looking for warmth
glumplum Jul 2017
You took the warmth with you,
For a long time I sat alone in the cold,
Waiting for that warmth to come back,
I looked for it in others,
In my friends,
In my family,
Even in strangers,
Though I caught a few glimpses of it,
It wasn't the same,
After a while I gave up on searching,
I accepted the cold and all of it's bitterness,
But one day , I looked in my reflection,
There was a familiar glint in my eyes,
Inside of me,
And I finally found the warmth that you "stole,"
But you never really had it,
And now I know,
That you nor anyone else can take this from me,
I'm my own sunshine,
And never again will I forget that.

absence of you
glumplum Jul 2017
I tried to find reasons for how,
You hurt me,
So I kept apologizing for not being good enough,
But I am,
More than enough for you to stay,
Because I loved you,
Yet you still hurt me,
And no reason is going to justify you making me feel less of myself

quiet summer nights
glumplum Sep 2017
I don’t know how to create anymore
Nothing seems good
Nothing seems right
I let moments pass
Turning days into nights
While I sit in my room
Watching sunsets
And staring at the moon

because feelings change
glumplum Jul 2017
I want to be able to catch someone stealing glances and feel giddy,
I want to notice the little things someone does for me and be happy,
I want to smile to myself when I read a text from a boy that I met,
I want to be bubbly and excited whenever something small happens,
I want to be able to open myself up to other people,
I want to be able to be happy with someone else,
I want to be able to reach out to others,
I want to be able to escape these walls I built,
All because you hurt me,
I want to,
Fall in love again,
But every time someone catches my eye,
I get a glimpse of a second chance,
To fall in love,
But the hurt you gave floods my mind,
And that glint of hope,
Turns into cynical thoughts,
And skeptical views,
All because of,
You

to the one
glumplum May 2017
To the one I loved,
To the one who broke me,

Thank you.
I'm happy now.

sometimes
glumplum Nov 2018
Nobody wants to admit it but we all miss our ex.
Because its one person that used to fit so well with you,
Somebody held parts if you that you can never get back.

So yes, sometimes I miss you,
Sometimes I miss how we could make each other laugh so easily,
I miss discovering new shows with you,
I miss how you talk about movies,
I miss how we compared our notes after watching something,
i miss how we threw around jokes so comfortably,
and sometimes we laughed because it was funny,
but usually we smiled because we were happy,
I think I'll always miss the way we knew each other so well,
Until we didn't.

People change, feelings change,
but sometimes I wish we didn't.

I'll always have a piece of me missing,
Where you fit in just right,
And sometimes I don't think about you at all,
Sometimes you invade my mind.

Sometimes I miss you,
I hope you're doing okay,
I hope you're laughing at something right now,
I really hope you're happy,
But mostly,
I hope you miss me sometimes too.

timeline of us
glumplum Mar 2017
I liked to believe that at some point in the timeline of us,
You really did love me,
But the more you said you did,
The less I believed you.

too many questions
glumplum Mar 2017
The reason I asked questions was because I couldn’t bring myself to believe you,
It was the same question, just different words,
Maybe I knew what your answer really was,
I just didn’t want to believe that it wasn’t me.
Not anymore.
Or maybe it never was.

— The End —
