I'm cold, she told me
I said that's okay, I'm warm
That's how it began
We never pictured the end
Due to us being young and dumb
We believed we would live and be together forever
Such foolish things to believe
Nothing is forever
Not even forever
Forever fades
And becomes less and less familiar
A passing face
A face which turned everyone bitter

I don't know what to write.
I start to write what seems to be something great,
But, in the end, doesn't seem right.
The late nights I spend,
Trying to figure out what words to write down,
My brain forsakes my pen.
I now find myself distracted by an odd sound.
My brain is here and there,
It can't concentrate,
For it wants to go everywhere.
Maybe it's because it's late?
That has to be why I am unable to concentrate,
It must be.
I should sleep.
Goodnight.

Life is ******.
Everything is ******.
**** this life.
I'm only here for her, even if all I ever do is cause her strife.
**** all of it,
I'm tired of this ****.

Does she even need me?
Should I leave her be?
After all, I'm sure she's sick of me
I want her to be free.
Not chained,
And for me to be the one to blame.

I don't know,
Whether I should stay or go,
It's all too confusing,
This constant feeling of losing.
Don't worry. I won't commit to such tragic acts. I just needed a way to vent my frustration, thus creating this poem.

Tuck me in,
Into a place where I feel safer in than now.
Tuck me in,
Into a place where, in front of me, people will bow.
Tuck me in,
Into a place where your apologies mean something,
Tuck me in,
Into a place where it will take me away from everything.
Tuck me in,
Into a place where my happiness will last

Ah! Hello to you!
How do you do?
Been far too long!
Seeing you makes me so joyful, I feel like breaking out into song.
A joyful muse you have been to me,
You always did bring me much glee.
It was tragic when we parted ways,
Even when I asked you to stay.
When you left it brought me much pain.
At least you are here again!
Here with me!
Here to bring me glee!

Your beauty astonishes me.
You're the sweetest and prettiest thing I've ever seen.
Astonished at your love and affection,
I call you the personification of perfection.
A being of dreams,
Woven by them, but invisible are your seams.
Because you're title of perfection.
I can't sleep because of the beauty you show.
That smile you flaunt and taunt,
Haunts me when I can dream.
Set my soul free, my fair queen.

Unlike the rest,
I am depressed.
The reason why I am so sad,
Is because I lost what I once had.
But I should be glad,
Because I lover her and she loved me even when I was sad
