Just for once,
Let me be,
The metaphor,
Of your poetry,
The chapter,
Of your novel,
And the melody,
Of your song,
Let this writer,
Be the topic,
Of the piece you write,
Just for once,
Let me be the one,
Your poetry is all about

Dont tell me I'm beautiful.
Because all i can think of
Is that i have such an ugly personality.

How can you fall in love with a monster like me?
Sometimes I'm awake,
thinking about all the thinking
that holds me from sleep,
and I lie there and ponder
why i'm lying there asunder
just a little too tired to weep.

Sunlight probes my eyes
come the morning,
a Monday calls my limbs to move
but i'm dead weight not shifting
though the sand of time is sifting
but i'm playing dead, lying aloof.

you read books
to me.
countless books that
i don't even remember.
but what i can't seem
to forget is
how your lips moved
across my skin
as you read to me.
Big men
always seem
to only
talk about
small things.
She had a king,
a kingdom,
wealth and
power.
Yet, what is that
in the face of passion?
Forsook it all for
a stranger's love,
let crumble the realm
beneath the weight of
her stray heart.
