What? Another one?

Yeah, this one's from a while back, and I was just reading through it.

Don’t Wake Me Up
Don’t wake me up
From this dream.
The sun sets west.
The ocean shimmers
With the slightest of breeze.
His arms constrict,
Wrap me tight.
His breath a gentle whisper on my neck.
His skin is soft,
His body strong;
He keeps me safe.
He is my heaven;
He is my dream.
So, don’t wake me up.
I never want to leave.

Endlessly

This is not what I want.
I don’t want to feel
Like I’ve been stood up
And let down.
I don’t want my heart to beat fast
At the sound of your name.
I don’t want the pain
That goes hand-in-hand with the game
That you play with my heart.
I am a person,
I have a heart.
I have a dream, even,
Not that you’d know,
Not that you’d care.
You say those words
With emotionless eyes.
Do you care?
Have you ever, at all?
You still hold my hear,
Not that you’d know.
It won’t let you go,
It clings to you, so.
I guess I’ll have to bear
The pain I go through
For even though I know I can’t anymore
I’ll always love you.

For an almost lost friend

This is a little diddy i wrote a while back for my friend. though now friendships are falling apart, i just really like the message this poem gives.


It's sometimes hard to keep smiling.
To show everyone that your fine,
That you're not hurting inside.
But you do.
You keep smiling.

But you should know
It's okay to be sad, or angry.
It's okay to cry.
You don't have to keep smiling and block the world out.
Someone will always be there to help you through.

Believe in yourself.
Never doubt who you are.
Doubt clouds your vision,
Disbelief withers away your soul.

You shine with a vibrancy unequal to others,
You brighten up peoples days.
Though it may not feel like this to you,
It's true.

Keep your head held high.
Stand up strong.
No one can bring you down.
