in depth look at poem: This is the second poem that I wrote for her. This is the one that I gave her first. I wrote it because I, well, I guess it's self explanatory enough.


your words

Beck your words are my teddy bear
I hold on to them and cherish every one
for when I’m in the dark, they’re my sun.
Beck I love talking to you because you care
even when everything is ruined, when life's unfair
even when I lose, when my best poem is but a pun.
you are there to cheer me up, make my dreary hour fun.

thank you for everything, for being there
when I’m feeling low, depressed, and sad.
thank you for the joy you bring to my dreary life.
you ease my burden and make it easier to bear the strife.
thank you for cheering me up when I feel bad.
thank you for helping me through the worst of my days,
and I hope I'll be able to help you in just as many ways.
