Homesick again
Marie-Lyne Aug 2018
I miss the walls of a city
that used to bother me
I miss the way people
would made you feel
I miss how much
love was found in unusual places
I miss seeing my father
everyday for a long period of time
I miss the lack of conscience
How everything seems weird at
first
For whatever reason
leaving what was once completely natural
was unbearable at first
but livable at last

Le spectacle
Marie-Lyne Nov 2021
When family reunites
They are supposed to talk about their needs
What bothers them
What make them suffer
It’s not a spectacle
Where you only talk about the positive things
Just to show that you’re strong
Stop acting
It’s not a tv show

What is worth living for

as holly as visiting

Little poems
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
I made a home out of you
But you deserted me

If only years went by
Without disappointments
And giving away
Useless second chances

Screens
Always ruined
Relationships

To be able to speak
What's on your mind
Is impossible nowadays

I don't want a perfect ending
I just want to spend
A day with you
Where I can feel completetly safe

We make plans
to feel more in control

But maybe
not knowing,
being confused

having alternatives
is simply better

Nor a writer

When I doubt myself
When I want to express
Either my sadness

Shine
Marie-Lyne Sep 2021
Don’t let society
Put you in box
Where you repeat patterns
Of how you’re supposed to live
Don’t listen to all their negative voices
You alone are capable
Of complete greatness
You can accomplish your dreams
Don’t rely on anyone’s presence
Be there for yourself
Your relationship with your soul is
The most important
Improve your capabilities
Get out
Have fun,
Travel and see life as it is
A chance to change your destiny

Let there be love
Wherever you planted your regrets, sufferings and endless betrayals
Do not keep track of everything
But let go of all this weight
You can choose what you deserve
You are never stuck

A mix of me+you
Marie-Lyne Aug 2017
like cigarettes
***** drinks
mixed with long unnecessary conversations

like the sound of the rain
the smell of coffee
mixed with poems and books
written by
unknown authors

like your skin
you perfume
mixed with the sound of your voice

like sunsets
loud music
mixed with long walks

like snow
pure desires
mixed with dark thoughts

like first times
new friends
mixed with discoveries of unvisited places

like photographs
vintage clothes
mixed with us holding hands in museums

like big sweaters
messy hair
mixed with feelings of belonging and complete confidence

like summer nights
the moon
mixed with old memories

like children
the simplest pleasures
mixed with church bells

like dreams
Freud
and unknown tomorrows

like broken hearts
sad songs
and depressive moments

like movies
sacred movies
and self-discoveries

like new words
dictionaries
and Albert Camus

like love letters
platonic relationships
and endless scenarios

like rivers
a sense of reborn
and other perspectives

Ce calme dans les yeux

De sentir
Ne te débarasse pas de tes sentiments
N’aie pas peur

A lazy afternoon
Marie-Lyne Jul 2021

Ce qui manque
dans nos relations amoureuses
est la spontanéité
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
Hello?
yes
Can you hear me?
yes
Listen to me
I am not here to tell you that we’re going back together
So why are you calling?
I just needed to express myself
Okay go on
You mean something to me
I can’t stop talking to you
You're my friend, my friend from school
I want us to talk
But sometimes I feel like I don’t mean a thing to you
That’s not true and you know that
Let me continue
I don’t know why I keep going back to you
and you’re the one that hurt me
I guess I don’t want to lose you
and I don’t know if that’s a good thing
But listen carefully
I am not your psychiatric not your nurse
I am someone who has difficulties in their life as much as you do
So please understand me
I just want good vibes without feelings
I just want us to talk as friends that never lost their friendship despite the distance
Do you understand? Are you listening?
Yes I am I really like what you said even if there are some things that I don’t agree with
It doesn’t matter at least I am saying what’s on my mind
The conversation ended there
But actually it never happened
I created it to justify myself for talking to him again
That’s all

I am strong when I ...
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
You see this world is so big and gigantic
but somehow to feels so small sometimes
There are so many people out there
that feel the same as we do
So don’t be afraid to share you writings
You can make someone happy
You can let them realize that someone from another country
is feeling the same way
but he isn’t able to express it
Be honest and say everything
It’s not about good grammar
and phrases that rhyme
Its about pure and simple thoughts
It’s about expressing yourself without limits
It’s about loving yourself enough to write about what bothers you
I am a strong human being when I decide to talk about my weakness
I am strong when I tell you my fears
I am strong when my faith is more important than anything
I am not giving a lecture about how to organise yourself
I am saying what’s on my mind
And that’s what you should do in order to be free

My story is very simple

Not to be sad was a hard task

Vast are the emotions that I want to escape
At last, I don’t want to associate death to pain

Second chances
Are only given
To the ones
That deserve it

Missing someone
Doesn’t always mean
You have to go back

When you move on
You’ll know why you relationship never worked out

What a mess
Going back to what
Makes you sad

As devasting as it is
