After last night's drunken escapade I've decided to leave for a bit. Leave the requests for the poems. I will do all of them when I get back. I like the ideas given to me so far. Peace out to you all.

Love

I can make no promises
She spoke softly over coffee
The cigarette smoke lingered heavy

I am as confused as you
Her lips moved slowly
Casting out the spell

You understand don't you
Serious tone in her voice
Already knowing my answer

I'm just unsure of the future
Eyes darting nervously
Treading softly

This could be good
A smile briefly flashed
Her look softens

I just don't want expectations
A lie to herself and me
We all do this

My freedom is important
Only you can cage yourself my dear
In this reality we've illusioned for ourselves

So what are your thoughts on the matter
Ah so turn the table
Place this on me

Please just let me know you understand
What is there to understand
We know where this is going

Please just for once step outside you
I trapped myself in here years ago
The key got lost in a well

Can't you just let go and enjoy this
Joy is so trite
It is a fleeting fancy

For once just forget the past
Hard to forget what you know
Slip out of the mold

How can you know if you live like this
Walls are safe
They prevent attacks

I care a lot about you but I just don't know
What is there to know
There is just being

You've place too much faith in me
Is that so much to expect
And feel I should give you the same in return

I'll crack under the pressure
There is crazy glue in my pocket
I'll fix the leaks

I just need time to think
We have a lifetime
Why worry about it

Thats what I've been telling you
Maybe we say the same thing
The language just a barrier

If we are saying the same thing
I think we might be
Who is to know we aren't leading to more confusion

Maybe this could work
That could be the truth
Who is to say

I can make no promises
Is that a promise
Or will you falter
