Are you blind?
Can you not see?
That I am being hurt by thee

Are you deaf?
Can you not hear?
The screams that yell "my dear"

Are you mute?
Can you not speak?
Because all I see are walls of brick

Are you numb?
Can you not feel?                          
My love for you is real*

                                                          ­                              To you I long to show
                                                            ­         Your words that bleed and blow
                                                            ­                   I long to make you listen    
                                                      ­          To keep me in your arms of heaven
                                                          ­                             To you I wish to speak
                                                           ­         Of words of mine, not to be bleak
                                                           ­                           I long to make you feel
                                                            ­                            Love with all its thrill
                                                          ­                         Maybe then we'd be free
                                                            ­                   From our hearts' animosity

In the end I know
This relationship cannot be mended by words alone
Tongues turn into deadly daggers
Piercing our skin        
Leaving wounds yet to heal
no words would appeal      
Words would not suffice                
A relationship as cold as ice
Never have I thought it would come to this
I would plead, plead that please
Let's just stop it
All of this is just for naught
But let us never forget the lesson it taught

" Words are like swords. If you use them the wrong way, they’ll turn into ugly weapons. There are cases of broken friendship that could have lasted a lifetime if not for verbal abuse. Once you sever your ties, you might not see each other again."
The quote above is from Detective Conan. It is also my banner in my page.

Haiku #3
Eris Apr 2015
Sad faces seem more
More real than happy faces
Don't you think so too?
Mind telling me what you think?

How I wish I could rewind time
I would give every dime,

Go back to the days of bliss
Sealed with true love's kiss

But it wasn't true
Just affection out of the blue

Like a storm it comes and goes
And leaves with great tremendous loss

You are the storm      
From my tears you took its form

I am the ground
And in your gentle touch of rain I was found

Don't Do This To Me
Eris Mar 2015
I hate this, I hate what you do to me.
I hate it when my tears fall off
I hate it when my hands start to tremble
I hate it when my head hurts
I hate it when I feel an ache inside of me
I hate it when I feel uneasy
I hate it when I feel that I can't speak
I hate it when it gets harder to breathe
I hate it. All of it.
But most of all I hate the fact that I let you do this to me.

Better than life
Eris Mar 2015
Thou art thy prettier than the sunset
Your face glows with its power
To be ignored by you cuts me deep
Oh! If only you were mine to keep
Thou art thy prettier than any flower
This I say until my dying breath

Thou art thy prettier than life itself.

To the girl he'll love more,
Eris Mar 2015
He'll love you more than he loved me because with you, you're perfect. Being your everything it's the greatest thing he can give to you.
                                    
I just want to say a few things, I want to tell you how lucky you are because you and him? You may as well be a perfect match and with that I want you to appreciate him. Appreciate his presence because girl, that's what I'm longing for. Show him how much you care and how much you admire him despite his imperfections (I tell you though you'll find beauty in them too)

I could never compare to you. The way he looks at you, it's much more meaningful. You are the sun, moon, stars that give him warmth when it's cold. When he thinks of you he just can't help but smile because you are his sunshine, something to look forward to everyday. You will be gravity that holds things perfectly in place, you will be his queen. All the things I never was and never could be will be you.
You will be his Juliet,
his Cossette,
his Elizabeth Bennett.        
And I
Will be no one.

Take care of him, love him with a love greater than mine. If you can.

Sincerely,
The girl he loved before
My mind is just sooooooo messy. My thoughts are killing me. They're drowning me, torturing me, cutting my heart and skin exposing my faults, downfalls and my shortcomings when it comes to loving him.

I'd let you know my greatest weakness
I'd let you in my deepest darkest secrets
If so, would you let me fix your broken pieces?
Would you mind the warmth of my kisses?

I' d lay down my armor
I'd let you see the tears I shed for
Would you even care?
Even though I treated you no fair?

I'd let myself lie in your embrace
I'd let you set my heart ablaze
Would you let this time pass by?
Would you mind giving it one more try?

What Are Friends For
Eris Jan 2015
Through good times and bad times,
I'll be by your side forevermore.
That is what friends are for
Sorry I haven't been able to post poems, been so busy with school.

Fight
Eris Jan 2015
You are meant to fight
Your body fights for its right
Its right to function
So don't try to stop its synchronization
If your miniscule parts haven't given up yet, then why should you?

By Your Side
Eris Jan 2015
Smile do not frown
Smile because I am here
Always by your side
Even if it gets cold in the night
I'll hold you close
Because we both know
It's in my arms where you belong
And maybe now
It gets hard
But it'll be alright
From beginning
To end I'll try
To ease the pain
That's throbbing inside

365 days
Eris Jan 2015
365 days of laughter
365 days of sorrow
365 days of friendship
365 days of love
365 days of you
2014 was all about you

How you made me who I am today
And I thank the stars tonight
Because there's nothing else I can say
You make me shine bright
Bright as the sun at midday

How you made me your angel
Guarding you every step of the way
Kept the secrets you'd never tell
Kept your cool during hot summers in may
And who caught you whenever you faltered and fell


How you made me a flower
In our own little flower bed
With you as my gardener
I have no fear or dread
I only hope the grass is always greener
So that this love may not go dead
1/365 days of poetry and psychosis

Keep Smiling
Eris Dec 2014
A teardrop kisses my cheek
As i write my pain in this sheet
Pain no one can see or hear
Inside my heart in cannot disappear

I try
I try to smile
Let the world know
I'm not hurting inside

So i smile
Letting them know
I'll be alright

Lone Wolf
Eris Dec 2014
I’ve hunted in packs with numbers odd
They paired themselves while I just nod

My track is a trail without traces behind
My target ‘s a prey deemed unworthy to find

It’s all the same across the multitude
I can’t escape this solitude

If I could choose, should I rewind?
Or wait for our fate to intertwine

I hunt in a pack with numbers odd
No one could pair, none would add

Until you came and say in kind
I’ll stay with you if you don’t mind
This one was made by someone very dear to me. He wrote it for me.

Wabi Sabi
Eris Dec 2014
Here I am loving you
Loving every imperfect aspect of you
Your eyes may not be the brightest
Your smile may not be the sweetest
Your hair may not be the darkest
But that is what makes them perfect
I found love within the depths of your imperfections
And one by one I have seen the beauty in them                            
That's how I love you                    
To love you at your most broken state
To appreciate you when no one else does      
And to desire you despite all the brokenness and cracked parts
Wabi sabi is the japanese term for appreciating the old and the broken, a term for finding beauty in the most imperfect things

Playback
Eris Dec 2014
In my sleep
I dream of what can never be
This fantasy I hold so dearly
Has caused me too much misery
But wishing,
Will never bring you back
So I'm stuck in these faded memories

Endless make belief
Eris Dec 2014
You confound me in awed silence everytime; the spark of your name on my lips, the lovely smile, the exquisite glow of your brown eyes, your presence gives me a feeling of pure happiness. You have left me in an endless daydream, the fancies of you and me. I'm f

I hate you.
Eris Dec 2014
I don't know what to do.
I freakin' hate you but
At the same time
I love you too much
Too much that
I can't let go
Even when pain
Demands that I should
I couldn't
And I don't think I ever could
Sometimes we love someone too much that we hate them. Or is it the other way around?

When-I love you
Eris Dec 2014
When your words sting through my heart and leave me broken
- I love you

When the distance between us feels like miles even though we're near
- I love you

When I think of how many fights we've been through
- I love you

When you can't control your anger and burst it all out
- I love you

When the volume of your voice increases and reprimands me
- I love you

When you speak of words of love  and gentleness is in your voice
- I love you  

When you make me feel the luckiest girl in the world
- I love you

When you give me hope and encouragement
- I love you

When I'm wrong and you set me right
- I love you                

When you love me
- I love you

Frustrated Artist
Eris Dec 2014
It's Drawing class
And I sit here  
Not willing to draw
Geometrical shapes
Or figures
But I want to draw
How the butterflies
In my stomach
Flutter when I
Am with you
How my eyes
Twinkle when they
Gaze into yours
The birds who appear
Whenever the sight
Of you approaches        
The list may
Go on and on but
Out of all of these
This would be the easiest
And the hardest:
A life without you
I was in class when I did so yeah.

Dearest Friend
Eris Jul 2013
You always said you will never leave my side
you would always whisper “I am here” whenever I cried
you held my hand in the darkest of times
you taught me how to read between the lines
but now a sudden change crept upon the friendship I once knew
in the blink of an eye, everything became blue
and everything we had have now gone
I guess I have no choice but to move on
Up until now I cry and weep
for all those promises you didn’t keep
who knew it would come to this
all our memories thrown into an unfathomable abyss

Carefully
Eris Jul 2013
I look at you, but ever so careful
for I can not risk you seeing me
your eyes so bright
your lips so velvet looking
as you speak I watch each word with a different expression
you turn to look around and I am forced to look away
but as I turn away I am forced to smile
for I got a few second to look  at you

The Pianist
Eris Jun 2013
A beautiful day
People buzzing as they say
"The bride! She's here"
I take a sit down and catch my breath
This may just be my most memorable day yet
but still , I'm sad
because I'm not the one who gets to hold your hand
As I start to sing and play
"It's her hair and her eyes today, that just simply take ma away..."
It's her favorite song
I'm the pianist on her wedding day
Tragic you may think
but she came up to me so suddenly
and said "run away with me"
next thing I knew
You are now here with me
and I am with you

I may not be like the others, I may be different
but I wanna hold your hand and walk with me
to a far off land, running endlessly
as time flies, I have a thought in mind
If I’ll continue this feeling, will you still look in my eyes?
If I tell you what I feel
will you ever be the same? will you still be by my side?

— The End —
