I Am Not A Great Friend

I am the knife in the back,
the arsenic and the tears,
I am the silent scream of hate,
the vindictive words that pour.
I am not a great friend.
More likely to hurt you than
to love you, I am not that great.
Insensitive thought and
hurtful words are all I know.
And I am so sorry.

These Roots Have Grown So Deep

We love you in this time-
Of pictures in the hallway,
Of laughs at two in the morning,
Of seeing your face everyday.

You never looked more beautiful-
then under parking garage lights,
then in your sweats and tees,
then when you hugged with all your might.

You were never more unforgettable-
when you sang songs with all of your voice,
when you became a mermaid with me,
when you wouldn't have left if you had the choice.

Life was never more amazing-

than when I gave you my heart,

than when this became our town,
than when we tore this place apart.

I'll be here when you return.

I Am Not Waiting For Anything

Our lives are full of worries,
What decisions we will have to make next,
From school to jobs to our "soul mates",
I just want to live to live.
