Sun
Eddie Aug 22
Sun
I want bathe
In the heat that’s extracted from your body
And let that be my sun
Replace the rays with your hands
And let them hold me when they want
Let your kisses be the vitamins
And let that be my nourishment

Like our ancestors,
I worship you

Basking in your presence

Settling is so unsettling

Can't sleep

The loneliest nights
are spent in a house full
of people who love me

Love yourself
Eddie Feb 2020
On my front door steps,
I looked at her,
as she walked away,

She turned to me and said,
"No one will ever love you"
"so as long as you never learn"
"to love that what you hate the most"

"yourself"
I can't say I fully love myself but everyday I get a little better at it
Eddie Jan 2020
pretty little thing,
innocent and sweet
why must you believe in the unseen
why do you trust what a stranger thinks,
judging us, superficially

do you think of when I was born and judge me entirely?
does the month and day declare who i'll be and the life i'll lead?

why must you put your faith in a deck of cards
and not in what is ours

please, my love,
believe in me,
believe in us
my girlfriend is a firm believer in tarot card readings. yesterday, they told her I wasn't the one and she should watch out for virgos--we're evil. I can sense her second-guessing our relationship.

Mortals
Eddie Dec 2019
when we're healthy,
we forget we get ill

when we love,
we forget heartbreak

when we breathe,
we forget we choke

when we're alive,
we forget we die

please,
cherish every moment

give me away
Eddie Dec 2019
in order to spend
you must give

but i gave you my all
and you spent it all

on someone else
that wasn't me

so tell me now,
how true it is to say
in order to spend
you must give

Las Flores de Octubre
Eddie Jun 2019
Como los rayos del sol se absorban por los poros de tu piel
Yo te absorbe por todo mi cuerpo
Y cuando te necesite y no estes
Te encontrare entre cada rayo de sol
Dejare las olas del mar llevarme
A donde te encontre por primera vez
Y ai
Te juro que
Jamas y para siempre
Te parare de amar
This is a poem I wrote for my girlfriend. We started dating in October when all the flowers seem to go yellow but with her, all the flowers seem to bloom.

Oh, your demon, Secret
Eddie Jun 2019
Secret, I beg you, remain asleep
Tip-toe by you, a stealthy sneak
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to see
What you hid from the world, what you hid from me

Hold me down, I mustn’t proceed
"That was then and this is now"
Repetition is key
To make me forget
of the time before me

But, sadly,

I’m a contradiction, far too weak
I must know, please, just one peek
What do you hold? What surreptitious past do I greet?
What is the truth? Who is he?
I see the videos and photography
Let me in, let me see
Secret, secret, awake for me
This is a poem I wrote after retro-jealousy took over me in my relationship. I saw a photo that made me feel too much and this was its product. I know a lot of people can relate to the icky feeling of this retro-jealousy. Enjoy.

Summer Nights
Eddie Jun 2019
On summer nights
I get depressed
I need more sleep
I need some rest
I can't count sheep
I can't get dressed
I drown myself in regret
suffocated by all the stress
I can't remember
I can't forget
I need some help
I'm in distress

On summer nights,
I'm on a quest
to **** my mind
and guard my chest
I'm at the bottom
I won't contest
taunting me, on my desk
are pills of happiness
I won't digest

On summer nights,
I start a trek
I'll think in black
I'll bleed in red
I won't give in
I'll try my best
I'll walk the tightrope
step by step
I'll win again
I'll beat the test
Alive today
I'm not dead yet

— The End —
