To tell people to not
Try to commit suicide
When It's my perfect plot
It's just a riptide

It's actually a beautiful noun
Though a dreadful verb
Like a stupid clown
Driving over a curb

There is no goal
It's all too unkind
Having no soul
And a dying mind

I wondered if I'd see you when
As I thought I missed you then

Poet's art

The poet:
Write about the sun
during the dark
then writes of the moon
in the afternoon
Writes on a blank page
'till that page's full

The poet:
Reads over his(her) words
as if they're chords
then sit in sorrow
and wonder
if he'll(she'll) write better tomorrow

No idea where this comes from, might have a good poem coming up

Starkeeper

Starkeeper

You're eyes glow with a sparkle more rare than the shine of pure emerald glittering in the warmth of the sun's rays.

You're hair rides the tides of the breeze like the waves on a beach flowing in the presence of you're beauty.

With a beauty that cannot be described by the way of words and that can only be upheld next to the pure heart that rests beating softly behind you're chest.

Seemingly controlled by you're smile I find myself with a grin whenever you enter my mind.

I ask that you observe these words from the heart as you would the star filled sky, for that is where they have come from.
From the heart and not from the mind.

I am the star keeper
That sees far and wide
For I see you
The brightest star in the sky

close friends

empty seas

close friends

i can never seem to keep close friends
they come and go
almost as fast as possible
so i latch on where i can
taking things faster than necessary

i just want to be loved
but no one ever loves me for long

i want a hug...
i just don’t think im a good person anymore
people who said they loved me and cared about me always leave, even when they promise
I just want a consistent friendship for once, but i don’t think anyone will ever like me enough for that to happen

Failed Love

Oct 2018 yv

She Writes

Failed Love

Our love
Was destined to fail
Instead of seeing me
For all the things I was
You saw me
For all the things I was not

It took me a long time to realize I was good enough all along.

empty seas

control + alt + delete

i went through
every poem
about her
and made them
disappear

maybe now
it'll be easier
to feel better
to feel free

i have no more poems
about the good times
for the bad times
outweighed them

i feel freer
although i am sad
my most popular poem
is gone

it is for the best
i am freer

if you noticed my number of poems drop down randomly in the past two days, that is because i deleted all my poems about my manipulative ex
i was going to leave them up as a testament to our time together (unsurprisingly, a lot of those poems were actually quite negative). I am usually unafraid of the past but my poems about her made me cringe whenever I saw them. I deleted them to make me feel better.

We are Lost

We are Lost

(This is a reverse poem)

We are lost
Our generation can no longer say
“Hope lives on”
This might be difficult to take in but
Your path has been laid out for you
It is foolish to say
“We are the writers of our own lives”
It is a standing fact that
The human soul is nothing but a machine that submits to order
It is a sin to believe
“The life we are given has a purpose”
Old
Will tell the
Young
A label defines who you are
It is foolish to declare
Dreams are forged to be fulfilled
This is a reality where
We can no longer have the life we desire
It is absurd to believe
In this world, you call home
Your Destiny is yours to control
Accept that
This world provides all but choice
You'd be deceiving yourself if you believed
“Go ahead and forge your own destiny”
The past has taught you to
“Submit to the future we are given”
You are only betraying your thoughts when you say
“There is a choice in our life”
Doubt that
It is foolish to
Choose your own path
Unless you decide to turn back

Don’t really know why I decided to write this. It all just came to me like a rush. And my hands started to write this without me thinking

A Reverse Poem

A Reverse Poem

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

My Best Friend

My best friend is just like me
We're both dead and cold as the sea
We both don't have a key to happiness
But that doesn't matter when it's him and me

Thanks, Kevon
