A whisper in the leaves catches my ear,
And I stop, for though it's gentle, I fear.
I feel the warmth, feel my heart race,
Am I dying? I pick up my pace,
But it's still there behind me, still closing in fast,
I'm honestly not sure of how long I can last.

Hey guys. So, I have a new crush, and I decided to make a book dedicated specifically to love poems for that purpose. Write something that isn't depressing for a change. I hope you enjoy.

Note: Don't expect this to last long.

I Am Everything

82 parts Complete Mature

Excerpt: "I am everything: The autumn winds easing the leaves away from their branches, A baby's smile at daddy's funny face, The tears that seep into the soil at a funeral, A heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve. I am a hug: Offered only during times of sadness, Never given often enough. I am a mirror: Reflecting the moods of those in my surroundings Or the inanimate objects that remain once all have gone home. I am a microphone: Echoing the opinions of those around me, Telling the truths of all, but only being accepted by one. I am a shell: Full of the many memories of yesterday, Unable to grasp anything today. I am a skeleton: Stripped away of any feeling, After everyone has taken a piece. I am nothing: Not a firefighter, Thanked for saving the family pet. Not a lover, Dearly missed by her significant other. Not a role model, Written about for a second grader's project. Not a person at all; I am a simple cadaver, sliced up for answers to all of life's questions." ********************************************** An original poetry collection from the last decade of my life.
