"i love you"

                                                           "do you have any proof?"
chris Nov 2015
there's a storm coming our way,
i dont think we'll make it through

because we are growing farther
and farther apart, the wind pushes
us away from each other and
you're not doing anything to stop it.

you don't make an effort to reach
for me. you don't make an effort
to collect the strewn strings of our
love.  you just let it fly away, into the
storm.

we're at the heart of the storm but

                     i won't make it

                                  through.

how could we

?

but then walk out like nothing ever happened.

I CAN HOLD MYSELF TOGETHER
DURING THE DAY, I CAN OCCUPY
MYSELF WITH MINDLESS TASKS OR
SLEEP TO ESCAPE IT ALL. BUT AT
NIGHT IS WHEN I START TO UNRAVEL
AND MY EYES LEAK AND MY INSIDES
SPILL OUT AND POOL INTO MY LAP. I
AM STRUGGLING TO KEEP MY HEAD
ABOVE THE WATER AND IT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN TOO SHALLOW TO
DROWN IN BUT I THINK IT'S FINALLY
DEEP ENOUGH

i just

when i was a kid
i didn't understand
why people
would beg to leave this place.

they would call it boring,
and ugly
and terrible.

it was only until now that
i understand.
it wasn't the place,
it was the people.

this world we live in
offers such beauty
but it's often the people
that make it ugly.

it will topple soon

i wish..

i wish to feel whole, alive again

i wish to feel your arms around me, once more

i wish you would come back to me
3 wishes

i would ****
to be your clothes

cling to your body
and hang from your bones

i would ****
to be the cold

tracing your body
and shaking your bones

you make me speechless,
you take all my words away
and you smile at me, innocently,
not knowing what kind of effect
you have on me, a love spell.

the sad truth is
so many people are in love and
not together

and

so many people are together
and not in love
☓☓☓

she didn't eat
because
she wanted
to be delicate,
like a flower

her soft
skin faded
and her
petals fell


                     until she
                     wilted away

i wonder what it's like

to wake up and love yourself

to look in the mirror and not want to cry

to weigh yourself, see the number, and not want to puke

to be with friends and not feel ugly

to go into public and not be insecure

to go shopping for clothes and not feel fat

i just wonder;

what it's like to love your life.

many choose to draw a distinction
between the natural world and the world
humanity creates for itself

but to separate ourselves from nature
is to deny responsibility for its wellbeing.

we do so at our own peril.

YOU SPEND SO
MUCH TIMES TELLING

you looked just like

an angel in

disguise
chris Feb 2016
you said i
was a
beautiful
red rose

but you
pricked me
with your
sharp thorns

and left me
here, without
help, or friend

you left me
bleeding,

you left me
here to                                                                                                      *die

whatever
       we are, i still

if my blades would cut my skin
as deep as your words do
maybe then
i could be dead by now

I dream of a ghost of my country
I dream of familiar skies
though our voices are silent
we still dream of home
and a thousand unspoken goodbyes

he wants to say, 'i love you'
but keeps it to 'goodnight'
because love will mean some falling
and she's afraid of heights

you and i

we were
two
lost pieces

chris Jan 2016

alone
feeling like
i was
nothing
chris Jan 2016
but we cannot
escape the past


                                                                                                      so you and i will
                                                                                                                         never

YOU USED TO BE THE ONLY THING

everyone leaves me

my father left me
when i was small
with my dying mother.

my mother left me
when i was in my
difficult time of
year: middle school.

my grandfather left me
because death took
him away from me.

my grandmother left me
because death wanted
more.

my friends left me
because they
found someone
better, smarter,
prettier than me.

he left me because
i wasn't good enough.

everyone leaves in the end,
        and i'm used to it.
