I won't deny that I love you
and have loved you
I am expressly happy where I am
and whatever innate bond we share
may be powerful, but I will not
let it destroy this.
What do I do with you?
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

Unrequited
I am the unrequited portion
In the unrequited love songs
I am the missing variable
In your life equation

Boy, I love you more than words can say
Boy, I love you more than the tears in my emotionless eyes can display

Married
If I married for money
I'd have long moved away from here.
If I married for practicality,
I'd find a chiropractor.
If I married out of passion,
It would have come and gone.
If I married for love,
I'd be right where I am.

Mustn't be Alone
It's quite contradictory, you see
I don't want to see
You because I love you
Because of the things you
do to me, you see, don't
you, why it is I don't,
I wont, be alone with you.
Oh, oh, to be alone with you
again.
I don't want to see

Confession of Inadequacy
I need you. Why are you so good to me?
I'm tired of crying myself to sleep at night.
I have so many thoughts that I long to share with you
I don't even know where to begin.
Do I start at what you want to hear and
End with what you need to know?
Should I subject you to my every struggle?
I love you so much. It makes me cry.
You're so good to me and for me.
Sometimes I almost feel like you're too good for me
Not that I'd use that as a reason to leave
Or to do wrong
But if anything, something to strive toward.

I love you. I hate you.
I love you. I hate you.
I don't like dragging you in circles.
I want to hold onto you and push you away.
I want to rip you from my life and talk to you at every second.
No, I don't have a plan.
No, I don't know what to do or what i am going to do.

Love is Not Enough
"You look like you love him a lot."
I do. But love isn't enough.
He is so fantastic to me.
Such an amazing individual.
Not for me? Not right now?
I feel peace about this internal decision.
Fear of loss and pain.
Terrified of what this means
...for both of us.
It hurts me the most
to know how badly I will hurt him.
I love him so much.
Maybe not enough.

Anyway, Perhaps
There are always choices to be made
Some are more difficult than others
Love.
Tears.
Apart.
Fear of arrival
Un or announced
I cannot lie to you
I cannot even stretch truths
You know me
You read me
You love me
What is love, anyway?

The End Could Be Neigh
But I love you
I don't want to be through
You keep me safe
You keep me sane
This may be the end, though
To what we have
To what we've built
and carefully crafted
You and I, we're just not the same
(no matter how much I try)
We're not on the same level
Though equal we may be
I don't want to be through
You keep me safe
You keep me sane
This may be the end, though
To what we have
To what we've built
and carefully crafted
You and I, we're just not the same
(no matter how much I try)
We're not on the same level
Though equal we may be
Good things and more
I want what you offer me
I want where you can take my life
I love you for who you are
I want where you can take my life
I love you for who you are

i miss you
i miss you.
and i dont know what to do.
i dont mean physically.
i mean mentally and emotionally.
you and i are not close anymore.
what happened, where did it go?
did i leave?
or did you just not care?
i miss you.
this isn't what i want.
i've tried to satisfy myself elsewhere
i miss your brain. i miss you.
i've been stupid.
will you forgive me?
i've been stupid.
that doesn't bring you any closer.
i dont want all of this.
i want you. i miss you.

This Love Thing
I like you quite a lot.
And I love you.
However, I believe,
I am falling in love with you
much more than ever
has been before.
It really is somewhat
disgusting to my brain,
this whole love thing.
But you make me happy always;
just to be around you,
and in your presence.
I'm enamored,
absorbed,
addicted
to who you are.
And exceptionally content
to call you mine.
And I love you.

just to be around you,
in your presence
I'm enamored,
absorbed,
addicted
to who you are.
Occasionally it brings thoughts of
marriage, houses, money,
our lives as one
and perhaps producing more.
And I stop.
PAUSE.
We're so young. So much life left.
Neither of us are prepared for anything more.
But I still like to fantasize
that we'll be together from here and beyond.

Waiting...
I don't know how to do this part.
I love him.
We are together.
We are apart.
There is so long to wait.
What do we do now?
We see each other.
We love each other.
We don't play house.
We don't have sex.
We wait.
There is so long.
One year turns into three.
Three into four.
Then, perhaps, we wait no more.

Pretend
I know I can talk to you
Just sometimes I forget that
Afraid of what you'll say
Afraid of what you'll think
I really am not as strong
as I pretend to be
I am afraid of you
I am afraid of me
What if I give you
too much of myself?
