one-llucy - Hello Poetry

I have a little pocket, deep inside my mind Where I throw out all my secrets, I want to leave behind It can be good to remember but sometimes better to forget Certain things and places, or even people that I've met I keep my darkest moments, buried in this hole Because everybody's got a secret, they'll never tell a soul

Secrets

I have a little pocket, deep inside my mind Where I throw out all my secrets, I want to leave behind It can be good to remember but sometimes better to forget Certain things and places, or even people that I've met I keep my darkest moments, buried in this hole Because everybody's got a secret, they'll never tell a soul

If you catch me fishing for compliments or looking for a fight I just need to know I'm adequate, that everything's alright I'm anxiously insecure, I easily regret Mistakes are always on my mind, too heavy to forget I'm suspicious of the little things, a skeptic to the core Small changes make me nervous, I feel generally unsure I'll always keep on asking things when I already know Because anything can happen, people come and people go That's why I need your confidence each and every day I just need some reassurance so that I can be okay

and just this once, I reached out into the darkness I answered the beckoning call I did not run away or slow my step wondering if I had done something utterly terrible or something absolutely amazing unable to resist the hypnotizing appeal because who doesn't want to stand on the edge of something dangerous?

I don't know why, but it always starts with an invitation to dinner. Excitement always turns to dread when I sit across from you at the table. You fold your hands, while I play with the table cloth. I wait. For those words "we need to talk" or "there's something I need to tell you" I know what follows after those words A death of family or a friend A cheating parent confession Loss of a job Yet another time we are forced to move to a new home or the worst words "it's not working out" the same poor excuses pour out of your mouth faster than the waitress can refill my beverage so please, don't ever ask why I cancel our "Dinner Plans"

You always whispered when you spoke Everyone around you leaning in, Hanging on every word, as if it were a lifeline You always meander about, never truly belonging anywhere Your eyes shift ever so slightly to take in your surroundings Never blinking Dark deep portals of unknown I can always feel your gaze On my back Your stare touches my silhouette as I anxiously try to busy myself with anything but meeting your eyes A blush spreads down my cheeks and neck As I'm compelled to look your way Only to regret it as I catch your ruthless smirk You tease without even making a move I fail to think of clever retorts as I try to recover my blunder I wince with each step you take closer to me When at last you are before me I dare not look up as you tower over me, Your hand weighing down heavily on my shoulder I flinch as you lean in to whisper... And then my mind is already unfaithful.

The Affair

You always whispered when you spoke Everyone around you leaning in, Hanging on every word, as if it were a lifeline You always meander about, never truly belonging anywhere Your eyes shift ever so slightly to take in your surroundings Never blinking Dark deep portals of unknown I can always feel your gaze On my back Your stare touches my silhouette as I anxiously try to busy myself with anything but meeting your eyes A blush spreads down my cheeks and neck As I'm compelled to look your way Only to regret it as I catch your ruthless smirk You tease without even making a move I fail to think of clever retorts as I try to recover my blunder I wince with each step you take closer to me When at last you are before me I dare not look up as you tower over me, Your hand weighing down heavily on my shoulder I flinch as you lean in to whisper... And then my mind is already unfaithful.

This is only our second encounter but all hesitation is gone from your actions I walked into the lair of a merciless monster igniting a domino of reactions my cheeks flushed as I'm held by this beast that I find myself pinned underneath hot breath pours out on my neck as my ears are grazed by your teeth my heart pounds against your chest your hands roughly comb through my hair I squirm, submerged in your arms continually gasping for air your mouth desperately searching for mine I finally succumb to your kiss the problem with a fatal attractions, is deciphering what's hell and what's bliss

I fell in love with Lust with his beady greedy eyes those wandering hands such a haughty smirk each scratch and bite, inviting as he stole each selfish kiss I fell deeper into his arms the lack of emotion, and superficial charm. I was twisted around callous fingers Each meeting an adventure. Each encounter so exciting. The perfect romance. But when Lust fell in love with me… it was boring, he was too sweet Too kind, too predictable. I craved something else, You might say, I became Lust and then found myself another love.

I fell in Love with Lust

I fell in love with Lust with his beady greedy eyes those wandering hands such a haughty smirk each scratch and bite, inviting as he stole each selfish kiss I fell deeper into his arms the lack of emotion, and superficial charm. I was twisted around callous fingers Each meeting an adventure. Each encounter so exciting. The perfect romance. But when Lust fell in love with me… it was boring, he was too sweet Too kind, too predictable. I craved something else, You might say, I became Lust and then found myself another love.

As I open the door The cold engulfs me first raising hairs on my neck, shivers down my spine, prickles on my scalp Next the smell so mild, pleasant, crisp. similar to rain or dew my lungs take in this air for the first time The light begins to peek over the mountains clearing the fog, cutting away the dark The quiet is both a comfort and an uneasiness Only the earth under my feet whispers as I walk the dirt path The lake unblemished, like a mirror for the sky to look upon no wind, no waves, no life standing there, absorbing the surroundings I am the one to break the silence, to shatter the utopia as I drop the pebble in the waters… these ripples go on Forever

Why is everything I desire miles away? Only to be seen through a looking glass. Who would have guessed I was blind, And looking through the wrong side of a telescope? All along I thought my happiness was just out of reach.

Telescope

Why is everything I desire miles away? Only to be seen through a looking glass. Who would have guessed I was blind, And looking through the wrong side of a telescope? All along I thought my happiness was just out of reach.
