You shouldn't be so understanding
So quick to listen to my aches and pains,
My grievances, my annoyances,
Questioning whether I am sane
Or insane or just not thinking at all.
Yet you still ask “how are you?”
Get concerned when I say 'okay'
And you keep praying someday things will change.
You shouldn't be so thoughtful
So quick to pull me in near.
Knowing the words to make it better,
How to make me smile
When my eyes are brimming with tears
And I don't want to go on
But you keep pushing me forward
And helping me stand when I feel weak.
I shouldn't be so self-centered;
Watching you ignore your own well-being
To sacrifice yourself to help another--
And I watch in awe at how
You can be so gentle yet stern.
I find myself wanting to be better
To make you proud once more
And hope you still want me around.
I shouldn't be so absorbed
With a world that does not exist beyond my mind.
Getting upset when puzzle pieces fall to the floor
And it's not even the puzzle I wanted to solve;
But you help pick the pieces back up
Show me how to let go;
And I just don't know how to repay you
With how much you make me shine.
I shouldn't be so dependent
But you shouldn't be so kind.
But when I find myself around you--
It's just so easy to break down and unwind.
You put your arms around me
And I feel strength once more
And perhaps maybe I am strong enough to make it
And lift myself off this cold floor.
I shouldn't do many of the things I do
Shouldn't find myself constantly leaning
Against you. And I am sorry for the pain I've caused,
Sorry for the scars I've made,
And I hope you can be proud of me someday
And I can do something that makes your life better
The way you have made mine.

Sometimes I Write...
Today was the first day of the rest of our lives.
We looked back on yesterday
and saw strangers performing
a warped mimicry
of our own intentions.
The outcome was never quite right.
We would never do such a thing.
We paved this road ourselves.
We made our beds
and now it's time to lie in them -
We made ourselves
and now it's time to lie to them.
Why save fiction for sweet dreams
and saccharine touches?
We have plenty for everyone.
You held me close and whispered
"Sharing means caring."
I read between the lines
and saw a sign printed:
Misery Loves Company.
A penny for my thoughts is far too expensive.
I am a book you
Literature
Something...
Something you've needed to hear...
You are my light in the darkness.
The strength that keeps me from breaking.
The one to mend my battered and bruised self.
My reason to continue through the rough patches.
The greatest friend I've ever known.
You for some reason love this broken soul
when no one else has or tried.
You can see me for all that I am
even though I'm invisible to the rest of the world.
You keep my weak heart beating
even when it just wants to give in and shatter.
You've gathered all the broken pieces of who I am,
and placed them back in order,holding them in place.
And even my darkest days you make bright.
I am less

Broken Melody
A broken melody
Holds a key
Deep within the chords
Of a rundown piano,
Where I used to play
A song of relief,
Remembering.
While browsing the pieces
Of my song book
I write.
Turning the pages,
Scribbling a note,
So I could bring back
A song,
That once played
The keys to my heart
With a resounding tone
As I recall every song
I have played
with my piano,
So blissfully,
So wistfully,
That I almost forgot
What it really means,
To be alive...
While performing,
While listening,
A broken melody.

I have no idea what I would do without you.
I seriously don't even know how you put up with me...
Because half the time I can't even put up with myself...
Things happen for a reason, they say.
Lets hope they are right.
And things will be better in the end.
Thank you for being my best friend.
