Love Isn't Blind

They say poets write about love while they sleep.

What do they know of love, what secrets do they keep?

I write about love, not knowing the word.
It is just an idea that seems quite absurd.

I read their words, and follow their lines.
But all that I hear is 'love is blind.'

But it see's my pain, and my growing fear.
Love can see just fine, it just can't hear.

It can't hear my voice when in full despair.
I scream, and cry, but love just sits there and stares.

Go on love, just watch me wither and die.
I can live life without you, while some won't even try.

My poems have an odd rhythm. Like they are suppose to be spoken aloud but never made it that far.

Why Do I Hate You?

Why do I hate you. Because I love you. But you couldn't careless, So my life is a mess. Why do I hate you. Because I want you. When I try to make you smile, You drop my heart like it's out if style.

No Love No Mercy

Please can you take my breath away... Please can you help me. I cannot stay. I'm falling weaker, I'm breathing slower.. Depart me from this agonising pain forever. Tell me. Do you have any empathy.

Unrequited

My eyes are the mirror to my soul, If you look you will see my goal. I hope in vain that you will release me from this torment, Someday you will recognise my intent.

When you laugh, your laughing at me. When you smile, it's for her. When your angry, I'm in the way. When your sad, it's because of her. When your happy, I watch in silence.

What Am I To You?

Do you ever read them. The poems I write for you. I read all YOUR posts. Even though there's only two. You see, if it wasn't for you, If you weren't in my life.

When...

The air becomes foggy,. When I see your smile,. My heart seems soggy,. And stays for a while,. No doubt, you saw me too,. But didn't stare for long,. I don't know what I'll do,.

Not Quite

Well, it was never Us There was always you, always me But there was never quite Us. - On a bench we'd sit Looking out at the same place, Breathing the same morning air, Filled with early summer...
