Poetry

I never knew someone could care As deeply as you have my dear You touched my heart in ways that I Always thought I had to hide.
If I could catch the tears I've cried Of love of hate of things I'd hide My clothes would be drenched My skin would be cold But l'd dry right back up When I have you to hold.
I miss the girl I use to know Who's skin was soft and white as snow The way she laughed the way she cared All the times I stopped and stared
Am I just another memory To add to your photo book Am I just another memory Of a prize that you could hook Am I just another memory Of things that could have been Am I just another memory To haunt you in your dreams?
I know the acts you speak of So senseless and unkind I know the words you've spoken To ears that don't hear your cry But know this isn't something You must find someone to blame For evil is in all of us Understand your own to win the game.
Do you think people are products That you can simply use Then take back for a refund After you've abused There will be a price to pay This you cannot choose And love is never cheap It is a game where you can only lose
The tears | saw Running down your face When you said goodbye And walked to your gate Fell onto the pavement And ran up my shoe Into my heart And now I love you
Curled up under the sheets Her breath is soft, her body still For here she is hidden from the world Where no one can touch her will Though I do not want to disturb her peace I gently roll her over And brush away the long black hair That is covering its owner She makes a sound, a little squeak Her eyelids flutter open Warmed by the morning daylight She awakens from her slumber In my arms I hold her As her eyes meet with mine Then a familiar smile greets me And a kiss that pauses time
The one I love has forsaken me And left me in the dark She packed up all her suitcases And stole away my heart Where has she put the memories That brought tears to her eyes Where has she put the laughter The joy and the surprise Do they dwell deep down inside her Do they flicker through her mind Are the parts of me she loved greater Than the parts that she despised Let me make up for the wrong I did And hold her hand once more Let me show her how much I have changed From the man I was before
Someone who's spirit is loud And speaks from the heart Who's not afraid of taking off Their fabricated parts Who respects the choices That each man makes And walks the path Through the narrow gate This is the kind of person We must find and be For without these qualities We will never be free
Pick up your sword Pickup your shield For the world is dangerous And these you must yield Mother Nature is fair And chooses no sides But do pay attention To any anger inside For all evil in this world Man is to blame And like it or not It lies in you just the same For only when you understand How far the depths of hell go Will you also learn how much good On the world you can bestow
I light a little candle To dream of you and me I light a little candle To dream of what might be I light a little candle So we are not so far apart I light a little candle So I can see in the dark
Her fingers slip out from the cuffs of her brothers shirt And wrap around her cup of tea Her little nose dances for a moment As she sniffles at the cold air She is wearing no makeup Her hair isn't brushed No perfume or earings Just the girl that I love
Have you ever met that someone That can brighten any day No matter if its raining No matter if its grey That makes you warm and fuzzy That holds you oh so tight That tells you when your angry That tells you not to spite That teaches you of kindness That teaches you of grace Yes in my heart that special someone Holds a special place
The best perfume, candles, fragrance, makeup Kisses, cuddles, movies, takeout A woman like that, too good to be true Or so had I thought, until I met you
