That's Because

The worst thing you ever did to me,
Was to tell me I am beautiful,
And make me fall,
For your beautiful soul,
Your humour, your charm,
But while I can't get your lovely self
Off my mind,
At me you won't look twice,
Apparently because,
You are a lovely idiot.

Better Left Unsaid

If you could read my mind,
I'd tell you I love you,
Tell you how wonderful you are to me,
How everything you do resounds with me.
If you could read my mind,
I'd tell you the truth,
Just how perfect you'd be,
If only you loved me.

Falling for Someone You Shouldn't

It's realising you can miss someone,
When they're right there with you,
And still missing them that way,
For long after they're gone.
It's loving everything about them,
That you'd hardly noticed before,
Even loving their mistakes,
Their cute quirks and flaws.
It's wanting to tell them everything,
But limiting what you say,
Wishing they'd tell you everything,
Every boring detail of every day.
It's knowing you're only dreaming,
But letting your mind run free,
Going to sleep each night,
Dreaming that you're with me.

This Poem Is About You

Patience is a virtue,
So it's surprising I have any.
All's fair in love and war,
So you leave me in the dark.
The grass is always greener,
But I'm always feeling blue.
There are plenty of fish in the sea,
But all I want is you.

I'd be as free as a bird,
If you didn't captivate me,
Love will tear us apart,
That's how I'm feeling lately.
Words can't bring me down,
But what you said, it echoes.
Silence is golden,
And it makes me want to scream.

Critical

I am my own worst critic,
And I've done my worst,
Critically. It is catastrophe,
A catastrophical display of,
The worst of me.
Come and see,
What I mean, judge me,
Because after all.
Your judgement doesn't mean
That much to me.

Where are the pieces

Where are you when I need you,
Anyone to hold me together,
Because I feel I'm falling apart
With the pieces flying far,
And the pain in me now,
Is so different to what I've felt,
Before, in all my years,
Everything has come together,
Into a crushing weight,
More than I can take,
Perhaps. But I've been so strong,
I want to fight, carry on,
I just need to find the pieces,
Please return my heart and help me,
Clear confusion from my head.

Dare I Dream

If I said see you in an hour,
Would you call me crazy,
Or would you open the door,
With open arms and open heart,
Brush my tears away and kiss me,
Halt my sorrow, ease my mind,
Hold me close and whisper,
Sweet nothings to pass the night.
