nadialaird - Hello Poetry

Don’t you dare Don’t you dare look In that mirror Like it’s broken And your bad luck Is the body in front of you Don't you dare Don't you dare Grip your sides Any harder Wishing they could fall off as easily As the anger and frustration From your lashes could Don't you dare Don't you dare Tell me Your heart is Only as big as your fist For I’ve seen you kneel down Your pride For the happiness of another Don't you dare I swear to god don't you dare Tell me You are not enough Because in all honesty You’re right. You are So much More Than one ******* Word, My love. And don't you dare Ever Believe any different.

From My Eyes

Don’t you dare Don’t you dare look In that mirror Like it’s broken And your bad luck Is the body in front of you Don't you dare Don't you dare Grip your sides Any harder Wishing they could fall off as easily As the anger and frustration From your lashes could Don't you dare Don't you dare Tell me Your heart is Only as big as your fist For I’ve seen you kneel down Your pride For the happiness of another Don't you dare I swear to god don't you dare Tell me You are not enough Because in all honesty You’re right. You are So much More Than one ******* Word, My love. And don't you dare Ever Believe any different.

I want to grow old and say I donated A fortune to charity That I regret ever caring about popularity. That my now vast vocabulary Isn’t just vulgarity That I lived my life in sincerity And in that, I found clarity. But as of now, Life’s as clear as mud Good thing that one of the greatest things My brother has ever taught me Is how to play in the dirt.

To Grow Old and Say

I want to grow old and say I donated A fortune to charity That I regret ever caring about popularity. That my now vast vocabulary Isn’t just vulgarity That I lived my life in sincerity And in that, I found clarity. But as of now, Life’s as clear as mud Good thing that one of the greatest things My brother has ever taught me Is how to play in the dirt.

I fell in love with brown eyes, Yet they were no longer brown. They were an amber Ambers sparked into flames In the rings of their iris I wanted every gold fleck of light On the rusted mahogany Twisting bridges Flickering under their shadowy dark lashes To lead the way And I didn't care where. I fell in love with green eyes Yet they were no longer green They were a forest Dark and mysterious With dense mossy rifts Entwined with one another You lose yourself in seconds If you go too far The streaks of sparkling champagne Sunlit rays peaking through Leafy Junipers and evergreens I fell in love with blue eyes Yet they were no longer blue They were brighter than the sky Deeper than the ocean A sea Of teal Waves of sapphire crash down Circling the endless abyss Dilating And Expanding Making even tears glimmer like diamonds As they fall down their cheek I fell in love with hazel eyes The iris that changes from day to night and over again Swirls of chestnut coffee in a mug sitting on a bed of green grass The taupe and raw umber trees drape over shading the circular meadow sunshine peaking through kissing the green with gold and a bright blue sky lighting it all I fell in love with the window To their soul True emotions Not being deceived by the smile on their face Personality dripping down like tears I fell in love with the truth.

The Window

I fell in love with brown eyes, Yet they were no longer brown. They were an amber Ambers sparked into flames In the rings of their iris I wanted every gold fleck of light On the rusted mahogany Twisting bridges Flickering under their shadowy dark lashes To lead the way And I didn't care where. I fell in love with green eyes Yet they were no longer green They were a forest Dark and mysterious With dense mossy rifts Entwined with one another You lose yourself in seconds If you go too far The streaks of sparkling champagne Sunlit rays peaking through Leafy Junipers and evergreens I fell in love with blue eyes Yet they were no longer blue They were brighter than the sky Deeper than the ocean A sea Of teal Waves of sapphire crash down Circling the endless abyss Dilating And Expanding Making even tears glimmer like diamonds As they fall down their cheek I fell in love with hazel eyes The iris that changes from day to night and over again Swirls of chestnut coffee in a mug sitting on a bed of green grass The taupe and raw umber trees drape over shading the circular meadow sunshine peaking through kissing the green with gold and a bright blue sky lighting it all I fell in love with the window To their soul True emotions Not being deceived by the smile on their face Personality dripping down like tears I fell in love with the truth.
