there is indeed relief
in the bleeding words
of a cutting edge misery

there is indeed beauty
in a dying poetry
that gets to live another day

there is indeed meaning
in an empty paper:
a brevity poignant testament

there is indeed life
in every ending rhymes,
a killing soundtrack for past demise
melancholic poems
are just as golden as
poems about the sunshine

and poetry is not in those words we write,
but it is in reading back on it
and knowing that we survived

Poetry
Profound poetry
What does that mean?

Is it the surplus amount
of big words conjoined together
for a trade of a 'masterpiece' honouree?
Is it the simplest of words
drawn into each other
to paint such a beautiful imagery?
Or is it those blank spaces
that speak volume
about a person's well being?

Poetry
Profound poetry
What does that even mean?

silence could never calm
that of
which is maimed;
fairly to make heard of
the shattering
that would not mend.
5 years and every time i close my eyes it feels like i was back at that time again
Run

Run
You're the one running
yet I'm the one...
who's out of my breath
"and run, like you run from the law..."

I used to love you,
but not anymore.

Now I hate you
more than ever,
more than before.

How could you
take the life
that matter most to me,
away from me?

Shady goodbye, lie to me,
Pick out a fight, make me bleed.

Lock your feelings,
and put the keys
in tall places
I could never reach.

Forget me,
for a suffocating breathe.

Aspirin and a bridge
they were never a relief.
I thought you were
smarter than this.

Leave me to wear a halo,
to a place I could never follow.

Stay with me,
that was a promise.
But what is a promise,
if you can't keep it..?

Say you have nobody,
and now I lost a family.

Happy twenty-three,
hope you get your peace.
Sorry for this sudden weep,
I just miss you, sis.
I have a friend who deals with loss of her sister due to suicide, and last week was her sister's supposedly 23'rd birthday. I saw her gloomy and it was so devastating... she was so affected by it, and thus that's what inspired me to write this poem as I could feel how painful she is to live without her big sis. Sorry my english is bad

My laundry didn't fall off the clothesline
Today was windy and the sun shines
Cheers to small victories!

He is where my eyes fixated upon
like stellar of Sirius pending midnights
radiantly flickering but never to blind.

I think I just need a swim
let this feeling sinks in
down the surface underneath
where I could finally breathe

and here i am,
sitting on my own
eating the food i cook for two
just pretending that you went for a vacation...for a very long time

i am not the love of your life,
and so it seems
you are not the prince
to blithe charmings

i am the black cat
spawned from the fog
clawed you into the distorted,
into the black dog

In these lines I read you as lullaby
In these pages I wrote you in hindsight
In these details I exorcised evil lies
In these anthologies, this is where I hide
You're a better poet than me
You may never know
Hello Poetry.

Three letters you sent me
Paged my sorrow on the floor
"I love you,
but I don't want this anymore"
You don't want me anymore
"I love you"
I told you so,
I told you so...
You don't tell me things, you.
I'm an open book.
I tell you everything,
every ****,
embarrassing thing.

Even spoiled the end of our relationship.
I wished you were more open to me.
But I'm the one with problems.
I'm the one who needs comfort.
I'm the one who needs.
I want to be needed too.
I want to be the air that you breathe.

I dream of you
in colours you could never see
I talk about you
in language you could never speak
I think of you
in vision you could never imagine
but in changes
and in stagnant water,
I was wishing you'd be there too
in sparkles
and in dreary weather,
I was hoping you'd miss me too...
why do i even bother
izzn Jan 2021
i don't want to scare u off like that
but i'm too, scared of myself
there's a monster in bed
with growls i cant get out of my head

too sad to write

I may have faltered a zillionth times
my hurting and your peals of laughter,
weirdly they rhyme
but I will never admit defeat,
not to your depravity
and you call yourself
the king of undefeated rounds,
but honey, you're crowned with that title
but you're not as good as it sounds
remember when all my ounce of courage
finally coalesces?
knock out, worn out, hit you with a pound
guess what?
I finally won, let the world know,
LET IT OUT
there was an attempt :)

dedicated to Bon :D OH WAIT I FINALLY WON

disclaimer: everything is exaggerated here. given the context, it's REALLY hilarious
