sugar rush
dylan Feb 2021
i thought you the candy my brain needed
a well deserved sugar rush
but you were poison to my heart
right from the start.
i should've studied your ingredients
before i fed you to my soul.
but now you've already
made my heart black like a coal.

can you be?
dylan Oct 2020
if you can be my stars,
i'll be your sky.
if you can be my sun,
i'll be your moon.
if you can be my ocean,
i'll be your waves.

still
dylan Oct 2020
i wasn't even looking when i found you,
you just snuck up on me.
i wasn't even asking when the universe sent you,
like magic you were suddenly part of my world.
i wasn't even aware that you were exactly what i wanted,
needed.
now
it's been 16 years
you're still here
still magic
i still find peace in you,
comfort.
love.
you still make me smile,
laugh.
love.
it's been 16 years
and i don't want anyone else
i want you
still.
i need you,
still.
LOVE.

addict
dylan Oct 2020
I  went to the bar again tonight

i drank my feelings with a dash of tonic

it tasted like regret,

and lonliness...

the bartender is my escape,

like a waterfall

his drinks never stop flowing down my throat.

Moving On
dylan Jan 2019
My glass heart turned to stone.
Your last chance - Just got blown.
So, please don't try and phone.
When you see how much I've grown.
this was my very first attempt at poetry

i'm smoking

how
dylan Apr 2021
how
at the age of 10
i convinced myself i wont make it to 25
now
at the age of 25
i don't know what to do,
how to deal
or
how to keep living
one trauma away
just one more
and i'm out

murderer.
dylan Dec 2019
He shoots you with bullets made of shame, aiming straight for your heart.
He stabs you with a knife made of insults,  etching forever scars in your back.
He forces self doubt down your throat and gags you to swallow it like stones.
He punches your gut with fists made of manipulation, leaving you gasping for air.
His lies like a tight rope wrapped around your neck, a noose, if you will.
His attitude like a cleaver, sharpened and ready to disembowel you at every turn...
this is how he traps you.

TROUBLE

the worst part about it
wasn't losing you

it was losing
ME.

dylan Apr 2021
i filled your cup till it overflowed with my compassion
now i'm dying of thirst.
once again note to self: you cannot pour from an empty cup

shattered glass
dylan Mar 2021
and now i have to accept
that you will forever be in my heart
but not in my life
the moment i realized this, it was like glass shattered in my mind.
and now
i will never be the same again

LONELY
dylan Jan 2020
L - Left here alone with my scary thoughts
O - Only me, myself & I are present
N - Nobody will ever understand how this feels
E- Everybody always leaves when things get hard
L - Love hurts more than anything I've ever felt
Y- You could never see that, so you ran.
i feel completely alone in this world and I don't know how to change the feelings i have.
85 · Apr 2021
it's only you
dylan Apr 2021
i may not be the only one for you
but
you
are
the
only
one
for
me

STUCK
dylan Oct 2020
What to do,
what to do
I’m stuck between
choosing him or you
He is happy,
personified
You are love,
glorified

scars
dylan Apr 2021
I've accumulated a lot of scars over the years
one on my knee when i fell off my bike
a long straight one on my forehead from falling out a tree
every hurt i've ever felt left a physical scar
but the scar you left on me...
i can't see it, only feel it
i can't see it, but everyone else can
i can't see it
but everyone else can
in my sad teary eyes
my fake smile
and my fake happy
they see how broken you left me.

the escape
dylan Oct 2020
so maybe if i float around in the ocean
i can drown in something
other than my thoughts.
