Poem For Poem

Listen to poem:
Poem for poem, rhyme for rhyme I'll continue to write, until it's time Time being death, which I never see close to me Sometimes I find placement in places I don't want to be Like in your conversations, did we forget my positivity? Like how I helped them at their worst, after they've begged me constantly I'm running out of options as well as doing favors Handouts become expected from those I consider takers Rekindling former loves can become very likely I could tag one in with Nick and make a special trip to Raleigh My time is valued more, and I choose how I spend it By now they've realized my love has no limit Part 2 was about you know who, I hope she liked it You never know what you like at first, until you try it Old feelings, new women, mismatching Old friends, new rivals, backstabbing I feel sharper than I did at 8:00pm Thinking back to the issue, it was best ignoring that DM All problems became trivial once I showed them what Happiness is Expression of a man, loving mothers and their kids Yet, it's so easy for words to become twisted The bullet misses the target, then the meaning becomes misted Count on being forgiven for things I didn't do Addressed it in full, all love from me to you Poem for poem, rhyme for rhyme I hope through the hard times, I remain on your mind We're not perfect nor are we saints Not even as Xavier, shall I discard restraint I've fulfilled my Ideas of Gold Even if the expression was Too Much These are thoughts that I hold Never too sensitive to touch

Ohhhh Xavier, I LOVE the audio, the music fits perfectly. I can see you on stage, performing it. Have you ever done that? I already loved your poem, but this recording made it even more alive! Fave and a 7 for you.

Thank you very much Darren! I've never performed live on stage. That could possibly be the next step for me! I currently live a very busy lifestyle with few moments to myself for writing, but when I craft my work, I think about how deep I'm able to connect with my readers. Again, I thank you for your support and more than happy you liked the audio! :)
