Anticipation

The anticipation

In a moment of silence

I want to be more to you

Museum
Dev Mar 2018
Can I make a wish
To be with you forever
You make me happy even
Though we're just friends

I don't need any more than this
Just your attention, your smile
Corny jokes.
It's all enough for me.

Don't change,
You're all too interesting
They should put you
In a museum, just you.

You're all the eras rolled into one.
He's the weirdest person I've ever met, and he just has all these layers that I'm only just discovering.

Self deprecation
Dev Mar 2018
Self deprecation:

the act of reprimanding oneself by
belittling, undervaluing, or
disparaging oneself,
or being excessively modest.

It can be used in humour and tension release.


It's a breath of fresh air to see someone whose ego isn't the size of a hot air balloon

But maybe you shouldn't put yourself down so much

Oh god, not this again

It's not really funny anymore, it's just a bit sad

Are you okay? That was a little dark

Forgive me, I didn't realise you were allowed to express your emotions to me and not the other way around

God you really ******* it this time

Confused
Dev Mar 2018
You shouldn't talk or stare like that
a girl could get confused
as to why you smile like that
I feel like I've been used

sometimes I'm like the tissue
that wipes away your tears
and then you throw me away
till you remember all your fears

and come crawling back again
because you're sorry, I really mean it
I just got caught up in her drama again

Yeah, I can see it

Its a wonder you cant tell
why I sat here waiting for you
you really must be dull
for it to not have gotten through

Sleep
Dev Mar 2018
I am told every day by my 83 year old grandfather to
Cheer up, smile, no one wants to see you looking like that
And every time, I smile weakly, look him in the eye and despondently reply
Oh, sorry. Didn't sleep well

And I didn't.
I was too busy thinking how nice it might be just to drift into this sleep and not awake.
And then at 4am drifting off... hoping.

Disappointed, it's 7 am. The sun is shining, I know I should be grateful to be alive.
But I'm not.
I'm just disappointed to be held accountable for myself every morning,
and not have the guts to do anything about it.

decision
Dev Mar 2018
Decisions are hard.
Are you going to be a teacher?
A musician?
A planner?

Now tell me,
right now
On the cusp of either
losing or gaining everything

Make a decision.

Leave school
or
Take a job

Now, make a choice
Not even on the cusp of adulthood
and making adult decisions
Choose.

Now.

What will you do?
One minute, Uni.
Next VCE
Next VCAL
Next TAFE
Next a job
Next a business

Blisters on my fingers
Dev Mar 2018
I have blisters on my fingers
from playing for too long
because I was trying
to learn your favourite song

I have a croaky voice now
from singing far too high
from trying to sing a melody
that reaches towards the sky

My guitar is out of tune
because of what you said
you told me I was good and
I let it go to my head

My uke is sitting sadly
untouched for quite awhile
because what I play isn't worth it
if I can't make you smile.
Inspo from "I've got blisters on my fingers!" out of the recording of 'Helter Skelter' by The Beatles


I just want him to be happy


at least happier than I am

Candle
Dev Mar 2018
There is a candle in my heart
I light it every day.

I put my walls up at the start,
so it can glow and flicker away.

Other souls who pass me by,
have nothing of the kind.

The have gusts of wind,
and roaring blows that try to reach within.

I guard my candle carefully
to try and keep it lit

I keep on my toes and dodge the waves
to keep my candle from being hit.

And at every night, when nothings left
but an embers empty glow

I take out my now hollow candle
melted right down low.

I toss it out, in the bin, away
and grab a new one for the brand new day.
I do think of my social energy as a candle, there's only so much of people that I can handle, it runs out quite fast.

How to fake it
Dev Mar 2018
Step 1
Recover from the shock
let the emotion roll through your system
Breathe in and out.
Don't throw up.

Step 2
Plant a big fat smile on your face
Say I'm totally happy for you.
Wow what great news!

Don't throw up.

Step 3
Burn everything you've ever written about him.
She's your friend, she deserves more than you
You can't compete
Don't throw up

Step 4
Revert to what you're good at
Making other people happy.
Get them together
Don't throw up.

Step 5
Move on
Attempt to 'hook up' with someone
Fail miserably
Don't throw up

Step 6
Be the third wheel
And the reason why they'll be together.
Watch him pick her over you over and over.
This time, actually throw up.
It makes me sick but I know I should be supportive of her.

I almost wanna scream "I saw him first!"

Drummer Boy
Dev Mar 2018

thump thump thump th-th-th-thump
Is my heart pounding,
or is that the waves of the beat
flooding from you across the room to me?

I have never really appreciated
the time keepers
until this very moment
when our eyes met.

You looked up at me,
swaying along to the beat
your hair flicking across your face
Obviously in the way.

Just a hint of a smile,
I don't even know you
and you made me feel
like my stomach was doing flips and hurdles.

After the beat was done,
you wordlessly sat a few seats away
And sheepishly grinned
Running your fingers through your hair

I don't even know you
but somehow
you make my heart feel like
it was dancing to your beat.
Oh that brown hair and brown eyes

I wish when I was younger
I had the sense to enjoy the simplicities
of having everything taken care of for you.

And at 17 nearly, I realise how hypocritical this is.

Gently, please
Dev Mar 2018
Gently please,
handle with care.
if you play too hard,
I might get scared.

If you shake me too much,
my curls will undo
The color will drain from
my face, cause of you.

If you grab me too rough,
I will try to break free
I have had enough
of your misery.

If you hold me too tightly
afraid to let go,
I will run away
into the great unknown.

so please, I beg you,
I'll beg and I'll plead.
Handle me gently,
don't make me leave.
Claustrophobic when it comes to people, yet surprisingly clingy. An enigma wrapped in a conundrum, thats me!

Boy
Boy, what are you thinking,
you really are just a stranger.
Trying to drag me into a mess,
treading over hidden dangers.

At first it was just us two,
and then I wanted four.
It turned into three
but now you want more.

You're getting greedy and you know it
You keep on trying to hide it
Well it's showing
You just aren't satisfied

Boy, I thought you were sweet
Someone I could eventually really like.
But all this nonsense has me beat,
I don't even know her, so why?

It all got way too complicated
way, way, way too fast
I was in it for the moment
You're just trying to make it last.

It's cool, It's cool, I get it,
you really like my thighs
But to do what you wanna do?
Well, you'd have to get me high.
Just a funny little end to a very simple turned complicated scenario.

Rude
Dev Mar 2018
If indeed you were intent
on being real friends,
you have very little evidence
but your word to show it.

The only time we talk
is when I start the conversation
or you like the fact that my dads cake read:
"Happy Birthday, you old ****"

Even then, all I get is
Haha, thats brilliant
And what am I supposed to reply?
I don't want to look needy, so nothing.

Maybe if you took
your head out of your ***
And thought about what I've done,
and been there for you,

then you wouldn't be so rude.
This is more of like the stuff I cant say to him more than a poem, sorry for the language!

Toxic
Dev Mar 2018
I was in love with a girl once,
she did all the things I wanted to,
she was braver than anyone else,
she was kind, smart, loyal.

She did crazy things,
Was rather outspoken
and every phrase that left
her supposedly "perfect" mouth was outlandish.

She would tell me her dreams,
we'd stay up all night texting,
and she would imagine our lives
together

But the thing about these people
who are perfect, yet completely insane
is that their insanity is toxic
and exposure to it can be too harmful for some

I fell in love with a girl,
she was beautiful, dazzling
All that wonderful sparkly ****.
But she was oh so toxic.
Things happen for a reason, we may not like it at the time, but friendships drift and people stop talking. Such is life.

Damaged Goods
Dev Mar 2018
I am broken,
Come name your price

Hidden in the shelter
of a lonely life

Come choose your savage
See their perfect disguise

You could never love me
Cause I live in these lies

I am damaged goods
I’m misunderstood

I come in the perfect packaging
Wrapped up in severed ties

Stamped with a sticker on top
Come, name your price.

I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods.

I am lonely
In this sea of maddening sounds

I am hurt
From those people who aren’t around

I break my happiness
At every chance I get

And then I’ll ask myself
Why I feel so depressed

I am damaged goods
I’m misunderstood

I come in the perfect packaging
Wrapped up in severed ties

Stamped with a sticker on top
Come, name your price.

I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods.

I can’t get out
Fromt this crippling doubt

I feel so empty without
You there beside me

I need somewhere to go
Somewhere in the great unknown

Somewhere I can be alone

I am damaged goods
I’m misunderstood

I am damaged goods
I’m misunderstood

I come in the perfect packaging
Wrapped up in severed ties

Stamped with a sticker on top
Come, name your price.

I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods
I am damaged goods.

Thin Ice
Dev Mar 2018
I can't remember much this morning,
I had my headphones in,
jamming to my favourite songs,
And my hair was flowing like waves in the wind

And I saw you, about 20 feet away.
And I still don't quite remember it lucidly.
You barely waved,
And I practically ignored you.

The whole day,
I put up with these imbeciles
Your eye looks gross, are you going to go blind?
People are idiots

But then, as I fell to the ground laughing,
you caught my eye.
I felt like we had communicated in that moment,
with your confused smile and crinkly eyes.

And then we didnt talk.
You didn't come over,
neither did I.
We just didnt talk.

It was like I was meant to be there,
even though I wasnt
Like i was there for me this time,
not for you.

But I felt too ashamed to talk,
you seemed to have forgotten
our conversation last night
And I didn't want to bring it up.

I'm glad I can now lean on you,
the way you leant on me.
I'm glad that we're friends now,
but I still feel like I'm on thin ice.
Nothing is consistent in my life right now, except for the inconsistency

the edge
Dev Mar 2018
I am on the edge,
nothing is certain anymore.

I am afraid to choose wrong,
afraid to disappoint you

but the right choice for me
could push me over

and the wrong one could leave me
hanging on with one arm for the rest of my life.

What lies beyond the edge, I can't see.
It is dark and mysterious and foreboding.

I am on the edge,
and nothing is certain anymore.

Nothing
Dev Mar 2018
He'll tell you that he wants you,
he'll tell you anything,
He'll do whatever he wants to,
he thinks that he's the dream.

He'll objectify and hurt you,
in a way that makes you think
that you're something special finally,
as you grab another drink

He'll ask you for something,
that's not his to take.
And when you reply, No
Is when the beast awakes.

He'll point out your every flaw
He verbally murders your spirit
Till you're crying behind your door,
you think his words have merit.

He'll crush and crush and crush you
till you're reduced to barely anything.
Because you said no to him
He'll make you feel like you're worth nothing.
Guys are *******

It's 2.27 am, and I keep rewriting a text to you:
Hey... No, backspace on that Hey, you up?
Could you sound more desperate?
No luck, because it's 2.28 and you wont reply.

It's 2.29 am and I feel it already,
The regret of staying up too late.
Shouldn't have drunk the coffee,
Shouldn't have had that drink.

It's still 2.29 am, oh no its turned.
I should sleep but when I close my eyes
I think about everything I want to say to you
The way I imagine it all happening in my head.

It's 2.31 am, and I'm so exhausted
I'm so exhausted from chasing after you.
So now I'll go to sleep,
And when I wake up, I'm taking a different route.
We all know it's a lieeeee

Letters by letter by letter
These thoughts and emotions
Pour from my head to my heart,
Through my veins.

They reach my fingertips,
Tapping eagerly on the side of my laptop
But then I hear it,
What if it sounds stupid? What if no one cares what you have to say?

Her voice, no, my voice,
Doubtful, hurting, scared.
But the thoughts keep pumping
my fingers violently throb

It all happens like a blur,
I have to get these words out
Or everything will explode
Into a dizzy array of sparkling light

So I type and I type and I type
I type till my fingers go numb
And my eyes are glazed over
And it doesn't hurt to breathe anymore.

And despite her many warnings,
When I click 'save',
She quietens down
And anxiety doesn't hold me back.
One of the few times where she quietens down, at least for a moment.

You and I.
Dev Mar 2018
We used to laugh a lot, you and I.
We used to mess around with each other,
We used to be daring.

We used to pull pranks on the teachers,
We used to pretend to smoke those stupid lollies right in front of them,
We used to not care.

You used to think I was pretty, and cool.
You used to play with my hair at recess,
You used to tell me you liked me.

You used to be so kind, and funny,
You used to care about me,
But then again, we used to be 11 years old.

Because we used to talk, you and I.
We used to confide in and stick up for each other
But then I used to be skinny, and not so loud.

We used to be just barely in highschool,
Each gone on different paths.
You used to ignore me and then all of a sudden, you're with her.
You used to not be a ****.

And we used to be friends.

She just wants to be loved
Sent all hope from high above
Eyes like a cavern
Hair like a cage
Open her book, turn the page.

Walk through the streets, see and smell the air
See its better up here than it is down there
See here you can be happy, here you are safe.
Here there are no mirrors screaming in your face

Be a little a better, must escape a little more
To feel a little better, means to feel nothing more
And if I should leave for there, I’ll leave a reason why
I’ll be the sun shining in your darkest sky

Daytime never ends, the streets are always empty.
People walking past, all these thoughts, they are so tempting
Let bubblegum girl lead you to where you want to go.
She’s travelled all these places, she knows all the roads

Run through the field, theres flowers everywhere
Moments passing by, no one has a moment to spare.
Let the breeze linger, trace some smiles with your finger
In a moment you’ll forget all the pain.

To be a little a better, must escape a little more
To feel a little better, means to feel nothing more
And if I should leave for there, I’ll leave a reason why
I’ll be the sun shining in your darkest sky

Lonely Girl
Dev Mar 2018
At first glance,
It's a mirror.
I, on one side,
she, on the other.

But as you peer closer,
and over the sink,
you'll start to realise
it's not what you think.

She is so graceful,
carefully crafted.
She would never think so,
but then, she's a *******.

She takes off her shoes,
Just to walk on broken glass
And sometimes she decides
To stick her head up her ***.

She's beautiful and sweet,
Don't get me wrong,
Cause even after all this time,
She's my favorite song.

She complex and odd,
And so completely normal
It's hard to think
She could be so casual, and yet so formal.

And I know my timings off,
But I really gotta say
She the most wonderful person I know,
At least, as of today.

She's caring and sweet,
But she can be a huge *****,
But don't you worry, if you're unravelling,
She's the stitch.

She's calm and collected,
With warm eyes and a cold smile
Have I mentioned she's a contradiction?
But she's worth the while.

But just make sure
That you look underneath,
Cause she hides in there,
It's her relief.

Part the curtains of jet black hair,
Dodge the freckle bullets, you're nearly there.
Wipe off her mask with the back of your hand,
And there, just a lonely girl stands.

And lonely girl is
still so lovely,
She doesn't fuss much,
She's completely motherly.

Inside imperfect girl,
Right there, within
Is why she's imperfect
Call it her original sin.
Ok it's 3 am and the point kind of got away from me. The heart of this piece is that, lonely girl maybe lonely, but her kindness and compassion comes from that one thing that no one sees, because more often than not, no one cares enough. But I see, and I care so take that!

A giggle a sweet as cotton candy,
Curled hair just like swirls
Blue eyes with pure bliss inside them.
Few teeth, looks just like a pearl.

A roar as fierce as any lions,
A stomp to shake the world.
Blonde hair, reminds me of someone else
And his fist rolled up ready to hurl.

But both of them are one and the same,
Just different fragments of light.
I hold them so close in my heart,
As I cuddle them both goodnight.
Went to my nieces baptism today and was just overwhelmed by my love for her and her brother,
So this came out :-)

Touch my cheek again,
Let's see if your breath stops halfway through your throat like time is frozen.
Like mine did.

Brush my knee again,
And watch as the hairs on my legs rise, and goosebumps pop up haphazardly to say hello
Because- oh my god, what am I doing

And turn away again,
Because saying that sentence has snapped you out of a trance, and you've realized again.
I'm not her. And trust me, it hurts me just as much.

Then leave again,
Let me wonder why I ever let you into my heart, just to watch it shatter into a thousand crimson drops as you exit.
But this time?
Don't come back.
If you're here, be here for good.

I am like a sink full of soapy water.
Bubbly, happy, and clean...

On the outside, at least.

Dip your hand in, you'll find that I'm still
Warm, relatively clean until...

You slice your hand on the knife hidden just underneath those shiny bubbles

I'm sorry if I hurt you,

But you shouldn't stick your hand into soapy water

If you aren't prepared to deal with the damage
And when you cut your hand in my sink, it bleeds into me, and changes everything.

Rabbit Hole
Dev Mar 2018

I have fallen too far down the rabbit hole,
And I am afraid to look up.
Because I can already see their spiteful faces
Sneering and spitting out venom laced words

We knew you weren't good enough

I am too far gone down the track
And I am too riddled with guilt to stop.
Because I can hear them screaming,
Crying out, pleading with me

I wish you'd just be good enough

I have travelled too deep into this dark, lush forest
And I cannot see it for it's trees anymore
Because all I know is
I have to be good enough.

No matter what

I don't think I'll ever be able to truly see the forest for the trees, what a silly phrase :-)

COLOUR.

Your hair is gold,
Your eyes are blue,
There are too many colours
Inside of you.

Your shirt is white,
Your heart is green.
You play at nice,
You aren't what you seem.

Your energy is purple,
But puffy and black
You make me feel safe
With a silver lining wrap.

And what is left,
But those red hands to hold?
Well I've a fear you won't use
Those 'til you're old

They just want to feel special
Just a pretty face, and nothing more.

So we're talking again

So we're talking again,
yeah I guess its fine.

I'm supposed to be ignoring you, y'know.
Putting you out of my mind.

It's funny when you share a joke,
from that show you're making me watch.

The one about the guy?
Yeah the guy with the scotch?

I don't really remember
the highlights of the plot

I just remember you
telling me which one you thought was hot.

And comparing myself to her,
saying British tv ***** man

You getting offended
and telling me, all deadpan

yeah it's better than that American ****,
what is it, Anchorman?


and then I had to laugh,
but you would never tell

because all this banter
happened like we were under a spell

like we were actually friends for once
not just some people from school

And I know this time
I'll still end up the fool.
I'm very sorry for the flood of sad puppy love poems, I swear I write diversely you've just caught me in the middle of some issues

I want you to write me
Dev Mar 2018
I want you to write me,
the way that I write you.

Only capturing the
beautiful sides
on sunny days

I want to be your poem,
like you are mine

Soft words,
lilting sentences,
perhaps I'll even rhyme.

I want to be in your song,
that one about love.

The girl who's hair shines,
and dances without care?
I want to be her.

I want you to see all the good in me,
and truly believe there's no madness.

but soon you'll see
eventually,
I'm filled to the brim with badness.
I want to be anybody else really.
Also I really have to start coming up with titles.

Bruises here,
and bruises there.
Bruises cover
e v e r y w h e r e

And on your ankle
swollen as can be
there is a shadow of
m y s t e r y

Upon your chest,
as bright as a star
there is a scratch, a
b a t t l e s c a r

And now I guess
you should really stop
whingeing about it, it's

Fragile thing
Dev Mar 2018
If you were a piece of glass,
I'd wrap you in silky cloth
so you wouldn't break
or cut me.

If you were a child,
I'd sing you sweet songs,
until you fell asleep,
so quiet in my arms.

If you were a rose,
I'd never cut you from
the bush where you belong
So you would never ***** me.

If you were a dandelion,
I'd cup you in my hands so gently,
so the wind could not
blow your dreams away.

But because you aren't a fragile thing,
I have to leave you be.
It truly breaks my heart
to see you get hurt so easily.

You asked who it was that day,
you asked me with a smile.
I said, hold on, boy, lets just talk for a while

And so you laughed and looked
away for just a glance
and right then, right there,
I knew I'd missed my chance.

Because right then, right there, I said
Yeah, its him.
The other dude, i'm into him.


And no one really knows
if anything would've changed
But I know for sure,
we'd be playing a different game.

Because right in that moment
with your big, dumb smile,
I should've said it's you.
It's been you all this while.

And yeah, you'd would've been shocked,
And probably a little mad
but i think most of all,
you would've felt sad

because it all would be apparent,
why I'd gotten so close to you.
Maybe you'd have have blamed me,
for her not choosing you

Perhaps you'd stop speaking to me,
And forget all we talked about
But I don't think i'd feel so bad,
with my heart all laid out
didn't edit this one so sorry if its a bit ****
