here is my first performance at a competition: LTABFLA semi finals. i did pretty well for my first time with a score of 28.7/30! this particular poem is titled "blank canvas."

[my-elementality]

My averagely average love poem

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I didn't want to write a love poem

But I felt like I had to

As cliche as it sounds

I love you

This isn't a sob story or another broken heart

This is a love poem because it isn't

For once someone cared enough to handle my fragile being

To remember

No flash photography

No horseplay

Do not touch the art work

You were always so respectful

You listen when I talk but you also inturrupt me when I talk too much because honestly I know I can ramble and I know sometimes my head is in shambles

Sorry

Don't say sorry it's fine

I'm sorry for saying sorry too many times

This is not a sob story

This is a love poem

They say a picture is worth a thousand words

I don't know how many words this is but I know our picture is beautiful

It's probably chaotic

With inside jokes that we don't even understand anymore and blurred selfies when we were trying to take a picture but we were laughing too hard and your hand wouldn't stay still

And as much as I want to relate to the masses Im not strong enough to stand up here for 3 minutes crying about my past when I could be laughing and smiling knowing that I can look forward to seeing your face next to mine, as blurred as they are

Everyday I'm smiling and laughing because you are the one that always makes me smile

You are the one that helps me forget my misfortunes

You are the one that let's me make you smile and laugh everyday

Everyday with you would be a dream come true

Your light it shines through

My eyes

Even as you help me write this you say I was always better with my words

You say

Roses are red

Your eyes are blue

The one thing I love more than hockey is you

What should the theme of our wedding be?

I'm thinking baby blue because white is too mainstream

Or we could go full steryotype and dress in all black with our horns raised high

This won't be the death of your freedom

This is the birth of the rest of our lives

Do we want kids?

I mean, I don't know about you but i don't think I'll be a good mother

As much as I want to raise the angel our child will be I don't trust myself not to fail them

I don't wanna raise a kid if I can't give them the life of royalty they deserve

Royalty

How you treat me

How I treat you

Sometimes I wish our relationship wasnt so perfect

Yes we fight but I'm in love with you and you're in love with me

At the end of the day I say please

Don't stay up too late

Come to bed with me

When your arms are around me I don't feel like I'm suffocating

Unless you count the fact that you haven't showered today and let's be honest, you don't smell that great

But that's okay

Because I'm in love with you and you're in love with me

I am free

I'm not a caged animal like before

With a collar and a leash holding on to me more than they did

You are my freedom

You are my kingdom and I am your Queen

Promise me

I promise you

I do
