Open my eyes,
No more being blind
Time to accept my hand
Its taken enough time.

Open my ears
No more being deaf
No more fighting a pointless war
Ill leave with a few medals
pinned upon my chest

Time to say the words
I never thought Id say
So long, farewell, goodbye
Like you'd care anyway..

I feel in my heart
Im a good man, I deserve better
I hope you think of me
And leave tears on my letters

I've never said a mean word to you
So I won't start it at the end.
Just remember you lost a faithful lover
Remember you lost a loyal friend.

One day your gonna miss me
and all my corny rhymes
But by then ill be healed
And had found a woman worth my time.

Yesterday.
This was me
With some caffeine
Addicted
Not good for my health
Worrying about my worries
Creating more worries and
My feelings
Spiralling outta control
Today
My head is going places; it is
Seeing things I shouldn't see
The wheels of time, spinning me around
Yet I'm not irrational
Far from it
Then why am I confused?
There's no better way to be
I look into your eyes
Great, and all I see is nothing
All the things I don't know
Like rest of mind and peace
These are the things I would love to have
Tomorrow.


#NowReadBackwards

Though passions may dim and fade away,
the love we have will always stay.
Hope springs eternal in our passion play.
Tomorrow delivers our new born day.

you looked
i won.


this is a poem

written by me

and sent to who-so-ever-will

open up to love,

lay aside hurt pride,

unfreeze to stay warm and hungry.
