I never considered myself a poet, but I find myself writing poetry nonetheless. While I don't consider it to be great, I do enjoy my work.
Most of my poetry is about one subject: Love in all it's complexities.
Also, please note, that I'm only posting poetry from January 2008 and On.
My poetry is listed from latest to oldest (top to bottom), and each are dated with the actual date they were written.
It was never my decision,
But thinks for the consideration.
I know you intended no harm,
But, babe, it just goes with your charm.
As much as I wish it were true-
You just don't see things the way I do.
My decision, sweetheart, I made long before,
And nothing you do will change it's core.
I took that dive, fell in deep;
I'm all in, so please take the leap.
It's all up to you, whether you like it or not.
So, stop wasting time and call the shot.
Don't start and let it be.
You have no right to use the word;
You wouldn't know love
If it wore a bozo button on its ear
And danced naked on your nose.
"Much love and good times"
But what is this love you speak of?
Good times we had, many in fact,
Love, however, was a one-way street.
You knew my heart, you chose to ignore
"Better left on the backburner"
Didn't want the truth to ruin what you had.
I lived, I dealt, I pretended all was grand
Deep down I knew that I would pay.
With tears and sorrow I watched you go
One last embrace, our goodbyes
It should have been the epic end.
I tried to let go, to move on in life
I tried to ignore you in my dreams at night.
"I thought of you; I miss you."
Who are you trying to fool?
Yet, still these words I looked over.
Friends miss friends, regardless of whats unrequited.
I did fine, managed to stop over thinking things
I shrugged it off as just being what you do.
"Much love and good times"
I hope you have your good times
And let me have mine
But I hope you know how much it hurts
To have you use love so simply
When you know very well what it does to me.
Chest hurts as my heart pounds out another beat.
This feeling is one I've faked a thousand times over
But the reality of it is more wrenching than I figured.
You take a part of me that I'll never get back again...
So this is my goodbye, no longer will you get a cry
I'll see your face in my mind, but I won't repay in kind
I'm saying goodbye to you, my love.
And one last time I'll whisper the truth:
I will always love you.
Tears flow unbidden, a final cleansing of my soul
I can't knock down the walls I've placed
And as much as I deny it, you're the one to blame
Go away, hide your heart, say to all how you don't feel
I'll take comfort in the fact that I know how deep it hurts you...
So this is my goodbye, I won't continue to fuel the lie
I'll see your face in my mind, but I won't repay in kind.
I'm saying my goodbye to you, my love
But one last time I'll let it all show; I'll let the world know:
I will always love you.
Moving on again, I'll let it all go, or I'll try to pretend
The life I see within my grasp grows less hazy as I see what it lacks
No more pining, no more whining, no more wishing you were here
I realize my feelings are requited, but I know it changes nothing
I'll go my way, you'll go yours, and are paths won't intwine down the line...
So this is my goodbye, no longer will you get a cry
I'll see your face in my mind, but I won't repay in kind
I'm saying goodbye to you, my love.
But one last time I'll let it all show; I'll let the world know:
I will always love you.
My love, I hope you hear my final plea, my last words.
Goodbye, goodbye, my love, goodbye.
Another memory lost in sight
Try not to feel with all my might
You're closer now than ever before
A glimpse of what I want; I need more.
A bite here, I caress there
Not sure how much more I can bear
In my dreams I still see you
Sometimes I wonder if you do too.
My best friend says I'm not alone
That it's just fear that sets your tone
But I must stop believing in this hope
For here, shortly, I must learn to cope.
You'll be gone, making your way
While in your hands- my heart on a tray.
Cling to me, tell me which way
I try so hard to focus on the facts
But hope keeps shobing it's way in.
How can I go on like this;
This is everything I've wanted
With a price I'm not sure I can pay.
I want this; I want you
But only getting half way
Will never be enough for me.
I want it all or nothing at all.
If I told you I love you,
would you hear me out?
If I laid my heart aside
And let my pride die?
If I asked you to stay,
would you hear me out?
If I fell to my knees
And asked you to choose me?
If I said I wanted to try
would you hear me out?
If I let go of the past
And look on to my future?
If I pondered the us,
would you hear me out?
If I said I'll be here for you
And I promised to care?
If I decided to try
would you hear me out?
If I give as much as I recieve
And continued to believe?
