My Poetry
If you read these, please tell me what you think. But be warned that they're generally emo.
Close Your Eyes and See
Are you listening?
Why then do you stare?
Can you hear with your eyes?
No, you'll only see my glare.

Why do you turn your head
To see what I have to say?
Close your eyes and listen
To who you shut out day-after-day.

Can wisdom be gained in a staring contest?
Can you learn by watching a wise man's lips?
Even touch shows more than sight,
So reach with your finger-tips.

A blind man sees more than you,
So what use to us are eyes?
They have perfect vision,
Or can't you realize?

All the colors that I see
Show how color-blind I am;
My glasses show me that sadly,
I'll never see until I ram.

The colors of the rainbow
Cannot compare to the colors of the heart.
Red to violet--so much they lack!
They only reflect the real art.

Your heart has eyes,
And they're stronger than you think.
Learn to open them,
And their glance can make a ship sink.

Blind faith is not so blind
When you open your true eyes.
Complicated theories scientists claim true,
But good eyes can see far past these lies.

Look past the glank wall of selfishness
And greed that a genius gave you;
See the truth behind the glass,
Tinted by your Earthly view.

Listen to what I have to say;
Make room in your mind for one last thing.
Hearing, smell, taste, touch, and sight fall short
Of what your heart says with a painful *ping*.

The strongest sense we never use,
Simply because its ways we do not understand.
But know that what I say is true,
Our sixth sense is on firm land.

Look inside yourself,
You know the truth.
It's unexplainable,
But does it need any proof?

The hole in your heart--
Only one thing can fill it.
And that one thing you treat
As an irritating zit.

You know what I'm talking about!
You can't stop me!
I'll shout it to the world!
Close your eyes and see!

I've tried so hard to save you...
I just can't let you be...
No matter how much you hurt me,
I just want you to see.

Now I try one last time...
Though I already know it won't work.
When I'm around you I feel a sense of failure.
I try to hide the things inside me that lurk.

You were my closest friend,
But were you a true friend?
You may as well have shot my arm
After what you say became a trend.

Being so close to you only brought pain.
I should've known--you're not the only one.
But I can't let this battle go;
Over your soul, which the darkness has won.

I wish I could help you,
But you won't let me.
I wish I could save you,
But only you can close your eyes and see.

One last thing I say...
I can't go back to when this was new...
Above all else hear this:
I'm sorry for what I didn't do.
