soft secret
gwenyvere Apr 2020
you didn’t mean for me to know it
yet i heard it whispered softly
between sweet salutations and the cut of the line
‘i do love you’
i hope you know, i love you, too
falling in love, again

down + earth = dead
gwenyvere Jun 2019
i would rather live
inside my head cause
down to earth means dead
promise when I die
you will plant a seed
inside my heart, the
anatomical
it will sprout and grow
i will be the tree
the lines of liter-
-al and metaphor-
-ical will blur in
death as they did in
life my branches will
reach to the sky cause
down to earth means dead

smile
gwenyvere Jan 2019
i don’t smile for you
i’ve always smiled at you
you should learn the difference
to tell between the two

i don’t smile at you
i’ve always smiled for you
you should learn the difference
to tell between the two

my shadow
gwenyvere Jan 2019
my poor shadow
she holds on so
tightly to home
she can't let go
i was inspired by a painting of a man leaving home, but his shadow clinged to his house. as someone who is leaving home soon, i feel that very deeply.

human ii
gwenyvere Jan 2019
when he arrived among us
in his dazzling golden saucer
we thought he was a little odd
his erratic tears and laughter

he wore his heart on his sleeve
for us he could only greive
but he wasn't human
he wasn't human
or was he human?

he went on desperate mission
when a child lost her balloon
he couldn't bear to see her sad
he searched farther than the moon

he put us all to the test
but alas, we were a mess
cause we're only human
we're only human
or are we human?

he saw a man hurting a girl
and he killed him in his rage
for daring to prey on the weak
but we tried him, threw him in a cage

we drove him out because he loved too much

fate
gwenyvere Jan 2019
i dreamed i saw the hand of God
carefully plotting out the life i never thought
was either fate or destiny
i'm not quite sure, but is that the word 'Hell' i see?

we'll pray meaninglessly
for things we'll never find
and try desperately
to understand God's mind

i'll praise the Father, Spirit, Lamb
for saving my soul, though it's destined to be ******
that man won't fight to light his days
because he heard that he's heaven-bound anyway
predestination is a horrifying theology if you think about it too deeply

human
gwenyvere Dec 2018
oh, how sad it is, my love

that in our entire race

the most human of us all

was a man from outer space
