Green light.

I felt so free.
Pedal to the metal on my life.
Switching lanes at ease.

Yellow light.

I had to slow down.
Understand why I’m free.
Carefully using blinkers.

Red light.

It’s time to stop.
Evaluate my life.
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
Andrew Gomez May 2021
I can talk to you.
I’m just not ready to see you face to face.
It will bring back memories.
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.

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...
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...
Andrew Gomez Nov 2020
I imagine us standing on this bridge over a stream.
I kneel down on one knee and pull out the ring.
The excitement on your face says it all.
Its crazy how all that is imagined.
Well I still loved every moment of it.
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.
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.
Andrew Gomez Aug 2020
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.
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....
Andrew Gomez Jan 2021
Be a sunflower.
Turn towards someone.
Help them.
Guide them.
Nurture them.
Your warm radiating energy will do.
Hug them.
For they need it.
Andrew Gomez Dec 2020
I watch the sunrise warm the sky.
I see trails of light break off in every direction.
It looks like a beautiful painting brought to life.
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.
Andrew Gomez Nov 2023
I lay in my bed at night in terror and fear
Not because of the dark but because of my dreams
I see your silhouette like a daze from a mirage
I have your smile memorized
They way your lips look
The way your eyes fill up with joy
Oh to be in terror and fear
Not because of the dark but because of my dreams
Andrew Gomez Feb 2021
What are we going to do?
We aren’t meant for each other but yet we stick together like glue.
I peel off this layer and somehow it comes back later.
People scream at me and tell me we’re no good for each other but you know I’m tougher.
I can take the hits.
That’s when I just wanna disappear into the mist.
Going away hopefully I’ll be missed.
Now all I want is one more kiss.
To tell the tale how we separated.
Yet dead men can’t talk.
Especially if he’s in the Dead Sea.

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
Andrew Gomez Dec 2023
There is someone out there that is waiting on me
There is someone out there waiting for my love
There is someone out there waiting for my hugs
There is someone out there waiting for my kisses
There is someone out there waiting for my intimacy
There is someone out there that is waiting on me
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.”
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.
~
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.
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.
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...
Andrew Gomez Sep 2021
You were my dream…
Until you turned into my nightmare…
You were so warm…
Until you grew cold…
You said things to make me happy…
Until the truth came pouring out…
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.
Andrew Gomez Sep 2021
Sometimes having feelings for someone can be bad...
No matter how it plays out...
Never let your guard down for anyone...
Even if they have feelings for you...
Andrew Gomez Sep 2021
Don't let other people guide your feelings...
They tamper and cause erratic outbursts of emotions...
Tell the person you like, how you feel...
It's your emotions at the end of the night...

"This conversation is just for you and me."
-
"How can, I be sure."
-
"You can't but I hope the trust we built will help you."
-
"Trust?"
-
"Yes, trust. The only thing we've been building since the beginning."
-
"Trust is hard to come by these days."
-
"Then I see we don't need to have the conversation."
Andrew Gomez Apr 2021
I want our bodies entwined with one another.
Our heart beats in sync.
Locked eyes with each other’s.
Soul against soul.
Eat from the forbidden fruit again.
Make me do crazy things for you.
Keep my lust high.
Keep my mind going and wandering.
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.
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.
Andrew Gomez Apr 2020
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...
Andrew Gomez Jun 2023
The friendship we built was dummy
It turned into something funny
It was lustful for me
It was tasteful to you
The bounty was full
I drank your soul
You emptied my mind
Til we meet again
Our trail will intertwine
Andrew Gomez Nov 20
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
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...
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
I'm not happy...
I'm miserable...
I lied to people...
This shadow weighs...
Like the ****** souls...
That go into the abyss...
I'm not happy...
Its time to take a nap...
Forever...
Andrew Gomez Sep 2020
We reach our limit as soon as we fall...
The sky calls out our name...
The clouds go where ever the wind takes them...
The breeze is where I wanna be...
Just let everything go and float away...
Take that journey...
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
Andrew Gomez Dec 2023
What is holding you back?
That feeling of fear or being rejected?
Is it that little voice in your head that tells you otherwise?
Or could it be that your parents have told you so?
OR did you hear it from a stranger?
Did you dream about it when you were at your lowest?
Did you learn to harness that energy?
How long did it take for you to actually believe it?
How many times were you hurt by words?
Before you realized that they were just words?
If you are still stuck in this place that is okay.!
From what I hear people are still searching for their way out.
Some have found their way like no other has before.
That is something to be extremely satisfied of!
In the end if you can't fiind your way out.
Ask for help.
Sometimes thats all we need.
Andrew Gomez Jan 2020
One tear...
I cry for you...
Two tears...
I cry because you left me...
Andrew Gomez Aug 22
The morning whispered in my ear with delight
Beckoning for a hug
I open my arms and embrace the hug
For how much I missed the warmness
It brought back memories of a different time
Bouncing brown curly coiled hair
Caramel skin, the air filled with cocoa butter
Her honey brown eyes met mine followed by a smile
Oh, how this face meant something to me once
Now all it does is beckon to lure into the darkness
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...?
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...
Andrew Gomez May 2020
Let me just ball up my feelings...
Throw them in the trash and pour gas on it...
Set fire to myself and my soul...
Let me put on a fake smile and pretend I'm okay...
"Hi my name is Andrew"...
Andrew Gomez Dec 2023
I've written poems for people who've just thrown them away.
I've written poems when I was going through hard times.
I've written poems when there was nothing else to do.
I've written poems that have gone past peoples heads.
I've written poems that have not been good.
I've written and written and written.
When will it be my turn?
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.
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...

— The End —
