Dear No-One,

Someone misses you. It's just one person, but hey, it's Someone. No-One spent their whole life believing that they were Nobody. No-One had no one. No one other person who they could tell their secrets to. Nobody would listen. But now, No-One has Someone! Someone who will listen to to No-One's secrets because No-One isn't Nobody. No-One IS Somebody. In fact, No-One is Someone's Everything. No-One is all Someone thinks about. Someone watches No-One and feels the Loneliness rippling off of No-One like a stone hitting water. Someone knows exactly how No-One feels and wishes to ease the ache, but... Someone is scared. Someone is broken but desperately wishes to help. So Someone will try to overcome their fear if No-One wishes to break free of the Loneliness. Someone will try. Someone wishes to befriend No-One. Someone wishes No-One will accept.

Sincerely, Someone.
This can be really specific or extremely general about its subjects.

My eyelids are heavy

from the tears I've just cried.

I'm still cold,

still sitting in the same old chair.

My room is a mess

and all I can think about

is the fact that

you haven't seen me in years

and Lord knows

you're not about to start

with this new one.
I wish I was old enough to buy ***** myself.

Now common knowledge goes to show that girls cannot makeup their minds.
This is generally true and I am no exception.
Or maybe I am.

I can never decide what I want to eat so I'll eat everything in sight,
but if you ask me what my favorite songs are,
because it can't be just one, I will list off every song that you have ever shown me
no matter how much I hated it.

My existence revolves around you,
but don't you dare **** me off because I will hate you...
for like 5 minutes.
I could never stay mad at you.

You're like school and learning to me.
I might not like it all the time,
but God do I need it to succeed.

See right now,
I'm rather ****** that you haven't spoken to me yet, but I'm always looking forward to the next reason that I have to talk to you.

It's a love/hate thing.

Or more like a "I hate to love you" thing.
but only sometimes.
I can't make up my mind remember?

Maybe you can help me out.
Let's talk it out together.
or maybe not.

Let's write each other poetry that explains how we feel.
or is that too cliche?
Oh whatever, our whole relationship is too cliche.

So maybe one day I'll tell you.
maybe one day I'll work up the lousy guts to tell you that you're all I can think about,
all I can dream about,
all I can dare to see every time I close my eyes.

Whenever people ask me what I want to do in the future
I can't give an honest answer.
I want to be a lawyer. I want to save people. I want to be a librarian. I want to save the world,
but I just can't decide.

But I know one thing's for sure.

No matter what I do or where I end up,
be it heaven or hell or anyplace in between,
I want to spend every second of everyday on this ******* up planet in this miserable, undecided, and cruel world world *with you.
From March 3rd.
I haven't posted in a while, for many not-so-good reasons, so I wanted to leave this here.
Angie Acuña Jun 2014
Kiss me like you're trying to
steal the breath from me

Hug me like you're trying to
mould into me

Touch me like you want to
break me

Take me like you actually
*want me
I don't think I've posted anything like this on here... and I don't know how to feel about it.

everything hurts
and I don't know
what to write about
anymore
Angie Acuña Oct 2013
I think that when most people see me, they see all smiles and hear laughter.

My eyes get all squinty when I smile and sometimes, my cheeks literally start twitching.
My sides will hurt from laughing too much, which is expected.
I laugh at everything.

But it's a hollow laugh
And my eyes will never water from it.
My cheeks will always retain their original form

The second you leave the smile will fall
Shattering into a million pieces that you can't see.

They hurt when you step on them.
I just can't come up with any names lately.
Angie Acuña Jan 2016
i'm so tired
of waiting
waiting
waiting
for you

and words
that never caught up
to your mouth
Angie Acuña Sep 2013
I'm lost in this heart crushing sea of emptiness that resonates from you.
Like the waves of an ocean
it ebbs and then crashes again
reminding that I may touch the sand
but I'll never hold it in my arms for more than a few seconds.
Wow, this is short. I might add to it later.
Any suggestions for a title?
Angie Acuña Jun 2014
You make me sick to my stomach
with dozens of butterflies flapping out you name in morse code.
I want to wrap my hands around your insecurities,
strangling them from the neck down.
I wish to ****** your sadness and bury it six feet under with a shovel.
No eulogy.

Sometimes I can see your fears dying in a tub
where I have placed a hair dryer in the water.
I want to see your worst nightmare standing in a pool of blood
because I have shot it down from your mind.
I can hear you misery gasping for air from a lack of your sufferings reaching its lungs.
I want to see the spine of your burdens crack under the weight of your happiness.

You make me a violent person and that's not healthy I suppose,
but lucky for you,
*I was always a sick child.
I swear I won't ****** anyone or anything.
I have decided that since it's now summer, I will definitely be posting more.

He escuchado que las palabras suenan mejor en español.

Dicen que los vocales se escuchan más bonitos que en inglés.

Desafortunadamente, "adiós" tiene tres vocales y todo el mismo dolor.
Spanish is my second language and I thought I should try something different.
Angie Acuña Jun 2013
We're fine right?
You and I?
Most of the time we stare at each other trying to find the right word to say.

But we don't so it's just easier not to speak.
Trust me.
It's not.

I think we forgot how to coexist so now everything is just awkward stumbles of "Hello's" and "No, you first's".

But it shouldn't be like this because we were fine, right?!

You, you were my best friend, my diary.
Diaries don't just grow legs and walk away so why did you?

I don't think you realized this, but I fell in love with you.

At least I think it's love because no one else makes my heart best like this.
No one else makes me break the laws of science and have butterflies in my stomach, terrorizing as they please.

Please tell me that you also feel this way because I can't stand it any longer.
I despise the thought of being the only one in a battle with my heart.

So once again, we're fine, right?
Rant, rant, rant.

Fiercely*  I n d e p e n d e n t
I am as stubborn as the Aries Ram
     which just so happens to be my zodiac sign.
I don't care what others might think of me
     but at the same time I live to please.
I've found that I can really only rely on my family
     but my friends care far too much
          far too fleetingly.
I am blunt and will call you out on your *******
     as nicely as possible.
I can't handle tears even when they're my own
     and they always sound like
                                  short
                                                   dying
                                                                ­    gasps

         but that's what they are, right?

It's your lungs and eyes dying because your heart was too dumb to listen to your own brain.
My brain was only trying to look out for me.
I'm not sorry that I've failed it way too many times.

My mind constantly revolves around myself
     because I'm way too proud and vain
          of my way too small accomplishments.
I want to be known as Great
     and I am not ashamed to admit it.
No matter what I do
          be it the purest good or the wickedest bad
               it will be great and jaw dropping.
I am extremely conceited.
     And shallow
          And a hypocrite
               And a liar
And will always keep score
     (By the way as of 2012, I had 37 points and you 34. I'm still winning.)
But I own up to it and will always try to be better.
I am also determined
     And hardworking
          And persistent
Which means that I will get farther than most people.

In 2001 the No Child Left Behind Act was implemented in primary and secondary schools in the USA to ensure exactly what its name says.
But there are always children left behind.
     There are always people left behind
          And I will not be one of them.
And no matter how conceited and full of myself I am
     I will always find your name written in between the lines of my poetry
          whispered with every breath that I take
               crumpled on sheets of paper that I've long since thrown away

                   because every line that I wrote was never good enough for you.

The summer before my senior year
    I tried to isolate myself from my friends and family as much as possible.
Not because I was depressed
     but because I knew that I had to learn how to be happy all by myself.
I love them all to death
     but I know how much it hurts
          when you lose yourself in another person
               so much that you can't find a way out

                    or even a way to heal once you've escaped.

I'm hard to love enough as it is
     so I did it to train myself for the times in life
          when I know that I will be alone.
But I was taught that there's a difference between being alone
     and being lonely

          *so which one are you?
Really just a ramble because this started off as so many different ideas that I tried to merge into one. Not one of the greatest things that I have written.

I am from used tissues.
From toilet paper and anything within arms reach that I could use to wipe my nose.
I am from staying in the rain just so that they would never see the tears falling.
(Slowly crawling down the creases of my cheeks)

I am from the drooping old tree in the front yard
Where I would sit and stare aimlessly at the night sky
Whose leaves I can still draw in the dirt beside me.

I am from secret stashes of letters I never gave you
From Ashly and Taylor
I'm from the fake smiles and sobs behind closed doors.
From the "I love you"s and "I miss you"s I never said.

I'm from He has someone better
With yet again more tears
And tissues scattered all around the floor.
I am from endless music and long drives,
To clear my mind and help me think straight.
From the heartaches my mother suffered and being the only one to comfort her.
I am from fixing everybody's hearts but mine.

I am from the old Converse box under my bed.
Dusty and whispering my memories to all those who open it.
Baring my soul with the simple lifting of a lid.

I am from tragedies who have longed scarred my body.
From hiding my feelings to protect those around me.
From not being myself in order to be "myself"
This is something that I wrote for an assignment in my English class. It was to copy the style of the "Where I'm From" poem by George Ella Lyon.

The stars will align
The string players will go into third
The runners will be at their marks

But you and I
will never be in position
(something about how sad I am)
Angie Acuña Jul 2013
Don't bother speaking and let's just enjoy the silence.
We have to pretend its ok now and I catch you every time you lie.

You told me that I was going to change your life for the better so we did the impossible and set fire to the rain, believing that this would leave us feeling good.

"Fix a heart?", you said, "We'll for a pessimist I'm pretty optimistic, but I won't be playing god."
I still looked past your trainwreck and made a superhero out of the monster that was you.

Love drunk, I thought you would catch me, never expecting to become the warrior myself.
Now I see that in real life, we're going nowhere.
After a world of chances, we are who we are and we won't change.

I won't ask you to stay so that we can continue being something that we're not.

Don't forget us and the madhouse we created.

Now when you look up at those neon lights, remember that this?
It keeps gettin' better.

And me? I'll keep reminding myself that I'm alive.
It was on my mind to write this for a while and I finally did it~
Most of the songs are pretty obvious, I think, but if anybody wants, I would be more than happy to give a complete list :)
Angie Acuña Dec 2013
If I were to look at the world through your eyes,
What would I see?
Would spiders look the same?
All gross, fuzzy and disgusting
Or would they look cute and not gross?
I imagine that I would see music in the sky in the color red.
So much like you.
And how would I see myself?
Would I be beautiful?
Or would I be plain?
Would I be annoying
Or interesting?
Would I not be able to keep your eyes off of me?
Because I know that's what happens to me.
I want to know if you see me the same way that I see you:
*Perfect.
I've had this sitting around for a while.

— The End —
