It has been a nothing day
With nothing people going on their way
There's no point to right now
So I think I'll just take a bow
My lungs hurt, my knees hurt
Amy's neighbor's name is Burt
I hate days like this when I'm just 'here'
And you get it in your head to leer
I just want to go space out
But supper's soon, so I cannot pout
Nothing helps not even the guitar
When I'm like this, it doesn't matter where you are
You were talking about dying today
The fact that I brought it up I won't say

It has been an everything day
With everything going wrong in it's everything way
When I saw you this morning I knew I was blessed
To have a guy like you to give my mind a rest
You stick with me when I'm down and out
You were there during that depression bout
I don't really mind it when you leer
Just let me know so I don't get a fear
That you want me this I know
That you love me helps my woes

It has been a nothing day
It's also been an everything day
With nothing people going on their way
With everything going wrong in it's everything way
I wish I knew
What I did
To get myself a guy like you

"Amy's neighbor's name is Burt"  lol
didn't mean to laugh there because I know it's not supposed to be funny, but the first time I read it I had to start over because I couldn't get that line out of my head.  I think that line actually reflects the type of mood you were in when you wrote this.  Nice job as usual.  Much enjoyed

Thanx for the comments, people I was just in a sort of... I don't know...I was just sort of existing when I wrote this.
~~~Jason- I couldn't find a word to rhyme with 'hurt', and I thought I was getting kind of depressing, so I stuck that thing about Burt in there  
Thanx again!

This was really interesting... I totally understand when you feel like you're just existing. Sometimes life is like that.
Nice Job...

Great poem! I could tell you couldn't find a word to rhyme with hurt. Rhyming isn't what poetry is all about, you can have lines that don't rhyme and have it be just as powerful. Maybe just keep that in mind next time? But overall I loved the end! =)

The poem was well written with a good theme.  I enjoyed it.
HiddenSparklez, I believe that rhyming adds a challenge to writing (as well as making it look much prettier).  It is easy to say something, but one reason to rhyme is so that you prevent yourself from going on and on with a sentence...  Rhyming also allows you to slow down and become analytical, relieving your tension if that is how you feel when writing.
Well, that's all for my small rant!  Just thought I would mention this.  Great poem!

simply amazing...So, how's Burt   lol.

I love hte way you wrote the poem.  It had my full attention.  One thing though, the reason why you have someone that makes you happy is because everyone deserves to be  

thanks for sharing
