Poems About Boys...

So these are a few of my poems....ones about my dad, one about a boy I knew when I was little, on about my best friend at home and one about my former best guy friend from camp...
1. I wish you
understood
I wish
There was a reason
I could want you to
be mine
to need me
I wish
you knew that
my friendships are different
stronger than most
I wish
you would stop beleiving
what the world says
this can work
remember
when we promised to
always be there
always be friends
we can have this too
I wish
you could remeber
I wish
you understood


2. you are in my blood
in my thoughts
in my heart
but im breaking it off
weaning myself from
your drama
the pain
its strange that
taking you away
is like taking away
a drug
i needed you
but i wont anymore
i need to be free
of my addiction

3. I still tremble
Like a leaf in the wind
When you walk by
One glance and I flash back
To the heart stopping
Vein popping anger
That made your fists fly
Missing my face
By inches in your rage
Leaving dents I had to hide
Leaving scars to excuse
And fear to deny
One glance and I flash back
To the heart throbbing
Soft whimpering me
Curled in the corner
Afraid to move
Cause you may find me
One glance and I flashback
To the heart wrenching
Forehead kissing you
Reminding me
Not to tell
Reminding me
It’s not your fault
You're sick and you love me


4. Somehow, his compassion
Got stuck going around
The loop of Henle
And his soul got
Tangled amongst
The nephrons
And capillaries
The meds don’t tell
If they gave him
A whole new identity
Or if they only
Reveal who he has
Always been
And it’s hard to tell
If the pain makes him yell
Or just provides
An excuse
To show his violent side
A vital part is missing
Now that he knows
Something fishy is up
Between the renal arteries
And the vena caba
And something strangely scary
Appeared when
Medulla, cortex, and pelvis
Decided not to cooperate
Who knew two
Excretory organs could
Change so much Or hurt so many?
