Reality Check
Andrew Gomez Jan 2021
My reality is trapped in a bottle.
I take out my glass and pour.
A shot is what I need.
Nothing more.

Another chance
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
You move on, forget and forgive...
You forget the pain they caused...
You forgive them for everything...
You forgive yourself for hurting them...
You forget your own damage you caused...
You move on toward the future...
If they decide to follow you, then let them...
Hold their hand and be happy together...
Hold their soul dear...
You damage it again that’s it...
They stepped in your life again...
Don’t take it for granted...
It might be the last time you see them...
Just remember everything falls in place for a reason...
I just hope you choose the right path...
Follow what calls to you...
Look with your heart...
Listen with your mind...
Feel with your soul...
Time is all we have...

Essay
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I was given a pen to write my story.
But little did I know, I was the ink.
Andrew Gomez Dec 2024
I ask the moon for guidance.
I toward the night sky.
Only to find stars above.
Glancing in pitch black.
A twinkle here and there.
I lay on my back in hopes of a shooting star.
So I can wish for you one more time.

Desire
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Always follow what your heart desires
It shouldn't matter what other people think
Your heart is all that matters to you
Put it through pain and suffering causes
Immense damage on yourself
Resulting in other ways of pain is useless
You can only cause pain to yourself if you
Let it happen
Push the negative aside and ride
With the flow the air has provided you with
The air will always guide you toward correction
Think of the air as "faith" or "destiny"
If it's meant to be it will happen
If not then the air will steer you correct
Follow your heart and not your thoughts
Never settle for average.

Cloudy
Andrew Gomez Feb 2020
Would you leave without telling me?
My own shadow doesn’t even follow me...
Just go ahead and walk away...
Stop dropping hints...
Take that first step...
Then I’ll take my last step...
I hope this pain ends...
I hope I end...

Proceed with YOUR Life
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
I'm tired of sitting here waiting.
For the day that I become someone.
When I'm already someone.
The night time sky calls to me.
I can feel the intuition of my calling.
Something that requires more of me.
I can feel it in my SOUL.
I'll reach out for it.
Just know that I will become what I want to be.
Not what other people think/want me to be.
I'll set an adventure so high that I won't come down.
The altitude I'm heading is on a different level.
I guess this is how Famous people feel.
They strive for that excellence and greatness.
I Will do so much because I am CAPABLE.
So are you!
Follow what YOU DESIRE!!
Not what other people think is good for you.
Just be TRUE and be YOU.
The only thing that stands in the way is you.
Go forth and take point to your life.
It'll be WORTH it.

Spread that love with everyone and let them know that they can achieve it.

Two peas in a pod
Andrew Gomez Sep 2024
You and I fit together so perfectly.
Like a puzzle.
You could pick us apart from any crowd and still find us staring into each other eyes.
Her soft skin melts in my hands.
I can feel her heartbeat when we hold hands.
Ba-***, Ba-***, Ba-***.
Her lips caress my cheek and leave bruises of love.
I paint her the world through my eyes.
She is a canvas, and I will be in muse of her beauty.
Exploding with colors that are not of this world.
Yet each spot is something I adore.

Without her time is lost
Andrew Gomez Sep 2024
If time was never real
then why do I feel lost?
When you aren't near
It feels as if I'm in an
Endless loop of lost and
Confusion but as soon as
You come back time is
Moving again like it
Should be...

Lifetime Journey
Andrew Gomez Jun 2024
I wish I was told by someone
That pain never ends
I wish I was told that love begins
I wish I told that we fall in the end
To alleviate this pain from under
So I can become stronger in life
Just to be turned into a puddle
Now that I'm here where to begin
To start somewhere new
And begin this journey once more
To find you in life and start again
I will look endlessly for you
Til this lifetime is over and then start again

All hail the Queen
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
My baby is my world.
She's the only one that keeps me grounded.
Her voice makes me stand still and quiet.
Just like water she fills my thirst.
I want to drink her daily.
She waters me like a plant and helps me grow.
When there are bad things growing she will trim.
I love the way she touches me.
Mentally.
Physically.
Spiritually.
She picked my crown up and dusted it off.
Her look has me stand at attention.
She calls me her king.
I will lay my life down for her like a king should.
She is my queen.
She rules the throne over us.
I answer to only her.
"My Queen? What is on the horizon for us?"
103 · Sep 2021
Everything
Andrew Gomez Sep 2021
I used to want you and only you.
Now I want everything back.
Everything I did for your useless love.
Every "I love you."
Every tear that fell.
Every smile that was given.
Every hug.
Every time we held hands.
Every kiss.
Everything.

How Far
Andrew Gomez Feb 2021
“How far are you willing to go?”
Someone asked me once.

“To the end of the world I suppose.”
Was my answer.

That’s what I’ve been doing since.

The Fall
Andrew Gomez Jun 2024
I remember everything before the fall
How I swayed in the air
How I have seen many nights and days
How I've seen many seasons come and go
I remember it all before the fall
Then one day it all changed when
I was no longer needed
I remember the sensation when I was dropped
All I could think of is how to get my way back
The fall felt like a million years but in mere
Seconds I was on the ground
Ready to begin anew

Dreams
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Dreams are like coma...
Except you can actually wake up...
Dreams make you feel different...
You feel the emotions that condone you to do things...
You give into them because it's a dream...
An alternate reality where you live...
This dream state is connected wildly...

Forever into my brain.

Seasons
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
I can't wait til the leaves fall...
The change in color...
The atmosphere lightens...
Walking alone to mend your mind...
That nice breeze while you hear the leaves...
You can smell that faint hint of rain...

Suppressed
Andrew Gomez Dec 2020
Will you accept my apology.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I dug a grave for your feelings.
I packed you away and hid you in an empty space.
Til this day it rattles my mind.
I chained you down when you should have been free.
Now look.
Ready to spread your wings like a beautiful butterfly.
I'm sorry.

Overdose
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
Seeping through my memories
Like a drug overdose
Foaming from my brain
Making me cry
Reminding me of constant pain
Reeling me in like the fiend I am
Love is what I call that drug
Love is an addiction. Take the right person to cure it.

Glance at Death
Andrew Gomez Aug 2024
I watched as death crept around every corner
Waiting to take someone's light
Death figured if it couldn't keep the light
Then why does everyone else have a chance
Slowly but surely the light starts to fade
-
"Such misery I bring before you."
"This turmoil you feel is death."
"It is I who bring closure to these ends."
"Yet no one reigns above me or below me."
"This void of a world you call home is decorated and plagued with too much light."
"It is my job to clean this distained burden and mine alone."
-
Death always follows close to those who burn bright
Look into my eyes and see that death has been around
-
"Your time will come, soon enough."

One last Goodbye

“Please answer dad.”

“I love you!”

One of a kind
Andrew Gomez Nov 2024
You say you want someone like me
Until I approach you, now it's not like that.
I can be the best me because there is no one else like me.
You want to be taken care of? Cool I got that.
But when I step up you don't rock that.
Ignore me and then I kick rocks.
You say you want someone who does the things I do.
But when I step up, I'm shot down like a bird.
You don't want someone like me.
You want someone who's more fine and slim with my heart.
It's impossible to find that because I'm one of one.

Thinking
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
“Who are you?”

“Could you answer that?”

“I'm nobody.”

“I answer to everyone.”

“I'm that little voice in your head.” 

“Some people call me a conscience...”

“I'm just simply you.”

Gloomy
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I walked outside and smelled the air.
That smell of faint rain excited me.
The clouds were grey and gloomy.
There was a little chill in the air.
Droplets started to fall.
One after another.
Soon there was a wall of rain in front of me.
Thats the most relaxed I've ever felt.

Runneth Over
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Your words caress my heart and soul...
The stars symbolize your very being...
I touch the ground with my knees in hopes of falling for you...
I take care of you like it's meant to be...
Like still water you're so calm and relaxed...
I see my reflection in your clear skies like a mirror...
My cup overflows with emotion...
No need for cleaning...
Let that dry land soak it up...
93 · Jun 2024
Same time
Andrew Gomez Jun 2024
No matter what the nature looks like
Its still really beautiful
The wind is damaging but also feels like freedom
The rain causes floods that are wrathful
But at the same time the rain
Feels so good against my skin
With each pitter patter it reminds
With each distinct sound that follows
Big drops little drops and small drops
All contain a way to bring life to this world
So when you ask about how I feel about you
I will tell you the same answer over and over
There's nothing that will change my mind from now until its over
I know I'm not a strong communicator but give me time
Things will change and I will learn how to be better for you
Change my mindset and set me free from this world to join yours
90 · Oct 2020
Alone
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
This loneliness is just bitter.
To cold for my heart to bear.
The freezing point that I can barely stand.
Freeze my soul and just leave me be.
In time someone will warm it back up.

I’m Sorry

I'm sorry that I wanted to be with you...
I'm sorry that I'm not like your exes...
I'm sorry I wanted to be better than that...
I'm sorry that I show so much emotion...
I'm sorry that I fell for you...
I'm sorry that I ask all these questions...
I'm sorry I couldn't be the person you wanted me to be...
I'm sorry that you feel the way you do...
I'm sorry for ending this journey...
I'm sorry for ending your suffering...
I'm sorry for ending your pain...
I'm sorry I couldn't be in your future...
I'm sorry I was in your present...
I'm sorry that I even exist...
I'm sorry because you wanted me to be...
I'm sorry because I loved you...
I'm sorry because I cared for you...
I'm sorry I did right by you...
I'm sorry I caught feelings for you...
I'm sorry I'm not enough for you...
I'm sorry I want attention all the time...
I'm sorry you met my family...
I'm sorry that you slept in the same bed with me...
I'm sorry we shared memories with each other...
If I could take it all back I would...
I'm sorry I met you...
I'm sorry I was less of a person...
I'm sorry I treated you right...
I'm sorry I helped you...
I'm sorry I pushed you..
I'm sorry I wanted you to do better...
I'm sorry I wanted to see you succeed...
I'm sorry for all the promises I made...
I'm sorry for just being me...
I'm sorry we won't be together...
I'm sorry we won't make any more memories...
I'm sorry that I took my life...
I'm sorry...

Trust and Faith
Andrew Gomez Dec 2020
I looked at her while tears fell from her face.
Droplets after droplets....
Her voice is tired and sore.
Her pain and agony is mine now.
Its my turn to water her.
Watch her grow and flourish.
By this time she'll need no one.
Only herself.

Thoughts Pt.1
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
Remembering you has my mind in a maze.
To the point where my vision becomes haze.
~
“It’s time to go.”
“Will it hurt?”
”Leaving never hurts”
~
It was the biggest lie I was told.
Leaving hurt more.
It always did.
Especially when it was “You”.
~
“I’ll be here with you.”
“Through laughs, fighting, crying etc”
~
You know the rest.
~
We said things that we meant.
Only now it just feels empty.
~
Well it’s history now.
That’s all we have.
No more memories or bonding.
~
I know you’re still out there.
Still thinking of me, because I do the same thing.
Ah hell. Who knows. Maybe you don’t.

Faded
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
To think about you is like a tattoo.
You forget you have memories.
You forget you have tattoos.
Eventually the memories fade.
Just like tattoos.
It's up to you if you want to touch them up.
Bring color back to them.
Do you.

Lifeless
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
What is this coldness I'm feeling...?
The last shutter of my breath drawing from my lungs...
The light fades away from me...
It came like a thief in the night...
So sudden but yet unexpected...
Its only goal is to steal what you hold dear...
Death is on the loose and picking victims...

'Til this day
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
'Til this day I wonder where I went wrong with you.
I hope our paths never cross again.
I've been hurting for months and I have no idea how long it will be.
Before I actually feel fine.
I've been killing myself with all this downtime.
Wondering about you and how you're doing.
This will be my last poem about you.
I lived to see 23 and I'm happy for that.
A year ago I had you.
This month in a couple of days.
This will sproute new memories.
For myself so I can see my life completely without you.
I wish I could turn into a door so you can walk in and see my life.
'Til you realize how many locks you have to go through just to open the door.
I've had so many people tell me just to let it go.
Even you said "it is what it is."
And you're right.
'Til this day.
It will be "it is what it is."
You even told me happy birthday and it was awkward for me.
You don't really care about me.
Nevermore should I care about you.
'Til this day.
We walk separate paths.
Shall it stay like that.
88 · Oct 2020
Shed no tears
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I learned being without you has left me in a state of peril.
To the point where I messaged you saying that miss you.
Over and over again.
I even told you that there was no point in me telling you that because you have moved on.
Its been pfft.
I forgot how many months now.
I've never cared about anyone more than you and I dont know why.
Oh well though.
It doesn't matter to anyone but me.

Back and Forth
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
What do you do when you lose someone...
You pick yourself up...
You dust off your knees when you fall...
You wipe the tears away...
You suppress the memories...
You forget their touch...
You forget their voice...
You forget the things they loved doing...
All that stuff I said doesn’t apply...
You’re going to miss them...
You wish you could forget...
You want to move on but can’t...
You cry every night...
You miss their touch...
You miss their voice...
You miss doing the things they loved...
When you miss it’s hard to forget...

Walk by Faith
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
Life at times may be hard but push through it...
Life will throw many obstacles at you...
Life will spit in your face and laugh at you...
Life will call you a coward and watch you suffer...
Faith is what I rely on...
Faith is the key to success...
Faith will overcome any obstacle that comes in the way...
Faith will clean you up and smile at you...
Faith will call you brave and let you know that you belong here...
Life will give up on you before you even try...
Faith will never give up on you even in desperate times...

Reminiscing/Forgetting
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I was looking at old pictures.
I asked myself the important question.
"Do I miss you?"
I sat and thought about it.
Scrolling through endless pictures.
I didn't feel the need to cry.
I didn't feel my heart sputter.
I didn't get the butterflies.
I didn't get anything.
I guess it finally ended.

Collapsed Star
Andrew Gomez Jul 2024
Another loss in front of my eyes
I feel as if a star exploded in my chest
I close in on myself until the void fills all
Just to be left empty but full
Time without you is all but my existence
I try to hold on yet I feel out of place
This feeling is heavy like a burden
Somehow we know what that feels like
Place your weight on me
And you'll see how much is lifted
I'll gather all my dues and pay the toll
Just to be bright one more time

We Fall. We Rise.
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
We reach our limit as soon as we fall...

I knew
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I should have walked away from you.
I knew it was ending when you said we were drifting apart.
I could have saved myself from this hurt.
That one night I had my chance.
I should have just got up and left.
Walked until my feet bled.
Maybe then my feelings would've died for you.
Now I'm just choking my life away.
Little by little.
Day by day.
Month by month.
My healing time is ******.

What is love?
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Love to me is between a rock and hard place
yea, i'm pretty sure i don't know what it is, but i give my best effort to try and explain it
love is dealing with someone else emotions
you try to understand what they're feeling
at times it may be hard, but eventually you'll understand
love to me is facing many consequences for the person that you like
people talk about love like they don't understand it
they say love in unconditional, but how can you understand
love can be of time, a place, an object, or something in the mind
love has to deal with everything, from the food that you make
to the feeling that you feel deep down inside
i'm not a poet, i don't say things just to make them rhyme
but this is what i know what love is
love is unscheduled
