Indeed
remember that day ?
         you said you were at home
           but I saw you at the club
           and you weren't alone.

               you held her close
             you kissed her neck
     I was yours ; what the heck ?

          I wanted to punch you
           and slap on your head
            at that time I wished
.                you were dead.

         the wound is now healing
          but the scars will remain
             how do I continue ?
          and feel the the same.

                      should I go ?
                 or should I stay ?
            as I'll always wonder
         what happened that day.

     will only memories of feelings
         that have been torn away
           how do I close my eyes
                 to fact that your
      loyalty has thrown me away.

   you are a person who has an hole
                 inside your soul
        with all ***** lies told.

      even my neighborhood aunties
            are more loyal than you
           so I wish your black cold
            icy heart breaks in two.

I with every ounce of me love you
I wear my heart on my sleeve,
Your antidote, when the world infects your emotions, leave it diseased
A comforter, snuggled
So at night  soundly you sleep
Like the notion of death, I stand beside you
I will never ever leave,

Your side

As our enchanted souls constantly confess
Your love is all mine
Our love godly, you my living shrine
Your kisses honey-sweet, my queen
The sun envious, even it you outshine.

My confession,

I think you are divine
A taste from heaven,
You give my confidence wings, above the chaos It fly's

Above the choas, we rise
Hand in hand, hearts beating as one
Our Eyes,
Windows to our souls
The truth forever revealed
As we ascend to the sky's
These words that pour from my heart
You are the beat of it
So only in death we will part

Toddlers can put green crayons in the freezer without
Anybody questioning them and I
Have a problem with that.
I have a problem with the fact that toddlers can put
Green crayons in the freezer and tell their parents that they are
Preserving
The Earth and that they’ve been learning about
Animal adaptations and conjunctions in school
And that they
Love
Their friends.
I have a problem with the fact that a
Toddler’s idea of
Beauty
Is a butterfly landing on their finger during
Recess, a snowflake on their tongue, the
Grogginess of  staying up past 8:30,
****** snacks, Dora the Explorer,
The satisfaction of scraping the
First chunk out of a tub of butter, the
Giddiness and fear at your first sleepover,
The one where you had to timidly shake your
Friend awake in the middle of the night because you could
Not for the
Life of you find the bathroom.
I’m not ashamed to admit that
I haven’t said I love you in a time that
Lingers like the smell of burning.
It’s always love you or love ya and I’ve
Forgotten what it feels like for those words to
Caress my lips, to guide my heart
Out of its cage into the
Stale air.
I want to be considering beauty like a
Toddler.  I want to be watching Dora and
Learning about conjunctions, but instead I’m
Crying because I can’t fit into my jeans right and I
Don’t know how to do makeup.  I want to say
I love you and let it
Ring in the air like
Frozen music
But I can’t
Because you’re
States away and instead I brush my hair
So many times for people who don’t even like me that
There’s no personality left.
I have a problem with the fact that you
Moved on so quickly and left me with the
Loves me not flower petal and that
Dora the Explorer is not on Netflix
Anymore and the price of Happy Meals goes
Up everyday like the age of my
Heart  
And that
Toddlers can put green crayons in the freezer without
Anybody questioning them and say that
They
Are preserving the Earth.
This is an imitation of Bob Hicok's poem "Whither Thou Goest" that I did in my poetry class.  As always, please leave your thoughts! :) <3
A mere phantom of life
Silent and miserable
Waves as people walk by,
Yells 'I'm here, invisible!'

It doesn't know they don't see
It doesn't know they can't hear
It shouts till its throat is sore,
Then finds solace in fear.

"Conceal, don't feel, keep it in"
"Hide", they all seem to say,
Aching behind pride in pain
Lost, trying to find their way.

Will they ever listen?
Will they stop to understand?
Will anyone look further
Maybe even lend a hand?
