hellogoodbye - Hello Poetry

Why Why you so nervous Oh, you know just why You want to be loved But love, you gotta put in work Why Why you say Paul once said The love you take is Equal to the love you make So take your nervous and turn it to a purpose, One that will tie you into a bow so neat You’ll wonder what’s lying underneath So why Why are you so nervous You’re waiting to receive something so dear, practically brand new, But you already have it, And you’re sending it off too.

I’m not enough. I never have been. Isn’t it obvious I’m not enough? That’s why I’m always in the same spot. But can I get away from here? Maybe this is home, but the house is falling apart. As long as it stands, There is a chance I can be enough.

Enough (A chance)

I’m not enough. I never have been. Isn’t it obvious I’m not enough? That’s why I’m always in the same spot. But can I get away from here? Maybe this is home, but the house is falling apart. As long as it stands, There is a chance I can be enough.

The unsaid truth -- Deranged, and underage -- Can reveal itself, Independently. Walk away. Step away. It need not your day. Powerful it is, Even when Nothings being said

we woke up together, enveloped in each other and your bedsheets, to the sound of soft wind chimes in your bedroom window and cars driving past your home. your room smells like your cologne and the laundry detergent my mother used when i was young. you lazily half moaned, half murmured, "good morning, love," and you, with your dazed condition and morning breath, found my lips and met them with yours. you pulled me in closer and ran your fingers gently through my messy, tangled hair, and i inhaled your scent so deeply i could feel it softly settle in the bottoms of my lungs. the morning sun shined through your bedroom window and the shadows of the trees outside danced in the wind along your baby blue bedroom walls. you ran the tips of your fingers gently in sporadic loops along my shoulder blade and spine. we lay there and took it all in, took each other in, our legs intertwined and my head against your chest. for these few minutes i found myself wishing we could live infinitely in these small, precious moments, the ones we take for granted, the ones we only remember when the big picture is gone. i snuggled closer into your arms and we drifted back to sleep, heartbeats synced and bedsheets entangled in our legs.

Petals Decorating my bedroom floor. Lit candles Flickering upon nightstands. Our favorite gentle music Dancing into my ears. And you're there, too Waiting upon bed sheets Silently Bidding me come. And as passion befalls me Cold, frigid water Rushes down my naked skin. The warm water exhausted Brings me back To sitting in the shower Alone

Petals And Frigid Water

Petals Decorating my bedroom floor. Lit candles Flickering upon nightstands. Our favorite gentle music Dancing into my ears. And you're there, too Waiting upon bed sheets Silently Bidding me come. And as passion befalls me Cold, frigid water Rushes down my naked skin. The warm water exhausted Brings me back To sitting in the shower Alone

The stars are out tonight I gaze at them from my yard My hair spread out on the grass My mind races Focused on how far away these glittering lights are An entire universe is out there But it was not made for me I am small But can a light still burn inside me? Especially if I feel so dark? I like to think we are all stars And astronomers at the same time Searching for our place in the galaxy Will you be a star with me? With you I no longer feel dimmed Can you let me illuminate your world? I’ve been pulled in by your gravity There’s no way to leave your orbit now Even if I wanted to
