A Sun's Halloween
Cloaked in a tapestry of evening sky
I dim my light to hide amongst the masses
If only for one night

Armstrong Landed
Armstrong landed
Icarus burned
Some find love
Some just hurt...

I've vanished friends like fogotten shipwrecks for the treasures that lay within.

From the Depths
Maybe they were right, maybe I am crazy
And what else could possibly be done
When so many of my friends fought the oceans depths
And the oceans have always won

Now its my turn to slay the beast
Beneath the endless blue
Maybe I'll emerge victorious
Maybe I'll get to see you...


-For Etika and Javier
The ocean represents depression, and though two of the three people this is dedicated to drowned in some body of water, depression quite literally killed all of them.

And they were my friends...

The second part is about me wanting to dive into the same ocean that Etika did, to see if I could survive what he did not, while simultaneously hoping that I don't for the possibility of seeing him again.

Words, I guess
I come here to become undone
My words like fingers pulling at loose threads
Until its all out there, in ribbons and shambles
A relatably undiscernible mess.

Relapse
SomebodyProbably Sep 2023
I've tried all kinds of ****
Lord knows I'm an addict
But nothing quite hits
Like you

On the Rocks
SomebodyProbably Mar 2021
Your lips are like ***** on ice
I'll sip on your bitter disposition
For as long as you make me feel warm inside

Forward
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
Caterpillars evolve into butterflies
And my pen will soon stop writing your name
Life is hard but the one constant
is that nothing ever stays the same.

Frostwalker
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
"Sometimes you have to be cold in order to be safe"
And that's just what I'll do
Cloaked in snow
Memories in tow
I'll forge this path anew

GM's Gambit
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
You're upset because I don't like you,
but I'm just playing the game.
I've learned from the best
and now the rest
will surely learn the same.
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
Sometimes I wish memories were water soluble
That these tears might wash them away
But try as I might
This clouded mind
Is where these memories choose to stay

Can I tell you a secret?
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
Sometimes...
I talk to the moon
And tell it all the things that I can't say to him...
He always used to call me his sun

Hero(ine)
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
I've hit you up so many times
My veins collapse and still I find
another to shoot what you now sparingly give
You say you're dry, but I know I'm just not your type

of customer

Stars
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
You cannot acknowledge the constellations without tracing through the darkness between the stars.
My kind is celestial, interstellar, cosmic,
but my kind is also in perpetual darkness, trying desperately to shine bright enough to make a difference
It's hard when you aren't able to see your own light
Sometimes we just have to look at each other
A distant reminder that we are still alive
That we are parts of a whole
And bright enough to be seen
Feb 2021 · 629
Near-sight
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
I am so much more than what I see
I just wish that was something I could truly believe.
Feb 2021 · 860
Celestials
SomebodyProbably Feb 2021
Though both were born of cosmic flame
They fought too much for both were the same
And so they split night from day
So the other may always have their way...

But the cosmic ties that bond their hearts
Could never truly be pulled apart
So once in a blue moon, and every other red sun
The sky becomes dark...and the two become one.

Eclipse
SomebodyProbably Dec 2020
Dawn to each other, we overlap
A darkness the world waited to see

Now they wait, again, for another show
While I simply await your return to me.
He is my moon and I am his sun
In my folly I should have kept in mind,
The two were never meant to merge
An eclipse is just a show for the eyes...

And then its done.

Seasoned Gambler
SomebodyProbably Dec 2020
Its unfair to be born the way I am,

But I can't claim to be good at card games,

If I'm unable to play the hand I was dealt.

I Was Born Broken
SomebodyProbably Dec 2020
I break again to be mended differently
But everything's the same
There's nothing that can fix me
And somehow I'm to blame
First line was borrowed from another poet, the last 3 are the fruits of that line's inspiration.

A Bitter Chase
SomebodyProbably Dec 2020
I used to chase you
now I chase my *****

Chronically Lovesick
SomebodyProbably Nov 2020
The weight of my love
Is not your burden to carry
Just as you are not obligated
To be burned by my eternal passions flame
But I wish you would anyway </3

SomebodyProbably Nov 2020
Now carry your heart
For its apart of our time
A mosaic of parts
Made from peices of mine

Sentient Sun
SomebodyProbably Nov 2020
They tell us to be brighter than the darkness that surrounds us
But what of the ever encroaching darkness that lies just within?
SomebodyProbably Nov 2020
Depression is the gateway drug

Because I'll try anything
Absolutely anything
To make this feeling stop

Quicksand
SomebodyProbably Jan 2020
Lost in my thoughts but my mind is too slow
In these quicksand memories, my hearts the first to go

and the rest of me follows

SomebodyProbably Jan 2020
I miss him

But I miss the him that used to look at me, and saw nothing less than his galaxy.
I have so much love in my heart for you, all I can do is write about it.
Jan 2020 · 132
Uneven
SomebodyProbably Jan 2020
And if you just hurt me this could be easy
But you've been nothing but true
Your truth is just that you don't love me
Nearly as much as I've loved you

And so I have to go.
He invades every piece of my writing, and I can't help but be inspired by the way he marches through my psyche.

You'll do anything for my love

Except love me...

SomebodyProbably Jul 2019
Our hearts fall apart
And we fumble with our lives
But fret not weary soldier
It be like that sometimes

High Tide
SomebodyProbably Jul 2019
Your breathlessness was the wind beneath my sails that helped me coast these waters

But the tide is high

You've caught your breath

And it threatens to take me under
May 2019 · 233
(In)Vulnerable
SomebodyProbably May 2019
If I let you hold me close

You might feel where I've fallen apart

Those seams that seem invisible

The weakest of my spots
Apr 2019 · 188
Treason
SomebodyProbably Apr 2019
You invade my mental with an army of my thoughts
The sharpest memories forged with you in mind
I gave them to you to fight your old demons
Who would have guessed you'd turn into mine
Mar 2019 · 319
Jane
SomebodyProbably Mar 2019
You're akin to the way smoke settles in still air
It lingers for a bit and then you'd never know it was there

"Rover"
SomebodyProbably Feb 2019
I relate, Rover.

My battery too, is low.

And it is getting dark

But it will be

Okay

"No One is Kind"
SomebodyProbably Jan 2019
In a club full of diamonds, the queen sets herself apart
Wary of the way these kings take spades to hearts
Some more wordplay

(Title is also wordplay here.)

Bleeding Out
SomebodyProbably Jan 2019
Hemorrhaging life
This heartbeat of mine dims with each passing night
I'm broken and I need mending
But I feel like the last one alive
And if I can't escape the confines of my mind
I'll be dead by daylight.
Wordplay featuring one of my favorite Horror Games.

Modern Medicine
SomebodyProbably Dec 2018
I've yet to forget the words to this song, and it echoes in the now empty spaces of my mind. Yeah you ****** me up, and I haven't been sober nearly long enough to find the time. I would relapse and forget the man I was if I could be the guy who knew how to make everything fine. But instead I'll find a different drug...and forget what was surely never mine.

Planetary Nebula
SomebodyProbably Jul 2018
“It was supposed to be a rebirth, then why do I feel this way?
Perhaps I’m dead to even the stars, and there’s nothing left to say”
"In the phases of a dying sun, a planetary nebula occurs when the sun finally reaches the end of its life. It expands and scatters across the galaxy before losing all of its light."

Yesterday
SomebodyProbably Jun 2018
I'm feeling nostalgic, but we're only a few moments in.
I guess something's missing, and I'm wondering where you've been.
I'm good at writing sad things
Apr 2018 · 226
Shiver
SomebodyProbably Apr 2018
I call her "Shiver" for the way she makes me feel
Cold but exhilarating like the harshest winter
And it creeps beneath my skin when I draw her in
Her merest touch cold make my skin splinter

SomebodyProbably Mar 2018
When I'm with you, the dissonance in my heart turns to harmony. Yet, when we're apart, its quite the contrary.

Stars and Supernovas
SomebodyProbably Mar 2018
The lights around me aren't as bright
As the light that I have inside
Yet I feel blind...
maybe it's myself I cant find.
Because everything around me is perfect in its flaws
Worn adhesive, I try to stick to life but I fall.
I wish could just disintigerate into ash and be everywhere
With everyone
Whilst simultaneously being nothing at all
Mar 2018 · 351
Time
SomebodyProbably Mar 2018
I can’t shake this feeling

That everything is fleeting

Like sand through my lips

And I’m just a glass

With no chance to flip

"My thoughts are like paper
Most days, I slide them through the shredder so no one can see. Maybe its just me, but I can't always speak what I think. I mean, I doubt anyone is even listening. Maybe I just need brighter ink."
