Through the cracks
Thewallflowerguy Dec 2021
Look closer
Even closer than you are noww
Do you see the cracks?
Do you see the inherent sadness in my sweetness through them?
Do you see me being put together or do you see me crumbling?
Am I falling apart or am I healing?

Hurt me
Thewallflowerguy Nov 2021
Let me cry an ice cream tub full of tears
Let me know what is it like to feel your pain
Let me feel your absence from my arms as we walk
Hurt me

Let me miss you calling me weird insults, lovingly
Let me miss your voice suddenly going high as you say something sweet
Let me feel the wave of missing you upon catching your scent
Hurt me

Let me miss the wave of small breaths you take when you laugh
Let me miss your akwardness when someone compliments you
Hurt me

Let me miss your spontaneous energetic dancing
Let me miss your breath on my face as we get close
Hurt me

Let me miss your taste after freshly applying lip balm
Let me miss the feeling of your fingers running through my hair as I lay on your lap
Hurt me

Let me miss the smile I get upon seeing your name on my phone
Hurt me

Let me miss our moments interspersed
Hurt me

Let me know the feeling of being
alone again
Hurt me
Hurt me
Hurt
To the person who says she doesn't want to hurt me but I'm ready for the pain

Moments Interspersed
Thewallflowerguy Nov 2021
Standing on the balcony, that seems like it was made for you and me
A litte bit drunk, a litte tipsy
None of us knew how magical it would be


Underneath the umbrella that's too small for the both of us
Getting soaked in the rain
A little bit of a fun, a little bit of pain
This girl is driving me insane

Without talking to her, the day seems incomplete
A little bit of ****, a little bit of sweet
This girl makes my heart skip a beat

She is immensely special, if only she could see
A little bit of distance, A little intimacy
These are the moments between me and she
The moments between me and someone special

Rocketman
Thewallflowerguy Jul 2021
How do the stars feel?
Seemingly close together
Beautiful and bright
Everyone admiring them
Do they feel like me?
A closer look and you'll realise they are lonely
On fire
No one to listen to their pain
Surrounded by darkness
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Moments away from dying
Just almost all burnt out
So I ask you again,
Do they feel like me?
Stars are a master of putting on a facade. It is lonely out in space.

Laughter
Thewallflowerguy Oct 2020
I have forgotten how I look when I laugh
Did I snort?
Did my eyes become smaller during?
I wonder what I used to do with my hands
Can someone remind me?

I have forgotten how my laughter sounds
Did I take breaths in between?
Was I loud?
Or was it silent?
Like I am now

They say when you laugh you look towards the person you like the most
Is this why I look down?
Is this why I don't laugh anymore?

Look into me
Thewallflowerguy Aug 2020
If you could look into my mind you would see thoughts of you all day long as if my spine is a never ending film reel of you.
If you could look into my heart you would see that you are the only one who resides in it. It's your fortress.
And if you could hear my heart beat a bit better you would not hear dub-lub but dub-love because love is all I have for you.
But you have always looked straight through me, haven't you?
And it was always me the one who was listening to you, wasn't it?
Can't seem to get you out of my mind or heart

Fix me
Thewallflowerguy Jul 2020
I am famished but don't feel like
eating.
I am exhausted but I can't
sleep.
I am alive but don't feel like
living.
I want to cry but the tears never seem
flow.
I want to move on but my legs are
glued together.
I want to say so much but my lips are
sewn shut.
I don't want to look at her anymore, but my eyes are
wide open.
I feel like writing but my hands only come up with
mediocre.
I feel like dying but don't have the
courage.
I feel like reaching out for
help.
Can anyone just
Fix me?

Dear Time
Thewallflowerguy Jul 2020
Dear Time,
Did my last letter reach you a bit late?
The letter in which I asked you to stand still because I thought it couldn't get better than this
Well, a lot has changed since then
Now it feels like you are still when I want you to skip right to the end.
Jump to the end of my time, would you?
I feel dead inside, wouldn't it feel better if I felt the same way outside too?
It's okay if this letter takes a while to reach you
Things don't seem like they are going to improve any time soon.
Thank you if I don't get a chance to write to you again.
Yours truly,
The wallflower guy.

Lose Myself
Thewallflowerguy Jul 2020
Saying everything on my mind like you want me to
Will make me lose you forever
And I can't survive that
So I keep it in
Where it will make me lose myself
And I can live with that
Can't I?
It's like I can't live with or without her

Rejected
Thewallflowerguy Jul 2020
Legs feel weaker
Eyes want to stay shut
It's like my body doesn't want to move anymore
Stop seeing anything but darkness
All my hurt and pain visibly coming out of me
One puke and tear drop at a time
My heart beats faster and faster as if wanting to complete all the beats it has remaining in this instant
I imagine this is what a robot experiencing a malfunction feels like
But then again, a robot can't feel anything
What I would give to be able to not feel anything right now
Or just be able to swtich off with the hit of a button
This is what I felt like after being rejected. Maybe others went through a similar experience. Or maybe this rejection hit way harder than most because it was a best friend.

I See You
Thewallflowerguy Dec 2019
I see you
I see me
Not being chosen
I see you having more fun
I see you walk by in your seducing scarlet jumpsuit casuallly dismissing me
I see your lips with a dark shade of  maroon moving and not a single moment of silence
I see your hazel brown eyes not even glancing  towards me
I see the red-brown of your hair but they face me
I see your long silver earings dangling and shaking as you laugh
I see the golden bracelets in your hand  slide back as you tie your hair
I see you
I see me
                             All alone
When you are nothing more than a second choice

Love You More
Thewallflowerguy Jan 2019
You must have heard the phrase
"I love you more"
a countless times
Couples go back and forth saying this to each other in a pretend argument
But can you really love someone "more"
Can love be quantified?
And if you are quantifying love, is it really love?
Because if you truly love someone, you just love them

My Antidepressant
Thewallflowerguy Dec 2018
You are my anti depressants
Every second with you makes me feel like my life doesn't ****
With you I don't have to put up a facade
With you I feel like I belong, like I fit in perfectly
And that this puzzle piece can't fit in anywhere but with you
With you I feel complete
With you my mind can't hurt me anymore
With you my mind forgets to think
You **** my anxiety
Your vibe is infectious
It makes me a more fun human
You make me forget that I was ever depressed
You are the perfect antidepressant
I just hope I don't get addicted
To everyone who has someone amazing like this in their lives

It's my birthday today
Thewallflowerguy Nov 2018
I don't get why people look forward to their birthdays
I always dread my birthday
I wish it could have been avoided
All that unwanted attention

But the truth is I hate it because of the unwanted attention I don't get
I just sit on my bed, alone, waiting for my phone to buzz: A message, a call, anything. Even a hbd on my facebook timeline would do.
But no
All I get is silence
Is this all I deserve?
Why do I let how many people wish me determine my self worth?
I know it doesn't matter but on my birthday its my anxiety that has a party
If people I talk to only once a year don't wish me I am okay with it
But they are the only ones who do
The rest tell me they forgot
and I
brush them off by saying that "It doesn't matter" with a fake smile
Even though it does
Even though my lack of self esteem leaves me feeling lonely, depressed and with a tear streaked face

Cause the thought that even the people whom I care about don't remember me, do they really care about me?
Its a scary thought having no friends especially when it's true
This is why hating the day makes it easier to survive it
Hating it makes the day lose its power;this grip it has over me

I am desperately waiting for the day when this grip is loosened but until then I will continue to hate it
I know everyone may not agree with me and might find this stupid and immature but I had to get this out of my system, so thank you for bearing with me.

A cry for help
Thewallflowerguy May 2018
That guy has social anxiety
That guy has no friends
That guy is judged by his first impression
And it doesn't go further than that
Because that guy doesn't get a chance to portray who he is
That guy is an introvert
That guy is lonely and depressed
But to hide it he puts on so many facades for so many different people
That guy has forgotten where the facade ends and where he begins
That guy has been hiding so long he has found comfort in this lonileness
That guy looking back in the mirror is forlorn, troubled and is longing for help
            So please Help Me!

Missed opportunity
Thewallflowerguy May 2018
My deepest regret
My strongest desire
Waiting for the right time?
Look at the liar
Always hated myself
As from a distance I'd admire

Whenever I saw her
Common sense went out the window
I was a coward and
Couldn't see myself in the mirror anymore

Time passed by
Distance grew
From a wish
She became a what if
From my crush
She became the thought that crushed me

I'd often find myself day dreaming about what it would be like to be with her
It always brought a playful grin on my face
But now all it does is fill me with regret
Because she was the girl I couldn't get
She was my missed opportunity
To all the people who never had the courage to express their feelings.

I want a relationship
Thewallflowerguy May 2018
I want to be in a relationship
Even though I know I will be bad at it
I want to get my heart broken
So that it can be mended bit by bit
I want to get into fights and do all the cheesy ****
I want to be there whenever she throws a fit

I want to be in a relationship                            
But the friends whom I envied kept asking why
Would you if you had no one to talk to about how you are going to get by
Or when you look around and there is nobody to hear your sigh
And nobody to comfort you when you cry


I want to be in a relationship
So I can tell someone how my day went
Someone I can complain to and vent
Spend time with the person to whom my heart I lent
Knowing that if it ever ends it might leave a dent
Knowing that if it ever ends it might be broken and bent

I want to be in a relationship
Because I am tired of being used to the still phone
Because I am tired of being used to the loneliness
Because I am tired of hiding behind a facade
Because I am tired of not knowing how long I can take it anymore
I want to be in a relationship...
To everyone who feels lonely and are tired of being alone

— The End —
