NASH’S POEMS
Words are my thing you know, my heart laid bare,
With words I should have spoken, the weight I couldn’t bear,
I’m sorry for the times I faltered and fell short,
For not standing up for you, for not holding your fort.
I should have acted, been your shield, your guide,
But fear held me back, and my feelings I tried to hide,
I should have stepped up, been the one to defend,
But I failed you then, my courage at its end.
I should have had the guts to speak my truth, my heart’s desire,
To tell you how I feel, to set our hearts on fire,
If I had been the one to say what needed to be said,
You wouldn’t have been hurt, your heart wouldn’t have bled.
I’m sorry for the pain you’ve endured, the tears you’ve shed,
For every night you suffered, alone in your bed,
I never want to see you hurt again, my dear,
I promise to stand with you, to chase away your fear.
Though I faltered in the past, I’m here to make amends,
To be your rock, your confidant, and your closest friend,
I’ll fight for you, protect you, with all that I possess,
Because you deserve nothing less.
So here’s my heartfelt sorry, my pledge to make it right,
To be the one you can count on, day and night,
I’m more sorry than words can say, my heart is yours to keep,
And I promise to be the one who’ll dry your tears when you weep.
You’re like a wildflower, spinning in the breeze,
The thunder fades away, you’re my fogy muse, at ease.
You’re the reason sailors sail, the reason heroes never flee,
Touches from your hands etched deep into me.
Your lips, oh, they’re sweet as honey, can’t deny,
Beneath the starry sky, like waves of the ocean so high.
Loving you, it burns, and the same time eyes turn wet.
Tequila, beer’s tartness, in a wonky cup we met.
I know I can’t bear the way your eyes pierce my soul,
Your smile erodes me whole, your love is my only goal.
Can you hear the rain?
As it dances on the window sill?
As it kisses the ground beneath your feet?
Can you smell it on the pavement?
Do I cross your dreams as you sleep?
Can you hear the rain?
Amid this storm, I stand in my despair,
Each drop that falls, a testament to love and care,
Can we find a way to mend what’s now laid bare?
I’m drowning in regret, like a river in full flow,
Battling with my demons, lost in the undertow,
But my love for you, pretty girl, continues to grow.
Can you hear the rain?
As it weeps with me, so clear?
As it mirrors all the pain I keep inside?
Can you taste it in my teardrops?
Do my sorrows in your heart reside?
Can you hear the rain?
Behind high walls, where shadows dwell,
A prison forged, a captive’s cell,
I built them tall, so none could find,
The pain within, my troubled mind.
Isolation, the only creed,
To be alone, to never need,
But you arrived, a burst of grace,
And broke the walls that hid my face.
Yet I couldn’t leave, bound in chains,
I tried in vain, but nothing gains,
I numbed myself, couldn’t feel a thing,
Can’t be alone, can’t stand my thoughts ring.
With every heartbeat, the walls extend,
Higher they rise, they never bend,
A paradox, this love we share,
A prison built by hearts laid bare.
I yearn for peace, to break the chain,
To find myself, to heal the pain,
You made me feel, now I’m aware,
It’s time to break free from the despair.
Behind high walls, no love can grow,
So now I seek a way to go,
Together we could find a path to light,
To tear down walls, and end our fight.
In my heart, there’s a hole, a deep divide,
A longing, a fire that won’t subside.
Nothing’s missing in my life, it’s true,
But I miss you all the time, heartache grew.
I overthink, can’t find a reason why,
I can’t stay away, no matter how I try.
Pouring water on this flame, I’ve tried,
But it won’t drown, won’t be denied.
Burned myself on your pretty face,
Too close to your warmth, I found my place.
In my heart, a burning blaze resides,
Whispering your name, in secret it confides.
I seek to forget, if only for a fleeting while,
Yet your memory sparks with each tender smile.
Give me a chance, I plea, I pray,
To forget you for just one day.
But every day, I run into your knife,
No matter how far, it’s you in my life.
I’ve burned myself in your embrace,
A painful love, I can’t erase.
I burn for you.
