aurora borealis
R L Nov 2020
the range of colors,
in the sky,
i can see your soul,
you let it fly,
i want to be,
with you for now,
then later i can forget,
that you were ever around.
the green,
the blue,
my love for you,
the purple,
the yellow,
the air so mellow,
the wind it blows,
and i let you go,
aurora borealis,
it reminds me of you.

show and tell
R L Dec 2020
am i dead to you,
or just another story you could tell?
was i worth loving,
or was i just for show and tell?
was it all real,
or were you faking it all along?
was our love made of stone,
or just a thread to hold our bond?

rewrite
R L Dec 2020
bring me to your daydreams,
and the nightmares that you have,
i'll rewrite all the stories,
and replay the memories we had,
I’ll reminisce on the fun,
and collect them all in one,
then put them in your dreams,
so you’ll remember how we won.

jenga
R L Dec 2020
you take a piece of me,
and i fall,
cuz there's no support,
nothing to help me in a world so small.
I can't live without a piece of me,
can you build it up
and tower me please?
47 · Nov 2020
truly me
R L Nov 2020
you say that love is unconditional,
but if you truly knew me,
you'd turn away

6 feet under
R L Dec 2020
six feet under,
there lies the bodies of the dead,
the ones who sacrificed their lives,
and those killed themselves instead.
There lies the fate,
of the ones that were to die,
some couldn't help themselves,
and others just wanted to fly.

the ocean waves
R L Oct 2020
So relaxing
Yet so intimidating
It could take you away in a wash
Or you could watch it in amazement
Every wave
Consists of memories
sadness
happiness...
or suicide
🌊 honestly, waves are pretty cool and relaxing

our time
R L Nov 2020
Time is a loan
We live every second, with more debt
Our society has locked us in a dungeon
We’re told that we don’t have enough time for things
But why does it matter?
If we don’t even know when we die
Time is limited
We have all the time in the world
Because it’s our time
Not theirs
46 · Oct 2020
Lose
R L Oct 2020
Please stay alive
For me
Keep laughing
For me
I don’t want to lose you
Like I lost everything
Before I met you
I wrote this in one minute
46 · Nov 2020
fox
R L Nov 2020
fox
i'm walking in the open fields,
and i see it
the red fur, black-tipped ears,
the agonizing bushy white tail
it stops in sight,
giving me an alluring stare for a few seconds
then swiftly runs with it's black feet in the grass
45 · Dec 2020
days
R L Dec 2020
some days, i feel as if i'm not worth being loved,
as if today will be my worst day ever,
as if anything and everything could go wrong,
and other days, i feel as if i can rule the world,
and i remember the people that love me
and the people i love.
45 · Nov 2020
your words
R L Nov 2020
Your words are left on the ground
Nobody cares about them
So I pick them up
And make meaning out of them
45 · Dec 2020
Hercules
R L Dec 2020
Hercules,
don't save me now,
you looked out for me,
but were never around,
Hercules,
go save their lives,
i don't need saving,
i'm done with mine
45 · Dec 2020
lights out
R L Dec 2020
the lights out,
nowhere to go,
we all hide,
in shadows below,
a thousand screams
hidden by the dark,
we have nothing to lose
just the core of our hearts
45 · Nov 2020
falling
R L Nov 2020
i'm falling.
there's nothing to hold on to,
not your love, not mine,
not our hate, even combined,
it's not enough,
to keep me alive,
please don't let me go,
i want to survive
45 · Nov 2020
is it
R L Nov 2020
Is it really torture
If they deserved it?
45 · Dec 2020
superior
R L Dec 2020
a godly figure,
you're oh-so-strong,
to others you're the biggest,
but i hated you all along,
you thought you meant something to me,
you were just a game i played,
so go to your peasants,
and make them think you saved the day.

healing
R L Dec 2020
i paint my canvas everyday,
i enlarge the painting,
so i can display,
the colors of me,
and the colors of my feelings,
i'll give myself
a moment for healing.
44 · Dec 2020
the devil
R L Dec 2020
my magical lies,
and the fascinating cries,
i love seeing the pain,
in the bad people's eyes,
yes i'll hurt them bad,
and i'll hurt them real good,
i'll **** the ones who deserve it,
and the ones who know they should.

rhythm
R L Dec 2020
i love rhythm,
whether it's music,
poetry,
or simple spoken words.
43 · Nov 2020
river
R L Nov 2020
it looked like a normal river,
the water so clear,
no dirt near,
and the scent so fresh and clean.
Until we touched the water,
our hands started to bleed,
and the river
was made
of glass.

R L Nov 2020
i'm good at surviving, but not living

mystery ocean
R L Dec 2020
plain aqua,
yet so full of life,
once the sun sets,
the ocean comes to life,
the chaos and beauty,
that the sea holds,
the ocean is a mystery,
with a story untold.
43 · Sep 1
Sunburnt
R L Sep 1
I bask under rays of sunlight
that burn my skin
searing,
scalding,
until I'm simply a vessel of rays
no longer filled with the misery
that once repressed me.
43 · Dec 2020
dove
R L Dec 2020
pearly white,
beauty flight,
contrast to night,
the bird of peace,
and love and all,
the dove it flies,
wings rise and fall.
43 · Nov 2020
paths change
R L Nov 2020
i was walking the path my whole life,
too afraid for changes,
until i decided to steer to the right,
where i was happier than ever,
and i wasn't following a specific path,
except mine
change is more important than you think it is

writings on the wall
R L Nov 2020
the writings on the wall,
to whom do i call?
i scribbled and wrote,
asleep then i awoke,
and i couldn't stop writing on the wall
42 · Dec 2020
please you
R L Dec 2020
i don't have to please you to keep myself happy.
42 · Dec 2020
time
R L Dec 2020
the moon is back,
and the clock resets,
the sun comes up,
and back down again,
time rewinds,
but we make use of it differently,
i'm still in yesterday,
and i'm living tomorrow happily.
41 · Nov 2020
i love when im hurt
R L Nov 2020
i may be fragile,
i may be lost,
but i love when i'm hurt,
no matter what it costs.
the pain is numbing,
and i feel no more,
so i let it stay,
just a minute more.

road trip
R L Nov 2020
our love was like a road trip,
we were right beside each other
for so long
until we switched lanes
and drifted away from each other
41 · Nov 2020
stars ⭐️
R L Nov 2020
Once I die,
I want you to cut me in the shape of the stars
So we can watch me shine in the sky
Better than the sun ever could
41 · Dec 2020
field
R L Dec 2020
I stand in the field,
Devoid of worries,
Just me and my soul,
Forgetting life.
41 · Nov 2020
happiness
R L Nov 2020
If my happiness was taken away from me,
then i deserved it
Because everything I did to earn it
was wrong
41 · Nov 2020
dark place
R L Nov 2020
sometimes our mind is the darkest place,
but so is the midnight sky.
41 · Nov 2020
mad
R L Nov 2020
mad
the anger
it grew inside me like a forest fire
it took over
until i had no control
41 · Nov 2020
what is beauty?
R L Nov 2020
what is beauty?
is it my eyes, my lips, my face?
what is beauty?
is it what others make of it?
what is beauty?
is it who i truly am as a person?
but what is it
if it isn't that?

maybe beauty is just what we make of it.
41 · Oct 2020
you left me
R L Oct 2020
It’s not that hard to love me for who I am
You could’ve told me before you decided to forget me
To leave me behind
As if I didn’t belong with you
      As if I wasn’t worth loving
            You betrayed me
      Left me crying
              You tore me up
Then acted as if I was fine
I should’ve known
                It was an act
    All of it
Now I’m back
             Where I was
                           Square 1
And I’ll have to keep searching
To let you know
                 That I’ve won
41 · Nov 2020
outer space
R L Nov 2020
i'm in space,
but it's nothing like the movies.
it's empty,
like a black sheet of paper,
with white dots.
the view of earth,
makes me feel small.
the moon is gorgeous,
and the sun is not so near,
and i feel freedom, and solitude, with nobody here.
40 · Oct 2020
i’m invisible
R L Oct 2020
I talk to them
my words go through one ear
and out the other
I ask for help
But nobody’s near
They don’t bother
To ask me how I’m doing
And it’s clear
That nobody wants
To help me
I fear
That I’ll be forgotten
By my loved ones
The ones I hold close to my heart
the ones that are dear
I feel invisible sometimes, like people don’t care about me. It’s hard to deal with
40 · Dec 2020
notebook
R L Dec 2020
the papers torn out,
secrets i can't reveal,
there's so much i can write,
and i write what i feel.
People,
Love,
Anger,
And fear.
What these papers hold are dear,
Close to me,
And more than just words,
The things I write is my world between lines.
40 · Oct 2020
Growing up
R L Oct 2020
I remember when my heart gleamed with innocence
when everything was a joke,
And we thought this was what life consisted of
Though we wished to grow up,
to start living,
But it feels like it wasn’t worth
Growing up

murder scene
R L Nov 2020
I remember the devilish scent
of the blood on the grass
and the moonlight
shining through the window
The remarkably glowing body
and the knife stuck in his throat
39 · Dec 2020
hide my heart
R L Dec 2020
i didn't get to hide my heart,
before everyone saw it and took advantage of it
39 · Dec 2020
sunset view
R L Dec 2020
over the horizon,
the apricot colored semi-circle,
setting in,
the waves pulling me in,
into a daydream of the rosy pink line,
killing the sunset.
39 · Dec 2020
power
R L Dec 2020
we all want power,
but we don't realize that power comes
from our words
39 · Dec 2020
ghost
R L Dec 2020
i can hear your words,
but no longer decipher them,
i can see you alive,
but to me you're dead,
i can feel your presence,
but no longer here,
you're like a ghost to me now,
you once meant something to me
but now I just see right through your lies
39 · Nov 2020
talk to me
R L Nov 2020
why didn't you talk to me?
you didn't tell me why,
you never said goodbye,
why didn't you just talk to me?
39 · Dec 2020
demons
R L Dec 2020
i patiently wait for my demons
to take me to their home,
because i feel that i belong there,
and i know i'm not alone.
38 · Nov 2020
sleep
R L Nov 2020
sleep is a distraction and an alternative
for death,
it's simply an escape from life,
my problems,
so i don't have to deal with them for a while
