Hello My Old Friend
Selena Ybarra Jan 2018
Today,
Its thick and gloomy outside as it seem to wearing away
The sun shines through the cracked window pain.
Sun come bring a joyful day.
The smiles and laughter of knee high children as they play.
Oh my depression has faded away.
Hello happiness, my old friend.

Tonight
Selena Ybarra Jan 2018
It's hollow
Too many times I swallowed hard
I was so nervous
Hoping he'll smile back at me
Weather or not he does or even notice I exist
I hope I don't lose my mind
At least not tonight

If Only You Were Mine
Selena Ybarra Jun 2015
Hurts to see him smile as he seems to be happy without me
I sit and wait for him to come back to me but there's nothing I can do right now
I have that gut feeling that he's hurting and longing for me
The feelings I get from him and the mixed signs
Yet all he can say is
"I'm sorry, but I don't feel that way."
But when his actions speak otherwise I started to see his love for her is no longer deep.
He knows I know he's trying to get my attention
yet I feel the need to push him away to save him
Maybe he's hurting and hiding his pain as much as I am
Is she the reason this happened?
Why hasn't she satisfied him when all he seeks is true love?
He's not who he use to be because of me
Sobbing and heartbroken you hear them say
"He's not a man. He's a waste of space!"
But they're wrong I say even if I was his prey
I still found myself loving you to this day
But that doesn't mean a thing to them
We all know the truth will come to the surface and
If only he understood my love
We wouldn't be here, pretending to follow the rest of the sheep
He's not alright I see it in his eyes but yet he tells her "Don't worry. I'm fine."
I know he's lying and running from the tabooed beliefs that were instilled in him
To keep him from loving me
Since the last time, he asked if I was alright.
All I could say was "Yes, I'm fine"
I'm not, not right now, at least
I still wipe tears from my eyes
Wishing that you had stopped them from denying what you felt for me
You should have pushed her away as she was placed to keep you in control
And now I hope you think to yourself when you hear my name
"By God if only...
If only you were mine..."

October's Warm night
Selena Ybarra Feb 2015
Late on an October night
I sat on the grass as windblown through my hair.
I watched the stars and listen to the whisper of the trees.
I smile and think What a dark, warm night
As the howls of the wind were interrupted by my phone
An unknown number comes across
but I answered it anyway
A person I did not know called to say they were not okay
They dialed a random number and were afraid
I did not hang up, I could not let go.
We talk through the night.
As I walked up the hill and down the meadow
On this lovely warm night, I entered my home and sat alone.
The person's voice cracked with pain asking me to stay on the phone
I cupped my hand and whisper It's okay, you're not alone.
Late on an October night
I helped a stranger with their fight

The darkest hour
Selena Ybarra Feb 2015
My lies and my story.
My pain, and my life.
The darkest hour is when I was at my worst,
when I was  down on my knees.
Now I'm weak and in my darkest hour.
To many people in my ear, and on my back.
The darkest hour the warmest night.
I have no time to love but I lost my trust in *you

Altering
Selena Ybarra Feb 2015
I wasn't sure where to go,
wasn't sure what to say
after all this time I just can't get over the
Changing?
Adjustment?
Modify?
I can't get over it...
not like this, not so easily like you did!
The Altering, the big move... it's not me!
The love I had for you, did it ever exist?
Was your love for me a lie?
Unstable?
Wavering?
Shall I just fade away?
Sort of like you did?

Two AM
Selena Ybarra Nov 2014
It's two am and I am wide awake
Waiting for the sun before I fade away
I feel Numb I think to myself
As I sit in the silence I hate, I think of the one
The one I let in told my all secrets and darkest fears to
Told him the times I've cried and the times I laughed.
Looking back at the memories of him and I
All I can do is lay here and feel my heart die.
Almost a year later and still I have not gotten accustomed to the space we no longer share
It brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart to lay and reminisce
Watching the clock as it ticks away and I realized one thing
I am not alone, he is still here in memories I will always find him
In my heart, I carry a picture of him and in my soul, I carry our memories.
After all this time you're still with me.
I tried to let you go, but somehow you're locked somewhere deep inside.
Two am and soon will fall asleep
I know I will dream of him
Funny how I miss you every second of the day
Yet it always hits me hard at two am

Perfect
Selena Ybarra Mar 2014
How could you think that you are worthless?
How could you think that you have nobody?
How could you think that you are imperfect?
You,my friend, you  are perfect to me.
