Torn
Josh Apr 2019
He was chasing love,
Because he didn’t know
What else to chase,
Because he’d had enough
Of his everyday life,
No feelings, just thoughts
No passion, no care,
Half asleep, half the time,
Blurriness clouds his
Mind, hard to sleep when
It’s time, constant

Struggle to find, someone
That he can rely on,
Someone that’ll reply and
Someone that’ll try,
Someone to make a fuss
Over him, someone
That’ll see, the good in him,
His buried happiness,

Hidden by the fake smiles,
Pretending to laugh,
But he didn’t find it funny and
It’s funny because,
The things he does find funny,
Aren’t funny anymore,
Working, eating, meeting,
Normal life’s a bore,
Apart from sleep of course.
please let me know what you think!

Talking To Myself
Josh Jan 2019
You like him, I hate him.
He’s a waste, a **** up,
But you still accept him,

And through everything,
You always care,
But we can’t be friends,
I love your stare.

Falling in Love
Josh Jan 2019
I can’t find the words,
To describe this girl,

Amazing, cute, funny,
She rocks my world,

My light in the darkness,
Vision through the fog,

The way her voice carrys,
In everything she says,

With such compassion,
Kindness, love and affection,

It’s hard to describe our
Inseparable connection,

We met by chance,
One random night,

We spoke for some time,
And it felt so right,

I wanted to do it again,
The more we spoke,

I didn’t want it to end,
Anything bad she’d help,

I could never see myself,
Above her,
And then I realised,
I love her.

I’m sorry, I’ll change
Josh Feb 2019
I drink too much ***** and,
I smoke too much **** and,
I don’t talk enough,
I’m too hard to read,

But I’ll be little more prepared,
And show you that I care
Because, I love you I swear.

I can cut down on my sleep,
To give what you need,
Take time and make time,
That’s a promise I’ll keep.

Accept that we did do
One thing right, except
All we did do was fight,

Hold eachother through
The night, what’s mine is
Yours and yours is mine,
I said I hated you,

I lied.
Had two unfinished poems kinda merged them, does it work or?

We’re all nothing to someone,
And that, you can’t forget,
So if a girl is playing hard to
Get, there’s probably someone
Else she’s trying hard to get,
They say home is where the
Heart is, but I’ve got a hole
Where my heart is, because
I let a *** where my heart is.

Don’t say it, Tell me
Josh Feb 2019
Tell me you waited
For me,
Tell me you said no,
For me,

Tell me you think,
About me,
Tell me you dream
About me,

Tell me all you want,
Is me,
And that all you need
Is me,

Hug me, touch me,
Kiss me, **** me,
Tell me you love me.

Because all I need,
Is you, because I,
Love you.
Love is so tricky, it’s a pain there to remind us how much we truly care for someone. Love is the beginning of all feeling and action, and just like Adrenalin can cause panic and excitement, love can cause joy and hurt. You experience love throughout your whole life, but only few come along that really engage in your love and feel it, keep hold of those people because the overflow of emotion and feelings can make it easy for them to fall out of your life in the confusion, and it’ll be one of the worst mistakes of your life

Forgotten
Josh Jan 2019
What’s it like to love?
I thought I knew,
I thought you do too,

We were both wrong,
Just obsessed,
To find a similar mess,

It’s funny how some things,
Change as we,
Move on through life,

But still, other than you
The best feeling, on my
Cold pale skin,
A sharp edged knife.

To Regain, To Appreciate
Josh Nov 2018
I remember just,
Thinking about
You all day long,

Obsessing over you
And what I’d lost,
How I’d ruined it all

Imagining all the things
We could do together,
Had I not been stupid,

Had I’d not over looked
What was right in front
Of me, waiting for me,

We could have been together,
Could’ve been happy forever,
Not anymore though,

Sat next to each other,
Talking all day, but not
Touching at all, I stilll

Smiled, I was happy,
We were under the
Same sky at least,

But then you said you
Had to get something
To get of your chest,

You admitted you still
Wanted what we wanted,

I felt the same but didn’t
Know how to say it, so I
Pulled you in, and placed
My lips upon yours,

You understood perfectly,
Kissed me back,

I remember standing
There, thinking about you,
For the rest of the day,
About what I’d gained,

Obsessing over what
I now had, in my
Possession finally,
Perfection at last...

Trapped
Josh Jan 2020
No one will ever truly know
How much I cry
No one will ever truly know
How much I lie
No one will ever truly know
The things I hide
No one will ever truly know
What’s kept inside
No one will ever truly know
What I’ve seen,

The things I keep with me.
You’ll never see, the beautiful in me, because the ugly is the ugliest thing, more ugly than the beauty, and so that’s all you’ll see....But the ugly you see is actually my beauty, and the beauty you don’t pay attention to is the lies I show you to cover the true ugly about me, but you ignore it and scrutinise what you call ugly, because subconsciously you know it’s beauty and you can’t help but envy.

Midnight
Josh Jan 2020
You never know the value of a moment
Untill it’s a memory
And lately I’ve been treasuring memory’s
Or rather lost moments
Lost in the hopelessness of time waiting
For that new moment
To arrive, afraid that we’ve said our last,
Goodbyes, cut ties-
Made that mistake too late, and that’s fate
I’m sorry but it’s over,
But I’m your head it’s never over not untill

Untill your standing on the edge of a cliff in
Dover, or sat on your
Sofa, with a system full of drugs, or with a
Razor blade in your
Hand, drunk taste you can’t stand, reaching
Out for someone’s hand,
Someone that can understand, the loss
And the pain, the rain
Falling down on your life and emotions
Drowning in commotion
An ocean of pure hurt, sorrow and pain
Fuled by dope,

A horizon of hope, a lie, a false belief
From deep beneath
Thinking that she’s part of the solution
Completely blind to the
Fact that she’s part of your confusion
You need to dispel
This illusion, that tigether your fusion
Would be a revolution
For your mind, your spirit and your sole
It would just ruin and
Dig a deeper hole, leaving you still wanting
More, not realising
That she’s already closed the door.
Value every moment, because soon it’ll be a memory, maybe a treasured one. Or even worse a lost one.

— The End —
