Poet Introduction
Hi, I have been writing off and on since as long as I can remember. I was invited here by a couple friends, and so far it has been a wonderful experience. I have not only been able to share what I already had, but have come up with new content

Obsession
Eat me,
Drink me,
Breathe me,
Taste me,
Touch me,
Feel me,
See me,
Want me,
Need me,
Let me fill
Every pore of your being,
Until you long for me
As I long for you.
Drink me,
Breathe me,
Taste me,
Touch me,
Feel me,
See me,
Want me,
Need me,
Let me fill
Every pore of your being,
Until you long for me
As I long for you.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
For as long as I care to remember,
I've been told that I was different,
That something was wrong with me,
And I didn't fit in.
I've been told this so long
And so many, many times
That finally I started to
Internalize it and believe it.
And with the internalization
Came the self-hatred.
The desire to see myself
Fail and to self-destruct.
So did I believe
Their vile brainwashing
That I became depressed
And always on the edge.
When you let the others
Convince you that you
Don't deserve to live
You...

The Vicious Cycle
The constant back and forth,
The vicious cycle over and again,
Everything just keeps repeating.
Day in and day out,
Nothing major changes,
And everyday is mostly the same.
How do I break free?
How can I change my fate?
I'm tired of my destiny
Being in the hands
Of those who want
To control me.
When life becomes
Just a series
Of everything
On repeat,
How do you
Make things change?
All I know is that I am
Far from being satisfied.
A change is needed soon
So I don't become that...
The vicious cycle over and again,
Everything just keeps repeating.
Day in and day out,
Nothing major changes,
And everyday is mostly the same.
How do I break free?
How can I change my fate?
I'm tired of my destiny
Being in the hands
Of those who want
To control me.
When life becomes
Just a series
Of everything
On repeat,
How do you
Make things change?
All I know is that I am
Far from being satisfied.
A change is needed soon
So I don't become that...

Addictions
Just because yours
Are more accepted
Doesn't mean yours
Are any less of
A problem than mine.
Having the law
On your side,
Telling you that
Your vice is legal,
Doesn't make it okay.
You let yours control
Your life just as much
As I let mine,
And yet I am
The one in the wrong.
Deny it as much as
You want, but in the end
We all have our addictions,
Whether we choose or not
Acknowledge them as such.
Though you point at mine
As the woes of society,
Yours aren't any...
Are more accepted
Doesn't mean yours
Are any less of
A problem than mine.
Having the law
On your side,
Telling you that
Your vice is legal,
Doesn't make it okay.
You let yours control
Your life just as much
As I let mine,
And yet I am
The one in the wrong.
Deny it as much as
You want, but in the end
We all have our addictions,
Whether we choose or not
Acknowledge them as such.
Though you point at mine
As the woes of society,
Yours aren't any...

Fading Away
Perhaps things burn too bright
Too quickly in the beginning,
Perhaps I pushed away
One too many times,
But now it feels like
What we once had
Is slowly fading away.
Perhaps this was
Never very sustainable,
Perhaps this is because
I'm so quick to give up,
And this is because
I couldn't tear myself away
From her like I needed to.
But slowly and steadily
You are pushing me away,
And I am pushing back
Because of my nature,
And what we once had
Is fading away
Slowly but surely.

Saying Goodbye
This hurts me more
Than you'll ever know,
But I have to say it now.
Those words we both
Have dreaded to say.
I fought with myself
Time and again,
Struggling to move forward
While still clinging
So tightly to the past.
But I can't forgive
Nor can I forget
All that you've done
And the hurt is just
Too raw and too real.
As much as I want to,
I can't put this
Behind me, though
I want to so badly
So we can be together.
But we don't work
in a healthy way.
You'll just keep lying
And I will...
Than you'll ever know,
But I have to say it now.
Those words we both
Have dreaded to say.
I fought with myself
Time and again,
Struggling to move forward
While still clinging
So tightly to the past.
But I can't forgive
Nor can I forget
All that you've done
And the hurt is just
Too raw and too real.
As much as I want to,
I can't put this
Behind me, though
I want to so badly
So we can be together.
But we don't work
in a healthy way.
You'll just keep lying
And I will...

Decisions
How can you ask me to choose
When I am in love with you both?
How do I put away the past
When it still affects me daily?
How can I move forward
When I don't know what towards?
I feel stuck and bogged down
By my present life and situation,
But uncertain of how to change things
Or what path to choose for myself,
Especially when the two paths
I see before me I want.
If I choose you, I'm throwing away
The years I waited for and wanted her
But I'm also break free of her
And all the pain she has caused me,
All the lies she...

Pendulum
Unbalanced
Swinging from one end
To the other
Never quite settling
In the middle
For much longer
Than a brief moment
Before back towards another side
Over and over again
Swinging from one end
To the other
Never quite settling
In the middle
For much longer
Than a brief moment
Before back towards another side
Over and over again

Aiello
To and fro and back and forth,
Pushing and pulling away,
Only to come back together again
Before truly separating.
We move in time together,
Sometimes towards,
Other times away from,
A delicate and graceful dance.
As painful as it can be,
I am as bound to you as you are to me,
Forever entwined with each other
In our lovers' dance.
Pushing and pulling away,
Only to come back together again
Before truly separating.
We move in time together,
Sometimes towards,
Other times away from,
A delicate and graceful dance.
As painful as it can be,
I am as bound to you as you are to me,
Forever entwined with each other
In our lovers' dance.

Restless
I can no longer
Lie in this bed
Next to you,
Pretending to love you
When I instead want
So desperately to be free.
The love, promises, and future
You had to offer
Have run dry and stagnate,
But you refuse to let me go
Even though it hurts us more
To pretend everything is fine.
I no longer believe
That you love me
Though you keep saying it,
Because you would
Care about my happiness
If you truly did.
I only stay because
I have nowhere else
To really go instead,
I turn over on...

Waiting
There is a part of me
That is missing,
Whenever you are
Not near me.
It always comes back
To me though,
Always returning
When you do.
I long for the day
When it won't be gone,
And that it will never
Leave me again.
Wrapped up so very
Deeply in you,
Your arms around me
Never straying.
The near endless waiting
Almost kills me,
But I know that soon
I shall have you.
It is what keeps
Me going forward,
The satisfaction of
The near future.
We shall...
