| Collections I don't have names for these two poems...I just sat down and wrote both of them in about 10 minutes today. I hope you enjoy, and please comment/critique.
I woke from my sleep, and smiled
as my mind recalled you
Then I frowned realizing it was a dream,
and would only ever be a dream
My days are filled with thoughts
my nights with dreams
It doesn't seem fair that you are always out of reach
You held my heart on a string for so long
I wonder if you'd numbed my mind
Now my heart is broken in a million little pieces
and I'm thinking your string might have held my heart together
But despite the hurt and pain
I still smile fondly when I think of you
Time does not seem to fade your memory,
contrary to popular opinion.
I never seem to measure up
to anyone's standards
They always want me to be taller
thinner, more talkative, less talkative, more talented
I'm being pulled in a hundred different directions
And so I sit here again
trying to change the way I live
Shift and alter my agenda
trying in vain to squeeze
five-hundred hours worth of stuff into only twenty-four
Then wonder why I feel so frustrated and stressed.
I need to come to the point, again and again
where I realize You are my life.
You love without question; that I don't need to change my life for You
I only need to give myself away, to You. |
