Emptiness,
Like seeing a crowd knowing you are not there.

Happiness,
Rereading those words you once said.

Loneliness
Wondering in the places we used to visit.

Sadness,
Forgetting your voice, memories that are missing.

Darkness,
Talking to you, even though you might not hear it.

Fakeness,
Telling myself that one day I won't feel it.

He didn't tell me to keep it,
But I know a secret when I hear one.
Dolores May 2022
If You could paint me,
You would paint me blue.
Dolores Aug 2022
I am like a lonely tree,
In an open field,
Roots don't touch.
Dolores Jul 2022
I feel like I've been here for years
Loveless,
I feel like I've been here for decades
Motionless,
I feel like I've been here for centuries
Hopeless,
I feel like I've been here for millenniums
Sleepless,
I feel like I've been here for eons
Careless.
Dolores Aug 2022
You talk about attraction
But I only heard subtraction,
It's me leaving a building
It's you fleeing a country,

Still I count my numbers
If they are repeating,
Showing up
In various places,

I pay attention for a while
Before I lose my faith
In reading signs,
You know the feeling when magic dies.

But I paint you the sky
If you ask me for a cloud,
Tender is the Night,
Your lightning striking through the Sky.

The one that I painted,
So I can only blame me,
For me leaving a building,
And hating you for fleeing,

For being in love
With someone else
And when I was ready to tell you that,
You told me you were coming back.

And just like that, you are gone again.
Ave

Ave
I won't forget how it started,
Us looking for faith,
Coming from you all the words,
I was too afraid to say,

I won't forget how it went on,
Same old gray couch,
Touching elbows,
Never too close

And it's such jubilation
With flying, pointing arrows,
Late night talks, your hundred tales,
You left me in an empty maze

Sunday church,
The cheat card games,
As I think back now,
It feels unreal

So I drink my tea,
Let You laugh at me,
And on one summer Sunday eve,
I turn around to watch you leave.
Dolores Mar 2021
Off the coast of Panama,
That's where I belong,
I got all the time,
There,
Where my only flower grows.

To Your pirate prisons please!
That's where I belong,
To the cold, dark, blue, grey cells of Yours
There,
Where my one true love hopes.

Lock me up and beat me up,
So I'll know that You love me,
The only love I've ever known,
There,
Was the love I found here.

Take all my time,
Like if I've never had it,
Years, decades, centuries?
There,
Where days are (not) my enemies.

For now, I can only wait,
For You to be my one sacred place,
Go and make me Your cellmate,
There,
Where I've always longed to be.
Dolores Jul 2021
Loss may get easier somehow,
Past times start to fade now,
You don't know who you want to be like,
Gosh, what does it take to be fine?

Familiar faces pass by,
You need to help yourself or at least try,
Who I was, I can't even rewind,
Just the colds in my hands and the 'be fine!'s

Should I know how to be right?
Leave my grief and my safe spots?
Reminding myself to be kind,
To people telling me to 'be fine!'
Dolores Sep 2022
I looked around
You were standing there,
He is not like anyone
I've ever seen I swear

Everything I love is in you
When you speak
Your words feel so true
Your world seems so blue

Even though it dressed you in brown
Even though it gave you no clouds
Only drought and sand in wind
Tiny planes, walls with hieroglyphics,

It also gave you space to thrive
I'm sure you were the golden child
And you gave your all, never waste a night
***** of fire burns your life.
Dolores Mar 2021
The birds You own,
And the cards You play with,
A ton of lucky choices,
But none to get away with.

You are the prey,
They will haunt You down,
It's their fault,
But it's You who dies.

Never think and never tell,
Dream a dream and make a plan,
Sleep under the starry sky,
Navigation, stars, moonlight.

They will find You,
But don't forgive them,
They will hurt You,
To **** their witness.
Dolores Apr 2021
Blue,
This word is just like glue,
it locks you up then drags you down.
Dolores Aug 2021
My storm, it was always lighter,
I figured out I'm not a fighter,
My ways to predict my own future,
At certain times it's such a torture,

I'm kind of coping, I eat and pray,
And force myself to break away,
From old habits and comfort zones,
Sweet memories of deep, blue ponds,

I compare my fate to others'
Hoping one day I can settle,
And be myself, feel proud, free, happy,
Find my place in this world I'm trapped in.
Dolores May 2021
What You think of Seneca?
I could be Your Lucilius,
Since there are many things I don't know,
Feels and things I don't show.

And every time, You make me wonder,
You're a thief but You never plunder,
Living with a moral compass,
You don't care about what they told us.

Charismatic, magnetic,
Words not enough to describe You,
Time after time I try to,
Not to talk about You.

Not to talk about You,
Not to think about You,
Not to dream about You,
My life not to be about You.

'Cause: "I am not to speak to You, I am to think of You when I sit alone or wake at night alone"
And I have to accept that,
Even if I'm not there yet.
Dolores May 2021
Everyone is better
Here I go, the latter
Their names are painted with gold
As for my story,
It will never be told,

Everyone is brighter,
And they are always higher,
Their pictures are framed
And hang in the hall of fame
That I will never enter.

I wish I could see what they see
I wish I could feel what they feel
I wish I could be proud of myself
Know what they think but can't tell
'Cause I am just a corner behind an old chair.
Dolores Nov 2021
Spreading through my lungs it scratches my throat then pokes my eyes out.

It acts quite tidewise.
Dolores May 2021
There are clouds under the shining Moon,
For me, they look like mountains.
Dolores Feb 29
I'm swinging it away
I'm giving You a hint,
I'm buying her a dark green mug,
Sugar-coated fairy plum.

Crystal drops roll down her face,
I give her presents,
A pile of things,
Shiny, sparkly, golden rings,

I buy her ships to sail away
So she could leave me any day.
I grow her flowers to lay on my tomb,
And pray that she is not alone.
Dolores Aug 2021
If you cut my ears
I won't still be no horse
I can only adapt,
But can't change for roles,

And while I just can't keep no hopes,
Failing to catch what Life may throw
My way to figure out,
I'm not a stayer, just a 'passer by'.
Dolores Jun 2022
I love those days,
When we don't part ways,
Every chord you play,
The things in words I can't explain,
When it comes to you.
"But it's often the bitter things, that I've seen
That compliment the ending."
Dolores Jun 2021
I cut down my roses
Before someone could take them
I cultivate my fields
After the storm had destroyed them.

And sometimes I play around,
Like the wind in winter times,
Or in the driest deserts and flattest fields,
I let my tears run down my face

I like to free myself sometimes,
Before getting back to sleepless nights,
And I hope that you can do it too,
I know it's not just all on you.
Dolores Jul 2021
You leave me
Then come back,
Always clever
In a combat,

You're constant,
But still deceptive,
You make losing
look unreceptive

Shoot your shot
I won't be angry,
But not having you
Might just end me.
Dolores Jun 2021
Sorry for keeping you,
After leaving me.
Dolores Nov 2022
He is so gray
Cold steel pain,
He drinks wine when it rains,

And when it rains too much
He drinks too much

And he forces his love upon me,
It's because I listen
I'm not lovely,

His eyes are blue
They look so dead,
And when he gets mad
He turns all red,

He talks to me with words so sweet,
Other times they cut so deep,
I really thought that you should know
I've gained much pain by loving you.
Dolores Jul 2021
You won the lottery
You got the best
The World is yours
I'm just the rest.

Hand on your chest
As you make your oath
You got what you wanted
You reached your goals.

So don't you care about me
Everyone wants you
And I'm well aware of the fact
That everyone adores you.

So run around now, feel liberated,
You have a reason,
To be celebrated,
Look what happened, you just made it.
Dolores Feb 1
Over Your body the clouds go
High, high and icily
And a little flat, as if they

Floated on a glass that was invisible.
Unlike swans,
Having no reflections;

Unlike You,
With no strings attached.
All cool, all blue. Unlike You

You, there on Your back,
Eyes to the sky.
The spider-man have caught You.

Winding and twining their petty fetters,
Their bribes-
So many silks.

How they hate You.
They conserve in the valley of Your fingers, they are inchworms.
They would have You sleep in their cabinets,

This toe, and that toe, a relic.
Step off!
Step off seven leagues, like those distances

That revolve in Crivelli, untouchable.
Let this eye be an eagle
The shadow of this lip, an abyss.

~ Sylvia Plath
My favorite from the one and only Sylvia Plath❁
Dolores Jul 2021
I hate my life,
As it is plain and simple,
I hate the way,
That I am the master,
And the jester,
At the same time,

And I'm so indicisive whether I should act or not,
Or pick or choose,
Or hate or love,
I simply just can't make up my mind,
And decide what I want from life,
If I want to live or just wait around,

And I'm always so anxious,
About the smallest things that happen'
While comparing myself to others,
As they are always better,
Even if it doesn't matter,
Since we won't be around forever.
Dolores Mar 2022
My love is winter skies,
Ice cold cheeks,
Rainy days and frozen tears

It's a series of sad songs,
The most melancholic,
But I don't mind it not being frolic

It's loosing, finding, keeping hope
Old park benches,
Not staying close

Like the future
That never comes
It's the kind that only haunts.
Dolores Apr 2022
It took me a while
But I realized
I can still walk the line
While looking at the sky.
Dolores Jan 2022
Where do you go?
You just died
I could see it
Like a thousand times

One step ahead
Fond of planning
Like the sharpest knife
Always stabbing

Bury your secrets
Under the birdbath
In your backyard
Through the red path

And I won't look for signs
My eyes wide shut
Still find yourself
Among prison walls
Dolores Jun 2021
Bluey the boy
Who will never get old
He lives in the clouds
Never cares about the passing times

Playing with his wingless kites
Tracing down the cold dark nights
Bathing in the rays of sun
Making jokes, oh it's so fun

Springless years
It never rains
Still loves every day he lives
Loving good ones, stealing thieves

Bluey don't you grow up please
Hopeful days will come my way
When I figure out that you're okay
They always sing it's not today.
Dolores Jun 2021
It's so late at night,
It's almost dawn,
Can I just stay,
And sit with you in the dark?

I envy your stories,
I wonder if you could share them,
Or should I just be quiet,
And slowly take a step back?

I always get so scared,
I hate to see you crying,
But guess this is what happens,
When it's late and your dreams are unwinding,

And there is nothing you can do about it.
Dolores Jun 2021
You are always trying,
I can't leave You I won't deny it,
It is a prison for two,
Now, everything I see is blue,

It is now so crystal clear,
This place for me is always dear,
I can find You, forever here,
I won't look for a better sphere,

So here goes nothing,
My favorite times,
Old gray walls and seacliffs, tides,
Where old men live and young ones die,

I know I can't win but I'll always try.
Dolores Sep 2021
Bold Pond blues
and deep Sea dives,
Morning teas
and weekend cries,

Late night binges
I can't stop,
Loosing myself
In fast food fights,

Happy places
found in nature,
Others trying
to become my teachers,

Warm, quick tears
on ice cold faces,
Escaping places,
Not leaving traces.
Dolores Oct 2021
I almost tripped over that chest I relocated two years ago,
It hasn't been there for ages but I keep forgetting,
I swear I still see its silhouette in the dark.
Dolores Jan 2022
Useless dreams
You can't sleep
Look at you
Blues so deep

In your nightmares
You see faces,
Blood red traces
Unsolved cases

Dead white flowers from a cab
You always end up in a trap
Reckless, brave you fear to feel
I hope he helps you to feel seen.
Dolores Nov 2021
I act as if the words I write down had power over me.
And when I do I always wonder...
What it's like to be blind and invisible?
Why is our life not liveable?
Dolores Aug 2021
Secrets,
Situations,
Secret situations,
They gonna' **** me.
Dolores Apr 2021
I'm always coming back,
Back and forth again,
I can't get myself,
Do anything rather than,
coming back,
And then forth
Again...
Dolores Feb 2021
You are the one with the lighter,
Nurturing the fire,
That lives on Your heart.

I wonder, why do You consider Yourself lucky?

I look at You, and I still don't know what You look like,
You got several, but which one is Your true side?
Are You moderate, courageous or equitable?
Being alive on a different land is unbearable.

I want to know where all Your visions come from,
'Cause I only got Gideon's who believes in the intangible.
You say You are a man of fortune,
Being alive at a different time is a torture.
Dolores Sep 2022
I still stop by that street at night
And stare into the abyss
I left a part of my past there
In shadows, secrets I reminisce

The cat you gave me
He died last year
I lost you too
Although, you are still quite near

It's all the things
I won't get back
All the words
That I left unsaid

And you still remember
The day that I was born
The date I hate
When I stole Her from You

Just imagine the life
You could have lived
Drummers, dancers, motors
She could have gotten all of it

And now she has untidy rooms
Where are all the colors, lovely books?
Just impatience and 'Hurry up!'s
'Why didn’t you fix them up's

Want to run but it’s only walls
And time doesn’t heal
You’ve tried that one
Too responsible for a runaway car.
Dolores Sep 2022
This desire
For someone to love us
To care about us
And for us to take care of them,
If I have someone I can talk to,
And when they ask me questions,
The same topics and interests
Is there anything more fulfilling than that?
Could that be the point of life?
Could that be the purpose of living?
Or the bane of our existence?
Dolores Jun 2021
I can see you in my steps,
Don't know why is that,
Your name comes up in places,
Conversations, late Night readings

You surround me like a wall,
Built around can't climb, too tall,
I'm the jester, the fool, the clown,
I've been here before, I can't be proud.
Dolores Sep 2023
He used to hide things for me
In the microwave
Or under a pile of serviette
In a metal room
Where I hid to eat
I ran away from all the heat
To talk about familiarities

He used to give things to me
On long working days
Chocolate ice cream,
Mixed with kindness
Served with dreams
Talks past midnights
Evening shifts

And when you were gone
My Mom told me,
That some things fade
And life moves on
Feelings shift
New plans will form
And loosing someone will keep you silent

But the things you gave me will always be kept.

Dolores Nov 2022
I’m so happy that the rain had stopped,
My hands got so tired of holding the umbrella.

While I should have just let the rain come.
Dolores Dec 2021
You pull me the curtain,
                        So I can see the lights
One of them turned red,
                       The other one went out
But I can still remember,
                       The way they used to look
And how they used to feel,
                       Some senses I can keep
Since I'm numb and only fear.
