would you see
alexandra Oct 2020
sometimes I wonder how you would see yourself if you had my eyes.

would you see the delicate man I see,
the one that when he smiles, melts away all my pain.

would you see the strong man I see,
the one that puts others before himself.

would you see the brave man I see,
the one that faces adversity with a full grin.

would you see the girl I am,
the girl who you love.

would you see me,
and how I love you in ways words cannot explain.

your love
alexandra Oct 2020
i love you more than my heart is capable of loving.
each beat echoes my love for you.
your love pours within my veins,
fills my body,
and warms me.

your love gives me life.

love is like a rose
alexandra Sep 2020
pure love is like a rose
it will grow when watered
and wilt when the day runs dry

it wont last forever
but for a moment
it will exist

eventually there will come a time
where thorns so delicate will grow
they will mask themselves
so even the pain resembles bliss

remember to forget
alexandra Sep 2020
you make me remember.
remember what it feels like to let go.
you give me complete liberation.
I am free from the confinement your love once brought.
when I remember you,
I forget all things.

when I remember ..

call me
alexandra Sep 2020
I like it when you call me when you're drunk.
it makes me feel less crazy.
at least I know you think of me,
even if its in the absence of your sobriety.

forever bright
alexandra Sep 2020
Long drives where the sun shines
Crystal clear skies and starry nights
These are moments spent with you
Where the beautiful days
Never seem to turn to night

A love that is forever bright.

eyes

I've heard that the eyes never lie.
I hope that isn't true.

For every time you watch her walk by,
My eyes are drawn to you.

goodbye lover
alexandra Sep 2020
I see you in my dreams
your presence seems to forever linger
I wonder if you touch her body
the same way you'd trace me with your finger

forever lover
alexandra Sep 2020
images of you fill my mind
the sound of your laughter lingers
you are more than a memory
you’ll live forever inside me

flooded
alexandra Sep 2020
heavy thoughts race through my brain,
of our perfect love flooded by pain.

now too hard to stop the rain,

i'd die to hear you say my name
Sep 2020 · 82
a version of you
alexandra Sep 2020
I still see that version of you.
That one night by the water.
I wish I could live it through once more,

Because if I could,
I’d make it last a little longer.

I am a poet
alexandra Sep 2020
I am a poet.
I feel emotions deeply but i do not show it.
Words sway my soul as my thoughts roll with the tides.

I feel deeply but it is masked by disguise.

my eyes
alexandra Aug 2020
Nobody knows you like I do.
I hold that thought in my mind.
No matter how hard they try,
They will never see you as I.
You are so special,
It cannot be disguised,
That they will never be me,
And they will never see you through my eyes.

whisper in my ear.

that one day you'll no longer be here.

my sun
alexandra Jul 2020
the sun does not choose to rise,
and I do not choose to love.
as the new day begins and sun fills the sky,
your warmth fills me from above.
for you are my sun,
the light of my life.
please don’t go,
I am afraid of the night.

midnight state of mind
alexandra Jul 2020
the night takes over my mind.
suddenly - i am filled with darkness.
my heart, a broken record.
the words spin.
over and over again,
midnight rotates forever in my head.

lost love
alexandra Jul 2020
you showed me love,
but you brought me pain.
you showed me life,
but you embodied death.
you gave me purpose,
but you labelled me worthless.
you were nothing but trouble,
how could i have loved you.

I fell in love in July
alexandra Jul 2020
i fell in love with you in july.
bursts of your love shot like fireworks in my soul.
first a hello,
now a goodbye.
newfound love, all a lie.
i lost you in july.

a moment
alexandra Jul 2020
I found you by accident.
two imperfect people,
lost, yet found by each other.
you were a brief moment in my life,
a fragment in time.
we were not meant to be.
but in your arms,
I found a moment of serendipity.

lost love
alexandra Jul 2020
I see everything differently. I used to drive down the road and think nothing of it, only noticing the trees and the people walking by. Now, each time I drive down the road I look for your face, hoping that in the crowds of people I would notice you. When I look at the trees I don’t admire their beauty, I search for your beauty in them. When I listen to music, all the songs remind me of you. Because now all of the sudden, each lyric is a note once written from me to you - perfectly describing how I feel for you. The coffee I drink reminds me of you too - I cannot run from you. For with each sip I am reminded of how you only drink black coffee, and with each swallow I take, I think of how if you were here you would criticize me for drinking it with cream. When I walk by the water I think of you. I think of how you kissed me by the water, held me, touched me, spoke to me - each wave that crashes floods my mind with memories of you. When I hear somebody yell, I hear you yelling. I hear your loud, raspy, and tired voice call out to me. I hear you say my name. I hear it all - my mind plays your voice like a record, the sound revolving in my head constantly. When I stare at this page, I cannot stop myself from thinking of you. I wonder what you would think of me if you read this. Would you laugh and call me pathetic or would you love me for it? I will never know. I often question what you are thinking about, and I often hope it is of me. I see life differently, each day when I wake I hope that the day brings me closer to you. I see the sun differently. When its beams shoot into the universe, and the heat touches my skin, I imagine that it is the heat of your skin against mine. You are the sun. As I write this I feel your emotions - I feel your hurt. I know you are no longer mine, however I feel as if I am still yours. When I think of love, I think of you - after all love isn’t easy, it is something you fight for. I will fight for you - I do not have you, but I will not lose you.
Jul 2020 · 191
you
alexandra Jul 2020
you
I miss you.

Your voice repeats in the back of my head. Your touch now a distant memory. I remind myself, you are not mine, you were never mine.
I remind myself - you can’t lose what was never yours - but I feel as if I have been stripped of my most prized possession. I miss the sweet nothings you'd mutter, I miss the way you spoke. The thought of you pains me yet I continue to think of you. I cannot bring my mind to a halt. Memories of you and I flood my mind as I fear that I may forget you. But how could I forget you. I brush my fingers across my chin the same way you once did. I still feel the grooves of your fingertips. I am heavy. The weight of sorrow and sadness flow through me like a raging stream, crashing, and breaking me down from within. Every inch of my skin craves for yours. I am numb. I guess this is goodbye. You were the one who showed me how to love myself. You lit a ever-burning flame within. You will linger forever in my heart. I miss you. Oh god do I ******* miss you.

I had you. I lost you. I miss you.

You will burn forever in me.

what world
alexandra May 2020
born in a world with so much to discover,
by the age of eight we begin to wonder,
as we grow up why does a place once filled with colour,
begin to make us shudder

put me together
alexandra May 2020
skin of porcelain, dolled up face, and a fabricated grin.
violet painted lips mutter the words, “I don’t love him anymore”.
goosebumps cover her skin once grazed by another,
he holds her, but he is not her lover.
both so broken, shattered hearts expressed in words better left unspoken,
whispers fill his ears.
“put me together,
i am broken.”
a lost love

I do not fear
alexandra Apr 2020
I do not fear the night.
The darkness that fills my surroundings provides me with comfort.

My mind may wonder,
And my thoughts may be consumed,
But I do not fear the night.

I fear losing you.
You are unpredictable.
I fear you.
I fear that if I lose you,
I will lose myself.

I do not fear the night.
I fear losing myself.

You are like the darkness.
I have lost myself in you.
I fear I will never find an escape.

organic love
alexandra Feb 2020
as the air wisps between the branches of the trees,
I can't help but think of you and me.

how the wind caresses each individual leaf,
and wraps around the stems.

our love is like the air and the trees.

every touch,
every moment,

I am wrapped in your love.
Feb 2020 · 87
maybe
alexandra Feb 2020
there are some things I wish I could change.
like the way I see myself.

because maybe,
just maybe.

if I saw myself differently,

         so would you.

a letter from me to me
alexandra Feb 2020
I love every single thing about you

The way you smile,
The way your hair drips down onto your shoulders,
The way you are fearless,
The way you love

I wish you saw yourself as I see you

goodbye
alexandra Dec 2019
for every day I miss you
every breath one too many,
every thought one too deep,
each touch further away from you,

please don't go,

I love you

seasons of love
alexandra Mar 2019
Oh the seasons of your love.

The sweet air of spring and
The warm sun the summer brings.
The crisp wind and colour of the fall.
The delightful beauty of it all.

And in the winter when the world is ice,
You hold me close and tight.

A love so right.

The seasons of your love.

serendipity

Oh how beautiful are we.
A product of serendipity.
Lost feelings of ambiguity.

You next to me.

Cloudless nights
Loves in flight
You & I

I love you
alexandra Mar 2019
You do not know how I loved you.
For the day I met you my life was no longer mine.

Each smile, each laugh, each touch we share,
It hurts a little more that you are no longer there.

I was once in love with you.

-

I love you.
Mar 2019 · 355
need
alexandra Mar 2019
I do not need you, I remind myself as I constantly think about you.
You are just an accessory in my life, something optional, something extra.

In my mind, I do not need you.

Yet in my heart,
You are the only necessity.
Mar 2019 · 508
I am wounded
alexandra Mar 2019
I am wounded.

My heart is torn.
Like a shattered pane of glass,
The pieces are sharp and rigid.
It appears I am broken.
It appears.

You dig your hand deep into my pile of pieces,
And you put me back together.
You are cut.
It appears.

Countless times I sit wondering why I am such a mess.
Until you came.

You put me back together.
You hurt for me.

I am healed.
Mar 2019 · 330
no place
alexandra Mar 2019
you are so great to me
you are my sanctuary

lost in your arms, there is no place I'd rather be

heart's angst
alexandra Mar 2019
I can close my my eyes and let you in.
I can open my mind and push you out.

My heart, oh that *******.
Push it, pull it, not a single twitch.
Mar 2019 · 204
A Mark
alexandra Mar 2019
Like the scent of salt after a day by the sea,
A brush of pollen against the wings of a bee,
The smooth gaze of the wind against the leaves,

You made your mark on me.
A harmony that will forever be.
Feb 2019 · 332
back & forth
alexandra Feb 2019
I sit by my window, hair in a twist, draped in oversized clothing.
I stop and notice my surroundings.

They seem to only be surroundings, until a wind throws them all into a vigorous motion.
The trees flow forward and back I feel them inside of me.

Back and forth, back and forth.

A force of nature acting upon nature.
Oh the simplicity.

I reflect on my own life's nature.
The fabrication of routine,
the oh so un-natural,

Back and forth.

I move in silence.
I am a continuous place (being), where there is no end, nor beginning.
No stop, no go.
Not a single sign of natural flow.

Why can't I be like the trees?
Stand tall and secure, despite being rattled.
Over and over again.
Against all they do not fall.

I can feel them inside of me.
Back and forth.
Feb 2019 · 231
my love
alexandra Feb 2019
It was love wasn't it?
The way you looked at me.
It was love wasn't it?
You understood me in every way.
It was love wasn't it?
We were meant to be together.
It was love wasn't it?
You told me my greatest asset was my body.
It was love wasn't it?
You told me I should try harder.
It was love wasn't it?
I spent my days crying.
It was love wasn't it?
You were my shelter from the storm.

You were the storm.

It was love wasn't it?

touch
alexandra Feb 2019
touch me with your words
and let the syllables gracefully infiltrate my soul.

let your verbatum drown me in a delicate dance that
sparks and stimulates every sense.

without you.
as I wait and long,
for a conversation that never seems to last too long.
Feb 2019 · 136
A Cut
alexandra Feb 2019
Truth is like a knife.
It cuts away until all you're left with are pieces.

Pieces of what was once was stuck together.

Your heart was once whole.

Morning Tea
alexandra Feb 2019
My mind is a brewery for complacence.
Worry steeps my thoughts.
I pour in heaving tablespoons of anxiety,
and overdue the self-loathing.

I stir in my responsibilities,
and it is complete.

My (not so perfect), cup of tea.

wish
alexandra Feb 2019
we wish for tomorrow to arrive
so we once again can wish for yesterday
alexandra Feb 2019
Objectivity and its complexity
Driving me to utter insanity

Oh life and its unpredictable abnormality.
A subjective thought once abstract and full of morality.

Restrained and now sedimentary.

In my mind what once lit on fire,
Turns obstructed, objective, and dire.

For I may not have all I desire,
But my mind will never migrate.

Forever within me lies
A place to dream, love, believe, and hope.

Trapped within the universe
A power defined by no such scope

alexandra Jan 2019
love is like a razor
it peels off the layers of dead skin
only to reveal the most vulnerable

it can be smooth and refreshing
& other times rough and bumpy

and sometimes,
It's a ****** mess

I'm a ****** mess

last night
alexandra Sep 2018
your laugh is truly contagious.
people can say thats a cliché,
yet its not at all that way.

when you smile at me
I cannot help but smile at you
last night thats all we'd do.

each joke, each glare, each smile, each stare.

Its in my mind I choose to ignore .

In my heart last night is what I'm longing for.

*******.
