Permanent stars
Ironatmosphere Jan 2014
If I was lost in space
I would spend my days staring into the stars
And my nights basking in their shallow glow
Until finally the stars would be permanent fixtures on the inside of my corneas
And I could throw myself out in the oblivion
My last breath slipping away
My body becoming stardust

and then (10w)
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
I missed him all weekend
And then
He wasn’t there

A painting on a wall
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
He hung the world like it was a painting on a wall
He stared at it from afar
He shook his head
He said he don’t want to go back there, not at all

What's wrong with me?
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
You’re a **** every day
But I fell for you anyway
You insult me like you’re trying to win a prize
I write poems about your eyes
You said:" I hate you"
I want to date you
What's wrong with me?
361 · Jan 2013
Grey
Ironatmosphere Jan 2013
Your eyes
I used to think they were grey
I didn’t see it
The black and white rainbow
The sulking mist
The cold ice
The foggy sky
The dancing moonlight
The filthy snow
I didn’t see the beauty
In bleak, depressing things
Till I fell for you

Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
I have wonderful imaginary conversations with you all the time.

Liquid Silver
Ironatmosphere Jan 2014
The water is so still
It looks like liquid silver
I wonder
If I dip my toes in it
Will I disappear?

Fall
Ironatmosphere Oct 2013
Fall is beautiful
Every leaf
Cracking
Breaking with color
Exploding
Like fireworks

Dying
Ironatmosphere Nov 2013
It’s hard to realize that we are all dying
I am dying
With every breath I take
With every step I take
I get closer
I just hope that I will live all the seconds I have left
I just hope that when I die
I will have done almost as much living as dying
From the moment I took my first breath
I was dying
From this moment
As I take this breath
I will
Start
*Living

Who ever I was, I'm gone
Ironatmosphere Oct 2014
I don’t know what has happened to me
I am not the person I became last year
I am not the person I was when I became me
How could I lose myself so fast?
I barely had time to open my eyes
Before I was gone
What happened to the me I had become?

Let's pretend
Ironatmosphere Aug 2013
Let’s pretend
The thick layer of tape isn’t there
Covering up the cracks
On the newly manufactured heart

Let’s pretend
Until the tape
Yellows
And falls off
Like dead skin
352 · Jan 2014
Come Find Me
Ironatmosphere Jan 2014
This year
My goal isn’t to find love
This year
Love will have to find me
352 · Sep 2013
Hold on
Ironatmosphere Sep 2013
The earth is spinning so fast
The air is pressing me back
I have to lie down
And hold on
Please
Please
Don’t let me fall off
350 · May 2013
A heart clean of feelings
Ironatmosphere May 2013
I hated love
The love I felt for you
But now it’s gone
And I kind of miss it
All that is left is numbness
I am numb

My heart has been sterilized
It is clean of feelings
And maybe, just maybe
It’s better this way

Riot
Ironatmosphere Apr 2017
My mind is a prison
But why did I have to start a riot?
346 · Jan 2014
Dear K
Ironatmosphere Jan 2014
I feel happy for you two, I do.
But not happy enough to want to stare at you for two hours straight
Waiting
While you hug and play with each other’s hair.
I don’t need to be reminded that I am alone,
That nobody wants me,
In the most painful way possible.
I see what you have
And I want it.
So,
The next time you ask me to go for a walk
Please, just wait till you can bear to leave each other’s arms,
So I don’t have to stand there
Waiting and watching,
While my life gets shorter and shorter,
Constantly reminded that
Nobody wants me.
Nobody
At
All.

if I die young
Ironatmosphere Mar 2017
If I die young let me be the sadness
Let me be the thing that contrasts the light
Let my death be beautifully tragic

If I die young let me be your inspiration
Let me be the thing that gives you strength
Let my death rebirth you like flowers in the spring

If I die young let me be your comfort
Let me be the thing that calms the waters of your stormy heart
Let my death remind you that we are all made of stars
If I die young know that I will always be with you
Know that I want you to be happy
Know that I want you to thrive
Please know that it is enough for me if you live your fullest lives
Even if I died too young to live mine

Infinite star
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
Hello infinite star
Shining brighter than everyone else
Admit it
You’re the one who rules the world
Everyone is blinded by you
They don’t see you taking all the power
It makes you shine brighter
They don’t see it, so infinite you’ll be
342 · May 2013
Don't give a damn
Ironatmosphere May 2013
Honestly
I don’t understand
Why the hell you give a ****
Let them think whatever
They probably don’t even do
I’m sorry
But for most
There are things
More important
Than you
341 · Apr 2013
Secret
Ironatmosphere Apr 2013
It’s a secret
That I love you
It’s so secret
I didn’t tell you
I didn’t tell my friends
I didn’t even tell myself
I just thought you should know that...

caged
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
I'm caged.
The present doesn't belong to me.
But the future does.
In the future I’ll be free
If I ***** it up
I’m *******
And I’ll hate myself forever.

Cold Dark Night
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
Cold dark night
Spread your mighty fright
Envelope me with thoughts of despair
In the morning I’ll pretend you were never here
337 · Sep 2017
pale
Ironatmosphere Sep 2017
I feel like ripping off my skin
Tearing piece after piece of pale off
Letting my raw exposed flesh breathe in the sunlight
A snowfall on the asphalt
335 · Feb 2013
Ever present
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
You’re an ever present ghost
Haunting my mind
Rushing pictures of you
Making me blind

Thoughts of you
Paint my dreams
Making ever present pieces of art
The melody of you
Beating in my heart
331 · Sep 2013
the end
Ironatmosphere Sep 2013
I’m *obsessed with the infinite
I’m obsessed with forever
I’m obsessed with the never-ending

But I don’t believe in the infinite
I don’t believe in forever

Everything has an end
Good or bad
Everything
Is
Going
To
End

Nothing but Air
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
You used to be my best friend, even though I wasn't yours.
I knew you only cared about you,
But I had
No one else.
In the movie that was life
I was only an extra
When I refused to accept that, we grew apart.
I made a conscious decision
To cut you out of my life.
And so did you.
I thought we could still be friendly.
Exchange a hello, or maybe only a smile, when passing each other in the street.
You didn't.
You walked straight by me.
Like I was air.
Like I was nothing.

wish
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
Spinning fast
High up in the air
One golden penny
Smashing against the surface
Diamond colored drops everywhere
A wish sent out to the universe
A wish involving you

My glass heart
Ironatmosphere Jan 2013
My heart
He used it as a ball
Even though it was made of glass
With every kick came a crack
He did his best to destroy it fast
With a final kick it cracked
A gazillion pieces
Spreading in one trillion directions
Spraying all around
Making wounds no one could see
He shattered me
328 · Oct 2016
on
Ironatmosphere Oct 2016
on
I switch on every light in my house
Making it glow like a star in the night
In the hope that you will find me
Or that the absence of darkness will make me feel
Less lonely
Less broken
Less like there is a hole in my chest
In the place where a heart should beat
325 · Jun 2013
I wrote you a letter
Ironatmosphere Jun 2013
I wrote you a letter
A love letter
I decided to send it
So that you would know
That somebody out there loves you
But I just couldn’t
Find
A
*******
Stamp
323 · Apr 2013
Love letter
Ironatmosphere Apr 2013
She stood there waiting for a love letter
That would never arrive ...

...because it had never been written
Ironatmosphere Apr 2013
They say you fall in love.
But you don’t just fall down,
Scraping your knees.
Love smacks you
Hard
Right in the face,
Leaving
A huge
Invisible
Bruise
All over
Your soul.
320 · Sep 2017
fascinated
Ironatmosphere Sep 2017
Lately I’ve been fascinated by evil
As if the heaviness inside would be better of as darkness
Because if it was then maybe I could take these stones
that are weighing me down
And throw them far, far away
Removing them one by one
Until I was finally weightless
Floating
Free
320 · Feb 2013
Yellow Sky
Ironatmosphere Feb 2013
Hair caught in mouth
Shouldn’t be what love’s about
Staring at the yellow sky
Every time I realize you don’t love me I want to cry
Wishing I was dead
Grabbing a blanket
Going to bed
317 · Mar 2013
Run
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
Run
Run
There’s no one stopping you
Run
Just try to get away
Run
Till the edge of today
Run
Till you reach tomorrow
Run. Come on ... Run!

Listen carefully
Ironatmosphere Nov 2014
This song is about realizing the sun is shining
That deep down there inside you is a calm
There is a happy
There is a great big world
And the sun is shining
On you
And everything you’ll ever do
This song, it is for you
It exists only for you to go out and grab life by the shoulders
And live it
Live it
Live
Live your life
This song is telling you to live your life
Because you can
And you want to
Because you are living
Your life
This is inspired by the feeling of "Welcome Home, Son" by Radical Face
I haven't actually listened to the text, the feeling is too powerful
317 · Dec 2013
one single flower
Ironatmosphere Dec 2013
In the corner of the street
Where the mustard sun has yet to shine
The ground is crumbling
Cracking open
by the force
Of one single flower

echo
Ironatmosphere Aug 2013
I don’t love you anymore,
but
the echo
is still there
from when I told you I did.
Not that you were listening

My morning routine
Ironatmosphere Jan 2013
Turning on the machine
Crushing the bean
Filling my body with caffeine
This is my gasoline
I don't actually drink coffee.
309 · Oct 2013
Winter came too soon
Ironatmosphere Oct 2013
On the day of the first snow
I say farewell
Waving goodbye to the autumn
I welcome the cold
The muted colors
And the sad beauty of everything
That is dying

If ever so slightly (20w)
Ironatmosphere Jun 2013
I took pictures of my eyes
And what do you know
My pupils were bigger when I thought of you
What a surprise …

Nothing
Ironatmosphere Oct 2018
I don’t write much anymore
Words no longer work in my favor
I don’t even know how to talk to people
I can’t seem to figure out small talk
I am boring
Everything I say is boring
My life is hollow
There is nothing to say
Nothing to write
Nothing
Just quiet
I am quiet
I have nothing to say
I am nothing
nothing

Never ending sea
Ironatmosphere May 2013
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I’m the sun in your universe
And I’m happy
But then I realize
The sun
It’s just
Another
Star
However brightly
I might shine
I’m just
One
In
A
Sea
Of
Never ending
Beautifully twinkling stars
Ironatmosphere May 2013
This is a piece of my inner core
Please take it, please like it
And I’ll give you more

A thousand pieces
Ironatmosphere Feb 2014
I hate to describe myself with just one word or tell someone my favorite anything
I am more than one word
I am more than one thing
I am a thousand different pieces
With just one you can’t ever see the full picture

I am more than one piece
If you want to know me you have to lay the puzzle
I will never be one word
I am a thousand different pieces
286 · Mar 2013
Surely you must feel it too
Ironatmosphere Mar 2013
You must know
How could you not?
My eyes must scream for you
They must scream how much I want you

You must feel it
How could you not?
You must feel the sparks that electrify me
Every time our force fields split and surrounds us both
Making a bubble
Cutting us off from the rest of the world
Surely you must feel it too
284 · Mar 2014
Spring
Ironatmosphere Mar 2014
I want the sun to appear on the sky and bury me in a blanket of rays
I want to dance while it turns the ground into a zebra
Stripes everywhere I step
I want to feel the fresh spring air smell the right amount of cold
I want to sing while shadows dance on my eyelashes
And I want to run
As fast as I possibly can
Till my face is as hot as the sun
and I can
finally
taste the spring
284 · Mar 2014
Never mind me
Ironatmosphere Mar 2014
Never mind me
Standing in the shadow of your love
Basking in it as if it was sunshine

Never mind me
Just let me soak up all the excess warmth
Emanating from your pulsating hearts

Never mind me
Living of the love that belongs to you
As if it belonged to me

Never mind me
Taking all the love I can find
It’s how I survive
283 · Mar 2017
Hidden Hell
Ironatmosphere Mar 2017
In the most beautiful of places
Oceans made of mirrors,
a sky made of glass

In a golden forest of green
hides
a hell

Screaming souls
trapped in cages,
feeding on their own bodies

Their entire existence,
A dance
of pain

One
Ironatmosphere Mar 2014
One
You broke me into a thousand little pieces,
Because you would be happy with just one.
And now that you have it
You will keep it forever,
In a blue wooden box under your bed.

That smile on your face will now stay permanent,
Because you know that
Without it I can never be whole.
And you like your things
Just a little bit broken.
You took a piece of me
and I'm not sure
you'll ever give it back.
