You and I
have a story
behind closed doors,
sneaking at night,
stealing kisses,
secretly holding hands.

But you and I
both know
this story
shall never be told
not even to a single soul.

The whishing of a morning wind,
Rustling within my brain.

Warmth brewing beneath my lips,
Pulsating heart of dark rain.

The more greed my heart forms,
The disgust in myself is held strong.

I'm prideful with the fluid of love,
Yet nobody, cares for my waterfall ride.

White dress shimmer in the sun,
Black hair filled with stars.

A skin of history feels so old,
Mapping out journey forevermore.

A stiff upper lip to hold pride,
For not only me and who I am.

Feel my toes within the seashore,
Aloha Oe.

A hui hou kākou,
Are words a younger me once meant.

As my fruit withers,
To renew the soils again.

A hui hou kākou,
Are words I mean again.

The flame of our world is beautiful,
Creation of warm atmospheric euphoria.

To feel an emotional caress of my cheek,
Followed by a gasp of sun kisses on my head.

He came for raindrops falling on rear mirrors,
I never intended to see the ocean so blue.

She came here to remind herself more of you,
But it isn't what I feel she wants to do.

For a life so bright to come into mine,
Like a candle flame dimming away.

Do you really want this life I give?
I'm shocked you never stayed.

I heard life has been rough for you,
Is it bad I assumed a self-inflicted wound?

I was told to be kind but is it bad,
I felt hurt by the fact you
tried to rip me apart too.

I cared deeply for where I am,
I did this all for my family, the love that I hold,
You tried to take it from me.

Don't you realize how cruel,
You really have been?

You nearly ripped my world apart over jealousy.

Like it didn't hurt for me to walk away,
You've made mistakes.
Louisa Coller Oct 2023
Crisp senses, a sensation I crave,
I feel I still sense your face.

Your eyes, bright and blue,
A pair so beautifully unique to you.

The winter is approaching my cold heart,
I know you're not here but my heart begs.

A man of my mind, a curse of my making,
Strings attached to my weak eyes.

The tears are falling, what can I say?
I let the boy inside you run away.

It breaks me everyday.

I've tempted my rebellious mind,
But I lost my sense of wrong and right.
That can be abused in a world,
of white/black thinking.
Learning to be an adult,
Not a kid innit.

I don't want to be the right and wrong,
I'm a deep grey mush trying to grow up.
Your poison filled me, like a sadistic goodbye,
I'm sick and tired of wasting my own time.

Hold them closer, people ask me,
But I ain't here to suffocate nobody.
Try to analyse my life with checklists,
But I'm managing fine, just let me.

Not everything can be written down,
I just wanted to learn to let it all out.
I feel like a fool living in this game,
I wonder how much my palms will take.
