Hope - Hello Poetry

Hope Mar 2019

my side pressed to yours
my thigh pressed to yours
my head on your shoulder
your dad was sitting on the couch a few feet away from me
my skin underneath my clothes was tingling anyway

your sister and her friends were across the room
talking and laughing
there were people around us
yet my heart still raced from just
being
in your
presence
i felt like we had shut the world out
like we were alone

my hand inched toward yours
but I was unsure
unsure
even though I felt home because i was with you
my knuckle brushed yours
and i got even more nervous
i heard you reciting
the lines in the movie

i laughed at you
looked up
you were already staring
down
at
me

your eyes full of love

still
time froze
blush a little
laugh

smile
your smile
oh my god

i leaned my head back on your shoulder
my heart raced
even faster

i moved my hand again
moved so it was beside yours
two of my fingers
curling under your hand
stilling

brushing against your palm
you slid your hand over mine
intertwined our fingers

heat
love
intensity
filled me
overcame me

my eyes closed

you held it tight
it felt like forever
yet it was only a few minutes
that was suspended
in
time

the best minutes
so far
in my life

OOOOOF
Sorry it's a bit long

Pluto (Part 1)

Hello, Earth
How are you
It's been a while since we've really talked
I've missed you
Have you missed me
Of course
I already know the answer to that question
I'm floating slowly
Away from you
I hope I don't float too far
If you disappear
Who will I talk to?
I don't have many people left
All the others ignore me
I miss you
Do you miss me?

Metaphorical stance, Pluto is me. How y'all doing today?

Hate

You look at me
And it’s almost as if
You
Didn’t
Know
Me
As if you’d never cared for me
Hate swells within my heart
You
You
The destroyer
You did not
Keep
Your
Promise
To grow in my heart garden
You
You
Tortured
You set things on fire
Now it’s all ash
And I think
I see wings
Peaking out of the pile

This is to my ex “best friend”. Whom I really liked and who also had a girlfriend but kept making moves on me anyway. He now treats me like crap. Good riddance, dude.

Cerberus (Part 1)

Cerberus
She growls
Prowling inside me
Clawing at me from the inside
Her teeth bared
She clamps them around my heart
Yanking me in one direction
Then the other
But no one can hear my screams
However loud they are
And Cerberus...
She forces me
to
swallow
them

Cerberus is basically my anger issues. I use Cerberus as a metaphor for anger.

Unrequited Love

When you talk about her
You look in love
When you hear her name alone
You smile as if you’re drunk
When I tell you she’s nice and beautiful and great
You nod your head
As if you’re only subconsciously paying attention
And say,
“Yes. She is.”
But when you hear my name
Nothing comes to mind
Your face shows no emotion
And I don’t know what to think
You’re so oblivious to the fact that
I love you

— The End —
