now what
lattesandpokez May 2023
you made me promise not to leave you, but you did.

and maybe it makes me the dumbest person in the world but i still intend to keep my promise.

i hope one day you will come back.
you don't know this but you own my heart.

unattainable, yet again.
lattesandpokez Jan 2023
maybe if i make myself useful,
you will feel the love i've had for you;
one that i've been keeping solely in my head.
maybe in another life.

travels // terrified
lattesandpokez Feb 2021
... and may the abundance do not starve you, dearest.
safe travels.
and maybe i will be there to greet you one last time, as we need not bid another farewell, forever.

d.s.p
lattesandpokez Feb 2021
one does not push, as one does not pull.
soul intertwined, at its rightful place.
one walks, transcending into the light way up.

one is patient, gentle, and nurturing.
as one prizes one's gift from the Man Himself,
one guards and gives back tenfold.

one's presence bears an abundance of comfort.
as one's presence lights up the dark,
one's presence readies the other for the unknown.

may one be basked in the warmth one deserves,
and may it protect one,
as the other would.
idk what this is. all i know is that, i am very lucky.

funny.
lattesandpokez Dec 2020
don't you think it's funny that,
it's you who look at yourself in the mirror,
staring at yourself,
seeing yourself,
every single day,
for as long as you live.

yet often times it's you who fail to see your own worth.
i love u all ok and you're all worthy

belonging.
lattesandpokez Oct 2020
in a constant search of
what to do,
where to go,
who to meet,
when to escape,
how to build a home.

why can't I feel like home?
idk. i just want to belong somewhere. feeling like i should be somewhere else every second ***** me up.

distance is cruel
lattesandpokez Sep 2020
it broke me when you told me about the misery that you're in
it broke me that all you ask is some sort of comfort,
and yet i can't give it to you
it broke me that i can't go there and offer my shoulders,
whispering "it's gonna be okay"

eventhough you and i both know it's not gonna be
i hate misery.

they say, too much of anything is bad for you.

so when i realized i have been sad for too much and it slowly destroyed me,
i picked up my guitar, belted out every song i knew.


because, too much of anything is bad for me, right?
too much emotions is bad for me.


they say, get a healthy coping mechanism.


so i did
when i realized i have been sad for too much and it slowly destroyed me,
i picked up my guitar, belted out every song i knew.


because too much of anything is bad for me, right?
too much guitar developed calluses on my fingertips.


now that, should be a warning enough.


they say, too much of anything is bad for you


so when i realized i have been sad for too much and it slowly destroyed me,
i picked up my guitar, belted out every song that i knew.


but i forgot that too much of anything is bad for me.

until i finally realized,
all the songs lost its meaning,
and all there is to feel,
is my sadness.


but you know what they say, too much of anything is bad for you
but this time, i can not prevent it

so when i realized i have been sad for too much and it slowly destroyed me,
i surrendered
idk what i'm trying to say here. i'm sad. nothing works.

relief/closure
lattesandpokez Sep 2020
i think closure is achieved when,
you used to get hurt because of them,
and now you're wishing them the best

and you mean it.

have a good life.
i wish you well. good bye. thank you for showing me exactly what kind of person to avoid.

celebratory.
lattesandpokez Sep 2020
sssshhhh, did you hear?
it's an amazing day today!

so rise, freshen up!
open your window, light a cigarette,
brew yourself a cup of coffee (or tea, if you prefer that)
freshen up!

because whatever's in line for you today,
the world is out there, welcoming you with open arms!

so raise your glass,
let's toast to a new day ahead!

and when the night comes,
the stars and the moon are going to look down at you smiling,
congratulating you for doing great today!
i love you all, you're all doing great! idk what this poetry is about **** but aye have a great day everybody!

thank you.
lattesandpokez Aug 2020
this writing is for you,
those who have always seen the best in me.

this writing is for you,
those who think i am worth something.

this writing is for you,
those who have unknowingly saved my life.

this writing is for you,
so you know that i will keep on finding my purpose in life.

this writing is for you,
so you know that you mean a lot to me,

this writing is for you,
so you know that i will spend the rest of my life repaying your kindness.

this writing is for you,
from me, who is a nobody, but will be a somebody one day.

because of you.
some of you are my friends for a couple years, and the other is my crush. thank you for saving my life.

How Could I?
lattesandpokez Aug 2020
I had to let you go,
you, who had reminded me how to love
you, who had made me feel things for the first time in a long time
you, whose presence had made me see colours again.

I had to let you go,
you, for whom I would wake up early in the morning
you, for whom I would put a mask on
you, for whom I would run an extra mile in somebody else's perfect body

But I had to let you go,
because despite everything, I would still be at fault
because despite everything, I would always  have to keep trying
because despite everything, I would never be enough

So I had to let you go,
because how could I ever be enough?
when you went for the skies, I went for the oceans
when you went for the calm, I went for the storms
when you went for the sunshine, I went for the shadow

So I had to let you go,
while I still remember how to breathe
while I still smell the flowers
while I still have myself

So I let you go,
someone, to whom I made a promise not to leave
someone, to whom I vowed to never intentionally hurt
someone, with whom I thought I would spend the rest of my days

but then you grabbed my hands,
looked at me with disbelief,
with tears flooding your eyes, you whispered,

"how could you?"
how could you ask "how could I" when all you showed me was how bad I was for you, no matter what I did?

— The End —
