Distracted by You

I am distracted by you
By the thought of what could be
I don't even know who you are
Just who I hope you could be.

Reaching Out

I'm reaching out
grabbing for the closest hand

will it be yours
that pulls me to my feet?

I'm wanting someone,
something

is it you?
is it this?

I know what I'm hoping for
but is it really what I want?

Melodies

I wish I could put in words
The melodies I hear inside.

If only there was a way
to express the music I hear

I could have beautiful
words.
Flowing
lines.
Graceful
notes.

Up, Down, Half-step
One after another,
Perfect succession.

If only there was a way to express the music I hear
inside of me.

Stupid Love Poems

I don't want to feel this way
even if it's
just so
I'll
stop writing
these
stupid love poems

*intermission from poetry*

I have another blog now, which I will use for non poetry related things.
Check it out:

Ramblings of an Insomniac

Did I Miss Something

You haven't called.
You haven't text.
Did I miss something?
Is it over?
Was it ever really started?

You came on to me.
You talked to me.
You called me.
"Can I take you out some time?"

If the offer still stands,
Bring it on.
If you've changed your mind
Then let me know.

I know there is an age difference,
But I'm almost over that now.
Give a woman long enough
And she'll rationalize anything.

So if you're still interested,
Bring it on.
But if not
Then, at least let me know.

If You Need Me

All that I have in me
Screams out at me
To tell you the truth

But I look at you and
You're happy
You're content

I can't throw a wrench
in your relationship
You have a girlfriend

You're happy
...so that's where I stop.
I'm here if you need me

Can't Go Away

I'm always there
...floating in the background
Won't I go away
you ask

I can't go away
I've tried many days
I'm just a ghost from your past
I will always be there
...sometimes tangible
...sometimes only a faint memory

Soft as a whisper at dusk
I am always there
I am always near
I will never go away
Though I've tried many days

The Fine Art of Hiding my Feelings

I smile when I'm near you
I laugh when I'm with you
I think about you when we're apart

I want your undivided attention
I've fallen in love
I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen

Your the sweetest I've had
but I didn't see it in time
I didn't mean
to play with you
when I had you
I didn't realize
I was playing with my own heart

I didn't tell you my feelings
When I had the chance
Now, I'm the not so proud
owner of a Broken Heart.

You can't see how it is I feel
I've mastered (to well)
the fine art of
hiding my feelings.
I'm proficient, but to much so.

So here, on this paper,
I lay out my feelings
for you
...to never see.
