My love for you feels like a failure
It's a killer
of an ache

Now with your spit still on her tongue
you'll come crawling back
But not today you won't

Today I am brand new
I am alive
I am free
& I am loved but not the poor excuse you call love

I'm surrounded by the love I deserve
Whenever my friends asks me if I got home safe
i know its love
Whenever my mom tells me to be safe
it's love
Whenever my sister asks me if I've slept these past weeks
i know its love

But you see here
Your love made me miserable
made me feel like a failure
and you know me,
failure means I didn't try hard enough

But as I start to think and open my eyes
I realize you are the failure
and didn't try hard enough

You were the mistake
not me

You're the princess in the tower.
You're the minutes in my hour.

You're the question and I'm the answer.
You're the music and I'm the dancer.

You're the lie and I'm the truth
You're the evidence and I'm the proof

You're the tear beneath my eye.
You're the reason that I cry.
Another mundane poem, but I like telling a story through poetry. Even if I have never experienced said poem :)

With choking back a sob, I knew* [you] were gone
So soon, you
[were]
But we all knew it was [bound] to happen
I was lacking of all what you wanted
And I just didn’t want
[to] move on
from what we had
Or did we even have anything at all
Maybe that's why we
[break] so easily
From every little thing
But with a heart like yours
I wished you stayed around longer
and kept saying that you loved
**[me]
Read it all together, and then the words in the brackets.

You said you cared about her, yet you told me that you loved me a few days ago.

I write these stupid poems, while you write masterpiece songs. All I ever write about are your dumb brown eyes, and you write about how life isn’t fair.

Which in all ways, you’re right about.

It’s not fair that she gets to hold your hand, when I can’t. She’ll never know why your fingertips are calloused but I sit here in my bedroom, knowing exactly why.

The scars that cover your legs are voiceless to the brain of hers, but they’re screaming at mine, knowing exactly what you’ve done.

I loved you, god, I loved you. You denied my caring for you, saying that I’m pathetic to even care about you the slightest. Funny how I still stayed on the phone with you, and was still curious about how your day was and how it went.

The night you had a bullet, there was endless of thoughts in my head, tears that were consistent. Funny how later on, I found out you were just stupidly high and I was just there, but I stayed, I ******* stayed because I loved you.

I’m the one who you’re replacing, but know this; my love for you is like my love for the universe, it’s forever expanding, and always blowing my mind away.

& while you read this, know that the calls, the messages, and the reminders of how much I cared, are still true to this day, even while your spit is still on her lips. But you, my friend, can never say you loved me, not even the slightest.

He's like the color grey on a happy day
******* up anything colorful
into a vortex of nothingness

His voice could put a baby to sleep
It's filled with dullness and talking cheap
Yet there's an edge of raspiness

His posture is slant
just like his old dying aunt
who can't get a grip
on life
just like him

His eyes could be full of life
But instead
they're boring and pale
and not as deep as the sea
that I wish I could write about

There are days where I deeply desire
to write about a beautiful man
who's filled with life
But yet here I am
writing about a real man
who knows what real life is about
and why there's no reason to be anything at all
