Sh.. Don’t tell him, but I have a secret
He doesn’t know yet...
I have to go, or i’ll have more and more regret
It’s a big one… it’ll cause a lot of pain, I bet

I am leaving him, don’t you know?
For a woman, he doesn’t even know
She is pretty, most days I like her
She recently found herself, suddenly so sure

***** blonde hair, that rests at her neck
Bright green eyes, and .. give me a sec…
There’s more.
She is strong - a quality I adore

Her walk is purposeful
Her talk is straightforward and meaningful
She is ***** minded and a little bit odd
She is a pink salmon in a river of cod

Standing out from the crowd you see
She is a wild spirit that just got set free
I love her, like I never have before
A new found trust in her very core

I tell you this, because I had to hear it
I don’t know how he will bare it
When I tell him I have to go
To be with this woman I found when I was low

The biggest secret is yet to be told you see
Because the woman I need to be with,          is me.
I found strength in myself finally
He tried to put me through a refinery

But I dug deep, with no time to weep
I clung to my spirit in hopes to keep
The happy and adventurous me
So here I go, I am finally free
He doesn't know yet. He doesn't know yet. I am almost FREE!

The world is a storm.
colorful
loud
warm
I stand here
just on the edge
watching in wonder
as everything spins around
seeming safe and dangerous all at once

I am a storm too.
silent
dark
cold
so different
from the world
and not so easily noticed
sitting in the other storm's shadow
closing my eyes and waiting for the sun

The irony that is in his ways
In his actions
The sarcasm only he can portray
Cutting right thru my heart
Reaping my soul apart
Making me lose my senses
But mostly,
The hurt & the pain
The anger I feel
Hatred not for him but me
Hating just how much I love him

She doesn't say
"I love you"
      like a
     normal
     person.
     Instead,
  she'll laugh,
shake her head,
      give you
    a little smile,
       and say,
"you're an idiot"
       if she tells
            you
   you're an idiot,
          you're
               a
       lucky man.
\
            Take a
             lover
              who
             looks
             at you
                like
             maybe
             you are
              magic.

Should be what we call
poetry

Except for the dancin'
and singing parts

"I love you,"
that means I'm not just
   here for the pretty
             parts.

           I'm here
      no matter what
                and
         good things
       happen, when
         love is real.
            we will
            be okay.
         Let's root for
        each other and
          watch each-
          other grow.
       When you can't
       find the sunshine,
        be the sunshine.

there you are!
stealing glances, even the innocent ones.
your shy smile, your still hands
your confident walk.
how could I not recognize you
from a million man?
as my heart jolts of joy
when I lay my eyes on you.
