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...

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...

Essay

I was given a pen to write my story.
But little did I know, I was the ink.

Gloomy
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I walked outside and smelled the air.
That smell of faint rain excited me.
The clouds were grey and gloomy.
There was a little chill in the air.
Droplets started to fall.
One after another.
Soon there was a wall of rain in front of me.
Thats the most relaxed I've ever felt.
72 · Oct 2020
Spry
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I layed in my bed and listened to the pattern of the rain.
I let it ****** my brain and give me illusions.
The chilly wind coming from my window displays its hurt.
I lay and let my conscience wonder around.
The cold wet rain pittering and pattering on the concrete is exilerating.
Not because I enjoy it but because it reminds me I'm still alive.

Thinking
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
“Who are you?”

“Could you answer that?”

“I'm nobody.”

“I answer to everyone.”

“I'm that little voice in your head.” 

“Some people call me a conscience...”

“I'm just simply you.”

Breathless
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
Breathe in...

Do you feel that...?
The air leaving from your lungs...
That's my life without you in it...

Suppressed
Andrew Gomez Dec 2020
Will you accept my apology.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I dug a grave for your feelings.
I packed you away and hid you in an empty space.
Til this day it rattles my mind.
I chained you down when you should have been free.
Now look.
Ready to spread your wings like a beautiful butterfly.
I'm sorry.
70 · Jan 2020
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...

Shadowy feeling
Andrew Gomez Sep 13
The shadows follow me every day...
It mocks my walk...
It learned my gestures...
It learned my demeanor...
It has chosen me to live off of...
A parasite of my own kind...
Yet it does not talk or see...
Shadows follow me all day...
Even during the night...

Seasons
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
I can't wait til the leaves fall...
The change in color...
The atmosphere lightens...
Walking alone to mend your mind...
That nice breeze while you hear the leaves...
You can smell that faint hint of rain...

Fall from grace
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
Words can't describe how I fell for you.
Only scars will tell my story of how you hurt me.

Thoughts Pt.1
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
Remembering you has my mind in a maze.
To the point where my vision becomes haze.
~
“It’s time to go.”
“Will it hurt?”
”Leaving never hurts”
~
It was the biggest lie I was told.
Leaving hurt more.
It always did.
Especially when it was “You”.
~
“I’ll be here with you.”
“Through laughs, fighting, crying etc”
~
You know the rest.
~
We said things that we meant.
Only now it just feels empty.
~
Well it’s history now.
That’s all we have.
No more memories or bonding.
~
I know you’re still out there.
Still thinking of me, because I do the same thing.
Ah hell. Who knows. Maybe you don’t.

A woman is lik'a book
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
Opening up a book is like opening up a womans feelings for the first time.
you never know what you're gona get and you can't see what's happening down the way
but just know by each chapter there's always something new to learn
the more you progress the deeper in the book you get
it's just lika woman.. the more she opens up the deeper her feelings also get
and when you're almost done with the book you can see that it's already getting good
it's just lika woman she almost trust you with her feelings and not meant to be joked about
it's just like a book even though books don't become true
it's just lika woman not everything you know will come to life
except for the feelings that are burning inside
after the book is over you reminisce about what happened
and just lika woman when she finally opens up all of her to you
you sit there in aw
because you know she trusts you
reading a woman is like reading a book

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...
66 · Apr 2020
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...

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."

Trust and Faith
Andrew Gomez Dec 2020
I looked at her while tears fell from her face.
Droplets after droplets....
Her voice is tired and sore.
Her pain and agony is mine now.
Its my turn to water her.
Watch her grow and flourish.
By this time she'll need no one.
Only herself.

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...

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?"

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...

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...

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.

Reminiscing/Forgetting
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I was looking at old pictures.
I asked myself the important question.
"Do I miss you?"
I sat and thought about it.
Scrolling through endless pictures.
I didn't feel the need to cry.
I didn't feel my heart sputter.
I didn't get the butterflies.
I didn't get anything.
I guess it finally ended.

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...

Bliss on a rainy day
Andrew Gomez Dec 2023
Have you seen death at your door before?
Do you know what that knock sounds like?
The heavy burden of those sounds still echo through my mind.
Do you know that death has a voice?
Have you heard someone talk about life so blissfully?
Death laughed about life being bliss.
Death said, "I'd rather live with the hurtful truths than beautiful lies."
Death has no friends but still confides in me.

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

'Til this day
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
'Til this day I wonder where I went wrong with you.
I hope our paths never cross again.
I've been hurting for months and I have no idea how long it will be.
Before I actually feel fine.
I've been killing myself with all this downtime.
Wondering about you and how you're doing.
This will be my last poem about you.
I lived to see 23 and I'm happy for that.
A year ago I had you.
This month in a couple of days.
This will sproute new memories.
For myself so I can see my life completely without you.
I wish I could turn into a door so you can walk in and see my life.
'Til you realize how many locks you have to go through just to open the door.
I've had so many people tell me just to let it go.
Even you said "it is what it is."
And you're right.
'Til this day.
It will be "it is what it is."
You even told me happy birthday and it was awkward for me.
You don't really care about me.
Nevermore should I care about you.
'Til this day.
We walk separate paths.
Shall it stay like that.

The Fall
Andrew Gomez Jun 9
I remember everything before the fall
How I swayed in the air
How I have seen many nights and days
How I've seen many seasons come and go
I remember it all before the fall
Then one day it all changed when
I was no longer needed
I remember the sensation when I was dropped
All I could think of is how to get my way back
The fall felt like a million years but in mere
Seconds I was on the ground
Ready to begin anew

Shed no tears
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I learned being without you has left me in a state of peril.
To the point where I messaged you saying that miss you.
Over and over again.
I even told you that there was no point in me telling you that because you have moved on.
Its been pfft.
I forgot how many months now.
I've never cared about anyone more than you and I dont know why.
Oh well though.
It doesn't matter to anyone but me.

Andrew Gomez Jun 9
Lights in the night sky remind me of you
How far away they are but still so beautiful

Display that confidence that you once had

I'm on a new journey and path that will take me beyond this day.

Grey clouds gather.
They said it would be scattered showers.
Some here and some there.
Later it will be severe.
High speed winds coming from my mouth.
Heavy rain from my eyes.
Flash flood warning.
Tears will sweep you away.
Wind so fierce it willl blow you away.
Not everyone has a center or an eye to stay calm.

Faded
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
To think about you is like a tattoo.

Eventually the memories fade.
Just like tattoos.
It's up to you if you want to touch them up.
Bring color back to them.
Do you.

Lifetime Journey
Andrew Gomez Jun 9
I wish I was told by someone
That pain never ends
I wish I was told that love begins
I wish I told that we fall in the end
To alleviate this pain from under
So I can become stronger in life
Just to be turned into a puddle
Now that I'm here where to begin
To start somewhere new
And begin this journey once more
To find you in life and start again
I will look endlessly for you
Til this lifetime is over and then start again

Same time
Andrew Gomez Jun 9
No matter what the nature looks like
Its still really beautiful
The wind is damaging but also feels like freedom
The rain causes floods that are wrathful
But at the same time the rain
Feels so good against my skin
With each pitter patter it reminds
With each distinct sound that follows
Big drops little drops and small drops
All contain a way to bring life to this world
So when you ask about how I feel about you
I will tell you the same answer over and over
There's nothing that will change my mind from now until its over
I know I'm not a strong communicator but give me time
Things will change and I will learn how to be better for you
Change my mindset and set me free from this world to join yours

I knew

I should have walked away from you.
I knew it was ending when you said we were drifting apart.
I could have saved myself from this hurt.
That one night I had my chance.
I should have just got up and left.
Walked until my feet bled.
Maybe then my feelings would've died for you.
Now I'm just choking my life away.
Little by little.
Day by day.
Month by month.
My healing time is ******.
