In love with the unkind
Níla Nov 10
Lately life's been kind to me
Not a bad thought crossed my mind for weeks
I miss how they ate me and hate how they shaped me
How no matter the feeling they always seem the better company

Daisy
Níla Sep 13
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

Like people do
Níla Aug 22
I prefer the arts to anything with a consciousness really, because it never once made me feel like less, not like people do

Terror
Níla Jul 18
It's not gonna last forever
I can't seem to decide if it fills me with delight or terror
Do I long for a sickness to shorten the days I've left to live?
An excuse so I'm not at fault and there's nothing to forgive?

It's not gonna last forever
I could cry for days on end
Not because I bleed and hurt
But because I'm so sick to pretend
That I don't

Persistence
Níla Jul 12
Being sad is a constant
it's there for me when happy can't be
but I think I've grown a bit too much to its company
now it tries to steal the stage when I'm happy on my face
I let it drag me to bed and commit to being sad

Spiders web
Níla Jun 18
I fell for you, not like leaves fall from a tree, in swift moves until they reach the ground they seek
Maybe it feels more like a trap, running in circles cause I **** at reading maps
Tip-toeing obstacles as I dare them to collapse
Let me be trapped
Hold on and consume me like a fly caught in a spiders web
Pick at my self doubt until boldness
is all that I have left

The Inbetween
Níla Apr 16
I´m impulsive and naive
sometimes loud and sometimes
  silent
 I lie when I can
 And then hide from the pain
 Often run when I could walk
 But my body likes to
  stop.
 I will scratch you and fight you though
   sometimes
    invite you
I´m on fire and I´m drowning but mostly
 I'm waiting for the inbetween

Demons
Níla Feb 20
I am jealous
And contagious
And sometimes anger
Gets the best of me
I ruin things
Outgrow my friends
I ask myself
Too many questions
Doubt crawls along my side
Got drawers where my demons hide
And enough of them

Priorities
Níla Feb 20
When I glance at my phone there's news after news
I swipe them all away unless there's some it from you
Then I put away the paintbrush
Lay the book down next to the pile to be read
I dearly love to paint or read but I'd still rather talk to you instead

Spinning
Níla Feb 17
I am a beast
Contributing to the earth's pollution
Intoxicating soil and financing the royal
If I could gamble to be any other living thing
I'd take a spin on the wheel and hope for death to be my win
But the wheel keeps turning

Mosquito bite
Níla Dec 2023
A summernight in Mid-July
We'd talk and talk until my skin
Was covered in mosquito bites
I didn't mind, I let it sting

Those bites they kept me company
In the days you weren't around
I itched and scratched so angrily
They could stay forever on my account.

Dreading Winter
Níla Nov 2023
I guess some need the tragedy
Rambling mind and trembling feet
Falling for every fallen leaf
Desperate to keep winter out of reach

Because at least in summertime, everyone else seems happy.

Untitled
Níla Oct 2020
I'll stay and mend the world for you
And take care of the pain if you want me to

I'll fill the cracks with your favourite words
And keep you in shape when the world is not

I'll provide you with laughter when you're running low on joy
And advice on the heavy days

It makes you cry and leaves you sad
But you like the salt and you love the mad

Creature
Níla Apr 2018
I am a beautiful creature
inside a body so limited
so rotten in character
and of a species so evil
a person so nice
stuck in a world left to die

(Don´t) wake me
Níla Jan 2018
Wake me up
I´m dreaming of you
It was lovely and
fiery and
frightening too

— The End —
