Aplier Hao Poems

Every time
I turn around
To see that you're not there
...

I long to hold you in my arms
And claim you for my own
But a soul as free as yours
Ought to be left to roam
...

I want to believe
That there is a future
I want to believe
That there was no past
...

I'm holed up here
Inside your heart
You call me dear
Your little lark
...

Though I see you
Most every day
It's not for real
It's not the way
...

A desperate man
I truly am
I've made my lies
And now I hide
...

When I'm telling the lie
That's so hard to believe
As I painfully try
To just let you be
...

See the droplets burning red
Leaking from painless cuts
Left behind for the dead
Left behind to give up
...

Even the my life's
Been turned upside down
All I need to smile
Is just to look around
...

If I could write you
A thousand words or two
Not one of them would be true
...
