Quick Post

So I just stumbled upon an earlier poem. Looking back on it the poem was kind of an experiment into a different style. I didn't really like it much but I'll share it anyways.

Even Though

Even though...
You don't have feelings for me,
I'll be there for you,
Even though...
You and me will never be,
I'll be there for you,
Even though...
You'll always chase after another guy,
I'll be there for you,
Even though...
All they ever do is make you cry,
I'll be there for you,
Even though...
You're despised and hated,
I'll be there for you,
Even though...
You're ridiculed and humiliated,
I'll be there for you,
Because none of that matters,
Because I'll always love you...

The End

And there you have it, hopefully you enjoyed it. If not well then the feelings mutual because I didn't like it much either.

Days of Surrender

There was a feeling inside us so tender,
Memories rise, causing us to remember,
Those days we chose to surrender,
Hearts to those of the opposite gender,
So surely we held happiness in our grasp,
So surely we felt we were up to the task,
Days of sadness and despair were merely a mask,
As we stood here with bated breath withholding a gasp,
For many days we stood strong,
Feeling these days would go on and on,
Any negative feelings simply didn't belong,
But those days of Surrender are now long and gone,

Fulfilling Love

When worst comes to worst,
It's you I turn to first,
Your love quenches my thirst,
Causing my heart to feel like it will burst,
There are no bounds to what you do,
Your words will forever ring true,
Their depth deeper than the sea so blue,
And who I want to be with is you,

Just another poetry entry

Time

Time passes me by,
As I just sit here and lie,
Quiet and still as I try,
To write down whats on my mind,
I just don't know anymore,
Ahead are just closing doors,
Running towards them my legs feel sore,
Short on time with few options to explore,
Short on time to look back,
Time running out, mind losing track,
Not an observation, just a simple fact,
Of matters concerning my life that seem to detract,
Any feelings of happiness to be felt,
Walls of ice around my heart refuse to melt,
Enclosing myself further into this shell,
Thinking to myself, "I might as well,
Just give up on myself as I am nothing,
Simply put I am nothing,
Never have been anything,
Never will be anything",
Yet within those depressing lines,
There will be people that will find,
This is just a simple impulse of the mind,
And will tell me the sun really does shine,
Whether the words become true,
There is a power in words and what they can do,
Whether they be lies I can see through,
Or a blind truth I'm unable to see from you,

Short Entry - New Poem

Work At It

I'm not the greatest guy,
I come off as quiet and shy,
But talking to you helps me get by,
That's just the simple truth, no lie,
Right now I'm just weak,
With an outlook that is bleak,
But I'm trying to turn the cheek,
To that brighter day I seek,
So I let these words set sail,
On these waters that is my tale,
And although I may fail,
Or just give up and bail,
And though I'm dense and clumsy,
That's just me,
My fallible personality,
And that's who you'll see,
But I'll try to work at it,
Starting bit by bit,
And though I may stumble upon pits,
You're that person that makes it worth it,
