Matt Young Poems

Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Is my life everything you thought it would turn out to be
Am I on the straight and narrow
Or do I stray like a broken arrow
...

Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm warped & twisted
...

Simple words come from complex feeling
Underneath this shell the truth reveling
How I feel you may never know
The truth is I don’t know how to let you go
...

I sit here quietly listening to a song
And I can hear you humming along
So much time has passed since we last met
I fear you may soon forget
...

As I lay here in the dark
I wait to feel your spark
My body’s lifeless on the floor
Waiting for you to come through that door
...

Lately it’s been hard to write
I think it’s because you’re out of sight
I’ve finally lost you, this time for good
So many things still left to say, I just wish I could
...

Something has gotten you down
From miles away I can see you frown
The world you live in is so unfair
And I know you feel like no one cares
...

Lately I've been drinking like there's a message in a bottle.
I can't help that it makes this life easier to swallow.
Imma take off in this like, no path left to follow.
If you ain't here for me your just as hollow.
