Josh Burnett Poems

I love dwelling inside of this fantastic misery,
And yes I know that I am contradicting,
But I guess it must be the happy inside of me.
Let me take your hand and you can lead.
...

It’s time for us to say our goodbye.
I know that it will make you cry.
Just know that I will miss you,
And I’ll stop and think about the time we spent.
...

I look to the future and I know what I want to be and what I want to do with this life.
But you keep looking at me with the piercing eyes, and do not believe I can succeed.
I try to take a step forward, but you turn around on me and push three steps backward.
I try to make you understand that this is for the better of me, but you can only laugh.
...

I was down to the very end about to lose everything.
Every girl I went with tried to do nothing but play me.
I was so tired and exhausted of playing and fighting.
I just seperated myself from everyone around me.
...

My love is like a time bomb ticking away,
And it's sitting there waiting to blow up in your face.
Will you be knocked off your feet or not even phased?
Will you grab my heart or just throw it away?
...

I never wanted to see the light of the sun shining so bright.
I just wanted to reamin in the pitless dark and hide my heart.
My life was being tossed around and turned upside down inside out.
I was never sure about anything in this life and I wanted no more.
...

I keep on trying while I keep on fighting.
I feel like I'm losing but so glad you're winning.
I know that this is the start of a new beginning.
I'm so glad that this pain is ending.
...

I've called out so many times in the darkness,
But I would never hear the answer back.
It's been a year since I've been able to feel,
And I don't even know if my life is real.
...

Well alone is where I want you,
Where nobody can tell us what to do.
You're so cute cute and I don't even want to think it through.
I know it could be wrong but it feels so right,
...

Tell me sweet one, why is your heart lost?
Tell me how it can be found and I'll pay the cost.
I see the tears creep from your eyes as you wonder why.
You get hurt every time, on my shoulder I will let you cry.
...
