Poetry Time!

So I thought I'd put up a couple poems I've written... I then realized how incredibly depressing my poetry is!! If it isn't depressing, I find it incredibly boring. But then I find that the only time I write poetry is when I'm upset! Seriously, I think I might be secretly emo... Anywhoo, here's a few poems anyways. I'll end with a happier one so I don't depress people into not reading this anymore :)
Also, sorry they're so spread out, the formatting on this thing is kicking my butt!!

Maturity                                                                                                      Swimming Lessons

What is it                                                                                              Your eyes sail away

that makes me so easy                                                                           across an ocean

to lose?                                                                                                        of Solitude.

So simple                                                                                                   Your mouth has ceased

to just let go.                                                                                          to voice the tides

He told me                                                                                                 that kept you here.

I’d never lose him.                                                                                       Distance

He lied.                                                                                                        is all I feel,

~                                                                                                               in crashing waves

Apparently it’s better                                                                               from your very core.

for him.                                                                                                          If you don't return

Nothing left                                                                                                   I'll lose you

but me,                                                                                                         forever.

my split heart.                                                                                          Pursuit is impossible

Years and years                                                                                         for I cannot swim.

I’ve known him.

His heart

so sweet

professed

early love.

I believed

his blue eyes.

I

never could

have guessed

he lied.

~

I’m trying so hard

not to care.

He feels

I never cared.

He voiced words

like knives.

Our friendship hangs

like ribbons,

shredded.

He promised

he’d go

nowhere.

He lied.


8-Count



I

love too

much the thrill

of twirling and

stepping across the

dance floor. I crave the strong

connection in his arms that

would never fail or let me drop.

~

The

sway of

sexy swing

moves with his hand,

firm on my back and

shoulder. Step-step-hold and

dipping me lower, deeper

than anyone sharing the floor.

~

Blues.

He leads.

I follow,

my face inches

from his, like sex in

heels on hardwood floors. We

gravitate to the edge as

he catches my breath, impassioned.


Well there ya go, I hope you enjoyed it :)
