I lay in bed on a cold winter night
memories flood through me no matter how hard I might
might try to forget, its 4:42
and all I can think about is you..

Regret tears at my heart
I want to talk to you again, but I'm not sure where to start
You said you needed me, you told me you'd change
The last thing I expected was for you to fade away

You said I was enough, you told me you loved me
The time we spent together was anything but lovely
And now I'm drifting off to a world without you.
love isn't something I can recover from..
TheGardenOfWords Dec 2021
Bones decayed
Muscle & skin flayed

Near decade long agony endured
Endless wait for no remedy procured

Persons laugh and gibe
Hellions unable to repent or apologize

Lovers leave or never give a chance
"Meeting you was an unfortunate circumstance"

21 years of life lived
Nothing but difficult and destructive
Thought my first proper poem on here should be about myself

Serenity
Dark and weary are my days.
Everything black,
And darkness completely coats me.
Night after night.
Day after day.
Darkness is all around me.
My tears fall and roll down my cheeks.
I want to die.
I want to end this endless sufferings.
But your light mysteriously came in and never left.
Bright and warm you were.
You hold onto me and never let go.
Everything soon became bright
And darkness vanished forever.
You're the sun that ended my darkened days.
You're the light to my endless happiness.
Thank you.

Let your mind fill the spaces between my spaces.
Sentences are never complete,
You know, there's always room for more.
Imagination, like constellations,
And consternation from the procrastination of trying to connect the dots.
Which is which,
Steve Jobs once said to connect the dots of your future and your past.
Perhaps they'll create a Hercules of radiance,
Or a Cerberus of darkness.
In any case, there's always room for more.
Wouldn't "I love you" be better written as "Iloveyou",
Where there is no space for mistakes?
