Budget

You've got your
Basic food needs
Shelter and warmth
Friends and family
Music, films, and games

You tell me
There's only
Enough for
The essentials

That there's
Not time
For me

I understand now
I'm not a
Priority.

l.v.s

back at it again with word generator poems

Double Standard

Don't look down
At me, lover boy
I can show you
Around town

Lead you through
The dark alleys
Of your mind
That you're
Far too
Afraid
To share

We can chat
And hold hands
The whole way

I wouldn't mind
The pitch-black
Inside you

But you always
Need sunshine
From me.

l.v.s

felt inspired listening to 'by the time you've finished your coffee' by korantemaa

Slow motion

I feel like
Every second
Is a
Time
Waster.

l.v.s

Just high thoughts 2020.

Hand picked

Flowers held out,
Wilted and rotted.
A momento from past lovers,
Arranged poorly.

Boy you must stop
With this
Childish hope
No one wants
A bruised bouquet
Please, just go away.

l.v.s and I.M

A friend was sharing some poems with me, the first part was a section of one of his poems that stood out to me. I added the second part to it because I was inspired.

Luke warm

You're the boy
I met in the
Summer rain

We were
Spinning
And laughing
Your hands
Slid to my waist
As if they
Belonged there

We shared
A moment
Sheltered
From our
Lives
Hidden
From the
World

It caught
Me by
Surprise
When people
Asked
About me
You spewed
Lies

I hope
I never see
You again.

l.v.s

Just feeling inspired while having a bath...
The warm water made me think 'summer rain'

Closure

There's not
Much space
Between
Where we
Stand

If we
Wanted to
We could
Reach out

I'd be there
For you
I'd hold you
In my arms

But you
Won't take
That step

Before I die
I want...

To know why.

l.v.s

I'm watching the movie ' All The Bright Places.' There's a scene where they're writing on a wall, filling in the blank after 'before I die I want' and that inspired me.

Memory Lane

I stroll this
Rose garden
Each plant
Represents
A previous
Love

The lusher
And brighter
The flower
The stronger
Our connection
Had been

In the corner
Are a few
Petite
Roses
These loves
Never
Fully
Bloomed

But I
Still
Cared
For
Them
