True loneliness
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
What leaves me more sorrowful than adder's venom
is the way you tell me you love me
when no ones around
The way you appreciate me
when no ones around.
That You could say the same to a fly
when no ones around

Woof
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Consider me trained
emotion is my game
consider me house broken
my fair number of hearts broken
I'm young
teach me a trick

Duel

In space it"s nothing
A few shots this way

The real difference between me and you?
is time

My love
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Your eyes so gossamer I'm already entranced
Your skin so smooth no stone smoother could I rest hands upon
I know not where you are or where you stand But I know this
That someday you will Be found

My cat
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
You tease me when I want you
You ask for more when I deny you
The feeling that you have your own agenda
is all the more reason I adore you

Lotus
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
We must use words in the same tone we handle weapons
hoping never to hurt the wrong person
To protect those we love
To entertain friends
To master its blade is impossible
Thats not true though
No ones took the time to.

Wait it's 11
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Any plans at 12?
Whats it matter?
Why stop now
The passing of time
The commencement of now
whats the matter
lets just give it an hour
And same with our worries
Any plans at 1?
I thought so

Not actually sorry
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
I'd dare not say it
I mustn't I wont
That stars cant shine brighter
I said it, sorry i jest.

I can't show you the way it is that makes me love you
the way you smile
the way you giggle
I can't describe it
It all makes sense when I'm with you

To the guy next to me
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Our words are our own
Our words can be sown
But learn to live and sow seeds lightly
For life is yours to reap
After you learn

Your opinion
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
In thought when I write
I didn't ask for your opinion
but wouldn't mind if it was given now and then

Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Whos body is tattered but shows no interest  in falling apart
Whos mind is troubled but shows no interest in being troubled
Whos soul calls out to the adventurer in all of us

Apple
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
We debate and argue its meaning
Its ability absolute
Its hold without stain
It could have chosen differently
It could have given but today it took
Just give it up
Theres no point debating time and its meaning

Humility
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Without you who am I
A king
A God
I find myself without er
I could kiss the heavens and laugh
But none of that would be as great
to think
I'm happy with who I am,
A peasant
My weary head on your lap
Thank you

Trouble Makers
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
I dare not dance when caution is afoot
I dare not play when mothers stern
I should heed her words
She made her word law, we all heard well

*Pass's Out*
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Poems used to be about the blood spilled
to etch words of heroes of old
The victories made in defeats face
When the dawn was after its darkest
But as time went on
I couldn't remember the things I wrote
But I never let go of the pen knowing
What it was for
May 2015 · 177
You
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
You
I cant ask for more of you, but loath the word less
I cant ask to see more of you,  I loath the idea of being void of you
I could always use more of you
Today I ask though,with no reason
Am I too much for you?
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
you can debate me
try as hard as you want
but only I can sway me
A war of words may not be what you intended
it soon might be what you have

What do I do?
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
We don't know what we're doing
it wasn't me
hands full of gems
eyes full of lust
we didn't know what we we're doing
please help us
eyes full of tears
theres no one to trust
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
it is absolute
absolutely nothing
then the blossom of life
May 2015 · 301
Give it some thought
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
or not, I could care less if this went on
just give me the liberty of whats next
before I go on

What's left to do.
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
Just give it time, that's all we ask
Whats it matter, just give it a moment more
or a moment less whats left to do when insanity is on the other line

The Declaration of Life
Courtlyn Quay May 2015
The Declaration of life is so:
The ability to introduce stimuli into your life so choose wisely
but not to soon
judge sparingly
but be ready when the  shadow of regret blooms

one heart broken
two blood shot eyes
a cup of humility
a dash of kindness
and let it sit for a week
this is the recipe for new beginnings
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
Don't stress it. try your hardest, or your very best.
Actually just do it, or don't.
Nothing makes the perfect human being.
Try to be kind, to others always pay mind
Never make a promise you cant keep
Don't look at others with vision so steep
Don't do a lot of things
Do a lot of things.
Just be the best person you can be

Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
To dine on a mortal soul calls no attention to flavor
For they are bland and call forth no attention or fervor
You will always have enough of these tasteless specimens
But to taste a soul so shrouded in sadness and regret
Now that is a soul of good taste.
Would you look at that.
It seems america has so many of those
So many tasty souls

Don't say always
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
don't say you'll always be there
don't say you'll always love me
Maybe i'm being crass but i'm sure
change is inevitable it's what is pure
You will sometime lack the means to save me
You will sometime change heart and flee me
I know the words you say are true and what you mean
There is nothing more lucid then when we change each scene
I know it to be true, inevitable even that at some point
we will part

People
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
lightning blazes its trails in the sky
I wonder where its going.
so soon so fast.
I wonder when you'll get there.
knocking down trees in your path.
I guess you're a lot like us

People blazing a trail on this earth.
I wonder where we'll go
so soon so fast
I wonder when we'll get there.
Knocking down challenges in our path
I guess you're not much like us

Watch your Watch
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
Once upon a time, time began once, once man decided to keep track upon the sun, then man found time to keep time on his wrist. once this time came man began to see farther into time to a time in the distance called the future. But man looked forward in time and forgot about the trees and animals that were there once upon a time before it was mans time. Since forgetting that time and this one now called the present things went wrong. Everything that was not man or made by man like time continues to exist. But there were creatures a forest that covered the land and oceans where the sand is now. We had a beautiful earth, once upon a time

Somewhere Among the Stars
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
lost among the stars the planets play a symphony of otherworldly proportions.

A dying star plays the final chord of its solo so that someone somewhere would hear the plea to be something big.

And a percussion band of asteroids sounds the trumpets of gods as they clash heads  

As though there is one conductor that created this magnificent piece

As though there was one thing bringing this all together

I wish to thank you as I sit and watch the stars tonight

Understand
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
We did not go softly into the night
From our homes our voices screamed
From our windows our hearts bled
From our room our bones broke
Our solace was never given to us in the form of a parent
Our solace was taken away when they broke the lock on our doors
When we find no where to run but the edge of the blade
"Life is hard or life isn't fair," yea that's what you say
But I say it's the people, the people who make it this way
Can you close your eyes and shut your ears but open your heart?
Don't feel sorry, feel compassion and join the fight
Because that's all we want
A friend
Ya know?
that'd be tight.
This is something i think people overlook.  Whenever we see someone with self harm marks we mark them off as emo or a depressive person. I'd rather people take the time to get to know someone and find out what they can do to help. It doesn't hurt to be someones friend

Even Angels Need to Sleep
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
Angels flock to clouds so soft
keeping watch upon your soul
there they sit in the skies aloft
living life your only goal.
can you see what is in front of you?
Those eyes of yours so crystal blue.
an angel watches over you for endless time.
its music playing from a windless chime.
but as you know.
Even angels need to sleep.
So don’t worry.
so take that entrancing leap
eyes go blurry
now angel, you too can fall asleep.

Final Day of Strife
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
This final day I write you.
My tragedy only to be statistic.
My thoughts malicious and sadistic.
I crave its emptiness more and more.

When strife matches love, as anger matches passion.
I sleep through  my painful recollections
before I take on water as cold as the reflection in the mirror.
Conscious but still dreaming.
Analyzing my dreaming
Understanding but not telling
Only for the sick pleasure of knowing.

Its time to wake up
Time to live my dreams
In a sick twist of fate
I cast aside feeling

Gemini

Rip me in two
Make me Gemini
Throw me to the stars
Watch my light shine down
Let me lift you up
You are my star
You guide my way tonight

Gambit
Courtlyn Quay Jul 2014
There's a gambit in every step you take
A cuff that came off when you raised the stake
What you left undefined
Your emotions unrefined
A step in the opposite direction leaves you friendless, powerless, and afraid
But you know your responsibilities, your job, you know what you do
You know that the only thing to change is you

— The End —
