Poet X Aug 2019
i have tried every attempt to convince myself
im not in love with you.

despite the fact that you still curse my dreams night after night
and every idea I've ever had of love goes back to you.

despite that being around you
gives me a high no drug can compare.

despite that
im a liar.

a liar who can't
stop ******* being in love with you.
idk.. maybe its a.. love poem?
Poet X Nov 2019
I think I could fall for you
I think I could fall
I think if I allow myself
ill fall
again
too fast
and too hard.

but at this height..
I might not get back up.
Poet X Nov 2019
your teaching me
exactly how to hate myself
and with each flaw of mine you
point out I fantasize over
the lack of yours
so maybe I shouldn’t be falling for you
I definitely shouldn’t be falling for you
I shouldn’t, but I am.
Poet X Oct 2019
it’s my fault really
I gave you the sticks
Taught you how to throw the stones
and you broke me .
Poet X Sep 2019
let me drown in the
vastness of my own consciousness .

let me sleep,
sleep once without waking up tired .

tired from the same feelings
that left me tired the night before .
a plead from an insomniac
Poet X Dec 2019
I was asked the question:
“what do I do when I no longer find life beautiful?”

and it had never been a thought to me
whether or not life was beautiful.
it just was,
the same way the sky was immortal
and the stars endless.

so if for some reason
you no longer find life beautiful
turn to the stars
to the moon
ask for wisdom from the ancient tree Adonis.
surely,
surely,
beauty lies somewhere
even if
You have to look for it.
Poet X Aug 2019
a heart is not a bone,
i suppose it can not be broken .

it's a muscle,
strained far beyond its proper use .

it does not work the same anymore,

honestly
i'd be surprised
if it wanted to work at all .
Poet X Sep 2021
funny, almost
how everyone but you
sees how miserable you make me
Poet X Nov 2019
I always assumed the body and soul were separate .
the body was all that could feel,
and boy..
was I wrong .
Poet X Oct 2019
sticks and stones
have broken my bones
but your words
Always hurt
Worse.
Poet X Jun 2019
I thought,
if I leave my heart the way you left it--
in pieces-
then maybe
just maybe
it can't be broken again . .
or maybe it'll just shatter

you are the guy
every girl crushes over
with a smile that challenges even the sea with it's depth
melanin so sweet i could call you chocolate.
with each growing day i have this overwhleming thirst to wrap my arms around your torso,
my favourite part of the morning is hearing you laugh
you have brought forth the child in me
the worst part is
i think you feel this too
tell me,
do you feel this to?
i don't want to ignore my feelings anymore
Poet X Aug 2019
I offered you my poems,
my equivalent to
being naked .

I was bearing my full nakedness to you,
To you,
Who looked away at the sight .
well **** , that hurt .
Poet X Jun 2019
once I come across a song I love
I stop listening to it,
I fear
I will get tired of it .

but I still melt whenever the melody that is your heartbeat plays
and your voice--
******* your voice,
still makes me want to dance.
Poet X Sep 2021
although your skin is sweet i won’t call you chocolate
and even though the bible says you were made from the dirt i cannot believe that
your body is Jupiter, is Saturn.
your skin made in the image of a sunset
your fingers more gentle then dying yellow leaves falling to their final resting place
your hair trying to compete  with the night in its depth and yet, somehow a color so beautiful
i don’t think there’s a name for it yet
your voice a song
a french song
an old song
a love song a
old french love song
dear boy who’s eyes are made of stardust
who’s lips are my addiction
arms my protection
dear boy who’s eyes are made of stardust
i haven’t yet found
the right metaphors to describe your beauty
but ****
when the gods made you
i know the universe had to be their muse
dear boy who’s eyes are made of stardust i know there’s not a lot of poems out there for people who look like you but let this be the first
let this one be yours
Poet X Aug 2019
I assume we are scared of death because we don’t want life to end

but Death wants to live too,

The sun has to go away
For the moon to be able to shine .
Ya know?

you are so beautiful,
a soul as pure as sunlight
and a smile that challenges even the sea with it's depth.

you have captured me and my heart,
a feat many have tried and none have accomplished.

you are the kind of person worth writing about,
a poem worth speaking
a song worth singing
a dance worth expressing,
a canvas i would love to paint.

i imagine being allowed to love you is alot like runners high,
or any type of high.
but this poem is far too long,
and i have promises to keep,
and miles and miles to go
before i sleep.
my first love poem in a while
Poet X Aug 2019
I think we call relate to drowning
even if you can swim ,
even if you love water,
even if you feel dry
even if you feel nothing but and endless ocean of nothingness.

if you’re human,
and even if you are not
You know what it is be surrounded .

you know what is to be consumed

to feel like a god
to feel like a mortal
to feel like prey
to feel like predator.

if you’re human,
And even if you are not
you know what it is to drown


and not want to come up for air .
Poet X Jul 2019
the people
the.. bodies
the humans..
the faces,
too many
too many faces.

I thought maybe I would be okay,
that I can do this on my own,
but my mind betrays me once again,
my lungs and heart go faster than I can carry them.

there's no way out,
I'm in too deep
yes I'm drowning

but nothing
can save me .
Poet X Nov 2019
I think I have begun to reach it,
the edge of the world.
whether it is flat or round
everything must come to an end
so I have begun to reach it,
the edge of
the world
of this world
of your world
of my world.
I'm **** near the end
im so close I can caress the stars
with my fingertips.
up here
the oceans have taken the size of a mere moon.
and I think what world
must lie beyond
but I how ready I am to leave his one,
or if there even is a world
regardless
I have reached the edge of my world
and I could not be more ready to
jump.
Poet X Jul 2019
and if we were in the endless exosphere
i'm sure I would've fallen for you even then,
despite not having gravity.
Ahaha
Poet X Aug 2019
i admit
my life has become an
endless blur of days
and nights
conversation i never had
and poems i have yet the strength to write.
Poet X Jul 2019
and if the rules of the church
are the only way i'll get into
              "heaven"
well,
         to hell
                    with that .
Poet X Jul 2019
How easy it is,
To get lost in a universe
that is entirely your own.
it’s easy, trust me.
Poet X Dec 2019
I fell for you in the winter
my bones cold
I was decaying with fallen leaves
and I remember the books
How they described this feeling
with countless metaphors
But it’s like reading about gravity
And falling for the first time
With no way to see
What’s going to catch you.
Poet X May 2019
after a day long enough
that could be mistaken for a week,
I lay my ear to your chest
your heartbeat has to be my
favorite
song.
Poet X Jul 2019
many preach of being immortal as a cure,
but i see no greater curse
than living--
not even living;
simply existing
until the Earth itself
takes its' eternal rest .
i have never been afraid of death anyway.
Poet X Mar 2020
I haven’t written in weeks
but you’re on my mind
and
I can’t keep
my pen from paper .
Poet X Nov 2019
I saw you today
and although its been months
my heart still doesn't know how to act when it sees you .

my hands shook and trembled at your arrival
I thought every thought twice
and then three times more .

will it be like this forever,
will I always be a slave to my feelings for you ?
Poet X Jul 2019
believe me,
i've tried to sleep .

i long for that nothingness
i'm allowed to feel .

but every night
my mind betrays me .
just want to close my eyes,
and feel alright.
Poet X Jun 2019
the way I repel the morning
and make love to the night,
I may just be becoming an
insomniac .
Poet X May 2021
i just realized the lack of sanity of our situation
crazy
how you've seen me naked
stretch marks and all
but i don't know your favourite song
and you don't know mine
can we get to know each other more first?
Poet X Sep 2019
I swear I’m not a love poet but

loving you
makes me scared of dying .

I know what it’s all about now,
I get why the sun rises
and the moon sets.
I understand why the stars shine
and the birds chirp.
I get why the heart beats
and the lungs breathe.

I get it now,
why I’m alive.
loving you is the only thing I feel good at .
Poet X Dec 2019
One where stars don’t die
Hearts don’t break
Angels don’t fall
The sky isn’t crying
And souls can’t shatter
I was asked to write a happy poem
But I can not preach what I do not know
I can not write a happy poem.
Poet X Jun 2019
days like these
I can't help but feel
as if
i'm just
existing ;

and that is all .

~ the girl who knows she has a purpose but doesn't see the purpose .
the girl feels pretty empty too
Poet X Jun 2019
I learned at a young age,
that the only person that is ever going
to always be there for me,
is me .

~ the girl abandoned too often
Poet X Aug 2019
i do hope dying is a lot like falling asleep .

its not the pain,
the loneliness
or even the after
i'm afraid of .

i want to melt into an endless oblivion
let me be a star
let me burn until i having nothing left to burn anymore  

see,
its the living that scares the hell out of me .
Poet X May 2020
there’s no distractions any more
the books can only hold me for so long and
it's only me
in this house
that is not home and
my thoughts are all i am left with
my thoughts are all i am left with
my thoughts are all i am left with
Poet X Jun 2019
I was told
I love too much
to the wrong things
too often .
I wonder when I can learn to love right too
Poet X Aug 2019
I know they say
I should remember you happy .

The thing is,
All
I’m trying to do
is remember you at all .
Poet X Jul 2019
and although I post them,

I only every write these poems

for me .
color me selfish
Poet X Nov 2019
it's quite a challenge for me
to look in the mirror and not point out
all the things about my body
I wish to change.

the first thing I see are my imperfections
and I wonder what kind of peace
what kind of universe
could exist where I don't feel this way.

Probably one
with no mirrors.
Poet X Dec 2019
I miss you,
I miss your flesh and
even your bones
I miss your face and
Terrible jokes
I miss you the same way a body misses it’s soul
And when your gone,
I decay just the same.
Now that I’ve fallen for you,
I can’t imagine myself
Without you.
I’ve never been religious, but this must be hell.
Poet X Nov 2019
I long to tell
all the things I think of you

like how beautiful your soul is
how even on the days you forget
how to love yourself
ill love you enough for the both of us.

I long to tell you
how I lied when I told you I don't believe in love
because I believe in you,
and that's the same.

but I am a coward,
and you will not read this poem
And I will not read it to you.
Poet X May 2019
A night
Before this star-lit morning,
The sky
Above our chaotic
Little valley
Sliced her own wrists
Bled destruction,
And blamed it
On us.

I am convinced,
She was telling the truth.

~ the girl who wants to understand her world.
Poet X Jul 2019
what a cursed existence this is,
to long for the eternal rest
but never having the courage
to put myself there .
no, i'm fine.
Poet X Dec 2019
It’s funny,
For a person who does not believe in love
I sure do write about it a lot
The same way an atheist
Makes jokes about
Praying to God.

For a person who does not believe in love
I sure do write about it a lot,
They say you can not preach
what you do not know so
I guess I’ll find
something else
To write about.
Poet X Jul 2019
They say there is
no place like home.

But I’d rather be anywhere
than my own mind.

It’s very crowded in here.
Too many faces Too many faces Too many faces
Poet X Jun 2019
a thunderstorm without
its thunder
a tornado without
its wind
a sandstorm without
sand
a story with
no plot
a house,
but not a home;
its now just a body..
without its soul.

~ the girl who hates funerals
