waiting for something more
the day I leave you
my heart burns away
I sacrificed more than said
more than seen
more than they will never know
I can't feel anybody
rest my soul
cities pull me in
stretching me apart
I lost myself
I lost my body in various locations  
I live forever in the moment
I'm never settling down
countless rooms
I always get a little less
eileen Mar 2018
In the earliest mornings
where the sun is still rising
the moon is saying goodbye
I see a slight glimpse of dust
in the corner of my eye

I feel you beside me
snoring slightly
curled up with a pillow
between your feet

I ask myself
Am I dreaming

In the darkest nights
where I reach my hand towards the sky
and it's camouflaged with the pitch black
I hear your breathing
the blankets shifting

I ask myself
Am I dreaming

In the silent afternoons
when birds chirp
and the clouds fly away
to somewhere it might rain
I smell your perfume
from across the room

tell me
Am I dreaming?
eileen May 2018
I feel a blue summer
can't find my brain
lost it on a walk
to the moon
never back

I love earth
please take care of her

while I'm gone
I might not come back

in these parallel universes
I see the mirrored versions of myself

trying to find the happy me
it seems she doesn't exist
eileen Mar 2018
don't know what to say
need a signal to stay

we keep driving each other away
it hurts to love

the heavy feeling
in my heart

signs
that aren't mine

should I leave tonight
wonder if we ruined another day

feels like a burden
I can hear your hurting

smoke another cigarette
close enough

don't you know
this isn't love
eileen Apr 2018
I want everyone to love me
I crave your love
10w

are you going to leave me
you're alone again

you want me to take the blame

I'll sit all night on the phone
you know I will

I'll answer your call in the morning
will you forget these conversations

I still want to be your world
I'd follow you

I know
I can be replaced

if I close my eyes
I can hear your voice a little longer

these nights
complete me

can they last a little longer
eileen Aug 2018
Your beautiful eyes
a green I've never seen

I'm so nervous

I can barely breathe

When you leave
I can't wait for next Sunday


Hush hush
I want to say something

Keep myself away

I wish you stayed a little longer

Keep myself down

Do you want me

I want to know what
he's thinking

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

eres del cielo
vivo en las nubes
la luna nos habla en la noche
no te entiendo piensas en el sol
no conozco tus sentimientos
quiero ver todos tus pensamientos
i want to write more in Spanish

you try and cover the sun with your finger
but you can't

//
accept the truth
it's so blinding
you can't lie anymore

he went on a trip to lose his soul
drinking acid
in the cold

if you find him
he has tattoos

he has blue feelings
cold

he went on a trip to
lose his soul

now he's gone

I'm a sociopath
I don't understand emotions

well I never had them in the first place

I think of nothing
no one
but myself

very unfortunate

my friend almost died
well it doesn't matter
she's still alive

what am I supposed to feel
is there something I should feel

well I had it bad
but it doesn't matter

maybe I'm so numb
I'd like to treat some people like gum

if everyone is fake
so am I

I'm a lot of things
I'm a liar

carefully
stabbing someone in the back

all to my advantage
I keep everyone's dark secrets close by

feels good to know
I can destroy them in a flash

it's in the middle
of chaos I feel most safe

I love destruction
I love the way people crumble and fall
eileen May 2021
no matter what you do

I'll forever be a fool

I'm weak inside

the guilt finds a way

hate to feel so human

I hate the feeling of forgiveness

when they don't deserve it

or knowing you owe them so much

you will never be able to pay back

there goes the feeling of love

maybe it's not real

you don't even care
eileen Nov 2018
I used to make lists
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


(Lists have caught on fire)

chasing
fireflies

before our sight
chasing green lights

you know
what's in my head
what breaks
my focus

sitting on the terrace
astonishing silence
eileen Aug 2020
I was contemplating suicide
in the living room
while you sat so close in the other room

you played your favorite album on the record player

it's my mistake
I'm okay
but sometimes the thought
crawls into my head

thinking about
would it all be better if I was dead

I feel the same
no matter how much I pretend
I feel the same
no matter how much I try
I feel the same
tell me why

it hurts
to think about all the things I hate

I think of all the hurtful memories
the ones that left me scars

I think what ifs
what if I wasn't here right now

no one is going to hold me tight
no one will tell me it's okay
eileen Sep 2018
In my dream world

I would express my feelings to those close to me

My friendships wouldn't end so quickly

I wouldn't be so shy and talk to people I admire

I could climb the ladder to my roof
without being afraid

My writing isn't messy

I have green colored eyes

I'm the one who everyone loves

In my dream world
I live in the dirt with the trees and grass

I asked him
What's in your dream world

/ / /\ / /

I hope he says
Me

hiding
is all I do

hiding
from the real world
filled with lungs that breathe
and hearts that beat

fever
with a slice of cold
but its alright

I'll stay home by myself

please girl
stay away from me
out of my sight

I'm so tired
of being your pawn

you control the game

when can I say game over

it's a Sunday

someday
someday

you'll say

I shouldn't have treated you that way
eileen Jun 2015
I wish I was you
You wish you were me
When will we ever be happy
Always wanting something
Out of our reach
We do not have
Powers
Be yourself
even if you got envy
for someone else's
pretty skin

I want to give you all your lies and broken promises back

I want to turn back time
and tell myself to not trust you the way I did

now I'm sad because I always think you'll pick me over them
eileen Feb 2016
I often think
Why i only see you
In my dreams

And the strong feeling
I have when i

the flower man is gone

Love is the rain
Love is a sunset
Love is in all nature

Love is pain
Tears washed away
dried up clean
on my face

You must find
and feel true love within yourself

To feel
true love with someone else
eileen Dec 2017
You make me feel normal
and every other feeling I always wanted to feel

so I'm waiting 22 hours
to see you

You make love feel warm
so soft
sleeping with someone
isn't too bad anymore

I didn't like when you looked at me
or touched me
so please look away
stay at a far distance

I hope to be around
that's what you make me feel
waiting 20 hours to see you again

I dream of the future
becoming myself
waiting around to see you for a while
eileen Aug 2020
don't cry

how dare you

I was right here

all the faces

no one saw through mine

all these faces

I can feel your sadness

cheer up

I will be around

even when I don't take your call

feeling so lost

I miss some faces

if you ever go back

tell me

can you see through mine
eileen Nov 2019
tú con la camisa azul

aunque te extraño no te quiero ver

estoy triste
tengo que dejarte
crecer

cierro mis ojos
no te quiero ver

duele pensar en ti
eileen Sep 2021
thought you were cool
I was wrong
now you make me sick

stop chasing me
I'm not someone you can keep

stop talking about me
I'll mess you up
you don't know anything

call me when you grow up

I let you
have your fun

it's entertaining
until I get bored

I can bite your lips
but I'm looking for blood

I hate being lonely
I'm stuck with someone like you
eileen Oct 2017
You're so demure
giving me strange fruits
am I being poisoned

we play chess at
five in the morning
you're always winning
are you cheating

nothing to symmetrical
always parallel
counting our blessings
feeling so worthy

the murmurous people
the ones who appear out the window

you writing is pleasant
I'm so opposite
that's why you don't like me
eileen Sep 2018
A feeling so good
All I see is white and stars
let me breathe you in
haiku
eileen Aug 2018
feels like a flower
I just want to touch her hair
glitter in my eyes

love her too little
too much I might break, not safe
it's 1-800 call me

if you ever want
I can hold your hands in mine
I can help you love
HAIKU

My shadows
Are losing control

I don't If it's me
Or you

I'm running in circles
Yet I can't
Catch you

It's like those
Horror movies
Where everyone dies

Because we were ghosts
Since the beginning of time
Eve

You said you saw me last night
Must have been someone else

I've been asking myself late at night
Am I alive?

Or is my breathing fake

A lost head

I keep reaching out to your fingers
I'm slipping away
From the light
Far into empty space

Am I alive

I want to cry
I want to feel warm
Stand in the sunlight
This new year

I just need your advice

Am I alive?
eileen Oct 2018
cutting out
the thorns

white roses
in the snow

tell me it's all in my head
I've got a pretty face

Evil one
hold me tight

whisper in my ear
snow white lies

the power of darkness
luring me to sleep

endless dream
where I met
the God of this age

fallen
deceiver
hold me

the truth is hidden in the darkness
show me
the truth is always hidden in the shadows
eileen Jun 2018
I've waited a million years to learn my name
every time I start to get closer to the moon
it looks away

my alien friends from outer space
told me I'm too human
so I ripped my heart out

my mother who doesn't understand
my father who doesn't love
I wish I was strong enough to tell them
I don't want to live anymore

I stay up late
hoping to see the night become eternal
I wake up to the selfish sun
I wish the night sky didn't die alone

I wish I was stronger to say
I'm the one with the corrupted mind
eileen Sep 2018
bleeding into the day
whispering to the sky
hug me to sleep

let me be my own
let me embrace myself
I want to shine like a rainbow
teardrops only make me grow
flowers bloom inside my veins

I want to find my home
discover the untold secrets
that this city holds

running
in the rain
in this heat
I want to go
somewhere no one knows
eileen Jan 2019
tell me if I hear a sound
I can't hear much
then
the inside of my chest

tell me if
I can hear a word you say
no no
I don't want to

can I hear a sound
no
I can't hear anything around
maybe it's a curse

wish I could let myself go
even so
it still hurts
eileen Sep 2020
I can't exist in your presence anymore

I don't belong anywhere

I feel like a curse

bad luck follows me everywhere I go

I ruin everyone I touch

I used to be a good person

ever since I lost my soul

I eat everyone else's
eileen Mar 2021
how will I forget this
losing my best friend
now everyone thinks I'm the villain
I really don't care
it only hurts to know someone more
stabbing me
in the back
filled with lies and blind confusion
eileen Oct 2017
now it's all switched around

it was meant for you all along

I said I wasn't going to write
but now I'm sad
and lost

the silk thread we have tied
on our hands
is on tight
pulling us around

we haven't let go
I've had enough

I've never heard silence this loud
it makes me want to crawl
into a hole and hide

I want to forget

I also want to forgive

don't know which you deserve best

smell your cigarette smoke from the second floor
from my window
you should stop buying them
they're so cheap
and you stink
eileen Aug 2019
don't you think
enough is enough

all this sad pain
we can't wash away

you're the hurricane
swept off my feet
lost my head

nothing is ever better than this

don't you think
enough is enough

drink up all the tears
moons away
we're so melancholy

swept off my feet
I'm the violent rain
lost your sanity

nothing gets better than this

we should just give up
eileen Aug 2020
I make empty promises
I wish you'd stop this
I wish you'd notice

we fall behind each other

I had lots of dreams
turn into nightmares

I'm good
I'm really good
sometimes

I'm very bad
so bad
all the time

promises
keep them

I can hear the winter sadness

to be cold and alone
frozen and sad

all these dead promises
fading into the sky
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
eileen Apr 2023
fascinated
with things I can't have
things that don't last

I hate it
I hate myself for all the pain I caused

I'm going crazy in my bedroom
still dreaming about you

deleted all the messages
but you're still haunting me

cursed with your absence
addicted to the faded memories

in the theater
on a map
when I look out a window
all I do
reminding me of you

better off dead
than to live forever
in your ghostly shadow
eileen Jan 2021
I wonder if they have expectations of me
Did they think so highly of me
What do they think of me
Who am i
I tried keeping my distance
I didn’t want any closing
Or friendships
Could’ve kept my mouth shut the whole time

He was friendly
He was nice
He was funny
He was helping
He is not what I thought he was

I’m torn
I hate myself
For trusting a man

I feel stupid and pathetic
innocent and naive

I know i can’t fix anything
If i don’t ask for help

I’m still a coward who wants to run away
My ego is big and I want to prove them wrong
I can’t do both and I can’t do only one

Cooperating
How if i have no reason

I don’t owe them anything
What does anything matter anymore

These past months feel wasteful

I want to throw every memory away

I can still feel his face in my neck

Whispering “do you like it?”
eileen Feb 2018
I swallow my tears back in
Doesn't matter
I want to see you
It doesn't matter
Tears falling
Dust off
Coughing
Laughing darling
Won't you call me
Hold my hand
Your hair so soft
Your eyes shine
Your smile kills me
I can't hold back
Let me touch you honey

I want to breathe in your air
I want to see what you see
I want to be with you please
eileen Oct 2019

eileen Oct 2019
yes I am a liar
I'm a lot of things

coming clean
isn't me

I keep my secrets stuffed inside my pockets
can't catch me red-handed

you said you love me
that's nothing

would you lie for me
would you ever hate me

I trust everyone
so they can trust me

don't look behind my mask
I always come back
tomie's inside

my poems are rotten
I'm the poisoned fruit

this is my getaway
eileen Feb 2019
I love
I love myself
till I break myself down

I hate
I hate myself
till I love myself again

and again
the cycle never ends

wish I could sleep a year away

I love my views
I hate my shoes

I love and I live
I hate and I die

I can't draw the line

I love
I love myself
till I **** myself

I hate
I hate myself
till I come together again

again and again

I can't stop

now I crave
both

I despise myself
I want me all to myself

again
just a little more
