When do I stop liking getting hurt?
How do I stop seeing pain as proof
unnamed Apr 2020
If you stare long enough
You’ll start to notice the cracks
So please,
Look away.

He is beautiful,
an Aphrodite made of marble and stars,
drops of the ocean captured for the
crystalline blue of his eyes.

unnamed Dec 2020
the winter steals away summer’s breath

Why is it that the best people have the worst luck?

I always did like the spark
More than the fire

fraying bandages adorn my fingers in place of glistening jewels

we acted as though we held all the time in the world in the palms of our calloused hands
unnamed Feb 2021
the stars stuck to my ceiling
don’t glow in the dark anymore
unnamed May 2020
Why is it
That I hate
The feeling
Of this
Heart
Beating
?
unnamed Nov 2019
So this is love
unnamed Feb 2021
and so the captain stole not only a dance, but the princess’s heart

I abso-*******-lutley want to freaking **** myself at the moment

the sky is crushing my shoulders
yet they watch and tell me to
brace my knees

everything and nothing shifts all at once

"They are dead," he says.
"And you are alive and have been for eons.
When will you stop walking amongst the ghosts?"
unnamed May 2021
His heart is of gold

It bled so, so easily, though

unnamed Nov 2019
I can see it in your eyes
And I can taste it in your lips
I feel it on your wrists
Why are you in such pain?
unnamed Jun 2020
Burn, and let the sparks engulf you
Scorching your skin
In order to strengthen your mind
unnamed Dec 2020
the world stops for no one,
but, maybe, it might
slow down for us, my love
unnamed Jun 2020
Even angels would fall for you
unnamed Apr 2021
we are naught but a passage in history
to be swept away at the turn of the page

i am merely one

Something dangerous is in the curve of her lips.
I wonder what my name would sound like coming from them,
how her tongue might wrap around the letters,
if she'd chew on the syllables.

It could be hers. If she wanted it.
unnamed Mar 2021
you are... good.
good in a way i think i’ve forgotten how to be.
unnamed Dec 2019
Your soft hands held mine
And it felt
As if for one small moment
Everything was right
In the world

The sky isn’t the only thing crying tonight
unnamed Mar 2020
I want a life worth writing about
unnamed Mar 2020
I chased after you
But you disappeared
And I never had a chance
To catch up

For I couldn’t follow you
Where you were going

You weren’t going to
The ends of Earth
You were going beyond

But you needn’t worry
It might take me a
Little while

But one day
I’ll follow you
There as well
unnamed May 2020
Love is not a complicated word
And yet it caused all this trouble

you were not meant to be a dying star,
not when you could burn as brightly as the sun
unnamed Jan 2022
She walks around the city now with the weight of a dead man’s armor on her back.
Sometimes it feels so heavy she can't breathe.
She feels the weight of a dead man’s armor on her back and the weight of a dead man’s memory and she wonders how she’s going to survive this.
unnamed May 2020
Her heart ached
for many reasons
But above all
It ached for you

unnamed Dec 2020
his lips press against my own
somewhere in the universe,
supernovas explode,
and the impact echos in my core
unnamed Apr 2020
I miss the feeling of excitement
Of not being able to sleep because I’m too busy waiting for tomorrow
Of furiously reading a book to know the ending
And that feeling has slowly waned over the years
And now with school out
I have nothing to look forward to
I’m only 15, but I’m already so tired
I miss wanting to be awake
Even if it’s just for a little while longer
unnamed May 2020
Why is it that
All artists are mad
And poets sad?
unnamed May 2020
I’m in a better place now
I don’t know if it’ll last long
But at least now I know
I can do it alone
unnamed Nov 2019
The snow had began to fall
And he could feel
The soft flakes
Kissing his red cheeks

unnamed May 2020
You’ve always left wounds to fester.
unnamed May 2020
Why is it that
Stone statues look like flesh
Yet people feel like stone
unnamed Mar 2020
I always hated the feeling of falling
But you made it a little bit easier
unnamed Apr 2020
I didn’t think love was suppose to hurt
unnamed Jan 2021
with each page turn,
I wonder if it is me you love
or the book itself
unnamed Dec 2019
How terribly unfortunate
-atlas
unnamed Sep 2019
Should I hang in there
For just one more day?

I have not felt very real since I've come here
unnamed Jan 2020
But you swore
You swore
You wouldn’t
Give
Up
On
Me







was that a lie too?
unnamed Apr 2020
Have you ever been seated in class and just wondered what if?
What if I just stood up and walked out
What if I threw my desk
What if I shouted and interrupted the teacher
Would it be worth it to just scream?
Alas, we know the answer to this question
We’d be sent down to the office
We’d be yelled at and punished
And so,
We stay seated.
