To Purple:
Sabrina Sep 2015
Well,
things didn't work out like I thought they would
if you had tried harder, maybe they could
but for once in this world, it wasn't on me
you could have had me but you didn't see
how special I am and how I could love
every little thing about you and place you above
all the things that I imagined and deserve
but it's your loss, now my heart's on reserve
for the special guy who makes me smile
unlike someone like you who wouldn't go the extra mile
I'm really sorry that you  missed out
I hope this was worth all your doubt.
*Update: I liked a guy. I thought he liked me. Oops. I was wrong. ***** for him.

Drowning in a Sea of Love
Sabrina Aug 2015
We were swimming in an ocean of love
You made me feel so weightless
but then I got caught in the current
You did nothing; you just watched me struggle
That's when I realized the current had no effect
and that you had been the one drowning me
from the beginning.

Mixed Signals?
Sabrina Aug 2015
I don't understand how to feel
I don't get what is your deal
I thought things were going well
I guess I was just too blind to tell
Maybe I am overthinking things
Was this just a high school fling
Maybe tomorrow things will change
This whole event has just been strange
Was I getting mixed signals
With someone like you I guess I’d figure
Well I can only hope that I am wrong
But only for you will my heart long.
And oh how wrong I hope to be.

You Keep Me Up
Sabrina Aug 2015
I really like you
don’t get me wrong
I always smile
when I hear our song
But, oh my God
you’re in my head
You’re my last thought
at night in bed
I never was
quite the same
After I learned
your name
Something about it
just made me smile
Our memories
are worthwhile
But I mean, really
come on
I can’t imagine life
with you gone
Sure, I’d like to sleep
at night
But thoughts of you
cause such a sight
I’m always up
thinking of you
And how much
my love had grew
For a silly boy
with blue eyes
Falling in love
was no surprise.

Purple
Sabrina Aug 2015
Isn't it funny how a word or two
could make me fall in love with you
You're all I ever think about
I am no longer filled with doubt
I think you are the one for me
I hope this is meant to be
I hope this lasts for quite a while
I couldn't go without your smile.
throwback to when we
named our crushes
inanimate objects
and adjectives.

Crushing (PT.2)
Sabrina Aug 2015
I can’t believe I went through
With actually talking to you

I was so nervous and terrified
But I am so glad that I tried

It went so well and I’m so glad
If it hadn’t, I’d be so sad

Your smile just drives me nuts
Before today, you seemed so tough

A bit intimidating might I add
Not too much, but just a tad

The way that you looked at me
Made my fears seem silly

You are so sweet and so kind
No wonder you’re always on my mind

I hope we have something real
So far that is what I feel.
Aug 2015 · 268
Crushing (PT.1)
Sabrina Aug 2015
I may not know you very well
but I know you like me, I can tell

To think that just a few days in
you’ve got me with this foolish grin

upon my face because of you
all these feelings are kind of new

I didn’t expect to fall so fast
Will these feelings always last

All of these stolen glances
I don’t need to waste my chances

C’mon, Self, you can do it
You’ve come so far just to quit

Just walk up to him and say hi
Everything else will just fly by

Put your heart out on the line
And pray that everything goes fine.

Titanica
Sabrina Aug 2015
I am a sinking ship
I've hit the iceberg
not just the tip
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
I'm crashing down
I've lost my grip
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
All hope is lost
there it slips
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
we've reached the end
of our trip
I am a sinking ship

Beyond Light
Sabrina Jul 2015
The sky lays in elegant shades
blues, blacks, and lovely old grays
spotted and speckled with bright little stars
letting you know they're never too far
you sit and ponder at what lies above
an infinite universe abundant in love
full of surprise is the vast unknown
what a unique place to call your home.

Take Me Away
Sabrina Jul 2015
I plug in my ear buds and let the world fall away
the ambient beats free my mind from the petty problems of reality
if only I could remain forever in this quiet limbo
offered by my musical realm.
Sabrina Jul 2015
I look so deeply into your eyes
but what I find comes as a surprise
misery and a profound pain
so much sadness, it's such a shame
you seem to be a broken girl
you feel so lonely in this world
mistakes are all you ever do
get out of here, I don't need you
it's only then when I realize
I am looking into my own eyes.

Torn
Sabrina Jul 2015
I found a tear in my favorite shirt
I do not understand why this hurts
it's just a simple piece of cloth
so why does this feel like such a loss
in this shirt I've been through a lot
pouring tears or deep in thought
I guess there's not much I can do
it's just your shirt, it is not you.

The Moon is my Bestfriend
Sabrina Jun 2015
There was a perfect hole in the sky
Shaped just for the moon to say hi

It rested up there on this night
Watching over us, erasing fright

Its bright gleams shine down below
Showing you the right path to go

You look up and say thank you
Oh Moon, without you, what would I do

A Midnight Conversation
Sabrina Jun 2015
We sat there in silence in the company of the dimly lit room
as hundreds of unspoken thoughts poured freely
We spoke of everything and of nothing
We had never been closer than we were that night
sitting on opposite sides of the living room
All the feelings ever felt between us, all the moments we had shared,
were exposed on that rainy night
The connection we share is like no other in the world you said
The connection we have is that of two lost souls finally reunited
after eternities of searching
1:34 am

                    "Well?" you said.
  "Well."

To Pratik :)
Sabrina Jun 2015
I know that you are always there
I love to think about the things we share
Sad or happy, it doesn't matter
You pick up my heart when it lay shattered
May we stay friends for many moons
And our connection remain immune

Red Shirt Beach Boy
Sabrina Jun 2015
I watch you walk away slowly
I do not get what 's wrong with me
I see you and you see me too
If I had courage, what would we do
It doesn't matter 'cause now your gone
I wish you never came along
You're really messing with my head
You're the guy whose shirt is red
You caught my eye pretty fast
My fantasy cannot last
You are just some guy on the beach
Who is just out of my reach
I saw a cute guy at the beach
so I had to blow it way out of
proportion and make it into
this mushy poem

Time Lapse
Sabrina Jun 2015
It was like time froze for those few seconds
It felt like we were the only ones on the planet
The only thing that mattered was that we were there,
together, in that moment
And I knew, as I stared into his deep green eyes,
that he was the only for me.
wrote this about a silly crush of mine years ago

A Cool Poem
Sabrina Jun 2015
poetry is so interesting
there can be all  different kinds of poems
happy ones, sad ones, ones about heartache
all cool poems have one thing in common
they all rhyme at the end

*I do not actually think a poem has to rhyme in order for it to be good

Dear Soulmate,
Sabrina Jun 2015
It drives me mad
how I am so
irrevocably in love with you
and we have never
even met
this basically sums up
why most of my poems
are about love and stuff

Sky of Mystery
Sabrina May 2015
I wonder what the stars dream about
do they worry, do they pout
do they watch us from above
and look upon us with lots of love
to be honest, I do not know
they're enigmatic- feelings do not show
they shine so bright in the sky
they're full of secrets but they're shy
I wish I knew more about the stars
I wish I could find out who they are
they look at me and I look back
so much knowledge do I lack
I eagerly await  that special day
when I will be able to say
I learned so much and figured them out
I am no longer filled with doubt

Metal Bird
Sabrina May 2015
I hear this sound so I look up above
my initial thought is that it's a dove
I look closer and see that it's not
it's an airplane, not what I thought
I close my eyes for just a second
then it's gone, vanished, I reckon
I search the sky for that metal beast
but it's not in sight to say the least
up into the clouds it's gone
singing its little airplane song
May 2015 · 287
Purgatory
Sabrina May 2015
I walk through the dark hall
hearing the lonely echoes of my footsteps
The hall extends as far as I can see in either direction
A dim light starts to form further away
Every step seems to make it grow brighter
I extend my arm out and try to grab it
but it seems to evade my grasp
I begin feeling feverish
My body is suddenly flushed with intense heat
My pace starts to quicken
and before I know it, I'm sprinting toward the now-blinding light
My skin feels like it is slowly melting away
I push through the heat fervently
With a flash, all is different
I no longer feel outrageously hot, but now more of a refreshing cool
It seems like I've gone into the light, through it perhaps
I look around with awe
The entire scene has completely transformed
I'm in a seemingly perpetual white space
I walk forward, but my footfalls no longer reverberate
I try to call out, but my voice makes  no sound
I clear my throat and offer another weak attempt
This time, there is a voice
but the voice does not belong to me.

A Night In Paris
Sabrina May 2015
I've had some of my clearest thoughts
out upon that balcony
I found the answers which I sought
I was happy, I was free
I remember lying there
without a worry on my mind
into the starry night I'd stare
and slowly let my thoughts unwind
the stars would shine
and so would the city
that moment was mine
it was so pretty.
Reminiscing of my previous summer in France

Those Nights
Sabrina May 2015
My pen is running out of ink
I guess I don't have much time to think
there is so much I wish to say
but all these things are in my way
I think back to that summer night
just before we had the fight
it was so perfect then and there
a perfect moment that we shared
things got rocky at the end
but you said we'd still be friends
you and I know what that means
it doesn't call for a pretty scene
all the damage has been done
at least we had those nights of fun.
dang. my poetry is always so sad. I wonder why?

Wake Me Up
Sabrina May 2015
You are like a bad dream
I don't understand what you mean
I wish for you to go away
I beg and plead but here you stay
no matter how far or fast I run
I can never escape, I am done
I'm over this and over you
it is no longer just us two
I give up, just let me go
I will vanish, I'll never show
what we had is now long gone
I'm no longer your little pawn
I will not let you control me
I'm independent, just let me be
You're a bad, bad dream gone wrong
but I'll wake up and you'll be gone
May 2015 · 285
Seriously?
Sabrina May 2015
All you ever do is whine
if you don't quit, I'll lose my mind
I'm getting tired of this game
your snide remarks are such a shame
your attitude is really sour
do you think it gives you power
you're very stubborn and pretty rude
your sense of humor is also crude
please leave, you are not welcome here
I feel it's me you should start to fear

Tidal Wave
Sabrina May 2015
There is nothing
  that is more beautiful
    than the relationship
       of the ocean and the shore


                          the ocean will never stop
                            kissing the shore
                              no matter how many
                                 times it is sent away


                                                                       You were the shore
                                                                         and I was the ocean.

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

Dear Reflection,

Why must you taunt me?
I'm tired of seeing who I am.
For once, just this once, will you
show me who I want to be?
Sabrina May 2015
you wouldn't need a second chance
  if you had treated me right the first time
kick em to the curb ladies
Sabrina May 2015
I wrote this long letter to you
but then I ripped it all away
I have some thoughts to sort through
I just feel so afraid

The words on paper did not seem right
they seemed so small and dumb
but I all I could do was simply write
yet the right things would not come

I don't really know what I am trying to say
it all makes sense in my head
it's quite difficult and here I lay
thinking of you in my bed
Inspired by backspacing a poem one to many time

Life Inside an Aquarium
Sabrina May 2015
Please help, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in here
I'll be stuck forever, that is my fear
Just give me your hand and let me out
I'll be good, I promise not to shout
I'll be out of your hair, you don't have to worry
Please let me out, I'm in a hurry
I need to escape, I need to go
he's coming, he's coming, my biggest foe
he'll keep me here as long as he can
I have to go, the others all ran
I am the only one left behind
I must leave or I'll lose my mind
I'll expose this place for all it is
A little prison he's proud to call his
Please help, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in here
I'll be stuck forever, that is my fear.
A little something I thought up around 2 am last night.

Cinderella Gone Awry
Sabrina May 2015
My evil sisters may keep me in
but that doesn't mean that they will win
they think they'll make the prince fall in love
I think they need a realistic shove
I wait and wait until they leave
their absence offers such reprieve
their hearts are black and their souls are cold
they never pictured me to be so bold
I get ready and slip on my gown
the royal ball is just in town
a couple of minutes and a couple of miles
they'll be so mad when I walk down the aisle
a princess, a princess, that's what I shall be
they'll understand they shouldn't have messed with me
I get what I want and I get what I need
You never would've guessed I would be in the lead
I am succeeding in the game of life
I'm in first place, I pity your strife
I am so happy, I'm having fun
now it's you two who have to run
It's a shame I've had to teach you like this
you stand by and watch true love's first kiss.
A personal favorite. Thank you for taking the time to read it all.
