Cotton, linen, polyester
Silk, wool, leather
Hmm...I have something better
Trust, humility, honesty
Respect, compromise, individuality
Let me sweep you off your feet
Before you can even take a leap
I don’t mind opening doors
Won’t tease you if you snore
Only please you without bore
For making you smile is not a chore
Let you eat all the cake
But a long hike we will take
So you don’t sleep full of hate
A veggie omelette I will make
For breakfast before you awake
A promise to take an oath
To brew coffee for us both
Every morning until we’re old
Will keep you warm when it’s cold
For I was once told
That your presence will mould
Into my body like clay
For I can’t wait for the day
Where we can both finally play
House and paint it all gray
Because modern is our way
So let’s bind our souls
Till we turn to gold
For that is the goal
We are in control
Lets put on this show

I knew my heart was in danger
But I didn’t care
I knew I couldn’t change her
I was prepared
But what she made me feel
Was so unreal
Every heartbreak was worth it
And in the end
My heart’s still broken

Her affection
Ill always want more
She’s my addiction
That I crave for
Why’d I let her in?
I knew I was playing with fire
But what she had to offer
Was my desire

I’m not stupid
I can read her actions
She tells me she loves me
Like a mutual attraction
Making me feel like a queen
But I know it’s part of her routine
She played me like a game
And I let her
I’m practically a beggar
To make myself feel better
Even though I know
She doesn’t feel the same

Sweaty palms
And shaky knees
So nervous
For what’s in store for me
A new world I entered
Spontaneously
Today’s the first day
Will I succeed?
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
Why all the hate in the world?
When you only care for a girl
You make one wrong turn
And all you wanna do is burn
These few bad moments
Now you’re in a predicament
If it was too much
If she keeps in touch
How sad is it to rhyme girl with world
And all you see is her
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
Friendships that you build
Relationships that begin
All start with joy and hearts fulfilled
Then life hits you with a semi-truck
And reality greets you with a new direction
And all you wanna say is “****!”
Because you realize it’s time to say goodbye

The good ones always leave
Why do people say that?
When they don’t notice actually
That whom ever is leaving
Is losing a huge chunk of their heart
They lose one person, big deal
I lose everyone and that tears me apart

I give thanks to the ones who’s been good to me
For making this chapter of my life memorable
To all the laughs that’s been shared endlessly
And making my ******* day bearable
I give these thanks to you
For you’ve brought meaning to my existence
This is not a goodbye for it is
A continuous appreciation from a distance.

They said to wear a dress
They said to wear heels
They said to wear make up
But they don’t know how I feel

I’m supposed to like boys
I’m supposed to make you proud
But I’m sorry momma
I had to come out

I wanna stay true to myself
It ain’t easy being this way
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Forgive me for being gay

I was born different
I know you don’t understand
But this is my statement
I’m sorry it didn’t go as planned

Cheers to another happy year!
Let’s have a toast with a beer!
Or wine since that’s your thing
Let’s go have a drink
And celebrate your special day!
Happy birthday!
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
You used to adore me
Then I finally let you in
And now all you see
Are my flaws and insecurities

Is it all in my head
Or did you prove myself right
Is it because of what I said
Or what I did that night

I was so stupid
I was so foolish
I knew I shouldn’t have done it
But couldn’t help and be selfish

All I wanted was to express
And now I’m depressed
Because of the excess
Actions I could’ve accessed

I can be obsessive
But please see my intentions
I was trying to be impressive
But all it caused was tension

This is my flaw, I know
I just wanted to show
All the love that you deserve
But it’s that I couldn’t preserve
Hapless Writer Sep 2019
You are the biggest ***** I ever knew
You also carry the biggest heart that ever grew
How am I so blessed to have a sister such as you
I guess I caught one of those lucks that God threw

Forgive me for always pulling your strings
I apologize for putting you through everything
Excuse me for pushing you to your limits
I’m sorry for every time I did it

Know that I do this constantly
To convince myself that someone actually
Exists and accepts me for me
Of course, other than Tiffany

Even though I’ll be miles away
I’ll still love you the same
So please don’t ever change
For I’ll be coming home to this same place

You’re the realest ***** out there
Can’t compare to any of these heifers
Best believe I’ll stick around forever
Cuz I’m so proud to call you my sister

To my number one competitor
With all hopes that you realize
That on this side of the hemisphere
You have the best thing that’s alive

She may be polyamorous
With all people to choose
To be promiscuous
You got nothing to lose

I would be fortunate to even come close
To be in your green, lucky shoes
No one deserves to be with her
You and I know that’s the truth

Hold on to her tight
I’m just experimental
I’ll never be on that spotlight
You have someone special

Loneliness is brutal
5 years every night
Is what I’m used to
Tonight is the first sight
Without you by my side
Can we go back in time
When your body
Was next to mine
And your warmth
Felt so right
With absolutely
No blight
I miss you so dearly
Can 6 months
Fly quickly
So we can be
Together again
Just like we used to
Back then
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
6 months
That’s 24 weeks
24 weeks of loneliness
24 weeks without the dose of you
Am I making the right decision?
Let’s focus on the optimal point of view
I just have to remember
That this is for us
I’ll be back in October
There’s nothing more to discuss
I’m building a foundation for our future
So please stay strong
We’ll be together sooner
I know it seems so long
Just know that you have my heart
And nothing in this world can tear us apart

“Bad habits never die” is what they say
That’s why I find myself coming back to you
Through hardships and sorrows, night and day
You’re the one and only thing I turn to
With all of the broken promises I made
My feen for you will never fade
Addiction is a lifelong battle
If only it could all unravel
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
Why is it so much easier
To write when you’re sad?
It’s like you get gifted
With words you never had
You get so inspired
To express how you feel
Even when you’re not a writer
You just want to reveal
These emotions of sorrow
Then you want to borrow
A pen to write what follows
The words you wanna swallow
So that you can stay sane
And hope to feel less pain
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
Deep red skies
And the glow in your eyes
Like the northern lights
Immerse in my soul
With no control
It overflows
As my abdomen flutters
In this scorching summer
Without a slumber
Waiting for the day
You’ll finally say
That you’ll choose to stay
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
You finally texted me
And I stopped sweating
The wrinkles on my stomach went away
The moths in my gut escaped that way
And the butterflies stayed
I was relieved

I thought you hated me
I thought I’d have to live
With this feeling in the dark
The feeling of not knowing where to start
If you still cared
If I pushed too hard
Then there you were
Now it’s no longer a blur
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
I took your first sip
And when it grasped
Every taste bud on my tongue
It reminded me of when
I first heard my favorite song
Yearning for more
I go out of my way
Overcoming each obstacle
Just to get my dose of the day
I give in to my compulsion
For your compelling flavor
To fulfill this longing satisfaction
From this brief intermission
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
Sleepless nights and dehydration
No food in my system
Since hunger is extinct
And rest is misused
For we do not have ample time
Smoke in my lungs take place
Fumes from this fire
Till I can no longer breathe
While taking gulps of these spirits
As they run through my organs
All to rid of this agony
That fails to disappear
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
You don’t have to lie to me
I can take it
If only you can see
That I am worth this
Quit playing games
And making me think
That I’m not lame
Ill just take a drink
to numb this sorrow
Of not knowing
If you’re actually fake
I'm stuck here thinking
That you actually like me
When your acting
Like you’re already
Over this phase
Say it to my face
So I can erase
This fantasy that I placed
So close to my heart
Just so I can be shot like a dart
And left alone in the dark
I should just accept it
That we should be apart
We’ll never be together
Though with you
All I want is forever.
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
The eyes of these four walls
Comforts the muscles on my fingers
Like a sweater in the fall
While I write words that linger
On this blank piece of paper
That shouldn’t be about you
These arteries clog with every thought
Of our admiration so anew
An emotion I never realized I sought
Tearing this sheet in two
Symbolize a goodbye that’s overdue
Hoping these feelings undo
For I am well askew
As the rain falls from the sky so blue
And the clouds bury the beam’s sightly view
To remind my shadows I should not pursue
To keep on writing about you
Hapless Writer Aug 2019
The definition of you and me
Is what really can’t be
But I still show all my affection
Because you are my perfection

Those big beautiful eyes
And that smirky smile
I can’t even emphasize
This feeling inside

The love that you express
So genuine, so true
While I’m still so impressed
How I even got you

When you hold my hand
and hug me so tight
I just can’t comprehend
Why this feels so right

I’ll always look down that aisle
Hoping to see your beautiful face
And your big *** smile
That I just want to chase

I’ll never forget
The love that we shared
Nothing will ever
Be there to compare

Now that you’re gone
You left my heart shattered
But still filled with your love
And that’s all that matters

Maybe someday I can make you mine
But for now, It’s these moments I’ll treasure.
Hapless Writer Sep 2019
A role model you’re supposed to be
And I really want to believe
That I can trust you with all my heart
But you have to do your part

How can I put my life in your hands
And live under your roof
With absolutely no plan
Without any proof

I’m old enough to understand
And not have to pretend
That you’re not that man
That I hoped for in the end

They tell me you’ll never change
And this might seem strange
But I’ll always be that lad
That says “I have the best dad”
Hapless Writer Sep 2019
Wishful well
Take my penny
Make it come true
Affection is all I want
Love is all I need
How can this be?
Happiness is expected
Yet lonesome still visits
And feedback is yearned
Attention I long for
Oh where it could be?

— The End —
