It was all for you

There's some things, they say
That just won't fit into words
Pushing and shoving this and that way
The deepest thoughts are never heard

I will try
-Though I'll share this with no one-
To describe the sky
 Hopefully with some sense of a tone

You weren't just my first girlfriend
You're al I dream anyone could be
wildest hopes of mine you'd far transcend
You only ever brought pure joy to me

I don't know if it was my imagination
Or the fact that I was loved by An angel
The whole universe in cooperation
Life was bright and it never changed

Once upon a time
I couldnt even listen to music
Cause tunes hummed in lullabies
Made me only think back to you

Emotions to dark to put Into words
I was just so damn lost
With no idea where to turn
Don't you see you were my Sun?

Every poem for two years now
A step back in memories time
So dangerous yet I couldn't
Just tell myself it wasn't real

They covered up that bench we
Carved our names by the sea
And I go there and a voice says to me
Did it really happen? Or was it a movie?

I always salute that park in town
Yet keep my eyes looking down
Our first kiss like it was yesterday
Please tell me you know the way
I wish you were here

If you could read my mind you wouldn't understand
How beautiful you are to me.
You are a ten you are a perfect score
However you like to say it
You are perfect to me

I don't know where red hair came from
But I can spot yours a mile away
There will never be a girl I meet again
That I don't compare to you

I try to tell Noah
How bad I want to get you back
And he tells me be prepared if you don't like me back
He doesn't get
I can't be around you without thinking of dates we could go on
I can't talk to you without shaking because I want to tell you what you do to me
Yet I have to keep those words in
Cause you don't want to hear them

I'll go to the park alone
And that's fine I'm not stupid
I get you don't want me
But you don't get how I want you

I'm sure you've noticed I don't look you in the eyes 
When we talk but you never asked why
It because I can't bear another memory 
Of looking into the blue that rivals the sea

I know I can love other people
I'm not single minded
But to think the memories I have are dead
They will not ever happen again
That
That breaks my heart
Because I'd give anything to hold you on a night like this
To hear you tell me you like me
To see you smile at me because of me
Instead of at someone who only pretends to love you

Maybe this isn't the end
I surely don't know
But I need to let go I think
And begin to end again

I don't think you'll ever read this
But if you do
Know that I'd jump into that pool for you
Whether it was full of concrete or not
I can only control some of my dreams about you
But others will haunt me to the day I die
I'm sorry if I annoy you with my winking or stupid stories
But you've got to realize:
I'd kill myself if I didn't at least try




I do believe that life goes on in time
But what I also know 
Is that you've ruined a part of mine

Down day 1

I saw You today
But you didn't see me
We talked today
But you didn't say anything to me

I'm just a shape to you
You're everything to me
I'm another pair of shoes
You're all I dream to envy

I'm starting to see things as they are
Hopeless, lost, and just so damn far
You'll never feel this love the same
As it was before now I'm a name

The most heart wrenching thought
 that's always got my attention caught
Is that I let you walk away
Without even saying goodbye

I have sweet, painful memories
Your voice sweeter than symphonies
The echo of your heart drumming
Your eyes a lofty tune humming
I was yours and you were mine
I'd never felt fullness so divine
Blowing in the wind your elusive red hair
My Wendy and your Seth the bear

The saddest thought I'll have is when
I know those eyes will never again
Look at me that way
 You once did and say,
"Let's go to California?"

the lies I must tell myself

a sliver of hope creeping through the door
or a glance perhaps by accident- i wouldn't know
the sound of your feet on the same floor
theres too many signs to show

I've always been a hopeful soul
cup of water is ever half full
and in the same way
i'm hoping with all my heart that youll stay

maybe my mind has already taken it too far
but I wont live without another scar
from at least trying to get you to see
all the things we could be

im going to tell you straight
its not a matter of fate
i wont take anything but "yes"
"I'd love to take you on a date"

Im too young and see too dark
hear sin in every bark
to let this pass by our of fear
i'd kick myself for years

I want to hurt again when you leave
oh cant you like me believe
that the pain so bad only comes
when there has been nothing but love

be honest with me dear
don't say no because of fear
let me try to love you again
forever from yesterday is when

Aching hearts cannot speak


Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.


What is there to say about what's already been taken away? You don't see me and all I see is you
You've never dreamed but of others when I have only dreamed of you
You've only longed for peace and love and things that are easy to get while I have longed for you
Tell me you're sorry and I'll ask why
You don't love me will be your reply
I don't think I could ever not love you
Or at least dream things could happen again
Maybe that's too hopeful
I have no way of finding out
