be careful with my heart for it is weak. all I can say is watch how you speak. several came & went & they weren’t kind. after what they did they still haven’t left my mind. be different & prove me wrong. show me what a real man should have been like all along.

my class assignment was to write a poem…here is what I came up with.

A smile that goes from ear to ear

A laugh you can hear from across the room

There is something about this year

All I can do is assume

There is something in the air

It flows through the warm breeze

Never have I been more prepared

To stand at the shore of the sea

Happiness, once again I have found you

Excitement, you tickle my skin

And now with you two

I’m ready for all of this to begin

(I wrote this a couple months after he passed away, it was an assignment for english.)

It’s been months since things have changed.

Just the thought that you’re not here seems impossible to grasp.

Even though we weren’t extremely close

Your departure has slightly altered my life.

You were in God’s hands that day.

He decided it was time to cut your road trip short

He had to steer you off course

The road that lead to your destination was now a blind alley.

It caused you to make a wrong turn.

The world was upside down and you couldn’t turn back time

Your passenger had called for help but they were too late.

I couldn’t accept the news I had heard.

There must have been some kind of confusion.

It feels as if you exist somewhere in the world.

The sudden silence between us is hard to interpret.

I assume you don’t want to talk to me.

In reality, you can’t.

I have to learn to accept that He’s taken a part of my smile I once had.

I’ll have to deal with this.

I’m not alone.

There are others who can understand my heartache

Some probably have it more painful than me.

As long as we continue to love you, remember the good times

You will always be alive in our hearts.

It hurts that you won’t be able to walk across a stage and receive a paper 

For all your hard work like I will next year

You won’t be able to decide what you plan 

to do for the rest of your life.

Everyone has a purpose 

Yours couldn’t be fulfilled.

He saved you from whatever event was going to occur in the future.

He wanted a better life for you just like everyone else does.

In the end, it’s what’s best.

I know one day I’ll see you again.

For now, I’ll only say “see you later.”

When it’s time, we’ll reunite.

It’s hard to explain, but you’re my favorite song

The rhythm goes to the beat of my heart

A song I can never get sick of, I can hear it all day long

I find it to be a beautiful work of art.

Again it’s hard to explain, but you’re my favorite word

I like to heart it roll off my tongue with ease

A word too much for this world, it goes unheard

If you listen closely, it is whispered through a light breeze.

I just can’t explain it, but you’re my favorite painting

Incredibly stunning that I could stare at forever

Such beauty has no reason for explaining

I believe nothing can compare to it whatsoever.

Like I said it’s hard to explain, but you’re my favorite poet

Your poems are astounding and leave me speechless

Reading word for word has me weak, you’re amazing I know it

I can tell you this, your poems are my only weakness.

(a poem I wrote a while back, got stuck & just ended it because I got too lazy)

In the mirror there’s a girl no where to be found

The only bit of confidence she had has gone astray

She puts blame on the people she’s been around

There were those who gave it to her & those who took it away

She has immersed herself into a dark abyss

Preoccupies herself with reasons to sink farther in

The more she loses herself the more she wants bliss

She looks back on a time of who she had been

Striving to go back to who she was before 

There’s not much left to get her where she wants to go

She can’t stand who she is, she craves to be something more

This girl keeps it all in, she wants no one to know

(something small I wrote over an encounter I had with a guy a while back. I can’t stop thinking about it.)

From the moment I walked in, you were the one who caught my eye

It seemed like it was impossible for me to look away

We spoke and it was just two sentences, after I could only sigh

I wish I could have said more just to make it a better day.

As I was about to leave you spoke something so simple yet sweet

It’s a phrase used by everyone but hearing you say it, it was beautiful

Walking away I couldn’t stop smiling and my day felt complete

You were more than a stranger doing the usual.

mine.

my sun in the morning, my moon in the night

the breeze in the air that brings me delight

a fragrance that swoons & a voice that sings

you are my angel without wings

the warmth of your embrace

it would make my heart race

my friend, my angel, my bliss

all i can do now is reminisce

his

the light to my darkness, the sound of my sleep

mourning is my life now & forever i weep

weep of the memories of laughter & love

my angel in disguise heavens sent from above

for the eye may not see of what should be

therefore friendship at heart is our locks key

i always play this game with the same guy & i always choose him to go first cuz the kid is talented, he comes up with stuff in a matter of minutes which for me takes much longer. he always chooses the same topic but here’s one we did a couple days ago. the stuff in bold is what he wrote, the stuff that’s bolded & italicized is what i wrote.

Is fidelity true or false does it behold, 
How many stories has cupids book told, 
Fact or fiction are the words I’ve read so, 
For its love through true words and a strike of the bow.

such a thing is hard to explain
something everyone wishes to obtain
for those who are fortunate have it in their lives
as for others have to wait for it to arrive

Love plays the most difficult game, 
Devours the lives and every living name, 
Yet patience is the cheat code i know, 
For arriving it will soon come and love will show.

it wears out the body but opens the heart
to keep love alive and it to not tear me apart
it is worth the struggle and worth the pain
just to know what i will gain

Whether we gain a lifetime of love, 
Or seek out the angels who watch from above, 
Possibilities are endless when love is in tact, 
For love shapeshifts lives, and that is fact.

not to be exact.

goodnight tumblr :)

Something I believed not to be true

The people I knew, it just was not there

Then on a special night, I met you

I just couldn’t help but stare

A sweet symphony that is new to my ears

A beautiful person to overwhelm my eyes

Such words I’ve always dreamed to hear

What escapes your lips you say aren’t lies

Your arms wrapped around me real tight

Your fingertips running through my hair

Being around you is different but feels right

You are beyond words and exceedingly rare

With every delicate kiss my heart begins to race

Any kiss of yours makes me smile, even one on the cheek

With you is where I want to be, there is no better place

I believe there is no one that has ever made me so weak

I just want you to know I appreciate everything you say

I can’t help but smile at the texts you send

No matter what it is you can always make my day

How thankful I am to have met you is impossible to comprehend
