A Really Long Question

Have you ever found someone
Not really found, they were always there
How about located
No, they weren't lost, at least you didn't know they were
Discovered, uncovered
Yes, I like that
Have you ever discovered someone
In perhaps an unlikely place or way
That you knew the person before
But not really knew them
And by talking and getting to know that person
You found yourself
And you would risk everything
To keep this person close
And maybe you didn't have a friend before
At least not really
And perhaps you were slowly falling
And you wanted to give up on things before you met this person
And they happened to come at just the right time
You didn't let anyone close, you were dying inside
But you trusted this person
And this person has pretty much saved you from yourself
Because they were so much like yourself
That they were able to help you?

Days

I think of what's to come
And what I've done
And it goes something like this

I had a home and a simple life
Didn't have much
At least not in the way of love
I was small back then, or at least that's what they say
I sure didn't feel young

That was what used to be
Before I had you and you had me
Back before I knew the right way
Back in those days

There was a story once told to me
That I keep with highest secrecy
And I don't know for certain
But I have a feeling that you might have been a little like me
A little lost without a clue

That was what used to be
Before I had you and you had me
Back before you knew the right way
Back in those days

But the future looks bright
As we talk night to night
And make plans and promise to not be like we were
And keep each other sure

That what we used to be
Isn't the future you and me
Now together we know the right way
Now in the together days

Loneliness

It's different when you're lonely
And no one is around
There are people in the house
But no one makes a sound

It's different when you're lonely
When there is nothing to do
Because that is when your problems
All come back to you

It's different when you're lonely
The problems have you trapped
And they surround you and consume you
Until your mind is wrapped

It's different when you're lonely
The problems don't stop there
They make their way to your heart
Your emotions to tear

It's different when you're lonely
You want to cry out in pain
But you know that you can't wake them
So silent you remain

It's different when you're lonely
And sleep never comes
And you wait for day to break
Feeling cold and numb

It's different when you're lonely
The sun finally rises
And you hope the coming day
Won't hold any lonely surprises

Creative Talking

This isn't really a poem, this is more like my creatively rambling on about something. Enjoy anyway.

Some people sing because its fun
Some because they are forced to
Yet others still because they have nothing to do
I sing for reasons entirely different
I sing when I am inspired
I sing when I need to escape
There is something nearly magical
About the fact that you can open your mouth
And let the music over take you
And empty your lungs and cleanse mind and body

Some people love because its cool
Because other people are doing it
I love because something inside me
Tells me that I have to
That if I don't, I won't survive
Sometimes I don't even think
My heart cares if the other person loves me
As long as I love that person it is happy
Other times it threatens to tear me apart
Piece by piece
If that person doesn't say they love me
I don't think it understands
I can't control other people
But despite this, I still keep it
What else is a person to do
