you
notapoet Feb 2021
you
she's broken
she's scarred
imperfect
and full of flaws
but it just takes one person
one **** person
to see through all of that
all the brokenness
all the scars
her imperfections and flaws
and love them all
love her for who she truly is
love her despite her flaws
love her with all the baggage that she has
because that person would give everything
and anything for her to feel okay
even just for a moment
for her to breathe
for he just wants her to be okay

moonlight
notapoet Mar 2021
As you lay your head
On my shoulders
Feeling your windblown hair
Caressing my cheek,

I can't help but stare at you
How beautiful you look
The moonlight glinting on your cheek
The scent of you hair, wafting the cold air

I can't fathom it
How can someone so
Beautiful and benevolent,
Come to like such a

Broken and misplaced
Person like me

It's your birthday today
So I thought I'd write something
Here goes,

I wish I could say that I love you

Why can't you see what you do to me?
When I see you, my heart races
I have been told that you like me
But not the same way that I do

I want to say I love you, but I'm scared
What if it breaks our friendship?
I can't stand to lose you

What's on my mind?
Can you hear my heart?
I can feel it burn me on the inside
My heart, I sacrifice
Wild and running for one person,
You; will I ever have you

i miss you
notapoet Mar 2021
i miss you when you're beside me
i miss you when you're away
i miss you when you hold me
i miss you when you look away

i miss you when the day turns into night
i miss you when everything seems alright
even if you still need time
i'll wait

a month
notapoet Feb 2021
A month, a whole month
Away from you
Your presence, your warmth
I miss them

And then I saw you
Sauntering your way to my direction
Still beautiful as ever
Enchanting;

And then we hugged
Like two waves crashing in one another
Gently; God I've missed this
I miss everything

You still make me smile
You still send thrills through my body
I still can't take my eyes off of you
I still am stupidly, in love with you

day 1: no contact
notapoet Jul 21
as i open my eyes
the sound of silence
engulfs the room
no good morning text

as the silence continues
noises seep into my head
i give in
give in to the darkness

...

as i lay my head down
on this quiet, cold night
forcing myself to sleep
just so i can dream of you

dream of the memories we made
all the smiles and laughters we shared
dream of a beautiful future with you
dream until reality wakes me up

"don't leave me"
notapoet Jul 11
you said "okay"
i don't know if you're saying that
just to make me feel better
or you mean it
from the bottom of your heart
but whatever it is
you promised not to leave me
you promised not to cheat on me

that's two promises you've broken
how many more will it take
just to have you back
in my arms ?

where did you go?
notapoet Jul 13
i need you so badly tonight
of all nights
tonight is the worst
that I have felt in awhile

countless times i would
open up our conversations
hoping you would be online
just so I can say "hey"

but tonight is not the night
you weren't online tonight
i'm fighting the urge to
text you or call you

but i made a promise
to you, to myself that
i would try to not talk to you
even if i need you badly tonight

goodnight

she's in love with me
notapoet Apr 2021
i think i have fallen in love w you
your smile, your touch, your laugh
you've stolen my heart
or what's left of it

you make me happier than i've ever been
smile brighter than ever before
and laugh harder than i ever have

it's not only that i love you
it's that i'm in love w you
i've fallen deeply, and uncontrollably
in love w you

and so did you

your eyes
notapoet Aug 1
i think it's beautiful
the way your eyes
seem to make me forget
about all my worries
my doubts and troubles
the hurt that you've caused
the grief that you created
they seem to intertwine
with my veins
and carve themselves
into my heart

i have never felt like myself
than when your eyes
untangle my soul

wait
notapoet Jun 19
i'll wait for you
even if it means
that there's no guarantee
of a life with you

i'll still wait for you
even when you moved on
and forget about me
and be with another

i'll still wait for you
even if everyone
tells me to move on
and find another

i'll still wait for you
even when you're holding hands
with another man
laughing and smiling

i'll still wait for you
even if it's means
losing you
and letting you go

i'll still wait for you
because you're the only person
that i have truly ever loved
more than life itself

while she sleeps
notapoet Jun 17
i lay awake
from the moment the moon appears
until the sun takes over
i think of you
i think of all the memories we have made
i think of all the laughs we have shared
i also think
i think of all the things we planned to do
i think of the family we promised we'd have
i think of the places we said we'd go
i think of the years we promised we'd have

while you sleep
and i lay awake
thoughts flood my brain

for her
notapoet Jul 30
your presence is a warm embrace,
a quiet comfort that only i know.

your laughter, like sunlight breaking clouds,
illuminates my dull world.

your voice, sweet and melodic,
soothes my chaotic mind.

your soul, like an unkempt garden,
full of vibrant colours and life.

with you everyday is an adventure,
a new path ready to explore.

your undying love, a steady force in my life,
a constant source of strength.

today, and everyday,
i am grateful for you.
notapoet Aug 2021
My body doesn't function normally
I miss you,
And my heart, it's not steady
My soul is numb

It feels intense, and the worst part is,
I feel completely out of control
There isn't a whole lot I can do about it
And it *****

Some would say when you miss someone so badly
You pretty much miss a part of yourself
And I agree,
You're a part of me I cannot be away from

I always want you around
It doesn't matter what you're doing
As long as I can see, feel, smell you
I know I'm going to be alright

mornings without you
notapoet Aug 2021
as the sun creeps
over the horizon
a new day begins

i awake from my slumber
as my hands skate across my bed
i remember
you're not with me

i don't feel your warmth
against my back

i don't see your countenance
in the bright morning light

i don't feel your touch,
those soft supple hands
98 · Feb 2021
she's not you
notapoet Feb 2021
I thought it'd be easy
To love somebody else
Other than you
But I keep wanting you

I still think about the time
When you were held close to me
Our bodies pressed
The cold dissipating
With your warm touch

She's not you
She doesn't make me feel
The way you do
Her touch doesn't send sparks
The way yours do

Even though I may look happy,
Or smiling, or laughing,
My mind is thinking of you
My heart is missing you
My body is aching for your touch
She's someone I care about,
But she's not you

i miss you
it's as if the world is less vibrant,
like a painting that's lost its colours
i find myself
unconsciously finding you in crowds
my heart skipping a beat
whenever i see someone with similar hair
or the sudden waft of your lovely perfume
i recognise so well
but you're not here
as dissappointment takes over,
i realise you're not here

tell me
notapoet Apr 2021
tell me
tell me everything that's happening
in that beautiful mind of yours
what do you feel when you look at me

do you get nervous around me
does your stomach fill with butterflies
do you think of me as much as I do
does your heart palpitate faster
whenever our hands meet
craving for our fingers to intertwine

because I do
I feel it all

summer eyes
summer eyes
oh so beautiful
summer eyes

i saw you sitting there
and i can't deny
the fact that you give me
butterflies

the sweet scent of your hair
travelling in the summer air
holding an open book
with no care to spare

you looked my way
like a predator eyeing it's prey
and then you turned away
and everything turned gray

summer eyes
summer eyes
oh so beautiful
summer eyes

understand this my dear
notapoet Sep 2021
you'll never comprehend
just exactly how much
i love you

you'll never believe
that i would do
absolutely anything
just to see a smile on your face

you'll never understand
how completely stunning you are
how pure your heart and
how honest your soul is

i would climb mountains,
sail every sea,
and roam the infinite sky
just to see you

afraid of you
notapoet Apr 2021
afraid
everybody is afraid of something
spiders,
death,
commitment

whereas i,
am afraid of only one thing
i'm afraid of what happens next
the future
and whatever it brings

i'm afraid that you won't be in it
i'm afraid i won't see you again
i'm afraid that you might be
temporary

therefore i prolong
whatever this is

casting away whatever doubts
that i have been having
ever since you said those 4 words
"i like you too"

i'm afraid of losing you

ecstasy
notapoet Aug 2021
I'm sure nobody cares
Whenever I post one of my 'poems'
But I post them anyway
Life of a poet I guess

The previous sonnets that I wrote
Were about this girl,
This wonderful, life-changing person
That has impacted my life a certain way

Well, I've been pursuing her for awhile now,
Wrote 'poems' about her
Even sent some to her, for her
She reads them, every time

Few months go by,
We sit together at the table, facing each other
She looks up at me and I know she's going to ask me something
It's that look that I know so well

She says, "Are the poems you wrote about me ?"
I falter, I cave in, I hesitate telling her
After what feels like forever, I finally look to her and say
"Yes, the poems are about you"
81 · Jun 19
without her
notapoet Jun 19
it's a lonely life without you
the birds don't sing in the morning
the sun doesn't shine as bright
coffee tastes bad
the shower is always cold
sleeping is hard
waking up is hard
everything reminds me of you
everything

how do you do it
how do you go on about your day
without me

Heart shaped lips
notapoet May 2021
Nervous
Why am I nervous ?
The sight of you so close to me
Upside down

All I can see is your luscious lips
Those lips that I've been dreaming of
As you speak your words
It all just comes and goes

Because all I'm thinking of,
The only thing I'm focusing on,

Are those heart shaped lips

memories
notapoet Apr 2021
let's make a bunch of new memories
together
me and you
a bunch of **** to remember by
we will laugh about it as years go by
we can make sad ones, happy ones
it doesn't matter
as long as we're together in that memory

or if we don't work out
we will have those memories
we can visit them in our head
and laugh about it
for we were happy
and we will be happy

two weeks
can feel long for some
but it can also feel so short

two weeks
is how long i had you
to hold you close in my arms
nuzzled on my chest, safe

two weeks
until i see you again
until i am able to hold you
softly feel your lips on mine

two weeks
can feel short for some
but it can also feel so long

i'm attached to you
notapoet Jul 14
your silence hurts so bad
that i actually start to feel
physically sick

my thoughts feel completely
chaotic and obsessive
often about you

it drains me to act like
everything is fine
but emotionally i feel so tired of it all

i start to put my phone on silent
because i know i can't handle the pain
of waiting for your text

everything else feels numb to me
because all i ever think about
is you

it gets pretty lonely
so lonely that it hurts
and i don't know if i'll get over this feeling

i long for the day
when you tell me it was a mistake
and you want me back

but today is not the day

do you know
notapoet Jun 21
do you know why
i feel like i'm taking
this break up far worse
than you

it's because
i found you
i found love with you
when i wasn't even looking for it

you just happened
to fall into my love
and made the deepest mark
imaginable

you were there for me
in my darkest times
when i felt as if
life wasn't purposeful

you brought back my smile
you brought back my laughter
you brought back
my will to live

and maybe
just maybe
you could fall back
into my life again

if i wait for you

give you a kiss
notapoet Aug 13
i will start by
kissing your forehead gently

then i'll trace my lips down
to your left cheek
and kiss it tenderly

on to the right cheek
my favourite cheek
and kiss it, so softly
on that mole that i love so much

afterwards,
i'll slowly make my way
to the side of your luscious lips
and kiss where
the corner of your lips meet

on to the other side of your lips
i kiss lightly
and sometimes i would tease you
with the tip of my soft tongue

then i'll lower my lips
to your chin
and i'd part my lips slightly
to give you a loving kiss on your chin

then i would go back up
to your nose
that cute little nose i adore so much
and give it a teasing peck

lastly, my favourite body part of yours
since the day i saw you
until this present day
your full, plump lips

as i kiss your lips
warmth and softness takes over my heart
we linger there, two lips forming one
our heartbeat matches, and become one
time stops
or at least i feel like it did

it's the best feeling ever
when your lips are interlocked
with someone you truly love
with you

hanging out
notapoet Aug 8
the best times we've had
were staying home
in the comfort of our bed
watching tv shows and movies
with no obligation the next day

sometimes we would have
what we call movie nights
we would watch a movie
at a nearby theatre till late at night
just so we could spend more time
with each other walking home

those are the best times we've had
together
with the comfort of each other
hands intertwined
fingers locked with one another
those are the memories
i hold close to my heart

i wish we could do that again
i'm hopeful we will
like you said before
our story isn't over yet

heart break
notapoet Jun 14
friday, 24th may
exactly three weeks from today
the day you shattered my heart
into a million tiny pieces

the day you gave up on us
the day you let yourself
fall in love with someone else
speechless

i remember looking away from the text
staring blankly at nothingness
"i knew it"
then everything went silent

my space where my heart is supposed to be
is now empty
i gave my whole heart to you
so you would take care of it

but you threw it away
you threw 3 years away
for someone you met 2 months ago
you broke me
59 · Jun 20
how could you
notapoet Jun 20
i find myself
looking through photos of us
videos of us on my phone
more recently
wondering where it all went wrong
how did you go from
the most loving, caring
the sweetest person in the world
to the most heartless person
we were in love
we had so much together
suddenly you gave up
you gave it all away
you gave up on me
when you promised me you wouldn't
you said you would stick by me
forever
58 · Jun 23
so stupid
notapoet Jun 23
why did you have to break my heart
was your love not strong enough
to stop whatever you were doing
was our relationship not important enough
for you to say
"hey, this is wrong. this is wrong"

apparently not, because you went and did it anyway
you laid on the same bed with another man
you laid on his chest and made your mark
you let another man kiss your cheek,
your forehead,
your lips...

how could you
how could you do all that, and still say
"i love you baby"
you held hands with another man
hands that were promised to be for me, only
you let yourself gaze at another man's eyes
and let yourself fall in love with him

worst part is
even after breaking my heart
to a tiny million pieces,
i am still, madly in love with you
maybe i am stupid
so stupid to forgive you and wait for you
but there's nothing else i want to do

i still want you
notapoet Jun 13
It does not feel the same
when you're gone
when you're not in my arms
when i can feel your presence in the room

your texts don't feel the same anymore
they were once filled with love and laughter
now they're just dry and bitter
you text me because you have to
not because you want to

because i know who you want to text
i know where all the love and laughter
has gone to

i was once your love
you've ****** me dry and left me empty
left me with nothing but the void
the void which longs for you

your words don't feel the same anymore
your love for me is slowly going away  
i can feel it going away

notapoet Jun 17
it hurts like hell
when you know
you need to let go
but you can't
because you're waiting
for the impossible
to happen
your mind tells you
to let go
but your heart
tells you
to hold on
the happiest times
were the memories
we created together
how am i
supposed to forget all that?

how am i
supposed to forget
you?
notapoet Jul 24
i hope i don't forget you
how you look,
the sound of your laughter,
the voice i know so well

i don't ever want to forget you
even when time passes by,
and my mind starts to forget you
i hope it leaves behind
the memories that we have made

just so i can relive them
and remember how you look,
the sound of your laughter,
and the sweet voice i know so well

my everything

without you

i remember the first time
we started talking
you were the reason
i started laughing again
the reason i started
feeling hopeful again
the reason i felt
important again
the reason my problems
didn't seem so bad anymore
the reason i fell asleep
with a smile on my face
the reason i found motivation again
you truly have made my life
a million times better

but yeah, you left me.

detached
notapoet Jul 12
the distance between us grow further
the words we speak grow shorter
our conversations, once a flowing river
now it's barely a trickle

i remember when we'd talk for hours
now silence fills the spaces
texts from you make my heart soar
but it's quiet now, like a door without a door

i wonder about your day, thoughts, dreams
but asking feels like a shout
are you drifting away ? or am i ?
our connection once so strong, now is weak

i miss you so much, your laugh, your smile
the way you'd talk about things you love
now, each word feels measured
as if our time together is faltering

yet hope lingers in my heart, stubborn
that we might find our way back
for love, tested by time and distance
can bridge any gap, if we give it a chance

so i'll hold onto our memories
hoping this silence is a phase
for even in this quiet, lonely space
my heart still beats for you

as i have said a million times
i will say it a million times again
i love you wholeheartedly
you're my soulmate

life is still moving
even though there's a feeling
of emptiness, something missing
life still moves on
things we used to do
places we used to go
foods we used to eat
jokes we used to laugh at
feels incomplete without you
sometimes i find myself avoiding
the places we used to go to
so that i won't cry in public
but sometimes i seek to go to those places
purposefully
just so i can relive those moments i've had
with you
the impact you have made on my life
for just being in it,
for just existing
had helped me shape
the person i am now
i never want us to be strangers

three simple words, yet so profound
each time they fall upon my ear
my heart feels warm
like a ray of sunshine,
after a long cold night

those words feel like home
after a hard days work
like a long hug
after months away from you
three words

like sunlight breaking through the clouds
those words make all my worries
disappear
like a perfect song
that turns the darkest day to light

each time you say those three words
all my doubts and troubles dissipates
happiness takes over
for in those three syllables
i find my happiness in you

these past few nights
have been the hardest for me
the quietness of my room
without you is amplified
i find myself replaying memories
like it's a movie in my head
cherishing and remembering
the good times we had,
while questioning to myself
"what went wrong"
sleep becomes both an escape
and torture
as dreams of you often brings you
back to life, back to me
in my arms
only for the harsh reality
to hit harder upon waking up
the remnants of your touch
still lingers on my body
even if it has been months
from being touched by you
