When we were eleven , we played catch at the yard; You said your Daddy had it specially manicured for us. When we were twelve, we danced to rock bands. Then we were thirteen, you asked me out; And I blushed that whole dinner date. Because then, and now, we give stars silly names. And here, somehow, our love has no frame. And even though we've become a tad bit older; Our love still remains. I'm seventeen, you're two years older Your future's calling: mine's just as loud. I want to say our love won't smoulder; But raging fire to ash is the way of this world. Remember: when we were fourteen, you kissed me first; And I just sat there and let you. Because then, and now, we give everybody nicknames And here, always, our love has no frame And even though we're a tad bit wiser; Our love still remains. I'm twenty four, I got a law degree; You're an up and coming engineer- and, it seems to me- The future isn't ours, it's for th

A Different Shade of Blue

I may be that friend that you always run to: I may be the forever shoulder to cry on. Have you ever thought- that I need one too? Or that someday, the supporting pillar may fall? I have problems too!, I'm human as well. And though the lent ear can't speak- I've so much I could tell. Though through the years, I've bottled it up; Learnt to put a sweet façade and look like I give no cr*p. Do you not see that past the strong marble walls Is brittle, cracking glass, or must you wait till it falls? Can you not hear, me silently screaming for you? Or are You, like the rest, stuck up and selfish too? Is it too much to ask, that for this one time, Instead of bawling to me, and waiting for my smile; You could lend my heart an ear, and let me cry. Or will you just assume, that I'm silent because I'm shy? Should I cry you a river and let you swim in it: Or should I scream in your ear till it splits. Is it really that hard for you to, at least today,

Plague me no more, Emotions of the past Knock not on my door, Relationships that din`t last Take no more of what i`ve left, Stain my cheeks no longer My heart you`ve left bereft, Of any love below or yonder Plague me no more ,Gut wrenching fear Of what? I don't know, But it's drawing near Its eating at me,flushing me, and making me cold Its love, no hate, still unsure, but its in bold Plague me no more, foolishness and love I have no more in store, I give all I have And to him I gave, my precious heart Of which he enslaved, then tore apart Plague me no more, for I've moved on Nothing's left to gore, nothing to thunder upon All that's left you in me, Is a glassy white lake A grey blurred memory, a big mistake Plague me no more, childish boy For I've no pore, left for a lovesick toy What i left in the past, is still there, it's stagnant Now plague me no more, for you are redundant.

I've seen you grow, I've seen you flounder We've been in rows, And in all blunders I've watched you win, And sometimes fail Watched you try gin, And spit it out again I loved you once, then hated you forever And loved you again, to stop it, never But to see you lose it, what you've worked for And to stand by, and do nothing at all I told you once, it bids me to repeat That whatever it is, ill help you with it You don't have to ask, I will anyway I wont stay put and watch you stray I encouraged it once, Have Fun, I said I wish to take it back, have it re-phrased I love you too much, to let you be a statistic Of those who do drugs, or those bulimic You'll hate me forever, to this you swear It's a tiresome for only me burden to bear But I want you to live, and live it long And stay in sanity, with me, where you belong I remember the 15 yr old you The one who had miracles to do The one who laughed hard, and loved harder The one I
