First day at high school
Cool but confusing, then I first saw you
Was your eyes that I wanted to look into
Was your desk that I wanted to pass through
...

I can't see you heart
But I can hear it's beat
I want to reach to it
Am I wrong?
...

Love lost, we don't speak
Awake all night, we don't sleep
Appetite lost, we don't eat
Distance and time, we don't meet
...

If I could, I would...

Bring back those days
Where we would get naked and lay
...

My poem, my life, my soul
That you listen and relate, my goal
I write from the heart
I put my emotions into art
...

Sound of a broken heart
Beep, beep, beep, ting
Sounds like a beaten steel
Beating hardly but so fast
...

Sun is out but I can't see the light
I see no days, I see the nights
Eyes open but they can't see
Hardly breathing, I'm losing life
...

I feel like I wrote these lines before
Maybe not but I'm using same words, so
It is every poem with same story
If my writings ever made you feel like,
...

My reason to hate you,
Is that I still love you

Sorry...
...

A pen, is paintbrush on my hand
Painting pictures from my heart
Writing is like painting pictures I saw
Sharing feels like framing on the wall
...

I know I was your first
And you said to be your last
Everything happened so fast
I'm sorry what we had didn't last
...

I know I can't be all you need
At least you have a friend in me
At least I'm use to making your day
At least I try not to hurt you in any way
...

Where I would ask for another try,
Only when I missed a penalty.
Where I would sit down and cry,
Only when I was hungry.
...

I'm so damn cold
I wish I never grew this old

All my life I dreamed of love
...

I thought my love would be enough, plus
I thought my heart would be a surplus
I thought my time was well divided
I thought my money was not expected
...

We used to love them, we still do but
We don't wanna hear their names, it hurts
We say that we don't care,
Actually that's what our minds think
...

College isn't better than the University
You said it, I didn't

At least I got myself something to do
...
