| Union - January 2, 2002 She comforts me from miles away with my darkest secrets she keeps safe and doesn't laugh but acknowledges my pain she brings me up with laughter and praise until I am once again calm she laughs at my nervousness and cries at my tears she is constant a beam she writes me poetry and leaves me flowers and no broken promises our lives have not been the smoothest and our start was not the best a past we try ever-so-hard to be rid but creeps up at inopportune times what started as fights became understanding and an intimacy that nightly phone calls cannot bridge adequately I miss her arms and lips her smooth-talking voice her maleness and femaleness I miss her monster that I can console and three days' wait seems as long as this three-week separation I have not written many happy love poems in recent times I have not had much to say for fear and because of heartbreak each time I showed my love it was tossed back at me I lost hope and my language but I am courageous now through trembling hands I write this once more in hope of a love that is true and can fill my heart's crevasses "What He Really Means" - (25 February, 1995 -This one I wrote while in a very dreamy, romantic mood. It was before ever having a boyfriend. I left it unfinished) He says, "Hi," But, he really means, "Hello." He asks, "How's it going?" But, he really means, "Are you okay?" He says, "Yeah, okay," But, he really means, "Whatever you wish." White-Knuckle Ride - December 3, 2002 How many nights shall I spend sleepless? I'm not dating women because of my attraction to him he has interrupted the flow of my life and, yet, I don't much mind I've managed to bat for the other team arouse disgust from exes and confuse myself all at once I doubt it's because I'm lonely but part of me for the sake of familiarity is looking for the now unappealing what we least know both scares and attracts us |
| Untitled - (an apology, written June, 1998) I'm sorry I hurt you I never meant to If I were to ever lose you I think I'd die I know I said that On the phone last night I didn't mean it As a threat You're what makes my life complete You're the one that matters If I were to lose you It's be like dying I never meant to hurt you I'm just too weak What a Time to Get Lonely - (January 22, 1995) Have you seen my heart? I've lost it. Actually, he took it. Well, no, he really didn't take it. When he left, it followed him. Now I've finally realized he's not here. Along with my heart, My poor, little, broken heart. What's left in me, Where my heart used to be? I don't know. But, somehow blod flows within me. Only it's cold, ice cold. I can't even cry for him. My tears have all been spent. So, here I sit, Wishing he'd come back. Every thought I have involves him, Every joke I tell, I tell them the way he would. I can't even count how many months it's been. I just wish he'd come back, Say, "Hi!" After all, it is Valentine's Day. What is Love? - (June 17, 1999) Love makes you feel whole in places you didn't think were empty Love is reassurance Love is an eternal hug Love gives warmth no matter what the outside temperature is, Love asks for nothing more than itself Love is a good kind of obsession He is the other piece to my puzzle, he is the one I hunger for, he needs me as much as I need him Love makes you open yourself up, it makes you vulnerable and you don't mind, Loving someone else shows you your faults and goods and makes you happy you have both as much as it makes you happy your lover does, too Love makes you realize how good it is to be human |
