Let's dance
AndSoOn Jan 2019
I used to dance alone,
Along so many people, lost in the crowd,

I used to look for myself, trying to
Create my life's guidelines

They say it comes when you are least excepting it
Ask no question then, and let's dance together

So we began to dance, completely intertwined
Afraid of the upcoming day and reality

I was not expecting you

We have not met so I could write better, or cry less,
We met so you could see yourself like I admire you

Kiss Them All Away
AndSoOn Jul 2019
I wish I could give you
Peace. Fresh air. A break.
Because you get through everything
When I would have given up

I wish I could show you more
That I love you, that I am loyal to you
Instead of just saying it
Because you deserve more

I wish you would be there tonight
That I could fall asleep in your arms
And kiss all the bad thoughts away
Without the fear of loosing you

fragile void
AndSoOn Dec 2019
breaking us up left a void
so large, so deep, yet so fragile


that an apology from you
would still fill it up
Forever me

Yet I Had To
AndSoOn Sep 2019
I promised you I would stay
I promised you I would never leave you ...

And yet I did.

I said I would love you forever
I said I would accept you despite everything

And I do.

You showed me love like no one before
You showed me control like no one before

And so I left.

I was not enough, I would never be enough
But I love you enough ... And it was not enough.

And yet I don't love you any less ...
Forever yours

Comforting cold
AndSoOn Nov 2018
Cold adds a comforting note to tonight
It wraps around my body, taking it all in
In my basement bedroom, where I've just lost a fight
Far away from home, when I just realised where it's been

I promised, to her, to him, I would be alright
I thought I left in time, strong enough to take care of my life
Yet, I still watch the raindrops dance with the wind and city lights
And music can't cover those noises; my heart being stabbed by a knife

You used strong words that woke my poetry up, I should thank you
I packed my life and left home, twice, this past summer...
All of it for you to keep me thinking about coming back and queue
And you've known all along: for you, I'd be stupid enough to fight the other

Read me, please
AndSoOn Nov 2018
I hope you read me someday, if ever you do
Because I made a lot of mistakes

Like an infant learning to walk
I tripped and scratched my knees multiple times

And at least you'd understand that I am clueless

The world has been a scary place
And I hoped to protect you from its demons

I failed, ... and I am sorry
And proud

We survived
I may not be the only one to blame, but I'll carry it anyway.

— The End —
