Everyone says I speak nonsense
Sorry
But it's the only language I speak
aslan Jan 2020
words keep spilling out of my mouth
adjectives, adverbs, nouns
but none of them seem to string together
in a way that makes sense

how sick and cruel is it
that the most honest poetry
only flows through my veins
when i am bleeding, both in the metaphorical sense
and in the literal one

distractions. they're what get us by. and yet, as i sit here, playing minecraft, sipping a homemade latte, writing poetry, listening to music- none of it works. all i can think of is you. how you made me a million whispered pinky promises, then washed them all away. how you made me feel safe, and then began to hurt me. how i let myself fall in love with you, and now, though you're with her, i can't stop. i've been trying to forget. but you're still here, i still see you every day. not just because we live together, but because you were - are - my everything.

There is art
In your heart
Painting pictures
When I lay
My head down on your chest

There are songs in your eyes
Singing lullabies
When you hover
Pin me down
With your stare

There is a poem
On the tip
Of your tongue
I taste it
When I kiss you

You are tortured
Stereotyped
My jaded lover
I hear it
When you won't talk

I know you miss me

no messages exchanged for months

I did wrong

I know you care

I made myself believe

you moved on

it's the truth

easily I knew

we don't see each other anymore

communication

I'm impatient

I'm all alone

you wait

you've moved on

I forgot everything we were

I forget of what it was like before

if you let me remember

I'll miss you again
