Chesca R Oct 2014

(LET'S PLAY A GAME OF TAG.)
I'm It.
Chasing after you, chasing-- tag.
You're it.
Game over.
You ended our game,
When you never chased back.

Battles

Chesca R Oct 2014

Battles

I need to be the controller of the game.
I cannot let the game control me.
There are no restarts.
There are no second lives.
If love was the game we played,
I've already died.

He Doesn't Care

Chesca R Oct 2014

He Doesn't Care

As I spray on the last drop of cologne,
I wish the ounces of love in my heart--
The ounces still left and kept there for you,
Would disappear
As fast as my cologne ran out.
My cologne was saved up for special events.
And so I question
Why I'm still keeping you,
When I am your empty bottle anyway.

Dolls

Chesca R Jul 2015

Dolls

I didn’t want to mislead myself.
   Every boy that I have loved
   Thought it was okay to just
   Pick me up,
   Play with me,
And return me back on the shelf.

I no longer want to be their toy.
I tried to save myself from getting hurt
By another boy.

What Ifs

Chesca R Aug 2015

What Ifs

Would things had been different if you knew

How much I thought

And dreamt of you.

Would things had been different if I had said-

Our memories unfold;

They're on replay in my head.

Would things had been different if I confessed

That all my writings were made for you

Through hurt, through moments, through poeticness.

Maybe if I had, things would have been different-

Maybe it would no longer be you and she.

Maybe instead it would have been

You and me.

idek. old feelings. old thoughts. old me.

Darling, You are Out of Reach

Chesca R Jul 2015

Darling, You are Out of Reach

Distance wasn't across the room.
It was something
More than a mile.
Comparable to gaps
Of broken friendships,
Silences
Of ex lovers,
An almost
Kiss.
Sitting next to you.
And being universes apart.

Distance.
It was You and **I.

*attempts to rhyme but fails tremendously*

Perplexed

Chesca R Nov 2014

Perplexed

When did it-? Where did it-? How did it-?
I do not know (why the feeling came.)
All I know is that since then,
I have not been the same.

Rosy cheeks and bad hair cuts--
We were little kids; so young.
I did not think my feelings for you
Would last infinities long.

Your hands that held me with lies--
A fantasy fairy tale; all fake.
I did not think it would end like this.
Our "love" my biggest mistake.

I tried practicing my rhyme-y poems. Sorry if this was bad :(
I wrote this when I was bored in Math class.

Surprise

Chesca R Jan 2015

Surprise

I am not crying.
But it is raining outside.
And I thought maybe this is heaven's way of saving me from tears.
My sadness came in droplets sliding slowly off a glass window.
But I am sure as hell glad it did not hail down on me like a storm.

Have Faith

Chesca R Nov 2014

Have Faith

They slashed me up without bleeding me.
They hit me hard without a single touch.

Thoughts.

Don't they know what they're doing?
Don't they know that my mind is a place to ponder--
To think, not over-think?

I tried to run away, I tried to escape;
Only ending up back where I began to run,
Because they were my escape.

How amazing.
How unfair.
How thoughtless my thoughts tend to be.

me right now :(
