In the distance
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
I stare at the sunset...
I see that haze of orange, red and yellow...
I see your figure outlined...
I see your curly hair...
I hear your laugh...
I hear your voice...
I see you walking toward me...
You disappear...
Mirages never last long...
You only see what you want...

My Sunflower
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
Too many people have asked questions about you...
The most important question they asked is "Why do I care?"...
I tell them because I see the good in you...
They always tell me I'm stupid or dumb for waiting for you...
I know that your love is worth the pain...
God this is so hard to write but I need to get this out...
I've deleted so many lines and words...
All I see is you and I...
In time that may change but at this moment that's all I see...
I have been sleepless...
I have been tired...
I have cried...
I have wanted your love since I first met you...
I see this beautiful woman that stands before me...
I see how fragile she is...
I see she has battle scars from previous wars...
She is a warrior...
She deserves a purple heart...

Walk by Faith
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
Life at times may be hard but push through it...
Life will throw many obstacles at you...
Life will spit in your face and laugh at you...
Life will call you a coward and watch you suffer...
Faith is what I rely on...
Faith is the key to success...
Faith will overcome any obstacle that comes in the way...
Faith will clean you up and smile at you...
Faith will call you brave and let you know that you belong here...
Life will give up on you before you even try...
Faith will never give up on you even in desperate times...

There are storms in my head that you used to calm down...
You were the eye of the storm...
Everything about you was so calm and beautiful...

Back and Forth
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
What do you do when you lose someone...
You pick yourself up...
You dust off your knees when you fall...
You wipe the tears away...
You suppress the memories...
You forget their touch...
You forget their voice...
You forget the things they loved doing...
All that stuff I said doesn’t apply...
You’re going to miss them...
You wish you could forget...
You want to move on but can’t...
You cry every night...
You miss their touch...
You miss their voice...
You miss doing the things they loved...
When you miss it’s hard to forget...

Lost
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
I stare at the stars and wonder...
They are scattered like my thoughts...
Surrounded by darkness...
Yet have light of their own...
A star showed me something I did not see...
You make your own light...
When surrounded by darkness...
Apr 2020 · 64
Another chance
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
You move on, forget and forgive...
You forget the pain they caused...
You forgive them for everything...
You forgive yourself for hurting them...
You forget your own damage you caused...
You move on toward the future...
If they decide to follow you, then let them...
Hold their hand and be happy together...
Hold their soul dear...
You damage it again that’s it...
They stepped in your life again...
Don’t take it for granted...
It might be the last time you see them...
Just remember everything falls in place for a reason...
I just hope you choose the right path...
Follow what calls to you...
Look with your heart...
Listen with your mind...
Feel with your soul...
Time is all we have...
Apr 2020 · 46
You
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
You
Poetry is how I escape my mind...
I’m finding it hard to write this...
I kept deleting each sentence...
I wanted to make sure it was perfect...
Like you...
I want to repress my memories of you...
My mind plays jokes and laughs at me...
It seduces my heart and pulls on the strings...
I lost the key to my soul then you showed up...
You were the skeleton key...
You opened everything in me...
Now all I have is a loose door with squeaky hinges...
Thank you for changing my light when it was out...
Thank you for jump starting my heart...
It was slowly fading away...
Now it pumps because of you...
Thank you for everything...

Flower Thief
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
I have this garden of flowers...
The variety is beautiful...
My sunflower was taken...
Please water it everyday.
Please give it sunlight.
Please nurture it.
I lost my Sunflower. Please help me find her.

Paradise
Andrew Gomez Mar 2020
The waves crash on the shore...
It buries everything under it...
The sand becomes soft...
Leave behind your footprints...
In time the wave will clear your path...
Look clear across the water at the horizon...
That warm glow behind the clouds...
Let it fuel your heart...
Lean towards it my sunflower...
In time everything will fall in place...
My Sunflower...

At last
Andrew Gomez Mar 2020
I’m at that
Moment where
Death seems right
And living is suffering

Right and wrong

I’d
Rather live with
The hurtful truths
Than beautiful lies.

Manipulate
Andrew Gomez Feb 2020
You come at me in my sleep...
I dream what you tell me to dream...
You control my thoughts and manipulate my movement...
There are these things I hear but don't want to see...
People tell me certain things that I ignore...
I put all my effort into you and yet I feel distant...
You tell me you love me but how can I be sure...?
I go to water you and help you grow...
You reject my thoughts and mind...
We are supposed to grow and become one...
At this point I fear not commitment but time...
Feb 2020 · 51
Guns and ammo
Andrew Gomez Feb 2020
I lay my life down but not with my soul...
I make ready my weapon of choice...
I can fit eleven in the clip and one in the chamber...
This ammo is designed to make you fear for your life...
A hollow point to make your soul vanish...
I pull the trigger and the life has ended...
Feb 2020 · 86
List of reasons
Andrew Gomez Feb 2020
You remind me everyday why I fell in love with you...
1.You listen to me
2.You care for me
3.You're BEAUTIFUL
4.You make me smile
5.You make me HAPPY
6.Your presence calms me
7.Your hugs are oh so warm
8.Your touch makes me feel magical
9.You remind me I can do this
10.You bring peace to my negative mind
11.You calm this wound up storm in my heart
This is just the beginning amor...
The list is endless like my love I have for you...
Feb 2020 · 75
Cloudy
Andrew Gomez Feb 2020
Would you leave without telling me?
My own shadow doesn’t even follow me...
Just go ahead and walk away...
Stop dropping hints...
Take that first step...
Then I’ll take my last step...
I hope this pain ends...
I hope I end...

Desire
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Always follow what your heart desires
It shouldn't matter what other people think
Your heart is all that matters to you
Put it through pain and suffering causes
Immense damage on yourself
Resulting in other ways of pain is useless
You can only cause pain to yourself if you
Let it happen
Push the negative aside and ride
With the flow the air has provided you with
The air will always guide you toward correction
Think of the air as "faith" or "destiny"
If it's meant to be it will happen
If not then the air will steer you correct
Follow your heart and not your thoughts
Never settle for average.

Sinner
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
A poor sinner is what I am
Asking and begging like the sinner I am
Always wanna pray for change but never do
A poor sinner is what I am to you
In others eyes i'm just a man lost in his own way
Like a fiend in the darkness ready to pounce
I subtract all negative feelings before you
That's how I know what a poor sinner I am
I lie to the face of people that care for me
A poor sinner can only be right for so long
All the lies you tell will be there to unfold
Before your very eyes for the poor sinner
Just like that a sinner is born again
Not meant to do what is right but wrong
Only time will tell if he follows the same path
Destined to be greatness but lacks character
Due to being a poor sinner at birth
We always find a way to become who we are
Some days it's hard for people because they sin
Some get by easy because it's a win for them
A poor sinner is what I am

Lifeless
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
What is this coldness I'm feeling...?
The last shutter of my breath drawing from my lungs...
The light fades away from me...
It came like a thief in the night...
So sudden but yet unexpected...
Its only goal is to steal what you hold dear...
Death is on the loose and picking victims...
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Where did I mess up at...?
When did you stop loving me...?
What caused this pain...?
Who else is there...?
Why did this happen...?
How do I fix this...?

All hail the Queen
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
My baby is my world.
She's the only one that keeps me grounded.
Her voice makes me stand still and quiet.
Just like water she fills my thirst.
I want to drink her daily.
She waters me like a plant and helps me grow.
When there are bad things growing she will trim.
I love the way she touches me.
Mentally.
Physically.
Spiritually.
She picked my crown up and dusted it off.
Her look has me stand at attention.
She calls me her king.
I will lay my life down for her like a king should.
She is my queen.
She rules the throne over us.
I answer to only her.
"My Queen? What is on the horizon for us?"

I’m Sorry
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
I'm sorry that I wanted to be with you...
I'm sorry that I'm not like your exes...
I'm sorry I wanted to be better than that...
I'm sorry that I show so much emotion...
I'm sorry that I fell for you...
I'm sorry that I ask all these questions...
I'm sorry I couldn't be the person you wanted me to be...
I'm sorry that you feel the way you do...
I'm sorry for ending this journey...
I'm sorry for ending your suffering...
I'm sorry for ending your pain...
I'm sorry I couldn't be in your future...
I'm sorry I was in your present...
I'm sorry that I even exist...
I'm sorry because you wanted me to be...
I'm sorry because I loved you...
I'm sorry because I cared for you...
I'm sorry I did right by you...
I'm sorry I caught feelings for you...
I'm sorry I'm not enough for you...
I'm sorry I want attention all the time...
I'm sorry you met my family...
I'm sorry that you slept in the same bed with me...
I'm sorry we shared memories with each other...
If I could take it all back I would...
I'm sorry I met you...
I'm sorry I was less of a person...
I'm sorry I treated you right...
I'm sorry I helped you...
I'm sorry I pushed you..
I'm sorry I wanted you to do better...
I'm sorry I wanted to see you succeed...
I'm sorry for all the promises I made...
I'm sorry for just being me...
I'm sorry we won't be together...
I'm sorry we won't make any more memories...
I'm sorry that I took my life...
I'm sorry...

Rest is for the wicked.
So I lay my head down in hopes of being at peace.

Dreams
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Dreams are like coma...
Except you can actually wake up...
Dreams make you feel different...
You feel the emotions that condone you to do things...
You give into them because it's a dream...
An alternate reality where you live...
This dream state is connected wildly...
Jan 2020 · 33
Unsettled
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
These dreams are kicking my ***.
These demons feed on my soul.
I ask god for forgiveness and he said he was out.
I looked to my left and saw no one.
I looked to my right and saw no one.
I face these demons with little faith.
Here I come to the depths.

What now
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
One tear...
I cry for you...
Two tears...
I cry because you left me...

Compare and Contrast
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Let me mirror your emotions...
Let me show you what you look like...
Crying...
That's what I do for you...
Do you feel any remorse what so ever...
Don't ever try to mirror someone else
Jan 2020 · 47
Moment
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
You make me smile like the stars shine...
Bright...
Beautiful...
You always present yourself for me...
Shine to the fullest...
You are my star...
My everything...
My girlfriend is my world. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her.
Jan 2020 · 78
Runneth Over
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Your words caress my heart and soul...
The stars symbolize your very being...
I touch the ground with my knees in hopes of falling for you...
I take care of you like it's meant to be...
Like still water you're so calm and relaxed...
I see my reflection in your clear skies like a mirror...
My cup overflows with emotion...
No need for cleaning...
Let that dry land soak it up...
Jan 2020 · 47
Homebound
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
These tears falling down my face are for you...
To not feel you in my arms causes pain more than you can imagine...
I know that you're no longer suffering from your pain...
You walked everyday, carrying that pain...
Smiling like theres no tomorrow...
You would cook, clean, dance, joke and at the end of the day relax...
I miss seeing you able to sleep on that couch in your favorite spot...
Feet kicked up and mouth open...
I miss it when you call my name...
I miss your voice.
I can still hear it through our hallways...
It echoes in my heart and soul...
I miss you dad...
Jan 2020 · 73
Breathless

Roses
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Roses are something beautiful.
They bloom with perfection.
Roses also have thorns.
To attack.
To defend.
I love the color of roses.
Pink and Red is what I see.

What is love?
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Love to me is between a rock and hard place
yea, i'm pretty sure i don't know what it is, but i give my best effort to try and explain it
love is dealing with someone else emotions
you try to understand what they're feeling
at times it may be hard, but eventually you'll understand
love to me is facing many consequences for the person that you like
people talk about love like they don't understand it
they say love in unconditional, but how can you understand
love can be of time, a place, an object, or something in the mind
love has to deal with everything, from the food that you make
to the feeling that you feel deep down inside
i'm not a poet, i don't say things just to make them rhyme
but this is what i know what love is
love is unscheduled

Enter key
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
My life is like a keyboard
You can type away for ever and ever
Constant click clack of the keys
There’s always more to be done
Punctuation is important
You can type your own story
Be careful though because
That backspace key doesn’t
Work all the time
Mistakes you make will be there
Til then
Type away...

Roots
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
People say that flowers wilt faster when they aren't taken care of
The flower needs to feel the warm sunlight shine down on them
Water brings growth to the roots of that flower
Then come along weeds, or the "problem"
It grows around the plant and suffocates the life out of it
Once that **** is pulled out of the flowers existence
The flower can grow and bloom
See humans are just like flowers
We spend this amount of time developing
Getting the right amount of nutrients from our source of life
After we get older, weeds start to develop in our life
We may hold onto them for a little while not knowing their purpose
But for one moment in our life its another plant we grasp onto
Not knowing whether it can suffocate the life out of us or help us grow
We are not as gentle as flowers but we can blossom into something beautiful

Free
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
What is freedom...?
You know that first breath you take...
That first stretch for your legs...
That adrenaline rush...
That's freedom...
Jan 2020 · 64
Peace for the lover
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
I hope you know that I do everything for you because I care for you.
I wouldn’t lie about that to your face
My heart is very open to your needs and wants
Please don’t take advantage of me
Let me show you what’s it’s like to be free again
Let me show you what it feels like to be pain free
Let me help you let go of the past so we can begin our future
The only thing we have right now is time.

2-way mirror

I see you...
Do you see me...
Can you see my breath on the glass...
Can you see my tears...
Can you feel my pain...
I am wounded but there is no damage...

Coma Relief
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
People stand over me and tell me to wake up...
I feel when they grab my hand...
It drains me to know that I can't grab theirs back...
I lay there and just dream endless dreams...
I hear their voices and its soothes me...
I hear their cries and it makes me sad...
I open my eyes for the first time...
"He-Hello" escapes my mouth...

Heart Problems
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
How easy was it for you to leave that special person?
You said you understand pain, yet you cause it.
Does pain from other people satisfy your hunger?
So much that you hunger for more?
Your appetite is full of ego with an appetizer of pain.
Pain is what you cause, yet you inflict it on yourself.
Does the sight of your own pain feed that hunger?
If so, why do it to other people?
Make them feel as if they caused you the pain.
To turn the tables and said that they did it.
Your hunger for pain is effortless.
It feels that empty void of what you call a heart.
Your soul is that of a black hole.
Empty, dark and lonely.
When you meet someone with light, you feed on it.
**** the light right out of them until all that's left is darkness.
Emptiness, darkness and loneliness....
It feels that empty void of what you call a heart.

Dunes
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
I feel the sand between my toes...
I feel the heat from the sun on my back...
I feel the sweat running down my face...
My feet ache from walking all day...
The night time cools my brain from thinking...
I sit and wait for a sign above...
The stars guide me during the night...
I see miles and miles of sand...
My mind is playing tricks on me...
I see mirages of my past life...
They cling onto me like lifeless corpses...
I only see pain and trouble...

Lifetime
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
Hugging and kissing in the rain is so passionate
It doesn't matter how long you're there with your loved one
Staring at each other is what you live for in that moment
Looking at each other like y'all met for the first time
Spacing out your surroundings like they don't exist
The only thing that matters is you, her and emotions
Caressing her cheek and looking in those brown eyes is all you have time for
Not leaving each other guessing whether your love is worthy or not
You and her are there for a reason, so make it count
The rain has its own time it goes by for you and her
A moment in the rain with a loved one can last a lifetime
For both loved ones that is all that matters to them
Feeling the rain drops on their heads and face make this moment worth it
Smiling and leaning into each other is the best for both
That moment they both kiss, the world no longer exist
As they pull apart from each other the words escape their mouth
"I love you."

Some People
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
Some people can go a day without feeling sorry...
Some people can go two days without feeling sorry...
Some people can go three days without feeling sorry...
Some people can go four days without feeling sorry....
Some people can go five days without feeling sorry...
Some people can go six days without feeling sorry...
Some people can go seven days without feeling sorry...
Some people feel like they can't do better...
Some people put others there for a reason...
Some people feel high and mighty over others...
Some people need to put that to the side and help...
Some people need to learn how to walk slowly...
Some people need to learn how to guide...
Some people need to learn how listen...
Some people just need to be people...
People are just people...

Overdose
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
Seeping through my memories
Like a drug overdose
Foaming from my brain
Making me cry
Reminding me of constant pain
Reeling me in like the fiend I am
Love is what I call that drug
Love is an addiction. Take the right person to cure it.
Dec 2019 · 109
Breathtaking
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
This pain I feel is deep...
It's like the tallest mountain steep...
This coldness is taking my breath...
I'm shivering down to my soul...
This heavy feeling is called grief...
Is this what you felt long ago...
I miss the warmth you provided...
Is this what it feels like to be gone...
I'm nothing without you...
I miss my father very much. It's been a year since his passing.

Soulless Bounded by Chains
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
Let me take you away from all your pain...
I'm going to guide you through all your troubles...
Let my voice sink into your soul...
Let my touch drive your mind crazy...
Fantasize about my mind mixing with yours...
Let those thoughts turn into reality...
I'll be a slave to your every need...
Let my words caress your heart...
I'll speak your dreams into reality...
Just listen to my voice and thoughts...
Let me take you on a journey for freedom...
Claim that thing you have lost in the past...
Whether it be yourself or something else...
Journey down this path you choose...
With every step you take the rest will follow...
No need to cover your tracks...
Your mind will do that automatically...
Thoughts will knock you off the path but fear not...
Your heart will guide you toward the path every time...
Multiple paths will exist, but choose wisely...
Your thoughts are always going to play games...
Each one with a different prize...
Step right up and claim that prize for yourself...
Freedom is what you're looking for and I can guide you to it...
This is your soul trying to come back from where you cast it...
Let me take control of everything and I'll show you that you need me...

Abyss
Andrew Gomez Dec 2019
People say that time is relevant...
How can we go by time when we move on our own...?
Everything consists of time from the moment we're born...
We are always moving forward but yet the system we're in is moving backwards...
Today is going to be tomorrow and yesterday is going to be today...
Does that really matter when all we have is darkness around us...?
Are we really afraid of the dark or are we just scared to be alone...?
Can you look up at the stars and gaze ever so gently and realize that the light is old...?
They say light travels fast but not fast enough to escape that dark abyss called a "black hole"...
Do we really know what happens when we are trapped for eternity...?
Does time really stop like they say it does...?
There is only one way to find out by going through my mind and taking this path...
Let the stars in my mind guide you so you don't stray from this path...
Stray from this path and you fall off this course called life...
The abyss calls your name from my soul so just take that leap...
Do you really love me like you say you do...?
Are you willing to give your heart for mine...?
I'm willing to do anything for you...
I see stars when I look in your eyes...
They guide my soul towards your soul and I'm rejuvenated...
It makes me feel younger again...
There are always this little things that bring me down but you're always there to catch me...
I love you for that...
Don't make me regret this feeling...
I chose you...
Please stay with me until the end of all this...

— The End —
