From a Fire Breathing Dragon

Are you ready for a big one?
Cause my thoughts are mile a minute
My head is spinning left and right
And I can't tell if that's a good thing
It means I finally am alive
After being dead so long
I'm sorry that I get like that
I just feel so wrong
I feel like I am hurting you
And don't tell me I'm not
I don't remind you that I love you
It's my fault you forgot
I feel like I am trapped
In this cage poet's call life
I feel like I am struggling
To tell you whats in my mind
It all comes out in one word answers
But, "I love you" is three words
I don't know how to get it out
Or how to be heard
What happens when you stop loving me?
What happens when you stop putting up with this?
What happens when you realize?
That you've had enough of my shit
What happens when I can't remind you?
What happens when you forget?
What happens when we loose site of the sun?
But it isn't burnt out yet
What happens when I can't get out?
Of my little metal cage
Some people call it writer's block
Or depression's obvious stage
If you are still reading
This has turned into a speech
Less and less a poem
I'm too tired to try to sleep
So I scrawl out another "I'm sorry"
And hope to God it counts
Because I love you more than ice cream
In you're sunshine I melt
I've been trying to say this so long
But I can't find the right words
To make you remember I love you
To stop this stupid hurt
The endless scrawl of a depressive self
The you'll forget in time
The slowed down drawl of a depressive self
Slowed down, then rewind
Rewind to the beginning
Where you better off before?
I don't think I'm your prince charming
But I think I love you more
I'm banging on these iron bars
Trying to break down the door
Trying to find the line in this poem
That makes it worth writing more
I want to be able to tell you
What goes on in my heart
Show you how passionate I can be
But I don't posses that art
I wish I could break down the iron bars
We could be like that fairy tale
That happily ever after
I'll break down these iron bars
Knight in shining armour
I'll escape from the dungeon
And I'll save you from the jaws
Of a fire breathing dragon
I'll take you to a castle
Fight off a hundred men
Save the kingdom form the villain
Who tries to hurt you again
I'll carry you up the stairs
To the tallest tower
I'll write you love poems every day
And we'll live happily ever after
We'll be the greatest fairy tale
Disney's never even seen
No more dragons or bad guys
No monsters or evil queens
Just you and me in a castle
Away from Iron bars
I'll kiss you like prince charming
With a tower's view of stars
They'll make us into a movie
For me, a sexy actor
I'll write you love poems every day
Happily ever after

    This is one ofe most emotional things you've ever written, jesse. it's just...you could tell you were just dying to say it and it wasn't coming out and then it was just like..woosh and it worked. it's just...one of those pieces that's more raw than the others but it's great anyway.
