You don't deserve my tears
But I deserve to let myself cry
Short

Like The Moon

Even the moon changes,
Develops,
After time,
becomes whole
So why can't you?

I mean,
you kind of do
But like the moon you
always go back
It's just not as gradual

I think of you both at night
Except with you
It makes me unable to sleep

At least the moon is up there in the sky
Just looking pretty
And following my car
Catching my eye
Making me smile
Not making me cry

I love the moon
But that's weird because
Is it's similar to you

Do you see me?
On the outskirts of the crowd
Looking in at the talking
Always looking in
If my mouth ever opens
To contribute a word  
I am cut off
The populars owning the chatter
I simply close my mouth
Nod and smile to the others’ looks
And you forget I am here

Do you see me?
In the very centre of the crowd
Looking out at the chatter
Never looking in
Every word from my lips
Is funny, ingenious
The best thing you’ve heard today
I am expected to have words
For every occasion
Just once
I want to close my mouth
Nod and smile to the others’ words
And you forget I am here
Tried to do a little comparison here, lemme know if it worked or if it sounds rough :)

I'm So Tired
 Dec 2024 amelie

I'm so tired
I barely slept at all

I'm so tired
I don't have the energy to pick up your call

I'm so tired
My mental capacity is not one enough to deal with you

I'm so tired
Of staying quiet

I'm so tired
Of going to the same torture everyday

I'm so tired
And confused

I'm so tired
My eyes only close in morning

I'm so tired
And the day has just begun

I'm so tired
Of the world

I'm so tired
And my excitement for the day?
None

Almost

Winter
we almost made it to the finish line,
we almost made it to the aisle,
i almost got my happy ending,
and i almost wore the dress.
(i almost said i do)

you got too busy for us,
trying to reach the sky,
forgetting me on the ground,
leaving me to die.

we almost passed the test,
and we almost became the first,
you almost said i was the dream,
and you almost swore forever.
(you almost said i do)

the future that we dreamed,
it's so far out of reach.
now we are worse than strangers,
trying to mend the welts.

In her pretty brown eyes
You could see it
Even with that dainty smile
Her happiness
Vanished
She saw
The disgust
As she looked in the mirror
The hatred
Took over
Her self-love
The pain
Changed
Her mindset
Now
She had sleepless nights full of hopes and dreams
Where
Her tear stained cheeks hit the pillow
She was troubled
Her only wish
Was
Becoming an aura that made people think of the color yellow
She remembers when
If anyone asked
She would’ve said
“I’m used to it.”

Now read from bottom to top.

Everytime I look in the mirror I smile
Not because I think im pretty
But because i don't want the mirror girl to be sad
Because to me she is separate
I don't want that girl to see me cry
Everytime I look in the mirror I smile
Not because I'm happy
but because she's pretty
Even if I am ugly
Inside out and all over
That girl will always be pretty
Everytime I look in the mirror I smile
Because that girl is me
She deserves to be pretty
She deserves to be happy
Inside out
And all over
We wrote a
chapter together…
Once a story of happiness—
soon foreshadowing
what’s now a tragic
epilogue of heartache.

A haunting tale of
A broken connection
sinking in the ocean…
inky quotes
Stabbed my heart
Open with
illusions:

“I love you…”
“I promise…”
“I HATE YOU!”

The weight of cold,
bitter emotions—
etched into the pages
of an unforgiving lie,
and moments
full of regret.
I’d wish
I could
forget you.

You wanted to
write a new chapter,
but I’ve already closed
the book,
left it on the shelf…
where I found you
