Poem # 1

I just wanna stay single

Like you do

Slow music playing in the background

Like you do

Sitting on the phone with you

Hearing your voice for hours

Seeing as I can't get to you right now

I'll settle for something

Telling you something

Is better than nothing

Over and over again

Even though I know I want more

From you

I'll keep listening

Hearing your voice on my phone line

Till the sun rise in the morning

Till you get sleepy in the morning

Till your yawning and you hang up

Leaving me wanting

I'm trying to settle for something

Knowing something is better

Than how you once left me

With nothing

No trace

As to where you were

I'll be in love with a person this time

Instead of an after image

I'm Settling This Time ~ Sakari

Poem # 2

When can I really see you?

I want you bad

I wanna be beneath you

I want us to be sorry

I want us to feel like its alright

Convincing words

Blaming it on the champagne

Thinking both ways

Is it really bad, or is it okay

Telling me

You've got mixed emotions

Telling you

I've got strong emotions

Letting it be

As you let me

Letting me eat

As you try to breathe

This evening

I've got Eve

This evening

I don't have to leave

This EVEning ~ Sakari

Poem # 3

Eve, where did you come from?

Why are we at it like this again?

Off and on conversations

How do I keep finding you at whim

By chance do you secretly love me

But can't even say it

Taking me for granted

Knowing I'll always say it

Beautiful in a skin suit

I'll take you by the hand

And put you in my bed

Thinking of you

Like you used to think of me

Even if it's hardly now

I still dream about you

Barricaded In This Cycle ~ Sakari

Poem # 4

All the pet names...

All the attention...

I'm just trying to make you feel like...

Mine...

Blue Bird ~ Sakari

Poem # 5

I might not ever hear your laugh

I might not ever see you cry

Time has passed along

Though I remember, your favorite song

Champagne in your lap

Belaire Rare Rose

He may have your body

He may play his role

I have no one to hold

While my bed is cold

No matter who you date

How I feel, doesn't seem to get old

I might not ever know

What he gets from you

Seven years have passed

And he isn't through

I wanna guess your love

But I don't have a clue

You tell me

What I'm missing

Tell me what he has

Tell me what it takes

Tell me why I still

Feel like I need to wait

Seeing you in the light

While he lays with you at night

You tell me

How he's different

I Might Not Ever Know ~ Sakari

Poem # 6

Living life again

Like I'm twenty one

Searching for someone else's something

Like I'm twenty one

I'm stuck again

I've been lost so many times

That I sit down

And wait to be found

I might be chancing ~ Sakari

Poem # 7

You don't need everybody

That you think you need

All you need

Is what I need

I need you all to myself

Considering the fact

That I'm willing

To give you all of me

Or all that I can obtain

No strings attached

It can be an in the moment thing

If I caught you in the moment

Would you snap out of it

Or give in to me

Lights off with neither of us

Being able to see
