Secret Love
Matt Jul 2013
Prolong the journey to happiness
revisit the memories of converging paths
sighted images is what made these last
but we cannot be sure it is for long

Hear the woman echo
the cry of love and joy
praising a man's piece
the romance is their buoy

Faintly, I felt her touch at our last goodbye
unaware of anything around us but sheer sorrow
our eyes met and spark adjoined
our lips touched, raising an alarm in my heart

Promote the fantasies of malady
her deep dark secrets keep me near
of unspoken dreams, my lips are sealed

Along with her fingertips, dastardly teasing with suffice
her strawberry scented hair straight though sordid.
I still long for her touch, even now.

Unsent message
Matt Nov 2015
I'm just going to start off with this
a fairytale that was beautiful all filled with bliss
You and I is what I miss
I miss your touch and your kiss

Perfection was never found between us
but we created it but then we fussed
I got comfortable and lazy
fueled with bitterful lust

I lied to you hurt you but where did it end?
A broken heart, tissue boxes
Love that cannot mend

To wish that I was direct
is all that I should have been
acknowledged there were problems
where else I was keen

I lost my sight of you
I lost a part of me
Thinking this was a dream
believed to have gone green.

Now that you are gone
I know that it's over
To think you and I'd come to an end
I still wish upon a four leaf clover

It was both of us
things didn't work out
nature took the course
it's not what I'm all about

I wish i'd hit send
text you what i'm thinking
but i know it'd just annoy you
the hazard lights be blinking.

I know that if this went to your phone
Our love is absolute wreckage
but I'd type backspace before you'd know it
it's just an unsent message.
I guess I'm back at it again, this is my poetry. Everything I've written is all from my mind.

Pictures
Matt Nov 2015
Pictures last for centuries
Some still feel regret
Love, laughter, memories
For the feelings that never left

Tangible emotions
Enfold your heart and soul
Rewind back to the time
When love was warm as coal

Happiness at its pinnacle
All stars became aligned
Empty it was to be cynical
For love, you are sublime

Pictures are a sentiment
Feelings sealed in the heart
Liberated at the excitement
Tracing back from the start

Picture back in time
To a delightful happy me
Her cheek pressed up to mine
We smiled and count to three

It flashed before my eyes
For no love could ever outdo
After three years I realize
That love, I always loved you

Pictures only last for centuries
Take advantage never
Make fulfilling memories
So love can last forever

Memories
Matt Jul 2012
We all have memories
and they all seem to fade
a grinning face, a flashback
sleep is the resort where we can't evade

I begin to dream, and my mind begins to wander
hands buried in my face
sitting alone in a corner

Thinking of when we were together
when it was just you and me
kept my heart closed
but my eyes open to see

You meant a lot to me
every nickel and dime
now you're just a memory
wishing to turn back time.

Incomplete
Matt Oct 2012
It's effortless how I speak to you,
it's cause I speak a lot
but patience is a virtue
my patience close to rot

Your ravishing and your sweet unique scent
Fulfils and satisfies me just like your beauty to be consent
I'm not asking for a favour
Nor am I asking in command
But I just want to make you savour
And miss me like in a trance

What distinguishes my fire,
and love thats meant to be true
Why can't you miss me
instead of missing you?

Significant Other
Matt Sep 2012
Her and I hold a gaze very special
A smile with no exact meaning
I find myself out of nowhere
suddenly day dreaming

I think of your wonderful brown hair,
perfect as it falls down
Lost at sea is where my heart lays
You're now here and now I am found

Incredible excitement fills my entire body
as she wraps herself around me
A sense of security and love I feel
My significant other, you're all I need.
The poem is self explanatory, describing a girl very important in my life.

She Is
Matt Nov 2013
She is love from above
soaring higher than the sky
She is beauty across the oceans
you'll know if she walks by

She is my treasure
irreplaceable and charming
She is my heart
loving,  but not alarming.

She is my princess
cherishing and loyal in my eyes
She is my goddess
just beauty in disguise.

She is my protector
from all my sensitivities
She is my strength
when I lose my identity
She is my girl,
And that she will always be
Cause she is mine to keep
Forever, close to me.

can we ever go back?
Matt Aug 2016
Can anyone ever forget
that voice that made you smile
ever prayed for one last chance
but you're up all night in denial

Or did you ever regret
the day that you lost sight
when words were not enough
to make everything alright

When the cut is still deep
but your heart is still beating
can we really move on
when we know we're still bleeding

Can you listen to that love song
without your throat getting sore
when the bittersweet melody
makes you cry even more

Will we ever be the same
when our heart turns to stone
can we ever return,
To the love that felt like home.

The Beginning Of The End
Matt Dec 2015
Sit on that verandah
Pour yourself a number of glasses
Arms of the clock go ticking
Till this year passes

You wonder why she's not around
But you seem so indifferent
Miss her laugher? That audible sound?
You spent every single cent

Sharing memories, laughter,
Sights of her, let her go, let her fly
Clean the slate, free your heart
Lover 2012-2015 kiss you goodbye.

The moon
Matt Mar 2021
She spoke about the moon
Just like the way she felt about me
Loving from a distance
Never really understood her

The careful words stitched into a sentence
“doesn’t the moon look beautiful?” She says
Translated into “I love you.”

She spoke about the moon
Oh the way she said it melted even the iciest of souls.
She sure thawed mine.
I’m forever changed.

No longer envious
Matt Nov 2015
I can't help but to retaliate
But I'm not losing hope
My love will not eradicate
Me, he can't provoke

He won't love you the way I do
But will try to correct my faults
you know that I'll be more true
Our love has better results

I can love you better now
Better than he will treat you
Changed so much it would raise your brow
Never will I mistreat you

I matured over our breakup
Thriving through all this pain
Your value in my tears
Love is still sustained

If you come back I'd be grateful
This is only the beginning
Trust me to be faithful
Both of us will be winning

Don't give up just yet
We're almost at the line
My heart is ready, go and set
Spark back our love like a six second vine
This poem really captures the feelings I express towards my recent relationship. I chose "No longer envious" as the title to convey that there is no more room for jealousy because love will always be stronger if you are self-assured. I coincidently wrote a letter in the form of a poem to evaluate my love for my ex-girlfriend, in hope that she will notice that I've changed my ways. I also recently found out someone else is interested in her but I've taken nothing to heart, that's why I wrote "Our love has better results". This quote to me is really powerful in achieving my wanted outcome, though I know others are interested in her, our memories cannot be easily forgotten keeping in mind that the relationship a fruitful 3 long years.

To the audience reading this poem, I encourage that if you are going through a breakup, embrace the struggle. Do not listen to what others think about your decision. If you decide you want to get back with your ex after losing them then at the end of the day it is what makes you happy and what will make you go to sleep at night.

I quote "Spark back our love like a six second vine", to portray that not only did I find her extremely ravishing but it's also an analogy but also a metaphor that the six seconds when I first met her I knew that there was something special. It is almost like when you come across a really funny video you want to replay it over and over again and it will never ever lose it's charm.

Finally, if this poem were to ever get to you just know that I'm still trying. I acknowledge that I've hurt you and I've lied to you so many times, but the only way to show you I changed my ways is for me to show you things can be better now. I no longer want to associate our breakup as a depressing moment since it's encouraged me to bring back my desire to write poems again, to start expressing myself more in words and magnify it in actions.

Numb
Matt Mar 2016
Almost 8 months since I've felt your love
Shrouded with doubt and hope
Love suicidal and dealt with
Drowning alcohol through my blood

Out into the city
Dealing with my past
How the memories still intact
The wish to make things last

Rain falls down pelting on my skin
Love was harder than this
Like the tears that ran down our faces
The pain we both have been in

8 months, since you went away
I still wonder of the hope of your return
I'm numb, lover.
I'm numb to the pain.
The love we shared, it still burns.

Untitled
Matt Dec 2015
Crisp shots flushed face
Carrying empty liquor
Fixed eyes no surprise
We're not saints we're all sinners

Pray all night in disguise
Just another believer
Pride aside faith out of hide
You didn't love me you're just a cheater

Cheater of feelings, not with somebody else
Confuse my love for you
Hatred is all I felt
Pain and agony expired truth

Go ahead live your life this ain't the end
Breathe the dream
I'm not here if you come back
You'll wish it had never been

Mistreat trust unfaithful lust
Solution alcohol and grieving
Heart like metal corroding into rust
Live like I'm happy though I'm decieving

I was waitin' hoping, you'd come around
**** waiting it's hopeless
I know you're out of town
How could you be so selfish?

Time
Matt Jul 2015
Time can be the treasure for moments.
It cannot be bought or sold.
Whether it is slow or fast
Young people will start to grow old.

It can make a seed bloom to a flower,
A spark into a flame.
It can only be spent or wasted,
Permanent or could stay the same.

So if you have time
To make a change for good
Don't let it pass by
Or it will stay where it stood.

Love remains
Matt Sep 2019
5 years gone too fast
A memory, your scent, your voice
My love from the past
Your laughter plays in my head in white noise

The feelings are unknown
No way of identifying
From a teen I am now grown
Love is terrifying

They say time heals all wounds
But baby I’m barely breathing
Got me thinking from dusk till noon
I’m left without any reasoning.

I’ve changed a lot, I put up a fight
One thing kept me sane
Your love went out like a light
But mine remains the same.
Writing this at 3am. Can you believe it? I’ve seen other girls, but really.. Love for only one girl can remain. I still love her. I hate that I do because I don’t know who she is anymore but my feelings won’t go away.

Search
Matt Jan 2019
This year all of us want to find hope
We want to find love
Here we are with sufficient time to elope
We patiently wait for our diamond in the rough

Decisions made upon belief and trust
Our heart will never falter
The last thing we ever want is lust
The life we choose we cannot falter

Do they appear at the end of your search?
After timeless 5 minute rapport?
Maybe you should approach them first?
Or will you simply ignore?

Go ahead and have faith
Decisions aren’t made by their due
They are made my fate
They are made by you
Happy new year everyone, I’m back and it’s time to spread some hope and positivity

bittersweet goodbye
Matt Apr 2020
A sleepless night as I lie awake
Searching vastly for a reason
Murmur of a distant memory
Incoming yet another season.

A meal shared with a smile
Welcoming touch, it didn’t last
Jealousy kept close but far from denial
Left with nothing but the past

Vulnerabilities, anxiety, pain
Sharing a variety of emotions
Experiences, past lovers, promises made in vain
Little did I know I’d never see her again

Miscalculating an ardent lover
Simultaneously a sociopathic
Materialistic, manipulative
Herself above another

My interest sufficed
Despite no good things to gain
She had me bested
I could no longer be the same

Misty eyes while typing on a blurry screen
Willpower gained to sever the connection
Letting her go in a painful scene
A bittersweet goodbye
One more step in the right direction.
Hey guys, I’m still having a bad time with love. But thank you all for reading. For those that I follow, please don’t stop writing. You’re an inspiration.
