meilisa-ananda - Hello Poetry

We keep putting words into each other's mouths We choke ourselves with smoke that came out of our heads as we get each other's dander up We smother ourselves with so much self-blame We drown ourselves in the tears that we cried away from each other's sight We wish to hand each other roses but their thorns sinks deep into our fleshes instead We cup each other's mouths as we try to speak our minds We love too deep that we barely even notice the poison we're handing each other We love too deep that we barely even notice how badly we're doing it

The Poison We Fail to Notice

We keep putting words into each other's mouths We choke ourselves with smoke that came out of our heads as we get each other's dander up We smother ourselves with so much self-blame We drown ourselves in the tears that we cried away from each other's sight We wish to hand each other roses but their thorns sinks deep into our fleshes instead We cup each other's mouths as we try to speak our minds We love too deep that we barely even notice the poison we're handing each other We love too deep that we barely even notice how badly we're doing it

I spent so much of me loving you I spent so much of me wishing you were here with me, though I know you're wishing you were somewhere else with someone else I spent so much of me writing poems about you I spent so much of me singing songs about you, you were the one behind all of my doleful melodies I spent so much of me hoping you'd check on me for at least just a little while I spent so much of me waiting for you to come back, though I swear I know you won't ever I spent so much of me for you Yet it seemed crystal clear to me that I'm not worth even just a second of all the time you've got

i have complete organs yet i still wish to stand on somebody else's feet i have the warmest blanket yet i still wish to wake up on somebody else's bed i have beautiful eyes yet i still wish to see the world in somebody else's pupil i have a beautiful voice yet i still wish to scream in somebody else's pitch this is the world this is the reality social media they taught us to love ourselves but then make fun of our insecurities it's like telling a flower it's beautiful and then decided to pick it and leave it turning brown on the ground why does it always has to be this way?
