I Just Miss You
Like the summer breeze
it comes and goes,
but like the winter snow
it burns the rose
the one you once gave me.
I've held on to it
through my promiscuous, shameful nights
to my current relationship
just waiting for you
because you... We were going to deny the statistic.
What I didn't know
was the rose was fated to wilt
and I regret nothing thus far
but burdened with this guilt
it nibbles at my ear
then this... filth
drips through the valley of my chest.
Before I can tell my heart to stop
I know what it is
and my tears rinse this slob.

Like everyone else, I've gone through my hardships and I know there are more to come. I've lost friends whom were close to me, I've suffered with grades in school, and I have my own family issues. I used to write with a pessimistic perspective, as you'll see in my earlier writings, but people change with time. I don't want to view what has happened and what will happen through a dark haze. I now write with a more hopeful attitude despite if I'm sad or angry. By reading these, you're getting to know the inner me and though I encourage constructive criticism, for that reason, please be honest and kind. Thank you and, by the way, it's nice to meet you! ;)
