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.
