21/F/probably my room Hi, I write poetry, obviously, but normally I write for my own well being or just for personal joy. But a friend of mine reminded me that poetry was art, and that art was meant to be shared. So here goes nothing.....
We met where the coffee’s always hot, At a diner, same shift, same spot. Flirting in whispers, sneaking a glance, Dodging the boss for a secret romance. I swore I’d sworn off love for good, But you were sweeter than I thought I could. Blue eyes, soft smile, patient and true Turns out I was just waiting for you. Now it’s love with a side of fries, And kisses served with morning skies

words.letters. s p a c i n g. writing used to come easy when I was with you it was second nature you were my muse. my heart. my soul. every emotion I could write down in pen and paper now my writing is bleak and bland the words don’t fall out of my mouth like the water in the creek we used to play in, the letters get jumbled in my mind and the only thing that’s left is a blank piece of paper staring back at my I can only see my hot tears staining the sheet the ink in my pen is dry it feels as if the blood in my veins has dried with it as if this blank piece of paper I’m now shredding into two is my heart. but maybe you were only my muse because I needed those words. I needed this ink. I needed this paper. Maybe I never needed you at all.

muse.
walk into the coffee shop and see you smile from behind the counter We chat and laugh then I see her walk out with her dark hair beautiful eyes and long legs I’m envious And then I watch you watch her you watch her sway back and forth as she sweeps you watch her laugh with the locals as I sit in the corner pining for your gaze and it hurts so much but I know what this is between us it’s not love it’s just lust between two passing souls who might have belonged at one point but no longer connect

envy
perfectly imperfect that’s how I’d describe us if there even was an us to describe we use eachother time and time again you don’t love me and I know that but deep down I wish you did not because I love you but because I’m greedy I want the feeling the notion that i have you on a string that I can get you to do what I please What can I say? I’m greedy.

Greedy
I once again let you touch my skin Let you feed off me Using me when you needed someone Someone to fill that void The void that anyone could fill But it had to be me Always me I let you use me But baby how I love the feeling of being used by you

lost words
i hate the fact that I remind you of her i hate the fact that when you say that sometimes it means your thinking of her when your with me i don’t think you ever got over her not fully and that breaks me because I can’t be with half of someone i want the whole you and you can’t give me that if she still has a part of you

half of you
i think the trouble is we are all so invested in finding the person that makes them feel like they are the only person in the world when the truth is, everyone’s replaceable.

everyone’s the same
I'm learning to fall In love with the twilight Spending a lifetime trying to Fantasize A lifetime of seeing the world Through another’s eyes I'm just doing my best Going under but I'm holding my breath But I'm looking up Up at the bright side At the bright side of the moon
