Alex Reyes Poems

Seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth comes second
Just stop for a minute and smile
...

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
...

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
...

The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
...

i've been working hard so long
seems like pay has been my only friend
my fragile heart's been done so wrong
i wondered if i'd ever heal again
...

So far away

This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
...

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
...

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.
...

How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake
...

Moving forward using all my breath,
Being friends with you was never second best,
And I saw the world crashing all around your face,
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace.
