Writing: Human

I am human
Sometimes not clear
But always searching
Searching for love

Moving from place to place
Keeping my heart open
So I can feel
It's a risk I take

Without knowing
I see you through the fog
Without and expections
Without any warning

I have found you
Wondering if you
Feel for me
The way I feel for you

Wondering if I am heard
Am I loud enough?
Would you find me
Through a crowd?

I am human
I found you in my search
I need to be loud enough
To get to you

Writing: Does Your Smile Speak for Your Thoughts?

What are you thinking
When you look me in the eyes?
Does you smile speak
For what your thinking?

Is your heart racing
When I pass by?
Or is it just mine?
Mine is all I can hear

Are you thinking
About me right now
Almost everything I do
Makes me think of you

When I asked you
Did you really want to go?
It seems the secret
Has been set free

What you say
If you could go?
Would you say yes?
Would you reject me?

Writing: A Moment of Realness

I walk in and sit down at a table. James walks up to me."Hey," he says and sits next to me. "Hey," I say in a cloudy voice and gaze around the room. I smile when I spot who I'm looking for. Chris strides in like everything is just so cool. His hair is black, eyes are brown. He sets down his bag and walks straight over to our table. My heart races.

"Hello," Chris says and sits down. I smile and start typing like the fact that he siting down isn't affecting me. "Have.. have you been you working on project?" I stutter. I huff in anger on how I screw up my words. Only around him I do this. Chris and James laugh, but don't bring it up. I continue to screw up my sentences till I slow down and finally get them right. Without thinking, I say everything without thinking. Conversations just flow like its natural and like were the only people in the room.

I glance at Chris like he is a prince. James nudges me. I snap out of it and look at the clock. I sigh as time is almost up. Chris and James look at the clock too then start to pack up their stuff. We three walk to the door. Silence ensues and I look up. Chris is looking at me. He smiles like I am a princess. I smile back and our eyes stay locked. Time stops. Heat starts to rush to my head and I feel a total adrenaline rush. I wonder if he is feeling the same. He just seems so content with looking into my eyes. The bell rings and I break the stare. We say our goodbyes and I float out of the room.

I wish that moment could last forever. It felt like a dream, but it wasn't. It was real and so is he. I just hope the dream that me and him are together becomes real too.

Writing: Waiting is the Hardest Part

My eyes fill with tears. I know its coming. I don't want it to. I wish I could turn back time and start over, but chances are the results will be the same. I can't stop my words from coming out and I can't stop your response.

I can hear your words like its happening now. Another risk taken, another rejection. Its like a knife is about to stab my heart. Another cycle of goodbye completed. Almost full circle now.

Another faked smile, another wish that I could change your mind. It's all clear to me. I just want it to happen now so I can get over this. Waiting is the hardest part I guess.

Writing: In the End, it's all Gravity

We are different
But something
Has a connection
From me to you

You like scary movies
I can't watch one
I like romantics
You hate them

The connection
A smile
Your eyes
Changes it all

You listen to The Maine
You love their music
I listen to Nickelback
I love their lyrics

In the end I wish
Our feelings are the same
Because I am pulled to you
Just like gravity

For you I would
Listen to your music
Watch scary movies
Love to have a chance

Writing: Lyrics Speak for Me

Another one of my poems where I put lyrics from different songs together. This only works when I have a REALLY hard time saying how I feel. Tell me what you think. I count 11 different songs in this poem.

I can't turn off the radio
I keep singing
Because of you
Please don't stop the music

Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
I'd dance in a storm
In my best dress

Holding my breath
What a rush
See you make your way
Through the crowd

Time is going by
So much faster than I
I've gotta let you know
I'm with you

Writing: Best Friend

I reach out
to you
Over and over
Try my best

I feel myself
Loosing your grip
You promised
We wouldn't become distant

Best friend
I can't lose you
I can only
reach out so far

Best friend
Was it something
I said to you?
I feel us drifting

Best friend
I used to be
The first person
You came to

Best friend
Don't let go
I still need you
Don't you need me?
