e.e.n. that i see
and i-swear-if-i-knew-how-to-fight-it
i'd go ****** //i'd go black and blue
if o n l y. I could sh^a^ke^ her
{if i could un _ . think all the words}
i'd give all i have just to savor
i long to taste anything
....that i didn't com》pare to her lips
my God howhermouthhaunts
{i can't think ₩ithout her voice^in^my^head}
i'm helpless and unworthy-of-all-your-wants
you. are. so. lovely.
in so {allofthe} many ways
i have enjoyed our mo^ment^s
{i have hoped these feelings would
....leave me}
how i have kept you;... on. the. fence.
and now; it'sonlyfair to s/ev//er
despite how good; i-should-let-you-go
it's a @selfish@ way of living
{letting you love me so}
When i'm Not ReaLLy Giving
in these moments you'll hate me
{onceyouknowallofthetruth}
think of me in spiteful ways
you'll want to __ keep __ trying
you'll be con\vinc\ed it can be °changed
beaUtiful one: YoU de _ serve MORe
theressomethingaboutthegirl i can't name
maybe I'm just addicted-to-wanting
Or may》be i'm not ready to be save---d
