Poems

Nothing

What can you do when there’s nothing to do
 The sun shines bright and the sky so blue
 Yet sitting inside thinking of you
 It seems as so lately it’s all I can do
 When everything fails and nothing is new
 I sit and I wait until I can see you

Far

How many more moons until this feeling lifts
 Longing and yearning and still nothing fits
 It’s just like a puzzle and you’re the last piece
 What should I do to make this pain cease
 I look and I ponder of what I do miss
 It’s the feeling of whole, the feeling of bliss
 I write this here poem to remind you dear friend
 That even though we’re apart I’m with you ‘til the end

Friend

I just met you I know and you seem so shy
 What happened to you, I wonder why
 Soon enough though, we’ll be best of friends
 I help you as you do me and we’ll make amends
 I’m not here to harm you, just here to say
 I’m with you and I’ll love you every single day

See

Open my eyes so that I may see
 What exactly do you want of me
 What do I want is better to inquire
 Because as of yet nothing inspires
 What should I do to relieve this feeling
 Nothing to me feels appealing
 I do what I can to pass the time
 Get me to a point I’m feeling fine
 But I sit here alone feeling no purpose
 Give me something so I’m not feeling worthless
