-untitled-

Suddenly the world flipped
I was all alone and felt so cold
I feel left in the ditch
My body young but mind so old

There's no more pain
I lie awake and feel so warm
You were a tough stain
Now i feel torn

I wonder if you'll get this is for you
The poems i write 
The ones that paint me so blue
I wonder if you'll know tonight

I'm not sad or hurt
My sad hum, I'm just lost
Im not alone or in the dirt
Cause the water comes from frost

But you don't know your own heart
How much warmer it makes mine
I could explain but oh how to start
Oh the fun it'd be if you were mine

I've been smothering myself in doubt
I'm trying to find a means to the ends
feelings like the plagues coughing bout
Oh how i wish for us to make amends

I bet you think you know
But its not you in which i write for
Its them for which the words flow
I hope they want me to write more

How, my feelings for you, do i say
They stick and never left through war
I see you from day to everyday
How do i open this door?

I bet you're confused
As you are the reader
I wish you to be bemused
In this maze of words my pen, the leader

The words that i find don't seem to confess
But alas i wait for you with a smile
My life goes on i do seem to digress
But for you I'd speak for many a mile

I will not allow a waste of my tears
I will not bend or break for i am man
My spirit cries out for maybe years
But evil before you i forever ban

The purpose of my poetic tongue?
Why worry for the way i make idea's
From the course you've flung
You would end up deeper than the sea's

Minds are complex and this poem stands the test
I wish to see if you know who you are
The one who puts my worries to true unholy rest
The one who will truly raise the bar

Goodbye for now unknowing
Farewell to you too the one who lent an ear
Your mind is ever growing
But you cannot see in me for you are no seer
