My first love
Angie Sea Dec 2011
My first love made me feel like the first snow
An old story but a new episode
So cold but so beautiful

Maybe so
Angie Sea Dec 2016
Maybe I was only meant to
mend a part of your past
and not stay for your future

Why do you hesitate
Is it fear or disinterest
You're drawing circles around my clarity.

Maybe you were only meant to
reignite the poetry in me
and leave me in pieces still

Maybe we were only meant to
be all that we are
nothing more.

Maybe it's what I really needed
a lesson on slowing down
on patience

Maybe you were only meant to
bring me sweet moments
hopeful little reminders

Because you've made no move
and I've got no guesses
on what you're feeling

Maybe the truths I'm feeling here
are not the same for you
I can only speak for myself.

circles
Angie Sea Dec 2011
you need someone to love
               you need to love someone

as I do
how easy I become
how flawless you are
how jealous we become
of each other's other worlds
until it closes in on us
and I love you so much
I love you so much

our heads tilt the same way
fingertips touch the same way
kiss the same
fear love pain
fear love pain
how naked this all has made me
shredded and stripped
torn down to nothing
I was stuck in a constant state
insomnia
you were like
a resurrecting whirlwind
and I want you to stay
I want you to stay

we'll have our midnight picnics
talks by the lake
while the oceans
and storms beyond
elude us
as our feet swing
we make our ripples
and they go on and on
and on
                           and on

denial
Angie Sea Dec 2011
The truth I've been denying is
I'm addicted to the nakedness
of his skin , his words
his breath trailing through all of me
telling me the pieces of his heart
he wants me to keep .

smile easy
Angie Sea Aug 2012
it's so easy
to smile
when you've found yourself
too tired
to object
knowing this'll be over soon
and you'll be yourself again
with your own voice
and truly
okay

Curtain
Angie Sea Jan 2017
Have you trapped yourself
trying to articulate
gray
Alors Beckett
I don't always comprehend
but my eyes weep
all the same
you bicker banter
circling squares
so much nonsensical purpose
so so naturally
I'm scared to ponder for
too long it's been
too much of too little
(Pause.)
Are we all beggars
of stories
blind to all
but bind to time
seeking sunshine
Are we but a topple
away from the beginning
or endings
Humor me
(Pause.)
Did you keep coming back
leave once twice
five times in all
to spin me away
with two windows
with lights I couldn't place
with falling and entrances
and sheets of cloth
not music
not white
(Pause.)
I am laughing
at the sadness
not blind yet
Do I sit or stand
or kneel
to rejoice
Take your tools
and not quite fools
but keep me awake
I'm in an all too familiar
not quite empty
I've made no impositions
on this all too much family
(Pause.)
How did I get woven
into this game
This isn't mine
no more
my pain is killing
living
still
Listen to me
so so cuckoo
Hear me here
Me to say
Humor me
Sprout
unending
Me to say
There is no more
me
to stay
(Exit Samuel.)
First piece of 2017 :)

dirty little secret
Angie Sea Nov 2011
I can not hate the woman you love now
Only jealousy invades me
A monster it is
My hands are emptied by it
My head taken over
Making me ache for you
To see what is real
To see what she really is
When you are not there

I watch her run her hands up his leg
It's not your leg , I ache
The way he laughs and touches her
Not quite the way you do
I am not the one to say
Whether anyone else is good enough for you
Because really am I , I guess I was not
But I know I could not be where she is right now

                                      *But everything is irrelevant
                                         You are the exception
                                             And all I want to express to you
                                                When you're not here
                                                    
                                                                ­                 This is not me

Something with a rhyme
Angie Sea Nov 2011
Let the people of your past cross your mind
You still remember , that's a sign
You've kept their mark , they've been worth your time
Give them a moment , let your steps rewind .

You Have
Angie Sea Dec 2016
You've taken my mind
and left me unable
to think a thought
not about you.

Always then
Angie Sea Nov 2011
I haven't moved
Instead of letting me become the part of you
I became a choice you didn’t choose
You fear becoming abandoned
So you learned to abandon first
People come and go
Still I won’t leave
I know promises don't mean much
So I'll stay to show I'm right here for you

Trifle
Angie Sea Oct 2017
You've been holding on for more than two years
and I can't fight with that kind of memory
All the time you've had to romanticize a lost
and hit replay on the moments
I have my own nostalgia and what if questions too
But I tucked them away when we became
so I wouldn't be afflicting on you this torment

So I don't need to replace her
And I'm not naive enough to think I can
But I can only be a part of an us
That I don't have to compete for
Because I'm me and you say you've made your choice
But the most unkind thing you can do
Is compare me to a memory.

Minority Report
Angie Sea Nov 2017
I wonder what it's like to know that two and a half years later, you're still the center of his heart. I wish I could have that space, to finally take that place. Because despite his reassurances of being mine, you're still the one he chooses everytime. I've come to despise the month of May, for those are with you, his best of days. He mocks me with your presence, disrespecting the time we share in the present. There's a child in me that wants to beg, but here I lay in my sorrow instead. Wanting for him to let go of his dime, to finally wield his actions kind. I wonder why he chose me, to stain with such a jealousy. Your beauty is on his pedastal, a treasure I can never be. I hope one day he'll end his jest, of making me known that I am less. But I'm shown your memory I'll always have to contend, so someday he'll reveal it's all until then. I hope it won't be too late, when there's no more anguish left to wait.

White Flowers
Angie Sea Jun 2021
taken not lost
for death for life
white flowers
blossomed from the land
damp with rain
and morning dew
not to bear fruit
only to bring light
then wilt
an eternal flutter
into color

Gentle
Angie Sea Nov 2018
I miss the way things used to be gentle
when fornication was sweet
and you felt why it would be called making love
When did it become just a primal thing you did
with people who couldn't say they love you
I can't say there's no passion
but I want to be more than a receptacle
for someone's leftover cathartics.
What happened to our slow dances
and all the joy of teasing through shy glances
How did we get right to being *******
and the company of toys and afterthoughts
I thought you knew I only wanted you
without the adornments and games
there's a world of things we haven't done yet
with our bodies you've yet to whisper my name
But now there's no healing to this ***
and I miss the way things used to be gentle.

— The End —
