The darkness softens the edges,
of razor sharp ledges.
It strips away vision,
while creating the incision.
That separates the night,
away from the light.

Do not look at me and say,
“Goodbye.”
As our bodies pass and go
through the transparency of space.
The hushing scrape of concrete
rests in such parting words.
weighing me down with doubt.
“Goodbye.”
It sounds so final
like the last exhalation in life,
or the flutter of a paper heart
mimicking a white flag.
“Goodbye.”
It’s reminiscent of loss.

It's late on a Sunday, and I'm all alone
why did u leave me and go home?
Your texts stopped and I enjoyed it
the sad silence had ruined me within...

I guess those secrets and jokes we said
and all those little empty promises
were just as it was and will always be
I don't think I trusted anyone this way

You said you'd be there, said u always cared
I guess you just lied, like u always did
was I the fool for having to trust you?
Maybe I was right in the first place
you should just remain a friend, enemy
maybe we should just call it quits

and your very last text to me just read
I AM SORRY AND I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME
you were just a drip too much of water
and our love was like the sunshine
its everywhere and its a ****

its growing in my backyard, and I got rid of it
coz it reminded me of you and all my mistakes
I wish I never made
all those times I poured my heart out
you just laughed on the other side of the phone
and I guess it ended just too quick for us both
and now I am busy searching for the one who'll be there

Distance  you always wanted distance
Time, you always needed time
to think about your mistakes and your sayings
and how you left me alone again and I remember how we last saw each other through the mirror
and its all a coincidence
that you needed distance
and you needed your space
I was there to give it all away

And I am busy listening to my songs I sing
you are busy complaining on everything
and when I go swimming at the beach
you get so jealous of all of em staring at me
but you dont know how lucky you are
to have me around and be your only star

and I want you to know, I will be waiting
for you to be saying
that you're always thinking of me
and I hope you are feeling
like you're missing
every single thing about me

but I guess that I was dreaming for a bit too long
and you woke up from paradise when you spoke
about you leaving and you'll never see me
and I will be crying

just say goodbye you coward, you never even cared
you didnt have the guts to tell me face to face
and now after months of me crying and you begging again
I sit with the same old problem I sat with before

and you make me feel
like it's a bit too much to love
somebody you dont really wanna know
and it's all a game
and I always keep on losing it
and you wish you were the winner

and you wish you had me...

The simple thought of;
"Today will be a good day",
Drastically changes your outlook.

You realise that
ATTITUDE is everything
And sadness is just perspective.

Sure you can dwell on the bad things
'Not Achieved in this assessment, ugly, worthless'
Or you can choose to push them away.
Choose to focus on the things you can change
Not the things you WISH you could change.

Perspective is the difference
Of living with hate and living with love.
Yeah naivety isn't recommended,
But is sure as hell feels better.

If it were up to me,
Everyone would feel this way.
Maybe I would listen to it more often, too.

The truth is no matter how cheesy this sounds.
You control where you go in life,
It's easy to point the blame,
But at the end of the day you have to live with it.
it isn't really that
GREAT
without you
being with me

I like your hair.
Imagine if it all fell out
A little piece comes off in your hairbrush
And you wonder why me?

Slowly more and more pieces fall out,
Until one day your bald.
All the kids tease you at school
And your mum says "the don't understand".

You think about this for a while and realise
I don't understand.
Why am I sick?
What is cancer?
Everyone just avoids the topic around you,
as if it doesn't exist.

It's okay, you don't have cancer,
But way too many girls and boys your age do.
They have to deal with this,
They are asking the same questions that you would.
Just think about them for a moment,
Think about their lives.
And be grateful for what you have.
Not really a poem more like a speech,but it was bugging me to write it. No I don't have cancer either.

Your such a fool,
Let her walk right out the door,
Should have chased after her
And begged for her to stay.

I remember when you said
"She is the best thing to happen to me"
What happened to that love?

You worshipped the ground she walked on
I'd never seen you so happy,
But yet you throw it away.

What happened to you?
There's no way
You will find a girl like that
Again.
