Poem #2(Freestyle Poem) - "Funny How Things Work"

When I fall down, I look around to see if anyone saw it. I wonder if someone did, would they care enough to ask me if I'm okay or try to help me up. If they don't, I wont be mad at them, but if they laugh, then we have something in common. We both participated in my downfall. They would probably walk around or over me and tell someone about what happened. I only tripped and fell face first so I guess it's nothing too major to the world. If that same person that laughed at me turned the corner and was struck by a moving car, people would stop what they're doing and rush to his aid or call for help. I'm still on the ground and I can't feel my face, but the laughing man gets up and walks away from his ordeal as if nothing even happened. Not once did I hear someone chuckle at him but at the same time, no one called 9-1-1 for me. Is it my permanent paint job, my age or the way I look that made it to where I couldn't get the same treatment? It's a dirty world that we live in or I'm just still dreaming from last night. I think it's still funny how things work.

Poem #1 - "Knowing Love would End"

I used to think that you and I would last forever
I even believed that we would make it through ever never.
We were closer than closer just like a married pair
But never once did I think our love would end and my heart would tear.
You made plans to make me happy, and I you
I saw you as my ace, my road dog, my baby and my best friend too.
You even accepted my ego, my oddities and my personality
I also felt a strong urge to maybe make kids a possibility.
If not for you, I would have never met honest true love
I saw hope the day I was down when I saw that pretty white dove.
Your eyes told me everything about you I needed to know
But I still have to make the decision of whether I should stay or if I should go.
Until that time, I'll trust you with all 7 parts of my heart
Pride and joy doesn't mix
But I'll record every part of our relationship until we break apart.
Time is truly our enemy.
