I was addicted to your touch
Then you cheated on me
Now I hate your guts

Forever ended so soon
I thought we were going
To die together
Now when I see you
I wish we never met each other

I loved you so much
And I’m so sorry for what I did
Cheating on you
Messed up our relationship in deed

Forever I promised
My heart would belong to you
Now we are not togther
And I miss you
I wish you’ll except my apology, I love you.

That there is a cure for AIDS
I have a dream
That all deadly diseases will go away
I have a dream
That the youth will stop killing
I have a dream
That more youth will be in the land of the living
I have a dream
That more fathers will take care of their children
I have a dream…

I write about you
Stanza three and stanza four
I write about our love

On top of the page
I write our name in a heart
When writing that poem
I daydreamed of us never being apart

Everytime I put my pen to paper
You come to my mind
Never writing the blues
Just metaphors similar to you

You can see a copy of the poem
But the orginial is written on my heart
The only way “Endless Love” can be destroyed
Is if our love grows apart.

But ends up wrong
It can be beautiful
But leave you scorned
Make you smile, then make you cry
This is what we call LIFE.

You can fly like a bird
Or sink like a ship
You could have a fabulous career
Or work for dollars and cents
You could live in darkness or in the light
This is what we call LIFE.

It can make you or break you
Spin you or shake you
Molds you and folds you
And make you old too
You can lose or you could fight
But this is what we call LIFE.

Two cups of kisses
Three quartz of hugs
Five grams of quality time
Seven gallons of love
One cup of disagreements
Six ounces of disappointments
Three liter of lonely nights
Ten pounds of lust
One bandage for a broken heart.

And when you kiss me
I melt like ice
A day without you is more sour than a lemon
And to me, your heart is as fragile as glass
You relax my mind like yoga
And you make me laugh like a comedian
I want to be around you all the time
Like a mother to her newborn child

Sometimes I see the agony from my past
Then I ask myself,
Why did I want to grow up so fast?
When I look in the mirror
I don’t find myself attractive at all
I wonder what other people are seeing
When they say “you’re a beautiful girl”
When I look in the mirror
I look at the black rings around my eyes
Remembering the sleepless nights I had
Because of the thoughts on my mind
When I look in the mirror
At times I may cry
My reflection hurts my eyes.

Overcoming the obstacles I may face

Undecided where my road may end

Rearing myself to direction I want to go

Not regretting the past

Excited about the good things to come

Yawning because its been a long time.

Before I received your letter

I knew of your situation

The thing that puzzles me is,

Why are you jealous?

I’m not better than you

I’m just the Moon

You’re a prisoner behind bars

I’m the prisoner of the night

I can’t come out when I like

Most people pay me no mind

They love the stars rather than I

See we have things in common

Even though we are so far apart

Nevertheless, don’t let your situation

Sadden your heart

Become content with your surroundings

And you won’t be so blue

Farewell, Jerome number 1831422

I wonder about my future

I hear my alarm clock

I see the grey skies

I want a better life

I am caring and funny

I pretend to be happy

I feel a rock on my back

I touch a distant star

I worry about my mother’

I cry when I think of the past

I am caring and funny

I understand why we breathe

I say to know me is to love me

I dream of finishing college

I try to learn from my mistakes

I hope for a peaceful day

I am caring and funny
