there's a lot on my mind and not a lot of ways to say it
to say exploding from within would be an understatement
repeat after me: we're okay, we're okay.
D Mar 2017
it seems you like her better
rather than what I have to give
now it's all I've got
to keep myself from not
giving in
to the drama brewing within
D Mar 2017
as long as the flames of passion burn on,
the walls of ice will melt
though once the ice is melted,
the flames will go out
it's a cold hot love -- one felt in the heart
it'll pull and tear at you until it rips you apart
a great poet once said, through fire or ice?
I ask for it all, for now, while it's still nice

Your scent is everywhere
All around me
It's intoxicating
And suffocating all at once
I'm drowning happily
In the waves you caused
To pull me from shore
And carry me out to you
No one could understand what this means, it means everything..
D Feb 2020
like a poisonous flower
you could never tell
that the brightness without
did darkness dwell

My mind is reeling
I can't help but feeling
Like I don't quite measure up

As time continues
I continue to feel used
Like I'm nothing to you after all
D Jan 2016
I'm only half a person without you
And that's okay
It's alright to need you the way I need to
And that's every day
I was born solely to find my soul mate
And never let go
You're my other half, my true love, and together
We're whole
I love you a lot, I need you even more
D Dec 2018
it use to be me rattling those closed doors
the fear of losing you, the suffering through
of everything; drowning me until there was nothing
more than a shell of who I use to be left

now it's you with a stone in your chest
that quickness of breath, when you think about me
gone; walking away and leaving you behind
nothing more than a shell of the boy you use to be
i'm not going anywhere..
D Sep 2015
Please, don't ask me to choose,
Because I'll never choose you...

beckon them forward
with smiles and charm

thrice get them anything
and everything they want

once beg their pardon
as you have nothing to spare

then pack up and leave them
*without a worry or a care
picked a title
ran off that
by product

I dwell in my past so often,
I forget I'm in the now
I wish and long for people
Who, for a while, haven't been around
I put aside those who want me
To remember those who don't,
It's time I said I'm sorry
And let go of the rope
I have people who want to be there for me
I just have to let them
D Dec 2018
things may come and go but one thing stays the same
your love as constant as my own
growing stronger every day
written in grey

~          ~             ~

I'm watching the couple across the room
She's Asian and he's Indian
But race doesn't matter,
They're happy, everyone can see it

~          ~             ~

They sit together, side by side
Clicking on keyboards, the monitor alight,
They talk in hushed tones, lips pressed to ears
They're in love with each other, it's so very clear

She leans on his shoulder, breathes in his scent
He turns to face her, plants a kiss on her head
She sighs in contentment, this is their third year
He pulls her in closer to whisper in her ear

~          ~             ~

As I'm watching the couple
Who sits across the room
I find my mind wandering
To thoughts of you

~          ~             ~

When we sit together, side by side
Is there someone who watches, eyes alight
With our love, it sings loud, reaching the ears
Of those who watch us, making it clear

When I lean into your scent, I start to swoon
When you kiss me [anywhere], my heart beats a thousand x two
And I'll sigh because I'm happy, almost half a year
*I'll always love you darling, I just hope you can hear
D Feb 2017
that you came to me
in the late hours for comfort
it means more than I can express

I guess that makes me pretty pathetic
more or less
I know what I am and
I am insecure
D Nov 2013
Pull me close
Into your arms
Don't let me go
Keep me safe and warm

Hold me tightly
In your arms
Stars shine brightly
Guiding us from harm
D Apr 2014
Daddy wasn't there
To tuck me in
And do my hair.
Daddy wasn't there
To feed me peas
And make sure I said please.
Daddy wasn't there
To tell me stories
And hold me till I slept.
Daddy wasn't there
Because daddy was a ****.

who would have known
when I look into your eyes
it makes me want to die

What happens when your time runs out?
It's your time to go, so you scream and shout
But all that comes out is a choked off sound
You're weak, fall to your knees, palms on the ground

Then you wake up drenched in your own sweat
It was only a dream, you repeat in your head
Though it felt so real, it had to mean something true
Tonight, at Death Cafe, I'll bring my thoughts to you
Went to this thing called Death Cafe last night, where they talk about death with acceptance and positivity. Good times.

Why do we dream the things we do?
Is it because deep down, we wish it true?
That life were a fairy tale, that we could fly?

I'd have to say no, that's not the reason why.
The dreams we receive are messages to decipher,
They are warnings against our uglier desires.

To fall prey to your dreams would be a tragedy,
It would lead you astray and quite happily
Cause you to create you're own catastrophe.

Dreams are less fairy and more a cautionary tale,
Be vigilant, watch for the warnings that are veiled.
I had a dream last night that I woke up smiling from.
It was warning against having too much fun..
D Aug 2015
Sad is my default emotion,
Happy only a lovely surprise drenched it poisons,
For happiness is temporary and fleeting,
Whereas sadness is eager to take her rightful place in my heart,
Always a bit stronger for it every time.
Sad...
D Feb 2014
I am the definition of fool
I choose to believe you
When you spoke of love and forever
I should have known that
The sky only appears to be blue

I am the center of stupidity
I thought I could control my heart
Tell it to only love you so much
I should have realized I couldn't hold it back
And that you would have torn it apart

I am the queen at being naive
I thought I alone could be enough
To satisfy your needs and wants
I should have known it was a lost cause
But I kept on trying, even when I should have run



I'll keep on trying, until you run away for good
Move on, forget me. You said you're good at that. But know I wont be able to, not for a long while anyway. I fell too hard, loved you too much, to just forget at that snap of your fingers. Remember that.

watch out because the wall flower sees all
deflowered, standing tall
at attention, eyes peeled
but hidden underneath a veil
of nothing, only an invisible wall
promoting myself on twitter, I wonder how far that will get me
D May 2016
I should get up and do something
Shower or at least comb my hair
I shouldn't lay in my bed all day waiting
But I just can't seem to care

Every day that I do nothing
Is another day lost to despair
I feel so sluggish and tired
Maybe there's nothing for me out there
D Jan 2019
I know the moments fleeting
this sick and awful feeling..
I know, but it still makes it hard to breathe
D May 2014
Red
Scales glisten
In the moonlight

Smoke
Rises in plumes
Before the dark night

Fire
Scorches all
Whose swords do fight

Desiree
A dragons name
Is one to cause fright

It was our 'goodnight kiss' moment -
I touched your **** instead.

All the while thinking -
This will ******* my girlfriend more I bet.
How I see it, his POV
D Jul 2019
what can i even say?
he fell in love
twice in one lifetime and she threw him a lifeline

I wonder now, what would they say?
If any of them knew, found out today?
She might try to talk, while she lets it go,
He might tell him, and he'll definitely blow,
She'll pry and pry, and he might ask why,
And in the end, I may have to die.
D Sep 2014
Why are people so accepting of the smile
After all the tears they just saw be shed?
It's exhausting playing the happy, smiling girl
When all the while, inside I'm dead
Why don't they notice my tired eyes,
Or the way my legs always seem to shake?
I'm sick of pretending that I'm perfectly fine
For everyone elses sake
Because no one really wants to believe someone close to them feels pain, so they take whatever signs of normality and happiness theyre given, and ignore the truth. I dont blame those people, I just wish when I say im okay I could mean it someday..
D Jun 2014
I didn't want to believe in any kind future with you,
Too afraid the dream would be ripped away,
But I love it when you say 'forever' far too much;
Please, don't lead me astray.
D Jun 2016
Don't tell me that you can't see it
I was never there and I can feel it
Her fingers in your hair --
Ten daggers piercing my heart
I feel it still and I'm trying to breathe
But it's tearing me apart
My lungs are filled with the poison
That she left lingering on your skin
You say it's all harmless; you're only friends
Then why do I feel so afraid?
Like any minute you'll be walking away?
Don't tell me I'm only jealous
I hear it in your voice
You're guilty and in denial
But you still have a choice

D Aug 2015
You may know more than anyone
The things I put myself through
All in the name of being unworthy
Of a friend the likes of you
I don't know if I deserve this,
I'm not sure I can,
Its just been so long
Since I've had a real friend
Your arms are wide open
Your heart on display
This took a lot of courage
I guess I'm trying to say
I'm scared of being an inconvience
Or replaced in half a day
But since you asked me so nicely
I'll give it a shot and stay
aaaaah o.o
D Jul 2016
I feel like all I've been doing is giving giving giving
You take take take and slap me in the face
Accusing me of holding out, of hiding something
I feel like I've been run over and squeezed dry
Shriveled, broken, left to die
Scream at me that you don't care
Make me believe it or get out of here

I'm trying to fix us, trying so hard
You're fighting me at every corner
Breaking my heart and using the shards
The pain you caused is your weapon
The love I have is your haven

I'm not letting you go, not yet
So go ahead, take all that I have left
You'll see the truth soon enough
You are not deserving of my love
You have two choices then
Either stand up, become a man
Or break my heart in your hands
D Apr 2014
I long for the days where
Dragons
Roamed the skies..
Where honor and passion were hand in hand with war..
D Apr 2015
You say I'm being dramatic
I say I'm being me
All I'm doing is expressing myself
Without adding censoring

I don't blame you for not understanding
**I just wish you'd be more accepting
It's okay, just don't be so harsh next time you stomp on my emotions..
D Jan 2019
dreams are just dreams
until they mean something
promises are just words
until they're broken
your heart is just an *****
beating inside your chest
until one day you find it's left
behind a gaping hole
your dream the night before
now foreboding
i'm tired, but dreaming has become less fun
D Mar 2017
If I told you about everything,
  all the truth kept locked inside
If I made you a promise that
  forbade me to lie
I'd tell you how ****** up I am,
  of the thoughts I keep at bay
I'd show you all the scars I've made,
  then I'd run away
If I couldn't hide myself behind
  my broken shades
There would be no point in living,
  my life driven by my shame
I'm going to reflect on this
D Jul 2016

I'm drowning
in the waves
you caused,
to pull me
from my shores
and drag me out
to you.
I don't even want to learn
how to swim
D Mar 2020
there is no poetry inside me
my veins have been bled dry
my heart once soaked is empty
without poetry i might die
i dont want to die, but i wouldnt mind already being dead
D Sep 2015
Is it so wrong to want to kiss you
While other people may be watching?
Lets not care for the stares
And just get lost in each other

Nothing complicated
Simplicity is key
Know, I love you
Known, you love me
2 years <3
D Jun 2017
who even are you that I write
you're certainly not him, not with his lazy attitude and familiar habit of storming through my mind..
no, you're of some other kind of disaster
a figment of my imagination run far too wild, for too long
perhaps an earthquake, bringing the world down around me, leaving my feet on solid ground
if only to watch me fall when you open up your maw from beneath me, listening to my ragged breathing
I see you, slipping around inside my head, leaving cracks behind you, leaving them to prove that you were there
I can not ignore the ground shaking under me, though I try
a figment of my imagination run far too wild, a tale told many times
but who are you, a lowly hitchhiker lost within my mind
and maybe your grumbling is suppose to be a sign, of wanting to be free of me, same as I
but if you stopped ripping me to shreds we could work together,
but if you stopped, how would that impact the weather
I hated the storms, hate them more than you
so.. what if you stayed instead, let you wreck you havoc in my head, if only I wont have to taste the rain
I give them disasters as they give me mine.
D Mar 2019
trusting him is easier when i force myself to not look
because prying eyes aren't the eyes to get lost in

trusting him is easier when i dont listen to my gut
because above all else i want to keep him
not looking for answers
D Feb 2014
You're either lying to me
Or you're lying to her
Either way, you're a liar..
You can't just tell me I'm beautiful
Then distract me to say the same
**** thing to that nudist *****!
I understand she's been here longer than I,
And that you two may be close,
But you have a ******* girlfriend now
It's time to let someone go..

*Hurry or I might decide for you..
I want to trust you, but could you at least make it easy for me?
D May 2016
I want to spend my days
writing about you

how you make me feel
like no other could
how angry you make me
and how safe I feel with you

all the little things and big things
that make you who you are

I could write about you for years
and still have more to say

but I wont do it today
