Atlas Aug 24
To you hopeless romantic,
You wander these empty halls wishing to fill it with love
You dream of love meeting you on Saturday with roses and a coffee date.
But it's not your fate.
To you unlovable,
Do you really believe in love?
You who never felt but have been told how magical it is…do you think its true?
You wanted to feel needed but never really liked the ‘I really like you’ feeling.
How long has it been since you had some type of meaning?
To you unlovable hopeless romantic,
It feels like your not worth anyone’s time
Broken seems untrue but you now can’t deny that you really built walls a bit to high
You have so much love to give and there’s no one
Don’t wander so far down the dark empty halls
There’s always a bright open door
But how long can you really wait
when you know all the doors are tightly closed

Stuck in 2 worlds
Forced to choose certain words
Tú or you?
Not fully developed
Its hard to pick and choose what i want to do
Que no puedes hablar
That’s just sad
I can’t find the words
Como se dice I have so much to lose

The sleepless nights I spent talking to the stars about you
To the point where I told them “I love you”

You who lingers in the back of my head
I knew then I was through

It might be the hopeless romantic in me
But I’ve never felt love to this degree

Take a knife and plunge it into my heart
Maybe then I can learn that we are meant to be apart

Yet even then, I will still love you
Because you made my world shine
That’s gotta be a sign

I’m scared though
I’m scared that if I let you go, I won’t see you anymore
Like a star that traveled so far, you stop shining

Now don’t get me wrong
I'm not confining
I only know how to say this in writing

Forgive me for loving
But my heart won’t listen to my head
And now I'm stuck here reciting this poem to everyone but you, instead.
Atlas Mar 28
The first born raised to be perfect
Destined for glory
Carrying the world on their shoulder
(Atlas would pity them in fact)
Flying too close to the sun
Only to fall back below the earth
(Icarus should’ve warn them of that)

Fear is a weapon
Love is forbidden
She calls out for god but only finds what’s hidden
Her world is falling
And There is deep waters coming

Loses track of what came back
Have you forgotten
Where you came from
The land beyond the free
Where your parents had to flee
This is not your perfect reality

Burn your heart
Destroy your mind
There is no god that will save you in time
Call Athena goddess of wisdom
See if she will save you in this life

Your mother has abandoned you
The gods turn there eye
You are left with denial
That if your life is actually vital

Home isn’t home anymore
You are left with an empty shell
Today is the last day you say your farewells

— The End —
