If I was a mountain

That soared towards the sky,

With craggy snow caps

And stormy grey eyes-



Then you'd be the clouds

That swaddled my peak,

That silenced my thunder

When I tried to speak.



If I was the earth

The desert, in fact:

With arid dry soil

And mud, baked and cracked-



You'd be the rain

The downpour that soothed;

The balm to my bruises,

Relief to my wounds.



If I was the Moon

In the indigo night,

With stars as my blanket

And silver; my light-



Well you'd be the Sun

Just always behind

That lent me your glow

And caused me to shine.

I can't recall
The writing on the wall
It wasn't me who put it there

Our time went fast
It wasn't meant to last
It disappeared I don't know where

You came to me
Asked me to set you free
Knowing I would because I care

Cut it in half
Love is a photograph
A painful memory to share

Everything felt so right in that moment
So why did you have to take the magic away?
Tell me that you didn’t want me
That kiss was magical, so sweet and gentle
But now the words ”I don’t like you like that”
Is all I can hear inside my head
It’s getting me to my breaking point of tears

I cried, you cried
But what does that matter
I know you weren’t the one whose feelings got crushed
My heart, you made it flutter
Before you stepped on it
Until it broke.
It just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

But somehow I still like you
Even though I know I shouldn’t
My mind tells me no.
But my heart says there’s a hope
Please just tell me no.

Make me hate you and not love you
Make me forget these feelings I have
Cause it hurts too much to know I love you
While knowing you love like me
Not even close to that.

Lets just be friends
Lets forget this memory
Lets just pretend it meant nothing at all
Lets just say my heart has had enough.

You claim you love me
But I'm not sure what to think
What to believe
Cause might your intentions be

But in our heated moment
Those words made my heart flutter
So I said it back
Hoping that it wouldn't bother

But since I don't know if this is a joke
I'm feeling scared and weightless
Hoping my words didn't scare you
And that you won't let it all go
Let me go

Craving your touch
Craving your kiss
Craving your closeness
Craving everything that you do

Craving your laughter
Craving your smile
Craving our holding hands
Craving everything that you do

Craving the simplest things
Craving all your love
Craving you all the time
But not having the strength to speak up

You.
You who owns a huge part of my heart.
You who I love.
You who I want as close to me as possible.
You who I want with me as often as possible.
You who makes me smile, by just the mentioning of your name.
You who I miss.
Miss terribly much.
You and only you.

But I'm afraid.
That if I start sharing my utter feelings,
you would take your distance from me.
So I might miss you,
but sharing how I fell is not an option.
Not when my fear is telling me you would run.
Run if I told you I miss you.
Miss you so much it hurts.
Cause it hurts to be apart from you.
And that also scares me.
So...I'm afraid.

Together
Officially, it's not a joke
Finally I get to call you mine
No longer just a hope

Can you really love yourself?
If yes, please tell me how
Cause I've been searching for a way to learn
To learn not to hate every fiber in my body
Every little imperfection that I have
Cause Imperfections is all I seem to find in myself
Nothing perfect or anything right
Only flaws and dark light deep inside

But I wanna learn
I want this to end
To end all the tears
And sad hours ever spent
I want happiness and eternal love
I want to accept myself for who I am
I want to be free of eternal sadness

This world is a chaotic one
everyone wants to have fun,
and yes, I do too
but sometimes I just want to rest
sometimes I just like sleeping best
engulfed in another world,
a fantasy filled  dream
a realm where things are make believe
in reality,it seems like everyone's noisy
and I just want to breathe, release
I can't stop the noise
Especially that of a certain boy,
So I'll just keep on searching for peace
Hi! This is a poem I wrote, and I really hope you liked it. If you did please comment! I really appreciate it, as I am new to the site! Thank you so much!

The moon watched her as she roamed the meadow,
And the lake would not let her go.
There was a force pulling her in,
And she had a desire to dive but not swim.

She stood on the edge of her feet,
And if she flew down, she could be complete.
With a sharp cold wind brushing her shoulder,
And the water seemed closer and closer and closer.

When she hits the water, she won’t feel pain,
And she’ll know that she will never feel again.
She floats in the water down and down,
And she feels peace knowing how to drown.
I don't really know if I like this one, I'll probably edit it later.
