told me his name rhymed with Robert.

never did
tell me

would be the way 
   
he touched

what is happiness truly.
Ann Nov 2018
a sixteen year
old me went
on a search
one day.

maybe she was
broken. maybe she
wanted to prove
that it

exists.

she never did
find what she
was looking for.

all she felt
was temporary bouts
of feelings from
people.

satisfaction
sadness
anger
loss

a twenty year
old me still
holds on to
that search.

I didn't really want to structure the top part of the piece properly ("as much as i do wonder")  cause I really want to give you the feel of how it's in my head and you know how thoughts can be messy sometimes.

to somewhere far away.
Ann Oct 2018
As her
legs dangle
in the moon lit
water

she sits
cross-legged staring
at her reflection
in the clear blue
waters

she carefully rolls
her white sleeves
touching gently
on the scar
the jagged line
which runs till her elbow

softly touching her skin,
trying to catch
her past.

she wonders
if he's still
searching.

she sobs
all too quietly.

she raises her
hand forward
carefully removing her
wedding band
throwing it
deep within
to somewhere she can't catch.

as her legs
dangle in
the waters

she sits cross legged staring
at her reflection
dreaming about

the world in front of her
and all the goodness
it has to offer.

                                                         maybe. i'm just being

Ann May 2019
she sits at the
back row of class. can you lov...

can you still love her?
the curly haired girl
who wears thick
black glasses. the one
with the dusky skin tone.
she doesn't have the
perfect thigh gap nor
does she fill her pores
with expensive makeup.
her friends are not the coolest.
reading and doodling are her
fav hobbies. would you still
be around her?
also she was never
popular like your gal pals.

can you
still love her?

Forgotten polaroids.
Ann Nov 2018
As the city lights glows,
with each hour passing by
she finds her life ticking away.

The blues and red
tinges trying to shadow each other,
she looks at it with a
strange mixture of happiness and guilt

She reaches her hand towards,
the neatly stuck polaroid
on the window pane.

Clutching it tightly,
on her chest
silently sobbing.

As the city lights glows,
she sleeps on the carpeted floor

often sipping on glasses of wine
with each hour ticking away.

how would the

or

have that warm
fuzzy feeling
within
wherever i traveled.

when someone slowly
disappears
bit by bit

and then
the,

hurt rush pasts

sweetness a distant memory.

Ann Aug 2018
I love
how
poetry
connects
p e o p l e
with
faces
I haven't
met or
seen before.
I started writing three years ago when I found it hard to process all my thoughts around people & I guess writing did help me but I didn't realize it to that extent  that time. Stopped writing for a while and got back into it again. I love how words can touch our hearts.when people can't sometimes, probably one of the few reasons why I appreciate reading poetry.

i saw a
little girl
today.

me beautiful.

maybe
all we  
need are
more moments
to remind us
we are
beautiful
just by
ourselves.

Fingers moving
slowly touching the
metal ridges.

dust forming on her
fingers

less bothered she continues
watching them.

Forced to and living alone
with a white bed
and her mind forever
playing games.

It's time, they call out.

she pulls back her hand
as if,

breaking away from
a thought.

Her mind quickly
puts her in another situation

different people
yet,
same empty emotions like
every other day.

neatly tied together with a note
stuck that read, sorry in a sloppy
cursive way. resting on the
on the chair like it was given
couple of hours ago. paintings of
their love hung on cream colored walls.
i've always wondered what it feels like to step onto a crime scene. just felt like writing this as lately i've been watching too many crime documentaries. entirely a figment from imagination btw.

She breathes softly,
on the
window pane

leaning against
the hard glass

her eyes
moving,
with the
flickering,
street lamps.

She notices him
again

like every other day,

moving,
ever so swiftly
braving along,
the cold winds
rushing past

his hair,
slightly covering
his deformed
ears.

Her fingers feels
numb,
against the
hardened glass

she falls
down,
sobbing
tears with guilt.

She places her
forehead,
against the
cold glass

feeling herself with him.

The church bell,
chimes

sobbing harder
silently making,
a prayer
for,
her son.

The street lamps,
flickering
yet,
again with a
warm glow,
surrounding
itself.

The old woman,
making her way
along,
with him.

He stands,
looking above
where
she,
had left.

The church bells,
chimes

striking twelve
midnight.

It's Christmas already,
says the
old woman,
dragging him with
her,

just like thousands,
of others
braving through
the freezing
cold,
on one
Christmas eve.
I wrote this a long time back, probably like two years ago. Hope you like reading it :)

It was love.
Ann Jul 2018
it was love.

we laughed
we touched. 
we held hands
we made love
we had sweet kisses.
we spoke of beautiful things
we saw each other at our
              w o r s t


where’s that feeling now? 

                                                       we’ve become strangers
                                                       too fast 
                                                       a little too soon.

                                                       we hardly talk. 

it was love
a really beautiful
one.

Forever, but in the memory.
Ann Oct 2018
someone asked me
what's it like being
in love with someone
who writes?

the person will
silently observe
all the tiny details
which you keep into

constantly

imagining,
re-imagining
what and how it feels
like to be completely
by your side

and then

writing all what
they've felt by this
beautiful touch of yours
into words.  

but really,
at the end it's the
person who inspired you
to write this piece,

that'll forever exist
somewhere in your
memories.

no longer
felt herself
with.

days were
hard
nights longer.

she fell asleep
again after

to a place

happy ||

sometimes
she dreamt
of

pretending
