Though I wrote all of these poems, please bear in mind that most of them were written when I was a teenager.

If I Were A Song

If I were a song
I'd be happy and gay.
I would let you listen to me everyday.
I'd be a love song and
I'd make you cry,
When you thought of a boy
from days gone by.
I'd make you mellow
before you went to sleep.
And when you woke up,
I'd make you weep.
And after the years my
tune might fade away;
But you'll always have
a special place for me,
in your heart to stay.


I'll Never Understand
I'll never understand
why you don't love me.
I'll never understand
why you don't care.
I'll never understand
why you never think of me.
I'll never understand
why you're not there...
when I need you.
I guess I never will.



I Should Have Known

I should have known
you loved me.
I should have known
it all along.
I didn't even think about
your feelings.
Maybe that's why everything
turned out wrong.
If you'll give me one
more chance, I
promise that I'll try
to think about the both
of us, you and I.


The Best Things in Life Are Free

You've heard the old saying,"The Best things in life are free."
I've found this to be true for me.
All the riches in the world could not buy the things you've given me.
You've given me a deeper understanding of love than I have ever known.
I've found true happiness just being near you.
I cherish the times when we hold each other close.
We have no need for words.
We have memorized each others thoughts and feelings.
You are the best thing thats ever happened to me.
The best things in life are free.


Life

Life is short, too short.
People always say so,
but if they really knew
just how short it really
is; people would live
everyday to it's fullest.
They would be more
considerate and kind.
They would be happy
to say I'm sorry, I'm
here and I care about you.
If they only knew.


If You Loved Me

If you loved me,
you should have told me.
If you loved me,
you should have cared.
If you loved me,
you should have showed me.
If you loved me,
we could have shared
happy moments together.


Stop

STOP!
Just listen to yourself.
Do you realize
what you are saying?
Do you not care about
all the people you are hurting?
Hurting with your words.
Talking about them
behind their backs.
Stabbing them in the back
with your words.
Forever scarring
their memory of you.
STOP!
Please
Before it's too late.


Acceptance

I know I am not perfect,
for no one is.
I know there are many things
in my life which need
to be rearranged.
There needs to be some changes made,
but I can't make them by myself.
I need your help, your strength.
So, accept me as I am
and help me learn
what I can become.


Changes

Why do people have to change?
Why can't things just stay
the same?
Free and easy, no
pushing or shoving;
Just caring and loving.
I will never be able
to understand the finite
abilities of a man.


To Bobby

God knows how much
I love you,
he knows how much
I care.
He knows everything
about you because I
mention you in all
my prayers.


Dreams

Never be afraid to dream,
For without dreams we
could not reach our goals
in life.
Dreams are what makes life; life.
So never be afraid to dream.
For sometimes dreams come true.


You

You are the loveliest
daisy in the field.
You are the brightest
star in the sky.
Together we can build
our own small
world, you and I.


Companionship

So you thing your wise,
trying to make it on your own.
I can tell you now, it just won't do
it takes two.
I'm not trying to act smart.
I've already been through it all and
I'd like to spare you the hurt and pain.
You can't make it alone.
You need someone; a companion, a lover and a friend.
He will be there when you need him
and he'll help make the mends.
I can tell you now it just won't do.
You will fail by yourself.
It takes two.


Great Expectations

Great expectations of what I want to be
where I want to go and what I want to see.
But something is wrong with me.
I'm tearing myself apart; piece by piece.
I see what I am doing
but just can't seem to stop.
It's as though I'm spinning on a
merry-go-round that won't stop.
I need someone to love me
and show me that they care.
But no matter where I turn
no one is there.


Forget Me Not

Forget me not,
when you grow old.
For I will never forget you.
You brought happiness
into my life.
You taught me how to
reach my goals in life.
But most of all,
you taught me how to love.
So forget me not,
when you grow old.
And I will always remember you.



The wind is his voice
The stars are his eyes
He sees and hears everything
we say, think, or do.
We cannot put
up a disguise.
We try to run, we try to hide.
But when we really
need him the most,
he's always at our side.



Love

Love
It defies any problem we can face.
It gives a special confidence
and security that can't really be explained.
I only know that love
can bind two people together
and make them as one.



I have a heart thats full of love;
but I have no lover.
It's a kind of love I could give to no other;
but a boy who's my lover.
But the boy who's my lover
is hidden behind the cover
of a shy, timid smile.
Maybe someday he will
discover that my heart and I are waiting
for a lover, and he will
come out from behind the cover
of his shy and timid smile.


Maybe

Maybe I'll tell him
I love him while we
are driving to the beach.
Or maybe I'll tell him
when he holds me close
or when he makes love to me.
Or maybe I'll never tell him
because he already knows.


I love the hot summer rain
beating gently against
the window pain.
I love the winter with it's
snow falling slowly
to the earth below.
There are lots of things I love
but only one thing
I love best.
You...


Touch me
Hold me
Love me
Be gentle with me for this
is new to me.
Explore my whole body
any way you like.
Just promise you won't
leave me when your through.
I love you.


I love you because
you discovered something
about me I didn't even know was there.
I love you because
your goals and my goals point in the same direction
and we can achieve them together.
I love you because,br>I discovered within myself new emotions and feelings
I didn't realize existed within me.
I love you because.
