Meeting you made me wish the others never existed

Untitled
Scarlet A Mar 21
I am conflicted
Between the hands that built my home and the arms that feel like it
Between the walls that watched me grow and the city that feeds me
I am conflicted
Between the home I've always known and the one that feels like my own
Between noisy dinners and slow mornings
I am conflicted

Love
Scarlet A Mar 21
Love wasn't what I expected
It didn't look the same as I imagined
It was different
Lighter
Instead of racing heartbeats it was steady
It did not burn instead it soothed
Love wasn't what I expected
But it was what I needed

Scarlet A Jul 2023
You and I exist in summers only
We were made for
Sunny days and long nights
Endless laughter and play fights
Not dreary mondays and monotonous nights
Or difficult decisions and big fights
We exist in road trips and little blips
In the holes of reality that don't last very long
Only in summers we belong

Strangers
Scarlet A Jan 2023
We came here as strangers
And left as friends
Only to come back
As strangers once again

Your single flaw
Is the embodiment of my only fear

Scarlet A Jan 2023
I walked away
I turned around
And still
I keep running right back

Senseless
Scarlet A Jan 2023
How is it that we made so much sense
Without making any sense at all

Just because I don't wear my heart on my sleeve
Doesn't mean it isn't there

Tell me how can I hold you together
When I'm the reason you're falling apart

It's an odd feeling
When last week we were laughing
Now we're not even talking

How is it possible
That I was the only person you looked at
Now you're not looking at all
How did we get here?

Scarlet A Apr 2022
I'm sorry
I took all of you
When I knew I'd never give any of me back
And I'm sorry I was too selfish to stop sooner

Hurt
Scarlet A Apr 2022
I didn't realise I was hurting you
Until it was too late
I'm sorry I wasn't as good to you as you were to me

Did I realise how little I actually felt for you

Sorry

I'm sorry my scars keep me from loving you
I'm sorry your past keeps on ripping them open

You'd give me the world if I'd let you
But it isn't mines to take

just maybe
the universe is trying to tell us something
and maybe I want to listen

Wasted Mistakes
Scarlet A Aug 2021
I've already made the mistake of falling for someone I knew I couldn't have
But now
I wish I saved that mistake for you
I wasted my mistakes on the wrong person

All those poems
Scarlet A Apr 2020
I read them
And I want to delete it
All those words
Those beautiful words
I can't stand it
No longer understand it
Those feelings too far away
That person too long gone
And now I realize
I was never really over it
Until I stopped writing poetry about you

Or Well Maybe
Scarlet A Jan 2020
Nothing ever happened with us
Well it almost did
Or maybe it didn't
I'm never really sure
You never really said so
But then neither did I
That's all over now
It doesn't really matter
Except it does
Because I fell so fast
So hard
For so long
And then nothing
Or everything but still
Nothing
Now I know I'm lucky
Or well I think I am
We weren't meant to be anyway
That I know
Now that I'm sure of
But you still left a scar
Or maybe I did that
But it's there
And now I'm scared
I'm scared I'll fall in love
Again
So fast
So hard
For so long
With the wrong guy
Again
Because I can't explain it
I don't know why
Or maybe I do
But it doesn't matter
Because I fell for you
And you were wrong
I thought you were right
I was right
But you were wrong
And I still fell
But I've clawed myself out of it
Or maybe I haven't
But all of it wasn't me
Or maybe it was
I never thought so
Neither did my friends
Because I never just fell
So fast
So hard
For so long
But I did
For you
And I don't want to do it again
But maybe I will
And maybe he'll be right
But he could be wrong
Then he'll walk away before any real damage
Like you did
Except obviously there was still damage
But then maybe he won't
Because then
What if I fall in love
Again
With the wrong guy
So fast
So hard
For so long
And he doesn't walk away

Before
Scarlet A Oct 2019
I was cool
Sensible really
But then I fell in love
And now I'm just a hopeless romantic
