Is two loves possible?

As if I Had a Say
Robin Sep 2014
I feel like exploding
I dream and see the waves
crashing against my skin

Frozen with Love.
Robin Jan 2014
Everyone tells me
home is where the heart is.

but my heart is spilt
in many ways.

a piece of my heart,
lives in the waves in hawaii
nestled in the black sand
under a giant, old palm tree
and personally
that is not home

a piece of my heart,
lives in Shelter cove
Among the forestry hills
at enormous red wood trees
I wish that could be my home.
but it sure isn't.

A piece of my heart lives
in the people I have met
It lives within the laughter and tears
with every 'I love you'
and every 'I don't know what to do'
And it will live there for all eternity

A piece of my heart,
lives within the cracks of my family
Each life and each love
its the oldest of pieces
and will be there the longest.

A piece of my heart lives in the mountains
full of snow
full of possibilities
the only place I feel at home anymore
is on the mountain
forever in the snow
forever frozen with love.

I haven't been drawing lately.

but I have been
swimming through a lake
of forgetfulness
and loosing sight of who I was
I forgot
just for a second
that second bleeding into the next
dancing on the edge of change
who am I now?
the same as always?
or a drunken, high, working mess of an adult
but it works being slightly homeless
and falling into something
I wasn't expecting.
Change is different.
and growing up *****
why did I only see this now?

I haven't been drawing
and I need to keep these chubby hands busy
while I am figuring out what we call life.

I haven't been drawing
so I grab a pen
and remember who I was.

I wish I could write a poem
that explains everything
and anything
but it wouldnt make any sense

plus
it would take all the fun out of it,

so ill keep you guessing
and ill keep myself wondering
and ill continue to struggle
to write the words
and live the stories
with that small second guessing
in the back of my mind.

bitter taste
Robin Dec 2013
I stole alcohol today.
Like always.
But this time was different.
Each sip tasted of
Stress, Responsibilities, Lust
Hate, fear and sadness

And yet I kept drinking.
And I wonder why
But I guess that's how It works

That Taste never left my mouth
Even a after the bottle was gone
And everyone went home
And **** was the only cure
And that's when I thought that
Drinking my problems away
Never in my life Tasted so bitter.

you know,
i would cross oceans for you
fight monsters,
and touch the moon
just for you
But,
There are no oceans to cross
and no monsters to fight
nor do I have the ability to fly so high.

But,
I would sallow poison
and be burned for you
and give my all, my everything.

I would sing for you, and only you
if there was a song for me to sing.

I would do anything for you.
And give you my heart.

If there was a you.

Covered Eyes

One small night
Has proven
The clevernessof life
And lost ideas
And hidden truths
In plain sight

And the present so dark
How am I suppose to continue
Blindly, I suppose.
This was from a while ago.

Gracefully Pained Image
Robin Sep 2013
When I close my eyes
I see red roses
an droplets in water
so close I could almost touch them
yet just out of reach
no matter how far I go
the roses will always evade my hands
and the pools forever invisible to the touch
the elegance and beauty of the two pulls me in
but in the far lands of my mind
I know that the roses,
are razor-sharp to the fingertips
and the flowing stream,
poisonous to the skin
but I attempt with all my will
to embrace the vibrant roses
and wishing current
with my curious
and simple hands.

When my eyes are open
all I see
is yet to be described.
Such a gracefully pained image,
I'd imagine,
That is to be told.

Instant
Robin Sep 2013
Have you ever fallen in love for an instant?
For just a moment,
all you want is that person.
For an instant,
everything is frozen.
Then all in the same moment
it all changes back
and life hits you hard
and that person never crosses your mind again
but in the back of your mind
you will always remember that love you had
just for that short second.

Corrupt American Love Story
Robin Sep 2013
If I loved you. You know what would happen
life would be different.
we could have read poetry and only cared about what we wrote
Talked about our friends behind their backs
not keep our words
and pretend to not know what is right
avoided helping a homeless man eat
and speed in school zones
the world would have been better if we were together
we could have been better than other couples
and flaunted our love in front of all the lonely souls
did drugs together
became to attached to our things
maybe even start a family
and raise those children on our beliefs and nothing less
to have an open mind, yet condem the poor and weak
those children would grow up hating us and we will love it
One will actually do something with her life
and the other will die trying
to get away from this life we have come to love
and we will grow old
with our money
and big house to ourselves
we could have been corrupt in our actions and thoughts
but we could have been in love and that is all that matters.
Not our friends
our families
our children
anything,
except our money and our beliefs.
and that would be our lives together
and oh, what a life it would be.
The life of a courpt american love story
the story we all follow
with or without permission
slowly we lean
until we die.

a little selfish.
Robin Sep 2013
If I knew life went So fast
I would have been more cautious
I would have always used a blinker
Always checked my mirrors
Forced everyone to wear seatbelts
I wouldn't have speed that fast
I would have walked a little more
And admired the giant oak trees
And blue cloud dotted skys

I would have looked into your eyes a little longer
I would have sang,
Danced, laughed
And loved a little more

But then again,
I wouldn't have changed anything
For the world
And Thank you for that.
Robin Aug 2013
I live in the dark
My life a soft haze
With my thoughts avoiding the truth
That these comforts
The things I hold So close
Are So temporary
And So easily taken away
So fragile
And with that realization
The grip I found myself
So tightly grasping
Slipping away
Well,
More like my finger tips
Being peeled back
As my voice cracks
Not wanting to let go.

I think it's because I feel strange
Or lost
And the feeling of unknown
Terrifies me
And knowing I must face it alone
Slightly kills me
And yet I know
it will be an awfully grand adventure.

untold stories
that died in the light of others
and unwrapped presents
missed their chances and
waiting for next year

surrounded by small talk
and friends without meaning
the time that was waisted
can never be taken back

no one to lay in the road with
and no one to stay up late with

I sit on my roof alone
smoking
with a heavy heart
listening to nothing
and the slight breeze stings slightly

live in the sun, and love in the moon

terrible terrible, how nice this summer has been
for the pouring of hearts have been stopped.

for being so surrounded
we are so alone.

So many people
floating eyes
and changing emotions
smoke swirling in the air
casting a shadow
over the waterfalls
hiding in plain sight
with lingering smog
mixed ideas
and confused looks
lead to silent nights
streams of embers
where nothing matters much
and things fade slowly
beneath the broken sign to the left
where people disappear
and souls wander.

All I have left is ideas
and scars of the past
and a waiting for whatever it is
a longing soul wishes for

Oh, What a life I lead.

When you don't sleep
Thing start changing
Everything mushes into one
Everyone melts togther

Not even the finishing of this
Stupid ******* thing

Cockroaches live in my room
Hissing at night
Hiding in the corners and cracks
Always there
But during the day
Still hiding
But forgotten
~

I only have so long before I come home
And those cockroaches are showing themselves more and more,
They are not so forgotten during the day.
Hidding in the the corners and cracks
Quietly hissing
In my ear.
Clouding my thoughts

I try to find them
But they were born to hide
And I am the seeker
And yet I can't seem to find
Those hissing,
Hiding,
Cockroaches.

To Whom It May Concern:
Robin Jul 2013
A longing soul is not one to choose

Being in a state of lonelyness,
Where there is a constant reminder of how hurtful the world and other people can be,
I forget to be cautious when it come to love
I forget that Its something so fragile.

I loved you in a way friends should
I enjoyed our time together
And while ws were together
You were the only one
But I had feelings for another
And the thought of being with anyone before leaving
Was terrifying
So I hid those feelings from myself
And from you too.

But something happened before my journey
That I didn't expect
And what happened is my secret to tell
And my truth
And if you ask nicely
I can tell you the whole truth.
Not a hand me down wonder or thought
But the full truth.

Yes or No
Robin Jun 2013
In life there are two choices.
A or B
Right or Left
Yes or No
and even when choices are so simple
and answers so small
and meaningless,
the reasons
and thoughts
are so complex,
and so intricate,
and so hard to understand
that even a word like, Yes or no,
can mean more than the world itself.

Million Years.
Robin Jun 2013
When we grow older will we forget each other?

A question that has buzzed around in my head
beating on my insides
but I am a Capricorn
so I turn around
and avoid that door of thoughts.
and yet those thoughts linger
every time I see you dancing to your own rhythm
and singing your own songs
being who you want to be
and not taking **** from anyone
Those thoughts I hide away
creep out and sink its teeth into
my mind.
~
I never told you how much
I envy you.
your passion is beyond anything I was capable of
and even though it was enough for only one
you still shared with me
and even though you think you are more dependent on me
than I, on you
I would not be the same without you
I would not be who I am today
without you
and even though we can talk about anything and everything
I still cannot show you or tell you the honor I feel
and the love I have that we created
a thing that we call
being best friends.
~
I remember the beginning
starting with an acquaintanceship
in the 6th grade
two stupid kids trying to live a life of homework
and social anxieties
we had this energy together
a connection
that even now I can't explain
and from that acquaintanceship
bloomed a beautiful rose
of a friendship
and from there with the help of six years
a few tears and bruises,
laughs, swears and punches,
compliments and insults,
sleepovers, pillow fights
sneaking out and stories,
and way to many insides jokes,
movie-a-thons, magic tricks,
boys and girls and family,
ripped clothes and naked kids,
bare feet, sun dresses,
cell phones and tree branches,
over exaggerations and airplanes,
travels and sitting on the couch,
stupid questions and stupid answers,
life long lessons and underwear,
Those countless kids, those countless creeps,
drinking, smoking and being sober
and some much more
our friendship became something I never thought I could have
a best friend.
not a normal friend but
a sister I never had.
a person I could always count on.
unlike the countless others in my life.
a person I could/will trust forever.
unlike anyone I know.
someone I can tell my life too
without a second though.
someone I can sing with
knowing I am safe.
someone I can dance with
without feeling weird.
and someone I can do anything and everything with.
and then some.
and with that
I am extremely happy,
extremely lucky and
completely satisfied
that I spent six years of my life with the name of
your best friend.
I love you
and I aways will.


And no.
I would never, ever forget you.
Not in a million years.

I want to think about someone

and sing love songs
and slowly dance
cheek to cheek.

I wanna fall again.
I want to learn everything about someone
I want to be hurt when I take things wrong
I want the thrills and stress
with laughs and sadness
and sweet talks
and compliments.

I want to lust again.
I want to miss someone
I want regular ***
with regular kisses
and hand holding
and sweaty cuddling.

I want to say I love you again
and make stupid gifts
and spend money on nothing
and run around just being together
I want to love to spend time with someone
and I want someone to love me back.
I want to be loved again.

White Sheet
Robin May 2013
A white sheet lay before me
I trace the creases where it was once folded
and finger the edges of it
I feel the soft fabric and
I fold it up nicely and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A white sheet lay before me
A small tear has happend
I feel the hole with my finger
and gently rip it
the stings attached fray in different directions and
I fold it up and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A white sheet lay before me
The sheet is covered in rips and holes now
I run my hands over the large rips where the folds would be
the strings get caught on my hand and
I wrap it up and put it away
waiting to take it out again

A once white sheet lay before me
The rips and holes match the large stains
the once white sheet is now nothing but stained strings
and lost hopes
I rip it up and throw it away

of a dance that is done
one song at a time
with short.
quick.
stops.
and.
an.
abrupt.
end.

and let me tell you of a poem,
with lines that flow like streams full of thoughts, through the poets mind, eyes, lips and mouth.

and let me show you picture
of
     the
           way
                   words
             can
    create
life
      out
             of
nothing.

Let me whisper a thought to you
that can travel
on a simple note.
a single thought.
and yet the most important, you see.

And If you were to draw a picture, would it be bright and cheerful?
Or if you were to write a song, would it be slow and tender?
Or a poem, rhythmic or timed?
Or a whisper,
a soft quiet word
with no intentions or thoughts of its own.
But, you see, A whisper can linger in the air, my friend
and a whisper is not ever left
unsaid.

So let me tell you a secret
you will not likely forget.
about a dance, a song, a poem, a rhyme,
And a promise that was not kept.

and laughing harder than ever before
to drinking

to ***
and hugs
and swims in the pool

here's to being close without knowing each other
to being able to dance
without judgement
to singing in the car
and wasting gas
to not eating
because of the lack of money

here's to the people we hold so dear
and the people who we hate
to the people who have hurt us
to the hard
and the bad
and even the terrible
and to still moving on

here's to the fact that everything changes
and the amount of time we have
to the regret
and unforgettable
to the parties
and the kickbacks
to the ash smeared carpets
and puke covered couches
to the last ones awake
and early crashers
to the times we have all had together
and the times that will never be forgotten

And here.
here's to the future.

On the shelf
Robin Apr 2013
On the last house to the left
there is wall
a wall with a small shelf
and on that shelf
was an assortment of items
a small golden horse,
a single tulip in a blue vase,
a glass deer figurine,
a small box with a small lock,
and a slip of paper.
and on that slip of paper
were a few lines
and in those lines
were words

those words were just letters
those letters just lines
drawn on a paper
with ink
but those words have meaning
in each turn and corner of each letter
in each word
in each line
there was a memory
a thought
a wonder
a truth
that could change
and inspire
help and create

but just like that
it could change
in a choice in that word
but no matter what
that choice of word would be
it still is just a thing
a line and a curve
with a small memory or meaning
just like
the horse
the deer
the tulip
and the box
with a small lock

But the meaning of this line
is none other than the truth
and the truth
that mustn't be told
on this slip
on this shelf
on a wall
in the house
on the left
at the end
of the road
Ment to be read aloud.

-off the rock She fell. The hesitancy she had felt caused her to slip and fall. He best friends face blankly watched her fall. She couldn't remember anything about-

-the last time she looked at the house it looked sad. The trees begging for her to stay and the windows screaming don't go. She knew she couldn't stop now she was off to her new life the new life that didn't consist of-

-rain fell hard outside when she figured it out. She was on a blog scrolling through and found a URL that she had seen before. Once she clicked on it she her heart dropped. It was about her. It was a hate blog about her. What did she do to deserve-

-turning to me, 'I am enrolled in the army' he said. I didn't mind because of what happened. The chain of events leading up to this day were to terrible for a child of my age to go through. I had told anyone about this I hadn't thought about it since then. But the thought that it would linger longer than it has haunts her-

-thoughts consist of why am I talking to him again. He ruined my life and ruined my friends life. But I couldn't keep away even while with someone else she still turned to him to attention. I couldn't stand the thought of leaving him completely but-

-I have fallen for someone I shouldn't have. I look at him and I feel happy. I look at him and I feel at home. I wish I didn't. I wish I had someone-

I asked for a sign.
I guess this was my fault,
I asked the universe if we should be together and it sent demons after us.
I had a realization today.
I will never not love you.
You were my first love and my only first love.
******* for that.
And I realized that whatever made us start talking was
that we were ment to be together or something of the sort later on in life.
When we can't hurt each other the way we can today.
And when we are more mature,
physically, mentally and spiritually.

Or maybe I am crazy.
And You are crazier.

Yeah.

Its been a while now. Where are you? Are you not getting my messages? I still am waiting on your call and your present. I love you and miss you! Hope to see you soon!

Hi Daddy.
Where are you? Hello? I wish I could talk to you. I love you and miss you. Hope and see you soon.

Hi Dad.
Its my birthday again. I still am waiting from last year... I still love you and miss you. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Dad.
Well. I hope you are having fun. I still love you and miss you. I hope and hear from you soon.

Dad.
I hope you are happy. Still haven't heard from you.

Dad.
I hate you. Don't call. I hate you.

Dad.
Did I do something wrong?



Stranger.
I am graduating tomorrow. I just thought I would tell you even though you don't answer my messages. I don't think I will see you there but I thought I would just try anyways.

Stranger.
I hope you are happy with your new life, because you will never be a part of mine. Goodbye forever 'dad'.
Thanks for leaving.

Rips and Tears
Robin Nov 2012
Words.
They shouldn't hurt.
But we all know they do.
Under every word there is a thought.
A meaning.
Even accidental words.
Have a thought.
That could stab.
And tear.
And rip.

You don't mean to hurt.
You don't know
what you are doing.
You shouldn't hurt.
But,
its a hard truth.
you do.
Every day.
Every word.
That stabs.
And tears.
And rips.

This
is
a
new
feeling.

I
have

for
words.

Who are you to do this to me?
