Ode To Guelph (Ode)

Ode To Guelph

There's a certain school in Ontario
That I simply can't stop thinking about
Like those happy songs on the stereo
It brightens my mood without any doubt

My friend said Guelph's not as good as Western
But Guelph is the best university
That's why next year I'll be going Guelph
And buying a shirt that says "Wuck Festern"
If you don't agree, then that's a pity
You'll have to realize it for yourself

Time Runs out (Free Poem)

TIME RUNS OUT


Time Runs Out

You've become so insincere
And I've been so lonely here
I find myself choking on words
When I have nothing to say

My heart;
You rest like an anchor
You weigh me down
And I drown
In your sea

I feel these memories
In my mind they're haunting me
But you're unafraid, unaffected
How have we gone so wrong

As the sunsets in the sky
I walk the streets, compromised
Counting steps, holding breath
And holding on til the end

From outside, its you I see
You saying words that once belonged to me
Sharing space with a face
For it could never be

I'd speak
Buy you'd kill the messenger
You were so lost in the blur
You couldn't even see
You meant everything to me

Abondoned empty and left drifting out at sea
Tethered to the thought of you, as you're disappearing

There's an image I'm seeing
But the colours are bleeding
Control yourself, and keep it that way
Protect your secrets
Cherish past love, with regret
We can't protect ourselves from ourselves

From outside, its you I see
You saying words that once belonged to me
Sharing space with a face
For it could never be

The weight of my words
Could once move your heaven and earth
But now they don't do a thing

Abondoned empty and left drifting out at sea
Tethered to the thought of you, as you're disappearing

You've become to insincere
And I've been so lonely here

I had to run and hide
To catch my breath
Why don't you come inside
And catch your breath


Time runs
Time runs
Time runs
Time runs out.

Two Kids (narrative poem)

Two Kids


There were two kids I once knew
With a love like I'd never seen
No matter what they went though
Their love; nothing could come between

Until it all fell apart
They still think about it today
It broke their little hearts
It wasn't supposed to be this way

He forced himself to leave
And regained his composure
His heart removed from his sleeve
He never needed closure

She held on oh so tightly
And never let him go
Composing a symphony
Just waiting on an echo

There's so much more I could say
Cause there's so much more to tell
Even on this very day
Those two kids will never say farewell

So Unforgiviable (lyrical poem)

So Unforgiviable



“ I only want to hear your voice again
My Romeo, I could be your poison
But I can't just pretend that we aren't coming to an end


Sometimes we're lost in smoke and mirrors
But one thing couldn't be clearer
That without you, I know
I would have nowhere to go


So where am I going?
And where have I been?
I don't know where to begin


We're birds of the same feather
Who just don't stick together
I can't go home empty handed
And hope you understand that
I'm the one who's working
I cross my heart 'til it won't stop hurting
so try to tell me that I am so unforgiveable”



“All I want is to have you here
Yet you come close just to disappear
And leave me all alone
Juliet leaves me on my own
I wrote her name on a piece of paper
And couldn't bring myself to erase her
I can't tell you myself
But we both know how I felt


So where am I going?
And where have I been?
I don't know where to begin


We're birds of the same feather
Who just don't stick together
I can't go home empty handed
And hope you understand that
I'm the one who's working
I cross my heart 'til it won't stop hurting
so try to tell me that I am so unforgiveable”



“I can only watch the clock
To keep track of all the time i've lost
Every tick, and every tock
Is another second lost
I can only watch the clock
To keep track of all the time I've lost
Every tick, and every tock
Is another second lost

We're birds of the same feather
Who just don't stick together
I can't go home empty handed
And hope you understand that
I'm the one who's working
I cross my heart 'til it won't stop hurting
so try to tell me that I am so unforgiveable”

Dream Come True (found poem)


Last Goodbye (sonnet)

Last Goodbye


I remember every “last” goodbye
And how my poor heart trembled at the sound
How my eyes would tear, they ran dry
How glas I'd be when you'd come back around

But then you said that this time, you meant it
At that very moment, I could have died
No matter how I tried to prevent it
It left a horrible feeling inside

These days there are only two things I know
For my broken heart there is just one cure
Right back to you is where I need to go
And believe me that much I know for sure

But all I can do is remember you
I remember when I didn't have to
