My Poems - Tumblr Posts
If I am nothing to you, that's fine
Because nothing lasts forever
So I have forever to wait for you
All your tears are my fault
In those drops I'm the salt
I'm the reason Love is blind
Your wrong-body you had to find
But you know you had some part
When I only mirrored your heart
You are the kiss of death. Anything you had affection towards ends up dying
I am the undying. No matter how many times I died, i wont.
So kiss me until Time decides we can't be separated.
Dear Time,
I wish I was met with your gentle touch instead of being in the clutches of Pain. He always finds me first. I'm already twisted and turned. You can tell the difference in people. The ones you greet first and the ones that Pain finds first. Please, I'm reaching out. Find me first for once
Love me
Dear you,
I always found you first. You was just too calloused and bruised to feel my delicate touch. That's when Pain comes in. Making you change.. because you have to. It's not your fault and I'm sorry it has to be like this. You need to feel a soft touch for once then maybe you can feel mine. I want to grow with you more than Pain has grown with you. I know it isn't fair but someone has to live it. I know you can. Please, feel me first so you don't have to hurt anymore.
Love Time
The days of the week has become mundane without you
Your absence feels like Monday. The Feeling of dread
Text feels like Tuesday. Always gets me to the next day
Smile feels like Wednesday. I'm half way there
Voice feels Thursday because the only thing better is
Lips feels like Friday. I'm finally there
Embrace feels like Saturday, I'm truly lost in an escape
The alarm feels like Sunday. I know I'm about to leave
Then it would repeat
Sand castles
We built a castle with our hardships and tears
But it didn't matter
Because it was only made of sand
And it's high tide
I know the gods envy us mortals
Because we have something they don't
Our mortal will
We don't live forever and that's the beauty of us
To choose to love one for a lifetime
To suffer great loss
And we would do it all over again if we could
It was never about the sex. Just the after. Where it isn't possible for our bodies to touch anymore than they already are. But I'll try and pull you closer. Pushing into me as if our atoms could become one. Burying my face into your neck. Just how I bury my doubts. Into you.
Puzzle pieces
All this time you've wandered
All the love you let go
Has it once made you whole
Always stuck with two puzzle pieces
The beginning and end
Trying to make the in-between fit
Worlds away
I was never here to stay
And that's okay
Don't ever be afraid
I'll still find you world's away
The literary equivalent of a dumpster fire
Tongue of silver, quick of wit
Can’t seem to find
Words that fit
Holding a clean pen
And a fresh bottle of ink
An empty page is candle-lit
An aspiring poet
That can’t keep on form
Behind the desk they sit
Inside their lonely dorm
Throwing words on a page
Trying to make them stick
A fumbling dance
Of trial and error
Trying on epithets
Presenting them to the world
Shaking hands
Trembling voice
A stumbling game
Of anxiety and terror
Impatient for inspiration
Throwing phrases around
Rolling them on their tongue
Seeing how they feel in the mouth
Hoping to find something
To spark inspiration
The start of a story
Or the ending of one
How do you end a poem?
Hey, why does my mouth always taste like metal after we kiss?
Her hair was a flowing cherry red
Like the ichor she lacked
A heart that never bled
A hollow soul
From which tears were never shed
A beautiful monster
A creature in disguise
Making lives shatter
Good thing it takes
More than one bite
To become a creature like her
Sickly sweet words
Force fed poison
Scarred by her venom
Making limbs go numb
As I pulled away
I saw my flesh in her fangs
My life in her claws
My blood in her maw
Coating her lips and her grin
As my vigour wears thin
How lucky am I
As ironic as it seems
To already be something
Other than human
Curses can’t stack
I can’t believe that some stupid constellations stole my partner
Young wanderer, please tear your gaze from the sky
Look at me one last time, before I’m left behind
To wonder why I wasn’t enough
Why is it that the stars are your one true love?
You yearn for something always out of reach
What will it take to keep you here
Instead of searching for star formations
You are my light, my muse
The source of all my inspirations
Alas you are blinded by starlight
Summer evenings spent alone
Shooting stars taunting me
Young wanderer, please come home
I miss you dearly
I can see your stars so clearly
If only I was one of them
Creeping creatures, crowns of clover
Sleeping magic, forest’s blight
Creeping creatures stalk the night
Crowns of clover, hope in vane
The growing blight will be your bane
Whispered breath and watching eyes
Nowhere safe, nowhere to hide
I just wanted to write about werewolves (and it’s at least kinda okay, I think)
The moon’s beauty is no longer mine to see
Her face now causes only agony
When before, the silver light was soothing
If only that could last
Passing on the curse through flesh and fang
Wishing things could have stayed the same
Always caught on the line
Between monster and human
Never truly either
Wishing for the control and safety of one
Longing for the freedom of the other
Dreaming of having a companion who understands
Yet still hoping to never pass this life onward
Wax and wane
Comes the pain
Like the ocean waves
I too am driven by the moon
Celestial bodies in the sky
Hear my howl, my plea tonight
My voice warps, turned harsh and feral
As my body is shred and born anew
Under the unforgiving glow
My new form begins to grow
Ever searching
Seeking a companion who understands
I hear a lovely cacophony
Surely I’m not the only one
I add my lonely voice to theirs
So near and yet so far
And I hope
If I pretend I know what I’m doing, no one will notice, right?
I will fly into the sun
Until I must fall to the sea
Incandescent beast of failure
Like a moth drawn to crystal flame
I will run my wax wings into the ground
No one taught me how to make them real
So they fly safe and sound
While I am shedding feathers
Trying to keep up my stride
Sunlight and salt spray
Pull at my brain as I greet the sea
My best way to cope
Apparently
Is to write an overly dramatic poem
About being a burnt out gifted kid with adhd
Note to self: take your damn meds
Space is super gay and no one can convince me otherwise
Reflecting your light back to you
So you might see your own radiance
I am duller without you
Our eternal celestial dance
You are a star
A flaming ball of passion
I am caught in your orbit
Not asking for any attention
Maybe one day I’ll be enough
To shine in my own
But for now I’ll take the light you give me
And mimic your glow
I’m just a moon next to a goddess
Something something water coloured eyes… Is this anything?
Your slate blue eyes
I feel like I’m drowning in shallow water
A simple solution
Get up and walk away
I can’t
Every time I try
I slip back down again
Scraping my knees on harsh wet pavement
Ice on the walkway
An easily missed danger
Shallow water
I miss the days when I thought you were kind
But now I know it’s your fault
Not mine
You hid my rain-boots
Drowning in a puddle
Easily avoided
And yet I didn’t
I should have known your shallow gaze was a warning
The eyes are the window to the soul after all
I’m on the ground, you’re smiling as I choke on wet stone
Hey, getting hurt sucks actually, who would’ve thought?
Paper slicing ribbons from my hand
Blood flowing freely from my veins
I wrote a poem on the piece that cut me
Hoping to hide the stains
Like covering a carcass in flowers
Trying to hide the smell
Holding my hand close to my chest
Weeping over bruises like they’re stab wounds
Sore where I gnawed a hole in my flesh
Howling like an injured animal
Tears spill salt into the cracks
First aid was never my forte
It’s late so obviously it’s time to have some Big Feelings
Sometimes I am too loud
And I put my foot in my mouth
I say something stupid
Play it off as a joke, it’s okay
But there is one thing that I have always had trouble saying
I’m not sure when I last said “I love you”
I think it, easily, and I feel it
But I can never form the words in a way that others can know
I’m sure I could write it if I tried
But it never feels right
I think the last time I said it
Was as a closing statement to a phone call
But I don’t think it counts
It’s too quick, too perfunctory
Half the time it isn’t even heard
Said too late to matter
I don’t know why I have such trouble with it
I want to but I can’t
So I don’t
And it’s upsetting, to me alone, sure
But I have enough frustration
To make up for for their lack
There are plenty of ways to show love
To make it known
So I employ those instead
Actions often speak louder than words
But even still
Words can be plenty loud on their own
I call myself a poet
Someone who can paint with metaphors
Weave rhymes to make a tapestry of syllables
And yet three little words allude me
Stuck on the tip of my tongue
The edge of my pen
I’ll blame it on the autism
There's so many things I'd like to tell you. Maybe how I thought that this could finally be my 'good day'. Or how when you said that you missed me, my heart skipped a beat, because no one ever misses me. You're the first person who listened. Who understood. I loved you so much. I finally thought I could trust you. But now I'm sitting here bleeding from my chest. You left the door open when you took my heart. You never came back. I thought I could trust you, but I'm not sure anymore.
