Have you ever looked upon a star, Or gazed upon the midnight sky, Wishing your entire heart away, Watching your life just pass you by? Wanting a helping hand, Wishing for a love to carry through. I have been wishing for many nights, And all I’ve wished about is you. The nights I cry with tears in my eyes Are the nights I wished upon stars. Gazing, praying, hoping deeply The love I have can be ours. I am too scared to say I love you, And I only want your hand to hold. And e...

And I saw you again Sitting, watching, waiting… Staring out the window. I wanted you to see me, Wanting you to feel the same. I stared at your handsome face, For such a long time. But you never knew the glance you felt, Was mine. When you got up to leave, My eyes followed your every move. I wanted to cry… Because every day I never tell you, Is another day I want to die… When I saw you there, The feelings were truly there. Every single breath I took, Wanted me to take anot...

When vengeance fills my being, And I sit there wondering. What did I ever do to deserve this? Why can’t I be like her and live in bliss? Then I think about one I love so dearly, But he doesn’t know how I feel. Should I tell him the way of my heart? Should I have told him from the start? Oh, the thought of love daunts me, For the love I lost before. Could I take this chance and see? Could he feel the exact same way with me? Friendship is worth everything, A broken heart is a...

I have a silent wish That no one knows And the more I think about it The more it seems to grow My silent wish includes A love I had so long ago Not the one everyone might think of Who undoubtedly told me no. This love has been alive in me For at least 5 years or more But I have not found the courage to ask If he wants to see what’s in store Maybe this silent wish is wrong Maybe I shouldn’t tell him I care Having a broken heart more than once Is more than this heart can be...

I have had a dream… it is the same dream, but every time I dream about it, it goes farther and farther into the story… It is in a medieval castle and I am standing in the top window looking down over all the fields. Right next to the horizon I see a knight on a horse. My dream is only watching him ride closer and closer. A few nights ago I finally completed the dream. The knight came into my room and took off his helmet… and it was someone I used to love so long ago. After that d...

Let your life down, And take a walk underneath Someone else’s stars. Walk through their happiness. Walk through their pain. Walk through their humiliation. Walk through their shame. Walk underneath someone else’s stars Look up at their lonely sky. Maybe then you will know exactly, Why they want to cry. They cry because of what they’ve done. The cry because they take the blame. It was them who wasn’t perfect enough, For the one they love to claim. But what about the othe...

I hear you laughing Your voice is always in the back of my head It always has been Always been there, ever since the day you left. Ever since the day you walked across that stage. I knew I lost something from that point on But I still kept your voice in my memories. I keep your picture in my nightstand. Trying to stop loving you has been the hardest achievement I have ever tried to accomplish. And yet, I’ve still never succeeded. You will never read this, But, in my heart I wi...

What does a smile mean? Does it mean “Hello”? Does it mean “Glad to see you”? Is it a sarcastic way of saying, “You got exactly what you deserved.” or “Look at where I am and look at where you are.”? Every time I see a person smile… I question exactly what it means. But when they come up and talk to you following that smile… you tend to know their exact intentions. They wanted it to be friendly and they wanted to be thoughtful. When you see someone smile at you, but they absolutely...

I have a friend… we are developing a relationship. I don’t know where it will lead us, but wherever it does I will be very happy. We decided a good way to develop an understanding of each other is to ask each other questions (I have done it before in the past and it really does work.). Well, I first sent him an internet survey. I filled out mine first and sent it back before he did though. One of the questions was, “Do you believe in love?” and my response was, “More than anything.” ...

Don’t tell me not to cry, When I see the anger building in your eyes. Don’t tell me you care, When I know you wish me to die. Don’t speak such kind words, Only to gain back my trust. Don’t tell me you really did love me, When we both knew you were in lust. Don’t look at me when you kiss her, Just to see me run and hide. Don’t tell me you’ve never twisted the truth, When we both know all you’ve done is lied. Don’t make yourself look so innocent, Like you haven’t done a...

Ha- I wanted a catchy title so people would read this... I hope I got your attention. : ) The title of the poem is “I Need You”… I want input… please comment and tell me what you think. Many can say they’ve had a lifetime of regrets, And I can’t deny that I’ve had mine. But another added to the list Is one regret never missed. And makes the life you live less divine. The worst mistake made yet, Is one’s feelings locked inside. It is foolish to hide such powerful emotions, On...

So many things I regret, so many things I wish I had never done. I realized I learned valuable lessons from each of these mistakes, but maybe… I learned the most by watching exactly what I missed. When I was hurt the most… exactly one year ago, there was one person who was there for me unconditionally. His name was David. David and I have always been really close, and I went to him whenever I was angry, crying, depressed or even happy. The worst part was, earlier that year I completely ...

I am irritated with false friends. The people who said (and might still say) they will always be there for you… but they never are. In fact, when you needed a friend the most... they turned their back to you and walked away. You then question yourself, what have I done wrong? What did I do that was so terrible for everyone to turn their back to me? Did I break someone’s heart? Did I lie to someone? Did I turn around and completely destroy someone and not give a shit? I am irri...

He walked by, As softly as a kiss, As quiet as the twilight. He walked by. So where this path shall lead us, None shall know. But he walked by… I felt his presence. He walked by, But stopped right behind me. The feeling lingered in the air But, he walked on. I felt fear arise A deathly pale fear The type of fear that destroys love. And I choked on my own voice. Now I walked in, I saw him from afar And the feeling arose once more When I only find to see, He was looki...

Love is something so beautiful, words cannot accurately describe it. But, the true question is… when do you know you’re in love? Deep down that seems to be the only question I have to ask. There is a guy, he is absolutely perfect. He is handsome, extremely academic, funny, kind… everything anyone could ever ask for. But, it’s not like I have had feelings for him forever… I just noticed who he truly was one day and wanted to know him. But, he’s never talked to me… ever. We are not...
