I Guess Im Not A Poet

Rating: 4.3


many poets i hear write about
the grass growing
the sky being blue
the rain falling down slowly on the windowpane
some write about the view on mountain tops
or the feel of sand between their toes
or the joy of a baby being born
i write the feeling i feel when i see you
about the love i feel for you
the tears my heart feels when you leave
the anger when you cheat
cheat on me, cheat on us
the pain of missing you
i write about you
i write about me
i write about us
so i guess im not a poet
im not a poet
