I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)

the scent of incense
hangs heavy in the air
the constant murmer of voices
comes crashing like waves
but your eyes meet mine
and the faces disappear
the voices die,
all that remains
is an unspoken invitation
from my lips
willing yours to kiss them
and yours happily
meet their request
leaving our love tasting
like oranges
tenderly plucked
from moonlight lips.

My wings were clipped the day I was born
I was put under the pressure of a billion eyes
My dreams ripped my skies torn
My life was built on a faithful lie

The shadows of my imagination
feared the glare of their expectations
My broken bones, My shattered heart
Sang the stories of me being torn apart

i'm not sorry
for offering you
my love
i'm sorry
that you don't recognize
it's value
i'm sorry
you don't
deserve me
i'm sorry
for every time
you cheat yourself
out of finding
true love
but i'm not sorry
for myself
because it's your loss
not mine

I said to the chair
can you please stop
chewing my  gum
but the chair said no no no
it's so much fun
One glance
One look
One smile
And he would fall for her
One glance
One look
Once smile
And she would fall for him
And she would love him forever
even if the smile wasent meant for her lol

I can't act like I'm strong anymore,
I can't act like I'm happy anymore.
I cry to sleep almost every night.
My heart feels heavy,
Not only at 2 in the morning.
But also at 2 in the afternoon,
When I'm surrounded by people.
Laughing and giggling and,
Happy.
Now,
I can feel my life tearing apart.
I'm right there,
Sitting next to you
Laughing,
Laughing like I'm the happiest person alive.
But can you see
That I'm actually falling?
Can you see that I'm falling down?
Deeper and deeper,
As the darkness surround me.
Can someone hold on to me?
Can someone
.
.
Help me?
.
.
Please!
.

Anyone?
