Free verse #2

       Music
Listening to you,
Is like 'Waking up in Vegas.'
Did you win anything?
Did you lose anything?
Do you even know who you are anymore?

Sounds to me your
Jar of hearts is
Singing. To get lost
'Cause you're such a jerk.

I mean, who do you think
You are? You can't just
Walk in with a smiling
Flower in your hand. And
BOOM, you're forgiven.
Life doesn't work that way Bob,
Oh no don't sob.

I never liked you anyways.
One day you're hot,
One day you're cold.
How do you change so quickly?

Who changes you?
I mean you're country,
Then rock, and pop.
Is it Carrie Underwood? Bruno Mars?

You're there when I'm down.
You're there when I'm up.
You're seriously the best thing
That has ever happened to me.

As unpredictable as you
Are, you are the best.
You understand me,
As good as Pandora, and
Better than most people;
To be honest.

You're my third best
Friend. No matter how
Crazy my stories are,
You always have the perfect
Song for me.
You're simple a friend
Called music.~

Blank verse

       Am I alone?
Do you feel alone?
Do I feel alone?
I don't even know what
I feel anymore.

How can such a
Big world, be so dark?
How can people be so
Cruel to such innocent
People?

What has the world come too?
What happens when
You don't feel wanted?
When you feel that no
One loves you?

Is that when you
Feel alone?
What does being alone
Feel like?
Do you ever feel
Like a ghost?
Just an invisible ghost?

Well what if I told you,
You're not alone.
What if I told you someone
Out there cares, but are just
Too shy to show it?

This world is just
Full of
'What Ifs.'

Haiku

      Summertime Sadness
Do you feel that breeze?
It is the sweet summer air,
filled with sweet ice cream dreams.

Elegy

      Heartbroken
She sat there, patiently waiting.
He walked in, and shocked her in a way.
She thought she knew him.
He sat down and finally noticed her.

They stared at each other.
They might have unconditional love.
But how? They had never actually talked.
Then it happened, he sat next to her.

He talked and talked to her.
The more they talked the more she like him.
He switched seats,
But never stopped talking to her.

The problem was he had to ask her out,
But he was rather shy on that subject.
So he never did.
He was instead set up with someone else.
Now she sits there;
Heartbroken.

Ode

        Ode to my bed
My bed,
With many covers
Dressed up like a Pink Cheetah.
Standing out of its base,
It build a small fort
Just to keep me safe.

Under the sheets
I simply am,
Just listening to my bed sing,
"I've got the eye of the tiger!"

I am indeed
Safe under his sheets;
Like a banana is with
A monkey.
He really was
As soft as a cloud.

Its skin stands out
Like a carrot with
A mustache.
I know I'm safe with him
Under his lovely sheets
Because I know he
Protects me like no one else.

That's why I
Will always love and
Cherish my something
Called a bed.

Ballad

       A Broken Road
This is a story set by
The sea. Seashells
Whistling, representing the
Lost love between the
Two lovers.

The waves letting out
The tears, the two
Lovers had been holding
Back for years now.

Crashing on the bay,
Just crashing on the
Sand the two lovers once
Walked on.

The sand stuck on the
Lovers just letting
Tension rise
Between the two.

The waves just trying
To cover the docks,
Causing unnecessary
Misunderstanding.

Because the waves can
Only go so far,
When the docks just
Stretch so low.

But at the end
Of the day,
the waves just rise higher and
higher because of the lousy moon.

Yet they never reach
The top just because
The two lovers weren't meant to be;
Now the Two Lovers walk on Broken Roads.~

Stream of Consciousness

      Thoughts
The more I'm awake,
The more I want it.
I think about it all day;
I have to wait all day for it anyways.

It's a pain,
But I just have to wait all day for it.
I just want to sleep.
I also want food.

Why am I always hungry now a days?
I don't like being hungry!
God this is weird.
Great, now I need to pee.
