Pretty lies
Sean Hastings Jun 2021
Tell me pretty lies instead of the harsh truths
Tell me you love me even if you don't
That you'll be here forever even if it's two days
Tell me you miss me instead of forgetting me
Tell me everything will be ok when I know it won't be

I've hurt so many in the past
Broken hearts by the number
But one is finally happy
One is finally happy

So many have been hurt
One day they may heal
From the brokeness that I left them
They may all hate me

But hopefully they heal
Hopefully I heal eventually
As long as one is finally happy
Out of them all at the end of it

For one to be happy

I'm glad it's you

Angels and Devil
Sean Hastings Jun 2021
It's hard being surrounded by angels
When you are the devil
They are kind and caring and thoughtful
Full of life and constantly show the good in life

Then there's you, the devil
The fallen from Grace and continues to do so
No matter what kindness you put out
It's no surprise that you continue to fall

Despite being surrounded by angels
It's nothing new to fall when you are the

Devil

She's finally happy
Sean Hastings Jun 2021
Putting the hurt behind her
Getting away from being in bad places
She cut away those who hurt her and
Finally realized the heart that needed healing
Was hers

She's finally happy
And you are part of the happy
You help make her happy
I see it in the way she looks at you
The way you open the door for her
In the looks when you aren't paying attention

She's finally happy
She's been through so much pain getting here both from me and others
Finally having the stars align

You are apart of the happiness
But should it turn to pain
Like others before
Heaven or hell

I will put you through more pain than she ever experienced

I wish life was more like a book
I can read the thoughts and feelings
Of those close to me
It would make it easier to know who
Would be there for me if everything came
Crashing down

It's hard not knowing who would be there
Who would catch you as you are falling
Because everyone says they would be
But not everyone will be there

After so many people who said they would be here forever
And forever being a short time how can you know?

It's hard for me to tell, when everyone likes you but no one cares about you

Angels
Sean Hastings May 2021
Guardian angels come in all shapes and sizes
They can be someone you met once
But you changed their life
And they look after you from up high

But some come from close to your heart
Family members taken away, you cry too soon
The pain won't ever leave, and they know that
But protecting you sometimes doesn't come from being next to you
Sometimes it comes after they leave
Lifting you up when you are down and filling your heart when you are lowest

Guardian angels come in all shapes
But yours is the best one looking after you and nothing can hurt you with them looking over you

Usually I do not care if anyone reads my poems
I know a few do and even if they lie and do not it doesn't bother me
But sometimes I want some to respond
To say something and talk to me

Do I need to be more blunt?
Do I need to call them out?
The blonde bestie, sista sista, sweetheart, my secret fan?
Or do I say nothing like always and simply drift to the back of readers minds

Making it
Sean Hastings May 2021
I'm trying to make it on my own
Going out on my own
Showing myself and others I can do it
Baby steps for now but moving
I may not be making it greatly
But I'm not barely making it
I'm just making it on my own
Can you be proud still?

Hearts
Sean Hastings May 2021
They say a good man will bring out good
From his heart
But a evil man will only bring wickedness
Out of his heart
But the world isn't this black and white
It's gray and confusing
Am I bringing good out of my heart?
Or am I the evil that some think I am

Mother's day
Sean Hastings May 2021
Another year comes and goes
And this holiday comes every spring
Celebrating mother's and what they do
Mother's who do extrordinary things

I still celebrate every year each spring
But not celebrating you
Other mother's made me their own
And for them I cheer for they are
Extrordinary
And you are not and will never be

Hello
Sean Hastings May 2021
Hello hello
Friends, strangers, family
You can be one of these
Or all of them
But hello hello
To a greeting or nothing
I'll still say
Hello hello

Love can be like a gentle rain
Showing you the beauty that's around
It can also be a raging storm
Filled with destruction in it's path

Like nature love can change just as quick

I'm always scared I annoy people
Especially my friends
I always reach out and send messages
And snap pictures through the day

I'm scared to be alone in my thoughts
When the one person I talk all day is busy
I'm alone and scared to be
So I reach out

But I feel like I'm harassing and annoying
Pushing people away from me
When I'm trying to just not be alone
So I'm sorry to annoy

But hello from the alone

Do my friends know I love them?
Do my soulmates know how much they mean to me?
Do those I lost touch with know I miss them?
Time in endless but passes so fast
I try to show it but I can only do so much
So to my friends I still love you
My soulmates make me whole
And those that got left in the past,
I'm sorry

To The One
Sean Hastings Apr 2021
To the one who took me on field trips
To the one who picked me up from school
To the one who bought me video games when I broke my leg
To the one who called my nightmares
To the one who cared for me

To the one who tore my family apart
To the one who left my sister without a motherly figure
To the one who made me not trust anyone
To the one who made me question peoples motives
To the one who made me grow up while still a child

To the one who almost broke me

The old world is dying
The new world isn't formed
So monsters roam
And evil lurks
Don't be fooled
Don't be alarm
Monsters aren't under the bed
They look like me and you

I really want to show you my writings
Show you the pain the caused
All the scars you left behind
Blown up relationships
I wish you can read
And see what you done to me
But you don't care
So I'll write to an empty audience
In the mean time

Sight
Sean Hastings Apr 2021
What do you see in me?

Do you the sarcastic funny kid in class
Or the exhausted adult who barely sleeps
Do you see the romantic?
Or the heartbroken man who's not sure what love is anymore?
What do you see when you look into me?
I stare into the mirror
I'm not sure what I see anymore

Good ole days
Sean Hastings Apr 2021
Surrounded by brothers telling stories
Doors opening as more come in to join
A blonde goddess jumps in my arms
As the room starts spinning a tear comes
Out
Your babies grew up, the good ole days passed
Nothing will be the same everything is changing
If only you can go back to the good ole days before you realized they were gone for good

Heart
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
Every ex that took a piece of my heart
Slashed and cracked it leaving for broke
I thought that was it
But every soulmate gives a piece back
Fills the cracks with gold repairing all
The imperfections
You see my heart isn't the same it was a decade ago
And I wouldn't change it for the world
Mar 2021 · 81
Thunder
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
You may feel like life is kicking you
when you are down
Raining blows down on you
when you are weak
Stand your ground though
Sharpen your steel on each hit
Waiting

Then fall like a lightening strike on the world
And soon the world will here the thunder of your name echoing
The world will know who you are
Mar 2021 · 103
Forgive
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
Growing up it was always forgive
Those who hurt you, be the bigger man
Turn the other cheek and love them back
As my thoughts turn to what you did
Can I forgive you?
Should I forgive you for tearing apart my family?
Making me growing up at 12 years old thinking my dad might die
With you exiting my life to never return
Forgive you?
I can't forgive you and won't

Some will move heaven and earth
For those they love
But
I will go through hell and fight every demon
To give you a better life than mine

Breaks
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
Every fight is a crack
Every argument expands
How much can a heart take
Before it breaks?
Mar 2021 · 97
Sincerely
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
You hide in shadows
Always reading never speaking
Thinking I can't see you
But I see through the shadows
You can't hide from me
So just come out and face the light

Sincerely
King of broken hearts

Cold
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
Icy winds
Cold fronts
Frosty evenings
Even with all this cold
Still warmer than your heart

Dear ,
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
When you look back at now
When you look back into the past
Hopefully you smile at the memories
And laugh at the crazy times
But don't dwell there too long
If you do it may drag you down
Quicker than the rip currents
You will be lost with no future

From
Already lost

Kindest regards
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
To the ones who broke my heart
And left without a reason
To the ones I broke and almost broke myself
To the friends who drifted off
To the ones I miss the most
I wonder what I mean to you
To my haters, I don't give a **** about you

Kindest regards

People
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
People are hard to read
Playing a role in each other's lives
Different perspectives, different actions
You could know someone for years
And know nothing about them

Jury
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
I shouldn't of been surprised
with you still on campus,
you had the time and energy
To buy the jury against me
The guilty verdict coming to no surprise
No matter my side
Forever guilty and the devil

I wonder
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
I wonder how many say they are better off without me in their life
Saying I was the problem or the pain
Causing them to not succeed
I wonder but only for a minute
Because my soulmates need my attention more than the past
Mar 2021 · 463
Soulmates
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
A soulmate may not have your heart
May not of been in your life long

But their connection burns in your soul
For the rest of your life

First sight
Sean Hastings Mar 2021
I was sitting it the lounge waiting for class
Talking to my friends, half asleep
Barely focusing on anything
When my friend yelled hey and I looked around

He was walking towards us and I paused

He seemed to tower over everything
Exuding a confident but welcoming presence around him
Every step so sure in it's placement

He turned then I saw his eyes
As if the clay she walked on transported to his eyes
Until he stepped into the light
The clay disappeared leaving gold to rise to the surface

He smiled as he got closer
Showing a kindness and warmth to it
As if he was welcoming friends he haven't seen in years back home

He gave a couple hugs and greetings to my friends before turning towards me

Hey

I'm Sean

Wild
Sean Hastings Dec 2020
At one with the outdoors, one would think she's Artemis
Animals adore her more than I
Tied hair back boots laced up she sets off
Finding peace among the trees
Enjoying nature as nature enjoys her presence
She appears as calm as the trees around her
Though a hurricane sits underneath to protect those she loves
The wilderness is one with her and her with nature
Many will call her different names but I call her love

Or millions
Win awards for my writings
Or have them ripped apart
But no matter I will still write
For that one who may need it
Or want it

Healing
Sean Hastings Dec 2020
You are even here yet
But the effects are already here
The broken crown slowly coming to
A King of Broken Hearts no more
The love of a child fixing and mending
A heart so use to hurt but no more
The love you bring is revealing what could of been all along
No Queen no soulmate no one else to heal
Only the heart of Charlotte Rose was needed

Phoenix
Sean Hastings Dec 2020
Born after a tumultuous year
A year like no other
Filled with uncertainty, anguish
Pain and heartbreak like no other

But a light is shining, CRC
A year reborn with a flame
Of hope to keep us going
Bringing light out of darkness

Will next year be better?
Will anything change?
It starts with you
A Phoenix lighting flames across the nation

Who are you?
Sean Hastings Dec 2020
Who are you?
Who are you anymore?
Where are you?
Do you think of us?

After you left?
Exiting our lives when we were young
Clinging to good memories from the bad
Wondering about the future

You got remarried I know that
Do you have other kids now?
Are they your kids now?
Do we not exist in your mind anymore

I used to ask these questions and ponder
But now?

You don't exist and still won't
My accomplishments are mine and mine alone
I make my Father happy and not you
When I get married, have kids you won't be included

You don't exist in my life

Hopefully I don't exist in yours either because

Who are you?

Charlotte Rose
Sean Hastings Dec 2020
Charlotte Rose not even here and stole my heart
Already wrapped around your finger
You will drive me insane and worry me all night

When you finally come I will finally know
A love that will never fade
One that will burn to my end

A rose
beautiful but ready to sting
Protected and brilliant

I will be there for you no matter what
For a love of a child is greater than anything in the

World
Charlotte Rose my heart and world
I can't wait to meet you
And for you to read this when you are older

It's hard to write at times
Sharing what I feel
Heartbreak comes easy to me
And I'm happy

Any uneasy feeling I keep bottled
Hoping it'll go away
Because I don't want to jinx
What makes me happy

But if it's one thing I know
Darkness always comes back
For it never leaves

Light
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
Surrounded by darkness, it seems the only friend you have
No future, no hope just dark
Then glimpses of light flash
A text you wake up to
A friend reaching out
A picture making you smile
Just then realizing it's not just darkness surrounding you but the sky

The darkest feelings show the brightest stars in your life
Dec 2018 · 381
For you
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
I want to thank you for being here for me
For helping me through this dark time
For lifting me up when I was down
For making me smile when I was frowning
For reaching out from 10 miles away or 1000 miles
I want to thank you for reminding me that I can be happy
For knowing I have people who won't leave me
I want to thank you for reminding me I am loved when I thought I was unloved
Thank you to my forever friends, my new friends, my secret fan, brothers, sisters I love you all ❤️
Dec 2018 · 263
You have
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
My biggest smiles
My biggest hugs
My happiest moments
My proudest times
My longest kiss
My funnest Saturday nights
My endless thoughts
My wishes on shooting stars

My love
But what happens when none is left?

Friends
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
Not everyone has a poem about them

or are mentioned under these lines

but their names are stitched upon my

heart over the cracks from past and

recent heartbreak holding me together

Keeping me from becoming broken
For those in my life who keep me whole but never never see their names in my poems, know who you are ❤️

New friends
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
New friends are great
Someone who doesn't know your past or cares to know, only wanting to know your future

New friends who want to see you smile, not knowing how hurt you are
But help make you smile when you thought wasn't possible

New friends are great because they know you for what you are, not your past
New friends help you see the future instead of dwelling in the past
For the one who made me smile when I thought I didn't have one

The Seer
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
The seer is a mystical flow in time

Once you connect with one your future becomes clear to them

But an unaware one won't be able to see clearly

Seeing flashes but not knowing what it means

Penning their thoughts, thinking they are forgetting you but seeing the pain in the distance

Forgetting about it until right before knowing something is wrong

Oh seer oh seer you saw my pain but unknown to you at the time

I ask you

Will the pain go away?
Dec 2018 · 298
About you
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
I pen these lines

Pouring my soul

Figuring out what I am

Without you

Heartbroken and destroyed

I just wonder




Will you ever read my lines?
Writing for an ex who may never read my feelings for her

Castle
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
The Ruler of Broken Hearts stares from his throne
Looking at that walls that bear his
Heartbreak, pain, loneliness

The castle is empty
The Ruler locked himself away
Not letting anyone in to hurt him
Again

The only thing in the castle is his advisor, fear
Fear looks over his shoulder whispering into his ear

He locks himself away because of this
Trusting fear that this was the best way to live

Though I'm the distance, another castle looms, The Queen of Healing the Broken-Hearted, who reached out to help when he was drowning

But she faces her own fear and over time locked herself away. No longer healing, no longer helping the world

The world remain unchanged when the Ruler hid, but when the Queen left darkness circled, hurricanes hitting every moment

The question becomes, how can the Queen be freed? And will it be to late to save the Ruler

Lost at Sea
Sean Hastings Dec 2018
Navigating life is hard
It's easy when someone is there helping to guide you
When that person is gone you become lost

Lost in the sea of life
Hurricanes crashing into your
Small boat, threatening capsizing it
Looking for the safe Sanctum

You search for the lighthouse
To guide you to safety, to take your
Heart into it's safety

As the darkness surrounding you
Starts to close in, you feel scared
Waiting for the pain of clashing on
The rocks

When the hope is swiftly gone
And the fear starts to overwhelm
Whispering to you to give up

A sleek light comes from the darkness
Not the same light as before
A brighter one, warmer than the last

This one comes not from one heart but those of many coming to save the sailor. Friends reaching out to bring him home

Though the light is far away and a hurricane to get through, the sailor realizes the fear stopped talking
And sitting next to him growing was

Hope

Slowly
Sean Hastings Nov 2018
Healing is not an instant thing
It starts slowly, moving for each person differently
You start in the pain, everything reminding you of what happened
The sad songs that come on the radio, the posts you use to tag them in, the time of the day when you would text them
You think everything is lost, that you can't smile, be happy or think about the future
But then the healing starts
You start to smile when a friend makes you laugh, you get invited out and don't think about them for the time, you see a post and think about someone else
The pain and sadness is not gone but the healing starts to lessen it. It will still take a long time to be whole again but the healing process has started
and the healing and hope begin to make you  whole
