whyhan - Hello Poetry

i know my pillow is salty and sullen i don't want to explain they say don't borrow grief from tomorrow but I've still got yesterday do you replay the moment it ended lips holding up all my shame I forgot all the yearning we shouldered left you to sit in that place where strangers all sat sipping cups of tomorrow and I couldn't see your face cause i know that you're better without me that's how it always goes I know you're better without me but we'll still have our schoodays to remember the most now i hear through a person and person how you've grown through the pain i try not wonder if you've heard about how i'm in love and all moved away we both stand on a platform to nowhere shoulders tensed all the same mourning the loss of a beautiful dream hoping greatness arrives any day waiting for them to call our names cause i know that you're better without me better without me that's how it would always go i know you're much better without me i wish you the best doing it on your own i'm sorry for all the pain that i've caused i hope you'll still remember our better schooldays i'll mourn the loss of a beautiful dream remembering we walked away remember that time when we were both the same

it’s overload bodies on streets posed and doting bones blazers and trench coats so overgrown ambitiously my only reprieve a dream of no resistance a fickle reason for existence ails muffled at my feet I twist across the platforms edge cutting deeper into heat all the goodness of the stars are soot and dust I suckle free into a wrinkled serviette of where I waste away in service what did I do so wrong to deserve such a bitter irony

in the emptiness of all these lonely nights i drift slowly to the planet in my heart and its knock knock knocking still mock mock mocking and stop stop stopping my every line heels clicking glasses chinking the whisper of a forgotten light flickers on and off an endless chime I just let the ringing echo and in my mind the sounds of my planet are the only peace I can find so fluttering heart un-still and unrefined crack open and splutter onto the duvet and let me listen to the sounds of the planet inside

sounds of a planet in my heart

in the emptiness of all these lonely nights i drift slowly to the planet in my heart and its knock knock knocking still mock mock mocking and stop stop stopping my every line heels clicking glasses chinking the whisper of a forgotten light flickers on and off an endless chime I just let the ringing echo and in my mind the sounds of my planet are the only peace I can find so fluttering heart un-still and unrefined crack open and splutter onto the duvet and let me listen to the sounds of the planet inside

I’ve been snapped out of the void before Endless relenting overthinking never did me any good But with ego I stubbornly persist On an overground tram Heading back from a casual birthday party Casual by default since her mum insisted On jack in the box games and a caterpillar cake at nineteen I told her all about the online echo chamber For my newfound identity For which she held the same Did she have these same experiences These strangers liked to insist? I will never forget how she so cool told me no And like a slap in the face I was reminded Of the futility of my own overthinking. There didn’t need to be some grand explanation For my cosmic being in the universe I just had to exist

Steady is the boat that’s left to drift

We were two stars dancing in the dust Afraid of falling in love But we still learned to fall together And somehow that was enough

I wish you were meaner Someone more heartless Someone colder But you're burning hot all the time Like a softer star whispering into the crook of my neck How can I feel so connected Yet be so clueless about what runs through your head Thoughts shooting so fast Everything else must be dust Floating aimlessly Until you shine your quiet smile And melt away the fear stuck in their swallowed breaths As you did mine I don't think you'd understand... Your every breath is starlight upon my lips

I take your lives into my eyes And twist your realities into mine. Whatever you believed in that moment Never was yours. Whatever you felt Now drips sickly down a blade of words I'll tell myself To make you the villain So I can sleep at night.

I am a grim reaper

I take your lives into my eyes And twist your realities into mine. Whatever you believed in that moment Never was yours. Whatever you felt Now drips sickly down a blade of words I'll tell myself To make you the villain So I can sleep at night.

Always in flux: Nothing is fixed in my heart of hearts It is instead a perpetuating cycle Of falling in and out of touch And rediscovering Everything I once felt everytime.
