roses I gave
my heart is broken
time is wasted
writing this poem

hold your breath
badtaste May 2019
you can't always fix
everything
even if it's meant to stay
broken
can you even reach
a heart
locked
in a glass case
destined
to crash
at the
depths
of the
ocean?

Innocence is Lost
badtaste May 2024
Innocence is Lost

The sun sinks low
Casting long shadows
A farewell to youth
As innocence departs

Fading like summer
Leaves changing color
Gone with the wind
Lost to the passage of time

But within this loss
A seed of wisdom
Planted in the heart
New growth from old wounds

Though innocence fades
Its memory lingers
In the beauty of scars
And the strength of the soul

We reunite together under this moonlight forever ourselves but never understood by the youth

on our anniversary
badtaste Apr 2019
she didn't notice I was awake last night
in our bed I heard her leave from the back
now I'm busy sweeping up all the glass
from a shattered heart she left me
happy anniversary
I'll be alright

who am I?
badtaste Apr 2019
the person writing poetry in the comments of poetry
for anyone to see
no one seems to address this

the enemy of my enemy is me
badtaste Apr 2019
you don't know how it feels
you're not here anymore
every morning mourning for him
to give you back to me

open casket
badtaste May 2019
I walked in through an endless door I never knew I’d know
a calm climatic state of inner calamity,  
walking ever so slow
more painful than a leisure stroll through a fire
but my body so cold and feet shuffle almost like through snow.
A self dramatic portrait of a moment
colors could never capture my emotional movement.
It never hit so hard
I never heard words leave so soon
did those words I even spoke?
How could I? When I was too red to breathe  
only air I swallowed kept my voice shut as smoke does
fire-emotional-exact
water-falling-returned
spirit-uncertain-end.
when my teacher passed away I wrote this I've been uncertain to even post this but maybe it will help me cope

true tale
badtaste Apr 2019
they hide laughing behind a bathroom stall
some scared some unaware
of the weirdest kid roaming the hall

nodding his head o so low
he remembers all that he said,
last night when he typed
all he could feel
on 8 little lines of all that is real

Again She is Gone

When the Universe Was Too Afraid to Lose You

I wept my love into you,
Bleeding my colors onto your soul.
Fair well

Mortal Aquarius
badtaste Apr 2019
The weight of the heavens lies on my shoulders,
and so I hold up the sky with no questions.
A piece of my soul is lost every time I pass you by,
not a second is lost in your life when you watch me die.

The two faced clover just turned a new red,
no one believes me when I confess all you’ve said.
Silence me and steep on my throat when you feel hurt,
truth buries you deep and your lies are the dirt.

My life is lonely since I lost who I can trust,
my love is spiteful since the last time we did touch.
I was born to be alone, rightful, and free.
I won’t let my foes watch as I turn into dust.

The weight of the heavens lies on my shoulders,
the inner light and darkness keep me somber.
I get lost dreaming of the sky,
I wait my lonely time until my kingdom comes by.

moving on
badtaste Apr 2019
all alone wouldn't call this freedom
memories make me die almost every evening

regret is a knife that cuts even
between my brain, heart, and lungs
hard to tell if I'm breathing-bleeding-dreaming

what would you do
if all of it was true
what would you say
if I couldn't give you the milky way

destiny is always a funny greeting
arrives on time when I'm leaving

outside my mind
badtaste Apr 2019
cannot answer the door if
I am locked outside my house
what it is like being crazy

horses in the sky
badtaste May 2019
I hear footsteps from the clouds
either god's feet or hooves from great spirits,
looking above from my dusty doorway I get lovesick
longing to see with these little eyes-
unworthy.

old friend

a patient walk alone at last
lead to running with my past

millennium emotions
badtaste Mar 2019
just a typical nobody
heart shaken from
a particular somebody
maybe I'm even mistaken
that see notices what's alive
since she always leaves feeling dead inside

with these glasses
badtaste Mar 2019
I might be blind to the truth
but at least I can see through your lies

Sir tet the sand man
badtaste Apr 2019
A never ending flow of change, the nature of things move from the place they were before

your house is built on the way it was before, but the present goes to the future and the world moves

A never ending flow of holes that you must plug each and every moment

The faster you fix your problems the faster new ones come at you

The more you know, the more you realize that it's actually the less you know.

The never ending path of flow, deeper and deeper into insanity

— The End —
