Movie Moments in Real Life
wolflet Apr 2018
A hazy swingset
A pair of blue eyes
and a pair of brown eyes
both looking away
until one has the courage to speak
the words weren't important
but the look
that was given as a reply
said everything that words
couldn't explain in that moment
it was the look of someone falling in love

Movie Moments in Order
wolflet Apr 2018
Watching silently
Waiting patiently for you
To notice my tears

A hazy swingset
Blue eyes staring into mine
Saying I love you

The words I love you
Still echoing in my ears
A new scar forming

Old scars reopened
A hopeful second chance
A happily ever after

Simple but Complicated
wolflet Apr 2018
Sweaty palms
backing up slowly
eyes staring at me curious
questions ringing in my ears
simple answers with complicated explanations
half-truths to avoid saying what I mean
because to say what is in my head could ruin everything
but once
just once I said the whole truth
those eyes replied with a smile
and a simple answer
only containing three words
but with a very complicated explanation

A Thin Line
wolflet Mar 2018
There is a thin line between delusional and hopeful
Most people fall into the worse category

Being hopeful is what leads to being delusional
Delusional is what happens when someone holds onto hope for far too long

Hope is a tool used against one's self
Delusions are an escape from reality

Hope is a memory that keeps you moving forward
Delusions are what keep you stuck in a period of time

Hope is created by a glance across a room
Delusions are a whole created by yourself in which everything is filled with wonder

Hope is taken away easily in the worst kind of ways
Delusions almost never leave you and when they do it is after years of daydreams

I will let you choose which is worse

Decor
wolflet Mar 2018
I couldn't even look you in the eyes
you left without a goodbye
you were gone without warning
I woke up to an empty house that morning
And I am still in mourning
I miss your snoring
you left so many loose ends
with no way to make amends
the worst part of it all
is that you treated me like a doll
and when you didn't want to play with me anymore
you put me back on the shelf and ignored me like a piece of decor
I was the best piece of decor you even had
So I have stopped being sad
And started being grateful
because next time they won't leave without a goodbye
wolflet Mar 2018
Step one: wait for a down pour even if it seems like forever

Step two: find someone you love

Step three: let your hair down, there is no need for effort

Step four: music that the world should never get rid of

Step five: an outfit you would where anywhere no matter the time or place

Step six: an open heart

Step seven: leave behind the straight face

Step eight: your smile is a work of art

Step nine: a good reason

Step ten: or not

Step eleven: most importantly dance because it is freeing feeling

Step twelve: dance because it brightens everyone's eyes, even if you are a big shot

Finally dance because you can be there for the rainbow after the storm.

Where do my words go?
wolflet Mar 2018
The back of my throat
is where the words I always wanted to say but never could dwell

My mind
is where the words I never dared to share exponentionally increase

The back of my brain
is where I lock away the words I have deemed untouchable

The words lost
to the caverns and cages in me:

"I am sorry"

"I love you"

"I always have"

"I made a mistake"

"I was wrong"

"Don't trust me"

"Leave me alone"

"Is this what you meant by forever"

"You don't deserve anything you have"

"You are ignorant to the world around you"

"I don't know what I am doing"

"Help"

An Infinity
wolflet Mar 2018
Swirling stardust
converging at one concentrated point
blues, purples, reds
colors of every shade
infinite space
filled will infinite possibilities
undiscovered, uncharted
waiting...
waiting to be found
an infinity of stars
waiting in your eyes

I estaba enamorado
No se how
pero one dia, yo fell
yo fell para tu
I vi en your eyes
y vi the world
Yo saw el possibilities
I vi el infinity of stars
hidden en tu eyes
an infinity of stars
Soy now trapped in
I wrote it this way on purpose. If you can understand this then you understand the struggle.

Guilt
wolflet Mar 2018
Guilt eats away at our souls
and sometimes we eat away at guilt
though the bites it takes out of us
are always more significant then the bites we take out of it
guilt will devour you
before you have time to nibble away at it
guilt will engulf your soul
gnawing at it until there is nothing left but blackened coal
till you have no other choice
but to give in to your inner demons
because they fuel your guilt
and they never fade
and they can't be nibbled at
they remain forever
even after your soul is gone
your demons are everlasting

Revolving Doors
wolflet Mar 2018
Our lives are like revolving doors
In the way, people weave in and out of them
Sometimes they pass by quickly
Other times they stay for a while
No matter if we notice or not
These people affect us
They make us wonder
They make us question
And they make us change
In little ways or
In Monumental modifications
Over time we evolve as people
Because of the people who have walked into our lives
If it was a negative or positive effect
We owe who we are today
To those people of our past

My Wrath
wolflet Mar 2018
No one is safe from the words that escape our mouths
whether they are directed at you or not
they sting

Many those words were meant for the person saying them
they were some way of saying
I put up so many walls
that I can't even be nice to an innocent person

My wrath is not meant for you
even if it reaches you
it was meant for me

I am not even mad
Just lonely
in a spiral of building more walls
to hide from the world I avoid
to make it my fault that people don't like me

to give them a reason an a silver platter
so they don't poke around and tear me apart
to find the things I hide about myself

Remember my wrath
it is not meant for you
it is my way of pushing you away
because it is just easier

Words
wolflet Mar 2018
words used to communicate
words used between soulmates
weaponized words
with soulful meanings
twisted and altered
till they seem slaughtered
words used to fill growing space
to distract you from the lack of embrace
words used in life-changing conversations
that have been carved in your heart and brain
words that don't have to be said
so simple that they cannot be misread
words bring life to a dreary world
but words aren't always simple and easy to convey
sometimes you have to write around their meanings
hide them behind metaphors till they are almost deceiving
like life words are complicated
they are used in too many ways

Hell Hath no Fury

Hell hath no fury
Like a brilliant woman scorned

I'm in Love with a Ghost
wolflet Mar 2018
I’m in love…
I’m in love with him
I’m in love with the memories
with a daydream
with the boy who was
and the man he could be
with a swingset
and with a coincidence
with a day
with a fateful meeting
with long soulful talks
and with a forever
but…
I’m being suffocated
by the possibilities
by memories
by the mistakes
by what was
and what could have been
by a forever that will never be
by the hope of that forever
by the need to let go
because I have to let go
but…
I don’t want to
but I need to
to letting go...

Swing sets
wolflet Mar 2018
A coincidence...
No, a clandestine meeting...
No, not that one either,
an encounter laced with star-crossed cliques,
when a pair of blue eyes met a pair of brown eyes

— The End —
