Sticker
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I should come with a warning label.
To show you what you will get.
I over love.
I ask questions.
I dont like being alone.
I hate thunder.
I love fall.
I'll love you for you.

But that's probably not good enough right.
It never will be.

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...

Misfortune
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
Your smile drew me in because it was your conception.
You lips tasted like deception.
You deceived my eyes while pouring out lies.
I saw the sky but didn't know you painted it.
I wish I could reverse time and release this curse.
A nightmare that I live everyday.
Expecting you.

Life
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
What are the cheat codes to life.
Can I get an extra man?
How many points do I need?
Can I make the leader board?
Can I be #1?
Do I get to put my initials?
Will I have a ghost?
Take my place and wipe my memory.
Claim my spot and be at the top.
You have to be good at it.
Otherwise life will always win.
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
I wanna drown my sorrows
Into tomorrow
So that I can live for today
Because yesterday was pain and regret

Sodalicious
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
When I first saw you my soul fizzed up like soda.
I was all bubbly and pouring over the rim of my heart.
When we got together thats all I felt.
After a while I became flat because there was no more fizz between us.
It left a nasty taste in my heart and soul.

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...

Old letters
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
Its been five months....
I still got tears in my eyes...
I wish it was dust that caused it...
These memories will be the end of me...
Next month I'll have your first letter for a year...
Silly me I guess...
There's no use for them anymore...

Nip and Trim
Andrew Gomez May 2020
Crying is what I do when I think of you...
My sunflower is no longer with me...
I need to trim my leaves and leave you in the roots...
This will help me grow and nurture myself...
Since you are no longer here to do that...
Plant your seed else where and watch it grow...
Watch how the soil will be different...
Watch how they take care of you...
I will miss watering you everyday...
I now have to watch you grow from a distance...
Bloom into that flower no one expects...
Eventually people will seek your seeds for guidance...
Help bloom other flowers...
Help wilted flowers rise again...
You are my sunflower and now I must let you go...

Two peas in a pod
Andrew Gomez Sep 13
You and I fit together so perfectly.
Like a puzzle.
You could pick us apart from any crowd and still find us staring into each other eyes.
Her soft skin melts in my hands.
I can feel her heartbeat when we hold hands.
Ba-***, Ba-***, Ba-***.
Her lips caress my cheek and leave bruises of love.
I paint her the world through my eyes.
She is a canvas, and I will be in muse of her beauty.
Exploding with colors that are not of this world.
Yet each spot is something I adore.

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...

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...

Self-worth
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
Look in my eyes and see yourself...
Let me show you what I see...
All the things you can be...
I see what makes me happy...
You see what bothers people...
I see what turns my day into not being ******...
You see a ****** person with a ***** mirror...
Let me clean that because not all mirrors need to be *****...
Look in my eyes and see yourself with my soul...
Just feel what I'm feeling and tell me it's not a mistake...
Think about it...

Light years
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
In my universe it doesn't matter how many galaxies there are.
It doesn't matter how many stars I have.
You are my cosmos.
You are my galaxy.
You are my star.
I would travel billions of light years just to reach you.
Just so I can feel your heat radiate on my skin.

Reasoning
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
You don't miss them.
You miss the way they made you feel.
You miss their company.
You hate being alone.
Well I do to....
It's a lonely world out there...

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...

lost

I lost one of my best friends.
I lost the woman I loved.
Its okay though.
Peace.

Maybe
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
Maybe I did fall in love with you too fast.
Maybe I should've just stayed friends with you so this could last.
Now I'm sitting here thinking about the past.
How I knew this wasn't going to last.
Jokes on me, I'm just a loser.
Now my heart is a bruiser.
It takes hits all day.
I walked around and carried all this weight.
Just to show you that I will end up sky.
Now I'm beneath the ground.
6 feet deep.
Now I can finally sleep.
Its time to count these endless sheep.

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...

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...

Low on time
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
At times like this I wish I could fill this void.
But during times like this all I can do is think of you.
You were once my binding for my heart.
You kept everything structured.
Once you pulled the pin, everything just fell.
Back into this abyss that feeds on my pain.
It's like feeding myself poison little by little.
Expecting to build an immunity to it.
Just to turn around and find out I'm dying faster than normal.
I can't remember that last time that I actually genuinely smiled.
Believe it or not I'm actually running out of fake smiles.
I've tried shopping around for them but I couldn't find any.
I looked up how to be happy again on my browser and you popped up.
I cleared my cache and cookies in hopes of it being a joke but you were still there.
Next to the word happy.

Glance at Death
Andrew Gomez Aug 23
I watched as death crept around every corner
Waiting to take someone's light
Death figured if it couldn't keep the light
Then why does everyone else have a chance
Slowly but surely the light starts to fade
-
"Such misery I bring before you."
"This turmoil you feel is death."
"It is I who bring closure to these ends."
"Yet no one reigns above me or below me."
"This void of a world you call home is decorated and plagued with too much light."
"It is my job to clean this distained burden and mine alone."
-
Death always follows close to those who burn bright
Look into my eyes and see that death has been around
-
"Your time will come, soon enough."

Trapped
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
I’m still lost in my head...
I peel back the layers of thoughts...
My mind feeds on my soul...
My desire to have you is unbearable...
I’m still intrigued by you...
Please help...
I’m reaching for your hand...
Take it in hopes of me finding my way back...

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...

Bring it back
Andrew Gomez Oct 23
Speak to me like we first met.
Allow me to smile like how I used to.
Show me your emotions like before.
I'll give you all my attention once again.
Talk to me about goofy things again.
I'll wait patiently to listen.
Just show me you once more.
The person I fell in love with.
45 · Aug 2020
You
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
You
If I bought you a necklace with a ring on it, would you wear it.
If I learned to say I love you in different languages, would you listen to me.
If I scribed your name on my bones, does that make it everlasting.
If I etch your soul on my brain stem, does that mean my heart rate will increase.
If your fingerprints were left on my heart, does that mean you can unlock it.
45 · Apr 2020
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...
45 · Jan 2020
Moment
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
You make me smile like the stars shine...

My Garden
Andrew Gomez Oct 15
Be careful who you let in your garden.
Flowers get stolen too.
Andrew Gomez Sep 13
If time was never real
then why do I feel lost?
When you aren't near
It feels as if I'm in an
Endless loop of lost and
Confusion but as soon as
You come back time is
Moving again like it
Should be...

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.

Mixed Emotions
Andrew Gomez May 2020
When rain comes, I form a boundary.
These grey gloomy clouds have feelings.
Rain pours down like a never ending rain forest.
The only time I feel warmth is with your smile, your eyes, your presence, your thoughts. There is more to this list.
You overcome the thunder that is in my head.
You turn any occasion into a bright day.
Your brown honey eyes make my hands sticky.
I miss holding your emotions like they were my own.
This is supposed to make me feel better but all I can feel at this moment is pure sadness.
I will carry your burdens anywhere.
I know you didn't ask for this.
I see you.
Please...

Love has it Toll
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
I don't believe in love anymore.
I'm hurting and it doesn't even matter.
My soul has left my body and I feel nothing.
It went into that dark abyss.
Love is not what I thought it would be.
It chewed me up and spit me back out.
That line to hell seems a bit shorter now.
I would rather die than to be in love again.
I was a good guy.
Now I'm just a guy that feels horrible all the time.
Pay to play. Just so you can lose.

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

Stormy Weather
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
My mental health is not okay....
I'm just waiting patiently one day...
When the time finally comes....
I'll be on my way....
My head floats through the clouds....
Waiting for an answer....
Trying to match everything that has happened....
My life has become a typhoon....
I wreck everything in my path....
I have a center....
Thats why I'm calm....
Then it starts all over....

To the new Lover
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
Let her voice ring in your head.
Remember she loves to sing.
If it annoys you, it shouldn't.
Thats her when she's trying to get things off her mind.
When she tells you that she's not good enough for you, remind her why you love her.
Cherish her kisses. Her hugs. Her love.
Be there 'til the end of it all.
Turquoise, Sunflower Yellow and Lavender are her colors.
Those colors make a beautiful painting.
Sunflowers, Roses and Tulips make a beautiful bokay.
Just be there for her when she falls in darkness.
Be her light when all she sees is shadows.

One of a kind
Andrew Gomez Nov 8
You say you want someone like me
Until I approach you, now it's not like that.
I can be the best me because there is no one else like me.
You want to be taken care of? Cool I got that.
But when I step up you don't rock that.
Ignore me and then I kick rocks.
You say you want someone who does the things I do.
But when I step up, I'm shot down like a bird.
You don't want someone like me.
You want someone who's more fine and slim with my heart.
It's impossible to find that because I'm one of one.
39 · Oct 2020
Once More
Andrew Gomez Oct 2020
The stars at night shine oh so beautiful.
Just like your smile.
I can't wait to see it again.
I cant wait til our lips meet.
The softness of your skin releases dopamine through my body.
It makes me feel good.
Your presence brings me at peace.
I wish I could spend one more day with you.
I loved the way our hand and fingers interlocked with each other.
It was like a puzzle and we were the missing piece.
Now it's an incomplete set.
How ironic is that.
Our love was like a puzzle.
We tried to match pieces that were clearly never made to fit.
So we casted our love away for each other.
Only in another place and time our love is pure.

Collapsed Star
Andrew Gomez Jul 23
Another loss in front of my eyes
I feel as if a star exploded in my chest
I close in on myself until the void fills all
Just to be left empty but full
Time without you is all but my existence
I try to hold on yet I feel out of place
This feeling is heavy like a burden
Somehow we know what that feels like
Place your weight on me
And you'll see how much is lifted
I'll gather all my dues and pay the toll
Just to be bright one more time

Be carful when you walk on my path...
There are cracks that haven’t been fixed...
There are holes that need to be filled...
I’m working on it don’t worry...
I don’t want anyone to fall like I do...
Those are my mistakes and my responsibilities...
My relationship with myself will get better...
If you see me working don’t halt me...
Help me with your encouraging words...
Let me know I can do this..
If you give up on me I’ll continue to fix myself...
I’m doing this for me so I can better my life...
Please do the same with yours...
Fix yourself because you are important in this world ❤️

Unsettled

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.

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...?

The night sky fills with her eyes...
A sparkle here, a sparkle there...
Nothing can dismiss her light...
Her voice produces comets so bright...
You could look up all night and never get tired...
If I had a camera to capture every moment with you, I would need an eternity...
When asked about the stars at night I point towards the heavens above...
To show that you will forever be my light...during the darkest times
I ask the moon for guidance.
I toward the night sky.
Only to find stars above.
Glancing in pitch black.
A twinkle here and there.
I lay on my back in hopes of a shooting star.
So I can wish for you one more time.

— The End —
