Dustin Smith Poems

To the girl I am in love with but will never know
Every night, when I lay down to sleep all I can do is wonder;
I wonder what it would be like to be the reason that smile is on your face.
I've never been on drugs but I feel like I have;
...

When I look at you, you remind me of a tree
I know that doesn't make sense to you so let me explain please
Your eyes I could get lost in as I do when I look at the autumn leaves
You give me the air that I breathe and without, without you I would suffocate
...

Life left me damaged and broken
You helped me heal even when we have barely spoken
You have that kind of smile, the one that I could just stare at for a while
You're the type I can get lost in your eyes, light up my world as bright as the daylight skies
...

When I look into your eyes, it's like I'm looking at the sky when it's meeting the offing.
That beautiful shade of blue, I could look at often.
Your smile is mesmerizing like the oceans current,
This feeling it brings me is flowing deep into my heart like a tidal wave.
...

When I was twelve, a stranger knocked on the door,
Hi, can we be friends? I know we haven't met before.
I said sure and let them in,
This is were our friendship begins.
...

People are judged by the color of their skin,
What should matter is what lies within.
Black is not much different than white,
The two kinds would always fight.
...

Whether it be with words or a simple stare,
One should not cause pain another cannot bear.
If it's someone's happiness you find unfair,
Their life to yours you should not compare.
...

He was a man I saw everyday;
He was there to tell me everything would be okay.
He was the guy that could make me laugh;
He was the man that led me down the right path.
...

The world that I live in has been changed,
All of my triggers being pulled but I'm away from the range.
All I wanted was peace in mind,
But the world has not been so kind.
...

Why can I not just speak my mind?
Why must I bite my tongue?
Can I just yell?
Can I tell this customer to go to hell?
...
