How Far We Have Walked.
Mel Mar 2021
All the steps we’ve walked.
All the jokes we shared.
All the tears we cried.
All the pain we felt.

We endured it
We felt it
Together
No matter what

We agreed on that.
Didn’t we?
Our little promise,
Of childhood hopes.

But time has taken its toll
And now, you are gone.
Taken away
But you’re not looking back

No matter how hard I try
I can never forgot you
No matter how hard I try
I can’t get over you

After all the steps we’ve taken
I’m trying to erase how far we’ve walked in miles.
Are you also trying?
Or am I the only one?
Well, back at it after what- a year? Yeah. Stuff happened and that actually gave me motivation to write 😃

Changing Seasons
Mel Feb 2020
The sun beams down,

Onto the dry ground.

But leaves will soon fly,

Through the navy blue sky.


But soon the leaves will turn to snow.

Fall will come and it will go.

And as the snowflakes fall in my face,

The world is turned into a colder place.


And finally the snow will melt,

And the warmth is once again felt.

Rain will fall but thats alright.

Because soon there will be light.


The seasons will change,

Just like humans will rearrange.

Change if you feel it is right.

Because in the end, you too will be bright.
A poem about change

The Past Has Passed
Mel Feb 2020
Leave the past to the past.

Because it hurts to be reminded

Of the time I was blinded

By the dark shadow you cast
A line that will be used in a poem.... someday

Lose All Colours
Mel Jan 2020
If I lose all colours

Will you still be there?

Or will you leave me alone

And hurt me?

Toxic
Mel Dec 2019
You were to one who decided to go.

And yet you crawl back to me.

After I finally thought I was free,

you still think I don't know.


I'm not dumb, I remember what you've done.

I remember how toxic and manipulative you are.

I remember all those emotional scars.

Is this your idea of "fun"?


Manipulating. Making people love you.

Then breaking their hearts and being mean.

Gotta admit, you're pretty good. I fell for your evil scheme.

But know now what I can do.


I'm cutting ties with you my "friend".

And I hope that your nasty plan will end.
Wrote this with an ex-friend of mine. They literally text me after TWO MONTHS of ignoring me and beg for forgiveness. They were also a toxic friend and yeah. Gotta rant about that.

Stay
Mel Dec 2019
You were the shelter to my storm.

You saved me from the outside threat,

and inside you kept me warm.

Together, we watched the sun set.


In your arms I felt safe from,

the raging storm outside.

Wondering  what we will become,

of me if you left my side.


But for now, can we stay like this?

Until the storm outside goes away,

let's continue this everlasting bliss.

Please. Could you stay?
Short, sweet and for some reason took forever to write...?

What Do I Do?
Mel Nov 2019
What am I supposed to do?

When all I’ve ever was you?

What will I do then?

Will it happen again?
Hehe. Keeping it short and sweet for now. Getting low of creativity.

When The First Love Ends
Mel Nov 2019
When the first love ends,

You feel lost.

You don't want to just be friends.

You fell in love but what did it cost?


Being rejected and pushed away.

Being emotionless. Lonely.

Every hour of every day,

thinking of your one and only.


It may have cost a lot,

But what lesson did you learn?

It's that you're stronger than you thought.

That you can push though. Even when it burns.


When the first love comes to a halt,

A new feeling comes around.

A feeling that it wasn't your fault.

A feeling that no one can put you down.


When the first love is over,

Sadness may feel like forever.

But once you regain your composure,

You're stronger than ever.
I actually wrote this with one of my friends in mind. He went through a heartbreak that really broke him. But now, he's stronger than he ever was before.

W̶h̶y̶?̶
Mel Oct 2019
Under the countless stars,

I ponder and wait for a clue.

What was I meant to do?

W̶h̶y̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶I̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶e̶?̶



What was I waiting for?

Will it be worth the wait?

Was it to decide my fate?

I̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶g̶e̶t̶.̶



All I remember was a feeling.

Like I had to wait and see.

Like I had to wait to be free.

W̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶a̶d̶n̶e̶s̶s̶?̶



Was it for help?

Was it for something more?

Seriously, what was it for?

W̶h̶y̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶y̶?̶


I guess I'll wait till' the sun goes down.

W̶h̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶?̶
Two poems in one day! Like the strike through's I added? Adds a bit more... story and meaning.

Move On
Mel Oct 2019
"Move on"

All we can do is

Say

We're fine

Even if we're not okay

It's not good

Keep lying

We can't

Snap out of it

It's a bad habit

Can't get rid of it

But you

Keep trying

Keep going

Just stop and

Look around

No one's there

Don't think that

They'll be there for you.



(Now read bottom to top)
This took way too long to write... however, I think the results were well worth it!!!
Mel Sep 2019
Life isn't simple.

Nothing is ever easy.

Fake Friend
Mel Sep 2019
Staring at a dark blue sky.

I stand there wondering why.

Why did you leave me all alone?

Leaving me to turn to stone.


Why did you suddenly leave?

God.. why do I have to be so naive?

Of course. You were never there.

Only there to stop and stare.


I was dumb to fall for your flair.

It wasn't fair. It ISN'T fair.

To used be for your entertainment.

Like I was just a temporary replacement.


Not anymore. Nothing will be the same.

I won't let you use me for your game.

It's my turn to be the bad guy.

And if I make you cry,

you'll know the reason why.
Has anyone made you feel this way?

If so, don't worry. You're not alone.

Life

Life is full of friends but also full of fiends.

Mel Sep 2019
I can't see anything anymore.


What was it I was looking for?

E

What am I doing here?

Er

Why am I in so much fear?

Err

Am I breaking down?

Erro

I feel like I am going to drown.

Erro

Everything is disappearing.

Everything is dissolving into an ERROR

A Letter
Mel Sep 2019
After two years, I say hello

I've been fine, how about you?

Haven't seen you in so long. Have you grew?

I haven't missed you that much, you know.


It's been a while since we fell apart.

It's been a tough ride but that has gone.

Because the world will keep moving on.

And I have finally repaired my heart.


Have you met someone to be by your side?

I haven't but I'm sure you will!

Cause' you have that charm. A magnificent skill.

Invite me to your wedding when you get that bride!


I still think of you. Not as I used to though.

But as one of the best friends I've ever had.

Not as a lover but a fellow comrade.

Someone to walk with through tall snow.


And that's the end, I won't take your time.

But send a letter anytime!
Sep 2019 · 222
Worry
Mel Sep 2019
I wonder, are you really glad?

Or are you lying? Are you sad?

Understanding people is hard to do.

Especially people like you.


You smile and seem happy all the time.

But when you're alone, you don't seem fine.

I worry a lot. You should know.

I would tell you but my words can't flow.


I worry that you're just lying.

Being my friend and smiling.

I'm worried I'm not good enough.

I'm worried about what we'll become.


And you know, I worry too much.

To what I see to what I touch.

If you need to talk, I'l be here.

So don't worry, I won't disappear.
I know enough and become don't really rhyme but you know, that's fine.

I Wonder
Mel Sep 2019
I wonder if this will last...
Because everything in the present will soon be past.

See The Colours
Mel Sep 2019
Colours blur right before my eyes.
I can finally see through these lies.
Am I dying? No. It can’t be.
All I ever wanted was to be free.

Is this my fate? To be like this?
To be unloved? To not be missed?
To be the way that I am right now,
Isn’t good. I need to change, but how?

Changing the way I look and feel.
So that nothing will ever be real.
Change the way I talk to others.
Change the way I see the colours.

See the colours in a new light.
See the ways I can win the fight.
See the colours as others do.
See everything as lies rather than true.

Take away the colours of honesty.
Take away the things that bleed.
Take away the joy of our lives.
To make us sharp just like knifes.
Uh... guess who’s back?

In Japan - Haiku
Mel Jul 2019
I won’t be online.
For probably fifteen days.
I’ll be in Japan!
Yeah. I won’t be online for about two weeks. How fun! May do can draw inspiration from my trip!
Jul 2019 · 159
What Do You Choose?
Mel Jul 2019
What does it mean to be happy?

Does it mean to smile and be free?

What does it mean. Really.

It is an emotion. Surely.


But I’m curious. What does it mean?

Can’t be something made by a machine.

Because in the end, it’s nothing new.

You can be happy or sad. Up to you.


It’s a choice. No matter what situation

Wether at home or across the nation.

It’s your choice to have get or to lose.

Being happy or sad. What do you choose?
What would you guys choose?

Mochi - Haiku
Mel Jul 2019
Mochi is the best.
Even if there's ice cream.
Love it either way.
Mochi is a Japanese desert/snack that's filled with red bean, sesame or anything else. Even ice cream! I love it too much (〃∀〃)ゞ

Live Another Day
Mel Jul 2019
I can't see. I can't hear.

I can't tell how I feel.

But it's okay... it's okay,

I'll live another day.


I can't hear a word you speak,

I won't admit or I'll sound weak.

But it's okay... it's okay,

I'll live another day.


I'll live another day.
I actually wrote this as a song... I was too lazy to write the rest of it. Writers block isn't helping either... maybe one day!
Jul 2019 · 151
Same
Mel Jul 2019
Same friends, same town.

Same family who'll never let me down.

Same house, same rooms.

Same party and birthday balloons.


Everything will stay the same.

Even the people who as for me name.

Everything the same. Just how I like it.

I like it more than I can admit.


If things stayed like this forever,

the same old things won't end whenever.
Jul 2019 · 208
I Don't Know
Mel Jul 2019
I never know what to write.

I'm trying but I can't win the fight.

This "thing" prevents me from thinking.

Sometimes I feel like breaking.


I don't know what to write anymore.

I can't write just like before.

This writers block is getting to me.

Once this is over, I'll go on a writing spree.

I'm An Idiot - Haiku
Mel Jul 2019
I am bad at writing.
Especially these bad haikus.
I am an idiot.
Hah. If you don't get the joke, I added one extra syllable to each line. Isn't that idiotic?
Jul 2019 · 140
You
Mel Jul 2019
You
You were the one who let me down.

You were the one who wasn't there.

You were the one who didn't care.

You were the one who let me drown.


I was the one who paid.

I was the one who tried.

I was the one who cried.

But I was the one who stayed.


All of those things you did to me.

And I didn't bother to flee.

Piano
Mel Jul 2019
A piano normally has 88 keys.

52 white and 36 black.

Each make different sounds,

but work together to create a masterpiece.
One of my first non rhyming poems... ( ̄▽ ̄)

Breaking
Mel Jul 2019
I am out of control.

I feel it in my soul.

I'm tearing apart again.

Tearing apart just like then.


It hurts me so badly,

being stuck in a fake reality.

Not being able to write.

Not able to see the light.


This is all hard to comprehend.

Tell me; When will it all end?
All I can say is this took a lot more time than usual to write.....

Writers Block
Mel Jul 2019
Writers block is fun.
I can only write haikus
Someone help me please
Would it be considered writers block or poets block...?

I Am...
Mel Jul 2019
I am living but deceiving.

I am dying but still breathing.

I am deaf but hear a voice.

I am chained but still have a choice.

I am confused yet I know,

that the calmest people can be ******.
Jul 2019 · 130
Forgotten
Mel Jul 2019
Left alone in the dark.

Left to be eaten by the shark.

Should I stay here?

I should I disappear?


If I'll be forgotten forever,

might as well sleep whenever.

No one will remember me.

So just leave me be.


No one will remember who I was.

Their memory of me will all be fuzz.

But it's fine for my I guess.

Because I am a big mess.


So I'll be forgotten. It's okay.

Guess they'll forget me when I'm far away.
Funny story:
I actually didn't finish poem until a few days ago... I wrote the title and a few lines... I guess the poem "Forgotten" was forgotten ( ̄︶ ̄;)

If you're... - Haiku Poem
Mel Jul 2019
If you're feeling sad,
A smile is all that we need,
To start feeling glad.

If you are angry,
Try talking to your best friend.
Then you might be calm.

If you are happy,
That is a wonderful thing!
Be glad you're alive!
I like haikus... I like poems... why not use both?

Road Of Life
Mel Jul 2019
Cross my heart, and I'll hope to die.

I promise to never let you go.

Even when things get low,

you'll never have to cry.


Together we can walk along this road.

I've got your back if you've got mine.

We'll help each other to shine.

We'll help each other to crack the code.


We'll walk along this road together.

Never letting each other down.

Never letting each other frown.

Promise to stay forever.


We can stay until the dawn.

When time seems to slow,

it's so beautiful you know.

Stay up until the stars have gone.


Walk down this road side by side.

Together, we won’t have to hide.

Lies
Mel Jul 2019
"Are you okay?"

They always say.

"I'm fine." I reply.

But you know, I lie.


I lie that I'm glad.

I lie that I'm not sad.

They never know what's inside.

They never know what I hide.


I lie and say that I'm filled with joy.

I lie and say my demon isn't trying to destroy.

I lie about a lot of things.

And you know, false happiness it brings

Far Away
Mel Jul 2019
It may not seem like it at all.

Not the type to be alone and brawl.

But I am. I'm exactly that person.

Thy type that feels like a burden.


Burden to every single friend of mine.

Burden to those who ask if I'm fine.

I feel like a complete waste of space.

No way I was meant for this place.


It's terrible, really, it does ****.

This life is draining. I'm out of luck.

I'm a burden to everyone.

I'm sure they'd rather see me gone.


So I'll do that. I'll disappear.

Somewhere far away from here.
Jul 2019 · 123
Let Go
Mel Jul 2019
Why mourn day after day,

if the pain will never go away.

Why hold on to something that's gone?

Why can't they just move on.


Let go of all the things you had.

If you did that, I'd be glad.

So don't stay inside and cry.

You need to learn how to say goodbye.


Think of others who care.

They are happy and have plenty to spare.

Forget me. I have never mattered.

No one wants their hearts to be shattered.


So learn how to let go.

It's pretty simple you know.
Jul 2019 · 215
Make This World Your Own
Mel Jul 2019
You're on your own, nowhere to go.

Where to run, you just don’t know.

Scared, crying and lying to yourself.

Leaving all you love on the shelf.


You’ll be okay, I swear.

Whenever you need me, I’ll be there.

Just call out when you can’t stand.

I’ll be there to hold you hand.


You’ll never be alone.

You can make this world your own.
Jul 2019 · 172
Days
Mel Jul 2019
Days, months and years pass.

So live every moment as your last.

You never know when it'll all end.

You'll never know if you heart will mend.


Love the things that make you, you.

Cherish the things that make you true.

In a moment it could all disappear.

It could all be gone within this year.


So make things last. Even for a little while,

so that in the end, you'll stop and smile.
Jul 2019 · 139
A While More
Mel Jul 2019
Forever. What a strange thing.
Everlasting. But what will it bring
But even stranger... there’s love.
Something that helps you rise above.


When you’re in love, everything turns.
When they smile, your face burns.
I’m in love. Don’t want to admit.
I don’t want to. Not one bit.


I hate it, by the way.
I’ll hate it till my final day.
But I like it too. Don’t know why.
I want to confess. Not to be shy.


But I can’t. And I hate it.
You know, I should just quit.
My heart says otherwise.
No matter how much my soul cries.


I’ll live with it for a while more.
Until then, you are the one I adore.
Jul 2019 · 135
Help
Mel Jul 2019
I did it. I tore it down.

The things I look at and frown.

It wasn't always this way.

I used to love them until that day.


I want to scream, shout and cry.

But I can't and I don't know why.

I feel empty, day by day.

I try to tell but never know what to say.


They'll say I'm pretending, it's not real.

But how do they know how I feel?

So I wear a mask to hide the pain.

If I'm the "real me", what's there to gain?


Sadness, guilt, and disappointment. That's it.

So I'll wear that mask. I can do it.

But I want to help them, people like me.

To help them be who they want to be.


Help them achieve something they dream of.

Help them grow wings and soar above.

I'll help them all. Then maybe I,

could be helped too and bid these thoughts goodbye.
Jul 2019 · 331
Dreams
Mel Jul 2019
I wish my dreams were real.

Where sadness is something I wouldn't feel.

Where I'm happy and everyone else is.

Where no one is forgotten in the abyss.


A place where someone's by my side.

Where that someone would never hide.

Somewhere where the silent is heard.

Where the meek will fly like a bird.


This place would be a dream come true.

A place where everyone is less blue.

But I could only dream of this place.

Because it's not real. Not a trace.
The last line doesn't make sense but that's fineeeee... right?
Jul 2019 · 189
Fight
Mel Jul 2019
I'm fighting demons in my head.

It fights me and straps me to my bed.

It's weird. It's really strange,

that this feeling will never change.


I can't give up just yet. Not now.

I'll keep going, though I don't know how.

I'll find a way to get rid of this thing.

Even if it hurts. Even if it'll sting.


And though I know I may never win,

I will never give up. I will never give in.
I woke up this morning to see Hello Poetry and... Oh. My. Gosh.

Thank you all for your support! I never thought so many people would read my poems!!! Thank you!!!! (Yes, this is very cheesy but whatever!)
Jul 2019 · 138
Fly Away
Mel Jul 2019
If I could fly away from this place,

I would fly and see your face.

I would take the sadness and destroy it.

I'd put you together, bit by bit.


I'd help you in every way.

I'd help you day after day.

I'll wash the pain out of your mind,

so that happiness you will find.


Even if you don't need it, you do.

Because I know you better than you know you.
Jul 2019 · 168
Past
Mel Jul 2019
In the past, we had good times.

Made mistakes and cried.

We laughed and lied.

Got hurt but said we were fine.


Some dwell on the past all day.

Some leave it be and carry on.

Some think and regret form dusk till dawn.

“Past is the past” Some will say.


While that is true, it may cause pain.

The past can hurt when you,

don’t let go of what you know.

When you think again and again.


The past hurts and haunts.

Memories you can never re-live.

Things you worked hard to give.

It’s scary how our minds taunts.


Some are are trapped in the past. Never to get out.

No matter how much they scream and shout.
Jul 2019 · 158
Crying Sky
Mel Jul 2019
Looking at the clouds in the sky,

Beautiful, fluffy and white.

Then it turned and started to cry.

It cried and cried with all it's might.


Tears poured onto the streets below,

Soaking the houses and the people around.

Why the sky cried? We may never know,

why the teardrops are hitting the ground.


Did we do something to upset it?

Did we put them in incredible pain?

Probably. That's why they're throwing a fit.

Once their done, it'll be happy again.


Until then, don't speak a word.

Don't want them to flood the world
