emilymercados - Hello Poetry

So i guess this is 4 Touching the stove and watching it burn your skin Realizing that you have to breathe Slipping and falling Feeling his hands on you His hands on you His hands on you Nightmares Doctor checks Hospital trips Therapy? Therapy So I guess this is 13 Losing your friends Getting your period Crying over your First heartbreak Watching your parents separate Cutting your skin Starving your body Sleepless nights So I guess this is 18 Watching your first love get married Finding out your second loves likes boys Leaving home Getting tattoos to cover scars First kiss First time having *** First time realizing it hurts when someone uses you Second time Spending days crying So I guess this is 19 Seeing your body as a work of art Going to movies Eating dinner Going to concerts All by yourself And enjoying it Getting more tattoos For no reason other than I like them Sleeping through the night Starting to write again Standing up to your fears Speaking up Speaking your poetry in public So I guess this is 19 I'm so glad I made it

We are the perfect definition of almost Two parallel lines that get so close They almost kiss Almost touch Almost You go to bed while I rise You're in South Carolina and I'm in Texas I'm Texas while you're in South Carolina We just barely missed each other Almost met Almost We are 11:12 The missed calls The last seconds of the song on the radio The first kiss that didn't happen The eyes that didn't meet The unspoken apologies The parallel lines We are almost all the Failed potential in the world Stuck in one word Two syllables Six letters You almost loved me I was almost enough We almost happened Almost

We don't talk anymore So I'll write you letters in the stars, that way I'll know for sure that you'll read them I'll say, "I miss you" "I hope we talk again" "I hope you're well" I'll be like the moon And love you from a distance We don't talk anymore And I'm not sure what hurts more The things you said Or the ones you didn't

But if you leave, promise me this Promise me you'll find someone who Can't wait to hear about the crazy Dreams you had the night before Someone who knows about the Whale birthmark on your thigh Someone who thinks your laugh Is the only sunshine they'll need And your eyes are the only stars They want to look into at night Someone who gets giddy when They think about holding your hand Find someone who knows the places Your hands have been and appreciates their strength they hold despite it all Someone who understands Your banter and feistiness Find someone who loves you for Who you are not what you have Overall, if you decide to leave I hope you find someone Who can love you in all the ways I couldn't

You were like the first word in a poem The first note in a symphony the first beam of sunlight in the morning and the first star in the night sky I loved you more than the moon loves the sun the ocean loves the shore my lungs love the air I breathe but what if we were the dark before a dawn the rain before a rainbow the calm before the crash what if all we were was prologue

My heart hold so much evidence of history but so do museums, art galleries and cemeteries. Maybe someday my heart will be on display for having survived.

Every I love you I said   sounded a little more  like a goodbye  but it was only because  your heart is a restless ocean   and I never was good with learning  the tide cycles

Restless Ocean Heart

I. Hell for me was knowing I'd never love another the same way I loved you. II. They tell me someone can't be both the poison and the curing potion but you somehow managed to cure a wound and cause another. III. I remember the exact moment I fell in love with you except I wasn't just falling, I was drowning. I should've known. IV. Everything reminds me of you, even the things that don't. V. We met at the wrong time. I'm still waiting for the moment you and time are on my side. VI. When we first met I was blue. I didn't love my sadness until you told me your favorite color was navy blue. VII.   I loved the cold until I found an indescribable winter inside me the day you left.
