the city is cold
and i know you
feel alone
i long for your hands
such a simple pleasure
the snow outside
changes your clothes
im in love with your soul
romantic and hopeful
every word you write
makes me love you more
every breathe you take
is poetry ive not written

i saw your face again today
and youd be angry with me
because as i gazed upon
it for one last time
i tore it to shreds
and threw it into
the rubbish can
because life is but a dream
as the song says
you dont have
the power you once did
how does that
make you feel
to be powerless
these things i surely know

how different we think life would be
if we could go back in time and change it

that would include taking the risk
that we wouldnt screw it up a second time around

the wind this morning
carried your voice to me
but when i turned my head
it was gone

enchanted both heart and mind
but when i turned my head
it was gone

the thought came to me
why do i keep turning away

whisper to me
so that the world drowns out its noise
hide from me
that everything else is looked over
touch me not
until each moment is an expectation
list me among the things least regarded
that i outdo myself to prove my worth

before it blooms
a rosebush is little more than
a useless bunch of thorns
yet once the rose appears
we sing only its praise

then be like that gardener
who planted the bush
and who loves it
at every stage
for what it will become
