banana milk
CupcakesArePink Jan 2021
light yellow and then some
a little extra i know
this isn't real flavoring

you don't get to question it
if you aren't even real with me

headphones
CupcakesArePink Jan 2021
i wear headphones
it doesnt matter

if theyre wired or bluetooth
if its on max volume or not

the music drowns everything out
and keeps the vault under control

thank you garden
CupcakesArePink Jan 2021
i would hang out in your little cottage
as trees swayed in the wind
humming our song, laughing at the end

my lap was your pillow
as we talked with our friends
and the scent of dewdropped flowers tickled our noses

no chaos, just contentment
full of promises and love
the warmth of the sun in spring
in little thank you garden

will it still welcome me when i come home?
CupcakesArePink Dec 2020
My sunset begins as yours comes up
I sip my wine slowly, knowing you’re downing your whiskey at 6 in the morning
The tub of ice cream from last night has melted away
So why can’t you?

This city of lights blinds me, a nice distraction
But I have to run, I have to keep running
Because my demons have your beautiful smile
And I can’t help but stare with melancholy in my heart

My sleepless nights are invaded by your chocolate eyes and velvet lips
If I’m honest, that button on my phone taunts me
It begs me to call, send a text
But I don’t

I don’t and I won’t
You had let go first and danced our dance with your little noelle
O how jolly you must’ve been, staring into her starry eyes
So even if I miss you, I won’t

So I sip my wine slowly as you down your whiskey at 6 in the morning
These devils smile your smile and I look away
I move forward, melancholy and anger and hopefulness without you fuelling me
I hope you miss me as much as I do. But sometimes I don’t

you/i made sure of that
CupcakesArePink Nov 2020
you wont talk to me anymore. i made sure of that

you wont ever see me dance in up(r)ple rain
or the way my eyes glint in the setting sun
(y)ou wont catch our scent of coffee
or feel the soft lingering of my h(a)nd
you wont taste the cherry o(n) my lips
or hear my unfinished lullaby

you wont talk to me anymore. you made sure of that too.

(you) *******, you(h)eartbreaking familiar stranger
take it all back
(u)nset ou(r) da(t)e and senti(me)nts
(take it all back)

reversed roles

Ghosts are for disappearing and appearing

Humans are for accompanying

Little did i know the roles are reversed

skin picking
CupcakesArePink Oct 2020
i take deep breaths and pick at my skin

to remind the demons that they wont win

i rather keep quiet and cry

than lie about not wanting to die

i pick at my skin rather than shout

as the evil red comes out

can someone find me and give me bandages?

CupcakesArePink Oct 2020
glad to know you are yourself again
im not.
glad to know you have a shoulder to cry on
i dont.
good to know someone is there to check up on you.
no one does that for me
all of you have all that

because you have me

snake lover

you told me you didn't like snakes
so why the hell did i find out


you went looking for them in afternoons
while i had my back turned?

first few letters
CupcakesArePink Oct 2020
knowing the shadows are there
insisting that they are not
love has left me
love has left me lost

make me happy again, im begging
end this sadness before it ends me

ghost
CupcakesArePink Oct 2020
and i know one day you'll forget about me
i bet you're all already doing it

i'll be a distant memory
a nostalgic song

you'll remember my rights
and whatever went wrong

but be wary o, you familiar stangers
be wary of my ghost

because i may be gone
but i'll haunt you til the day you cease breathing

september
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
i dislike September
because i remember
the scent of coffee and the warmth you gave

i dislike Wednesday
because you asked me to stay
and i was willing

now the leaves are falling
and its getting cold
i'll get what you stole back

i may hate september because i remember
and hate wednesday because i chose to stay
but this time around you wont have it your way

mustard
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
i was like mustard, you said
a nice shade of yellow
a complimentary condiment to you

the spice you wanted in your life
but you wanted only a little bit of me
because a lot of me was too much for you

and you decided then and there
as you walked away in the vast kitchen
that i was too much for you
too much mustard, he mumbled.

his pain
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
his pain, a spiral.
coiling and tightening, confusing and suffocating
his pain was a sweet illusion
his pain was for me
but
i cannot bare his pain any longer
Sep 2020 · 388
hand
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
an approval or disappointment
to direction or accusation
****** to the public
a vow of borderline forever
at last a promise to never be broken
In the palm of the one who has never spoken

ghost
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
i am forever, cursed to never age
the death i have to repeat
is the heartbreak you've given me

you can choose to ignore me
but you know i am there
lingering softly, longing for the beat of my own chest

i am a ghost
plagued to haunt you forever
as much as you haunt me

is this what you wanted?

horse shit.
CupcakesArePink Sep 2020
its hard to believe when they tell me that i will be missed
if it were, random days would be full of conversations

you have grown weary of my constant "hello"s
and you have proven that my point correct

the loneliness has welcomed me back
laughing at my ambition of attaining companionship

no one misses me
that's a bunch of horse ****.
i feel alone. the end.

in love with your voice
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
deep as the ocean
soft and warm like mornings

sweet tones like chocolate
wrap me up and pull me in

these tones and octaves
how beautiful, these sounds

im in love with your voice

peppermint tea
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
i sip this peppermint tea
and i remember yours lips

warm and minty
making me feel soft and tingly

a feeling i wish would never end
feeling so lovely with the time that we spend

i sip this peppermint tea and i remember you
its gone cold now

boomerang
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
my poems
they weren't enough
to make you stay

it's fine, you'll come back
your feelings will boomerang

maybe not now
but perhaps someday

ugly?
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
my insides are rotting
my teeth have fallen out
my head is balding
im ugly, no one would love me

yet theres always that one person
who thinks your beautiful
despite being so flawed
be that person to someone

and both of you might find love
Beauty love find rot ugly flaws

stockholm
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
im free
im free from your chains and demands

but why do i feel hallow
what did you do to me?

everyone is a blur
and my mind works mechanically like clockwork

i end up reading our messages
i end up conjuring your scent

my mind draws places we've been on sketchpads
and my eyes look for the shade of your eyes

i wake up to the illusion of your arms around mine
and my lips tickle from lips that aren't there anymore

my mind is racing because there's no one to talk to
there's no one as interesting as you

what have you done to me?
why do i want to be your victim again?

lets fall in love again
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
come take my hand
lets try this again

i cant dance this waltz without you
who knows maybe its worth a try?

we were young and rushed things
can we have a re-do?

can you let me stare into those obsidian eyes
and you stare back at mine

can we have those late night talks
and sip those drinks at the cafè we always go to?

can we try and reconnect our souls
put the spark back to where it left?

even if its just tonight
can we fall in love again?

can we?

toxic
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
inhale the deadly dark purple fumes
that make my head spin

lure with those chocolate eyes
the very ones i love looking in

plant a kiss on my lips
the very ones that make that sly grin

you make me plunge into your twisted sludge
your deadly concotions cause me to sin

im dancing with the devil
but i love the moves too much to cease

i am dazed by your deadly loveliness
this is making me sick

i should stop
but i dont

give me your toxic
the sweet spell you have me under

pink yellow blue
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
i like pink

soft as a baby
delicate and precious
smiles so warm like the setting sun
a rose in a thorny garden

i like yellow

oh how fun are their quirks
a mix and match of many things
oh the joy yellow brings
a symphony in my ears when they sing

i like blue

like the oceans and the seas
a calm sky and deep tones
calm and mysterious
endless tranquility and ferocity that sets the skin on flames

i like pink yellow and blue
i like all the colors
i like all the hues

i like pink yellow and blue
how about you?
Mar 2020 · 349
talk?
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
can we talk?
no, you're busy

you need a favor?
course, i'll be there in a jiffy

pushing and pulling me
like you're waves dragging me everywhere

i love you
but i can't keep up with you doing me like this

can we talk?
can we?

i am human
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
i am but a human
can you love me as i am?

i have these demons, vile and viscious
can you handle them?

if i lay myself down
would you admire the scars and imperfections that my body bares?

if i pour out by heart and unleash my soul
would you cherish it all?

if i was miles away
would my words and my best be enough to make you stay?

will you accompany me
on my crazy antics

will you hold me
in my times of sorrowful blue?

will you stand with me, side by side
as i watch the world turn from each beautiful hue?

will you forgive me for the pain i may cause?
or for the burdens i may accidentally give?

i am only human
viscious yet kind

can you still love me as i am
no matter what may be my state of mind?

wishes
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
There are so many things I wish for
Its a very long list

I wish I had more time
But time is not anyone's friend

I wish I was taller
But I always fall short

I wish I had more
But I always lack

I wish for a smile on my face
But all thats there are tears

I wish I didn't have to leave
But you know it was for the better

I wish I could reach out to you
But will you take my hand?

I wish I could be there
But I am oceans away

I wish, I wish
I can only wish

I wish you the happiest of happiness
The kind where you don't have to tear me apart

My Yellow
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
My yellow my yellow
So calm and mellow
Like the sunflowers in the meadow

My yellow my yellow
So safe and warm
My haven is my yellow, it keeps me from harm

My yellow my yellow
They took away my yellow
I feel bruised and broken, where is my yellow?

My yellow my yellow
Where is my yellow?
I'll bring back my own yellow soon

- untitled number 1 -
CupcakesArePink Mar 2020
A good morning to my night, how is everthing?

Lets talk?
Maybe not, you're busy now
Why else would you ignore me?

You've left me with the feelings we swore to protect
So precious, so fragile
Or are all these just mine?

Conceal all these unsaid words
Because all I get are more questions
Piecing together someone who cant piece themselves

You're unfair
Speaking when youre in the mood
Pulling my strings, like its just fine

You caused me to feel these
You promised and you broke it
Yet i understood

You've left me in confusion
Resorting to facades to hide the pain
Do you not want me to experience happiness?

Do you not care?
I cant even ask you myself
Because I'll get more confused

I love you, its true
But i cant keep loving you when youre in that state
You'll **** us both with the stunts you're pulling

Are you insane?
Or is it me?
Or are we both mad, thinking we're okay

Yes, I miss when you were mine.

But letting you go is my way of saying i love you
Because its whats best
Have you ever thought of that for me?

How very lucky
For you to have someone who you can break twice
Its me, right?

But am i fortunate enough?
Im not calling out to you anymore
I need to heal from all the wounds you never tended to


Good night to your morning, please let me rest from the havoc that is you.

— The End —
