A Poem For Lost Nerve

by J James - Pisces

why should i even bother
i bet you'd rather 
some other cliche' to amuse you
the same mumbo-jumbo you refuse to
listen to is collecting dust on a shelf
somewhere in my heart 
a part of me wishes i didnt
say things like that
makes me wanna tip my hat 
and be on my way but i cant
pull myself away this time
you've been on my mind since
i got a mind of my own
i sit at home constantly 
and go honestly mad
all the fakes made true love a fad
that i wanna bring back like bellbottom pants
i glance at pictures of time well spent
coincidence is distant since it's your presence
i regret losing with every else
you gave me so much of
this is so far above my head
that you caught me redhanded
you have my heart branded
i'm torn apart 
scared to pieces
and all i can do is sit here
and my write my stupid poems that
you prolly wont even read
'cause my courage receeds
everytime i hear you even 
breathe in my direction
is there a minor detection of
love in my voice...
my mind has no choice
but to devote my time 
to this complicated rhyme
even though my words are simple
my feelings are 
far from avoidable
am i too gullible to think
you're listening when i talk 
caring when we walk or
is the glare from my
tiny love traces hurting my eyes 
too much to see that maybe
you just dont know where we are
if love is blind
we've walked into 
the wall of wake up calls
so get up and take the fall
with me sleepy head
