Masked love
crybaby Aug 2022
When you lay at night, I know you think of me. I know this because I think of you too
Or am I delusional?
Is the way you look at me fraud?
Do your eyes lie?
U know my truth, but yours is so hard to know
Your mask is frightening but natural and real-looking that I’m starting to believe I only thought it was in fact a mask
Is this a ball? Since we both know I wear a mask too
I explain mine to you though, why I wear it
but you stay silent and I stay confused
If you don’t truly love me, I should go
If it really is just a party, and this is not just a mask, I’ll remove mine  
If you don’t think of me at night or in the morning, if the way you look at me is fraud, if your eyes lie, then I’ll stop my front
But if you do, I’ll glue my mask on until we can finally reveal our faces and dance.

Like the stars
So far away

lost man
crybaby Nov 2020
when his uncle died
a piece of him died too
he faded away with his soul
I pray he will be whole
I pray he finds a new guide
unfortunately, this is the result of a homicide

what is this?
crybaby Nov 2020
Are we living to be sad?
all ive ever felt lately, was mad
im losing touch
and I don't have much
I have enough money
yet I am still poor
I can't do this anymore

Russian Roulette
crybaby Nov 2020
spin the barrel
this is not a Christmas carol
I think that's one, let me shoot
let me take his life
he has nothing to lose, he has no wife
he's just a foe, that I must execute

sleep paralysis
crybaby May 2020
pierced, my eyes wonder
falling to sleep is now a blunder
as evil comes closer, I struggle to scream
I pray that it's all just a dream

upon mobility I will be forgiving
these hallucinations are hidden
in a place in which the living
should be forever forbidden

while illusions roam at night
I repeatedly dread my lack of a fight  
losing sleep in fear
whatever is in the dark is near

Unique
crybaby May 2020
to share personal art we all unite
we are unseen, nevertheless understood
we pour our love, fears, desires and fights
in a distinctive manner only one could

haiku: lost friends
crybaby May 2020
facing nostalgia

we will never see again

farewell my good friend
I once made friends with an older deaf lady while in the hospital for a month. When I was leaving, she called me to her room and expressed that she would miss me. She gave me her nursing home number and said she would soon get out too. I called a few times and no one answered, unfortunately later I lost the number. I wonder how she is doing, I miss her.

floating
crybaby May 2020
land is no where in sight
I am lost in a sea of deep, dark indigo water

flesh eating sharks surround my boat
I am unable to paddle away

where is dry land
and how did I get here

fluent passion
crybaby Apr 2020
gloomy sentiments flood my sea
nostalgic remembrance lingers
solo pienso en ti

deception camouflaged by roses
intimidated my sight, but
aun me acuerdo de los poses

ninguno lo ase como tu
I weep as I listen to the
phonograph that spins the blues

he doesn't love me back
crybaby Apr 2020
entwined in the altogether
he calls me baby

we soul kiss as he caresses my complexion
he embraces me, I discern I am his
during the passion, he is mine

sundered, endearment is bygone
our romance is maybe
disoriented and forsaken, my days are now rainy

It’s Okay
crybaby Jan 2020
Dust falls slowly
I blow it away
As I lay staring at the wall

I need you to hold me closely
I wish you would stay
I hope you will call
And tell me everything’s gonna be ok

The Wait
crybaby Jan 2020
As the midnight snows
my desire to be
another's grows
to be as beautiful
as a rose
seems to be my new pose
I'll sit here waiting
for my love, at last, to show
that true love is not just something that I suppose

How I Used To
crybaby Jan 2020
Oh, I used to love you
to lay in your arms
how you held me so tight
soon fell apart
how leaves fall from a tree
love needs to restart
leaves are stepped on and they crumble
the way they disintegrate, is like my heart

Hopeless
crybaby Jan 2020
I ponder on the fictional love
that splatters on the television
as my tears spill because I will never
experience that love
I am not in a movie

Party
crybaby Dec 2019
To dance the night away
is my new favorite thing
the flashing lights, the whisky in my breath  
and the man attempting to dance
all excite me
I escape into the night
and I forget the truth
I never want to leave
You will find me at the club, now every single week
Dec 2019 · 202
Desire
crybaby Dec 2019
I want so bad to be with you
You say you want the same
But every time we’re together
You cause me so much pain

I want so bad for things to work
Despite what people say
I love you more than ever
But all you cause is hate

Game
crybaby Dec 2019
Frightened by my own actions
Why am I this way?
I sleep with you
I sleep with him
To keep the worries away
And while I know
The feeling won’t last
I beg for it to stay
Because I’d rather be
With you
Or with him
Than in my own dismay

Suicide

Jump into the lake
The voices say
He’s waiting for you, Grim
He says:
Jump, you can’t swim

Disorder
crybaby Dec 2019
Too tired to get out of bed
The bathroom is too far
Let me lay
Let me day dream
Let me sleep
Concentration at lowest bar
Untouched pile of work
Looser fit in my jeans
Thoughts consume my head
Get me out of this scene

Loss
crybaby Dec 2019
New loss is about
Abandoned in the cold
Culpable for lack of independence
I anticipated to fold

Lying here without you
Seems to help me mold
Into a deep serenity
Of when my youth was told

Help

Into a deep abyss I sink
Struggling to cope
Consuming alcohol, I need to drink
I dream to float

A loud cry pervades the room
The undisclosed will be revealed
Taken from the womb to heal
New beginnings we feel

It Gets Worse
crybaby Aug 2019
day by day
night by night
I pray to the skies
my life is not a lie
to feel happier
is in none of the stars
yet alone beyond that
for that, the unknown,
is similar to my life
day by day
night by night
I ponder on the realities
that are daunting
they may be frightening
but to not know
is worse
May 2019 · 269
Knot I
crybaby May 2019
Despair maintains
To linger through daily life
Tears roll down
Life is
beautiful
Yet I am miserable
Will I escape the reality
That has become true
Or am I soon due?

Face is numb, tears still manage
Soon is a new day

Kissed
crybaby Feb 2019
You kissed me so tenderly
You held my face
Your lips so soft
Your saliva leaving a trace

On my lips that trembled
As a result of emotion
My heart beat fast
My hands began to sweat

When I opened my eyes
Yours were not closed
You kissed me so tenderly
In such a pose

Normal
crybaby Feb 2019
No words left
how to feel
what to do
I am everything normal
but
the thoughts in my head
and
the empty feeling in my stomach
consume who I am

The Fallen
crybaby Feb 2019
Once on high grounds
not caring about a thing
now, I crave to be found
and care too much about everything

Once young and blind
now, I want to shine
but, I'm lost in my thoughts
I'm trying to escape
I can hear them calling
so I keep falling

Lost
crybaby Jan 2019
I wear a fake smile
I want to rest for a while
I’m always so tired
Should I start getting wired?
I don’t want to get fired
From life
One day I want to be a wife
I want to live my life
I want to end this fight
That goes on in my mind
I want to feel normal
how do I begin
I feel so lost
Someone please tell me the cost
I can’t escape my thoughts
They’re bringing me down
inside I frown
I feel trapped
I want to be zapped
Into a better life, right now
I want to end it with a knife
And escape my thoughts
I want to end all my cries
I’m so tired of trying
I’m so tired of lying
I feel like dying

Ultimately
crybaby Jan 2019
What is life?
There really is no hype
At the end
We all die
And all others do
Is cry

Introvert
crybaby Jan 2019
Everything stays inside
The people don’t need to see the darkness
What is the point of showing it when no one will be able to brighten it?
There will never be a door
Or a window for light to come in
The darkness will always defeat the little light there is
I have to stay true to myself and pick myself up
Because my darkness will never
Meet the sunlight
No matter where it’s from.

— The End —
