Tonight
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
See you in my dreams tonight
for the stars only align in the dark
233 · Jan 2023
Fire & Ice
Snow Selmon Jan 2023
When the fire takes my soul, I will remember you. When the ice envelopes me I will forget. Everything has a consequence. when the fire took me into its arms I fell into desires path. But when the ice took me into its cold embrace I felt home. I will be safe inside this shell; I shall not fall into fire once again; I shall not fall into desires Torture. I will not let you drag me down, with you. I am free from desire, and once again the real me.

Stand still
Snow Selmon Apr 2024
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.

driving
Snow Selmon May 2021
could I borrow a few more miles
my wheels are flat
and it's getting dark
and the pink of day
is fading to grey
a few more miles
is all I need
a tiny distance
that feels like light years
and I'm waiting for someone to pass
maybe their waiting on me
to get out of the dark
and stand in the light
to put up a fight
but these tires are deflated
the lights are gone
I dream of your arms
ones that felt safe and like home
where I was someone and not bare bone
you are my power
even if your not here
you are energy you are everywhere
you are my destination
the place I'm stuck in between
the place I can't go
is where my home is
so I'll wait out the night
and inflate my tires
go a couple miles
until I find you
even just a glimpse will refill me
I'll be on my way
humming my love away
so that you can breathe it in
so you can see what I couldn't say
you can feel what I was scared of
so I'll drive
far, far away
so I won't hurt you no more
bye, bye my angel
I hope the light treats you well

alone
Snow Selmon Feb 2021
kisses from the rain tell me where I am
they always made me want to disappear
and for once I think it cam true
and for the first time in my life I was happy
for a little until
I was alone and it dawned on me
that those kisses were a curse
214 · Mar 2023
Strangle
Snow Selmon Mar 2023
When the flowers intertwine
They strangle and pull
Neither one can win
If they both lose
209 · May 2021
puppet
Snow Selmon May 2021
pull the strings
I am bound to the stage
a cement paper weight
a permanent record
on the radio
seen on the pavement
a bit everywhere
where my mind is lost
and the puppet is happy
a long life
a job is road
take it
take the highway home
200 · Dec 2020
rays
Snow Selmon Dec 2020
stingrays trace the rivers
flat against the ground
and they don't have to worry
because their souls will live
in the between
where the lights know their name
189 · May 2021
choices
Snow Selmon May 2021
I was left in backwash
breathing in you
trying to enjoy it
till the blood was boiling
and I had no choice
but to love you
boiling till bursting
but I was careless
and something else burst instead
and it was my choice
that left me alone

Beauty
Snow Selmon May 2021
Arrogant Bliss

Makeup
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Sometimes it's hard
To pretend
To put on make-up
And play a game
174 · Sep 2020
boiling point
Snow Selmon Sep 2020
I heat my body to bubbles
and maybe that's why I fly away
and why I snap
and why after I feel broken
all I need was to stay safe
in the confines of my mind
174 · Sep 2023
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
170 · Mar 2023
Follow
Snow Selmon Mar 2023
I follow
Not because I have no leader.
I follow because
If the world had to end,
I would want you beside me.
My eternal flame in this wasteland,
We call home.
168 · Mar 2024
Can't take it
Snow Selmon Mar 2024
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.
166 · Sep 2023
Silence
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Theirs a difference between
Radio silence
And a comfortable quiet
164 · Aug 2021
push
Snow Selmon Aug 2021
your push turned to shove
my heart stopped to beat
and my eyes teared at your face
you bring me back to times
when I was happy
and also so sad
when tears were welcomed
instead of feared
where I was wanted
not feared
I'm sorry I wasn't there
when it was needed
a sorry is all I can say
a push turned to shove
and I couldn't stand my ground
164 · Oct 2021
hop
Snow Selmon Oct 2021
hop
going between emotions
bursting against each other
trying to find a grip
where their are no hand holes
no one to help
where you just have one choice
to hop to the next step
hoping it doesn't snap
164 · Mar 2021
burning
Snow Selmon Mar 2021
I could feel the metal
burning and changing
into a vice
and it held me close
it was warm and nice
until it burned my home
and I was left alone
162 · Sep 2023
Nights
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Sometimes I dream
But sometimes it's dark
Either colours
Or sensory deprevation
Those are my nights
160 · Aug 2023
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

Back
Snow Selmon Jun 2023
It’s been a while
Since I last thought of you
And honestly it’s been great
Not having to worry
Or struggle to cope
But sometimes
I let it bring me back
The pain is not always a burden
To keep under lock and key
Sometimes it’s good to remember
You can’t have love without the pain
160 · Apr 2023
Let me stand
Snow Selmon Apr 2023
I’ve been wondering.
Why do I, always get…
The burden of all your ****.

Why can’t I speak
Ain’t I worth it

Why can’t it for once be me
Why can’t you stand me

I can’t do this anymore
The burden is falling down
And with it I’ll drown

So help me out
I’m just trying to live…
With myself
159 · May 2024
Tunnel vision
Snow Selmon May 2024
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
159 · Mar 2023
What would happen…?
Snow Selmon Mar 2023
Sometimes I can’t help but think,
What would happen…
An open question
Yet a statement
With Infinite answers and possibilities.
I just wonder what would happen.
155 · Sep 2021
pushing
Snow Selmon Sep 2021
you pushed and shoved
hands clenching
and legs tensing
I fell and you helped me up
just to push again and again
I let you push me
till I was over the edge
and the only push was
my heart against my chest
154 · Nov 2021
rose
Snow Selmon Nov 2021
we were roses
never meant to be
thorns upon thorns

I'm not a rose
a lily
floating along the current

your turbulent waves
you said we weren't
to be together

as I see it your, chaotic
and I'm calm
you took me on a ride

I ended
on the rocks
your words

they cut deep
breaking me
like your lies
154 · Apr 2024
Angry
Snow Selmon Apr 2024
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
153 · Mar 2021
a whisper
Snow Selmon Mar 2021
a little tiny whisper can **** you
a knife to the heart
a lighter melting you
I still have the memories
I thought you loved me
but you whispered
and I was gone
you said I love you the same day you left
how can a person be so cruel
152 · Sep 2023
The heart
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Having a heart
Can sometimes
be...
A anchor
And you just can't escape
152 · Sep 2021
tired
Snow Selmon Sep 2021
always running
without water
not a single drop of dew
a little river
is all I ask
instead of this land
I live in
where water
is just for the lies
that blossom
151 · Aug 2023
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
149 · Sep 2023
Happiness
Snow Selmon Sep 2023
Without the joy of
Depression.
You can't find
Happiness.
149 · Oct 2021
Ocean talk
Snow Selmon Oct 2021
we can not understand how
rivers and oceans talk
how they wade through
troubles and hard rock of
problems how they turn
us against ourselves
and unite in one breath
how they overflow
taking us with it
148 · Aug 2023
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 ****
148 · Aug 2021
Rust
Snow Selmon Aug 2021
I lied in the rain and slept
when I woke
your arms pinned me
I was too heavy
plastered with rust
to which your laugh sounded
all around my head
pinned to you
unable to move
my rusted heart
147 · Oct 2020
Flame
Snow Selmon Oct 2020
I’ll let you scorch me to crisps
I’ll let my body be a flame
I will burn for you
My love with never go out
With flying orange I glow
Spreading my love with every go
And with the embers that fly so high
I will reach you my Angel to the sky
146 · Aug 2021
still
Snow Selmon Aug 2021
I still think of you
your arms around me
and the safety of home
145 · Aug 2023
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
145 · Aug 2023
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 ❤️
145 · May 2021
wind
Snow Selmon May 2021
lay down feel the wind
a soft constant found within
and somehow it whispers your name
E.T.H.A.N
every syllable in every language
and it seems to mean the same thing
that Love is an angel it will burn bright
with a Te Amo
I  hope it finds you on your darkest nights
so it fills you with strength
and it can light the darkness
and help you escape
144 · Jan 2021
Dirty Past
Snow Selmon Jan 2021
I must say these thoughts are venom
infecting with inborn criticism
I was born with ***** blood
I was born in the heart of the earth
and they didn't understand
I was her child
so I was destroyed within'
the heart of the furnace
I was burned to ash
not with the pressure
of diamond on my face
ash and soot
the only home I now know
144 · May 2021
if only I remembered this
Snow Selmon May 2021
I can tell but you could also pinch me you know

because you see you did want it if only you didn't lie about it
143 · Apr 2021
shadow
Snow Selmon Apr 2021
I was covered
a backdrop
a veil of night
and when the light
blinded me
I fell into love
like a smothering force
I drank it in
143 · May 2021
ghost
Snow Selmon May 2021
I'm getting high on fumes
shooting with eyes closed
trying to **** with a smile

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

taking drugs by the miles
drinking my sorrows
hoping I'll die tomorrow

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

take a flower see it bloom
ghosts reminds me of you
always there in the dark

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

fighting sleep, passing out
counting sheep, eating out
close my eyes dream of you

I'm playing with a ghost
so I know I'm alone

I am alone with a ghost
looking through sunken eyes
look left, look right

I'M PLAYING WITH A GHOST
AND IT'S YOU
143 · Jul 2021
running
Snow Selmon Jul 2021
always going around in circles
and you never once came
to show me the way
142 · Sep 2023
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
141 · Sep 2023
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
141 · Aug 2023
Trying
Snow Selmon Aug 2023
Why can't
I just get it right for once
Why do I always hurt them
140 · Mar 2021
I did love you
Snow Selmon Mar 2021
I loved you, you were my world
my sun
the universe to me
I revolved around a axis
turning to your voice
and then you left
a pain shattering pain
that will scar forever
