I just wanted that piece back,
Where we did nothing but everything.
I loved the way you shined,
Everything was against you and I stood by.
Staying in your corner,
Silent cheers amongst the negative backlash.
Until you hurt me again,
This one hurt worse.
Which is strange to think,
Our breakup should’ve hurt,
It wasn’t.
It was knowing I was officially done,
Knowing we’d never get that chance.
All the smiles and laughs echo in my room,
Just thought at the end of the day it’s me and you.
I hate losing you over and over. This will be the last time I do.
Delyla Nunez Jan 2021
It’s the same thing.
Constant doubts, thinking the other lies, overthinking and assumptions.
The ingredients for a perfectly great breakup.
Again.
I don’t know how this is suppose to work.
Me hating myself, you being upset because of what I did, and
us never trusting.
Lots of work?
Oh yes, quiet a lot, but because love conquers all we’ll be okay.
Except we aren’t and we’ve argued
Some old work I did before.
Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
You are like a drug,
Consuming my well being.
Taking advantage the only way you know you can.
Yet here I sit wishing for things to be different,
To be someone else to you.
We cannot go back to how it was,
This is what acceptance is for me.
To live freely yet stably,
Without you on my side.
Delyla Nunez Nov 2021
A soft glance so pure,
Full of adoration.
I question this look,
For it was lost and yet found once more.
In your orbs,
I see the turmoil you face,
Yet you seek comfort in my embrace.
Full of mystery you are,
And I find myself at peace.
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022

I cannot turn back the clock,
Because I have finally ran out of luck.
Before everything,
Before the relationship,
Before Gabe died,
I should’ve been left as I was.
Nothing.

Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
I do things with him I didn’t with you.
My communication is worth more than my screams.
You held me back and held you.
We thought it was love,
When in fact,
It ‘twas an idea.
Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
Missing you is like a disease,
Sickened at the thought of you gone.
I am weak to you,
No one compares to you.
Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
My happiness is decided on those around,
The ones I choose to stay in my life.
Containing all of my being,
Crazed thoughts run through,
It gets hard to breath.
And relaxed.
Delyla Nunez Oct 2021
Longing for a home.
Trapped in desire.
Is this what I wished?
Delyla Nunez May 2021
I hate being wrong.
I hate being right.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2021
He said,
“Take my hand, give your worries to me and finish your process.”

I said,
“No.”
Delyla Nunez Jun 2022
One day your in love,
The next you’re trying to be okay,
Sometimes you have your bestfriend,
Other times you’re looking for them.
Reluctantly we all make our choices,
Our free will navigating our lives,
Thoughts processed for what will not ever be.
Guilt colliding with memories,
Losing what was had.
Forever in pain.
Delyla Nunez Jul 2022
I don’t NOT love you,
I just choose to separate myself from,
Who you are becoming with me.
Delyla Nunez Apr 2022
Goodbyes are always hard,
The remorse of not doing more,
The guilt of your fault,
The anger of betrayal,
And the sadness of all the memories.
Yet we still do nothing,
Till the next death comes around.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2021
I was burned to ash only to rise.
Thoughts of the wise,
Love of the highs,
And lost of all of the goodbyes.  

You broke me down.
Not knowing you made the final blow.  
Leaving me on the floor.
Cold and alone.

I’ve cried until it was nothing,
Because I knew you were only bluffing.
My anger rises and I am hungry.
Fueled by angst and negativity.

No longer will I play nice,
After all it was you who turned me towards the next vice.
I know I’ll be fetched for a hefty price.
Just another bleh one haha, I can’t think of anything new.
Delyla Nunez May 2021
I hope you do leave,
I hope you never see my face.
This was the hardest thing to do,
And you still spit at my face.
You are the worst and I pray,
Pray,
Pray,
You get wha
T
You deserve.
I hope you’re done with the fake accounts,
Because now I know better.
Delyla Nunez May 2021
She sees the pain you hide,
A conversation to get by.
Speaking ever so loud her voice,
Is taken.
Only to be established by
A mistake.
Delyla Nunez Jun 2021
Be a better person you were than you were the day before.
Delyla Nunez Jul 2021
He holds me in a way I am safe,
The warmth of his touch comforting.
A safe space is what he is,
All of my worries and doubts,
Gone.
Every emotion and thought
Carefully calibrated in mind to helping me.
You are an abundance of everything
Yet nothing.
Maybe that is what attracted me to
Only you.
Delyla Nunez Nov 2021
Tragic
Suspenseful
Lost
Delyla Nunez Apr 2021
I’ve given my everything to you.
I’ve spoke to you of what is needed.
Everyone was right about us,
We never should’ve tried again.
Delyla Nunez Apr 2022
Sometimes I wished you knew,
I understand,
I get it,
But I wished you’d get me too.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
Falling in love,
In two words?
It hurts.
Delyla Nunez Jun 2022
It’s weird,
The people we all talk to,
Eventually all become the strangers we never wanted.
Moving on is weird
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
I am the problem,
It’s unfathomable.
The truth makes it’s way,
Just for it all to go down the drain.
It is for the lack of affection I give,
To mislead through the grief.
For I am the problem,
And you all,
Were perfect.
Delyla Nunez Jun 2022
So many things I want,
Being happy,
Being happy with someone I love.
Also,
Being happy with me.
I know what must be done,
Although I am not quiet ready for it,
I have to.
Anxiety ridden and masking,
I wish to be free,
But that all has to start with me.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2021
Stability.
Honesty.
Unconditional love.

Three simple things needed to survive this new found world.
An urgency everyone wants.
A partner.

Agreeing to disagree.
Knowing when enough is enough.
No escalation.
Peace and safety.

Alas these simple things aren’t so simple.
We tend to think selfishly rather than together.
How could you communicate if neither is listening.

Simply put.
You don’t.
Finding good ones in my drafts haha
Delyla Nunez May 2021
We rise and we fall.
Learning to crawl
As we continue to make our call.
I sit and write to you,
So you know my words are true.
Been awhile I know
Delyla Nunez Dec 2022
That Breath of air when swimming under the water too long,
That’s what life was.
Suffocating,
Undesirable,
A vast liquid of nothing.
That is till the burning in my lungs form,
Seizing at every attempt to breathe,
Struggling to find which way is up.
The frantic grasps of liquid,
Thighs and legs kicking rapidly,
As if all was lost the fresh breeze hits my hand.
I’ve made it,
All throughout the doubts,
Every tribulation has come to this.
Air.
Delyla Nunez May 2021
No matter where I go,
Where the winds of change flow.
That’s where I’ll be waiting,
For you and you alone.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2021
It’s simple,
Easy.
Like taking off a bandaid,
Yeah right.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
Another game.
Nothing holding anyone back.
All past events forgotten.
Everyone was fine.
Too bad those are just dreams.
Delyla Nunez Jun 2022
Reluctantly stubborn,
You come like a hurricane,
One small opening of purity and serenity.
We will never be compatible,
No longer will I be your friend,
So I sit in your shadows watching you grow.
One day you’ll see what I see,
Believe what I know,
We all see it.
You’ll perceive it how you will,
There isn't angst towards you,
Never will it ever be.
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022
I’m grateful,
I’m secure,
I’m safe.
I’m finally seen,
I’m finally heard,
I’m finally loved.
Creating this new life with him,
Making myself into what I was wanting,
Becoming MYSELF once more.
I don’t have to hide,
I don’t have to lie,
I can be me.
Delyla Nunez Nov 2021
You were my Hercules.
You gave me my soul again,
Yet reconfigured.
My love for you was/is everlasting.
You were the gasoline I wanted,
Needed,
Dousing my fire with what we called love.
I miss you some days,
I crave you most days.
Yet everyday I wish I never met you.
Delyla Nunez Jan 2022

Gentle circles are made on your back,
A light snore makes it’s way to your lips.
Lips I’ve touched thrice over,
Lips that’ve consumed my being.
Everlasting.

Delyla Nunez May 2021
Silenced,
Degraded,
Belittled.
None of which can explain,
The depth of the pain in given.
Writing on paper to escape this world,
Only to turn into anger.

Rage,
Resentment,
Fury.
The coarse of red seeping into my eyes,
My thoughts are muddled and distasteful.
My heart pounding in distraught.

And now left with a mangled body,
Ready for those who take and take,
Knowing I won’t get what was taken.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
At the end of the day,
You never really get what you want.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2021
I think of you from time to time.
It’s ineluctable.
It’s a shame.
The heart heals the slowest.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
I do not look at your art for remembrance,
I look at your art for your sanity.
One I couldn’t return to you,
As you couldn’t do to I.
Hoping you continue to be happy in life,
As I am doing in mine.
With the people who came through so suddenly,
Unexpected coincidences.
Your art tells your thoughts,
The lies you’ve been told,
The love thought shared between,
Lies you’ve made up,
Closure in Ones and Zeros.
I hope you continue on,
Stand the ground you walk on,
Complete the life you were meant to lead.
Keep moving on.
Delyla Nunez May 2021
Lost and never found.
Yet you keep the game,
High and mighty you stand,
Yet still small and fragile.
To think I thought you were everything,
Turns out you were the nightmare.
Delyla Nunez Apr 2021
It’s a mask to put over my head.
It’s the alcohol consumed to numb the mind.
It’s acting as if I’m okay because nobody cares.
Letting go of everything that I need to keep me going is gone,
Everything I did for myself slipped down the drain.
I worked so hard.
I fought for so long.
I tried for everything.

Why am I still the let down,
Even when I communicate.
My depression has gotten worse. I’m sorry.
Delyla Nunez Aug 2021
Three people.
You him and I.
We met up in Cruces,
It was grand.
We all got a long,
Shots are fired and there you are on the floor.
There is a pool of red and i,
I am kneeling to you and crying.
He pulls me off and we leave you.
I awaken and tears are down my cheeks,
One thought comes to mind.
“Please be okay.”
Delyla Nunez Nov 2021
It’s what we all want.
A desire for one soul.
A peace finally found.
Comfort in his arms,
My ear pressed against his chest.
The rhythmic beating of one’s heart.
Love and harmony.
Perfect balance,
Even when days are long.
-Mrs. Ramirez-Nuñez
At last.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2022
We were just talking,
I raised my voice slightly.
I heard screams,
I made you quiet out of concern.
We both hear it now,
All hell broke loose.
The fighting, the dogs, the police.
We were never meant to be,
Because all along it was the girl who helped save me too..
Im glad you found her. I’m glad she makes your world spin again. Just as He does for me now and forever.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2021
We talk.
We pick on each other.
You make me smile.
I see your smile.

Everything flows well enough,
For the moment.
Your reassurance gives me hope,
My heart weakens by your grace.

I hope that it will be you,
That I can be with you.
After all the awful things,
My soul still belongs to you.

After all is said and done,
I still love you.
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
To think I almost ******* believed it.
Of course I’m the joke.
I hurt you so ******* bad and I’m the one making lies.

Funny how you can’t do no wrong yet when I bring it up,
Tell you how you’re acting,
We can just brush it off.

Last I checked none of your so-called friends gave a **** about you almost killing yourself the three times you almost did.

I was made the joke to care for you.
Worry about you.
It was *******.
So thanks for making me home
You made me believe and you destroyed it. Thanks.
Delyla Nunez Feb 2021
“But I do know one thing though
*******, they come, they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday
Monday through Sunday, yo
Maybe I'll love you one day
Maybe we'll someday grow
'Til then just sit your drunk *** on that ******' runway, **.
But I can’t be your Superman.”
My favorite artist. My favorite verse. How I feel today.
Delyla Nunez Mar 2022
It’s like breathing,
Only I don’t know how I’m breathing.
Everything seems dull,
Uninteresting,
Bleak.
I hate knowing you make me feel like this,
All because of lies, miscommunications,
And connections.
An unspeakable phenomenon that occurs to the few,
Yet everything can’t be as is and I destroy.
Losing everything to be constantly reminded,
Too many denominators to discuss one thing.
What I wanted,
What I was happy for,
But this is life.
Delyla Nunez Dec 2020
I stand alone in my mind. A spotlight shines down on me.
Portraying what I am really doing.
Staying.
Lost.

I have no thoughts just an endless echo of silence.
Fueled by hate, pain and sorrow.
Which to feel first?
It’s not like I smile anymore.

My smile was beautiful, it was simple.
Though it was so sincere, content and pure.
If only I could smile like that,
Would I be able to get out?  

The world keeps moving forward.
Just like the seasons, pushing towards winter, everyone around is moving.
I’m stuck. I can’t move my legs.
In cement locked in place with no one around to rescue me.
