Josh Burnett Poems

You tell me that you are so sad.
You don't think there's anyone at all,
And it hurts you so bad.
You just want to crouch up in a ball,
...

It's believable that day turns into night,
And the moon can turn the tides.
It's believable that the waves erase the sand,
So we may pretend it's unmaked land.
...

I want to be the sun in your life,
And let the warm rays hit you in the face.
I want to be your stars at night,
When everything seems faded away.
...

Tell me if you love me,
Because you know I can't live without it.
I want to see you in my eyes,
Because if I can't then I am blind.
...

You move me in a way that I can never know,
And I couldn't believe the changes that forego.
I picked myself up from the ultimate all time low,
And there were many things that you had to show.
...

I have never fallen so hard,
As I have for you,
And you're making me want to be,
Everything you'll ever need.
...

I fight off the dying pain of my heart, just for the truth that one day I’ll find you.
I fight so hard and so long that I feel like falling flat on my face,
But you keep me on my feet.
At times my mind and body feel so heavy and feel so weak,
...

The voices scream in a cell. They scream to want out.
The voices scream for you. They scream for love.
The voices scream hopeless. They scream time after time.
The voices scream out. The voices scream for you to hear.
...

Girl tell me that everything is not okay when you cry the whole night.
Tell me that you can’t explain why you feel so much pain.
Let me hear your depressed voice as the tears dropp on my shoulder,
And girl I can just give you only one promise,
...

I’m standing here all alone and stare at you from across the room,
And from the corner I smile because I notice you’re watching me too.
I watch you and I can see your eyes dancing wildly all the way through.
I’ve never been quiet sure about anything like I do now.
...
