i need you..
Xyns Jan 2015
I have those moments
When all I want to do is
Read your words
Hear your voice
Hold you close
And feel your warmth..

And I have those moments
When all I want to do is
Finally drown
In this ocean
Of endless sadness
And just slip into gray..

Right now
I feel both
And I need you here
To lie to me and say
Everything is ok
And you're going to stay..
This is to you.
The guy I dream about.
The guy I've fallen for.
The guy I've damaged.
The guy I don't deserve.

Our Game
Xyns Mar 2014
Your touch is like sin
I'll still give in

I know it's wrong
But it's all I want

Your lust infects me
Courses through my veins

I know it's not right
It'll only fuel the fight

Your voice soothes me
It moves me

I know I should run
But the game has only just begun

Liar, Liar, Liar
Xyns Apr 2018
Oh, we had it all
Bridges burnt
In love, ready to fall
Alienated,
But still together
We made it

Soul mates, you said
Forever, you said
"It's better to have loved and lost"
Well, I disagree
I'd rather have
Never loved at all


Liar, Liar, Liar
You're a *******
*******
I hope that one day
Cancer
Is what you get

You're weak
Pathetic
A child, really
"I feel like a man"
Really?
I don't understand

A man could work
He could try
He'd hang in there
When things weren't right
But you couldn't
You're no man

You're a sad little boy
With a little **** complex
Maybe that's for good reason
It's not like you were
Any good at pleasing
Hehe I know, I shouldn't have..

Ache
Xyns Oct 2016
Go ahead shout, scream some more
My chest is aching, heart is sore
As I cry, bow out, and sit on the floor
You don't feel, get angry, slam the door
I'd say we're together at the core
But it's clear to me, can't you see
*Love doesn't live here anymore

Revelations
Xyns Nov 2017
She watched as the flames bit at her heels

And stared on in silence
As the sting licked her calves
Inching slowly upwards, aiming for the ****

She let the light blind her in her daze

And settled into the abyss
As the anguish learned her name
To haunt her dreams and taint her days

She whispered her pleas

And released herself slowly
As the rage took total possession
Reminding her chest of the purpose of greed

She captured it in a Polaroid picture

And shoved all else away
As she glared at it in shock and awe
Beholding the explosive, exclusive, targeted rapture

It truly amazes me
That after so much

All the words you said
All the things you did
All the feelings you caused

That you can just stop
And you can just leave
And, to you,
I never meant a thing

..........................................................­.............................


It truly amazes me

Tears Of Joy
Xyns Mar 2014
It really is shocking
That someone like me
Could trip and stumble
And fall right into
That hole in the ground
Filled with happiness and tears
Filled with risks and fears
That we all call love

I never thought
That I could ever
Be so utterly consumed
By one man
By one soul
And sometimes
It shakes me to the core
I cry a little more
Every single time
You say, "I'm glad you're mine"
We can stay this way forever
Fill our infinity with each other
Hold on to one another
And, as always, I'll cry a little more
Tears Of Joy
655 · Mar 2014
Destined
Xyns Mar 2014
We can let the pleasure
Drip off our bodies
We could never measure
The depths of this affection

The simplest things you do
Change my whole day
The smallest things undo
The biggest mistakes

Our world can crash around us
We'll still have each other
Our life could never break us
We'll still adore each other

I know that you're the one
At the end of the day
Because when all is said and done
We're meant to be

Missing You
Xyns Apr 2014
That was supposed to be me
I'm supposed to be the one with you right now
Calling you baby and holding your hand
Kissing your cheek and making you laugh

I remember when it was
When you were faithful and you cared
I remember how sweet you were
I remember when you turned

Was it your friends?
Or was I just not good enough?
It's times like this when I miss you
I was tempted with the thought of you and now I'm relapsing

I have a love
I have someone better
But still I sit here in tears
Wishing I could still call you my dear

And I know if he read this, he'd wonder why
Why am I not satisfied?
Well, I am. He's more than enough
I just can't function through this brokenness sometimes

I don't want you back..
I just want to know you
I just want to see your face and still be ok
I don't want you back

It hurts to think about it
It still gives me nightmares sometimes
And still stings my chest
But I'm not giving in

I won't text you no matter how bad I want to
I won't say I love you even though it feels like routine
I won't assume to position of my arms around you
I won't break and do what you want me to

But it's so hard
When I still have your number
Still want to run to you and hold you
Still wish to be your everything

I want to hurt you more though
For all this pain you've caused
And for how you've broken my trust
And left me damaged

I just wish I'd never asked your name
Never given you a hug
Or gave you my number
Never put up with the racist laughter

I stood up for you
You knew I was true
And you used it
Why didn't I see it?

I still lie to myself
Saying if I were to see you today
That you'd want me
You'd still need me

I'm too stupid
Too broken to know
But my heart now belongs to another
And he's putting it back together
It's been 7 months now.
And I still miss your face
Still like to say your name
Even though I'm taken
And he's definitely staying
So says the ring
He gave to me
650 · Mar 2014
Marry Me

One Last Time
Xyns Mar 2014
Baby, let me hold you one last time
Give me this chance to call you mine
I know you won't miss me
But I'll always yearn for you here

Baby, let me love you one last time
Give me this chance to trace your tattoos
I know you don't care for my innocence
But I gave it to you anyway

Dear, allow me to feel your skin
Let our bodies move once more with grace
I'll open myself to you once again
I'll entertain your wondering hand

Dear, allow me to wear your lust
Let our movements synchronize as we sigh
I'll release this tension within
I'll caress your face as you enter in

Cold Feet
Xyns Nov 2017
Why does every poem published feel risky?
Why does it cause me such a hard time?
I think "What am I even doing?"
And "Am I wasting my time?"

Is it recognition that I'm seeking?
Or is there something else I'm trying to find?

And just what is wrong with me?
Is this a talent, obsession, or is it an affliction?

If you could only see the way i scribble addictively..
I wouldn't be shocked if you staged an intervention.
Am I a poet or am I losing my sanity?
And could all my hopes be founded in fiction?

Still, my goal isn't nearly defined.
My mental organization could be improved..
I write as much as a nut case of some kind.
Is it in my best interest for my pen to be removed?

Patterns and stanzas keep me shallowly refined.
I'll ignore the hazard; it's excused.

*No reason to admit defeat because of cold feet.

He told me that I
Was his little secret  
I told him that he
Was worth the pain  

He told me that I
Could hold his hand
I told him that he
Could bring me shame

And I know that it's wrong
And I know I should change  

But the words that he said
They drove me insane  

And I know that it's wrong
And I know I should change  

But  

He told me that I
Was his sweetest pain
I told him that he
Was my best mistake  

He told me that I
Could be his favorite lie
I told him that he
Could make me cry..

Lonely
Xyns Jul 2014
Sometimes I feel lonely
I'm not alone
I have a boyfriend
And great friends
But within myself
I feel abandoned
I feel lost, abused, and afraid
But mostly I'm lonely
I don't know why
All I know is I'm dying inside
It's horrible in my mind
I need stability
I need internal security
It's terrible to be lonely

Relentless
Xyns Mar 2014
Does it taste sour?
The bitter hand of reality
It used to feed you
But you bit it

Does it feel painful?
The sharp blade of death
It used to protect you
But you abused it

I hope it's disgusting
I hope it stings
Because the truth
Is relentless

Childish Things
Xyns Mar 2017
Words once so tangible
Phrases so easily written
Character after Character
Flowing so elegantly
Cascading flawlessly
Dripping from ****** lips
And filled with a ******'s confidence

Artistic expression
Which can only flourish
In the shallow waters
Of innocence's temper

Dreams clinging foolishly
Fueled by nonexistent beliefs
In nonexistent things
Unknowingly temporary
Oh, so faithful were they
As they faded into memories
And we drained every ******* bit

Purity once so present
Talent once so black and white
Blurs into grey, stoner stories,
Pipe dreams, and *Childish Things

It's True
Xyns Nov 2015
Nothing hurts me like your words do
So I get mad and I hurt you

Then you blame me
Say I'm crazy
Wanna leave me
But you need me
Though your angry

But I used to love you
And, ****, I still do
And that's true

And I'm not lying
Got nothing to be denying
But I bet we'll still be fighting
Till I'm alone and I'm crying

But I used to love you
And, ****, I still do
And that's true

I can't imagine my life with anyone but you
I ******* love you
And that's true
A love poem.

This Time
Xyns Sep 2016
She doesn't want to hide behind
That screen of lies.
She doesn't want to have to this time.

She doesn't want to change your mind;
You're gone, she's fine.
She doesn't want to go back this time.

And, no, She doesn't want to hold your hand
You're cold, *******.
She doesn't want to say this again.

She doesn't want to accept she's ******
Will she if she can?
She doesn't want to lose it over a man.

She's got pride
It's hard to hide
But you're wise
Know her disguise
Changed her mind
Called her "mine"
Now she'll cry
Because of lies
But you're blind
You don't mind

But, no, She doesn't want to hide behind
That screen of lies.
She doesn't want to have to this time.

And She doesn't want to hold your hand.
You're cold, *******.

*She doesn't want to go back this time.
A poem about a toxic relationship.

...quite confused...
Xyns Aug 2017
For the longest I was confused
I wondered who I was
And what I wanted too

But now that my love has gone unused
I know exactly who I am
And what I want is you

Sadly, if I bring that up to you
I know that I'll be rejected
And given some type of excuse

This has got to be emotional abuse
Even if it's being done by myself
And not caused by you

Sadly, I do feel quite used
The question sits in my mind..
Should I let go of you?

I need to hear something from you
Otherwise
That's exactly what I'll do..

Scandal

As it kissed my lips with hidden passion

I Love You
Xyns Mar 2014
A phrase said so much
It's almost lost its meaning
Started so important
So influential

It has lost its touch
Because it's said too much
Not often thought through
It's now a reflex

Take this seriously
I mean it truly
You are my everything
I Love You

What would I do
Without your smile
Causing mine?

What would I do
Without your voice
Responding to mine?

What would I do
Without your mind
Encouraging mine?

What would I do
Without your arms
Entwined with mine?

What would I do
Without your world
Colliding with mine?

What would I do
Without you?

Tunnels
Xyns Sep 2017
"There's a light at the end of the tunnel"
It seems that this tunnel may have no end

Worship false idols and wear empty titles
It seems that this may be the trend

Hate in diplomacy; drown in monotony
It seems I may break and not bend

There's a blown light at the end of this tunnel
It seems I may force it to end

Pale porcelain face

She was faulty
Cracked in her case

Just Another Day
Xyns Aug 2017
I don't want today to be just another day.
Will I wake up tomorrow still feeling confusing pain?
When you hear "love," will you think of my name?

I don't want today to be just another day.
Will you dismiss my words and toss them away?
Did you really understand the words I chose to say?

I don't want today to be just another day.
Will you think of my heart as a simple game to play?
Are you going to turn me into a tragic regret anyway?

I don't want today to be just another day.
Will you have more excuses to say?
Will I have to let you fade?

Confessions #c
Xyns Dec 2016
"Laughter is the best medicine."
That must be true
I wouldn't believe it
Had I never met you

Your smile was enchanting
A brightness to rival that of the North Star
A single smirk could warm my heart
Sadly, so estranged, we now are

I'd love to deny I developed feelings
And my expressions are elementary
But your words gave things new meanings
And I know this is rudimentary

You were, to me, simply poetry
You made me melt, then fall apart
I can't deny, you took my breath away
Your presence, I can only call art

Free as an Autumn leaf
You moved as the wind blew
For me, if only momentarily
And with the breeze, away you flew

Where Do I Begin?
Xyns Nov 2017
I wanna take you all in
But where do I begin?

Star-lit kisses, every tattoo to trace
Just to put a smile on your face
In hopes that it always stays

I wanna take you all in
I'll start by tasting your skin

Pray for you and hold you close
Watch you grin and crinkle your nose
Telling inside secrets that no one knows

I wanna take you all in
Something so good it must be sin

I'll love you now, I'll love you later
Renewing pieces to fill my chest's crater
All along, you've clearly been this girl's savior

I wanna take you all in
Feel your warmth on me again

Remember me. I'll go nowhere
When I'm with you, the world ain't unfair
So please dont leave; I'd follow you anywhere

I wanna take you all in..
Oh where do I begin?

Alone.
Xyns Apr 2015
In a world void of loving arms
Hollow when it comes to affection
She'd fallen too often for false charms
And was resentful of any connection
A safe haven to her, but to others, harm

With a slit of her frail wrists
A bottle of gin, four shots in
She considers the suicide olympics
In this life, she'll never win
All she wants is to end this

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."
But all she ever wanted was a friend
Pain was all they ever put her through
No one ever considered lending a hand
She had never met anyone who had been true

They come alone with kind eyes
They make promises and call her beautiful
It all renews her faith in guys
Then the brokenness they cause is plentiful
And her anger reaches new heights

So now she's here, all alone
Slumming it with the worst of them
The high she feels is her home
At least this way, her life won't end
*She's better off on her own

I miss the way things used to be
Back when it was just you and me
In the backroom, smoking a doobie
Making love better than they do in the movies
Showing each other crazy new things
Giggling, we were always laughing
Holding each other like otherwise we had nothing

Now, i sit here all alone
I only see you through my phone
It's been so long now you've been gone
And we're both finally almost grown
And neither of us has wanted to move on
I thank God I get to call you my own
And right now I can't stop staring
                       at your picture on my phone

Tequila can be so kind

Just like our music and movies
Pop and rock and nothing classic

Whiskey can shine so bright
It can light up your darkness
Just like our words and phrases
Cursing and cussing at anyone close

***** can be so hot
It can burn up your thoughts
Just like the things we do
Messing with your head all the time

Drinks can be so human
They can be so life-like
Just like our humanity
They're like us, our personalites
