pluto

you wake up
his hair is spilled across the pillow,
the sun slants across his cheekbone
and his breath is slow and even.
he smells like an open field
and his body is wrapped around yours
so he keeps you warm.
you think,
there is no moment better than this,
that he is too perfect to exist.
but you wake up gasping,
skin soaked in sweat.
you lie there for a long time,
in your completely empty bed.

Raindrops

Raindrops

Tears fell from her eyes
Felt her pain in my heart
She ran in my arms
Wiped the raindrops away
And saw a smile like the sun
On her face.

empty seas

control + alt + delete

i went through
every poem
about her
and made them
disappear

maybe now
it'll be easier
to feel better
to feel free

i have no more poems
about the good times
for the bad times
outweighed them

i feel freer
although i am sad
my most popular poem
is gone

it is for the best
i am freer

if you noticed my number of poems drop down randomly in the past two days, that is because i deleted all my poems about my manipulative ex
i was going to leave them up as a testament to our time together (unsurprisingly, a lot of those poems were actually quite negative). I am usually unafraid of the past but my poems about her made me cringe whenever I saw them. I deleted them to make me feel better.

wish

starlight,
star bright
the sun is awfully
dim tonight
i wish i may
i wish i might
don’t let the darkness
quench my light.

I

I break people
cut strings
bury feelings
break me
and I am
broken
undone
scattered
slowly erased
spitting blood
wishing for the world to just
end
because I don't want
cant
take another
blind step.

monsters

monsters

every little thing is scaring me
shadows of darkness
lurking around every corner
deafening sounds ring in my ears
i jump because of every noise i hear
i'm scared
i told him i was afraid of the dark
he holds me close and whispers
"i'll protect you from the monsters"
i didn't know he was talking about the ones in my head

this never happened but i still like to dream

Cold rainy nights

Cold rainy nights

I feel like curling into a ball
I miss myself
I miss warmth
Happiness
I miss the feeling of a first loves kiss
The tingling in my fingertips
but all I’ve left is dark and grey

“Loveliest girl in the world”

“Loveliest girl in the world”

“Oh, the darkest night? I’ve seen it.” She said.

“Really?” He replied.

“Oh, the saddest song? I’ve heard it.”

“Really?”

“Oh, the coldest night? I’ve felt it.
How about you?” She asked.

“Oh, the loveliest girl?
I’ve loved her for years”, he replied.
And she smiled, sweetly.
