alex manson Poems

don't give me space
because all i want is you
time away from you is time of waste
because i need you.
...

when you talk to me
sweet relief trickles on my heart and i am free
it's pouring rain on dry grass, it's mercy.
you fulfill my every need
...

i don't really know what you're going through
but regardless, i'm here for you
because i can see
that you'd do the same for me
...

stretch a smile to make it last
give my life so you can breathe
don't want this moment to slip into the past
never wanted you to leave...
...

to say i don't care about you anymore would be a lie
i forced myself to say goodbye
though we both know
i was never able to let you go
...

Reach out to me
I’m reaching out to you
Set this soul free
That’s all there is to do.
...

Ashes, ashes, on the floor
Won’t you burn up once more?
Won’t you blow away,
And seize the day?
...

Why does the truth have to “hide”,
Why can’t it be on the outside,
Why has honesty died,
Why is it so hard to find one in which to confide?
...

Today is that day
And I'm constantly reminded
I understand I can't get away
But I wish I was blinded.
...

Whenever you're hurt
I'll help you heal
Protecting you from dirt
Helping you feel.
...
