joelle,

It’s been two year since I started dreaming of us
and we could both choke on how many poems I wrote to express
how much I love you
but remember
you remember
I never was supposed to...

you are the girl on a dirt bike
and you quickly became my favorite poem
but since the day we met you’ve been untouchable
fenced in by a rigid girlfriend...

...or maybe I just say it like that
because I like to pretend
I could have made you happy if we were
together.

now its sad we recently have been seperated by distance
so it was nice you found a train to visit
but when you had yourself that little fuckk
justtt for the hell of it
its my bad luck

I fell in love that moment.


now I cant help but wonder,
Is love a concept that is required to be active
or can you call a one night stand a lover?
can I appreciate the moment for what it is?
not feel like I have to recover.

I guess letting go is not that easy for me.
she was the first girl who ever got me thinking
“this is the kind of person I want to marry”
so It’s no wonder I was so quiet that day at Moxie’s
when you asked me,
“what’s wrong?”

I think you thought I was depressed
more like defeated.

I remember your disinterest towards marriage
but in my head I was pleading
what if’s....

silly kids
copy their parents.


Now I lay alone in my bed
and search for the lingering warmth of her body
in my mattress
the fading leftovers of us

our love

and the attempt to fake a happy ending.

OH MY.... .............

this hit a little too close to home for me ashes....crazy just crazy.....I going thru the same kinda drama with my girl and I could relate almost WORD for WORD on what you going thru.....sick man....."the fading leftovers of us"!?!?!?!?!....awww man....I love how you write...simple with a twist of abstract....like scattered thoughts organized in a letter form....written to noone and everyone.....very interesting style.....I'm glad you can back and I'm glad I read this makes me not feel so alone in dealing with my girl....that this kinda stuff does happen to other people too ya know....just how far can love take us before we submit to it and give in or never love again and turn off your heart to love?....I dont know....but that last line was the quote of the year for me....."attempt to fake a happy ending".....so true....hollywood is all bogus and celebrates switch their love lives changing with the seasons....in REALITY its not that easy....at least it never has been for me.....anyway you can see this poem has hit me pretty hard like you always seem to do.....stay up man

hit close to home there

Poems are beautiful, but these [love] poems are seriously working my nerves here. (jp) Still I read them anyway-

this right here set me off to thinking. Required to be active?<--umm shiiz I would've said yes but man that was a good one. I guess it depends. Just damn. I guess you take it how you can, bend the rules but not the ear. Keep writing, this is one of my favorites from you thus far.

-Much Love

... When I first came to the Realm, I didn't really like reading most of the peoples work here. Occasionally I'd read M~$'s.. and RealMS's, but I'd HATE replying.

But.. you.. man, your poems are so fucking vivid, it's like.. I don't want them to end. I read your poems like twice, just because your that fucking good.

"you are the girl on a dirt bike
and you quickly became my favorite poem"

I remember that.. I can't remember, but I think that was the one I loved a lot.

This poem reminds me of a, hm, Dashboard Confessional song... except a little bit darker. You'd be a good emo writer, for a band.

Dope poem man.. that's basically all I really had to say.

[Mind~$oul]

I could have sworn I replied to this already.

But before I get to the poem, I want to say that I love reading your work. You tell some of the best stories here in the realm. The way it reads, it just seems like you don't even try to attempt to come up with the "poem", it just comes...effortlessly.

Yeah man but wanting something you know you can never have isn't going to do anything but make you sick. And having a one night stand with that same person isn't good at all. But only if you can have that moment, I can't blame you for taking the chance.

One luv

Was this meant to be for me to be reading your poem?
I've been very similar to this situation...actually you speak apart of my life.
What the heck? That's really cool.

[MindKisses]

Your writing should be on a shelf in a bookstore somewhere . A friend just told me about this site and I've been impressed with the level of talent but , this one is defininitely my favorite .
