drifting along, out to sea
when you stop, do you think of me?
I watch the water, as tears flow
did you really have to go?
and as I watch with glittering eyes
the whole world, dark and wide
crumbles.

Morgan Percy Feb 2011
We lie awake and dream our dreams, letting our thoughts flow like streams,
Like mist around the moon, on a warm night in June
They vanish.
Tick, tock the time rolls around the clock,
Slowly but surely fought, lessons, they never seem taught
Forgotten.
Although changed is expected, it is never fully accepted
A frightening contemplation, but a permanent deliberation
Such is life.
We’re positioned at this conditioned point
As time rattles on, like you’re just a pawn
In this short game.
A careless thought, no longer sought
Left alone life a leaf being blown
Away in the wind.
You can try screaming, just to find meaning
But what you desire will soon expire
As will it all.
Sewing the seam never truly gets rids of the dream
A life without strife
Would be wonderful
The thought of life without good-bye could make one’s heart fly
A million miles above, soaring like a dove
Away from the world.

a poem I wrote for an assignment in English class,
was nearly the death of me

shooting stars
wishbones
dandelions
coin tosses
and birthday candles
I wish for you

friendship
love
happiness
kisses
forever & always
I wish you could see

It's like you don't hear them at all
they know what she is
what she's doing
to you

it's like you've taken you're fragile heart
hidden it, far away
and I don't know how to get there
I don't know how to get through
to you

you know what she's doing
still you stay by her side
because in your mind,
she's everything
to you

and here I am, thinking of you
wondering what you're thinking of, or who
wishing I could mean everything
*to you

on the dock,
the wood beneath my palms
the sun on my face
the water glistening below
the same sparkle that was in your eyes
last summer
the last time I saw you
calling me crazy
as I jumped
plunging into the sparkling oasis
with laughter, you followed
I'd give anything to go back to that time
where I held your heart, and you held mine
now what you want
has ripped me apart
like that plunge off the dock
tearing through the water
there's a hole through my chest

The cold wind whips around my face

throwing my hair and turning my cheeks pink

the snow falls daintily, dancing within the wind

each flake a different pattern

just like every person has a story

you take my hand and we collapse into the white covered ground

later it will be shivers and sniffles

but right now, it's a cold bliss

Sometimes,
I'd like to break every clock
just so time would stand still
and I could stay in this moment
with you,
forever

But as I blink,
I discover time, like you, has moved on
and like a broken clock, I haven't

and while you're out there,
looking for yourself
I'll be here
without you

But you'll never know
because you seem to have forgotten
what your heart is for
