poems from my vacation

"Alone"

My wall is up now and forever
Waiting for the day
That someone causes me to change

No secrets will be spilled
No truths revealed
Just me, myself and I
Sitting all alone

My thoughts they are my own
With no one they are shared
I dont trust anyone enough
To just let them in my head

Maybe one day someone will come along
Who breaks down my wall
And who I let in
Someday I will trust again

But for now I sit waiting
Always watching, listening and learning
Learning to love, to enjoy and to just live
Always learning to trust the world again


“You and Me”

As I gaze upon the starlight skies
My thoughts start to drift towards you and I
The waves crashing all around
Send my thoughts into motion

I see us walking hand in hand
Our feet leaving a trail of footprints in the sand
I see us sharing secrets
And past lives
I see us growing old together
And then ultimately I see
All of my thoughts drift back to you and me

Good thoughts, bad thoughts and all those in-between
Every thought just leads back to you and me

My pulse is racing as fast as my thoughts
Your running through my mind and my eyes
I see you from across the room
And all the thoughts rush back
I tried to banish them back to no avail
Everything just seems to lead back to you and me

Your warm embrace is all I remember and more
Your smell fills my head just as before
Your lips brush mine and so I see
Why everything leads back to you and me

I am my happiest when you’re around
And have seen some of my brightest days
Everyone can see it and see how
Everything leads back to you and me

So thus starts a new chapter of my life
Filled with many firsts and even newer thirsts
Filled with emotions and experiences
Happiness, overjoys, and sometimes sadness too
But all of it is worth it because I have you

Now looking back on it after years have passed
Nothing have I ever regretted
Those times were some of my happiest ones
And in sadness too I learned things I never knew
I thank God every day that he gave me you
But most of all I am thankful that
Simply everything leads back to me and you


“Sadness behind the Eyes”

Your eyes tell me more than you know
They let me look at you
They let me look into your soul

No one knows you as well as your eyes do
But if you give me a chance
I want to know you as well too

Looking into your eyes I see sadness
And I don’t know why
You don’t talk to me or tell me why
You just look at me with those sad eyes

You have no idea how lucky you are
Have no need to be sad
Just look around and see
See everything

The roses in their reds and golds
The stars and the moon when they have shown
The faces of all the people around
But mostly just look into my eyes

My eyes see you for who you really are
An amazingly sweet person
A shining star

Sure you may have gotten a little lost along the way
But those things matter most
They made you who you are today
They made you stronger by knocking you down
They made you question
Every sight and sound

Those experiences shaped you inside and out
And made you into the sad eyed person of today

Just take my hand
And trust in me please
For this is the start of a new day

A new day of memories
A new day of joy
A day to make the sadness melt away

So trust in me so soon you will be
The amazing boy that I see
Every time that I catch you
Looking at me
