You
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
You
A rose is a rose
For you are a rose
More beautiful than
any rose in the world
I wrote this when I was 5 year's old for my mother.

Moving On
Tessa Tyler May 2023
I tried to fight for you five long years
Did I ever have a chance
You called me names
Put me down
Made me think it was all my fault
I was there for you through it all
But you were not for me

I never asked you for much
Nothing interested me
But a hug here
A kiss there
Hold me when I was down

Now I'm not around

UnMasked
Tessa Tyler Jan 2023
You show everyone your mask

            You convinced us your happy

Playfully picking

                        laughing

                                   smiling

                                                loving

Anger falls into play

                                    You're gone

I never felt so hurt in my life

                                                You lied

Betrayal has come

               You have been unmasked

Bacteria:
Tessa Tyler Oct 2021
Bacteria is a disease
We know of that
You can't prevent it by wearing a hat
A poem from my 7Th grade Science class
I thought it was funny 🙂

The unspoken questions
Tessa Tyler May 2023
I saw you walking my way.
My heart beat faster and free.
I'm excited to say.
Your upset when you came to me.
I told you your to young I need i.d.
You smiled at me
You said your too old.
I told your never to old.
You walked out
I looked about
Your smiling at me
Are you the one
Have I won
You make me feel free

Confusion
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Try to talk,
no one hears me.
Getting closer,
does nothing.
Just standing near,
makes me nosey.
Feeling pushed away from everyone and everything.
My confusion sets in.
What did I do wrong?

Gone
Tessa Tyler Oct 2021
Laying here staring at the stars.
I wonder if  your staring at them too.
My heart was so full of love.  
When you were near.
Lying to myself.
You will come back.
Everything will be OK.
Our lives will turn back to normal.
Tears falling from my face.
Feeling so
empty,
and
broken  hearted.
Not understanding why you left.
Heart breaking once more
knowing that your gone.
Unanswered questions,
I know I will never get the answers to.
What did I do wrong
to deserve any of this?

Oblivion
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Endless falling
No words to speak
Even if I spoke
You can't hear me
For you've been lost
Far to long
Without even a song
to sing in your heart
No more tears will you
Shed for your loved ones
We're really never dead
Just lost in a state of mind
with friction that always grinds
Even you have been lost in oblivion
What is oblivion
Even I can't answer that
Written by my 19 year old daughter

Running away
Tessa Tyler Jun 2022
Lost in my dark forest of madness
Shapes and shadows form
Voices from a far untouchable place
Are they hallucinations
No it's you trying to pull me out
After all this time
Not sure if you are real
I don't want to fall
You hurt me once before
I have to try
I must run away

Times not on my side
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
So many poems
So little time
All the words
In my head
Yet none come to pen
Time fading away
While you grow everyday
More poems stuck in my head
I hate writer's block

Strength
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Standing in the field peppered with golden flowers. I feel you coming close. The warmth of you exceeds me. When you touch me I feel alive. I'm full of energy, and ready to stand taller. You give me strength.

Dark Forest
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Twisted trunks and winding paths
There's no telling where you end at
Dark shadows at your side
A never ending night of terrors in the mind
The dark forest is no place to fight
Unless you want trouble and distress
Even black cats stray from parade
Witches dare to play in homage
Where creatures ready for malevolence come to play

Broken Promises
Tessa Tyler Jun 2022
It starts with a simple smile
Flirting
Hugs
Kisses
Promises made.
There
is
no
more
flirting.
Hugs
Are
Almost
Nonexistent.
Have
To
Beg
For
A
Kiss.
Promises
Are
Always
Broken.
Like my heart.

The City of Twilight
Tessa Tyler Apr 2021
The City of Twilight

In a dark midnight hour
In a city far away
A girl stands confused
In the mist
In the fog
The lights shine like stars in the sky
She looked around to gather her bearings as she heard a hollowed shreek
Coming from something not quite real
not quite right
Something stepped out from the mist
It looked like a demonic figure straight out of hell
As if it beckoned me to prevail a message
Welcome to the city of twilight
Written January 2004

-Lonely-
Tessa Tyler May 2021
I reach for you but your never there
I try to talk with you but nothing comes out
Try to touch you
Your not there
I have your sent all over my clothes
It's intoxicating
I miss you
My heart is breaking
Where are you now
Oh that's right
Your with her
This was a bad time in my life...2005

Lost and Found
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
I'm flooded with emotions. Memories come rushing back, he's found. My heart is racing. I'm so excited! I have his number. Now I'm nervous. What if he doesn't except me. To many years apart. I'm scared, don't know if I should call. Being spontaneous, here goes, I called. He answered. Oh my,  I am so nervous again. I so surprised. He's happy, he has a family. Tears of joy invade my eyes. I'm so happy!
I lost my brother. Then we were reunited.

Just you and Me
Tessa Tyler Jun 2023
I love the way you
Make me feel
Talk with me
Pull my chin up to look at you
Kiss me
Taste on my lips
Holding me in your arms
Hands caressing my skin
Touching my body
Love me
When I'm with you I forget about everything around me
Just you and me
I thank everyone for being so supportive of me through the bad time I had gone through. You know who you are love all of you!

My Heart
Tessa Tyler May 2023
You come to see me every night. You text me everyday. You wake me up with good morning I love you I miss you text messages flowers and hearts. You sprayed me with your cologne, it never goes away. I think about you all day and night. I miss you from the moment you leave me to the moment I see you again. All I want to do is be in your arms and tell you how much I love you. You have won a special place in my heart. You are special to me and you say I'm special to you. Nothing ever impresses me except for you. You have my heart and are winning over my soul. All I want to do is be with you baby. How to tell you so. I feel so special now that I don't know how to explain. You have ***** thoughts going through my head all the same.

BROKEN
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Tears of sadness dripping out
Cannot control it
My heart is racing out of control
I feel broken beyond compare
I am loosing the fight
I don't know what to do
I'm lost in the dark forest of my mind
No where to run
No where to hide
I feel my heart breaking
No one to save me from this dark obis

Love Is Confusing...
Tessa Tyler May 2023
I get up in morning to your text messages. Wishing you were here, or I am there.
I work work work all day.
Sending sweet nothings to you.
I love you with all this fragile heart.
I miss you every day.
I tell you what's going on in my day.
Hoping to see you come in, but you are busy too.
I get surprised with a fuzzy warm feeling when you are near.
I get depressed when you're gone.
You are always on my mind.
I want to be with you all the time.
With a simple smile.
You've stolen my heart like a thief in the night.
You blushed when I told you that you are handsome and sweet.
I see something in your eyes you have for no one else.
It makes me fall even deeper for you.
These feelings scare the heck out of me.
I thought I knew what love was until I met you.
It's not enough for me.
I can't control it.
I'm so confused,
I don't know what to do.
What should I do?
I wrote this one for my daughter who is in a very confusing situation

A fact about me!
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
I will always put everyone before myself. Before my feelings, my mindset, my stress levels, and everything else. When our dog died. I put my sadness aside to comfort everyone else. I take my feelings, and bury them deep down inside. I pretend everything is a okay, when it is not. I always feel like an outsider, a nobody, and I start to believe it. I tried to keep to myself so  my stress don't run to other people. I keep everything in a bottle, inside for no one to find.

Nothing
Tessa Tyler Oct 2021
No hatred,  No hurt  

                         No fear, No love

               Nothing  

Nothing here

                Nothing  there

                                Nothing anywhere  

                                                       Not a soul

                                            Not a heart

                               Not a person in  sight

                Every step I hear no noise in
                           this vast emptiness

     Much like I feel

                           There is nothing

Trust no one
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Life is a sad winding road
Don't know which way it's going to
turn or go
People say they love you, but show hate instead
Real sweet to your face
Lie behind your back
Your heart aches and yearns for the
ones you love
Yet theirs don't do the same
You get taken advantage of every day
Reaped of everything you work hard for
Getting nothing in return
Then the day you get sick
Your ready to go
They all show up to pay their fake respect's
To take what you have left
You die
It's done
They won
Trust no one

First
Tessa Tyler Oct 2021
First Date
.
First Kiss
.
                First Love
.
Hearts race in a open field.  

Wind Blows
.
                         Crickets Chirp
.
Rivers Rush
.
Then bodies  collide  
                   Nothing else matters.
Her skin touches him,
And his to hers.
All they
                  Know ,
                                Think,
                                              Feel,             ­                 
          Believe,  
Is each other.
While  their bodies move,
              Loss,
Sadness,  
                  Regrets,
Are nowhere to be found.

Sketch
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
He watches her in daylight
See's her face at night
Two long thoughtful days go by with her not in sight
He draws every perfect
mark
Line
Curve
And shape
He goes around asking if they'd seen the lovely lady
They take a look
Seeing a sketch of a perfect woman
Not a line
Mark
Or curve
Out of place
It looked as if a moment of time had been sketched apon the paper
No words given to him, but
Words run in his head
Dreadful thoughts flooded in
Sadness grew apon his heart
When he hears a woman call his name
He sees her lovely face

Accepting who I am
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
What I write is how I feel
It comes from deep within my soul
I have done everything within my power to make you happy
Still you never seem to be
I have found that in return you have taken my happiness thrown it away
Torn me down
Belittled me
Taken everything I am
To make yourself feel better
My only outlet is what I write
Weather
               Good
                           Bad
                                     Sad
                                              Happy
                                                            or Calm
Accept me
This is me and part of who I am

The fight
Tessa Tyler May 2023
You flaunt her in front of me
Showing me you moved on
It's easy for you
You tell me I was a mistake
You tell me I'm not worth your time
I loved to tell you
It was my time that was waisted
Not yours
But
Without you
I would not have moved on
Now
I'm happy
Smiling
Full of love
You throw a bomb in my head
You want me back
I don't want you
I found my happiness
I'm in love with another

Mother Nature's Bipolar
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
Sun shines on the water so blue
The sand warm to the touch
White shaped clouds high in the sky
Water lapping the shore
Very serene
...
Clouds turn grey
Wind starts to blow
The water laps in waves
Higher and higher they come
Lightning strikes on the water
The air is cooler
Rain drops fall fat and heavy
The storm rages hard and long
Emptying it's full belly

Waves calming down
Wind turns into a light breeze
Sand is wet and compacted
Rain slowly leaks from the clouds
The sun show's off in the distance
Rain clouds dancing around the light
Rainbows shine bright

Message in a bottle
Tessa Tyler Sep 2021
I'm a piece of paper
with no importance
Just another drift
Out at sea
A sailor without
A purpose
It's all a mystery
With a glass ship
I've fought great wars
But it doesn't matter no more
Since no one looks
And See's I'll continue
On the sea in my
Ship made of glass
A message in a bottle
Is all I'll ever be
Written by my 19 year old daughter
