madison-grey-bergstedt - Hello Poetry

I wish you were here to hold my hand I’m glad you’re as crazy as I am I feel bad about that I wish you were here to hold my hand I threw a glass at the refrigerator when you asked me to be your girlfriend I’m glad I’m your girlfriend There was glass everywhere I laughed… a lot My roommates did not laugh I laughed even more You’re a dork Sometimes at night I hate you But that’s because I like you I don’t like that I like you I’m not good at liking people I wish you were here to hold my hand

Drunk Thoughts About You

I wish you were here to hold my hand I’m glad you’re as crazy as I am I feel bad about that I wish you were here to hold my hand I threw a glass at the refrigerator when you asked me to be your girlfriend I’m glad I’m your girlfriend There was glass everywhere I laughed… a lot My roommates did not laugh I laughed even more You’re a dork Sometimes at night I hate you But that’s because I like you I don’t like that I like you I’m not good at liking people I wish you were here to hold my hand

I want to crawl into bed with you And you're in another's bed I want to slink past these people Slither into your soft sheets Curl up around your body and feel your warmth Heat my cold blooded heart Hold me while I'm frozen with the fear of losing you

It's Cold at Two in the Morning

I want to crawl into bed with you And you're in another's bed I want to slink past these people Slither into your soft sheets Curl up around your body and feel your warmth Heat my cold blooded heart Hold me while I'm frozen with the fear of losing you

Drugs can't fix you Doctors can't fix you Nothing can fix you Because you aren't broken You're sick

When a star reaches death it expands When it’s core can no longer stand up against gravity It bursts The particles of the once bright and flaming ball of light Drift off into space Slowly forming a new heavenly body Something beautiful Something better Let me be a fixed luminous point in the sky A remote incandescent body like the sun Let me float in space alone and start anew Let me be a star

Reincarnation

When a star reaches death it expands When it’s core can no longer stand up against gravity It bursts The particles of the once bright and flaming ball of light Drift off into space Slowly forming a new heavenly body Something beautiful Something better Let me be a fixed luminous point in the sky A remote incandescent body like the sun Let me float in space alone and start anew Let me be a star

A part of me has hated you from the moment we met Because all the other parts of me were instantly Pathetically In love with you I hate how I stare at my computer screen every night Hoping to see that green circle next to your name But you and I both know I’ll never do a **** thing about it I loathe those little things that remind me of you I pour coffee I see you brushing your teeth I drive down highway 105 Pass the Biscuitville sign Instantly in my mind I see you walking around in your cowboy hat Hear brown boots making their familiar clip clop sound Your footsteps sound like symphonies And I hate that hat You may be the cowboy of Roanoke But to me you’ll always be that ******** from Alamance Who I could never get over May never get over Usually nothing sticks with me I’ve only been addicted to two things in my life Self-destruction and you And I’ve spent my entire life trying to find a replacement Cigarettes are expensive Coke has a bad comedown Other people They’re just not the same I detest you You’re pompous Selfish And the best human being I’ve ever met I hate how I can’t forget you I hate! I hate… Because it’s easier for me to hate than to love I choose loathe over like Obsession over rejection Loneliness over loss To love you would be to lose you Hate it's my armor The weight It’s pulled me underwater And even there you’re still swimming circles ‘round my head You can’t help the way the current flows But baby No. Not baby Not darling Not mine I caught you once and threw you back Cause I didn't know how to love I still don't But I know very well how to hate And my God do I hate you

Hell will be a waiting room You’re sitting in an uncomfortable chair With dingy magazines five months old The couples on the covers have split Someone has already torn out the coupons, filled in the quizzes and crosswords Twelve letters across another word for your damnation? The answer scrawled out in red ink Anticipation Waiting for the news that is never going to come Waiting That anticipation is worse than the diagnoses You could have five months to live this afterlife Five weeks Five hours You could drop undead in the middle of that waiting room Where no one would do a ******* thing Because God doesn’t dwell down here Here the devil is king And then it begins again A different waiting room The same dingy magazines Except this one smells like a dentist’s office You’ll just sit Wait The walls read If you have been waiting more than fifteen minutes please notify the receptionist Alert staff if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms HAIL SATAN Thank you for not smoking No smoking No talking No texting tweeting or reading Waiting Just Waiting In this ***** dusty hell of a room Please take a seat A nurse will call you to the back shortly
