smart and smooth

Posted on by under Faith, Getting Over It, Girls, God, My Favorites

i can’t be smart and i can’t be smooth
i can’t see me from your point of view
i’m only me and i’m afraid
i’m not the man God meant when He made

all this skin and sadness and a heart i just can’t find
i lost it to a girl i can’t get off my mind

He says He loves me, i don’t know why
He says it doesn’t matter how hard i try
i’m only me, i’ll never be more
He says just to drop His name at the door

so she may not love me
but i think i’ll be ok
i’m gonna let her go
till she’s the one that got away

poetry fails

Posted on by under Girls, Love, My Favorites

 

your voice sways the curtains

soft as a breeze
so long since i’ve felt this
i miss you

poetry fails
words grind against
feelings i hide
i love you
and i don’t care
as long as you
as long as you
don’t leave.

intimacy

Posted on by under Girls, Love, My Favorites

intimacy the magic and the fury
of being for you what you are for me
i want to discover, till i can’t remember…
what it was like to have to wonder

your skin, fragile under sunlight
my lips against the sensative spots
the heat of closeness, we stare…
i trace lines through your hair

hands against you
words wait by the bed
what we’re making
can’t be said

shadows squeezed out by our light
making eternal this trembling night
and i close my eyes to hear you try
to feel the full effect of a heavy sigh

and then you laugh
and there we lie
and i never say
goodbye

if i wasn’t so fat

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

she would of loved me if i wasn’t so fat
i doubt everything, but i’m sure of that
she didn’t love me so neither do i
i see myself through her distracted eyes
everyone smiles but they never stay
they would if i didn’t drive them away
i’d love to wonder what kind words might mean
instead of knowing they want something from me
if only i could tease, just once to flirt
but it’s a man’s game, boys just get hurt
everything i defined myself around
is trembling and falling to ground
until all that’s left is all i need
a love that waits to set me free
from every pound, and just-a-friend
from all the reasons i’ll fail again
love, break me open and stitch my wounds
tell me i’ll find someone soon

half a mind

Posted on by under Girls, Love

guy meets girl and doesn’t stand a chance

i’ve sung this song, i’ve done this dance
where i stumble on the edge of hope and fantasy
and fall on reality eventually

but you’re almost enough that i believe
dreams come true and rabbits come from sleeves
and if you don’t know how amazing you are
i’ve half a mind to tell you

beggars and choosers

Posted on by under Girls, Hope, My Favorites, Sad

 

if beggars can’t be choosers
how can i let you go?
i’ve never heard a yes but i’m
so quick to tell you no

for what? just a shadow i chase
a fantasy i’ve seen on tv
i’m starving but i’m passing on
what you put in front of me

i’m sorry maybe more than i know
but i’ve got to see where this road ends
so hate me if you have to
but i’m just gonna be your friend

Bees

Posted on by under Girls, Love

They say love can change a man.
I guess I could never understand
Until I met you
Now I know it’s true.

‘Cause when I’m around you
I never know what to say
When I’m around you
The silence is A-OK.

When I’m around you
I don’t care what’s on tv
When I’m around you baby
I’m not afraid of bees

you make me brave
you make me strong
you make me… happy.

you make me the man i’ve always wanted to be.

my friends laugh they say
“have we met before?”
but don’t want to be
the old me anymore

now that i’ve found you
i feel brand new.

woke up

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

you got drunk again last night
there was no one there to stop you
you danced for all the boys
because they dared you to

i’m ashamed that i was there
but i was so afraid
i convinced myself that they
were your mistakes to make

but i wonder where you woke up…

people move on

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


i think of the women whom i have loved
i am too quick with that word
i left my heart on the doorstep
like a rumor they’d already heard

who is to blame when things don’t stay the same?
people move on, they get cold
i can’t forget smiling faces
joy once was so bold

i’m praying i’ll forget the way
it seemed so right just yesterday
i had something, but now it’s gone
people move on

i think the one who loved me
no, i guess she never did
she was not shy in saying it though
i still bleed wounds from cupid

i think of the reasons i wanted her
i wonder why she was my wish
when all the world is leaving
she is the only thing that i miss
