Is there something wrong?
Theo Aug 2019
Why do you like every single thing i hate?
Tell me, i too want to feel this way!
I type and type and it is not enough
For me, my brain and heart.
I must like the things i write
But i do not seem to win this fight

Blame
Theo Aug 2019
"I know you did this!"
Are you sure?
I saw this one man who did the same exact thing
I'm not the one to blame,
I know.
But why'd you think of me so?
Dumb as hell. Needed it to be out of my head though

I will no longer bear to write

If the poems that are recognised

Will consist of less than seven words.

That is not enough space for my many worlds.

Less words, less brainwork

Shouldn't measure the depth of a thought.

If it is what we were meant to become

Why should we save our kind?
I'm so sick of those deepbutnotreally ™
poems. they make no sense. they're simple statements. Spaces, dots, whatever they write to make their words look better - that's ruining the whole point of poetry.

Soul
Theo Jul 2019
If only I knew the way the way
You treated your last lovers
I would've been frightened.
But in the end you made me think
That I'm that thing,
That burden that you're tired of.
If only you knew the way the way I love you –
You grabbed your keys and left
You still were a goddess
to me
in that light.
But oh, your name it did run deep under my skin
And crept its way through my regrets
Into a box I keep well-hidden.
Wherever you are

Where i couldn't follow?
Don't, don't ask me to turn around
I can't bear hurt in my heart
I now have to close my eyes

Bubbles

We float and float.
Loose our colours, beloved or not
When we're all grey- we burst .
As it turns out I got a lot to say about bubbly bubbles

Laughing
On and on about old times
Violence pumping on the radio
Encrypting it's rhythm in our

Oh wow! That's dumb !

Too complicated
Theo Jul 2019
I scrap every last rhyme off of my body, comes off with my skin
And put them in this screen.
Others think they're really deep
Only if they do not need
Much time to be understood.
I hate it when i have to cut off parts of my skin and hide them in the dark for good.
Everybody likes the words i wrote and hate. It's kind of disappointing.

Being told
Theo Jul 2019
"Would you just stop pretending please!
Cause you have a little too much money to be so young and that sad"
No one should be told that (that's kinda my whole point.)

Souvenirs
Theo Jul 2019
After some time it becomes obvious that they never actually stay.
Take one step closer, of course you may!
Pass through, take away some feelings and precious moments,
take a few memories and put in another brick in any of these walls.

And they're done, ready to move on.
And here i'll stay and wait
Until the last hint of their perfume escaped.
There goes that green light
And the room is busy again, oh what a delight
To feel this way anew,
To have a person, a night they'll get me through.
What comes next shouldn't bother me
Until the daylight comes i will feel free.

I know, my dear friend,
You'll think i get attached too easy,
or perhaps i am too greedy.
But know that it was my intent:
I walk around, i collect
tiny pieces of them; love, hate, souls and hands,
Put them in bottles and hide them in my desk.
So i remember them forever

Give me a few more seconds
Of feeling your light
And then I swear I'll become somebody else
But they'll still hold you tight.
Theo Jul 2019
I'll come again to you
To show that gasoline has soaked through my clothes
And all my bones.
Don't light your match, not yet
I might blow up and you'll regret
Being close to me like that.

Even though nothing has changed
I know i did everything i could.
And my soul is freed of its weight.
I'm running away for good.
It seems like that's what I always do
That's the only thing I'm good at too.

Farewell
Theo Jul 2019
I'm going to drive and drive till my brain has cooled.
And then a dark tunnel, then a wall
Then I'll crush my every bone
And fall down onto the floor
And then I'll go
And then I'll soar
And disappear once and for all.

Heaven
Theo Jul 2019
In love again
Running for our lives.
Afraid
We'll never see the sun.
My friend,
I'll always be your guide
'til death
Takes us on our final ride.
My love,
Then we'll climb towards the sky
Realizing that we lived our lives
Made mistakes, did something right,
It did matter how hard we tried.
And knowing that, i'll be forever by your side.

She taught me love
Unlike every other girl i would kiss
We both rose up
As we told each other the words we would later miss.
Half a world apart,
Away to find a new start.
Blue memories of those times are a bliss.

It all just happens too fast
Too much in one moment
Not enough air in my lungs
And the temperature gets higher
While pressure keeps pushing down
Crashing my spine
Pushing me deeper into the ground.
Even after I'm gone
My flesh and bones are bound to it
Never to break through the clouds
Never to touch the sky.
I've been walking free
My whole life it seems,
But I'm only ever standing
One foot on the ground, pretending
to stand strong and fierce.
But in the end I realize that
There should be more to it
Than trying to keep your feet steady on the ground.

You kept your crown after our last argument.
You've proved your point
But I'm afraid that
in the end
You've lost a friend.
There is now an unspoken rule to pretend
There's no wound to mend.
I have to turn around and walk away.
But i'm not sure if i'm able to turn around and love again.

The night sky is blossoming with stars
Oh there are so many!
Maybe my happiness is still being born up there.
Maybe it is wandering amongst the souls of one's who we have lost,
of people who were too good for this world,
taken to a better place...
to a parallel universe,
where nothing ever hurts.
I'd like to believe that.

Trigger warning
Theo Jun 2019
The problem lies in me
I made you scared
That monster inside me did that.
I neither know how to stop it from breaking free, tearing me apart
Nor i know how to prevent it from growing inside.
Nothing is never enough
There's always a flaw.
Even if i did something good
But i could do more.
I keep opening that wound
Keep digging and hunting down the pieces of hate in my soul
I want it to finally let me go!
For now I am a monster.
My head, my mind, my heart.

leaves and grass in the wind
the most powerful tornados
the highest waves of you.

Thinking about how little time to we have
Before something bursts us.
It's either them
or ourselves, corrupted with grey matter.
Before the ground takes us apart
Piece by piece.
Before we're nothing but past.
How little time do we have for making something out of ourselves?

Getting through with you
Theo May 2019
Breaking down again
Falling apart.
I've learnt the way
I melt by heart.
Time has passed
I try to detach from my past.
I hope I find someone at last..
Someone who cares
Someone who will stay for years.

Storms make me ponder
Of how all can vanish in a single heartbeat.
Those thoughts lead to another:
why do we even bother
to try and feel complete?

Note
Theo May 2019
For years I walk alone,
In shadows i try to grow.
I'm tired of running
from my lonely life.
I'm standing in the rain,
I am so done with pain.
Without control
I'm gonna tumble into a hole.
I write down those last chords
And here i go.
I'll be fine on the other side.

I cut off my ears
Cause they make me feel my heart too much.

Cause it reminds me how it feels to have a heart.
I put a bullet in my brain

It calms my heart down every time i feel your touch

Lower your head
Down and down -

Do you even see where you're going?

How your thoughts are not only yours, at least
Not anymore.

Hands around my neck
You're holding me from my back.
I think I love you most like that,..
or i did, last time i checked.
As long as you stay
I promise to be happy every single day.
And, if you ever begin to fade,
I won't be far away.
To walk by each other's sides on our way
We have to stay awake,
But it's a dark world out there.
Let us be brave.

They just hold on tight

Death of a poet
Theo Apr 2019
Neon light
Is spilling from inside,
Yet there are few tiny marks
Just near his heart;
Neon is tainted with every shade of grey,
Just like his youth was.
Life of a runaway.
Running away from their screens.
If you simply give it some time -
You can see: his soul and mind
Now are running wild.
But he'll be fine, he'll be fine
On the other side.

Body lays there open
While they're singing perfectly
in tune,
Listening to their muse,
The source of horrors and all the blackness
Artificial light is calling their names,
I thing they've just reached another level
Of madness.
Your screens are proud of you -
It's divine.

Lost
Theo Apr 2019
Find me.
Shut your eyes.
Open your arms.
Hide me inside,
Under your spine.
Keep me there.
I wish to stay
To watch over your heart
Cry
for it not to fall apart.
I wish never to come out.

White blossoms
Swaying in the wind.
The grey sky is about to gulp them down, after -
they're gone
Dancing in the rain, carried by the wind.
Raindrops on my face -
This is how I want to disappear.

I like your hands
Even when they're not in mine,
Moonlight on your skin
Even when i'm not around.
I will live for you
Even while you're gone.
I know you need a rest, my love.
But after that - please, hear me,
Something is wrong:
I've been lost for too long,
well..it did happen before.
But don't leave me alone,
not here, not now,
I think that time might come
when we float amongst the stars.

You were there-
I couldn't see that.
Now I wish I couldn't feel this.
Why would you walk away?
Perhaps it's me,
Yeah, I guess it was always me,
And you know, oh you know it.
There's so much I could've been,
But now the only person that saw that ******..and useless warmth in me...
they left with all my skin.

What would you do, if you knew you'd die in seventeen days?

You'd be that person you've always hoped to be,
You'd live your best live
Unleash all those secrets you tried to hide.
You will love an be loved.
Those days would seem like forever.
Like hot summer days with the sky of this burning world
melting down the collar of your favourite shirt;
The sun would get stuck in your eye,
Making your lover's face shine
Like that star you kissed under.
You wouldn't be able to get enough.
Do you really believe that?
What if you'll walk alone
Down the road
With noone to hold?
Will you feel more hurt
from loneliness
Than when the world
Goes up in flames?

I know I couldn't care less...

Your money won't matter
When the last tree has fallen.
Your opinions will be forgotten
When plastic ends up on your plates.
Your status will be useless
When the water will be poisoned.
What will you do now?
Where will you hide?
It will hit us all if you don't decide
To stop feeding us fake smiles,
Telling us all those lies
About the safe&clean future.
Get together to root out the mess we've all made.
Aren't you even a little afraid
Of what you might see in the end,
When your big party is over?
Just get sober -
You'll see
What we've come to be.

Tears on black keys are glistening.
Why can't I get it out?!
There is something

But still our hands match,
Hearts beat in same seconds.
Hope you can see it.

for you to come.
oh darling, please don't drown  on your way here.
we will speak,
gulping evening sunlight.
dusk till dawn I will wait here.
through mist and rain
storm scares me less than your absence.
how long must i wait for you?
salty water brushes my ankles,
it's warm in shallows, but if you go deeper... now i understand you,
even i forgot you in those icy calm waters.  sorry,love,
I think I was born to float alone in the cold.

You just won't take me seriously.
Yeah, look at me, I'm all messed up
Waiting here long enough
For you to make up your mind
About your feelings for me.
But all I've wasted was just too much:
It feels too tight in your clutch
Now I want to be free.
I don't want to hear you say
"Bye, baby, I had a good time"
Baby, it was worth for a while
But I cannot stay
In a place
Where love has been broken.
