Mirage

August 30th, 2009

Last night you held my hand, just like a few weeks ago when we kissed, and those were all dreams, but nothing feels as real as this. I’m lost in this state of mind, and I can’t figure out who you are, and in the process of figuring myself out too, I’m not getting very far. You did this to me unintended I beg, I didn’t expect anything out of words, but here I am with you running through my mind, and you haven’t seemed to step out yet. I never expected to see you like this, and I never expected to see myself acting the way I am, but here I am looking at myself in the mirror, appearance untouched, but looking deeper shows that nothing’s what it used to be. I’m at a loss of words on the fact we’ve been at a loss for words our self, and our conversation has ended. Waiting to talk to you has been on my mind for too long now, and every time my phone goes off my smile fades because your name isn’t there anymore. If it weren’t for my curiosity I would have never had to hear you say you’re sorry, and you weren’t, but it made me smile anyway. If you’re just a mirage it’d be nice if you could let me know now, because I don’t want to get too close to someone who will only disappear in the end.

Bull Durham Credo

August 27th, 2009

I believe in the overuse and the bad intentions of the word love,
The emotions hidden in conversations,
The strong bond between best friends,
The unspoken but understood truth,
The simple smile from a good morning text,
The colors of the rainbow:
Angry, cheerful, happy, jealous, depressed, love,
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

But I don’t find myself believing in religion; because I can never believe in something I could never fully understand.

I believe in losing myself in my writing,
I believe in soda in the morning,
I believe in passion,
I believe in never fully growing up,
Night lights, piggy banks, teddy bears,
Sailor Moon, Hello Kitty, Hannah Montana.

Most of all, I believe in memories; because after awhile they’re the only thing that doesn’t change.

Note: This was a structured poem that I had to write for my Creative Writing class. A Bull Durham Credo is a list of the things you believe, followed by something you don’t, and structured into the form of a poem.

Flying By

August 25th, 2009

You took me by surprise
I can barely hide this with a lie
And once I speak to you
Maybe I will know what to do

And I can’t hide the fact
My thoughts just aren’t exact
And realistically I don’t know you at all
So why did I let myself fall

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by

My identity’s gone just from talking to you
Nothing seems to be what I’m used to
I feel all giggly like a kid
I don’t even know what you did

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by

You found something I lost inside myself
And I wouldn’t want to put up with anybody else
Maybe things aren’t so strange
Life keeps giving me chances to change

[Chorus:]
Spinning in circles as I’m waiting for you
I just needed somebody to turn to
Who are you cause I can’t deny
When we talk time keeps flying by
