Just Me R
I dipped my fingers in still waters
And watched the ripples of my intrusion

she watched her move
gracefully and quiet
she moved with purpose
but she remained silent
her eyes betrayed her though

HOLLOW eyes pierced into mine
they reflected my future
they dug out my past
i stared back at the endless pits that seemed to draw me in
and reached out a hand to save us both

i touched glass because i was looking in the mirror
she was my reflection and her touch was cold
her tears trickled down her face
sad
angry
confused

we stared endlessly

*If I were a poem
I’d ask you to fold me up
and put me in your pocket,
then at the end of the week,
toss me in the wash
with the rest of the clothes

And when you find me later,
smudged and smeared,
ripped and tattered into
little unrecognizable pieces,
don’t worry about it,
I was already like that
I have been notified that this poem was plagiarized and posted on Poetfreak by someone using the name Blurry Face. I can assure you, this is my poem.

Once
there was an abandoned house
with cobwebs
and spiders
as its guests
It felt empty for too long

until
one day
there was a lost boy
who found a place to stay

And even if the boy
could not stay much longer

the house continued to be his shelter
and he continued to be its guest
guest (n.) someone who pays a visit

I'm running out of tears
I'm running out of sighs
I don't want to be afraid anymore
yet I don't wanna fight

Thank you for everything
that's making you say sorry
Thank you for giving me so much to remember, sorry for giving you things you regret

Let's not break our usual chains
just to be jailed into a new one

*My love, liberate

More often than not
I've had enough of love
Underpaid and over spent
Giving out on giving in

Like a clock with no hands
A nail twice over bent
Tattered and torn
Useless and worn

Like a car with no brakes
Too late for mistakes
No room to breathe  
Through the wants and needs

Like building on a fault line
An eradicate moth in flight
Shaky at best
No place to rest

With lost hope in hand
All that is left
Underpaid  and over spent
Giving out on giving in

I am tired
of both wanting to stop
and of wanting for more
