Star BG

With pen poised I loaded
my Baronet-like instrument,
aimed at opponent
shaped with armor of vellum.
Ammunition
of words and punctuation
filled with inks-powder
for accuracy aligns.
Three, Two, One,
FIRE.
Phases flies
across field of page.
No casualties today
only a flag remains of a poem
proving battle of prose was here.

my heartbreak in 10 words

I despise myself for not being someone you could love.

the first night you didn’t tell me you love me

The first night you didn’t tell me you love me,
I cried into my pillow,
Desperate to make no sound.
I cried myself to sleep,
Tears seeping into my dreams.
I cried in every thought,
Seeing you, touching you, hearing you in every room I tried to escape.
I cried when I woke up,
Because you were not next to me.
Because even if you were,
I love you,
And you do not love me.

quiet after the storm

it seems to me that the sky is sad,
heartbroken, perhaps,
grey without your colors.

she wails at night,
rumbles and shakes and cries,
alone and missing summer.

when morning comes,
and she feels your presence,
she is silent at the sight of her lover.

a lost cause

i wanted to share my life with you,
let you grasp onto my loosest knots -
tighten them close to your heart.
i wanted you to know my deepest feelings,
dive into my ocean of tangled thoughts
and maybe find what you were looking for.

but that is not what happened -
not at all.

you swam to the bottom of my sadness,
only to still not understand,
only to tell me that all i ever did was drown you.
only to say that you have given up -
that you don't know why you swam so far for me.

life (but he's a dude)

life wants to **** you
with a smile on his face.
you want to love him
but he's busy with so many others.
he is far away,
until he decides he wants to hurt you,
knock you to the ground
and make you stay there.
lie in the grass and grow with it,
look at the sky and feel just as blue,
watch a butterfly and fly away.
he thinks its beautiful,
the way you think.
you think he's beautiful,
him and the way he has chosen your fate.

if only

if only you knew
that my happiness starts with you.
if only I could show
that my love for you continues to grow.
if only i wasn't 8000 miles away
we'd be together until our hair turns gray.
if only you could understand
that I'd do anything to once again hold your hand.
if only you were willing to wait,
if only you believed that it is not too late.
