Fifties / no she never
eileen Feb 2018
She just wants someone to love her
Her kids forgot her
So she talks to an *******
For a few days
Let's him play music
Over the phone
And closes her eyes
To embrace the moment
She never felt real love
It's getting late
The moon comes up
A silver hair
Grows onto her scalp
So she plays with men's hearts
First person I've met
Who breaks them for fun

The sun comes up
And her bones grow weak

The song at the end of the line
Ends and she turns mean

She just wants to love
Dance
Be young again
With limitless
Possibilities

A fountain of honest love
As the days pass by
She must accept
It was not made for her

the moon is hidden behind the trees

I had forgotten the sun is moving
the moon following behind
I see it's new place in the sky

I miss you Orion
where are you now

I hope on the other side
when the night falls
someone appreciates Orion's belt

you don't need my love
eileen Jun 2019
the moon fell away
sleepy eyes
I almost cried
you don't understand
it's better to be alone
than living with a ghost
I kept to myself
waiting
for you to leave
let's create the perfect goodbye
I never want to wake up again
if the sun kisses me good morning
I'll never be free
the moon fell away
I ran behind
to far away
I'll never catch up
I won't cry
it's better to be alone
than with someone you loved

forget seventeen
eileen Nov 2019
the people
I cared for the most
are statutes they do not care for me

I was a good friend
a shoulder to lean on
a laugh a smile when no one offered
is it so easy to forget those who love you

the people I called family
running through my blood
disappointed others care for me more

It's november
they're living inside me
November is mine
you can't take it back

don't ask me if I remember you
when I forget you

you don't love me on the weekends
when he wants all your attention
I'm behind you
staring
loveless

you don't love me on Mondays
tired from Sunday
talking on the phone all day
I'm looking for you
heartless

you don't love me
when I love you

I reciprocate

we should love everyday

in times of sun
and clouds

we drift further away

Well I'm not sorry
That everyone's asleep
And have a life for tomorrow
Planned out

Is it strange
I like to cry out
Fake tears

Hm
Strange indeed
I'm gonna keep crying

But don't mind me
It's not real

you're never gonna get my heart
today in the morning you told me you don't really know me
I would be sorry
if I ever led you on
you're never gonna catch me
I'll hold you close
you're never gonna see me grow
today you told me you'll never understand me
I'll be sorry
if you leave me
I'll be sorry
when you're gone
I'll hold myself close
you're never gonna get my heart

Scattered thunderstorms
eileen Jul 2018
If the rain falls
and the clouds cry
thunder screams

Can I hold your hand
and make you hug me


Everyone hopes to go somewhere far

I hope they know that they'll never find another planet that rains gracefully


and other beings
may not feel the peace
when staring out at the rain

so much love can hurt
eileen Feb 2020
hug my bones
still cold

I cut off my tongue
long ago

there's something wrong
there's something wrong with me

not even I
or you can see

my veins are lovely
why do I want to cut them open

don't worry about it
the pain will fade

even if everybody knows
don't cry

oh my mistake
I know it's all my fault

I want to live in my dream
Where I touch the sky

He showed me how to find a face
in a cloud
How to find a smile in a frown

I wish
I could jump inside a flashback

Back when I was
hopeful;
I didn't worry about myself

I must admit
This pain is beautiful

so beautiful
I'll die

ignore my messages
who's the ghost
I never call

I stay behind
staring
the back of your head is interesting

I'd like to know
everything
the stars
offer so much

ignore my happiness
shame on you
who's wrong
I never take the blame

I'll never hurt you
if I did
will it even hurt

I'm lost
you haven't responded
I'm hanging

you treat me like a fool
who's the first to crack

lost
in this confusion

do I deserve it
should I be more demanding

I don't love you
if I did
would you love me back

Goodnight Air
eileen Dec 2018
I feel like being a little lonely

I wish the devil was real
so he could keep me company

I don't know how to put my feelings into words
I don't say nothing at all

Give me your eyes
Your lips
Your ears

I wish you could touch my pain

I can't feel you
You've killed me
You wanted my body
are you happy

I'm super super super

Journals
eileen Nov 2015
The colors seem to change
And I write everyday

They say I am the poet
I am the writer
In the family

Should I take it as a compliment ?

Red to green
Green to blue

I wonder what's next after purple
My journals keep stacking up

And they get better each time

And as years go by
I will use them to
See my old life
i threw them all away

There's no more passion
No more loyalty
No more sincerity

Each day the air is polluted
One day the sky will be black
No stars at night to shine

No more compassion
No more laughing
So serious

All hating
All fighting

Digging for the next
Big thing

No more trust
Everyone for themselves

Stay in your home

Where did all our "good" friends go

Where did the real love go

The peace of our daily life
Filled with
Thoughts and concern
Of these days

Quiet phones
No more calls
Or messages

Can we sleep
With so many countries at rage

All this pointless drama
Over things that don't matter

When will we all get together

To accept the new world
The new generation


So much confusion
To write down

We don't want to

We shouldn't have to

happiness doesn't come often

better than nothing

better than feeling numb

better than waiting for satisfaction

For you

Because that's what friends do..
Except my mind
Says other things

eileen Oct 2019
heard your voice from far away
I hope you quiet down so I can sleep

one drop
two drops
five
it's drizzling outside

drinking a cup of cold cold milk in the rain
teaching myself how to breathe again

catch a falling cloud
sitting around

learning how to breathe
drinking a cup of cold milk in the rain

I love the way
you walk away

left my bleeding heart on the floor

I adore the way
you deceive me

left my mind
half empty

I admire the way
you forget me

I just do

My brain doesn't function well
are you pleased

I embrace
the way you manipulated me

I'm out to get you
steal your dollar bills

you'll love everything about me
just like I do with you
This is for ME, not YOU

Apologies

I guess I don't have a conscious
I don't care what they say
I'll do things my way
even if it hurts someone's feelings

I sleep without thinking
did I hurt you
I just don't know

the sun reminds me of my ego
so prideful
all I ever see is me

I'm sorry
I can't hug you to sleep

I'm sorry
I'm sick
that I'll never
understand

I really haven't learned

open the fridge
pick your poison
don't you hear the water running
don't open the faucet
you smell like shame
you look like the sadness I try to escape
close your eyes and fall asleep
wake up far away from me
in the mornings I can barely breathe
tell everyone to look away
hide my face
they pick a side
they walk away
I trust no one
who says they love me
no one will ever know me
go back inside
I love goodbyes
I hate to see her come
if she calls for me
I'll run
close your mouth love
I hate to see you poison yourself in the afternoons

I will be okay
since you're okay

by the vines inside our lungs
I feel numb wherever I am
I feel gone

will you help me find the next word
it's going downwards
will you help me turn the page
sideways

I'm alright
because you are
we never ask me
how I'm doing
but it doesn't matter
I don't know either

I know you love video games
what do you want from me

It's hurting my brain
I don't want to change
but I want you to like me

I have a million things to say

I turn away

I play out scenarios in my head
I should stop myself

sorry you're parents are homophobic

I don't know when we'll ever talk again
wish I could see you this weekend

hate that you're going through this
I hope you listen to this song

I still love you
I hope you know that

I know you'll be okay
it'll be all be okay one day not so far

sorry your family has a million misunderstandings

about me
about you
about her

I wish you the best
no more hurt
no more sadness

I hope you're growing

spring will come

you will
come back to life

till I became nothing

wake up in the morning

will I ever be enough for you

learn to be quiet
sleep early

will you ever talk good about me

walk away
be stronger than the other person

I can't be warm enough
with your cold heart breathing
killing us gently
loving you delicately

no matter how many months go by
no matter how many nights come to life

every time you look into my eyes
you see my mistakes

I'll never be able to erase

please girl
stay away from me
out of my sight

of being your pawn

I'm a walking tragedy
he knows
we know
I see him in the corner of my eye
peeking through the curtain
I know he's looking
I dreamed
wished upon a blinking star
let me hear his thoughts
I'll never know

use my earrings
may I borrow your lips
take care
so lonely
I'll love you
you will need space
to handle the magnitude
the heaviest you will feel
is with my care and attention

I'm the pouring rain
in this summer heat
I remind myself
to not stick so close
you will melt away
I'll take away your breath
watch your steps
I hear them all
Don't fall
I'll watch you break to pieces
pick a dagger
to hurt you even more

the warmth of love
I swallow
+
easy for me to fall away
easy for me to breathe and fall out of love

you can borrow my heart
no ever keeps it

that have passed away

I became numb
ever since you left me

I wished I was dead
I'm sorry


Overdosed on pain
take me home
back when you had my back

I dream of us together
I know you do too

Wish I hadn't left
leaving us dead

I can't apologize
I never took the blame

Laying in my grave

we could've been such a perfect pair
if I didn't scare you away

oh  well
oh well
your loss

she's not any better
good luck
I'm so much better

I'll be in the shadows lurking
waiting for the heartbreak

if you had chosen me
it would've been everything

it's too late
you can't have us both

I don't take home
leftovers

I play with the strings
that hold you both together

maybe I can sabotage
this just a little

I just want you to be disappointed
and I want her to cry

I crave the destruction
the broken pieces I can take

I hope you both
burn to ashes brightly

Trying to tell her the truth
But her head turns away
Whatever she hears will come out through the other ear

I don't want to talk to a wall

Uh oh
She's gone

Uh oh
I can't help her no more

I love her
But she's far away

Hope one day you'll realize

Held my favorite song
Wrapped it around myself
Like a soft blanket

Now I'm hearing it
As if it's my pillow
Laying down

I know there's bugs outside
Wanting to be inside
I'm scared I'll be sleeping

I don't think
I love you anymore

It's disappearing
Evaporating
Into the clouds

You want to
walk into the sunshine
Wearing all black
You'll sob

I caught myself
Skipping your song
