my name is Matt. as you will notice most of my poems are about a girl i lost a long time agon. to tell you the truth i never really had her. i grew up in a small town with a single mother and a father who never came around. the one man i looked up to died when i was 5, but he passed on to me a love for sports and while he was abusive, he also taught me how women should be treated. for some reason with me he was completely different than he was with my grandmother. my mom said he worshiped the ground i walked on. while this doesnt make him a good person the lessons i learned from him i carry with me to this day.
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Is my life everything you thought it would turn out to be
Am I on the straight and narrow
Or do I stray like a broken arrow
...
Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm warped & twisted
...
Simple words come from complex feeling
Underneath this shell the truth reveling
How I feel you may never know
The truth is I don’t know how to let you go
...
I sit here quietly listening to a song
And I can hear you humming along
So much time has passed since we last met
I fear you may soon forget
...
