Repetition
ephemeral Jul 2014
The way the wind whispers to the trees at night,
this is beautiful.
the way the sky changes colors until everything blends
into a pinkish-orange sunset,
this is beautiful.
the way that people dance in the rain
just to forget everything,
this is beautiful.
the way the pages of a new book feel
under your hands as you turn the pages,
this is beautiful.
the way airplanes rise, higher and higher into the sky until
everything around them is white nothingness,
this is beautiful.
the way people are able to smile
after their eyes have filled with tsunamis,
this is beautiful.
the way that I am able to sit here and name
all the beautiful things in life is a gift,
and that
is beautiful, too.

it's 11:28 pm, and it's been exactly
two months since you told me
you were going away.
two months since I kissed you,
two months since "I love you".
two months that I've missed you.
I miss you, but I don't know how to say that, so I wrote a poem.

Breaking slowly
Until there's nothing left but pieces
And what's so good about  
picking up the pieces?
Because what's broken can always be fixed, but what's fixed will always be broken
And you can try to fix me but
Be careful when picking up the pieces of someone who's broken,
Because you might end up cutting yourself
On their jagged edges, on
My shattered edges
Because it's like I'm toxic
And all I do is hurt everyone around me. And I'm so sorry
For everything. And all I'm doing now is over thinking, and over feeling, but what else can I do?
This is old but it's also relevant.

Maybe if we all play at being okay
Then we can actually force ourselves into believing it

The Warning

Be careful
When trying to fix someone
Because once something
B

                             e
    a
                     k
                              s
It can never
Be the same
again

Misery At It's Best
ephemeral Aug 2014
The thing about sadness
Without a cause
Is that you can't do anything about it
Because how can you try to
Fix something
When you don't even know
Which part of it
Is broken?
Just some 1:30 am observations. I'm not sure what to title this, so any ideas would be much appreciated <3

Blank Space

I don’t know how anyone
Can stand to think
and feel so much;
and nothing
All at once.
Yes ik the title is also a Taylor Swift song but I couldn't think of anything else so if you have any ideas please let me know.
