I once had this teacherwho had put a sticky note on the inside of my notebookfor that class. The inside of each cover was fullof quotes, that I wrote on sticky notes.Except for the inside of the front cover.It had one open spot left. You see, over
In this cottage surrounded by nature and beauty,
there are so many things that seem unruly.
This nice little house is grey and green,
overgrown with vines and leaves.
Don't let this view fool you,
Friendships don't always last, then again some just might;
People grow apart sometimes through fight or through flight.
You had a spark of something excellent that came from inside;
In one year,
I noticed a change in the universe.
No longer running
through her purse,
for loose change
like an endless,
leather garden,
never stopping to
smell the roses.
Another morning comes, another day has started
Your still not here, my heart is guarded
Gone so sudden yet so soon
You didn’t deserve to go, my world feels so doomed
Almost a year ago this happened
Again
Try to death experience
Although
You dead in a thousand of your poems
And each poem
Your soul is bleed
This is for you
for turning your back on me
for taking what belongs to me
and place it under someone else’s feet
in a plate of gold.
(To My Dearest Friend)
If I lay here, would time slip away?
Would the sun shine brighter than any other normal day?
Sometimes I do pray to see you again to repay
All the wrong things that I say
Broken bottles and tired eyes
Filled with tears you never meant to cry
The corroding building where you go to play
Death is crazy. One day you are at you first day of junior high. A new school, a new year. No familiar faces, but familiar memories now.
I can’t remember my first words to you,
But I can’t forget all the things I wanted to say.
I can’t remember what you were wearing that day in April,
But I can’t forget the way you smiled the whole night.
To Greg on His Birthday
I hate that death separates us,
the hand that turns the page pausing,
poised,
as if to consider the weight
of a single sparrow as it falls to the ground:
Here lies the cat in grander soft and big,
In dreams he prances quickly and sly.
If possible cat would catch the horrible pig,
He who does not stop being a bad guy.
That smile that lit up the roomm
Those eyes that were, oh so beautiful
That personality that no one could stay mad at
You changed lives
Set new trends
Gave a new meaning to life
My skin is paper
Thin and weak
I look for shields
Over the weeks.
My skin is a canvas
Nice and strong
Ready for painting
All night long.
But my time is nearing
When you took your last breath
You took mine with you
When your heart stopped beating
Mine lost the will to keep going
When the light left your eyes
You took mine with it
