You Poems
People like you die young
by Bogdan Dragos
People like you die young, she said
You don't drink, don't
do drugs, eat healthy, rarely
go out, rarely meet new girls
But you keep on writing, boy, you
keep on writing
and that's enough to outweigh
all the above

If Only You Were Here... (Keep The Thought)
by Anisha Nyambe
If only you were here…
hold onto that thought and say
"I am here, " while your head is still in the clouds.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while all the stars surround you and conceal your scars.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while wanting is enough for me to live on.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"
while you're dancing in pointed shoes away from your world and mine.
Hold onto that thought and say, "I am here"

You!
by Michael R. Burch
These are poems about relationships, with lovers, family members, and a God (real or fictitious?)
You!
by Michael R. Burch
For thirty years You have not spoken to me;
I heard the dull hollow echo of silence
as though strange communion between us.

You
by Gautam Krishna
You are but one of many, who seek to see the dream,
Chasing the unknown, pressured by your own self esteem,
You are bound by nature, the rules wider than the seas,
An un-caged bird wanting to be set free,
Those stars that you can't count, and those you wish to be,
Those years that you look back, wondering "Oh, what might've been"
You exist
by Sabit Ince
YOU EXIST
I broke my repentance in my heart like a glass
If I had known, I would never have asked, I would have asked your name.
when i saw that face i became an idol
You are not tuned in songs, you are on the lips.
You offer me the sun in glasses like the moon,
please don't hide, turn your face to me
be mem in my glass, let me drink it to the blood,
You are on the earth, in the sky, on the moon, you are in the mountains.

Her
by Tom F
Her
Her in the waiting room that stands out for all the wrong reasons, but don’t worry she’s too tall to be. Her on the train with the big blue eyes that don’t sparkle like.
Her in the bar wearing the same perfume as. Her in a photo with a big colourful scarf that I know ’d love.
Her over there with the blonde hair that makes me double take just to make sure it’s not. Her at the concert dancing and singing like there’s no orrow. Her exploring and taking pictures just like used to do. Her in the cafe booking her next adventure away which is something she loves more than anything, just like.
My life revolves around her, cant you see? Everything.
I hate that I notice her all the time.
She will always be her, but never be, you.

You
by Nastasimir Franović
Your skin is moist like sand touched by the sea foam
Your lips are like two coves, wave like the sea of words.
Right in my ear.
You shameless and all that you said
How many times have you lied to me and I believed you?
I believed your every word and would listen more!
I wouldn't get tired because a lie comes off your lips so easily.
You will cheat and leave.
I will stay listening to the echo of your words.
It will ring from your lips like a shell pressed to the ear.
