Unseen

I can see myself in the reflection from your eyes.
I hate that you smoke cigarettes
And yet I find myself inhaling what rolls off your lips
Just to have more of you as a part of me.

It’s like you’re my mirror,
Except I never find you staring back at me.
You don’t reciprocate.

I love you more than you’ll ever know.
This is especially so because you don’t even know me.
To you, I’m just background noise
While you’re a booming amp blasting out bass.

As you can tell, I was pretty into cultural references.

dictionary of what i cannot stand

i want to scrub my skin so hard that
every single cell you've ever touched of me comes off
erase your number and all our pictures
unfriend you and never see your face
you had a place in my heart
and i would have broken every single bone in my body
just to fix every single piece of you

my throat is raw and hoarse whenever i say your name
you're like salt water that makes me gag
trigger my senses and i cannot stand you
i hate your face and all that you stand for
i deserved better and i loved you with all my heart
you knew that and you took advantage

i hate you so much
you took all the love in my heart
i opened up and you made yourself
the ink in my unwritten book

you are the definition of all that i cannot stand
and i want to thank you for teaching me that
i deserve better than how low you put me

I feel everything and a little more
I feel so much for you that it's has become sore
I feel the blink of your eyes
I feel pounding of your lips
I feel the movement of your hands

I feel the waves of gradient brown in your eyes

I am still less than I should be
less than I think I am

Water

Creep

Water

I'm scared you're going to slip away
Like water through the cracks of my façade
As I cling to you desperately, irrelevently.
I need you to live,
But as we slowly forget that each other matter,
Too preoccupied with what's in our lives and minds,
Maybe it will be too late.
All the water will be gone.
And I will look back and regret,
Thirsty for something I had.

Terrified that the lack of constant contact will make us crumble. I selfishly miss you and that's the truth. I know I shouldn't bother you, that you have more important matters in your mind to deal with right now, but I miss you. And I'm too much of a coward to tell you that with all the meaning those words should have.

butterflies

she curls her hair she paints her toes
she laughs out loud he'll never know
she smiles just a little and laughs too much
dragged down by everything that has to do with love
she hides her face she closes her eyes
and if he asked she'd have to lie
she lays down and falls asleep
knowing she'll meet him in her dreams
then see him tomorrow for real this time
maybe that will give her butterflies

Your Words

Your Words

Sometimes I write words that I think are perfect and mighty

but when I read your words ,they ******* me ,they make me feel like a nonsense trying to make sense

They make me Wonder, why should i call me a poet
With words that don't rhyme
or flow

But again I believe that this words are perfect and mighty
they gave me hope
I found peace whenever I wrote them
I floated like a feather and forgot my permanent scars
with these words am a Knight and a hero

what are you with your words

why is it that
we can recite the whole periodic table,
but when asked to write down
a list of what we like about ourselves,
the paper remains blank?

Words...

Words...

Life is filled with pain,
anger and sorrow.
I need a knife to borrow.
Let it flow against my skin easily,
as it goes deeper and deeper.

Soon I'll be with the reaper.
Tears fall fastly,
Thinking I'm worthless to be here.
All of my frights becomes my fears.

The words flowing through my head so fast,
you ***** **** *****.
Tearing my heart apart and throwing it on the floor.
So I cut deeper and deeper hitting the vain.

Again and again in the same spots,
leaving blood clots.
Don't judge about what I do,
judge me for who I am today.

Even if I'm not okay.
My hands, arms and legs filled with scars.
Each and every one I deserve on me,
because people tell me this all day constantly.

I hate when I believe that every word they say is true,
it hurts.
Wait until it happens to you.
Words hurt
Think before you speak
