I found another BBM poem. I don't know why I hadn't posted it before. Oh, I know.
It's not as good as the other ones. Well it would be an incomplete set without it, so here you go.

For What It's Worth

I've never said "I love you."
You know the reason why.
But for what it's worth, I hope you know
Just why and when I cry.

I've never tried to claim you.
I'm happier when you're free.
But for what it's worth, I really think
You should belong to me.

I've never made a promise
That I didn't try to keep.
But for what it's worth, I'll break them all,
If you say you want me.

I've never stood in your path
Nor blocked from you your way.
But for what it's worth, I think its dumb
To live in guilt each day.

I've never hurt anyone.
Especially not you.
But for what it's worth, sometimes I think
That you can be so cruel.

I've never fought a battle,
Just tried to swim upstream.
But for what it's worth, I'd fight one.
If you were there with me.

I've never cried so often
As when I'm not with you.
But for what it's worth, I laugh aloud
When I hear you laugh too.

Why do we consume what we consume?
Why do we believe what we believe?
Why do we accept what we accept?
You have a body, a mind, and a soul.... You have a responsibility.

Hey Daniel ..

I haven't read through all the poems, but I love the "Sinking Island" poem!  :)
I think you should post the ones you posted over on my art thread here too..
Those were beautiful as well ..   :)
