Joseph Cross Poems

To a girl with a heart of gold,
From a boy with a heart of stone.
I know you may think little of me,
And of my life you know even less,
...

Memories like shattered mirrors lying on the floor,
I can't seem to make it in this empty house any more,
My sanity is leaving as the days are passing by,
And all this time alone has always kept me wondering why.
...

I''m in love and I don't know why,
In love with someone who doesn't love me.
Not in that way at least.
She will never love me that way.
...

A rose and a thorn,
Together are born.
One in beauty,
The other in scorn.
...

I once looked on her,
With blinded gaze.
Tortured by beauty,
And fearful from love.
...

Could it be that we in life do not see,
That roller coaster on which we ride?
And yet, at times such as these,
We feel the track peak,
...

Within these veins, flows blood so pure, yet I still feel so insecure.
Beyond the land, beyond the sea, there is no way I could be free.
I try to find my own way out, But that isn’t what my life is about.
It’s here for love, faith, and trust, not searching through nails, broken glass, and rust.
...

Slowly turning on a dime,
Rushing madly through space and time.
Falling through water, walking on air,
This is my life and my despair.
...

Beyond the veil, there is a land
Of naught but pain and sorrow,
Filled with all the loved ones lost,
Their hearts and spirits borrowed.
...

The love that I felt in so many ways,
The talks that we shared for so many days,
The feelings I had are no longer in place,
They are withered and wasted away.
...
