David Knox Poems

You took my sorrow
And You made that my strength
You gave me a purpose and told me to go
You spoke to me and gave me my faith
...

When I get up in the morning and see first light
I remember it's a promise
When the sun begins to set with color
I remember it's a promise
...

If you were in the same situation... would you?
If you had the power to control the world
The chance to mold
It, to make it bend to your will
...

I'll write you this poem for being there
For being a person to message me, a person to care
Thanks for actually talking to me
It's always nice to see
...

Too much trash
Too much pain
Too much hurt
Too much life
...

There will be no sleep
The pains of hunger
The searing burn of thirst
Discomfort
...

Fingers dash across keys, type, type, type
Awkwardly from one key to the next, I told myself I wouldn't write
The computer, the ginger tea, the black text in a sea of white
They subside
...

I meet you... I met you
Then suddenly, erratically, irrationally, I have feelings for you
Sadly I'm not even sure the person who
You are, and you don['t know me.. so then how could you possibly have feelings for me
...

I like to do this irrational thing
Some spirit of irony beckons me forward
Into this folly and fun, so onward I charge, onward I fling
My heart's words into this inked paper, praying they are ignored
...

Are you waiting for me?
Am I waiting for you?
I hope you are not denying yourself happiness for my sake
I think at one time I loved you, I Think you might have loved me too
