Old Memories Of Icarus
Rose Everest Feb 2019
My iced coffee and your warm coffee infront of each other,
my blushing cheeks and your damp umbrella.

Our bed time stories filling up the distance between us two,
and before you know it,
time was up and we need to part ways.

You opened up your umbrella and walked away without saying goodbye and all I did was watch your black shirted figure walking farther and farther away.

My definition of love,
Rose Everest Feb 2019
To me love is,
Mysterious like the statues in Louvre,
Sweet like the chocolate factory in Roald Dahl's book,
Warm like the idea of having a cup of hot chocolate in the coldest of days,
Yet it is painful like the burnt marks on my toasted bread.
Why do I keep falling in love with the wrong person?

One evening with my ex
Rose Everest Feb 2019
Music flying across the room like the wind,
Sun spilling it's secret into this suffocating place,
Roasted beans and spilling vanilla ice cream all over the room,
You and your beloved cigarettes,
And me drinking my bittersweet caramel latte.
Our love stayed for awhile but then it left, leaving the both of us broken.

Us
Rose Everest Jan 2019
Us
for the first time in ages,
I met you,
you've changed.. a lot.

your hair,
your smile,
the butterflies in my stomach,
and every other little things you used to do.

the 'you' that I loved had left that pretty shell of yours,
and the 'you' right now have another beautiful shell,
but still... it's different.
I used to love you but now I don't

Midnights with you.
Rose Everest Jan 2019
It was as cold as snow,
As quiet as the morning dew,
And as lonely as two people staring at their own walls and ceilings,
Waiting for the other one to reply their text.
I miss you so so much Icarus

To my ex
Rose Everest Jan 2019
Your love was sweet,
like cotton candies on festival nights,
So sweet and weird and quirky all at the same time.

But when I tasted your lies it was sweeter than the cotton candy I had before,
So sweet that it hurts my teeth.

When I left you,
It's like the macchiato we always have,
bittersweet.
Tell me jun, why did you do that?

Lansasa
Rose Everest Jan 2019
Meeting you was like falling in love for the first time,
I was attracted to your charms yet I'm scared of the outcome.

your sharp witted thoughts,
endearing smile,
and your sharp mouth.

you were like the big blue ocean,
so harsh yet calming.

and yet,
I still love you and hate you for everything that
happened between the both of us.
'lansasa' is his initials
he is my senior.

A Letter for you, From me
Rose Everest Dec 2018
Dear Icarus,

I've fallen in love with another person,
he's like Hades.

He treats me better than you did, he makes me laugh like no one is looking, he makes me smile more–
just everything more than you did, Love.

Instead of you who made me cry every now and then,
who may or may not be disgusted by my own being,
who made me question every single bits of myself,
"Am I pretty enough?" "Am I good enough?"

Icarus, Love– I've loved you for 2 summers and I'd never, ever regret loving such beauty.

I loved you and I still do.

Sincerely,
Rose E.
this is where our chapter end my love

Love stings
Rose Everest Nov 2018
As I see you holding her heart and her doing the same thing,

I will be here–

Mourning over my heart you once hold and eventually crush
"I am happy as long as you're happy" I said to him, and then he left.

Why did he choose her?
Rose Everest Nov 2018
I'm just a girl who is still insecure about her own skin and body,
who is still thinking about everyone's comments about everything I have in this world.

I'm just a 5'4 feet girl,
with 3 body rolls,
constantly dragging and forcing herself to be a part of the beauty standards in this wretched world.

I'm just a girl who's failing both in academics and life,
but still try to make her parents proud.

of course you'll choose her over me

Won't you see?
Rose Everest Nov 2018
For I have loved you till he leave,
Scraping every single bits and pieces of your broken heart,
But you talk about him as if he's still here loving and taking you back into his arms.
Just look at me love,
For once..
Won't you?

February Afternoon
Rose Everest Nov 2018
It was supposed to be the both of us and our mutuals,
But it ended up being just the both of us going out.

Watching a romantic film for two people in a weird relationship,
It was not as friends nor lovers.

I wore my best clothes and make up just to impress you,
Which in the end I did.

We took a couple of pictures and we both went to the theaters together,
Sat next to each other.

In the car you and I sat in the backseat,
You gave me your jacket, played with my hair.

And you put your face 10cm away from mine.

And you still pick her over me.
It was supposed to be a date bit in the end his friend came.

The boy who sat behind me
Rose Everest Nov 2018
He is sweet,
Like the cotton candy I bought last Thursday.
He would ask me to play games in our phones for hours,
and whenever he win or lose he would keep count each and every day we played.

He is warm,
Like one big blanket on a rainy day,
He called me at 01:00 A.M just to remind me to study for our upcoming test at school.

I love him,
as much as I love the people in my past,
He would take me home and said he was scared of the cemetery infront of my house,
and he asked me to stay for a little while so he could have some company that night.

and today he scold me because I didn't eat yeasterday,
it was kind of weird,
but strangely... I love it
crushes after crushes,
and none of them will stay

When you're gone...
Rose Everest Oct 2018
The storm inside my heart rumbles more than the thunderstorm outside.

I danced across the rain filled road,
Thinking to myself that if I do that,
You'll eventually come back.

You told me once; when I was about to end my life,
That you'd rather silenced the people who talk **** about me than losing me,
And you told me that it'll make you sad if I'm no longer around.

Then you'd call me,
And tell me that you'll make me the happiest girl in this world.

But then whenever I re-read those memories,
Those were just made up honey coated lies.

And in the end,
You choose to be with her than me.
He found his own love while I'm here crying

Summer festival
Rose Everest Oct 2018
Last night,
When the clock struck midnight,
And as the artist sang their songs.

I thought about you in every love song,
Every sunset,
Every cold air.

Your scent lingers on everywhere I go,
Your presence stayed in my mind for eternity.

And I know for sure that we are never going to be together,
But I know for a fact that I have and always loved you.
I saw you in the music festival I loved on one summer night.

One sad night
Rose Everest Oct 2018
I dreamt about you last night,
it was truly surreal.

you hugged me from behind on that very road,
and as I woke up, I told myself that it was just a dream,
yet I smelled your scent on my shirt.

then my dream continue as I fall deeper and deeper into my sleep,
I saw you again; smiling at the sight of me,
I asked your friend and she said "He have been boasting about you and him hugging you all day long!"
and that scorching blush I felt on my cheeks and chest was surreal too.

us holding each others hands in front of the reddish orange sunset on the beach,
us hugging in front of my hotel room.

all of that is just one of my stupid dream.
Why can't I stop falling in love with the wrong person?

Unexpected Love
Rose Everest Oct 2018
Her hair,
Soft like a brand new bed sheets on my wrecked bed.
Her smile,
Sweet like the coffee I drank a couple of hours ago.
Her scent,
It lingers everywhere; whether it is in my room or in my dreams.
Her,
She is my first unexpected love.
I fell for a women
