Níla - Hello Poetry

Dishes

I yawn way too loud
And the dishes wait for me
There's a new pimple on my face
And why's my hair so **** greasy
There's ice cream in the freezer
I thought you'd kiss me hello
But you're stuck on your phone
Before you're out to have a smoke
I'm good to bend over
Though I thought I'd told you no
If anyone asked I only put on a show
You told me you love me
Guess you mean having me around
But why are the dishes not done
And do you have to yawn so loud?

Baggage

And I was used to it
The unsteady moods and sudden attacks
I'd mold myself into someone who couldn't be hurt
Stopped trying to fix your errors by addressing them first
I'd just never expected to be needing that back
Good I kept all my baggage and never unpacked

absinthe

love

i hate a mess
but i’d hate
not seeing yours
all over my bedroom
floor
more

absinthe

Whatever

I feel neutral
My cat is purring
I have a type of love
And food
And a roof
Over my head

So why
Do I feel
So dead

Daisy

And maybe I just love who you could be
Falling for the green light like that fool did in Gatsby
My mind is my enemy and you are my daisy
Pick pick pick my petals until there's nothing left of me

I don't write love poems anymore

You heard me !
I don't write silly love poems anymore .
At best they become bleak .
They are the ships at sea scuttled by storm .
The aircraft that lose power and crash into the ground .
The miners of affection when the roof comes down .
Don't ask or make a sound .
I'm committed to silence so don't you mess around .
THEIR evermores doomed from first kiss and sworn bliss .
From the cradled vows
to the certain anyhows
Don't ask me about love poems anymore .
