Incense and candle wax
Roaches and hookah haze
**** my panic attacks
Numb me into a daze

Guitar strings and piano keys
Gentle breeze and rustling trees
Whispering secrets to my soul
Filling the void patching the hole

Skinny jeans and baggy shirts
Long hair and gentle skin
It heals all of my hurt
The environment I am safe in

Your eyes and soft subtle smile
Content to just stay for awhile
Let my fingertips dance along your arms
Unaware of notifications and ringing alarms

This is my Heaven my Nirvana
My heart talking not the marijuana
You are my drug without the crash
Each passing moment gone in a flash

With you every second is a lifetime
Each one worth repeating
These are simple lines put in rhyme
I just want to feel your heart beating
Again feeling silly writing about a girl.

Dance as the Sun slips away,
and as the night drain by,
we slowly decay,
into a sweet, sweet lullaby.

The stars won't appear,
When they know you're about,
Because it's you who they fear,
Knowing they can't glow as loud.
I like Netflix
And poems
And i bet ppl judge from my dp

I sit down by the waterfront, it's evening
the tide washes over my feet
it mimics you in every move it makes
it rushes to me then suddenly retreats -

If there's one thing I know about the ocean,
the same I will hope for your heart,
the sea always finds its way back to shore,
can we find our way back to the start?
Based on Cathy Cassidy's "Bittersweet", simply altered it slightly and posted it because this verse makes me feel things

I walked into a shop today
the one across my street,
it was a quiet and timeless and quaint little place,
which sold odd lovely treats.

Quirky trinkets like teacups and lockets
could be found in this rabbit hole,
vintage gems like books and records
would be on display to show.

It was in this whimsical garage sale of a store
where I stumbled across a washed-out picture,
of a maiden dreamily blowing a kiss to the floor
with the reflection of December.

On the back of this picture
I could see faded scrawls,
of what I could assume was the story
of the maiden who blew a kiss to the floor,

"Lucy met a boy today
on her trip to the grocery store,
she was trudging through snow, wishing it was May
when suddenly he made her heart soar.

She locked eyes with a boy of eighteen,
two years elder than she,
he slipped her a wink, made her feel like a queen,
and made her heart skip a beat.

She fully intended to blow him a kiss
but hesitated a moment too long,
his friends swept him away and the chance was missed,
and so she had to move along.

The boy with brown eyes who tossed Lucy a wink,
she never saw him again,
but he'd never left her heart, to this day, she thinks
'If only I broke my chains.' "

It’s astounding how many stories of this nature
the shop across my street holds,
hidden in rustic teacups and pictures,
they could all be centuries old.

All these tales of never taking the leap
always end in remorseful regret,
because those who were shy now weep and weep,
times like these we can never reset.

If The Tale of Lucy had taught us a lesson
it would be to risk the fall,
so blow the kiss to all or none,
for the greatest risk is to risk nothing at all.

She was a girl; outspoken.
She got her heart broken.
She wore a beautiful dress filled with unseen; harsh words; scratches
And under that dress lied her heart sewed up with patches.
the truth is pretty ugly.

Prologue:
Once upon a time, I had three guy friends,
whom on which I could always depend,
pair by pair we could've conquered the world,
with nothing but our little fingers twirled.

Chapter A:
The first boy, Boy One,
our journey had begun,
in a classroom of twenty four,
when both of us wanted more.

He was loyal and loving,
devoted and caring,
but everybody could see,
he was falling in love with me.

I started to put galaxies between us
the teasing and comments grew vexatious.
So, as expected, we grew apart,
the very first injury of my indecisive heart.

Chapter B:
Then after that came along Boy Two,
the second boy wasn't very good with rules.
But, I guess, that was what pulled us together,
here's to hoping this round would be better.

We used to be in love, Boy Two and I,
and after we were over, we never walked by.
We blamed each other for breaking our hearts,
but little did we know, fate didn't want us apart.

We reconciled after being thrown in a class,
but this time as friends, no longer treading on glass.
We became attached, inside jokes and all,
precisely why nothing prepared me for the fall.

The night before his birthday, I promised to call,
"I'll wish you at midnight, or not at all".
His careless reply hurt like a stab in my chest,
'Sorry, I'm calling her,' he confessed.

The betrayal cut through me like a knife,
I could feel him slipping through my fingers, not once but now twice.
Since then, I've been replaced as his best friend by her,
lesson number two has now occurred.

Chapter C:
Boy Three was the friend who was always around,
I'd see him here and there but he'd never seem to make a sound.
Suddenly, one day, we realized we grew on each other
addicted to thrill of walking the line between friend and lover.

Boy three and I would keep each other on our toes,
we'd savor the ships 'cause hey, whatever goes.
The romantic tension was obsessive and electrifying,
but it blew up in my face, and sent me flying.

During this period, I befriended a group of seniors,
who were all laughs & wits, it was nothing peculiar.
However, Boy Three got terribly protective,
we had an immense fall out, both of us too sensitive.

We somehow turned against each other,
silently stabbing and pushing further.
He'd spit about me to his clique,
making everyone doubt me, as we speak.

We said words we could never take back,
and hurt each other beyond repair.
In our hearts, we knew things would never be the same,
thus the third lesson has now taken its place.

Epilogue:**
This was the story of my three guy friends,
whom on which I could always depend.
Once upon a time, I had three guy friends,
but honestly it doesn't matter, I lost all three in the end.
Not a very good one, I'm afraid. Just a little something to let out the pressure building.
