three for the price of one

a new day
the memories of yesterday sometimes sting my heart
but the idea of a tomorrow sooths my soul
with it brings the promise of a new beginning
a chance to fix regrets
and to make up for time lost
brings new promises, hopes, and fears
it means that the pain has been healed
and allows me to start over
allows me to vow that i wont let the next one
pay for the last ones mistakes
it keeps me going in order to make plans
the mystery of tomorrow allows for new things to bloom
and lets me be naive
and enjoy the innocence of a new day
the thought of tomorrow keeps me awake
to watch the sunrise
a sign that another chance has begun

untitled
whispers in the air surround me
though they give me the answers
i am left wondering
what is it that i am supposed to hear
questioning what is it that i am supposed to see
blinded to things often placed right in front of me
often looking for an ax to chop a through door
when opportunity has already knocked
and placed the keys to it in my hands
i often force myself to seek what is actually the unseekable
because it is not hiding
but clear as day
though given a compass to help me find my way
i still stand frozen feeling lost
because often i can't read the words
placed right in front of me

forgive me
please forgive me if a stare too long
its just that you have captivated me
in such a way that does not allow me
to see in one else in a crowded room
please forgive me if i stutter
it is just that you often leave me speechless
please forgive me if i turn away when i catch you staring
its just that when you look at me
my heart skips a triple beat
please forgive me if i listen more
and speak less
its just that i want to hang on your every word
please forgive me if i cover my face when you compliment me
its just that i do not want you to see me blush
please forgive me if i like to be near you
its just that your presence brightens my heart
