This is a poetry book I am starting inspired by my favorite poet on Wattpad, JoshuaBurton.

I hope you like it and I would appreciate any comments.

Unsatisfied:

I wish I could freeze time

And stay in one moment for forever

I wish I could spend eternity

Just looking into your eyes

But the rain washes these dreams away

As seconds and minutes then years fly by

And I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Because the universe never has been

So easily satisfied.

Broken Everything:

There's broken glass on my closet floor

But, I promise,

I don't need it anymore

I don't need the pain

To make me feel okay

I don't need the blood

To wash away my shame

All I need is your arms around me,

Because you're my new escape.

But, when I think about it,

If this is enough,

Maybe I don't need Anything.

Or maybe,

All I think I know is wrong;

In which case,

I need Everything.

If you're out there, tell me,

Is there such a thing as nothing?

Is there such a thing as being alone?
