Imaginary City
Sabrina May 2015
I want to live in an imaginary city
In this place there would be no pity

I'd never ever have to worry
And I'd never have to hurry

I'd have enough time
to figure out what's on my mind

All would be great
there would never be hate

In this imaginary city

Underwater

Underwater
engulfed by waves
of emotion

I'm underwater
trying to swim up

I'm underwater
hope is washing away
I gasp for breath

I'm underwater

Describing the Indescribable
Sabrina May 2015
You know how you get that indescribable feeling when you read a really good book?

It is like you've jumped from your world to the world that the characters live in.

Except now there's one small difference.

This time the book is reality.

And you are the main character.

you wouldn't need a second chance
  if you had treated me right the first time
kick em to the curb ladies
Sabrina Jul 2015
I look so deeply into your eyes
but what I find comes as a surprise
misery and a profound pain
so much sadness, it's such a shame
you seem to be a broken girl
you feel so lonely in this world
mistakes are all you ever do
get out of here, I don't need you
it's only then when I realize
I am looking into my own eyes.

The Moon is my Bestfriend
Sabrina Jun 2015
There was a perfect hole in the sky
Shaped just for the moon to say hi

It rested up there on this night
Watching over us, erasing fright

Its bright gleams shine down below
Showing you the right path to go

You look up and say thank you
Oh Moon, without you, what would I do

Love's Most Dangerous Thief
Sabrina Mar 2015
I sit here
and think of you
if I were near
what would we do

    Laugh a bit
     push and shove
      throw a fit
       then make up

           I watched you leave
              and gave a smile
                 I could breathe
                   just for a while

                       I'd see you soon
                          but till that day
                             I would swoon
                               I wish you'd stay

                                                        But­ you must leave
                                                           ­    for now I know
                                                            ­            you are a thief
                                                           ­                     a secret foe
  
                                                          ­                   You stole my heart
                                                           ­               within a second
                                                          ­             we must part
                                                               I've learnt my lesson

                                                  If I let myself love you
                                      I fear I won't be strong
                                you're in my mind, stuck like glue
                       our love cannot prolong
Just a silly poem written about a silly boy.
Sabrina Apr 2016
I haven't seen you in 6 years
You've seldom entered my thoughts
I have not shed many tears
I'm not the one who fought

To be fair, neither did you
Not that you thought of me
Perhaps just once out of the blue
That's just the way it will be

You reached out to my to brother
And didn't talk to me
You just preferred the other
It's me you don't want to see

Oh well, that's the way things go
there's nothing I can do
I will just take it slow
And try to forget about you.

Life Inside an Aquarium
Sabrina May 2015
Please help, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in here
I'll be stuck forever, that is my fear
Just give me your hand and let me out
I'll be good, I promise not to shout
I'll be out of your hair, you don't have to worry
Please let me out, I'm in a hurry
I need to escape, I need to go
he's coming, he's coming, my biggest foe
he'll keep me here as long as he can
I have to go, the others all ran
I am the only one left behind
I must leave or I'll lose my mind
I'll expose this place for all it is
A little prison he's proud to call his
Please help, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in here
I'll be stuck forever, that is my fear.
A little something I thought up around 2 am last night.

My Favorite Sin
Sabrina Dec 2014
Attracted to you like a flame to a wick
Unknowingly mesmerized by your incandescence
Your impeccable beauty made me sick
But your attention like personal antidepressants



I felt to special when you looked at me that way
Completely blinded by all your flirting
You made it seem like you were gonna stay
Now that thought is disconcerting



You blew me away like smoke from a candle
Acted as if I hadn't mattered
You said I was too much to handle
And now it's my heart that lay shattered



You knew the connection was there
However ephemeral our love may have been
You freaked out, left, and that wasn't fair
But by far you'll always be my favorite sin

Constant
Sabrina May 2015
Time is limitless and infinite
It is we who determine its boundaries- when it's too early or too late
Time is a constant

Will you be my constant?

You Dared
Sabrina May 2015
How dare you.
How dare you steal my heart.
How dare you steal my sleep.
How dare you invade my dreams.
How dare your cloud my thoughts.
How dare you let me fall in love with you.
I am NOT in love.

I am a sinking ship
I've hit the iceberg
not just the tip
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
I'm crashing down
I've lost my grip
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
All hope is lost
there it slips
I am a sinking ship

I am a sinking ship
we've reached the end
of our trip
I am a sinking ship

The Feeling
Sabrina May 2015
Sometimes I get this feeling.
This feeling does not really have a name.
It is in the middle of my chest.
It is like my emotions are a rope.
The rope is strangling my heart.
It feels like it is about to explode
but it never does
It constricts my breathing and slows my thoughts
It almost hurts
Whenever I think of you
this feeling follows
All I want is for this feeling to go away
but at the same time
I need it
It reminds me I am alive.
This isn't really a poem, but more of an insight to the crazy thoughts I get at night.

Midnight
Sabrina Nov 2014
Faint silhouettes beckon you closer
silently whispering your name

Your unwavering feet bring you further
engulfing you in ominous shadows

The air dense with movement
yet all else seems utterly still

Malicious laughter slithers around you
questioning your deadly steps

You turn to run
yet find no escape

You try to yell
yet find no voice

You go to live
yet find no life

Arsenic Love
Sabrina Nov 2014
Sleepless nights
and tender touches
truly provide unique perspective
for all to come
and all that's gone

                                   Broken pencils
                                   and crumbled papers
                                   are merely a lead
                                   for dried up tears
                                   and ****** knees

Mistake or blessing
a hidden disguise
a rush of heat
a secret demise

                                 For all that is given
                                 a fracture of the heart
                                 that is the price
                                 if we must part

Fear the Water
Sabrina Apr 2017
Lost in confusion
waiting for the answers to come to my head
listening to my peers' discussions
oh, it is simple; easy they said

I think I'm drowning
trying to come up for air
this fear of the water
I can no longer bear.

Dear imaginary boyfriend,
Sabrina May 2015
People believe in love at first sight
but when I met you, you just seemed alright
When I first saw you, I didn't think much
but you stole my heart after the first touch
I haven't even know you for a very long time
but that doesn't change the fact that you're always on my mind
I do not know what I would do
if I did not have you
Thank you for always being here
you make me feel like you really care.

Love,
Sabrina
To the perfect boyfriend who I have not found yet.

The Calm Before the Storm
Sabrina Nov 2014
I walk outside and the harsh winds greet me
The combustible clouds are eager to meet me
Tears trickle gently from the sky
Pleading with silent cries
The leaves fall from the trees
Swaying and swooshing like the seas
The sky starts to yellow
Oh, how I am a silly fellow
For this is the calm before the storm
Sabrina May 2015
There are just certain things that make life a little easier living. These things are listed below:

-The smell of pavement after rain
-The feeling of cool grass under bare feet
-Forehead kisses
-Watching the moon
-When your pet willingly loves you
-Daydreaming about something better
-Poetry
These are some of my favorite things
Sabrina Mar 2015
My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are the really shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either lethargy of a custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect- simply a confession of failure.

Winter Fire

I'm living in this dreamland
and you're living there too
I'm dreaming about us
and I'm dreaming about you

We're thousands and thousands
of miles apart
but every day
you're there in my heart

Every night
you're there in my head
keeping me up
awake in my bed

I'm reliving all our memories
and imagining some more
everyday I find more love
and into my heart it pours.
Finally.

Forest Frenzy

As I walk through the forest

It is almost as if it smiles
   It offers wondrous adventure for miles

     There are flecks of life all around
         Birds chirp and leaves fall down

            The forest remains vast and unexplored
               Only waiting for you to come forward

Tick Tock
says the clock
Falls the rain
of her pain

Soaked in red
All upon her bed
Trickling onto the floor
Mercilessly spreading the gore

Written with a pen
and sealed with a kiss
oh, look, here's a plot twist

The pen is a razor
and the canvas is her wrist
Her eyes start to close
as she fades into the mist
my least favorite poem of mine
Sabrina May 2015
There once was a story
about the sun and the moon
They loved each other more than the Earth itself-literally
However, as hard as they tried, they couldn't  be together
At first, they tried to find loopholes
They experimented with eclipses, dusk, dawn, and even more things
One day the sun and the moon had to accept the fact
They could never be with each other
That is why once a month we do not see the moon
During that brief period, the moon cries
for the love he knew he could never have.

Mountain Whispers
Sabrina Nov 2014
The sinuous road adorned by sunlight
Twisting on forevermore
Intuitive signs interspersed
Called upon by nature's glory
Wooden arches crisp with Autumn
Casting shady protection from all beyond
The air light and teasing
Drawing curiosity without haste
and with a bump all is given
Rewarded with a glistening Eden
To my dismay it's not forever
All the life fading away
To be replaced with roaring metal
and endless mounds of concrete grey
But this is not the end you seek
Yet a promised adventure for another day

Quake
Sabrina May 2015
As the earth starts quaking
the trees start shaking
Leaves tremble down in the harsh breeze
How terrifying is the merciless ease
The house is coming down with a smack
All the windows begin to crack
Animals run about in a scurry
The humans follow out in a hurry
Your shallow thoughts reach for all that's inside
Your tremulous feet move forward leaving behind all pride
A loved one grabs you and holds you down
They say take notice of what's around
The registration of the scene racks your brain
bringing about a searing pain
You fall to your knees
Broken, you plead
Your entire body is filled with ache
And suddenly, your dreams ends and you're awake.
Taking a spin with my childhood rhymes.

If Only It Were A Dream
Sabrina Apr 2016
You show up unexpected
a pleasant surprise

How overjoyed I am
to be reunited with you

You'll only stay a little while
but I am so grateful for the time I get

The days pass on quickly
things almost feel like they used to

Before we grew up
and carved our own paths

But then you must leave again
You wake me up to say goodbye

I give a bleary farewell
it feels more like a dream

I love you, I say
You reply, "I love you too. A lot."

You close the door
I fall back asleep

I wake up and
creep into the hallway

I look for you
in the den where you should be

But you are gone
and the house lays silent.

We build them up
and tear them down
we are ruthless sharks
swimming around

Attacking in the halls of high school
preying on the young and weak
by neglect or by ignoring
all the kids too afraid to speak

We're in this together
why make it so hard
I guess not all of us
can go very far.

The light beams through the shades
I roll away from the brightness
And smile as I see your sleeping face
How pure and innocent you appear
Like an angel sent to make me forget
All the negativity in the universe
I see the rising and falling of your bare chest
I feel the life pulsing through you as I caress your arm
You moan so lightly I cannot be sure you ever made a sound
Your eyes slowly open and a golden smile spreads across your face
You are here
In this moment
With me
That is all that will ever matter.

Word Shaker
Sabrina Jul 2016
C'est la belle vie
the words escape quietly from my lips
they float silently to the floor and settle there
the words are so quiet, so small
I can't be sure they ever really left my mouth
But there they are, sitting comfortably on the floor
They look up at me from below, questioning them self
I think about repeating them, maybe to reaffirm their meaning
but the sounds don't quite make it past my tongue
So I sit there in silence
with some fallen words
laying on the floor.
Sabrina Mar 2015
A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look.

We started talking
It was no big deal
It probably wouldn't last
But then I began to feel
This warmth inside my chest
And cheek to cheek grins
I couldn't wait to discover the rest
And continue these pleasurable sins
It was all wrong
and definitely risky
But I was strong
And a little frisky
I would give us a chance
And see where it went
You had me in a trance
And I couldn't relent
This is going really well
and I'm hoping for the best
You have me in your spell
It's so much better than I would've guessed.
An optimistic poem affection poem.

for you to blame
you said it's because
we do not talk
but you know

It's vacation time
and my phone won't work
you said you understood
don't be a ****

I'm not going to sit there

this is just a
waste of my time
I am alone

Fred, the lonely ghost
Sabrina May 2015
There is a ghost who lives under my bed
this ghost has a name, his name is Fred
Late in the evening, I'll hear him cry
so I will get up and ask him why
Sometimes he will not say
but until he does, I will stay
He says he's lonely and needs a friend
he had nobody at the end
I tell him I'll be there whenever he needs
I would never go back on one of my creeds
You never have to be alone
You are always welcome in my home

together, in that moment
And I knew, as I stared into his deep green eyes,
that he was the only for me.
