Did You Ever Fall In Love?

DID YOU?

DID YOU EVER LOVE A GIRL
BUT KNEW SHE DIDN’T CARE
DI DYOU EVER FEEL LIKE CRYING
BUT KNEW YOU’D GET NOWHERE

DID YOU EVER SEE HER DANCING
WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE DOWN LOW
DID YOU EVER WHISPER GOD I LOVE YOU
BUT NEVER LET HER KNOW

DID YOU EVER LOOK INTO HER EYES
AND SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
DID YOU EVER LOOK INTO HER HEART
AND WISH THAT YOU WERE THERE

DON’T EVER FALL IN LOVE
IT DOESN’T PAY A DIME
IT ONLY CAUSES BROKEN HEARTS
YET IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

DON’T EVER FALL IN LOVE MY FRIEND
YOU’LL HURT BEFORE IT’S THROUGH
YOU SEE I OUGHT TO KNOW
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU

Street Life ( Another poem from my highschool years)

STREET LIFE

HERE I SIT
ALONE AND SCARED
WONDERING IF MY
PARENTS CARED

THAT I GOT UP
AND RAN AWAY
NOT TO BE IN THAT
HOUSE ANOTHER DAY

I SIT ON A CORNER
FREEZING COLD
AND BEYOND MY YEARS
I’M GROWING OLD

I BEG AND STEAL
JUST TO EAT
I NO LONGER HAVE SHOES
TO COVER MY FEET

PEOPLE SPIT AND FROWN
AND CURSE AT MY SIGHT
BUT LET’S SEE THEM,
MAKE IT THROUGH A WINTERS NIGHT

TO GET THROUGH THE DAY
I HAD TO GET HIGH
GETTING DRUGS ON THE STREET
WAS AS EASY AS PIE

THE SAME NEEDLE WAS
USED BY US ALL
THE SKINNY THE FAT
THE SHORT AND TALL

I HAD A FRIEND DIE
NEARLY BY THE WEEK
BUT NO ONE CARED
JUST ONE LESS FREAK

BECAUSE TO THE REST
OF THE WORLD WE’RE JUST SCUM
SITTING ON THE CORNER
ALL FROZEN AND NUMB

NOW I LAY DEAD
JUST ANOTHER STAT
AND SOCIETY WONDERS
HOW I LIVED LIKE THAT

Blasts From The Past

So here I am looking around some old emails and I find an email that I sent to myself from my parents computer after I moved out of their house. This email contains a number of poems that I wrote in my highschool years, approximately 15 years ago. So I thought for shits and giggles I would share these with you, so my next few posts will be these found poems.......good times good times!!!

So here we go.....

HOW

THE RAINBOWS SHOWING
THE POT OF GOLD
TELLING THE SADEST STORY
THAT’S EVER BEEN TOLD

IT RINGS OUT LIKE
A CHILDS CRY
IT MAKES ME THINK
AND WONDER WHY

SEEING THE PAIN
THAT YOU GO THROUGH
MAKES ME WONDER
WHY IT HAPPENS TO YOU

I WISH I COULD SAVE YOU
FROM YOUR UNDENIABLE FATE
I JUST HOPE AND PRAY
THAT I’M NOT TO LATE

YOUR SMILE BRIGHTENS
UP EVERYDAY BUT
YOUR TEARS CHASE
THAT JOY AWAY

SO YOU MADE
A LITTLE MISTAKE
BUT A REASON TO HIT YOU
THAT DOES NOT MAKE

THIS IS SOMETHING
I CAN’T BELIEVE HE DID
HOW CAN SOMEONE
HIT THEIR KID
