i know what it means
kgl Jul 2013
i know what it means
when you say you're not ready
i know how you feel
when you want to go steady
yet lately i'm feeling
i'm living a lie
i am waiting in silence
whilst trying to get by
on the whisperings of romance
the blurs in my head
maybe i'm what is missing
maybe you're what i dread

i would follow you to the ends of the earth
just to gaze upon your face
to trace the lines of your cheek
with the back of my hand
your eyes are a sea of green and they welcome mine as
our fingers interlock
on a blanket
made of purest heaven

we collided in more ways than one.

a moment.
kgl Jul 2013
the clock next to my mantelpiece
no longer keeps the time
its pendulum is silent
with the ghosts of its last chime

the dust it slowly gathers
on the remnants of my mind
my hands they mark the minutes
as my memories unwind

like me, this clock is frozen
trapped on a single day
whilst my heart becomes an echo
of the things i didn't say

bedrock bay
kgl Dec 2018
when different in city,
far in distance, we keep afloat
with a tenderness that anchors us
unwavering, in sight of shore
we move with the current,
rising and falling,
finding our bedrock
on the ocean's floor
i can't wait to see you again

there is an exquisite kind of despair
especially reserved for those with a secret
that possesses the mind with a violence

if loose lips sink ships
why am i drowning in my silence?

i told you.
kgl Jun 2013
i told you, ‘cause i loved you
and i thought you’d understand
you promised you’d stand by me,
keep me safe and hold my hand
but then i came to realise
you were never there at all
you never stood beside me,
just sat back and watched me fall.
i told you ‘cause i needed you
i really thought you cared
i never dreamed you’d push aside
the love that i declared.
forgive me if i’m wrong
but i thought we were meant to last?
i feel like i don’t know you-
just a stranger from my past.
is there just a joke here
that i have simply missed?
or am i just another name
crossed off, upon your list?

story of a girl
kgl Jun 2013
let me tell a story
of a girl who fell apart
her life was spent up trying to fix
her lonely, broken heart.
she tried to turn her life around
but faced an awful shove
she suffered from a fatal thing
that fatal thing called love.
it ate her up and spat her out
this girl, she'd done no wrong
she didn't deserve the pain
of simply wanting to belong.
for one's love to love another
is a heart wrenching idea
but she managed through the sickness
though her mind, it was not clear
there was no one there to help her
she broke down, for all to see
and thus i end my story, as
that lonely girl was me.

Tonight.
kgl Apr 2014
tonight
you told me you loved me.
a torrent of words came crashing,
spewed from a meaningless drunken mouth
whose sincerity i cannot judge to be true.
so wearily, i close my eyes to the world;
a halfhearted attempt to prevent
this impending storm from ripping me apart.
i feel it now bubbling inside me,
suppressed emotions from a time
when you told me i gave you a reason to live
but gave me no reasons when you left me to die.
