Niveous
Slightly Lovely Dec 2018
Niveous, Your soul is niveous,
You dance slightly, following the wind,
You are separate, uniquely beautiful,
You are always cold, pale and thin,
And you are so beautiful, always falling for someone,
Always twirling in a cloud of life.
The sky is dark, but with you here, the world seems brighter...
Niveous, snowy or resembling snow.

Romeo and Juliet
Slightly Lovely Dec 2018
A hot and deep hatred
Burning fury and scorching wrath climb out my mouth,
Your family indignifies mine,
Your bloodline an atrocity,
I mope and weep and hope for death,
But I soon decide I’d rather yours.
Blood lust and icy glares,
Unforgiven crimes and unapologetic faces.
I send a knife through my kin,
I destroy my only future,
The heat suffocates our sweltering bodies,
And my blood becomes the sun.
I watch the bodies pile up, I swear aloud and fight the urge to growl
A simple hand gesture can start a brawl
And a single kiss can start the bloodshed.
Hatred courses through these roads,
Filling the cracks between our city,
I curse and swing my sword
Thrashing and fighting,
Dodge, step, attack,
All our futures bleed out,
Drying on the cobblestones.

A kiss
Warm shivers,
cold winds
Night walks,
broken promises,
Love and lust,
Soft touches of red and fire,
Cold dread, constant worry,
Joy overflows,
Love blinds
Hate kills,
Lust torments,
Pain and fear, suffering and mourning,
But still,
We love.
A feeling fleeing to the dark,
Something makes me want to follow,
Fluttery feelings,
Quick succession,
A garden full of life,
A kiss,
A beginning,
The means to an end,
Love
This was a school project....

To you, the friends
Slightly Lovely Dec 2018
You, the boy with the large flannels and red hair,
You the boy with the puffy eyes and soft hugs,
The boy I don’t know well yet but already love,
The boy who smells of fallen leaves and cinnamon
You haven’t been in my world very long, but when I see you it makes my day
All the dumb jokes, easy smiles, and quiet understandings,
All of your soft affections are why I wish we were closer.

You, the girl with the high skirts and the curves,
You, the girl with tights and cat sweaters,
The girl who I wish for when I feel desperate, when I need a hug,
The girl who smells of floral air, of clean soap.
You provided a comfort I didn’t know I needed,
All the kisses on my cheek, the soft embraces and the warm intertwining of fingers,
All these things are why I’m so grateful I met you.

You the boy with the yellow beanie and the inked hands,
You, the boy who’s always laughing to scare away the sadness,
The boy who taught me the importance of acceptance,
The boy who smells of marshmallows and smoke.
You made me realize that there’s more to life than good grades and church,
All those deep conversations, the uncontrolled laughter, and the love for your friend group,
All these moments are all the reasons I’m so glad we’re friends.

You the girl with the long legs and the monotone clothes,
You, the girl with the elegant figure and the ever changing hair,
The girl who has always been there,
The girl who smells of pine needles and tea,
You who always knows, and is closer to me  than anyone,
All those inside jokes, soul sharing and constant support,
All this love is why I’m still here…

You, the boy with mocha skin and the dark eyes,
You, the boy with the charming personality and intimidating anger,
The boy who I wish I knew better,
The boy who smells like the dark clouds before a rainstorm,
You are unknown to me, but when you smile at me it makes my heart warm with motherly love,
All the kind remarks, humorous glances and small blushes
All of your characteristics make me yearn for a longer conversation.

You, the girl with the blonde curls and bold eyes,
You, the girl with the shared silence and the quiet mouth,
The girl who I rant to, the one who shares my book loving nature
The girl who will squeal over Harry Potter, and talk at the perfect times.
The girl who smells of new books and ocean spray,
You make me regret my too timid nature, make me wish we had started our friendship earlier,
All the random topics, long rants and knowing looks
All of  your endearing quirks are why I hope you never leave

You, the boy with the great style and fun hair,
You, the boy who is so extra and yet still calming,
The boy I can always hug and who always jokes,
The boy who lives in an unknown world of pop culture and makeup,
The one who smells of tree bark and bubbly cologne
You remind me of my brother, bringing with you familiarity and laughter,
All your performances, loud exclamations and soft conversations,
All aspects of you make me glad I got the ***** to make friends

You, the girl with the speckled face and brown eyes,
You, the girl with sass and snark
The girl who was always kind, and is always up for a conversation,
The girl willing to talk about everything and nothing at all
You who smells of softly tread dirt and new life,
All your pretty pictures, moments of comisory, and kind words,
All these things are why you make me smile
I'll probably add on to this later

Three days
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
You’re coming home,
Three days,
Three days and I’ll be pressed against your chest,
No more facetiming across the world,
No more calling at midnight while you pick up at 6am…
Instead of uneasy words,
When I cry you can hold me, you can twirl my hair and rub my back
Like you used to.
When I want to scream you can drive me out to the middle of nowhere and let me,
We can drive again, music blaring, voices singing,
hands out the window and smiles plastered to our faces.
Three days until I get my brother back...

Self Observation
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
I hate the stretch marks on my thighs,
I hate the way I smile
I hate my chubby tummy and the way my arms flap,
I detest my hands, my odd fingers.
I despise the fat under my chin, the bump on my nose,
And I dislike my broad shoulders

I love my muscle in my calves,
I love my blue eyes, my long eyelashes,
I love my lips,
I like my long caramel hair
I take pride in my curves and indented waist
And I adore my sense of fashion...
Trying hard to like myself more...
Nov 2018 · 108
sorry
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
Im sorry
I know i’m clingy,
I know you don’t understand the hugs I need when I’m sad,
The embraces I give when I’m happy,
I understand that you simply don’t get this side of me.
This part of me that physically latches onto anyone I cuddle with,
The constant touch and contact I give and take.
I’m sorry I’m desperate and I need you constantly,
I know that you don’t understand how I can be so vain, and yet so self conscious,
The soft parts of me are so molded to be who my friends need,
And yet I can feel so alone.
I’m sorry….

I always knew
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
Glittering snow and fall forests
You tilt your head,
Fires rage in silent icy whispers,
I rest, enjoying the pillow your shoulder provides
The leaves dapple everything in reds and golds…
I take a risk, nuzzling into your neck…
Dark clouds bring the promise of a white morn
You lean into me, and I revel in our companionship

People are as flighty and reliable as the weather,
And I always knew it wouldn’t last,
But you left as quickly as the rain, and you’ll never return...
Nov 2018 · 574
I remember....
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
Closer and Closer
I watch as my hand touched yours,
You didn’t flinch,
But i know you’ll only like me in a platonic way.
I wish we weren't pulled apart,
I wish i didn’t argue and hiss,
I wish we weren't rivals from the start.
You’re eyes are violent and deep, a storm trapped inside a person.
The pieces of you I tease, are my way of hiding what I love.
Your hair, your anger…
It’s easier to simply forget, to not remember you’re human too.
To hide that time we bonded, that time you held me, the smile you so rarely flash…
Okay I'm not even going to hide it. This is total klance. I'm kinda having a hard ship. Like, ITS INTENSE MAN.

You and Me

Comfortable silences and quiet kisses

Identity
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
If a being could be shaped,  
Molded by the emotions enveloping them,
What form will it take?


What personality changes are affected by love.
And which actions of hate mold your soul?

These people I keep close, this family of comfort I’ve made,
Is that who I am?
Is it the gentle kisses, or these sad whimpers that have created me?

...
Will I ever be anything more than my Identity?
Slightly Lovely Nov 2018
I wish you could live inside my heart, see deep into my soul.
I wish you could rest in our love, be calmed by our mutual “more than friends”
I hope you would see me, feel me and tell me I’m better than I think of myself.
I hope you know how much I love you, adore your smile and how much I wish I could be loved.
I want you to comfort me, to get closer, to stay when I say go.
I want you to understand i’m pushing you away because I care too much, and it’ll only hurt when you eventually leave...
I know you’ll never feel the same, you could never love me, but I want you to understand how loved you are, because if the situations were reversed, I’d want the same.
I know this is cliche, but sometimes these words must still come out...
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
Your face brings joy to the forefront of my mind
I look at you and know that no matter what,
I’ll be alright. I can be okay.
But along with that, there are times I think of you and my eyes *****
They burn with unshed tears, And for the life of me, I can’t understand why.
Maybe looking at such a great being, at such a wonderful friend, simply is too great for comprehension.
Maybe this feeling brings the same sadness as watching the night sky, and listening to the thunder,
Maybe when I look at you I see sunflowers and daisies, I see the forest in all its majesty.
But whatever the reason, you make me want to live everyday like its my last,
Your friendship brings out that part of me that wants to dance without a care,
That wishful part of me that believes I could sing without anxiety.
You make me want to feel soft kisses, and sometimes when I think of you…
It makes me wish for small tears that never come...

Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
As long as I'm with you it's okay.
You wrap me in your arms,
protecting me from myself.
My heart was yours from the start.
In this unwavering love, your peace surrounds me
I'm found in you, and here I'll stay
lost from the world

Platonic Crush.......i hope
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
I wish you feel these secret emotions
These impulses I lock away, praying to God they’re purely platonic.
I wish to wrap my fingers in your hair,
I wish your uniquely cinnamon scent was up for grabs.
Your fluffy sweaters drape you well,
And your puffy eyes peak out like an unforeseen storm.
If only you would feel the way I do.
But if you do not, can we still be friends?
there's this guy i know, he seems great and i hope our friendship grows stronger, but my emotions are all muddled and i'm hoping, really hoping i don't want more...
He's one of my best friends best friends, and it would be just so dramatic, and i know for a fact he doesn't like me, i doubt he even thinks of me as a friend yet...

yellow
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
The taste of butterscotch and sunshine laces my lips.
And the scent of honey and smoke fills my lungs,
If I could choose one color, it’d be your love.
You are the warm glow of fire,
making even the darkest of places your home.
And if you could stay my friend, I’d greatly appreciate your kindness,
I know others are closer,
but when they pull you with them, begging for your soft glow,
I wish we’d stay here, closer in our friendship of yellow
okay this was a pure emotional write and i sort of hate it but imma post it anyway and just hope no one cares about how absolute trash it is..

If You Only Knew
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
If you only knew, that your depression, your despondency, would only last a moment...
I beg,
Don't make a decision that is eternal, for one period of time.
For one year of bleakness.
Don't deprive yourself of a happy ending.
If you only knew how much love for you I've been given.
If you only knew how many hours I spent praying for you.
How often I sobbed.
If you only knew how much He loves you.
If you only knew of the joy awaiting you, how, the life in every fiber of your soul is so incredibly inspiring.
If you only knew...
My best friend attempted suicide in 6th and 7th grade. both of those times i added something to this poem... It's not the best, a bit outdated and prematurely written, but it was a very healthy coping method for me.
Oct 2018 · 243
You
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
You
A thousand delicate moments,
of fall forests, and moon music...
A soft whisper,
of peachy dreams, and diamond winds...
Reaching, always searching,
An impossibility, a forbidden caress.
I can never have  You.

Simply me
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
I'm sad
I'm tired,
I don't know why,
And trying seems a bit hard,
But don't let that fool you,
I love my life,
I love my world,
And this is simply...
Me
life is a bit weird right now, but i'm doing pretty good fam.

Expectations
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
A life of sun
A way of love,
I missed you all,
I don't know your expectations,
I don't know your love,
I can't think of why
you'd pick to be friends with me.
But If you want to,
I'd accept,
Because you've exeeded
All of mine.

I’m From
Slightly Lovely Oct 2018
I’m from Late night movies, goodnight phone calls, and reading till morning.

I’m from dragonfly walls, lost sleepovers, and 3am hot-tubbing.

I’m from spadolini sauce, moonpies, peach rings, and truffle popcorn.

I’m from my struggles that made me strong, my joy that propelled me through life, and my friends who taught me the beauty of the broken hearted.

I’m from the lyrics of Oh wonder, Lily Ire, and Elizaveta.

I’m from the movement of air past my face, the spinning of limbs through silk, and the taut of my muscles before I fly.

I’m from my mom with her comforting touch, and my Dad with his sweet humor.

I’m From Driving through tunnels of green - darkness all around -hand out the window, music blasting-  And My brother sitting next to me, singing like an angel...
This is a project for school, but i learned a lot about myself in the process. Pls enjoy

Seasons
Slightly Lovely May 2018
You are an unfamiliarity,
You see the clouds that cry,
And you follow suit,
You see the birds singing,
So you join in,
You hear the winds blowing,
And you let yourself be blown away,
But when you see the sun smile,
You never smile back...

But i'll stay,
Like i always have...

perfectionism
Slightly Lovely May 2018
What a horrible word
What an impossible reality
My family happens to be well rounded
Famous brother
Successful Christian Mom
Incredible Dad
Sociable Sister
And then there's me
Everyone expects so much
How could i ever make it in their eyes?
Truth be told...
I gave up trying
My grades are excellant
My chores are done
I have a job
Im nice to my siblings
And yet...
I'm not allowed to text my friends
No internet on my phone
No games
No breathing room
I'm not allowed to be there for them
There is a point in which my parents expect too much
Neither me or my friends did wrong
They are simply living in a dangerous houshold
a n d
That means goodbye...
my parents are overprotective, and perfectionists, leading me to develop eating disorders and depression... im better now, but i had to lead myself to recovery, and im having a difficult time....

Leave
Slightly Lovely May 2018
Leave his heart
Forget his face
Surrender  his smell
You need to forget this place...
You're no longer his counterpart
Give up his embrace
Forget the fact, you knew him well
We'll never close this amount of space

My Strength
Slightly Lovely May 2018
A voice so deep,
It sounds like it was always there,
And yet so quiet,
It's almost hard to hear,
The light in the darkest nights,
And the shield that protects me,
When my burden is too hard to bear,
My lord is with me
Everywhere

Dreaming
Slightly Lovely May 2018
I am stuck, dreaming
I wonder what dream is awaiting me in this dark place
I hear my perfect dream calling
I see a floating, breathing thing
I want to leave, and then i don’t
I am stuck, dreaming

I pretend  i won’t wake
I feel as free as air
I touch my perfect ecstasy
I worry that my mind is a million miles away
I cry out, for i cannot wake
I am stuck, dreaming

I try to be heard
I understand what i must do
I say that  reality has a price
And i hope for freedom
I am stuck, dreaming
A school project, my teacher really liked it, so i thought i would post it

Shadows
Slightly Lovely May 2018
Then i plunge down, under the gelid water
And the world around me softens
I open my eyes to a familiar glow
The muffled light and the deepened shadows
Remind me of a time when all we said was “hello”

When you leave, i’ll still seek her
But she never left that stupid coffin
So it seems we’ll never know
The world beyond the shadows

fictional crushes
Slightly Lovely May 2018
A fictional character,
An unrealistic goal,
I feel for him more than any other
And now what am I supposed to do?
I guess I’ll never love someone real…
So i’ll just hide from reality
Until someone finds me.
He is fake, and i know it
But at least i can’t ruin it in my imagination
One day i hope it’ll be different
I can’t experience reality like a normal person,
So i’ll just live with the fake
And die alone

...
You aren’t your worst actions
You are not your hair
Nor your height
You aren’t your age
Or your skin
You aren’t your name
Or your weight
You are not your clothes
And you aren’t what others think of you,

You are the smiles you try to hide
And all the words you speak
You’re all your favorite books
And your  croaky morning voice
You are the hope in your laughter
And every tear that has ever escaped your eyes.

You are the songs you sing at the top of your lungs when you’re alone,
And the dances you do in secret
You’re the things you believe in
And the struggle it took you to be here today
Your the art you create
And the love that you share.

You are so beautiful
But it seems you’ve forgotten
And decided you were defined
By all the things you are not.
based on a poem by ~e.h

The words in red
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
I CRIED
HE WHISPERED
I CALMED AND TRIED TO LISTEN
“YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE LOVED”
WHY DID EVERYONE TELL ME THIS
IT ISN’T TRUE.

“I KNOW YOUR HURTING, BUT THIS WORLD IS NOT YOUR HOME”
I KNOW SO WHY LIVE IN IT?
“BECAUSE, LOOK AT THE WORLD AROUND YOU”
I TURN, AND I SEE HORRORS
BUT BEHIND THAT THERE ARE MIRACLES
THERE IS BEAUTY
AND IT MIGHT TAKE A HUNDRED SLEEPLESS NIGHTS JUST TO HEAR HIS  VOICE,
OR A MILLION TEARS TO BREAK MY WALLS AND SEEK HIS  COMFORT,
BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE CAN SEE.
SO I WILL LIVE ON,
IN AWE AND WONDER

And you just stand there

Poem from my young years
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
I miss my friend
The girl she used to be,
I love her but how do i tell her that she is my best friend,
and also tell her that she is sometimes so mean that i don’t know what to do?

She is nice 3 out of 5,
But is 2 enough to say stop?
I know she’s hurting,
But is that an excuse to continue hurting others?

When something happy happens, will she let it last?
Or will it be the end of everything?
Does she know how much we need each other?
We are like two magnets with a vertical piece of wood between them,
If one lets go the other would fall.

Summer’s over rated, it’ll never be ok until
friends can be friends,
And we can always be together...

Simply Sad
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
I’ve been dreaming about you
And I realised, i never got to know
Until i realised that we were overdue
You were already gone
And your broken parts
Were scattered and twinkling
like the morning dew
In the morning dawn
Always out of reach

Blue
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
Blue
We are blue
Glowing in light and colour and life
Ineffably bright

Moving in the rhythm of our secrets
Loving on the color
Blue
We are blue
Igniting the colours of this life in all of their vibrancy.

You and I
We conflate together
Never  alone.
I've got you.
and you've got me

Time is trickling past
Friends and lovers
One soul blurs into another
So many people but just one face
So many colours but only one I can’t erase
The colour of the sky that we gazed upon mid June
The gently lapping waves of the lake that
Threatened to take you

The light in your eyes that separates you
A billion lives flicker and take flight
Green and grey and brown and white
In the midst of a rainbow of emotion and life
There is a pale flash, once, then twice

We are but snapshots of existence on this earth
We rise and then fall in an instant
Death, followed by birth
In the short time we have, I seek much and find little

It’s okay though, because
I am blue
And so are you

Separate Lovers
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
I was a piece
In your puzzle
Taking and giving
A breath of imaginary love
In and out
Waves of our lives
And you drew out of my harbor

You were certain
So was i
But some things shouldn’t last
And you were meant for her...
But i’m still hurt

And oh
I loved you
A cry of life
In a world of lukewarm
Moving in the rhythm of our secrets
Rising and falling instantaneously
But I was misinformed

You and me
You and her
Vertically falling
Always seeing you
When i close my eyes
Behind my lids

And oh
I loved you
A statement of love
In a world of lukewarm
Moving in the rhythm of our secrets
Growing and sinking into our shadows
But I was misinformed

I don’t regret this
But i wish i could forget us
Because i deserve sleep
And you deserve to be happy
But i guess that's why you left

I breathe in
You breathe out
I go under
You go up
Separate lovers
With separate love
This is more like a song... It's actually for a friend of mine, who is not doing so well.

Moment by Moment
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
Best friends
The water rolling past our windows,
The crisp air pouring through the sunroof
Sunlight in our hair, Music blaring
****** hotels
Late night screaming,
To songs we all love
This is what it feels like to be friends

Staying up to talk
And going swimming
All night and day
Climbing up
On top of an antique car
Playing music, and stargazing
These are the things we’ll do
When we grow up together
Don’t you see our future
We’ll be friends forever

Sipping tea alone by a window in a new world
Remembering us and smiling
Texting you
Meeting up yearly
Time flying while we’re living
Hanging out long past,
While watching our children play by the water
Remembering us
Moment by moment.

And when she needed me most,
You took me away

A.L.O.N.E.
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
I live in a world,
where being alone in public is a fear,
I love to be alone
But, at school, without a friend
It’s basically a warzone,
Without a weapon, without a shield
And i hope you feel better
Cause no one else was here
And i’m so sorry
For doing the same to you…
But if you can,
Please come back,
I know its hard, but im all alone
One friend sick,
Another missing,
One at therapy,
And one gone to her home for school,
I guess today, i’ll be brave
Cause i'm alone, and it’s a sunny day

Dreamt alone
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
A face long gone,
A lover never known,
A place forgotten,
All because,
I’m alone…

Rain is falling,
The sun shining,
Moods changing,
My worlds’ falling,
I will hang on,
Even though it’s hard,
I need the pain
To know that It’s reality,
And not a dream…

Why did you leave?,
I needed you here,
But It’s okay,
You have your own fears,
I have to fight, to stay awake,
But with you gone,
It all seems to fade...

Secrets
Slightly Lovely Apr 2018
When you open your eyes,
Heavy from  sleep,
Your body trying to keep your mind out of reality,
And make it stay in your dream,
And no matter how hard you try,
You just can’t remember,
And yet the emotion lingers,
Leaving you nostalgic,
And feeling like you just left,
The most real and authentic moment of your life.
Well I have a secret,
Those nights when your mind wanders,
You are connected,
To that one person
The soulmate you haven't met,
That is why,
When you meet them,
It’s like you've known them all your life…
Some ideas, you just have to hold onto, for fear you'd fall apart without them. This is one of those ideas for me

Syzygy
Alignment of three celestial bodies,
My mind
My body
My soul
I await the day
When I am all I'm meant to be,
I await the day that
I become a force to be reckoned with,
I await my Syzygy.

I may be silent
I may be an introvert
I may be that silent kid in the back
And I know sometimes my thoughts are violent
But my soul will be deafening

Yes,
I guess sometimes
I would rather be in a book than reality
But if we could talk you’ll see
That I am really not that bad

And I might not always express it
But my feelings are sometimes suffocating me
And I can’t always tell you
I will try,
maybe not in the ways you know
But hopefully you’ll pick up
on my thoughts

I sit and I listen
As a wallflower; I know the secrets
That are not always audible…

The secret of the wallflower
I may be silent
I may be an introvert
I may be that silent kid in the back
And I know sometimes my thoughts are violent
But my soul will be deafening

Be yourself
There is no one else
Be who you are
and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind
And I don’t mind

I guess I Shouldn’t
cry because it's over,
But  smile because it happened
It might overcome the sadness,
But i never quite escape the nostalgia…

How do you live,
With these broken memories in your head,
And happy feelings in your heart?

No one ever listens
How do I move on with the weight of my past on my back,
The comfort so welcoming
I always cry
Over the things that don’t matter

Hiding the hurt,
hiding the pain,

Hiding the tears that fell like rain…
So long ago, and yet,
Time is weird in my head
Nostalgic feelings

— The End —
