you said you’d always be here –
(* *** is not available)
but I always knew you’d not.
because of all the times I cried for you
you’d be a bit caught up.
(at the tone, please record your message)
of all the times I needed you
I was told to leave a message.
(when you’ve finished recording you may hang up)
and this time I am telling you,
I'm giving up.
and you my friend,
have lost
me.
(or press 1 for more options.)

immersed
Isabelle Oct 2018
I am at the peak of the mountain,
I am here
now.
The world around me is endless
but still surrounded by forest.
right now
the rest of the world is gone.
I only have my dancing bare feet,
fearless of the jagged wood beneath me.
I only have the final warmth of the
sunset colors.
the pink lingers for me to have
my moment.
I am here.
I have now.
I will take this moment
with me.

a long lost friend.
Isabelle Oct 2018
the sun has almost set
the world is turning to another shade
of blue
and gray.
as I sit at the end of the water
I see a bunny make her way from the
forest edge.
I know it’s not her.
I don’t believe in reincarnation.
even if I did
why would she come back another bunny?
and still.
I sit
and smile
and
hope
it’s her.

Isabelle Apr 2018
I’ve come to realize that sudden is better.
Even when I’ve had all the time to face the facts.
I’ve come to realize there’s no such thing as a perfect goodbye.
Because even after you’ve said all you’ve ever wanted to say,
you’ll still be up late
wishing you said
One more thing.

Always make time to say goodbye.
If you love them, let them know.
Isabelle Apr 2018
we get stuck in school and our job routines.
all these days will end, just the same.
and we'll look back barely remembering any of it.
we're living in the past -
the past of our future.
we're living the stories we'll tell our children
and we'll think hard back on -
trying to remember the details.
simple moments full of content, and happiness.
moments when the sun was setting just right, laughing so hard in the car gasping for air.
in no rush -
enjoying the sky, the stars, and the glow that took lightyears to arrive.

Isabelle Apr 2018
I fell in love with you the way I loved the sky.
At first it was instant.
But as I gathered more knowledge,
You took me for surprise.
Even when the sky seemed pretty small after all,
I learned more about your darkness and your stars.

I search for pieces of you
Isabelle Nov 2016
without thinking of you and our last goodbye,
all beneath the pastel painted sky.

Our love story
Isabelle Feb 2016
was short.
Yet,
you were able to give me
a lifetime of love.
thank you.

Love is so limited.
Isabelle Nov 2015
From the town you grew up in,
To the college you first attend.
You fall in love with who you find.
But what if there's still someone out there, so good for you, yet so far away.
And maybe that's the beauty of it,
Maybe you'll never know.

The thing about him
Isabelle Nov 2015
was that,
for the first time I didn't want to die.
For the first time,
I loved to be alive.

How do you not see
Isabelle Nov 2015
I am still,
so
in love with you.

3 months ago I told you
Isabelle Nov 2015
"I couldn't miss you anymore than this".
But I was wrong.
That missing keeps on growing.
Now, 5 months since I last saw you.
And I miss you, everyday.

I always want more.
Isabelle Oct 2015
Even when I had you,
the absolute best.
I believed there was better.
Now someone is lucky enough to have the best.
But it sure as hell isn't me.

I start the little fights.
Isabelle Oct 2015
Always thinking it'll go back to normal,
better than ever.
I don't know why.
Something about me always craves
destruction.

Oh the things I'd do,
Isabelle Oct 2015
just to spend another moment with you.

"Yes. I still want you",
Isabelle Oct 2015
he said.
"But she's here
and you're not."

memories attatched
Isabelle Oct 2015
just a song.
simply a melody.
how is it capable
to make me feel
all this?
Isabelle Oct 2015
It's about how too much distance,
brought us together.
And unraveled everything we knew about each other until
we knew nothing.
And at once, we became strangers.

I Don't Write Anymore
Isabelle Oct 2015
I thought,
Maybe I only wrote when I was in love.
But you see,
I still am.
It's just now he's gone,
And I can't seem to find those beautiful words anymore.

It's Okay
Isabelle Oct 2015
Because someday,
You'll forget his scent.
And someday,
You won't reread those letters.
And someday, those memories will be so faded, you'll question what was real.
And while he'll never mean nothing to you,
You'll move on.
You know, maybe you never will find "better".
But at least you'll find something different.
Something,
Easier..

Nothing
Isabelle Oct 2015
I was the one who watched you
Stray from the one you loved.
Each night to her, you'd say,
"I love you".
And now she means nothing.
Which makes me wonder if
All of this will soon be
Nothing, too.

The Kind Of
Isabelle Oct 2015
It was the kind of love that kept you up until 2 am.
The kind of love that always kept you reaching for one more kiss.
It was the most beautiful kind of love.
The kind of love in fairy tales.
The hardest to keep,
And the hardest to let go.

The most tragic love stories
Are the ones where,
There's too much love
To match the too much
Distance.

He was the Galaxy
Isabelle Aug 2015
But how could someone like him possibly love someone like me?
For he was incomparable to the whole galaxy.
And I?
For I was a barely one star,
A merely lit star.
