I'm not doing so well
And by the looks of things
Neither are you
I have to wonder
If we got together
If that would help dissipate this pain
Or if yours and mine would just collide
And in a sea of fire
Consume us both

Summer Weather

Come hold my hand tightly
I'm nervous so it might be clammy
But it's probably drier than my eyes

Come place your lips on mine
They're tired of being patient
But they won't rush this moment

Come rest your head on my chest
And listen to my heart beat
It's pace is steadier than my breathing

Come hold me in your arms
They're stronger than mine
And I feel weak from holding my own for so long

Come whisper in my ear
I don't care what you say but be careful
I've never let someone this close before
Your breathe could either be
A gentle breeze or a hurricane gust
Try not to leave destruction in your path

Sing Me To Sleep

I'm afraid to go to sleep
Because I keep dreaming about you
I feel my eyes getting heavy
  And as they droop
    The faint whisper of your lips across my lids
My muscles relax
  And as they loosen
    The unmistakable feeling of  your hands
      Trailing across my tired shoulders
My breathing slows
  And as it steadies
    The rhythm of your own breathing
      Settles in the space beside me
My eyes close
  And as the darkness takes me
    The feeling of your arms around me
      Makes me forgot why I was ever afraid to sleep

That is
  Until I wake up

Not Enough

Lately I've been waking from my dreams
More unsettled than if they had been nightmares
I'm haunted by the shade of your eyes
As they reflect the fluorescent lights above
I can't shake the phantom feeling
Of your hand perfectly interlocked with mine
And sometimes when I sit down
I am struck by the fact that you are not next to me
Because it feels wrong

I leave room for you wherever I go
I just wanted you to know

this poem is fairly mediocre so I think it's a pretty accurate representation of how I feel when I try to figure out what I have to offer you

Amber

The possibility of you
Beckons to me
In a voice like amber

Blues

I can almost feel your lips on my neck
And that does nothing
To help solve my sleeplessness

I have the perfect pandora station picked out for us. You'd like it, it's got lots of blues.

[_________]

I'm         filling up
         The          empty spaces in              my life
With       late nights
Spent watching           ***** Dancing
       And      crying       during the           credits

this is a really dumb one but oh well
