Notes About The Poem
This poem is about how I prefer to have the right experience take place instead of writing about a negative experience. It's about wanting her honesty. I believe she is a human being at the end of the day, not successful poetry.
More Than Just Words
I'm tired of you becoming just words,
On every page when I write at night.
I saw you as a pretty face at first;
I wouldn't mind if my ink pen dried.
I say it because you're a human being;
These situations are not my type.
I want "I love you" to mean something,
And you stay right by my side.
Honestly, when I write poetry,
The feeling is unconfirmed, undecided, undefined.
You are worth more to me
Than words written down on every line.
I'd prefer to have you in my arms;
Paper and pen will not tear us apart.
