Josh Burnett Poems

I can hear your whispers behind my back.
I know that your words are a dart.
Trying to pierce an already broken heart.
I want you to stay,
...

I look into your deep dreams.
Every time my heart skips beats.
The way you say the things you do.
It makes me fall harder for you.
...

Here I sit again drowning in the pool of happiness with thoughts of you.
I can't help but to take that picture of your smile and just stare.
Although you are not here I can somehow feel you in the atmosphere.
I take a deep breath in and exhale and I can smell you in the air.
...

Live this life, walk this line, that's what you say to me.
This is this, that is that, that's what you tell me.
This is right, that is wrong, that's what you scream.
Do as I do, say what I say,
...

These chains bound my wrists and legs and I cannot move.
Not a single inch. My heart is locked away waiting for the key.
It seems that my mind is the only thing that can be free,
But even then I begin to choke on thoughts and I can't breathe.
...

I look at you even if it is just an image,
And I can see my life flash in that instant.
There's so much that I want to say,
But you just won't stop and listen.
...

I walk away from the only thing that I feel.
I burn myself away from what I knew to be real,
And I finally know that my fate has already been sealed.
I know that the pain could never heal.
...

You tell me that you are so sad.
You don't think there's anyone at all,
And it hurts you so bad.
You just want to crouch up in a ball,
...

It's believable that day turns into night,
And the moon can turn the tides.
It's believable that the waves erase the sand,
So we may pretend it's unmaked land.
...

I want to be the sun in your life,
And let the warm rays hit you in the face.
I want to be your stars at night,
When everything seems faded away.
...
