safety
Snow Selmon Dec 6
I never thought safety was a feeling
all these stories of people feeling safe
is something I've never felt
I've been homeless and left to rot
I thought this was a hidden emotion
that I was incapable of feeling
until your arms opened
and that laugh made me smile
and when we kissed
I felt my eyes smile for the first time
safety is something I have found
something only you could help me find

flaws
Snow Selmon Dec 3
our flaws shine out
why does that have to be shunned

getting better
Snow Selmon Dec 3
for the first time in years
that cigarette was laid down
for the first time in years
I put the **** down
for the first time in years
I'm feeling like my old self
for the first time in years
I'm feeling happy

understanding
Snow Selmon Nov 30
Love can change
I thought I understood it
I was naive
how could I understand
the pure bliss
being in your embrace brings
how could I understand
my suicidal episodes
stopped with a touch
I thought I knew love
how wrong I was about my emotions
but at least now
I understand a little better

Tunnel vision
Snow Selmon May 18
It was all tunnel vision
The world was spinning
But there you stand
You were my beacon
I couldn't defend
I didn't have an ace in my hand

You left me with nothing but a empty hand

Learning
Snow Selmon Apr 22
It hurt when I fell
But I got back up
And did it again
Only to fall over and over
Some of us maybe not the best of us
But some of us
We always make the same mistakes

Relationships
Snow Selmon Apr 21
Relationships are strange
You can be arguing but flirting
You can be laughing but at who
You can act happy but be miserable

Stand still
Snow Selmon Apr 14
Can't the world stand still
Just give me a minute to stop running
To take a breath and stand still
All I need is a second
To see the beauty of life again
When all we do is run, its hard to realise all that your missing.

Angry
Snow Selmon Apr 12
I just want to yell
I want to scream
I want to punch a hole in the wall
And yet I have to accommodate
Everyone else
A ****** couple of weeks will **** you

Padlocked
Snow Selmon Apr 3
Trying to break these
Padlocked lungs
Trying to just yell help
But yet I still can't speak

Can't take it
Snow Selmon Mar 30
I'm trying to be strong;
To help you through.
And you mean the world to me.
But sometimes I cant take more.
It only takes a little sound,
To start a avalanche.

Mist
Snow Selmon Nov 2023
In the time
In-between his breaths
I saw the mist of lies
His soul has whispered to mine
Nov 2023 · 342
Breaking
Snow Selmon Nov 2023
I saw the most beautiful
Most exotic antique
But as I reached out
It shattered...
Into crystallised shards
Not only does touch break
Just being near me
Is enough
To break everything

She's lost
Snow Selmon Oct 2023
She's lost
I don't know where
I can't find her
She won't answer me
Is she gone

Sick
Snow Selmon Oct 2023
Sometimes I'm sick
Emptying my feelings
Into the pipes they go
Just to resurface later
To haunt me again

The thought
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
There has always been
The thought
It lingers
It spreads
It clings like a parasite
Why run
There's no escape
Just pain and suffering
But maybe that's okay
Sep 2023 · 138
Makeup
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Sometimes it's hard
To pretend
To put on make-up
And play a game
Sep 2023 · 292
Doors
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
If a door opens
You don't have to enter
It's human nature
To be weary
Sep 2023 · 115
Silence
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Theirs a difference between
Radio silence
And a comfortable quiet
Sep 2023 · 111
The heart
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Having a heart
Can sometimes
be...
A anchor
And you just can't escape
Sep 2023 · 101
Happiness
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Without the joy of
Depression.
You can't find
Happiness.

Thoughts
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
A thought can be like
Being burned
At the stake

Nights
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Sometimes I dream
But sometimes it's dark
Either colours
Or sensory deprevation
Those are my nights
Sep 2023 · 191
Tonight
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
See you in my dreams tonight
for the stars only align in the dark
Sep 2023 · 105
Alive
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
When I said I was alive
It didn't mean I was fine
It didn't mean I wasn't hurting
It just meant I've left my shell intact

Stories
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Even if the moon shall stop
and the waves shatter in their lonely dance
I will be there at the tide
Waiting for the salt in the air to stand still over the desert sand
to tell me stories of lost lands
Sep 2023 · 212
The past
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Thinking about the past
Seems unreal
Like a dream
I've seen it and done it
But I'm just not sure it happend

Healing
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
I've been missing sleep
Talking when I should be in bed
Loving while my eyes burn
They say sleep heals
But nothing has healed me more
Than you
Sep 2023 · 80
Death
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
They say love is till death
That can't be right
How could I feel more dead
Than when I'm without you
Sep 2023 · 206
Love stories
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
I hate love stories
Not because I hate love
But because I don't want it to end
Aug 2023 · 91
Hearts
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
It's in our hearts we find peace
With family, friends, and lovers
And the heart heals and breaks
What more is there to say
We break we crumble
We heal we hope
Aug 2023 · 81
Crying
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Whenever I hear you cry
I feel something
It's not something words can say
I've searched
I hurt more than I show
And it feels like
Something is broken
When I hear you cry
I can't help but
Try to hold myself together
Because you are the reason I'm still here
Aug 2023 · 76
3 words
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
When I said those 3 words
I meant them
I've told them to you everyday
Do you know the truth they hold
I love you
Aug 2023 · 79
Worried
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
I'm worried
Not about me and you
But about everything
Aug 2023 · 215
Smoke
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Yesterday I lit a cigarette
And I realised I hesitated
I pictured your face
And for a second I couldn't
I just couldn't have it
But addiction won
And now the cycle continues
Aug 2023 · 91
Murder
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Is it wrong
To want
Is it wrong
To talk
Is it wrong
To hurt
Is it wrong
To want to ****
Aug 2023 · 91
How it feels
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
I've always thought
Love was meant to be fire
Like a burning on my skin
Not a seed
Slowly seeking my heart
It's not like fire and out of control
It's slow demanding, sensual in a way
Love is something that blooms
Aug 2023 · 104
Teach
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
You taught me to look
To open my eyes
You taught me to hope
To cope with the past
You taught me to be happy
To believe in myself
You taught me to love
To love myself, to love others
You showed me love
And love showed me, you

A conversation
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Me and I
We don't always agree
But there's one thing
We collectively know
We are lucky
To have met you ❤️

Trying
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Why can't
I just get it right for once
Why do I always hurt them
Aug 2023 · 200
Worried
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
I'm always worrying  
About when you'll move on
Find someone better
I'm not hard to replace
You've got men lining up
I'm worried
And scared
That'll you find someone else
Aug 2023 · 75
Bonfire
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
I might never tell you
But you mean the world
I can't explain
How could I
I could I explain all these
Feelings and emotions
How could I let you know
That theres no one else
That even holds a spark
Next to a bonfire
Aug 2023 · 82
Hurt

I know your hurting
So am I
I would take your pain
But then I might break

Waking up
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
What could be better
Than Coffee
A kiss
And laying in bed
With your special person

Distracted

They all say
The night sky
Is beautiful
But I wouldn't know
I have eyes only for you

When we talk
I can help but think

It hurts to live
Time for another drink

Poet
Snow Selmon Jul 2023
When the poet talks
I hear their story
But when they write
I listen to their demons

In the end
Snow Selmon Jul 2023
We all have regrets
We all stray from our goals
But...
We also have hope
We all find our own paths

Mirror
Snow Selmon Jun 2023
Why are you looking at me
Why do you look sad but happy
Why are you crying but smiling
Why does it look just like me
