The Words You Don't Want To Hear

Your name is the loveliest word
I've ever said. In my life
I've never known someone like you.
Your aura is a quilt
that I could spend all day in
if you'd let me.
I think the chances of me meeting
another you are absurd
and I find the whole idea
to be terrifying.
I could make so much room
for you in my heart.

Mirage

You were there
In the closest vicinity
You were there
Looking only at me

You were there
Holding my hand tightly
You were there
Stroking my hair lightly

You were there
Loving me all the while
You were there
Always making me smile

You were there
Giving me hugs and kisses
You were there
When I'd think of burning bridges

You were there
Being witty and smart
You were there
Giving me all your heart

You were there
Declaring our love was true
You were there
Saying "I love you"

You were there
Wiping my tears away
You were there
Every single day

You were there
With your perfect gentlemanly visage
You were there
It was only just a mirage.

we are (not) parallel lines

i would do anything
to have your lips stutter my name
let your words grasp my hand
watch your eyes search for mine.

to wait for you is impossible yet divine
when we exist in places
so far from where we are destined.

we are parallel lines

i would do anything
for us to be a painting instead
i'd color you in hues of unrequited love
and put us on a frame
i'll give it to you and say

'keep it. keep us. keep me'

'why'

'because we are so much more than just parallel lines'

finally found the inspiration to write again. i believe sorrow brings out the poet in everyone.

Crumbled Grave

I was placed in a grave,
but I crawled out for you.

It wasn’t because you were
charming or handsome,
but how I felt as you spoke.

The flutter of my heart,
the laughter escaping me,
and I how I desperately wanted
to kiss you.

I reached out,
you were all I ever wanted,
but I reached too soon.

The ground crumbled around my feet,
and I was 6 feet under
my heart filled with despair.

his eyes

your eyes remind me
of a crystal clear
sea with waves
crashing every second

-A Name-

Something to call you by,
So that when you leave,
I'll know that I miss you
And I’ll see you in my dreams.
Something to remember,
A face I won’t forget,
And laughter in my memories,
Smiles to cause me torment.
Something to love
And despise till I know
Why you were here
And where you would go.
Something to write
In poetry or songs.
Maybe I’ll write you and me
In a sweet story long.

Something to share~
I wrote this long ago. It is a bittersweet feeling to notice that I keep going back to my old poems to find myself.

Not the One

The tide reels back from the shore,
as the water reflects the setting sun.
Grab what treasure while you can.
We've been here before but will never again,
for I am not the one.

Take it all in stride,
and run your hardest til the end.
Accept the ribbon but see no trophy.
At least we can still be friends.

Grind the gears until they quit.
One last trip before we're done.
I apologize for however many tears might be shed once you realize
that I am not the one.

Go forth into the future with dry eyes and a hardened heart;
Nipping love in the bud before it ever starts.
Steering clear of everything that even remotely resembles the foundations of a building that can one day be blown apart.
Living beneath a glass ceiling reinforced with steel beams that encase you in a state of untouchable mental well-being,
with only the moon and stars to console you and the occasional confused bird to keep you company;
To rot in a graveyard of memories filled with lovers still alive but dead to you, dead like the eyes that were once so full of hope and promise. Eyes that met their demise once upon a time on a beach long since gone.

Fate is the cruelest of beliefs.
I am not the one.

drift.

we haven't talked for a while
and i know it's my fault.
i see all your words and i always wonder.
are they about me?
or someone else that i don't see?
i don't want to waste your time.
you have your life and i have mine.
i know you probably don't miss me,
but i don't want us to drift.
i know it's all because of me
and i should just let you go.
but instead,
i want to call you up and talk about everything.
school,
shows,
movies,
everything.
do you want that too?
