#ex poems on Hello Poetry

Petra Jul 29

If we were meant to walk different roads,
why was I led to this turn?
Still haunted by the past,
yet somehow, it’s the only thing pulling me forward.
Since we met, I’ve compared everyone to you.

They’re all made of glass.
I see right through them.
And no matter how long I look,
there’s nothing beneath the surface.

paranoia

Sometimes a "hello"
can be the beginning
of another 3 years of therapy
so I don't reply.

My Un-apologies

~I'm sorry
but not really
~I'll try harder
when I hurt you tomorrow.

The beast in my breast
is a glutton for revenge
it only stays close
to feed on your sorrow.

Oh how I hate you now
that you love me so much
way back when the tables were turned
you had me for lunch.

You cut my heart out
I lay like a pig on the dining room table
eyes wide open
your mouth even wider
when I heard that sickening crunch.

Now same as you I burn the next fool
who would have known
that it was going to be you.

now you beg for your life
and say that your sorry
but I've heard it all before
so I give you
My Un-apologies

You lay on the dining room table
eyes wide open
my mouth even wider
when you hear that delectable crunch.

Karma is a *****, but sometimes people are worse

i knew i'd burn

i was warned
i'd fall for you.
stay away from him,
they said.
sweetie, he’s bad news.

i laughed it off,
thinking i knew better,
thinking, that this time
would be different.

i always loved a challenge.

three months it took
for my mind
to catch up
with my heart.
by then,
you’d already
moved on.

this one is about the attraction my friends noticed long before I did.

silence speaks

I knew that you planned to leave,
after all my text were left unread,
And you'd stop calling me every night,
it spoke the word you were afraid to,
so I did for you,
asking you why,
what had gone wrong,
And if it was my fault,
but you apologized,
and said it was you,
not me,
which I knew was a lie,
but you just didn't have the heart,
to tell me what we both knew was true.

locks

All I ever did wrong,
was truly care about you too deeply,
thinking about you while listening to any love song,
I treated you like a key to finally being a human,
but I realize you never were the key,
instead you were the whole lock,
The law to the door that would have told me.

warmth in your skin

I miss your warmth,
but not only the physical warmth,
that boil under your skin,
like it was made to warm me in cool nights,
but the warm thing your smile,
in the words you spoke to me, too,
but I'm not supposed to miss your warmth,
since you are the one to catch me fire

Unhealed scars (TW)

My scars re-open,
Every time I hear your name,
I wish that they would just heal.

Mind Games

You told me you missed me,
but that was a lie,
because the only thing you missed,
was the ability to play with my mind.

Nose piercing

Do you ever look in the mirror,
and your eyes magnetize to the piercing,
on the right side of your nose,
and remind you,
that we got them together?
(i do.)
