While you’ve been smiling
I’ve been dying.

While you’ve been laughing
I’ve been crying.

While you’ve been kissing her
I’ve remained alone.

While you’ve been talking with her
I’ve been drowning in silence.

While you’ve been dreaming
I’ve been thinking of you.

While you’ve been happy
I’ve been writing stupid poems
And wishing death upon myself
Because I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Like 3 of my poems were too long and I feel like not many peeps read them bc of that, so I decided to break them up as best as I could into chunked single poems.

Is where I wake up in the evening
Is where I sleep in the morning
Is where I meet faceless hearts, souls, minds and special beings
Beings from different backgrounds, peasants and queens
Sharing their worsts and their bests as well as their dreams
Escaping the world that was not what it seemed.
Words spinning round
The galaxy in
My head
The Big Dipper
Ready to scoop up
Errors in the
Making
Planets join in company
The moon lighting
Its way
And stars
Are dancing
How much does
The Milky Weigh
Is there a
Black Hole
To hide these
All in
Star light
Star bright

i've dreamt enough romance
to know that I want it
and I've lived enough days
to know I can't feel it
short thing before I sleep

Sometimes I'll write a poem here
and think it's my best ever
but then the very next day, oh dear
it's in the trash forever
I couldn't tell you what I've learned in Maths,
Not the logs, not the line, not the stats.

I couldn't understand the numbers, that's true,
But in that class I fell in love times two.

A class so unbearable, difficult and absurd,
But I looked forward to it like the biggest nerd.

Electricity in the air, the wink of an eye,
Solving algebra and calculating Pi.

Nothing stayed in my brain, not a single fraction,
The only rule that I've learned is the rule of attraction.

Copy filled with theorems,
And heart full of poems.

I couldn't tell you what I've learned in Maths,
Not real life problems, not division not stats.

I've learned how to love a class that I hate,
Until our next meeting, I really can't wait.

Love

Love is a fuzzy feeling, it makes you happy
And it's all sappy
Love makes you feel whole
And closes the hole
The hole gets filled easily
So everyone goes on peacefully
There are many kinds of love
And all of them will keep you above
Above the crashing waves of loneliness and despair
Does anyone have any love to spare?
I gave all mine away
And couldn’t help but pray
Hoping someone will return my feelings
I thought they would, because they are human beings
But everyone rejected me
“Just count to three
You will be okay”
I couldn’t help but say
I held onto the last of my love
I shove
It goes deeper and deeper
I repeat in my head that this is a keeper
I prepare to keep it with me forever
I thought I was being clever
That way I would never get hurt again
And I became wary of men
Then I met her
And in a blur
It started to rise
I tried to tell myself lies
So I wouldn't be able to feel
But I ended up falling head over heal
I realized that I really did love her
So I gave up my control and let my feelings stir
I became her friend
And my heart started to mend
I kept my distance for I knew she didn’t feel the same
But then I thought she liked me too, what a shame
Turns out she likes someone else
My heart melts
I saw all the signs
But turns out they were different kinds
Now I feel stupid
I would never get the attention of cupid
She deserves better
I would never be able to get her
All I can do now
And I vow
I will keep her happy
Even if I feel ******
I will help her succeed
And stay freed
So she can find someone who is enough
And makes her feel loved
