Poems

Mar 4, 2011

Something in the scheme of the world is off
I can tell by the look in your eyes
The tilt of the axis is a little awry
And I wish I could tell you why

Things are different
Between us
Between them
I cant tell you when
Or if
I want this to end

I'm reluctant to admit
I wish now was back then
Even if I didn't have as many friends

I give you
What you need
To go out and be
And guess what
Babe
They like you more than they like me

not sure how i feel about this. its quite broken up, sometimes the stanzas feel almost like seperate poems
Mar 4, 2011

This isn't my life
This fake reality i'm living through
It isn't right
It isn't how it's supposed to be
Right now i live with you and me
I'm not lucky enough to say an "us" exists
Like it did in my life
But that's just on pause
For now i'm stuck in this fake reality
I can't wait to get back to life with you

not sure how i feel about this...dont think im a fan
Oct 16, 2010

You know just what to say
To ruin my whole fucking day
No chance you'd try to make me feel better

You really dont care

You wont even dare
To let your mind wander
In my direction
You'd rather drown yourself
In poison

written 10/16/10
crap just like everything else ive ever written
Oct 11, 2010

Things feel better
But probably not for long
I just want all of you
For all of me
Baby, is that so wrong?
I've become accustumed to you
And whats worse,
I need you too
But baby,
Is that so wrong?

written 10/11/10
i dont think im a huge fan, but i havent written in a little bit and it just came to my head so i figured id jot it down.
thoughts on it would be lovely.

Nothing's going right in my life
Things took a turn for the worse

The fact that I still love you
Or how you no longer love me
I dont know which is worse

When you were here
I loved my life
Everything was perfect

Now that you're gone
I've got nothing to live for

Nothing is worth it
Nothing i do feels right

I hate
The past because I hate
That things have changed

Someone preform a labodomy
I don't want to remember you and me
I used to be so happy
But now I'm just in pain
The comparison and change is a ridiculous thing
What does one do
When the one you love
Decides they dont want you?
What am I expected to do?

Things have changed
You dont feel the same
And you don't even wish you do
I guess im gonna have to relearn
How to live my life without you

written 10/12/10
its really choppy. i like it, but i wish it could go smoother.
any suggestions?

W
The corridor is empty
Walking foward
Empty
Stagering
In the dark moisture
Of the hallway
Humidity's a killer, they say
Well, who the fuck are they?
The ones who brought you here?
Haunted.

written 8/10/10
quite honestly i was completely stoned when i wrote this. i have no clue why i wrote "W" as the first line
i hate that i go from using no punctuation to to much.
critiqing would be greatly appreciated

Standing by the elevator
I gather my strength
Walk in
Try to make myself push the button
I need you near me
You don't want me there
The urgent knock on the door is strong
But I'm still here
Paused
In the elevator

written 8/11/10
there are things i like and dislike about this one
Oct 7, 2010

You fill me with all of me
You are
(Too little)
Of my past
You will be
(The focus of)
My future

written 8/11/10
i dont think i really like it that much
Oct 7, 2010

You were:
The begining of something new for me
Helped me out of my rut
My old routine
You are:
What I live for
Everything amazing in human form

The stinging reminders of you
Running horizontal
Across the length of my legs
The power of what you did to me
Showing up
Where no one can see

written 11/24/09
Oct 7, 2010

The tears running down my face
I don't understand
The things you do
Why you do them
What goes through your head
While all this is happening
I cant even think straight
My life now
Is me stairing at a wall
Blankly
Consumed by sadness
That you selflessly piled on to me

Monotony
Day in
Day out
Same thing
It is
My life on repeat
It is what my life has evolved to be
This is
My deadening
Monotony
