time
ghost Dec 2020
time just won't stay
I guess it's bored
all it sees is greed and pointless drama
I'll make it fall in love with me
but I ended falling in love with it
so one-sided
it moved on
and I'm stuck
tick-tock
times up

beyond
ghost Nov 2020
this world is not made of
only what you see

ghost Nov 2020
"How are you?"
i'm good

                                    if you to ask me the question
I'll  just say
                  I'M
                           FINE

life
ghost Nov 2020
the sunsets
the moon rises
the clouds keep moving
the stars keep shining
the world keeps going on
people keep dying
people are born
someone smiles
someone cries
it all happens
and there's nothing you can do about it

a dare
ghost Dec 2020
they said he'd be there
when I looked he was nowhere
I thought it was unfair
turns out it was all a dare
you played me, my dear
while I was true all along
37 · Oct 2020
alone
ghost Oct 2020
he kissed her goodbye and closed his eyes
his face with a painful smile
his hands so cold
and his face so pale
left his daughter alone
the world so cruel
the girl so alone
37 · Nov 2020
arms
ghost Nov 2020
when you have nowhere left to go
come to me
I'll hold you in my arms
and let you cry out loud
I'll do it for you
but there was no one to do it for me

ghost Dec 2020
I don't know how to say this
I cut myself for the first time
it's addicting
I want to stop
but it's fun
I
really
enjoy
it

its four am
I'm drinking coffee
I'm writing stories
writing poetry
being productive
but
its no fun
there's just pain
and pain
and misery

fear
ghost Dec 2020
First rumble of dark thunderheads
were heard in the dark western sky
children were roused out of their beds
little Johnny started to cry
loudly screamed he didn't want to die
tightly clung to older brother
who said all was okay, a lie
as Johnny fled to his mother
8 syllables per line, ababbcbc rhyme scheme
37 · Nov 2020
Show me
ghost Nov 2020
show me you love me
Don’t just say it
Carve it down on trees
Words that’ll last for centuries
Write as you see fit

Show me you love me
Scream it to the world
In words twisted and curled
come at them like storm
Our love
Will be the show we perform

big city
ghost Nov 2020
the sounds of the cars
in this big city
my ears tingling
a cup of coffee
as I write another review
time is slowly passing
my life is slowly fading
eyes are slowly shutting
and no one notices
why would they?
I'm just another person in the crowd

the stone wolf
ghost Jan 2021
You made me approach
And then you disappear
I let my guard down
"You have taken advantage of it.

You made my mind, a maze.
And I lost myself.
I didn't ask for your help,
I could not...

I followed you like a gullible
In the hidden game of the world,
Waiting for the impossible.

Each time, coming up,
But moving me away.
With every step, it was done
In despair...

Making me
                      hate you,
To hate
            To hear your voice,
To hate
                To love you.

he didn't want this
even when the world

I want the heart to not be

after life
ghost Nov 2020
why would you come back to life
when you can rest in peace

if you decided to die
then please just lie
down in your grave

the afterlife
is unnecessary

smile
ghost Oct 2020
I was shot to death
laughed to death
I cried to death
but I came back for you every time
to make sure you don't go through the same
I just wanna see you smile
so smile for me
35 · Dec 2020

I want to embrace the Affection of this WORLD
I want it all for MYSELF
not too be SHARED

unique
ghost Dec 2020
I'm alone
I'm no different than
a star in the galaxy
so unique
yet people can't even
tell us apart
were all unique but it's annoying how we all just look so what do they call it "ordinary".
33 · Dec 2020
free
ghost Dec 2020
I used to think the world was made for me
I felt so free
now I'm bound by the chains
nothing but my bones remain
as a sign that I once existed
maybe my poetry
but no one bothered reading it
33 · Dec 2020
love story
ghost Dec 2020
you've never deeply fallen for someone,
have you?
sweet and happy romances are
easily forgotten
only love stories
with blood and tragedy are remembered
33 · Dec 2020
saints
ghost Dec 2020
Your revelations don't look nothing like the pictures
You read between the lines and don't stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if others follow with you
That doesn't sound so holy only playing victim
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn't keep you
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're fooling Heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
33 · Dec 2020
somebody loves you
ghost Dec 2020
one of the hardest feelings
in the world
for me
used to be
the one that
reminds you how
nobody loves you
which I now believe
to be grossly untrue for,
there'll always be
somebody who
dares to love you
in silence,
from afar
33 · Nov 2020
you
ghost Nov 2020
you
I don't want to live
but I don't want to die either
so you ask
what do I want
it's simple
I want you
32 · Dec 2020
battle
ghost Dec 2020
we built walls
only to see them
crumble and fall
we won battles
only to lose what can not be returned
for eternity
32 · Nov 2020
i hate
ghost Nov 2020
I hate that I love you
I hate that when you show up my heartbeats faster
I hate that I can't get over you
I hate you
I hate that you don't return my feelings
I hate this life
I hate me
for living in a fantasy
I love you
for bringing me back to reality
32 · Dec 2020
nothing
ghost Dec 2020
things are getting better
but everything still feels a Lil blur
like I'm not "living"
but drifting by
just drifting
being on "autopilot"
going with the flow of things
yet it also feels like
I'm waiting in line
constantly waiting in a never-ending line
for absolutely nothing
32 · Oct 2020
silence
ghost Oct 2020
on the battlefield
the silence
tortures me
the screams on my blade
a faithful friend
by my side
yet he doesn't make a sound
so silent
yet I can hear him say "run"
live for me and you
32 · Nov 2020
silence
ghost Nov 2020
silence

all it takes
ghost Nov 2020
one word
and you can destroy me
but with just a word
you can fix me
so choose

with one lie
you can break me
but with one lie
you can build me

with one truth
you can bring me to my feet
with one truth
you make me rise to the stars

all it takes is a word
a lie
and the truth
31 · Dec 2020
unexpected
ghost Dec 2020
I didn't expect you to care
but you did
that felt good
I was like a flower withering
you came and watered me
fixed my soil
and showed me the sun

True love
ghost Nov 2020
What is it to
Truly love
It is to fall in love with their soul
Before touching their skin
31 · Dec 2020

ghost Dec 2020
is it, love
or
is it torture
do you love me
or
are you playing me
cause I love you

fake
ghost Dec 2020
there was a puddle
on the floor
I could see myself
I
didn't know what I became
I seemed so lost
yet the people
around me didn't notice
my friend tugged my shoulder
said come on let's go
I realized
how fake they were

bored
ghost Nov 2020
You too
Must have felt it
When you had nothing to do
No where to go
And no one to talk to
You walked down the stairs
And had a romantic walk to that empty fridge
Waiting for a miracle
Yet the pizza
The cake, juice, wine, chocolate  
Never showed up

what do i want to be?
ghost Nov 2020
he asked her what her wish is
he'll fulfill it
she said just once
once in my life I want to walk out and not be laughed at
live and not wanna die
so, please
make me the way they  want me to be

he said
she wants you to be skinny
he wants you to be fat
so what do you want to be

undo
ghost Nov 2020
I can wait here silent
building up a storm inside my head
I just stood for nothing
so I fell for everything you said
hear my voice
I can wait here silent
gotta make a change
and make some noise
please  undo my sad
undo what hurts so bad
undo my pain
go together through  the rain

ghost Nov 2020
I have secrets
but no one worth sharing them with
they won't believe me anyway
just shrug me off
as if I was a fly
following them around
they all just get tired of me
after a few days

fire
ghost Dec 2020
we both were like fire
so I thought we could become one
but we were different
you were a fire
that would devour everything
while I was a fire
that lights the way
even when I'm most alone

War and peace
ghost Oct 2020
What’s the difference between
peace and war
Isn’t peace obtained through war
That’s what my world taught me
So change my mind
Before I wage war on your country too

Want - give
ghost Nov 2020
They don’t understand
What I want
I want more than I have
But I want what you can give
So why don’t you give
What you can
