A lesson
Soulless Feb 20
You keep getting in my face

Speaking of how I'm "such a disgrace"

But I have seen through you all this time

Because the person you hate...

Is the one who is trapped inside

You shy away from your face in the mirror

So full of anxiety and overwhelming fear

I am not a doll for you to project on

Take a look at me in introspection

Sit on your *** and let me speak

I'll teach you a lesson

Change your ways and do it fast

Because you reap what you sow

And this won't stay in the past

Is it?
Soulless Feb 19
Is it really

Depression

If you can acknowledge

That you're not ok?

Is it really

Denial

If you know why

It turned out this way?

Is it really

Anxiety

If you have a

Valid reason to worry?

no friends
Soulless Feb 19
What am I running away from?

And where am I going?

Beautiful flowers of hope are wilting...

As anxiety grows in its stead

After once again my parents tell me

Why I never have any friends.

Is it really my fault...?

They don't like the queer, autistic, seemingly optimistic

Secretly pessimistic "the meaning of life is to die"

Teen who is so quick to cry

So who cares if I have no friends?

I've had plenty of fake ones but

They never stayed in the end

So what if I have no friends?

I have my boyfriend he's enough..

So... why does it hurt...?

Why do I have no friends?

too loud
Soulless Feb 19
I can't hear my own voice...

It's too loud... too many people... too much noise

When was the last time I had peace?

How long ago did silence lull me to sleep?

I wish I may wish I might...

Remember the wish I made on that night...

And if I were to pass in my sleep...

I give my soul to the lord to keep...

What soul? What soul?

So long ago I bartered with the devil...

Soulless, broken, quiet in a loud room

The shadow in the corner

Of the party
Soulless Feb 19
My job... is to protect

Not to hope, not to love, not to feel..

Simply to sit and wait in the dark

..Until he needs me again

No, I will not say my name

We will never be friends

I was born to sit here

Until he needs me again

The woes of a protector

Are not things of which

I will ever complain

I simply bide my time

Until he needs me again

And if never again I am needed

I will simply fade away

But this silly teenager...

Needs me everyday

Fleur de soleil
Soulless Feb 19
Le ciel, le soleil, les étoiles…  
Aucun ne brille aussi fort que toi.  
Ton doux sourire emplit mon cœur de chaleur,  
Même aux jours les plus glacés de l’hiver.  

Ta beauté rivalise avec la fleur,  
Mais même la plus éclatante des roses s’efface devant toi.  
Je désire chérir ton amour  
Et t’épouser en ce jour.
From Echo; To Raith

the ice melted
Soulless Feb 18
The smallest, most meek, yet not the least,
My brothers faced your wrath, a furious beast—
Shielding me, their strength became my shield,
In your storm, their love was all they'd yield.

Though the world is cruel, bitter, and cold,
I know they'll stay with me, as we grow old.
As your icy rage begins to fade,
I smile at Jon’s grace, undismayed.

Flashes of light
Soulless Feb 18
Seen only through my sightless gaze,
The weight of your neglect and pain,
Averted fate, now lost in haze—
Your downfall, carved in sorrow’s chain.

Though young, my brother held great grace,
His wisdom far beyond his years.
At your farewell, none showed a trace—
Not a single tear fell through the years.

I recall the world through clearer eyes,
Though you took that light from me.
Flint, with his mind, not his might,
Was the one who set us free.

Beneath the Vine
Soulless Feb 17
In the dark of night, the moonlight gleams,
A woven net of shadows, tangled dreams.
The air is thick with fragrant wine,
And in my heart, desires entwine.

Beneath my skin, the pulse beats tight,
An ancient vine that twists in the night.
Olive branches bend with weight,
Heavy with words we never state.

Unspoken, they crawl within,
A fever that blooms beneath my skin.
Taste the salt, the sweat, the heat,
Where every thought and breath do meet.

Lips part with a trembling sigh,
Touching ink that whispers why.
I drink in your presence, drown in the sound,
As if your soul’s pulse can be found.

The air is velvet, soft and warm,
A breeze that dances, kissing the storm.
Magnolia blooms, creamy and pale,
Petals unfurl like a lover’s tale.

Longing is rooted, deep in my bones,
Hollows echo, like ancient stones.
I write in the silence, ink and wine,
Merging our hearts in a tangled line.

The sun bleeds a crimson kiss,
As desires burn with gentle bliss.
Inside, our bodies pulse and sway,
A rhythm that calls the night to stay.

We crawl together, beneath the vine,
A twist of love, so dark, divine.
A phrase, unspoken, but understood,
A soft, aching truth, forever good.

The night is long, the vine twists tight,
But in this love, we live tonight.

lyrical poem
Soulless Feb 17
Beneath the rain, I find my place,  
The world a blur of passing time,  
Maybe I’m lost, or maybe I’m free,  
In the silence where shadows climb.  

I reach for light that never fades,  
Through all the fear that fills my chest,  
The love we sought, the years we missed,  
Maybe in darkness, we find our rest.  

Hands will hold, hearts will soar,  
Through every battle, we endure,  
I feel your warmth, though miles apart,  
Maybe it’s love that heals the heart.  

Through all of this fight, we rise,  
In every tear, in every lie,  
I see you standing by my side,  
Upwards, we rise, our souls collide.  

Through the chaos, through the still,  
Maybe we’ll find a place to heal,  
But in the storm, you’re all I need,  
Together, we’re free, together, we breathe.  

And when the night is cold and long,  
I’ll find you in the fading dawn,  
Maybe we’ll be fine, maybe we’ll fall,  
But together, we will rise above it all.
Soulless Feb 17
I see you in the dark,
A shadow lost in time,
But your light calls me,
And I find the climb.

Through all the years we've missed,
And all the love we sought,
I reach for you in silence,
In every battle fought.

Your tears fall like the rain,
Washing all that’s past,
But still, your voice whispers,
A promise made to last.

I will stand beside you,
No matter where we go,
Through the quiet and the chaos,
Through every ebb and flow.

Rain and tears

Maybe we’ll be fine,  
Rain and tears meet in the night,  
Hands held through the storm.

We'll try
Soulless Feb 17
You say “maybe,” but I say “we’ll try,”  
Through the rain, through the pain, we’ll get by.  
I see your broken pieces, and still, I stay—  
Not to fix, but to love you along the way.  

In every “what if,” I’ll hold you near,  
Not for answers, but for love to clear  
The storm you carry, the doubt you fear—  
Together, we’ll stand, no need to disappear.
Feb 17 · 68
To E, From Niko
Soulless Feb 17
You’ve painted your heart with shades of rain and sorrow,  
A canvas so full of ache, I can hardly borrow  
The words to speak, yet still, I stand by your side,  
Wading through the currents where all our doubts collide.  

You say “maybe,” and I feel that hesitation deep,  
But I’m here, my love, to carry you through the steep.  
The rain falls for you, and I wish I could hold the storm,  
To shelter you from the cold, to keep you safe and warm.  

I’ve seen your fears, your losses—pieces of you strewn  
In fragments like puzzle pieces scattered beneath the moon.  
But love, I’ll pick them up, one by one, though we can't fix  
What time’s erased, or what hurts beneath the mix.  

You fear that maybe love's not made to last,  
But let me tell you, my dear, we have more than the past.  
Though we can’t control the threads fate might weave,  
I’ll stand with you, holding you, even when you grieve.  

If I must be the light in your rain-soaked night,  
I’ll be here, to make the darkness feel a little less tight.  
Maybe I can’t promise forever, or change the course of time,  
But with every step I take, I'll make you feel you’re mine.  

Even if we can’t remember what we once knew,  
I’ll love you, and in that love, we’ll make something new.  
For the second chance in February is not too far,  
It’s the present we hold, as we both heal our scars.  

So if your heart breaks into pieces again,  
Know I’ll be here, putting you back together, again and again.  
With each “maybe” and each “I don’t know,”  
I’ll show you we’ve got time, more than we’ll ever know.

E's poems
Soulless Feb 17
I just sat there..

Reading over my lover's poems with tears in my eyes

Reposting them because they're beautiful and deserve love

But crying because of all of the pain

As my heart breaks at every lost or depressed poem

Though you are one who's problems you never bemoan

So I have decided, always and forever, E's poems will be my favorite

I love you

Intertwined
Soulless Feb 17
Time rushes past—too quick to hold,
but I’d spend forever in your world.
Each second fades like falling rain,
yet with you, I’d lose time again.

The stars still shine, the winds still call,
but nothing matters, not at all—
except the way you say my name,
the way your love still soothes my pain.

Flowers bloom where graves remain,
love and loss both carved the same.
But if this life means holding you,
I’d suffer fate, I’d see it through.

Someday, when skies are warm and clear,
when lilies bloom and winds turn near,
you’ll find the love we left behind,
never lost—just intertwined.

I'll cherish them
Soulless Feb 17
I’m almost seventeen…

Next year, I’ll stand on the edge of time,
a senior, while he lingers behind.
Happy birthday to me—
one step further, one year more,
always just ahead of him.

Is this how Bella felt in Twilight,
watching the days slip through her fingers,
aging past the one she loved?

But if every birthday
is a moment spent with you,
then let the years come—
I’ll cherish them all,
so long as they belong to us.

Soulless Feb 17
I took a chance

Told you I was not perfect

And yet you love me

I told you my hopes and my fears

Scars and insecurities

But you still stayed here

I want your hand in mine til the end of time

And I heard Queer Time works differently..

Wonder if you'll ever marry me?
Queer time represents an asynchronous temporality, where aging and experience don't align with normative expectations.
Soulless Feb 17
Waving the white flag now

You've finally knocked me down

Too tired to stand up now

You're the king of the hill again

Whatever happened to being my friend

Locking my heart away and

Watching as the weather changes

Hope you can be happy now

I surrender

My vow
Soulless Feb 17
I hear so many lovers swear,
"I'd die for you,"—as if they dare.
But love like that, so light, so thin,
Is more a whisper than a vow within.

A promise spoken, easy to break,
A weight most hearts can never take.

But here and now, I swear to you—
Not just in words, but all I do:

I’d live for you, **** for you,
Laugh with you, cry with you.
I’d fight for you, break for you,
Give my soul, my self, for you.

Not just to die, but to endure—
My everything is yours.

And for those of us who’ve known the night,
That promise carries all its might.

you
Can you still see me

Standing in this dark room

Talking to the memory of you

Your hand is back in my hair

The love is still there

Just like you never left

But that is not my life

I couldn't sit pretty

To let you create a pretty lie

And now I'm here and for all I know..

You may have died.
Soulless Feb 6
Close my eyes

Take a hard look inside

Time to face my memories

I'm so scared of what I'll see

Shielding my eyes from images of sunbeams

Removing fake perceptions like lowly weeds

I need to see my past to get a future

One where you and me are together

So I'll let myself fall deep

Choking as old feelings take root inside me

But I'm not nearly done yet

For you I'll stare into the sun

I would lasso the moon

Just to see a smile from you
Soulless Jan 29
Sometimes I feel

I'm running out of time

Smiling but drowning in

Insecurity inside

Only with you, I don't have to hide

The only one in which

I confide

Complimenting everyone I meet

Actually meaning it is a rare feat

For I and all human beings

Are two sides of the same coin

What we show others and what we dont

Give me a hand
Soulless Jan 16
I am not perfect

I do not fit inside the box

For I decided to be the box

If I were a line I would not be straight

I do not believe in destiny;

Though I romanticize fate

My favorite animal may be a wolf;

Though I identify more with a cat or a fox

And everyone who knows me seems to like me alright

My boss always says I'm doing fine

But if I wasn't, would it be such a crime?

I try to do my best when I can

But there's only so much more I can stand...

Can someone give me a hand?

My loyalty

You've got it all

What else to you want from me?

Just watch me fall

Hello to the demon

Standing down the hall

The bane of my existence

Or the reason I'm here after all?

If I'm in trouble

Who should I call?

About love

Senseless

People tell me falling in love would be

Senseless

Saying it only leads to heartbreak and

Shame

Ruining friendships that'll never be the

Same

Why do people fall everyday?

Is there an unspoken rule saying that

It's ok

To finally choose to change
