I don't know
What you did
But I don't
Like it not
In one single
Bit it's gnawing
At me that
I don't know
The answers to
Anything or everything

And that it
Makes me nervous
And shaky when
You're around and
I don't like
That, but there
You are sitting
Tall and proud
And like a
King upon his
Merry throne of
Gold and silver

Other people see
How you light
Up too so
I don't think
I'm too awfully
oh-so-special
But I overthink
The words you
Say every single
******* day.

I didn't mean
To sound so
Stupid or rude
The other day
It's just we
Met over a
Book of fate
And you stepped
Out of your
Car the same
Exact time I
Did mine when
We were all
Alone and when
Everyone had left

You asked what
I was doing
Now, but I'm
Not too smart
So I just
Said 'going home.'
And turned away.
I don't know whether or not this boy was trying to lowkey ask me on a date, but he's cute so hopefully, but that's also why I doubt it. Tons of girls talk to him so I don't stand a chance. This isn't the same guy as before whoops.

It's a mistake
It's a crude
Crude mistake of
Me to let
Myself talk to
You again when
I'm sure of
Why I stopped
On day one

You make me
Nervous with your
Passion it's not
An angry within
You but just
Sweet sorrow that
I can't understand
I don't know
Why you would
See me so
Tenderly and sweet
When I've been
Cold and brash

Abrasive and rash
With my words
To you just
Out of fear
And general distaste
For the emotion.
Tried a kind of new style. A sweet boy has feelings for me, but I don't reciprocate them. I'm sorry...

I want to hide away
And I know that's what we
All tend to say
I'm not different, neither are you

Home is just around
The corner inside your temple
But I'll wear the crown
In this house

I wanna cut out my tongue
With my own words
When they spill out in
Whispers to myself with
Not a soul around

I'm at the top of the
Underground world of this
Trying to clime out from
The abyss, looking back
Looking back
And it stares into me
taking a try at smaller poems

Hanging with all the
Unloved kids
Lunch at nine with the
Straight edge
Don't you remember
Remember when it used
To be sunburns and bike rides
Too

I've held my breath with
Every little step
On the shards of the past
But everything seems to get a
Little smaller with every time
You frown

So now I'm
Hanging with all the
Unloved kids
Lunch tonight with the
Straight edge
And I don't know who to believe
In the battle

But everyone seems
A little too chill
With me drowning in my
Own spill
And I know its my
Fault and I know it's
Undoing the ties we shared so
Long, long ago

But I've just got to
Hang with all the
Unloved kids
Skip lunch at nine with the
Straight edge

Y/N
We're not the clean cut
Kids in the back bus
Nike socks pulled way up
Football lights shining in us
No
I wanna stay up till three
Head down, slumped under
Water and face in the
Glitter and grim before
Yes
We'll undress into our skin
And show how to hold
Another drink of tea when wishing
The world could hold us warm
No
And I hate reality
But I really love those pictures
Of you looking so sharp and smoking
Sweet smells of fall, and our birth
Into winter
Yeah
I want to head back to
Amsterdam, London, New York, Paris
For some solace but even those
Safe havens haven't seen my face in weeks
Nah
So should I go back now
Before it's all over, and I'd like
To die again today, tomorrow
There's not another day left
For me to cry over my own mistakes
And downfalls, but I'll thank all the
Invisible humans today, and tomorrow
For now.
Another free verse I'm lame as hell as always
sour avocado Oct 2014
This is bone crushing
And I'm falling through
The tiny cracks that
Everyone else seems to
Just avoid, and everyone
Is so ahead, but I'm falling
And falling, and sobbing
Into the feathers of my
Griffin who hasn't woken
In five days, and I get
A little bit worried
Sometimes about
What's going to pop up
Next, and if I can make
It from one end of the walkway
To the other.
School, ignorant teachers, two theater productions along with my own stupid issues is getting a little much every now, and then.
