My Feelings For You - Original Poem

Even though I hold part of me,
Hidden away in the depths of my soul,
My feelings for you are strong and true.
If I were a tree you would be my Earth,
You are the oxygen in my lungs now
And I don't think I can let you go.

My Key - Original Poem

The feelings I thought were lost
Are now again remembered
As you open locked doors
That never had a key.
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What you've done to me.
Then I decide to just go with it,
I don't want to loose my key.

My Memories With You - Original Poem

The moments I've forgotten
Are gone for a reason,
The memories I can't forget
I hope will be here to stay.
Yet memories often fail me
As time wears them away,
No one stays the same for long
And then before I know it they're gone.
So when I take these photos
Or write down how I feel,
I'm not trying to obsess over you
I just want to remember how this feels.
I want to remember the first talk
All the way to the last one,
But my memories tend to fail me
So let me do what I do
So that I can remember you.

Relationship - Original Poem

He is kind,
He is sweet,
He will never miss a beat.
We will smile,
We will talk,
We will go for a very long walk.
I will cry,
I will sigh,
I will never stop wondering why.

Another Year - Original Poem

The hustle and bustle,
Shouts that echo through the rooms,
People hugging and laughing,
Thus starts another year
Of learning and growing
Stronger so that someday we may
Confront the world that lay in wait.

My Bright New Spark - Original Poem

Dr. Suess would say my heart grew ten times it's size this month,
Yet I wouldn't be alive if that had happened,
So I would rather like to think of this month as finally opening my eyes
And now I can see the happiness I was missing
All those sad days when I needed a friend
But the reason I was sad was because I had lost my friend I could talk to -
Now I can escape that happening again.
Because now I have someone new in my life,
A bright new spark urging me slowly into a very happy place.
If this was a fairytale there would be singing and animals,
And we would be happy forever.
Real life is not quite like that,
I may end up with my heart brutally crushed after this new spark goes away.
For now I refuse to worry about that,
Today is another happy day when my heart is content.
That will have to work for now.

Myself in Time - Original Poem

Time is flying past,
A blur is currently all I see.
Soon the time is going to just stop,
It will take the wind from inside of me.
Becoming someone new,
That is never something easy to do.
I guess it's a good thing then,
That it's not something I plan to do.
Finding myself inside of time,
It simply cannot be done
For if it was then wouldn't I be
Lost outside of time?
