Gramma

Graciela Gonzalez May 2021

Gramma

If I could have a wish come true,
a dream that'd come to pass,
I'd ask to spend the day with you,
and pray that it would last.

I'd run to you and hold you close,
We'd laugh and smile again.
I'd listen so intensely,
As you tell me how you've been.

When time was up I'd hold you close,
Not wanting to let go,
You'd smile and tell me, 'see you soon'
And somehow I would know

That while it's very hard to wait,
One day that time will come,
I'll join you there forevermore,
When I too am called home

My wish may go ungranted,
But it always will be true...
I'd trade many of my tomorrows,
For one yesterday with you.

7

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived

Me

Me

I was the girl who'd give everything up to help people who didnt deserve even a minute of my time. I was the girl who hid her feelings when she really shouldve gotten help. Im the girl who doesn't want to go to school because of bullies. they won this fight i give up let them do as they will.

She Can't

Graciela Gonzalez Mar 2017

She Can't

An emotionless pit of skin and bones
Sunken eyes and pupils made of stones
She can't hear the judgement or grief
silently she sits with stares of
Disbelief
she can't understand what she feels or
say what she thinks
Illiterate emotionally, unstable and drained of dignity
Sleeps so sound she can't even hear her
dreams
life continuously surrounds her;
yet she can't seem to slow down
she can't remember where the last place
her sanity was found
dug herself into the ground just struggling to breathe
too lost in her mind to find the time to grieve
An empty shell of the soul the she used to be.
And no one will be on the other side
*WAITING

"I Never Meant To"

Graciela Gonzalez Mar 2017

"I Never Meant To"

"Babygirl, I never meant to hurt you"
but you always say that,
"Babygirl, if I would've known I would never have done it"
why lie?
"I never meant to make you feel unimportant"
but you did.
So, hears what I have to say
roses are dead violets are too im still in love just not with you,
you thought you hurt me,
and make me cry
but now i'm with this new girl
Simply because you have no class;
you can go ahead and kiss my ***
so sit around and talk your ****; ***** u and your little *** ****,
You think you can do better? cool story bro. I hope you get ****** from your new ***
you said you loved me and that wasn't true
Guess what, you got played too :)

Marry Me

Graciela Gonzalez Feb 2017

Marry Me

Marry me.
Let’s spend our week nights eating cereal on the floor
When there is a perfectly fine table behind us.
We can go to the movies and sit in the back row
Just to make out like kids falling in love for the first time.

Marry me.
We’ll paint the rooms of our house
And get more paint on us than the walls.
We can hold hands and go to parties we end up
Ditching to drink wine out of the bottle in the bathtub.

Marry me.
And slow dance with me in our bedroom
With an unmade bed and candles on the nightstand.
Let me love you forever.

Marry me.

Wilted Roses

Graciela Gonzalez Feb 2017

Wilted Roses

This is who we are,
wilted,
hurt,
We are all in a rough mental state
like roses in which are dying,
we are the last picked,
who wants a scarred girl and a wilted flower

Can I Tell You.?

Graciela Gonzalez Jan 2017

Can I Tell You.?

By the time I was your age
I'd give anything
to fall in love truly was all i could think
that's when i met your mother
the girl of my dreams
the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen

She said, "boy can i tell you a wonderful thing?"
I cant help but notice you staring at me
I know i shouldn't say this
But, i really believe i can tell by your eyes
That you're in love with me

Now, son I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things

Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
We'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice and too dumb to care
But, love was a story that couldnt compare

I said, "girl can i tell you a wonderful thing?"
I made you a present with paper and string
Open with care now im asking you please
You know that i love you, will you marry me

Now son, im only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things

Youll learn one day ill hope and ill pray
That god shows you differently

She said boy can i tell you a terrible thing
Seems that im sick and ive only got weeks
Please dont be sad now, i really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me

Slow,
I fell to the ground on my knees

Don't fall in love
It's just too much to lose
if given the choice
Then I'm begging you to choose
To walk away,
Dont let her get you
I cant bare to see the same
Happen to you

Now, son im only telling you this
Cause, life can do terrible things

Flower Love

Graciela Gonzalez Dec 2016

Flower Love

A Flowering Love
I picked a flower in May just to watch her blossom all for myself
Beautiful and brilliant I sat her in a glass on a shelf
I added water so she wouldn't go dry
Magnificence such as hers I couldn't let die
I watched as she grew
Time flew and flew
Her petals orange and blue like a vanilla sky
As she prospered and danced I noticed a change
Something very strange that caught my eye
Her stems became vines intertwined simultaneously with my poetry and life
In place of green,
She overflowed out of the glass in white sheets of paper
And it was there she made her illustration so divine
A perfect drawing of a heart
That turned out to be mine

— The End —
