Nightmares
Cylia Aug 2018
Why do I struggle in bed?
I feel like my body wants to jump out of my skin.
Why do we think about things?
That makes our brain wants to jump out of our heads.
Lost in my thoughts, all of my patience          and waiting
and waiting for you to come in.
I don’t want to be here, not even hell could create a cage that can hold all my sins.
Why do I struggle in bed?
By the way how my covers look, seems I was dancing instead.

All of these strings,
Abandoning me.
        Tucked away, stored
         Creating new ways they can trigger me.
                Into thinking
                    I’m  breaking
           And yet create tangles inside of me.
Why do I struggle in bed?
     Why must you make nightmares out of rawness and sweat?
         Everynight I wake up, it’s like my body is soaked.
                           Drenched.
Why do I...why do I... keep having nightmares in bed?

Wings
Cylia Aug 2018
With every sleep I find amusingly pleasing, lost in my dreams stuck in it like a coma, wondering if I ever want to wake back up and deal with reality instead of in a fantasy.

My eyes closed shut not wanting to open, everyone seems worried but I seem perfectly fine, seems I’m stuck in a daydream filled with all kinds of my long lost memories.

Everywhere I look seems dark,
No dreams no nightmares just blank.
No unicorns or rainbows,
No devils nor angels,
That all I see now is pitch black.

Am I dead or alive?
No demon tail no halo,
Bedroom eyes, I’m falling,
Away from the pitch black night in the sky
And on the other side, a light.
My other side, I see her.
White flowing hair, brown eyes.
No face, but pure glow reflecting my soul.

We’re both floating,
Looking so closely,
Mirroring the other like she’s the second half of my body.
Two souls touching, reflecting one another
By the time she opened her mouth to speak, I woke up not able to blink.

Waiting
Cylia Aug 2018
You keep your life on a pedestal,
Even when the love of your life is beside you...

Why is it every time I hid from my feelings,
I trip away, I hide, I even start to cry?
But every night I sleep, I get visions every week,
About him, and then I become scared.
My flame, he ignites it
Even when he stares deep into my eyes, my sockets
My heart starts to race, my body deflates...why am I feeling this way?

My stomach is filled with butterflies like my whole world has exhausted, like my whole life was on pause
Being trapped inside a box,
With no doorway that leads to anything,
That would turn my whole life upside down into something.

Every time I see him, my heart starts to melt,
My life starts to crumble, but the walls, they stay intact...
They won’t move, but there’s a door...
Whenever I step near, it’s like another person is on the other side, ...scared.
So, it’s about a girl(me) whose afraid to show her feelings to a guy that she really likes, but doesn’t know if he feels the same way for her.  So she’s hiding all these feelings that she feels towards him, but what she doesn’t know is that the other person on the other side of the wall is afraid of what she might think of him...if that made any sense.

All These Feelings
Cylia Sep 2018
All these feelings in my head,
All these words left unsaid,
All of these memories with you in it, how can I ever forget.
All I see are fragments and pictures that clouds my judgements instead.
How can I be so worried?
When all I see is your face,
Clouding every shattered piece, a cold stare is left in your place.

All these feelings like lava,
Erupts when needed to burst
All of these feelings I can’t control,
And yet you’re the one holding my soul.
It glows a vibrant violet blue,
And while you hold onto mines,
I’m snuggling onto yours like an icy shield or more like an igloo.

All these feelings held by your warm embrace
tucking me away,
Forehead kisses telling all I need to know, that you got me, protected by your arms,
In a closed box, where no one can hurt me.

Leave the Negativity
Cylia Aug 2018
The devil is weak,
Trying to speak.
I don’t believe-That the words that he say,
Can keep me upbeat,
And could really delete,
Me, from this world that I hate, but also love, till the day I leave,
Then I’ll soon be complete. More than free.

I leave it be.
For when I do speak,
that all of these words are orderly said and doesn’t cause havoc and destruction that clumps up inside my head.

INFJ
Cylia Mar 2019
my heart that is pained,
all of these hate that I have obtained,
what do you see, that I clearly do not,
that causes everyone around me to break, crack, snap?
Fear me not, that I am not cold,
I am not bitter, nor tainted nor stained,
I am but kind, sweet, and loyal,
but twist my words around and I promise I won't bottle.
Bottle it up inside that's been wanting out,
Bottle up inside that even demons can't fight,
Bottled up inside that leaves the angels alone,
not even you could tame my differences nor lift me from my throne.

Have You Ever...
Cylia Apr 2019
Have you ever had a dream where it was nothing but darkness? Nothing just nada that you knew it was over?
Have you ever been so broken to where you were more than being done? Like all the walls that you can ever think of, broke away by a single touch?
Have you ever seen someone that you thought was going to last forever? But he didn’t wanna get to know you because your personality shifted courses?
Have you ever wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come out? All the emotions you try to hold back trying to not think about the cause?
Have you ever been an INFJ where nobody knows what you’re thinking? Caught between two mirrors, one of them happy and the other just mad?
Have you ever been in any of those situations that caused you any grief? Cause mines were brutally honest and I really, really, really just want everything to drop dead.

Why #2
Cylia Oct 2018
I just want to get some air.
I just want to be in a different atmosphere.
I just want to clear my head and be less vulnerable than be critical.
I just want to let loose.
I want to be the one that you choose.
I want to be the girl that you don’t want to close the door to.
But you’re never going to change and that’s fine.
But that only tells me you’re too immature and blind.
You just wanted to flirt.
You never wanted me.
You just want to be the center of attention.
And then you say sorry?
Sorry for what?
You didn’t say a word.
All it was was silence.
Black coal.
Filling my soul.
What’s the point in being vulnerable.
What’s the point in sharing feelings.
What’s the point of even sharing my life stories with you if your just going to mistreat it?
I get it, you’re selfish.
You don’t have to explain it.
But tell me this one thing.
Why were you interested in me in the first place?
My heart has been broken so many times, I can’t keep count.
And you’re telling me to be vulnerable, but what’s the point in that?
I’ve been shed lies over and over again.
I’ve been myself, what else do you want from me?
I just want to be free.
I just want to be alone.
I just want to find my own that I could call home.

Untitled Poems
Cylia Aug 2018
Untitled poems are where the mystery lies,
Behind soft lyrics, they are pretty shy,
Behind every person, are hidden cries.

Untitled poems are always crystal clear,
They say what they say, and there’s never no fear,
And there’s always a second try that lies behind your clever wits when you cheer.

Untitled poems, they never linger,
By the end of the day, they always find a better trigger,
To cast away for another day,
But leaves the papers tainted.
Creating in their own twisted ways,
Leaving their hands painted.
There’s always going to be a poem that’s going to uplift or downfall someone’s spirits into making someone going forward or backwards in life and make them think a little on what they should do in a long or short term goal.

Overthink
Cylia Aug 2018
Should I tell him,
Or should I wait?
Should I hold them in,
Or should I break?
I can’t take the wait no longer,
It’s like my heart is catching on fire.

Should I tell him,
Or should I wait?
My body can’t take the stake
My hands, they shake, like my body is going to cause an earthquake.

Should I tell him,
Or should I wait?
By the time, I think I’ll break
Throw up and have a headache
So tired of all this heartbreak..

Shy but Bold
Cylia Aug 2018
Shy but bold you make me,
Tripping on off of my words.
Sleepy nights but night owl,
Underneath the stars I look.
Stuttering mess I got you,
Eyes that are grey in some ways.
Feeling a connected soulmate,
But loving you will never be easy.

Worried we were when we found you,
Lost lusting looming behold you.
Desiring that doesn’t bestowed upon you,
My long lost love I love you.
Bold but shy you told me,
Worrier that leaves me discovering.
Protector but possessive you are,
Romping my insides that awakens me.

Melt
Cylia Feb 2019
All of these thoughts keeps quivering
                    Melting my bones quite vividly
                               Laying right down very         quietly
                     Eyes barely opened
                                                        My­ mind
                                                is always
                                                            roam­ing.
Why bother in keeping them all in?
         When my mind is almost falling
                         Boiling down into nothing
Like a puzzle piece, it’s breaking...
          In my mind I can hardly speak
My body, vibrating
My veins, left shivering
And yet I keep repeating all of these woah’s in high places
All of these unidentifiable faces
Deja vu, mistaken
                              by
                                   dreams
Masked into reality
Deluded by poVeRTy
UnderSTANDing the world with a mEssed uP society
...And then you figure out that you’re only caught up in a daydream made up by you’re own twisted fantasy-
W     A      K      E        U     P    !
you told me,
s   l   o   w   l   y
where I can hear you
calmly, so patiently,
Words that left me unknowingly unpredictable and yet I can’t stop talking,
Where that wordplay, I wouldn’t say uncomfortable
But more of a delicacy and yet...
                                                         I melt.
Slowly.

Words
Cylia Aug 2018
The words that I want to come out of my head is ******* shut.
The thoughts that I let cloud my judgement is locked up.
And yet you still want to see me when my soul is locked in a treasure box?
What do you want me to do?
Let my emotions rage loose, like a trigger that’s not built to stop or let me drop, like a falling clock
The words that I say are unique,
Bound by fate by a string,
Judged by many, not by he,
Because the only person that could control my luck, is me.

Why
Cylia Aug 2018
Why
Maybe I'm safe in your arms,
our bodies colliding in some,
We're both facing eye-to-eye
But my demons still lurk inside.
Why keep me by your side?
Why didn't you let me walk by?
Why did you stare, so deeply inside, where all my demons
lie?

Maybe I'm safe in your arms,
It's probably safe to cry,
I haven't been myself, in such a very long time,
I felt like I was going to die.
Why are you such a mystery?
Why set my soul ablaze?
Why stare at me, with those cold gray eyes, where my demons wants to come out and play?

Is it the way I speak?
Is it the color of my skin?
Is it the way I talk?
What is it that makes you not want to date me?
Is it because I talk in riddles?
That doesn’t make your heart fiddle?
Is it the way I laugh?
Is it the way of how my skin looks?
What is it that makes you not want to date me?
Is it my hair?
My music taste?
Is it my face?
Is it my body?
Is it because I’m not that feminine?
Or is it because I show my heart out on my sleeve and end up with a broken heart each and every day?
What are you looking for?
Hiding behind laptops and computers like it’s your home.
Saying words like they’re going to make a difference.
Faking every word that you say to get what you want,
When I know they’re just lies
On top of
Lies
On top of
Lies.

Yet, have you looked around you, have you seen the truth behind your secret path?
Have you walked MY path and seen MY eyes?
Have you seen the death that I haven't seen and been told LIES?

You call me a DEMON, have you not looked in a mirror.
But is that your true face, that hides behind a DIAMOND figure
Does it make you see clearer?
All you see is yourself, but all I see is a lier.
That hides behind faces upon faces, that hides behind colored pictures

Yet, you come out looking like a complete mess.
While, I have my own style trying to look my best.
Tell me again, why am I hanging out with you?

What is wrong with the way I have my hair?
My mom gave me this hair, do you just not care?
What if I made fun of your hair, would you be able to bare?
Tell me again, why am I hanging out with you again?

Communicate

You don’t understand me at all,
You say you understand me but all you’re doing is making assumptions and seeing what you want to see,
You say that I’m different from every other girl,
That I speak with a heart of gold that not even you could ever bare to hold.
But what’s worse is that I didn’t fight for you at all,
I didn’t try to get you back even though you pushed me away,
I didn’t text and communicate why I was acting that way,
Instead I stood there like a statue wasn’t taking anything serious because when I’m really interested in someone I seriously can’t find the words to talk.
When you told me why I don’t like to talk,
All I did was laugh under my breathe and waited for the conversation to pass but all I really needed to do was speak and yet,
I couldn’t even do that.
Confused you were.
Tight lipped, closed shut,
I felt no connection when I slept,
in your arms.
Why am I like this?
Why can’t I talk?
Why do I do this,
to this heart for only guys I genuinely  like?

The pain that I feel, does it ache?
The life that I live, will it make her happy?
Or
Will it shrivel up and die at my feet?
Will the ice crack below underneath?

I never listen to my girlfriends I guess that the reason why,
But could not being myself really be the answer.
                             I like deep conversations
         I like to think we’re becoming friends.
But I guess when he finally blocks me, then I’ll then learn how annoying I am.
      I guess the way that I am, I can’t change that.
         But finding the right guy, he’ll love that.

They sweet talk me, says lovely words...
But when will they’re words slowly become actions?
Texting behind closed doors isn’t what I want...
Closeness is what I desire,
but whenever I come close, you always run the opposite directions.
Leaving me on a high,
not wanting me to come down...
Why are you hiding from me?
Will you just come around?
Come on babe, I won’t hurt you.
Let’s take a trip to the circus and maybe say hi to the clowns.
Oh, ***, did I say something wrong?
Do you need a hug?
Do you want some protection?
I’ll give you all of me, if you promise me this one.
Don’t ever lie about your feeling or else I’ll cut you off.
First off this doesn’t relate to the poem but, who ever came up with the pretty ugly poem...genius! I love you! That is all. And secondly, I might have gone a little insane with this poem because of October...alright lol.

Bring out the me
That no man cannot.
Your cold eyes don’t hurt me,
They pierce me and yet I see,
...I see you.

Forget me, forget me not
Figure me out or else get lost
I might be shy, but could send you cold shivers
Down your spine
Couldn’t hear a bullet trigger.

Forget me...forget me not
Yes, I betrayed you
But you betrayed me, several times
How should I feel?
...what should I have done?
Nothing...
Cause what’s the point in even caring.

Forget me, forget me not...
Why are you hidden?
Your body looks pale, looks frostbitten.
Like you’re falling apart
Meaning our love is forbidden.
...the story isn’t supposed to be like this...
This isn’t how it’s supposed to be written.

Need someone to see past my facade for
When the tides hit, all of me will
Be with it not just shatters of
Diamond dust catching
The floor, but
Shatters of butterflies
Filling the room
Where all my
             Creativity
                         Can flourish
And satisfy every ounce
Of my well being                        
Into a single fire                                  
         That is rich in every color of my soul...
And yet,
Everywhere I look you’re not there
But a replica of you with each different
Mask that I come upon is a
                                                               fake      
A fake that either wants me or wants me...
Because of my body or physically
Life lesson or misunderstanding...

and then you  have the ones that
Are pure as gold that sees right through
Your soul that has that deep connection and can hold a good conversation,
But the good thing about it
Is that no matter where
You are in the
Universe
I know
That I  
Am
Not

I Know This Isn’t a Trick
Cylia Oct 2018
Why does my heart feel so out of place?
Like the walls closing in, no room for space.
Not able to breathe, my hands on my face.
So wide awake, I can't even blink.
But is this a dream? I can't even think.
It's so cold, but where am I though?
Lost in a crate, nowhere to escape.

I know this isn't a trick.

My mind is corrupted, the pictures are blank.
Tainted, stained, I think I've been framed.
Nowhere left to go, I guess I'll just go with the flow.
Looking out below, while my life goes slow.
There's no door nor there are floors.
No back way nor front.
Looks like the walls have been torn.

I know this isn't a trick.

My life is like a roller coaster.
Plastered onto a poster.
Please, don't come any closer.
Cause this poem is far from over.
I don't believe in my mind.
All the words, they seem to want to bend.
All the numbers I find, always wants to stop at ten.

I know this isn't a trick.
So why not just end it real quick?
You think you are really slick?
My life not a movie screen.
There's nothing here that you haven't seen.
It may seem like a mess.
But mostly everything is clean.

Like my body can’t take it, all of these motions,
They’re filling up
All these emotions, they’re bottled up
All these emotions, I cannot stop
But I will still keep on doing me,
No matter what compliments you give to me,
Cause the me that you knew back then,
Is way past gone, never to be seen again.
Cause to me I am not lonely,
I’m just being me
&
that’s all I need.

So What
Cylia Mar 2019
So what if I hide away my true feelings.
So what if everyone in the world hates me.
So what if my life is a mess,
At least I’m out here doing my best.

Tonight
Cylia Mar 2020
I feel, I melt
I run, too fast
Into the light that shines,
Just right,
I bring, myself
My being, my soul
To break me...all of me,
To frain from my grave

Hidden
Cylia Aug 2018
Your face is hidden between rocks and pebble and yet you still look so beautiful.
Your crimson-red sends shivers all around me and yet, I see nothing but pureness shaping your heart...bea-u-ti-ful heart.

Colorful pieces surround us and yet no one is looking
We are all alone, in this dungeon that’s surrounded by nothing but thickness
...all-alone darkness.

Waving a heavy heart,
My body can’t take no more, worrying about the debt you’ve paid, that keeps my breathe longing for.
And yet you’ve stayed by my side,
holding on until I die.

Beautiful heart and soul; when you look at me I smile.
When I’m all alone, I don’t say a word,
I just sit around in darkness until you come and take my pain.
Longing on until my heart stops pounding,
Breaking every twine or snickers until I rust and die into nothingness...
And yet, even when I have died, your soul have stuck by mine.
Even when I have hidden my eyes, you knew what colors they were...
They were yours...right from the beginning.

What?
Cylia Mar 2019
What keeps you away, what keeps you so far?
Why can I not see what’s keeping me from you?
Why can’t I remember the days I’ve forgotten,
The days where you’d hold me, you’d loved me, protect me,
The days where times and the spaces made spaces,
Where I would kiss you, embrace you, choose you, and want you.

What keeps me away, what keeps me so far
Maybe the trust is gone, I think I’ve got trust issues,
Maybe our life will pass again soon
Maybe in a different life it’ll happen again later. It’s probably for the better.
