Lexi - Hello Poetry

As I lie here
With eyes closed softly
I think deeply of you
And I inhale stars
The scent of twinkling light
So fresh and alive
Sparkling gentle inside me
And I want to write this feeling
So tentatively
As it must be
Like writing words on bubbles
Delicate and precious
Begging them not to disappear
Like dreams in the morning

By Phil Roberts

This may well be my last poem here.

Useless worlds

These three useless words
bang against my teeth,
guarded by my lips they want to be released;

I once swallowed my thoughts to keep them inside,
But it seems my naïve heart has kept them alive.

I'm scared they might escape with every passing smile. I need you and want you to be mine.

I love you...

I’m saying goodbye because I forgot what your hello sounds like

I want to light  
My couch on fire 
Because whenever I turn the corner
 All I see is you  
Running your fingers 
Through my hair 
While I’m looking up  
Smiling 
Then I blink
 And you disappear.

I don’t keep  
My phone on me 
Anymore 
What’s the point?
 Your name won’t show up 
And everyone else is white noise
 Compared to your bass 
That revived the butterflies  
Making them dance in 
What now is a vacant space.

I’m thinking  
If I keep myself busy 
Maybe my heartbreak  won’t catch up to me
 But this day will end 
I’ll run out of breath
 The pinnacle of my anxiety
 Crushes me like a train 
For now my nightmare is living 
A sunset without you again.

It's Almost Physical

If the way you verbally abuse yourself,
Caused you physical harm
How often would you do it?

No one would ever think of
Punching themselves in the stomach
So why do we always talk to ourselves
Like we are boxers
Trying to win a match
Against our biggest enemy
When our biggest enemy
Is our conscious
Telling us
That we aren’t good enough

when a poet falls in love with you...

you will never be forgotten.
ever.
your name twisted into metaphors and colors and distractions will forever
be painted across pages and pages of her favorite brand of notebook,
no matter how many she burns
there will always be one she forgot,
and she will only find it once she had almost forgotten you.
she will find the one Papyrus notebook
and all of your metaphors and colors and disractions will come flooding back,
just like how the ocean in your eyes
flooded her heart all those years ago.

6 months of pain

its been 5 almost 6 months
since I left you,
4 months
since we started talking again.
3 months
since I tried to move on
2 months
since I found out you moved on but that it didn't last
1 month
since I've been dying to tell you that I still painfully love you.

"Time will heal" but it never does.
