Let not anyone tell you how you feel,
Because those feelings are not real.
You tell someone, 'I think I love him'
They say, 'Do you know how long it's been? '
...

Why do I fall into 'like' so fast?
Have I not learned from my past?
I start talking to a girl, think she is pretty
Here's where it begins to go bad, I start to get giddy.
...

The sands of time are a torturous device.
We have a trial period in order to suffice.
The feeling of love is set on a time limit.
You must be 1 for this long to have it.
...

What I want from you is nothing more than love.
I don't think that is too much to ask of.
You've given me all I could ever ask for.
And for this, you are the one I adore.
...

Without emotion, my day would be routine,
Everyday, it would all be the same thing.
Without emotion, we would lose out on so much,
Like the feeling I get, when I feel your sweet touch.
...

Have you ever took a shot in the dark?
Hoping that something you did would hit the mark?
Maybe the right sequence of words will do the trick?
I will never be the one she would pick.
...

You cannot see my pain because you don't know me...
This pain should be non existent, it's because of me...
I put my heart into something I knew that would never work out...
I should have known better to have even tried, I already knew the turnout...
...

I throw my line out, my heart for bait.
I get nibbles, but none of them ever take.
Each cast the hook digging deeper, so deep.
The pain is so great, I can only weep.
...

Sometimes you have to give things a chance.
Get off the ground, dust the blood and dirt from your pants.
Though your heart may grow callused and sore,
Don't ever give up, but ask for more.
...

Why God when I ask for something you do not give?
Do you not care anymore? Do you care if I live?
Why do you sit back and let my life go down the drain?
How come you allow my eyes leak more than the rain?
...

I've finally found 'The one',
The one who makes me smile when I see her,
The one who makes my heart melt when I look into her eyes,
The one who gives me butterflies,
...

I try so hard,
Yet it still come short.
I have good intentions to help,
I try to talk, even exhort.
...

I wish I could write you the best poem ever.
I want to write something you would cherish forever.
A poem that would take your breath away.
A poem that you would think about everyday.
...

Thank you Lord for everything you've done for me.
Thank you for everything that will be.
Thank you for calming my heart in times of sorrow.
Thank you for making me a better person for tomorrow.
...

2 weeks of fear, knowing what is to come.
Knowing that soon, all we worked for, will be gone.
That every word we said, will soon be forgotten.
Moving on with our lives, thinking of what could've been.
...

Why do things have to be so hard on me?
I take things a lot harder than it should be.
I've put on a face as though all is well.
But really, my life has been hell.
...

When will you show your face to me?
Please don't make me get down on my knees.
It's been 20 years now, and I've still not seen your face.
I'm beginning to think that I have lost the race.
...

I now see what you made me believe,
You built a wall of lies for me to conceive.
You made your intentions look pure
I see now, that you leaving is the cure
...

Before I met you, I knew only of your beauty...
Now that I've got you, your everything to me...
You make me smile when I see your face, and make my heart beat at a faster pace...
When you kiss me you make my heart melt, if only I could explain the feeling that I felt...
...

I am of a rare breed.
I wonder how many others are like me.
Who will do anything to be loved,
But fails, and falls from above.
...
