Her side
Delyla Nunez Nov 2020
Same story, girl meets girl then girl turns into boy, April 6, 2020
Exciting changes, wondrous feelings, tremendous *** and so-called happiness.
  she remembers the way you’d hold her; the glint in your dark eyes as you’d kiss her, and her peaceful sleeps.
It would work out in their La La Land, she finally found the one who won’t hurt her because he is also broken and hurt.
Someone who would lift her from the ground after losing all hope that fateful day of April 8, 2018. To be cherished and wanted, with no judgement for her loss.

Lies, miscommunication, and distance July 08, 2020. Holes in walls, doors breaking down. Glass everywhere she looks, two rooms destroyed and looks of fear.
Alcohol is a killer and never to take lightly. Shoving and punches, knifes thrown and cuts on their bodies. This was the first time she left.

Cries of forgiveness, betrayal, distance, “please stay,” “I love you,” and apologizes.
Doubt crawled through her mind every time he spoke those three words. Him telling her how much she meant to him.
No amount of words could save her trust she had to rebuild, the love she gave during his times of destruction, the weakness she felt after that day.
Months of trying, never to satisfy her needs. Constant words of changes and no drive to do so. Being judged for her misfortune and never fully understood. Constantly crying, telling him what needed to be done.

A flick of the switch, morals clouding her mind, her self-worth pushing her out of dark, and her strength returned.
No remorse, no emotion, and no chance to speak again.
She’s gone from his world, leaving for the final time and not looking back.
Pretending to be fine when she cries in her room and is silent.

Now her pillow drips with her heartbreak, of her disappointment, and her dreams and hopes. she looks at his poems still, his glorious words put into words of his own accord.
she says there’s no evidence of their life, she lied. She goes through messages, photos, videos and cries.
No matter how hard she is trying she continues to try and she fails. she fails every time.
her “hate” driving her to be better without him. her fear of breaking down, keeps her away from him. He tells her he loves her still.. she breaks every time she doesn’t say it back.

With a snap of her fingers, she is back to the way she was. Her split feeling of hurt gone, emotions turned off for she can’t control them herself.

Eventually all become the strangers we never wanted.
Moving on is weird

I just wanted that piece back,
Where we did nothing but everything.
I loved the way you shined,
Everything was against you and I stood by.
Staying in your corner,
Silent cheers amongst the negative backlash.
Until you hurt me again,
This one hurt worse.
Which is strange to think,
Our breakup should’ve hurt,
It wasn’t.
It was knowing I was officially done,
Knowing we’d never get that chance.
All the smiles and laughs echo in my room,
Just thought at the end of the day it’s me and you.
I hate losing you over and over. This will be the last time I do.

Devil in Disguise
Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
Here you stand.
With the grace of the devil,
You put your arms around.
Peace yet vulnerability,
Wrapping your hands around my heart.
You keep me sane yet insane,
I cry and you come to my aid.
Truly mesmerized by your darkness,
Exploding into a tremendous universe.
Just for two.

Little and small
Delyla Nunez May 2022
Tiny handprints,
Yet your fingers have slipped,
without the hand that was holding yours,
I am now lost.

Tired
Delyla Nunez Jul 2021
I’m going to end up killing myself today.
Just for the soul factor of myself being tired.
Exhausted,
Low of any motivation.
I’m tired.
Tired of being strong,
Tired of acting,
Tired of being tired.
No matter what I do,
I am still tired.
174 · Mar 2022
Empty
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
It’s like breathing,
Only I don’t know how I’m breathing.
Everything seems dull,
Uninteresting,
Bleak.
I hate knowing you make me feel like this,
All because of lies, miscommunications,
And connections.
An unspeakable phenomenon that occurs to the few,
Yet everything can’t be as is and I destroy.
Losing everything to be constantly reminded,
Too many denominators to discuss one thing.
What I wanted,
What I was happy for,
But this is life.
173 · Mar 2022
Gone
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
No more calls,
No more inside jokes,
Birthdays and holidays are celebrated;
But you won’t be there.
Holding hands,
Sneaking kisses in the hallways,
Being kids;
But that won’t happen again.
Racing our vehicles,
Shadow boxing with your grandpa,
Your playful tackles;
But these memories are in the past.
Walking down the isle,
Building a home,
Having the one kid dreamt of;
But you won’t be there.
We are the same age today. Yet you’re not here to celebrate with us.. I love you and always will. Never had my mind not wandered off to you.. happy birthday scrub..

Your Loss
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
You could’ve kept me in your life,
You could’ve left it all as is.
Greedy and angry,
You run in my life only to destroy it.
Nevertheless you couldn’t be content,
Seeking and searching for something long gone.
I pity you no more,
I’ve seen enough.
So I shall continue to live as you sit in the dark,
I will thrive as you wish for more.
Moving on and wanting friendship is all I asked,
A wish even the Gods can’t grant.

Sad Accomplishment
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
You were the first person I thought of,
Your name in a new created message,
Of course I cancelled it anyways.
Gold was the goal,
I did it and you weren’t there…

Through My Eyes
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
The way you held yourself,
Your smile and warmth.
Too see you prosper,
Grow and conquer.
You are my everything,
Even after everything.
I can’t be a Queen,
Without my King by my side.
I love you,
Forever yours.
Just missing you so much rn..

Liar
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
Why do you tell me you love me,
When you didn’t.
Why say you’ll strive with me,
When you didn’t.
How come it’s always me,
When you did it.
I could tell you what is on my mind,
Then it is only your story.
Everything I’ve said is out,
Thrown like a rock on water.
Till I run out of skips,
And then i sink into the depths.
Once more.

Sensitive Subject
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
Carelessly gaming,
Laughs and jokes.
You were uncomfortable and I knew why,
Yet throughout the three days,
You grew worse.
Rather than continue a fight,
I shall succumb and give what’s needed,
So forgive me.
I cannot have this,
Nor can you,
It was designed as such.

Words Never Said..
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
When I promised you always,
I meant it.
When telling you that I’d always be here,
I meant it.
Our friendship was amazing and solid,
We meant it.
I couldn’t keep you in my life,
They meant it.
I was going to lose you because I can’t  choose,
I chose anyways.
I wanted my people in my life,
Little did I know you were my people too.
When I promised to always love you,
Friends or not,
I meant it
I’m sorry for what you think of me and I’m sorry for thinking things of you. We couldn’t be around even if we wanted it as much as life itself… keep going little rockstar -Mexican little foot.

I won’t sugar coat it,
He create a peace,
A Sanity is still made.
We were never meant to be more,
An attraction yes,
But we were meant as friends.
We laugh,
We rage,
And in the end it’s my fault.
I caused it,
Everything.
Now there’s nothing I can do.

Don’t Think Negative.
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
This feels stronger than before,
Which means the harder the fall.
Anxiety telling me it won’t be no different.
I try to push past it and sometimes I do.
Sometimes I don’t.

We know who was at fault for everything,
Me because i liked to start ****.
Which is true no doubt,
But now I’m terrified to mess up again.

I want this to be different so bad.
Hope is creeping around everywhere I turn,
But so does that small whisper once and while.

You think it’ll be different, but it won’t.

Merp..
now what can I think.
It’s scary, and I don’t want either of us too hurt.
We did enough of that.
I just hope I can overcome this..
Please let this time be different...

Strength
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
We rebuild when defeated,
It is our destiny to never quit.
To thrive on what is done,
And what is not done.
To grow and conquer,
What our forefathers couldn’t.
So we rebuild,
If we didn’t we’d be nothing.

Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
You made me complete,
You held my hand once more,
Put hands on my body like nothing before.
Bliss.
Yet you are now gone
There’s nothing left for us now.
I got lost again..
defeated.

Meeting you.
Delyla Nunez Jan 2024
When running to you,
everything is electric,
The sounds,
your touch,
the breeze.
As I run to you,
Without hesitation,
A sense of longing,
Safety,
Security.
While I run to you,
I remember how glad I was,
Happiness,
Loved.
Embraced by your arms of love,
And i remember once again,
How much I love running into you.

Friends Rather Than..
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
If I could turn back the clock,
I would’ve never met you.
If I could’ve opened both of your eyes,
I would’ve let you see only her.
Truth be told,
I had always knew,
It held me back.
I couldn’t love someone who still had there’s,
There soulmate.
Little did you both know,
I wished we ended things sooner.
Way sooner,
I wished she had left her relationship too.
At the end of the day I knew,
Yet we were all scared.
157 · Dec 2020
Almost.
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
You know,
You’re pretty believable.
I was starting to trust you again.
Crazy.

Crazy to think I almost fell for it again.
Almost thinking that it would be worth it.
Love conquers all right?  
Lies.

Could It Be?
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
Sitting alone at a table.
A pin on your hat to state yourself,
He/Him.
Our eyes had met and I knew,
I would be letting go finally.
I would be freed from horrid grasps,
Trifling ties of abuse of both sides.
He had saved me,
Just by sitting at table 33.

Years apart,
Although it’s been two,
And I am done with you.

Wished it wasn’t as is,
Yet I stand alone,
And you alone a distant memory.
Happy Anniversary.

Delyla Nunez May 2021

Lied to your face again.
And I will allow you to think of “how easy it is for me”
Because I deserve it.
I deserve the anger you have towards me.  
Or not.
I prefer not.
I can’t say that I love you because..
I slept with someone else.
I retaliated in a way that disgust me,
But that’s as it should be.

To stay stuck and horrid.

Every ounce of hope and regret is being pushed out of my mind.
We could never be.
Not with that hanging over my head.

You forgave me though.

I still can’t do it.
How could I?
With what I have done, I can’t excuse it.
I need to be here where I’m at.

I’m sorry I couldn’t be strong.
I know you wished for me to be the me you wanted.
I’m sorry I allowed myself to be engulfed by you again.

Your mere presence calms my soul.
I’m at peace,
But it’s wrong. I can’t accept it.
Too much has been done.
I’m so sorry..

Her Darkness
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
The sky is as dark as my heart.
I cause nothing but disaster and despair.
I don’t need help with being me down,
I do a good enough job as is.

The world is **** and I do no better.
All I ask is for pity.
A slap on the wrist.
Get out of jail free card.

Even with as low as I am,
I’d still never go back to you.
Ever.

I ruined you as you ruined me.
There’s nothing to take back, no way to fix it.
Just leave me be and I
Will leave you be.

Delyla Nunez Nov 2021
I used to speak out.
I screamed when not being heard.
I wanted love.
I wanted passion.
I wanted want.
I got love from one gone into the clouds.
I had passion from one who’d **** like I did.
I haven’t found someone to want me for me.
Maybe one day,
When I’m dead.

Stability.
Honesty.
Unconditional love.

Three simple things needed to survive this new found world.
An urgency everyone wants.
A partner.

Agreeing to disagree.
Knowing when enough is enough.
No escalation.
Peace and safety.

Alas these simple things aren’t so simple.
We tend to think selfishly rather than together.
How could you communicate if neither is listening.

Simply put.
You don’t.
Finding good ones in my drafts haha

Waiting.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2021
It’s days like this;
Where I need your comfort.
When I am defeated,
And I can’t keep standing.

I beg for you;
To save me from my turmoil.
You kept away the thoughts,
Held me to the skies.

I scream throughout my body;
Wishing for you to take me.
In the end,
Im still on a list.

Forever waiting.

I do not look at your art for remembrance,
I look at your art for your sanity.
One I couldn’t return to you,
As you couldn’t do to I.
Hoping you continue to be happy in life,
As I am doing in mine.
With the people who came through so suddenly,
Unexpected coincidences.
Your art tells your thoughts,
The lies you’ve been told,
The love thought shared between,
Lies you’ve made up,
Closure in Ones and Zeros.
I hope you continue on,
Stand the ground you walk on,
Complete the life you were meant to lead.
Keep moving on.
144 · Mar 2021
True?
Delyla Nunez Mar 2021
Stuck in love,
Lost in hopelessness.
Yet here you are,
Showing something stronger than I.

You say true love never stops;
A continuous cycle of positive and negative outcomes.
Frightened of the events that had occurred,
Yet here you are.

I haven’t a clue how to continue,
A calm conversation that’s never happened.
Even though my anxiety is shooting through the roof,
I give this conversation to you.

Even though I’m *******,
I’d still do anything for you..

Day 2 of Pride Month

Walking the streets,
Just you and I.
A tight grip on my hand,
As we crossed the roads.
Hand in hand it was suppose to be,
That had to end so suddenly.
137 · Jan 2021
Cruel
Delyla Nunez Jan 2021
Your intentions were like cold ice,
Except with a burning sensation going down my body.
A virus continuously attacking my soul, only to feed yours.

Sweet whispers of lies and broken promises.
The one manipulating was you and you forced your problems onto me.
Attacking my very life.

You never cared and I should’ve seen it coming.
Now I see you. What you truly are.
A monster.
Un diablo.

You’ll get what you deserve and I can’t wait to watch as you fall.
Thinking you’re a saint when in reality you are an archangel.
One of the fallen.
Forever will I regret giving myself to you.
137 · Jan 2022
Hate
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
I will always hate you,
Hating for the way it ended,
Hating the communication,
Hating being with you.
So much resentment for one person,
It’s fleeting and futile.
Gone is the sweetness,
For you all there will be is bitterness.
135 · Dec 2020
The Fool.
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
A sense of hope beginning to rise,
Just as quickly as the doubts that run through her mind.
Lost and frail,
Looking for a sense of peace that was once kept.
You are the King.
And as such,
A King always needs his jester.
A fool.
So she played the fool.

I’ve listed all I’ve done wrong,
I apologized for things out of control.

Yet I’m not doing enough.
I’m not loving enough,
I’m not patient enough,
I am nothing.
They were all right,
Till the very end.

Familiar
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
I found love three times,
Once with someone who was too late,
Another we held each other accountable,
But this one?
This one is the one meant for me,
One who wouldn’t use my past as a scapegoat.
One that was similar to what I had before abuse,
Thinking that was what I deserve as my ex had said.
I found what I was looking for;
Finally.

The final act of it all drawing to a close at last and freedom awaits.  
Feeling the air come back in my lungs as I stand in mind.
The spotlight slowly burning out, growing dimmer and dimmer.
But why?
My light should be brighter than ever yet,
It’s dark.
Everywhere I look is black and yet I feel contained?
But I was just about to be free..
what happened..?
At least no one can see me in the dark.

I Hope
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
I can’t wait for it. New opportunities and many more people to meet. To kiss new lips and not think about you.
Finding someone else.
Because I’m a ***** and my legs can spread so easily.


To think I almost let you get the best of me. Taking a hold of my heart once more and ripping it into pieces again.
But it’s okay I was already broken.

If you knew what you were talking about,
I wouldn’t hate you as much as I do now.
I’m so thankful for seeing the real you.
So glad that I didn’t fall into your game.

You must be pleased with yourself. You won and there’s nothing left.
And now this is the part where we go.
Build up again.
Grow again.
Trust again.
Love again.
We can wait or we can start.

You sat at the table in the bar.
I felt your eyes on me since you looked my way
And I into yours.

This is completely too good to be true,
You stole my heart in less than a month.
This time this is right.

Frustration.
There goes the Red Bull can to the wall.
Blankets are thrown off me.

To be someone else to you.
We cannot go back to how it was,
This is what acceptance is for me.
To live freely yet stably,
Without you on my side.
