I Wanted To Write You A Poem

I wanted to write you a poem

To tell you what you mean to me

I wanted to write a sonnet 

Just so you can begin to see

I wanted to write down my words

But fear is holding me back

Since you aren't able to understand

I just don't understand what I lack

I wanted to share something with you

I guess that won't happen the way I want

I only wanted to tell you I love you

But my poetry to you I will not flaunt

Don't Give Up, Don't Ask Why

Imagine a time...

when everything was absolutely right.

When you looked forward to 

waking up the next day. 

When you actually slept through the night. 

When you finally felt peace.

That everything is going to be alright.

When all of a sudden your 

dreams, your hopes and strength 

are gone forever.

All you want to do is scream 

"Please God, tell me it's a dream!" 

When you wake in the morning 

to realize its reality. 

You try to fight the finality. 

You need just a little bit of normality.

You try not to think of "Why" 

all you do is cry. 

You try to be angry with God, 

but end up angry at yourself.

"Why didn't I just stay home that day?" 

"Why can't anything ever go my way?"

You crawl out of bed. 

Decide to give life another whirl. 

You reach out. 

Some reach back. 

Some don't even call back. 

Just when you thought you had no more to lose.

You do. 

These people you thought to be friends just wanted you to use.

So you lay back down just wanting to snooze, thinking why me? 

Is it how I choose?

You begin to give up. 

You don't see a reason any longer 

to even wake up. 

Then all of a sudden you hear 

the sound of the phone ring or 

a knock on the door. 

Someone there to tell you not to give up, 

you're worth so much more. 

You begin to cry while this other person 

is wondering why. 

You try to say 

"Thank you for being my friend today, 

if it weren't for you I would’ve given up

and died."

You now know the answer of "Why".

It’s to remind you 

to never give up 

and to always try. 

Now when I cry I know and don’t ask why.

I get out of bed and again I try.

Sometimes

Sometimes we see things that aren't meant to be seen.

Sometimes things aren't always as they seem.

Sometimes we need someone to call our own,

Especially when we’re alone.

Sometimes people just can’t understand,

Why things get out of hand.

Sometimes life just isn't fair,

Especially when people just don’t care.

And sometimes it's hard to say,

Why things have to be this way.

Sometimes it’s all you can do to get by,

Especially when dreams continue to die.

Sometimes it’s nice to sit in the rain.

Even to just relieve the pain.

And when we've had a really bad day,

Sometimes we just need to get away.

We never know what’s wrong with out pain.

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.

And sometimes when people get hurt, 

Even the strongest ones may need comfort.

Parasite

Existing in the realm, of its own true hell

the pacing of the parasite begins to swell

it suffers in silence yet demands to be heard

it will never survive without its bevy of words

as an infant, it fed, on what it desired

and the need to grow was quickly retired

it donned a mask it had soon acquired

and eventually dressed in regal attire

I am! I am! it said aloud

while hiding behind a glistening shroud

to none it wavered to none it bowed

worthy am I! it heartily vowed

as a thief of hearts, it sought our souls

and refused to acknowledge the unspeakable tolls

it relished our pain our faults and our woes

acted as friend yet lived as foe

for the lower we were, the higher it’s rise

sometimes nestled on pillows, feathered with lies

soaring as an eagle, through bright blue skies

impeding the light, from watchful eyes

it changed lies to belief and that belief to admiration

it became its own form, of revered celebration

though to those who saw, through the garish decoration

it was nothing more than sheer abomination 

these were few, who could actually see

how sad and sickened, this thing could be

they lost their battles, to make it flee

as it wiggled in joy and laughed with glee

and a new found strength, was gained from the seers

they found it flaunting, in front of its peers

for this mask was now learn-ed and it shed false tears

and a victim was born, its path, though not cleared

for as day turns to night, conflicts persist

the heart can grow cold, but the soul still resists

new defenders of truths will continue to enlist

and the spirit of God will always assist

yes a fight ensued, yet the beast stood tall

and flashed it’s lies, fooling most all

it cried poor me, and with such great gall

It is I who has suffered!, was it’s deceptive call

the truths presented the stern manipulations

the deeds that were done, with much stipulation

the lies that served, as mere stimulations

and these they hoped, were condemning revelations

the mask took form, and revealed a child

the innocence of eyes that appeared softly wild

no sign of his pride, no sign of the vile

how dare the "truths" accuse him of guile

hearts blood flowed, and non seers cried

as the villagers witnessed a man so tried

a man who was beaten, and his humanity denied

a man who was not evil, but sanctified!

The steel once hot, now cooled to strength

it enveloped his soul and his body at length

the blood of hearts, flowing in sync

protected him now from morality’s links

alas truth lost, but so did the beast

for a cancer did grow, and on lies it did feast

from within his throat, it locked in its feet

and his mask is now meeting a deadly defeat

Existing in the realm, of its own true hell

the pacing of the parasite begins to swell

it suffers in silence yet demands to be heard

it will never survive without its bevy of words

Two

We only need... One... Two...

Counting just me and you

Two hearts that beat as one

Two souls that cannot come undone

Two lives intertwined forever

Two people that belong together

Two lips that meet allow sparks to fly

Two bodies that will go so high

Two hands that grope and touch

Two people who love each other so much

We only need... One... Two...

Just me... and just you!
