Savlo De Santos Poems

This is one of my very first attempts on poetry, feel free to add some advice and correction. Since english is not my first language, I'm likely to make many mistakes, some of the irritant kind.

I don't wanna die, not yet
don't wanna be some empty jerk
I don't wanna end like this
nor to gain a new regret
...

God drew a picture of us both
he meant us to find each other
painted down with sweat and blood
to fight, to live for one another

as we had just watched the news
what is a hero made of?
Is it a man like me an you?
...

Here let me tell you
about my little friend,
she started a spark
and now burns me like hell
