If I were You and You were Me!

If I were you and you were me,
What would I see?
...

I have a bad case of writer's block,
so I keep watching the clock.
Hoping for an idea to show,
wanting these words to flow.
...

Forever frozen in place am I,
as still and quiet as a night-time sky.
In a time of peace and serenity,
forever frozen is this sweet entity.
...

I'm not okay,
no, not today.
I'm terribly sad,
and a bit mad.
...

The last poem I wrote,
ended on a sad note.
So I thought I'd write one more,
that the reader might adore.
...

I’m falling down, from the highest building.
As I begin my fall, I shine out like the city lights.
I feel you, watching me, like I am one of those beautiful lights.
I want you to reach out and grab me, make me your light.
...

Where am I?
Am I in the sky?
I am not here,
and I am not there.
...

I can see it now,

your face in my mind.
...

You take my breath when you smile,
you stop my heart when you look my way.
I've felt this way for a while,
but still there is not a word I can say.
...

My love so sweet, my love so dear,
I must give you the news that I know you fear.
My love is now growing, blooming as a flower,
but in another direction, and I have no power.
...

The constant remembrance of bad deeds done,
only hopeing they will all be gone with the rising sun.
Seeing sadness, hopelessness revealed,
knowing deep down my fate is sealed.
...

As sunlight shines out from the barren sky,
I sparkle and glitter as I slowly die.
Drip after drip, I begin to fade away,
Only wishing that I could stay.
...

The arms reach out from the darkness I see,
The hands stretch farther beckoning to me...
Light is gone from this place of obscenity,
Darkness goes on from miles to infinity.
...

I remember when my life wasn't great,
when darkness and despair was my fate.
When life seemed so hard,
and all I had was the 'death card.'
...

Everyday I stare at the clouds in the sky,
wondering why that I'm so shy.
I want to say these words to you,
because for years they have been so true.
...

Distrust and hate are my feelings toward you,
I see in your eyes that you feel this way too.
The fire in your eyes tells of something new,
A plan has been hatched towards an innocent two.
