Existentialism
eileen Dec 2018
Why must the people around me
view me with no depth
I feel hollow
a two-dimensional being
living in the wrong plane
I feel no gravity
my face has no expression
my words have no meaning

Why must people
disregard
my feelings
my life

Am I real?
I wonder
if I am a piece of paper

I stand inside
indefinite grounds

I live in a black and white
world

my color stripped away

leaving me
in a realm
of all year long
winter reign

disclosure
eileen Dec 2018
perhaps I treat my beloved poems unfairly
I leave them outside in the cold
put them to bed frozen
I shut them out
when they wish to speak
and pressure them to
when they sleep
I've become selfish
and torture
poetry
I use to dance around them
keeping us warm
my bitter heart
doesn't mind
I can hear
countless poems
cursing my name
shouting in vain
drowning
in a bathtub
mixed
with lost words
and myriad mistakes

If my hands are cold

hideaway my skin
and bones
I'll put my face away too
eileen Dec 2018
plant some flowers
on my neck
watch them die
and make more again

Water me down
watch me grow
and blossom

Tear off my petals
pick at the thorns

Caress my leaves
trace the craved lines
into my skin

build me up strong
tear me back down
I was pulled from the ground
only loved for my beauty and liveliness

When I begin to wither
when I begin to wilt
my roots are rotting
I'm yellow with death
pull me apart from the weeds

I dream of pretty bones
and comfy coffins

I rest in peace unloved
killed by roses

my phone broke again
the shattered screen
tickles the pads of my fingers
my phone is broken
what am I without
the internet
without the unknown
muted voices
it's my mistake
can I buy a new one?
what am I
without validation
without
their artificial love
please give me your heart
my phone is broken
reflecting
my state of mind
can I turn it off now?

a brief inquiry
eileen Nov 2018
let my skin heal
my scars
died
into dead leaves
it's winter
they're all dead

piles of burgundy
on the concrete

don't wait outside for me
I'll always stay inside

thank you
for loving
my words
and lies

I believe I have no face

slowly
waves crashed
creating
a face

within the words
and endless letters
eileen Nov 2018
drinking
water
tea
milk
liquor

lips dry
fingernails
bad conditions
skin is rotting

where do I find such desire
to take care of myself

to love me

skin
on fire

I can't listen
I can hear nothing

windows rattling

I'm afraid one speck of skin
torn off
will tear me apart

I'm sorry I didn't say thank you

Those weren't my intentions

I almost killed somebody

Don't you mind

I'm having a heart attack

8 AM

I've arrived

Heaven's gates
are closed
my soul is trapped

Eternal flames
cover my body
I'll burn alive

I'm gonna miss somebody

No one minds

I want my death
to shake the world

I want my death
to be known

Because
I am a nobody

I have no face
I have no body

I'm so transparent
You can't see me

So please love me
Treat my ghost well

diabolic love
eileen Nov 2018
new year
new face
I've got no plans
I've spent all
my hope
on lost family and friends

how I'd love to swim
inside a river again

look up to the sky
only to be blinded
by the pale clouds

I'm a walking overdose
sometimes you just want a slice of skin
that's what he tells me
cutting up his wrists

how I'd love to be in my bed again
with my heavy teddy bear timothy

ask me anything
I should know

I'm clean
I'm clean
a little mean
I don't answer to anyone
I'm scared they'll see

sleepless nights
asleep
I'm dreaming wide awake
the light is coming in

I'm not who I'm supposed to be
I'm not someone you should believe in
I'm not who I want to be
I'm not someone you should trust

years of wishing death

I've seen the end

I don't fear death
death fears me

the less I know
here comes the worst

the less they know
the better

my mind grows weak

I think all I've ever wanted
was more life

he's got me dancing
he's got my head

prince of darkness
caress me to sleep

eternal warmth
in his cold arms

I just came back from a time loop
I was right beside you
You were drinking black coffee
You couldn't stop talking

Your first mistake was the frown on your face
the time and date were out of place
secondly
my mind was in outer space

I see a demon
dressed as a little girl

why don't you show me
what's diabolic love

I've got red roses to burn
I've got yellow roses to hold

I live in a time loop
the feelings I lived with
years ago
have resurfaced

trying to be
what I'm supposed to be

all these feelings in my chest
make me disappear
into the darkness

I was the Snake
eileen Nov 2018
If only I could cut my face smaller
shut my lips
and close my eyes forever

I broke a rule
broke two

I'm a mismatch

I broke the rules
only to tell people not to

I wish I could pull off my ears
grow longer legs

If only I could see myself
the way she did

Now we rest
miles away

I can't remember the feeling of your love

I left because I was tired of living with ghosts

You and I
no longer met each others eyes

Your voice didn't reach my heart
When you couldn't hear mine

I'm living in the American dream

Swimming pools
at 7 degrees

Moments fall around me like snow

When I die
I will see all the snowflakes melt

Don't let me down
eileen Nov 2018
Don't calculate me
pretend to know me

There's no understanding
for my broken love

Love
My love

It's the ending of November
Rain
Wind
Leaves

Standing under a red tree
Crying
let me go to sleep
wake me up in April

All I see is green love
Love
My love

This life treats me like a stranger

Don't pretend to know the meaning of my words
If so you're in danger

Stop stop stop stop talking

You're not the one

You know nothing

Galaxy Girl
eileen Nov 2018
I wish I could see the moon with admiration
now all I do is spit out hatred

A child
filled with worry
insecurity
said he could spot me
anywhere in the world
looking for my glossy
lustrous
hair

I'm not taking her back
I'm not going back

The only way I can sleep
I can only walk foward

What the ****
Were you thinking

You keep looking at me
like I'm someone else

He calls me planet girl

I orbit around black holes

Thankful
a little grateful
I should be

Everyone loves using me

I never grow old

Always calling me out

I hurt you
I'm the one to blame

I carry the shame
You play the victim
it doesn't make sense

You're hurt
You're sad

It doesn't matter to me
as it did back
when we were tangled up

Our love felt like a knot
I've only tried to cut you out

Before you call me out

I'm hurting too
I wish I could go and see you
for a little while
Just a day

I carry the shame
I'm the one to blame

I'm guilty

I'm no saint

I carry this infinite darkness inside
I'll let it spill
just cut my head off
let me think silently

Can you find the Ghost?
eileen Nov 2018
hiding inside dressing rooms
I know that I'm not supposed to

My friends
his friends
the smell of beer
music blasting
in our ears
I'm hiding in the bathtub
spilling out my tears
I shouldn't
But I still do it

My father is outside
my bedroom
dim lights
in the corner of my closet
I don't know

Everytime time I close my eyes
I find paradise

They want to find me
I'm in plain sight

I was there when our world fell apart

I'm here now
as mine falls to my feet

I can't even see

Hiding inside my head

I still do it

Butterfly dreams
eileen Nov 2018
There was a time
when I asked questions

I received answers

Now such thing is a disaster

Keep my thoughts to myself
locked in a box

I'm a heavy cloud
waiting to rain down

darkness reigns
inside me

living in a butterfly dream

There's a constant storm in my ear

We all love in good nature

I live in silence
eileen Nov 2018
It's been a sentimental month
filled with sweat, tears, and fake smiles
Impulsive actions
sleeping early in the morning
Sixteen years have gone by
She's getting sentimental again
this month has been a raging storm
much like the one in Jupiter

Sixteen years have passed
She's sentimental

City walks
under the street lights
uneasy
quiet feelings

driving in the rain
waiting to get there

///////////the/////////////////////////////////////////////

I know the world is inside a dark time
the moon lies silent
the sun isn't singing

There will come a time
soon
We'll have a moment of peace

The earth will take a deep breath

The moon will start dancing
and the sun will sing its lullaby
eileen Nov 2018
She's walking into a forest
With a green nightgown

Looking for answers
under the small moon

Orion's belt
on top
of the roof

I got no time
for the trouble in my eyes

I'm looking behind
I can't change
there's no end
to this pain
it'll bloom in the winter
wash away with spring's fears

I stayed up all night
the morning sky looked like a dream

If dreams feel so real
why does my reality wake up to a daze

you're acting like cupid
so stupid

there's no love here

shutting you out
there's nothing to see you for

I'm holding myself to sleep now

let me go home
where the clouds
never disappear

there's a pink sky
the sun stays in twilight

stop looking at me
like that other girl

she's gone

feeling like a
gone girl

ready to lie
to my loved one

I questioned myself
why is there no light

must you go blind
hold my hand
I'll guide you

open doors
water faucets

we both know
what's it like to lose

this is life
pain
suffering
with one smile to love

we both know what it's like to lose

don't lose me
I don't want to lose you

come
   look outside
the winter sun

this is life
lost forever
waiting for someone to find you

the afternoon fell away
waiting for the Milkyway

I'll be honest now
don't look away, say nothing
I'll take off my skin

I want to feel real
no ending or beginning
let me feel something

I might not come back
there's a meteor shower
off to catch a star

like I'm someone else

you're going blind
let go of my hand

impressive dreams on your couch

slept a 5 am
didn't hear you coming in

feels like I'm the chosen one
I hear the earth cry
the trees are falling asleep

am I the only thing on fire
in this freezing winter

REASONS TO LIVE
it was filled with names
reached the bottom
didn't worry about them

I'm making the list
can't find someone to hold
nothing comes to mind
worried for myself

never did I write my name


I don't know how to feel
fear
guilt

worried about my life
and loved ones

I don't know

It seems all meaningless

reminds me of her
she always blew me a cold kiss

eating ice cream when it's zero degrees

ice queen
she covers the sky
with an independent gloom

I'm waiting on the snow
she gives the best shows
wearing glittery shoes

eerie feeling
you aren't here with me
I almost felt you beside me

I need to let her go
move on

sitting on a used bed
your presence disappeared into the pillow sheets

opened a journal
like a treasure map

running around
trying to get me back

hiding inside a box
without a lock

almost died
I cried
bled
felt the end of the world

everyone knows me
that's not the truth

pages
I spilled myself on

under a lake

asking myself
why does my heart
feel so heavy

can't hold a pen

I hear odd sounds
as if I lived underwater

presents
a book filled with empty pages
standing in front of me

I should know

I'm running away
from myself

I know myself
that's not the truth

////
don't come looking around for someone who doesn't exist
don't go loving someone who doesn't feel the same

hi hello
what's your darkest truth

black holes
******* in all common sense
feeling a little like outer space
my blood filled with stardust

name me
like an unknown
alien

I'll show you the galaxy

I've got no home
everywhere I go

temporary
floors

hey
are you still hurting

I should've known
you would hurt me

why am I so naive

never thought you would make me feel so small
so gone

I'm not going back

don't talk
don't think
don't look at me


I'm rotting
inside my own heart

thank you

for killing me

The black ocean

I must remind myself this is real
I'm living
these moments I live
living by the ocean

Flash through my eyes
It's like holding onto a leafs stem
in the middle of a hurricane

Don't want the city lights to reach an end

It's only the beginning
of a rainy night

Passing cars
The sea calls to my heart

A fire
A rain

Love from a place
almost stabbed me to death

I feel my blood push and pulling
within the waves

I must hold on

remind me this is reality

Moments like these pass too quickly

Visions
Orange hues burning like a fever

The night can hold so much pain
filled with chances,
bright lights

I'll give you all my money
my heart
I'll buy you socks
candy and whatever you want

will that make us best friends
feels like we're almost lovers again

but you're talking
with somebody else

felt like we could become
everything

as we laid in your bed
2 am

falling asleep on my shoulder

I turned into dust

morning came
I didn't remember where I'd been

suddenly the feeling went away

we are distant as ever

whatever I thought we had
didn't last forever
eileen Nov 2018
I met a stranger today
said he missed me
I've been away
for months
but I don't know remember his name

I put a pause on real life
just to feel stuck inside my own mind

How I miss you dearly
nobody will ever miss me
like I do

everyone forgets too soon

No one is coming

I saved myself this morning

when I don't answer the phone
so lonely

when I take too many showers in a day
crying tears mixed with water falling on my head

what should have I done

I've told you all the things I've done

nothing ever changed


so I became so lonely
lonely

I'll never be someone else

so lonely
so lonely
