The latest poems on Hello Poetry

Louise 5d

Jazz bar with soft yellow lights
Craft cocktails on our hands
Flirting with each other
Late Saturday night
All night long
Me and him

not his cure

he told me i took away his anxiety.
he told me i fixed him,
made him happy.

then he said losing me
did it better.
like i was the problem
all along.

does he know how cruel that sounds?
how deep it cuts?

i am not his cure.
i am not his sickness.
i am not the reason he broke
or the reason he healed.

i was just a person.
and he made me feel like nothing.

finally

you’re not posting on hello poetry anymore.
you’re not reading my words,
not twisting them,
not waiting for me to say your name.

i don’t have to write around you now.
i don’t have to fear your eyes
dragging through every line.

it’s strange,
but freeing
to know my poems are mine again.

~•§•~ I Need the Right Mind to Express My Mind ~•§•~

I just want to make sure
I am completely sober
When I finally tell her
That it's actually over
It may seen like from an outsider
That I'm doing that for her
But I want to make sure
She is not another
Chip on my shoulder
'Cause there is no room up there
Due to life's boulder
