Matt Swanson Poems

I came home early to surprise you
I didn't know the darker side of you
The house was cluttered, things on the floor
And light was coming from our bedroom door
...

I'm no superman, but you can be my kryptonite,
I'm no spiderman, but you're my Mary Jane
I'm not an insomniac, but i'll see you at midnight
I'm not engaged, but you can take my name.
...

To desire love you cannot attain
To be in want for personal gain
Your words are pure, your heart on fire
We sail these straits, currents most dire
...

Star-crossed love
Ain't that enough?
Two young teens
We have time to dream
...

In my life, she is the best
Doesn't have to even try, to outdo all the rest
I truly hope we never grow apart
She's so beautiful, so funny, so smart.
...

Thought we were done
Thought you were gone
Now you're back
I'm gonna have a heart attack
...

Oh, boy. A touchy subject
Gotta use just the right dialect
Let me see, how to start?
There's a lot to say about this part...
...

A personal battle waged in my soul
The personal sacrifice taking it's toll
I don't know who's good or bad
As warriors charge in, iron-clad.
...

Love was in the air
Did you ever really care?
I did my best to let you know
But I was pained as I watched you go.
...

Falling out of place
Falling on my face
Can't believe you're really gone
What did I do? What went wrong?
...
