I Write
Lye Nov 2018
I write
I write the truth
I write what I feel
And what I don't

I write
I write about me
I write about you
Letters of truth

I write
I write my love
I write my pain
And everything in between

My writing is the closest you'll ever get to the real me

Never Again
Lye Nov 2018
Sometimes
When I lie in bed at night
I think of your hug
Whispering "I love you" in my little ear
And I cry
I cry
       And cry
                  And cry
                             And cry
Because I know I can never have it again
I don't really know where this came from. I haven't experienced it. It kind of just popped into my head.

When you walk into a room
The happy atmosphere falls away
Plunging deeper
                      and deeper
                                    and deeper
Into the dark abyss
And you bring with you
The sad, depressed, annoyed feeling
We all try to ignore
But
I feel it everywhere
In everything I
See
Touch
Taste
Hear
And smell
I feel it in my soul
And I can't believe you don't
This happened to me this Thanksgiving, let's just say it wasn't the best one ever.

Once Upon A Time
Lye Nov 2018
Once upon a time
A beautiful girl smiled at the sky
And the sky smiled back

Once upon a time
That same girl went out again
And smiled at the sun
And the sun smiled back

Once upon a time
That beautiful girl went out at the stroke of midnight
Just to smile at the stars
And all of them,
Every single one,
Smiled right back

Once upon a time
The moon knew it was its turn
To be gifted with the smile
Of the beautiful young girl
So it waited
                and waited
                             and waited
But the girl never came

The girl had something more important to do
Then smiling at the moon
No one knows what happened to the beautiful girl
But the moon still waits
Every night
At the stroke of midnight
For that same girl
To bestow her beautiful smile upon it
As she did the other shining ornaments
Of the sky
Just a random story I made up. I actually went to the page in here with all the words I've written, and the words, "Girl, sky, smile, beautiful" stuck out to me and gave me inspiration.

Self Loathing
Lye Nov 2018
I know I don’t have many friends
I mean, who would even want to be my friend
I am just an ugly,
annoying, girl
who writes bad poetry
Well, I can crack a good joke if the opportunity comes up,
but is that really that important?
Only one person has ever liked me back,
and he was a total *******
so,
I attract *******
Because I am a lot like them
Sorry that I am just rambling on
It’s just one of my many repulsive traits
Not that there are any that are attractive
I just needed to get that out of my system.

a rose won't help me decide
picking off the petals
until the stem is bare
because every time I see you
you remind me of all you have done
to hurt me
to hurt her
but I can’t hate you
because I love you too much,
I love you way too much

I Love You
Lye Nov 2018
My hand fits perfectly
Holding yours
And we share our darkest secrets
Behind closed doors
Your brightest smile can lift my deepest frown
And with each other
No one would ever turn us down
I cannot express to you
How much I truly love you
Me and my best friend <3
Lye Nov 2018
Love is forever
Or so I always thought
Many hold on
But some may fall

You vowed to love each other
Until death do you part
But you decide you will not
And that breaks my heart

Forever is a strong word
To have it we all aspire
But it seems to me
Forever sometimes expires

I know it is for the best
But I still resent it
We will get by it
Nothing will prevent it

Redundant
Lye Nov 2018
There are so many things
I want to say to you
About how you hurt me
The words are stuck in my throat
And though I try to force them out,
They won't leave my mouth
Because I know that if I let them out
It will just hurt you
And that will hurt me even more
I don't really know who this is about, many people have done this to me.

Unfinished
Lye Nov 2018
Whenever I try to write a poem,
I start with an unfinished thought,
And then I have no idea where to go from there

It is just that I alwa-
Does anyone else experience this?

Why
Lye Nov 2018
Why
What do only gay people have to come out?
I mean like, get with the times, people!
It's 2018!
Gay is normal! Gay is beautiful!
I wish straight people had to come out too
I want them to know how ****** it feels
To be frowned upon, disapproved of,
Because of who you are
I think about this way too much.

A Thought
Lye Nov 2018
Why is it good to laugh
And bad to cry
When laughs are sometimes fake?
Just something I was thinking about.

Clock
Lye Nov 2018
I tell you the time, day in and day out
If I was not here then you would shout
“I’m late! I'm late!”
Oh, what a shame
That you were late and I'm to blame
I'm the reason you're on time to work
And your boss doesn't think that you're a ****
Many take my presence for granted
Like many do not know the world is slanted
They think it's common knowledge that
The clock is always there
But when I break
It's too late
Better say your prayers
A poem from the point of view of a clock.

Coming Out
Lye Nov 2018
If someone asks if you’re gay,
All you have to do is say
“I don’t know, are you?”
Well, that’s awkward,
But it will confuse them long enough
For you to run back into the closet
And hug your (obvious) gayness and say
“It’s ok, we’ll come out soon enough.”

Us
Lye Nov 2018
Us
Your face
Two freckles beside your upper lip
And slightly plump cheeks sit below
Eyes the hue of the leaved trees
Your mouth curves into a smile
We laugh until we’re crying
Together
Apart
You
Me
Us

Sunset
Lye Nov 2018
Warm colors
Pink, orange
Red, yellow
Light up the dimming sky

A giant ball of fire
Descending down,
Down,
And down

Darkness falls over the world
The moon peeks
Over the mountain tops
Slowly ascending into the sky

Stars blink
Lighting the way
Through the darkness
Of our world

That is our life
The cycle of the Earth
We rarely recognize it
But that is what it deserves

Night
Day
Today
Tomorrow

We don’t know what is coming
But we can count on the sun
To be there when we wake
And the moon when we drift off to sleep

Her
Lye Nov 2018
Her
When you wore that dress that day
Oh, all I could do was stare
Beauty in,
And beauty out
“You look amazing!” I just want to shout
The most beautiful girl I have ever seen
Is so funny and is so keen
So silly and so weird
She has no idea
But to me it is clear
She is the most incredible human being
And I just wish she knew
How highly I truly think of her
And oh, how she makes me swoon
A poem of a past crush.

Darkness
Lye Nov 2018
I am swimming in a sea of ink
During a total eclipse
The world is black
And I blend into the background
Like a chameleon at midnight
Engulfed in in the shadows of others
No stars are blinking
No moon is shining
No light coming through the clouds
And I can’t even see my hands
When I hold them right in front of my face
The ink turns into rock
The air disappears
I can’t breathe
I can’t speak
I can’t see
All I can do
Is remind myself of all the mistakes that led me to this moment of darkness
And mourn the loss of light
When the darkness takes over
And I am lying in a puddle of my own tears
I don’t think
I don’t do
I just lie there
In the abyss I call my mind
This poem was inspired by Juliette Ferrars, the main character in the Shatter Me series, and her struggles.
