You Are...
y i k e s Nov 2013
You're a disobedient dog.
You never listen and do whatever you want
despite the consequence
because frankly, you don't care

You're a ticking time bomb
one day
you'll explode
and erupt in a field of ashes
tiny embers being the last remains of yourself

You're a daisy
so eloquent and innocence  
but of course, everyone picks a daisy,
taking it away from it's home.

You're me.
and i am you
and we both hate
each other.

dear great friend of mine,

Alex.
Such a common name, yet you are far from a 'common' person to me.
you're everything good one can possess crumbled into one beautiful exterior.

you are the very peak of mount everest
something so many people try to reach, but always fail because it's too hard
one day though, the strong person will reach the top
and you'll find your perfect match

you are strong, beautiful, warm-hearten, and so ******* cuddly
i'm honored to be in your presence
i love you
i really love you

i'm so happy to know  you, really

well yeah, i can't end this but
i love you

oh so addictive
you're driving me

i'm changing because of you
i can feel myself changing everyday
becoming less and less of myself
and more and more of what you would like

this is all
                    because
                                         of
                                                      you

i'm going to enter rehab

New
If I could, I'd run away.
Start a brand new life as a brand new person.
I'd create a fake identity, and start all over.
Get a job, a cat, and a fancy apartment
Live up in a skyscraper so I can be in the air everyday.
Cleanse my mind of all things from the former existence.
Meet new people, new friends.
Just have a whole new life.
Become a brand new person
And just start all over.
If I could.

Daily Occurrences Bite.
y i k e s Mar 2014
When did you become a daily part of my life?

I wish I could erase you.
Lock you in a box and disregard the key, toss it in the trash.
Avoid you on the street, like an ex partner or an old pal.
I wish I could throw away your body, lock it in a car and drive it off a ledge.

I wish you wouldn't be a daily occurrence anymore.
It's not fair to me.
Or anyone else that has to deal with you.

If only they made erasers big enough for you.
i sure do hate math class.

I should probably delete your number, it would do me well

I should probably unfollow you on instagram, it would do me well.

I should probably unfriend you, it would do me well.

I should probably stop talking to you, it would do me well.

I should probably quit my job, it would do me well.

I should probably stay inside my house, it would do me well

But I think we all know by now, I don't like being well.

                                                      put down the phone
i dont need you like i thought i did. thank you.

//"put down the phone" seems a little condescending to me so I'd like to explain. more or less it's basically saying stop messaging the person you feel too attached to, it's okay to be alone

Come sit down with me, dear.
Would you like a glass of tea, or are you more of a coffee person?

Come sit down with me, dear.
Allow me to wrap a warm blanket around you so you can be warm and cozy, in my arms.

Come sit down with me, dear.
Tell me about those things that keep you awake at night.
Those things that haunt your dreams
those things that remains you everyday you're less and less who you want to be.

Come sit down with me, dear.
Shall we share a bite?
Maybe your favorite food.
Or something new
Shall that tickle your fancy?

Come sit down with me, dear.
In that big chair.
There in the corner
with the red velvet arm rests
in the dimly lit room
that is so opulent.

Come sit down with me, dear.
So I can let you know
that everything
and I mean everything
will be *alright

You said
you were over all the noise and she kept calling and texting
Those messages going unanswered

He laughed
Saying he understood and the same happened to him

I stayed put
Listening
And waiting
And waiting
For the perfect time to exit


Just like I am still
Waiting for an answer to my messages
You never like to reply

I am a hole in the atmosphere
pollinating the air
killing everyone and everything

I am a flea
attaching to your animals
causing them pain
making them whimper

I am a storm
pouring down on your house
blowing winds and ruining your plants
slowly destroying your beloved things

I am a failure
a human with no cause
a kid on the track to nowhere
an organism that has no purpose

I am myself

I oh so desperately wish to be noticed
i'm tried of being a shadow
lurking behind you

I wish to be shiny, like sliver in the sun
i wish to shine bright
like a bullet in a gun

I wish to be loud and heard
like an scream in a tunnel
I wish my voice could ring in the ears of many

I wish to be someone
anyone that isn't me

I no longer wish to be dim shadow lurking behind everyone silently
I wish to be a loud spontaneous light
exploding in front of everyone
like a firework
who's embers never fall back down

but that's been done a thousand times

i'd like to write a poem about how much i hate myself and feel emotionally dead
but that's been done a thousand times

i'd like to write a poem about how everything has been written about

I'm an onlooker
an observer
of your every move

I'm a storage unit
storing all the little things you say
so i can paint a picture of you in my mind
so that i don't have to talk to you

I'm a tree, rooting myself all around you
trying to pull you in
so you can become a part of me
because i'm no good with words
and i'm far from a trophy
or even a medal

I know you'll never be mine
so maybe you should go through the cell cycle
and create a daughter you
and be mine

Maybe I'll get some sleep then.

with a smile larger than a light year

not even Albert Einstein's ideas can compare to her thoughts

i know a girl
who i love to talk to
who's as understanding as a therapist
because she's able to comprehend everything.

i know a girl
who i am blessed to know
who i don't deserve to know
who i was lucky enough to befriend
who i am lucky enough to call my best friend
who i am lucky enough to even communicate to

i know a girl
who's undoubtedly far more amazing than
any celebrity or historical figure
or even a religious figure

because, she's herself.
and she better not change that
ever.
i love you alex.

and never will
don't you dare think that
you're one of a kind

don't be alarmed
when i'm gone
it's not your fault
you tried your best
i tried too little

you were good to me
i was bad to you
i was bad to everyone
i deserve my fate

i'm sorry i broke my promise
please don't hate me
don't shed a tear for me either
i'm not worth your golden output

remember that i love you
and i love the memories we shared
and the jokes we made
the worlds we created
and the worlds that never got to be visited

please still live on the memories i destroyed
they're meant to be shared
not just for us, but for the world we would have changed
the world that is in your hands
and is left for you to take on

you're strong and are able to do this
without me
without any burdens
because you're strong, brave, and powerful
everything i am not
and can never be

i love you
regardless of where my body lays

still in inhaling my jacket to get a scent of your cologne

because at night is when i'm at my worst
and you're too busy holding her purse

because you're her's for the night

The Cyle.
y i k e s Feb 2014
late at night is when the cycle begins.

waking up for a great dream, sweating begins.
sitting up, trying to deny whats happening always leads to a short run to the toilet.
after the adrenaline, my body can no longer take it.
which leads to bending down in a rush, flinging open the toilet.

puke. flush. puke. flush
repeat.

then after the self hatred slowly crawls in, the shaking begins.
the shaking gets worse, it's all such a blur.

and once that ends, i curl back into bed.
waiting for the cycle to start again.
i've been sick all week and i can't ******* take it.
