still it burns

That
     Flame
          You
               Lit
                    Without
                         Knowing
                    Is
               Now
           But
     Slowly
Burning

I
   Thought
          I
             Already
                   Put
                        That
                             Out
                                  Then
                             Never
                         Realized
                    I
               Never
        Really
Can

Optimism/Pessimism
Maria E Jun 2014
A bright right now is all we wish,
To dream of sunshine and rainbows and other bright things.
But life gives us lemons so sour we choke,
We get it, we know, but life still does joke.

Positive thinking makes us try to forget,
The not only sour but bitter truth that lies ahead.
Not that its not great, really it is.
But it makes does make me wonder what do we really get from this?

Our Star's Still Bright
Maria E Jun 2014
The voice I posses is no greater than the rest
My mind's no better I can't take just any test
I cry with little things, laugh with the same
Surely to no one, greater I came

But to be adored by many is not what I intend
Just to be loved deeply by someone I depend
With his whole heart, his being, his soul
One who I could also love without control

We might not be as infinite as one until three
But our own infinity is enough, just enough for me
That love you gave, you gave it true
There's nothing more I could ask, just another chance to be with you
In light of another inspiration -- The Fault in Our Stars, Hazel and Gus

(Sorry if I didn't give enough justice. I just really wanted to create a poem for the wonderful work Mr. John Green made. The book's awesome and so is the movie. So yeah, TFTBA people! :) )

Eventuality
Maria E Jun 2014
Who would have known you'd come unexpectedly,

In a quite expected place,

In little expected time?

What has been first a lie,
Came a close truth second.

Our fate had been awfully bittersweet,
But you have been just what I had needed.

Mush
Maria E Jun 2014
I did have dreamed of summer nights and romantic flings
I did have longed for a taste of true love's sweet kiss
I did have wished for a love so sweet, so nice and true
But I did not hope that I would get those as lies from you
In light of not wanting to do anything

Unfinished
Maria E Jun 2014
Deep sorrow and agony fell
Emptiness and unfeeling grows
A good thing or not it tells
People stare but no one truly knows

More and more they came
Less and less of you comes along
A good thing or not it tells
You still hope and hope and hope and long
In light of what was happened

Haunted
Maria E Jun 2014
The ghost of a question hangs on by
Always lurking, always haunting, always by my side
With a beautiful face its feature has it tempts
Then eats you, plays you again and again and again

I don't know, I don't know I whisper
It doesn't go away
It grows bigger, bigger, bigger especially in the day
Stop it, please stop. I don't know I cry
Instead it laughs for you are not getting by

It says "Can't you see, What's real is this, accept if you must
Only the future could see, the future is what you could trust
But uncertainty it holds, it protects it dear
You just have to wait, you'll have to hang on still
Until then I'm here, until then you'd see me
Until the future gives it judgement, I'll be laughing with glee.
"



*"would anyone *love me?"

Cliché
Maria E Jun 2014
Do we still get to see each other again?

I never knew there could be so much lies between your lines.
We knew, you and I both.
Such *formalities
to put on, what a cold unpleasant word.
It's just what happens, no one to gets to choose.
Not you, not I, it's just what it is.
No stops, no pauses, the world goes on still.

But then --
*Yes. I hope so.
In light of an inspiration from a tweet by Neil deGrasse Tyson -- "If your sentence contain the word 'Hope' then you've confessed no control for the outcome you're hoping for."

Go On
Maria E Jun 2014
In the blur of everything perfect around,
You couldn't even hear what you sound.
You can't see how desperate you've come to be,
How, little by little, you didn't let yourself free.

You've come to hate who you are.
You didn't even let yourself see the stars.
Caged inside of you, you didn't let them shine through,
Believing they're not there, you kept the key for only you.

You've always thought that perfection is the key.
No matter what, that's what you have to be.
Expected the worst, hoped for the best,
With luck, you left the rest.

It's not what's important yes you knew.
But you didn't want to hear it, didn't want it to ring true.
It was hard yes, it really was indeed.
But really, what did you hope it would be?

It wasn't a walk in the park but finally, you understood.
That it's okay, that you are still you.
You didn't have to prove yourself, that you should be extraordinary,
It's okay, whatever you are, whatever you've come to be.

Accepting yourself truly is what's best.
You needed it, to endure that depressing test.
Sure it's hard, it's okay not to be okay,
But remember to stand up, remember to, ultimately, be brave.
In light of my old depression

no idea (10w)
Maria E Jun 2014
Yes, I wanted you
But really,
I needed you more
In light of not falling asleep
