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

I can't help her
I can't stop it

I'm so ******* useless
While she suffers
I sit in bed

And she's so far away
That I can't even hug her one last time
They're ******* pulling her off life support
unnamed Dec 2019
Your soft hands held mine
And it felt
As if for one small moment
Everything was right
In the world

I didn’t think love was suppose to hurt
unnamed May 2020
Love is not a complicated word
And yet it caused all this trouble
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.
unnamed Apr 2020
Why is it that the best people have the worst luck?
unnamed Mar 2020
I always hated the feeling of falling
But you made it a little bit easier
unnamed Feb 2020
We hurt ourselves
To distract our hearts

I'm not quite certain
if it's working anymore
unnamed Feb 2020
How dreadfully divine
unnamed Jan 2020
But you swore
You swore
You wouldn’t
Give
Up
On
Me







was that a lie too?
unnamed Aug 2020
We’ve got a sky full of diamonds
And you expect me to sleep?
unnamed Sep 2019
Should I hang in there
For just one more day?
unnamed Oct 2020
The world feels impossible to bear right now.
unnamed Apr 2020
It was not fun having a close friend named inferiority and an acquaintance called depression.
unnamed Apr 2020
If you stare long enough
You’ll start to notice the cracks
So please,
Look away.
unnamed May 2020
Why is it that
All artists are mad
And poets sad?
unnamed May 2020
Why is it that
Stone statues look like flesh
Yet people feel like stone
unnamed Feb 2020
We may all be made of starstuff
But so are toilets
And dog ****
As well as radiation

Not quite so poetic now?
unnamed Feb 2020
He couldn't move.
His body wouldn't let him.
He couldn't focus on anything
But her and the color red.
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 Jan 2021
i know that i will never truly be human,
but you make me want to try
unnamed Sep 2023
I have not felt very real since I've come here
unnamed May 2020
My mind has consumed my being
unnamed Oct 2022
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 Feb 2021
"They are dead," he says.
"And you are alive and have been for eons.
When will you stop walking amongst the ghosts?"
unnamed Dec 2020
his lips press against my own
somewhere in the universe,
supernovas explode,
and the impact echos in my core
unnamed Oct 2020
loving you sounds like lots of fun
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 Dec 2020
He is beautiful,
an Aphrodite made of marble and stars,
drops of the ocean captured for the
crystalline blue of his eyes.

unnamed Jun 2020
I abso-*******-lutley want to freaking **** myself at the moment
unnamed Jun 2020
Even angels would fall for you
unnamed Dec 2020
you were not meant to be a dying star,
not when you could burn as brightly as the sun
unnamed Feb 2021
all the city lights combined
would only be half
as bright as you

unnamed Jul 2021
fraying bandages adorn my fingers in place of glistening jewels
unnamed Aug 2024
When do I stop liking getting hurt?
How do I stop seeing pain as proof
unnamed May 2020
You’ve always left wounds to fester.
unnamed Nov 2019
So this is love
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 Aug 2022
She is what I see in the evening leaves; dappled in fading sunlight
unnamed Mar 2020
The soft press of his lips to mine
Hands cradle my face as if he’s afraid
He’ll break me
And though I try not to be
I’m afraid too
unnamed Dec 2020
”You make me feel more alive than ever,”

“And I am afraid that I make you feel nothing at all.”

unnamed Jun 2020
The three of them,
They are
The sun,
Stars,
And
The moon
unnamed May 2020
How can you expect me to think
Much less speak
After even a glance
From your tiredly beautiful eyes?
unnamed May 2020
Why is it
That I hate
The feeling
Of this
Heart
Beating
?
unnamed May 2021
His heart is of gold

It bled so, so easily, though

unnamed Sep 2020
I love you but I don’t want you
unnamed Dec 2020
everything and nothing shifts all at once
unnamed Jun 2020
It’s okay to be the clouds or the stars
Instead of the moon or sun
