Three-Hundred-And-Sixty-Five-Days

It has been almost one year,

	Three-hundred-and-sixty-five-days. And yet, it's only been three-hundred-and-fifty. But I already love you in so many ways.

	Three-hundred-and-sixty-five-days is a long, long time together. Are you scared, my love, like I? Read me more poems about the weather.

	Three-hundred-and-sixty-five-days to show you each and every day how much I care. I keep trying so hard - trust me, trust me. But sometimes it seems like you don't play fair.

	Three-hundred-and-sixty-five-days to beg you to fall in love with me too. Hundreds of days ago, you once said, "No." But now, I have you ask you...

	Do you really love me?

A Message To These Girls On the 'Net

This is a message to these girls on the ‘net:
You are just lucky I haven’t met you yet.
I’m on to your games – I’m well aware;
Let me warn you, I’m not easy to scare.

(Go ahead and flirt with him)

Type up your cutesy comments,
All those desperate texts? I hope they’re sent.
Call him a hundred times and two more;
Leave enough voicemails to make your voice sore.

(Show him how desperate you really are.)

He’s mine now – all mine – so you better get a hint.
I’m getting really tired of this stupid stint.
Go find a life; go find a boy in reality.
It’s not my fault your heart has been a causality.

My boyfriend’s “cute”, my boyfriend’s “deep.”
Man, do you really think he’s that neat?
He’s a good listener – I know – makes you feel like you’re something.
Let me inform you: you are nothing.

I'll remind you again, he loves me
And I’m the only girl he wants to see.
Your words mean absolutely nothing to him.
So stop it … he’s not interested.

For Prince Nicholas, Piece Two

Sadness, overwhelming, to come to grips
with such an unpleasant reality
such as this.

To realize, my prince, I was not
your first wish, albeit your first kiss.

I should be sadder, I admit, but it's no surprise
to me, I am not the first to gaze lovingly into
your olive green eyes.

For Prince Nicholas, Piece One

My prince, hold your poetry close,
for it shall keep you company.
It will bring you beautiful serenity.
Locked away in the castle of your mind,
I will continue to climb.

Without You

Comatose - when you're not around. What am I
[supposed to do] without you?

Silence fills this not so filled apartment of ours
while I [im]patiently await your return.

I sit, idly. Nothing of importance
happens while you are not here.

"How was your day?" I'll ask you
when you arrive. You'll ask of mine

and I'll have nothing to say.
I am nothing [without you].

I Wrote a Letter For You Today

I wrote a letter for you today. But it’s okay – no need to worry – I threw it away.
Inside, I wrote of all these things I feel for/about you. But you could probably see through
my soul. See, I don’t feel (the same) right – sick in a sense; lonely in another. (I need my mother.)
I want you to come back now/soon/never. Until then, I will stare at my reflection in this spoon. 
We have so much we need to talk about. But it’s okay – no need to worry – there’s nothing to really say.

I Don'T Write Poems

I don’t write poems.
I also don’t sleep.

I can’t write poems.
I also can’t sleep.

I won’t write poems.
I also won’t sleep.

I write stories.
I also stay awake.

Maybe I should write poems.
Maybe I should try to sleep.

Trust

I want to trust you. I do trust you … I’m just scared.

Take All the Space

Take all the space...
You don't need to see my face
anymore.

But when you return 

And I'm not here,
Don't fear...
you now all have your space.
