Day after day of constant messages,
We messaged one another till our fingers bled,
About anything in regards to our own lives,
But still never will enough ever be said,

Through it all,
She read me as though I was a book,
Because even through all she found,
She wasn't ever really trying to look.

We would talk and through it all,
A close comfort to my heart,
"We'll be friends forever",
And there's a feeling she will never depart.

A great comforting idea of forever.....
The question still lingers on in my mind,
How long is forever really?
....
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Oh how many times I verged on insanity,
I wanted to send my hearts notice,
Everyday,
But I convinced myself that,
There won't be a reality where ,
You remotely still have feelings for me,
So my heart goes unheard,
And my voice slowly starts to shake,
For there is so much I wanted to tell you.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
HelloPoetry; where realising poetic justice,
Is probably the cause of being just us.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I still miss you
What the hell is wrong with me....
Maybe when i said love you now and forever,
That somehow remained true....

I don't know what to feel anymore...
Star Gazer Feb 2016
He
was destined
for something
that seemed
extremely unfortunate
Injustice

He
fell on
his own
blade.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Day in day out, I'm sat here missing you.
I wonder whether I ever crossed your mind too.
I want to hold you, stare into your eyes,
Hug you while I look up at the skies,
Completely content.

I miss you so much babe.
And I was a fool writing this.
Blinded by the shackles of love.
Let's never make that mistake again,
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Through a twist of fate,
I made a mistake,
Of thinking hearts could be traded,
As though they could be sold and bought,
Till I realised I sold my heart for nought.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
For every poet I've seen written about being in love
I've seen them evolve to write about the fall out of love
From the brightest suns
To the darkest moons.
I've seen poets write of being in complete love
To writing about being in complete heartbreak.

Are humans so invested in the ideas of love?
I have not read one poem about fishing
Or a poem about common day dancing.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Always an angel,
Just one not in my presence,
But still an angel.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Rise above the inferno that incinerated everything,
Hold your head to the flames that scatter everywhere,
And realise that the fire that once burnt the world,
Is nothing but an illusion imagined into existence,
By the works of deluded minds who saw joy in pain.

Slowly the Earth will burn one day at a time,
When that time comes, the skies will cherish the moments,
For the sun and the sky has finally been apart.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Me and my friend both got horse riding lessons,
The two horses begun to speak to one another,
At first we couldn't understand the messages,
But then we listened closer and we heard,
One of the horses said "NAY!"

Out of the twenty horses in the stable,
I think I rode on the one that,
Was trying to sell drugs to other horses.
Why else would the horse say "Nay"
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Day by day I could feel your fingers start to release,
You're no longer as in love with me as you were,
I'm afraid one day our dreams and our reality halts,
When we'd both stand separately staring at the sea shore.

I feel it stronger everyday,
My love for you that is,
But I can feel you withdrawing,
And our hands became lonely.

Have you stopped loving me?
For I have never stopped loving you,
Or was this unrequited the whole time?
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I held myself up,
When they tried to hold me down,
Surprisingly strong enough,
To lift myself without a frown.

They held my head down the water,
Expecting that I would drown,
But I will not stand in front of god's alter,
For I am lifting my head and going to town.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
We fell apart,
Before we even knew where to start,
Because all along, everything I did for you was from the heart.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I once climbed to the
mountains summit and to sum
it up, it was great
Star Gazer Feb 2016
As time passes,
I'm not missing you any less,
And even with new glasses,
I'm looking like a mess.

So even tomorrow morning,
The tears keep coming,
But it's my own mourning,
For sending you running.

You've found someone better,
And now a regret,
So as memories become treasure,
I will never forget.

You've moved on already,
And I'm so pathetic.

If I were to meet you in another life,
I would take the same exact steps,
In hopes that one of those lives you'd stay,
Or somehow come back.

I'm a ******* idiot....
But all the best dear.

He picked up the dead rat and threw it on the table**,
We as freshmen of high school were always told this fable,
Of the great disgusting James who had no shame,
Oh but no one looked around and put autism to blame,
So while James is being poked fun at,
There's a dead rat at the table we sat.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Sleep evades me,
My dark surly bonds,
To my old acquaintance,
Holds on tight,
Imperishable,
Insosmnia,
Is truly the writers
Affliction
Star Gazer Feb 2016
The die had been rolled,
We were lifted off into another reality,
One without fatality,
And we were sold,
Just like the houses in monopoly.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
You're so busy lately, I miss your beautiful face.
I miss your adorable smile and how my heart skips it's pace.
It still beats in tandem but I still miss your voice,
I really wish we had more of a choice.
I miss everything about you and right now i feel lonely,
Even in company I still feel as thought I'm the one and only.

When will you not be busy?
When is later?
Is later still a timeframe in existence?
Star Gazer Jun 2016
I watched a world burn down
The greatest minds and hearts,
Where ash covered lost towns
I saw the destruction of art.

Some say it didn't happen,
Some say it never mattered,
I witnessed skyscrapers flattenend
And glass shards scattered.

I watched universes collapse
To essentially nothing but dust
And when I wanted to relax
I watched my reality rust.

I watched people destroy too many books
And too many lives
And too many universes
And too many worlds
For one lifetime
Star Gazer Feb 2016
A birdy once told me,
It is not who you are,
that makes the difference,
it is what you're
able to become
that defines who
you really are.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I am not a poet because I lack maturity,
My writing will always be tainted straying from purity,
There may be days I write my heart and soul,
But no matter how much I write I never feel whole.
I saw the world for its beauty but also its evils,
I've seen people be nice but also be decietful.
I am not a poet for I still find the word **** funny,
But I am fine being me,
Seeing the things I prefer to see.
My immaturity is what makes me how I am,
And if people refuse to accept that part of me,
Then I no longer require them in my life.
Immaturity does not mean I'm never serious,
It simply means I can distort my childlike side into this reality,
In a world where I'm taking orders from bosses,
Taking insults from university professors,
Why can't I retain my child like mind?
I am serious elsewhere, I am a stick in hay at work,
I am everything proper and mature,
But can't I be me when I want to be,
...
Why can't i just keep my childlike humour.
...
Star Gazer Feb 2016
You don't have to be perfect.
You don't have to be good.
You don't have to be anything
But yourself.

Which self you ask?
The self that you want to be.
The one that you recognize.

Please remember no matter what
My heart is still with you.

Remember my words,
I love you now and forever.

Remember your own words too.
Even if they were fake,
They are really true.

Please oh please don't give up.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I am an adult,
No longer the kid I was,
the kid that chased wasps,
ordered ants to battle,
the one to enjoy a bike saddle,
now those are like colonoscopy,
an unpleasant pinch to me.

I could remember,
the feel of the grass on my sole,
As I ran through a field,
Feeling somehow very whole.
Completely oblivious to,
growing up,
where smiling was enough,
and happiness was trying to look up.

I am not the kid I use to be,
I wish I could be,
But the kid that chased bees,
No longer exists in this world.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
I stopped looking both ways when I cross roads
In the end.
Nothing really matters,
Why should I even bother.
Crossing roads to get to your destination
In the end, no matter how much patience
You have. Somehow you will still
Be walking to your destination alone.
There's no points looking both ways crossing the road
There's no point breathing.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn't me
'Cause even after all this time I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily
......

I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
-Charlie Puth
Star Gazer Sep 2016
I imagined your eyes
a million different times;
I remember seeing stars
within each and every stare
But now I can't recant the thought,
Universes may sometimes implode
The same way a hurting heart
keeps the heartbeats on hold;
And sometimes muffled long enough
You'll realise the screaming silence
is a sign that 'you no longer love'.
For some it is sadness, some it is joyous;
But for me, it is closure.

I imagined your eyes
a million different times;
and I'm glad I got to see
all that was stored behind
the blue sky you had for eyes.
Our chapter was never mine,
It had been yours all along
And with memories tarnished and gone,
I can only do so much as to say thank you.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
She is a billboard on the walls of train platforms
With the corners and edges coated in dirt
She remains there hanging and slowly being torn
But yet she never complained about being hurt.

Adverts of tampons and pads
Amongst some other strange fads
Bombarded the beauty of the billboard.
She was something money could never afford.

He came across the billboard.
Stared in admiration. ...
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Life isn't a race,
It isn't a marathon,
Neither is it a paragon.
We live as we breathe,
We die and we leave,
But when the night ends,
Morning is across the corner,
Right where the road bends,
Is where we find ourselves.

As we live,
We await to see another day.

Home is where the heart is,
Home is where love resides,
Whether it'll be rocket rides,
Where kids seek and hides,
Where one confides,
Home is where love resides.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
In a fictionalised world,
And in my recurring dreams,
You became my wife.
You remained in love with me.
I don't have to say I miss you,
Because you never left.
I don't have to feel heartbreak,
Because it never happened.
You never grew to hate me.
But then what good is fiction
When reality is all that we have.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Ringing in my ears,
Shivering from fears,
It's setting in again,
Locked in a den,
The panic attack,
No more heart track.

When will my mind forget,
Or am I just not ready yet?
Star Gazer Feb 2016
There's only so many times I can say I wish you the best,
Before I appear to be a spirit haunting you.

     And this will be my last.

I wish you nothing but the best.
Star Gazer May 2016
Though surrounded by intoxicated
personalities
Hurting and dragging you down
Somehow
You rose to be a pure soul
Who knows
What it is like to put family
Ahead of themselves.
You deserve the world
And I'm hoping one day
Someone can give you the world,
Maybe one without any inebriating possibilities.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
When Pablo Neruda does it, it's beautiful art.
When I do it, it's cringy and desparate.
When Van Gogh does it, it's dedication.
When I do it, it's insanity and a restraining order.
When Picasso does it, it's cubism.
When I do it, it's scribbles.
When Robert Frost does it, it's wisdom.
When I do it, it's 'Facebook Garbage'.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
If you're still by my side
I wonder would you grow
Or would you stay
The way I remembered you.

Little kids dressed in suits
...
Little kids in adult bodies.

Little kids at heart.
Star Gazer Mar 2016
A rose stems from its roots.
A tree grows from its roots.
We came from two different places
You from the heavens, blessed with grace
And I from the dirt lands.
I wonder whether we'd meet plans
Or whether you're just playing with me.

Are you playing with my heart?
With your kind words dissecting it apart
Or do you genuinely are affectionate?

We come from two different worlds,
You an angel of the heavens
And I from where creatures roam...

Do we really belong together?

Does Frankenstein gets his angelic love?
Star Gazer Feb 2016
We were doomed from the start,
So now that we venture separately,
Did we just somehow grew apart?
Or whether we weren't meant to be.
Star Gazer Aug 2016
Time is forever changing
Yet my heart is forever vacant.
[The vacant lots
Where hatred rots,
Not out of a lack of love
But an abundance of being never good enough]
Star Gazer Jun 2016
To dream a chain to the Victorian Era
leave the shadows casting of isolation
where held hands held significance
and 'I love you' was not said in summation.

A rose bud grew in an arid desert
each perfect proper piece of petal
gave of its own sense of charm
and stood statically special.

I watched the rose bud picked
off the ground in asperity
while I hesitated to be heard
and I watched it crumble terribly.

I sat in desolation, in my own oasis,
I wedded the rose in my hand,
dreamt of a victorian era rose
and saw distance between two lands.

I will forever hold the rose in memory
As a reminder of the scent of last June
coerced to feel a faint of love in heart
by nothing more than conversations at noon.
Star Gazer Aug 2016
People said 'days end, when nights come'
and the same happens for the morning sun,
But lately I've got them all confused,
I don't know if I'm staring at stars
Or watching the headlights of cars;
I don't know if I'm glancing at the moon
Or whether I'm walking through a zoo.
I've been sitting on fences picketing the news;
And I'm still blind despite all the clues.

In the final moment
Although her eyes weren't open
Her smile was never broken
Just somehow, somewhat missing
And in my fading vision;
I saw her smile return;
Completely embraced by life.

I've witnessed myself drunk before;
When for was used before the word ever,
Where forever could never be severed
And the bottles weren't mixed with tears.
I remember drinking myself silly;
people said 'alcohol removes your fears'
and the same happens for my peers...
But I did not grow the least bit braver
In a hailstorm of battles that could
only ever be won by giving up.

I saw the universe in your eyes,
And I watched the universe burn
Along with everything in it.
People said 'days end, when nights come'
and the same happens for the morning sun...
But for me;
days don't end, nights don't end
The curtain draw was not closer
And though I can be sober,
I was drunk on the starlight;
more than I was sober by the sunlight;
the days don't end, nights don't end
when I have to live without my best friend.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
Every small voice heard,
Is ultimately another life being saved.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
I shed my armour,
Displaying my vulnerabilities.
I shouldn't have.
Star Gazer Apr 2016
Trust was a wall of brick that I built-
And with every lie laid

Bricks shifted and fell out of the wall.
The lies created a wall
From collapsed brick
Barricading my true self behind it.

Every act of facade
Enforced the brick
Making it harder.
War
Star Gazer Feb 2016
War
Where the corpses lay,
No signs of life, just death,
Stealing a life, biggest theft,
Bodies and limbs in vast array,
Drawing on their last breath.

Where the lead had been cast,
Nothing but rotting flesh,
Some of it quite fresh,
Now their life; a thing of the past,
Where blood and bullets mesh.

War is a tragic hell,
Death, decay and injuries everywhere,
And for some all that is left is hair,
But who can really tell?
For war is not fought with care.
Star Gazer Feb 2016
"When the wind burns torturous,
And the heat scorches us,
Remember that I would always shield you",
she says as her arms reach for my back in a warm embrace,
dislodging all the shards of glass impaled in my heart,
"I won't ever let go, nothing will tear us apart"
She whispers into my right ear.
I gazed into her beautiful black eyes,
An overwhelming feeling that I was soaring in the skies,
I asked, "Are you drunk? cause that's the lamest ****,
ever".

....Somehow she knew,
That I meant
**"I would hug you in my arms forever,
I would give you my life,
I would give you everything I am,
And everything I have".


       She didn't hear the words,
But she uttered the three words that told me she knew,
                      "It's all ok"...
Star Gazer Apr 2016
I've heard of men
Dying at war
Answering nations call
Or coming back
With a burden
Known as PTSD.

I've heard of hearts
Bursting from hatred
Flames igniting monks
To defend what is sacred
I've heard of hearts
Healing from love
And flames burning
For progression of
A society.

I've heard of people dying
At a battlezone whilst
Watching the alive
Die with them,
All suffering the same fate
Yet I'd never imagined
That racism somehow survived
Kept breathing and alive
By bigots who have no better cause
To fight for.
Racism somehow survived
By the flames that burnt
Destruction upon society
Rather than progression,
Racism somehow survived
As though bigots
Lacked the knowledge of sobriety,
Left their brain intoxicated
From all the colors they hated
Till they became rotten.
How the **** did racism survive,
When we couldn't even bring our soldiers home alive?

I feel you don't hear it enough. You all are amazing people, and I noticed I've been getting into the bad habit of writing sad emotions in poems, this is my attempt at a little more hopeful and happy mood. Everyone, you all deserve to be happy. stay happy and I want you to know that you are all incredible people. Stay strong I believe in you. You are superbly amazing.

We.
'A bully is always a coward',
The teachings prevalent in school,
But in glory he showered,
With attributes of being cool.

He grew up as most men do,
And still the sky sheltered him,
The sky that shone its blue,
For once never grew dim.

During school, whilst still young,
The bully broke peoples interest
Deemed singers nerd for being well sung,
Not realising everyone's different.

We can't all be well hung jocks,
We write to ease our pain,
Breaking from shackles, we picked locks,
Through words that don't die in vain.

The bully grew up like most people,
He became a banker somehow,
Robbing interest seemed less evil,
Because it was strictly business now.

Robbing interest through loans,
As though health and wellbeing,
Was a construction only shown,
From the money people are seeing.

The bully grew up,
Never deemed a real coward,
Whilst we hung unto our name enough,
For them to eventually be scoured.

We lived as freaks and geeks,
Always trapped between strange,
As though undeserving of creeks,
Lakes, Rivers, houses and granges.

We deserved it the way the bullies do,
Ever since the start, birth,
Because we live in the same blue,
The same blue that shelters Earth,

We may be the underdogs,
Sitting on the benches,
Butts sticking to rotten logs,
But we may also build business ventures.

So don't underestimate us, simply based on how we look,
Because one day we might be the exact people to save your lives,
So don't ever mistake sympathy for weakness because if you mistook,
We may shatter the lives we help save just look at bee and hives.
Star Gazer Apr 2016
24 Hours
Without you
Spoils the scent
Of loving flowers
that once gave
Ascent
To the definition of power.
