You are the stars I see in my dreams
Not like the ones in space
You are brighter and bigger
And light up the sky more than the sun
I woke up at 3 am yesterday morning and this happened.
sc Dec 2014
i can't help but feel like i am partially to blame
for everything that happened to you
i left when you needed me
and now when i see you and you smile at me
i know it is out of shame and pity
and you try to say hello
but i hear the shaking in your voice
and i saw the signs
and i saw the markings that lead you to where you are now
and i think about what i could have done to change this
but remember you didn't want to be changed
but i tried to hard

and i heard you crying for help
but why didn't you accept it?
was it attention that you wanted
did you get what you needed?

and i heard you screaming and swearing at me
dont look at me like that
how could you
and i know you were mad because i intervened
but i couldn't let you waste away

although look now
where have you gone?
where will you go from here?

i passed you yesterday
and we looked at one another
and then we looked away
not saying a word
not even a smile
or a wave

I want to know what this is.
Explore each dimple on your face
and each sentence that you speak.
I want to know what makes you tick
and what lightens your world.
I want to be everything you want
and everything you have been looking for
so I can know you out and flip you inside-out.
Let me wonder your world and become part of it.
If you take a chance on me...
maybe I can love you.
sc Jul 2014
Dear you,
It is only the first few nights
But I am already so alone.
I know it will be a while before we meet again,
But I don't know how I am going to go on with you gone.
I miss you every minute and think about where you may be.
I am wishing you the best.
Please do not forget me, for you mean too much for me to lose you.
Please come back soon.
But Dear you,
I know you are happy, miles away from me, but please just don't forget about our times together.
I hope you think of me often, as I think of you.
And finally, Dear you,
On your journey, as I hope you don't forget me,
I also hope you remember who you are.
Love me.

"no no no"* he said
and he tuned his back away from me
and grabbed his backpack and jacket
in one swift motion
he was out the door
and he was destroying everything and everyone in his path
including himself
and soon
he had nothing
he had no one
and he wanted it all back
but he never said a word
a little bit of a story
sc Jan 2015
and as she saw his face amongst all the others
she wondered of she would ever see him again
her curiosity got the best of her
and she followed him down the road
through the other hundred faces
and she started running
faster
faster
and when the path cleared
his face was gone
just like it had been for years
found this in a journal and it was initially part of a short story i never wrote, but i decided to share.

fragile aren't you
no more running
no more walking
your bones have lost their strength
your mind has wondered off
will it return?
do you remember the simple things
like names
and numbers
or the color of his eyes
sc Jun 2014
Screaming your name couldn't be heard through those paper thin walls last night.
It stopped.
Ringing...
A painful ring that has yet to escape my mind.
Thinking about you has never hurt me so much until now.
I pace through the halls looking through the windows of the doors, asking myself "where could you be?"
You walk into a room with those bloodshot eyes, as I search for what may be going on through your unsettling mind.
Alone
Scared
Anxiety has consumed you.
"Where you talking to me?"
Where you talking to me?
Where you talking to me...
You are lost, but you don't have to be gone.
Please don't be gone.
Another poem for an old friend.

every time i see your headlights come up the road
and pull into my drive
my stomach turns and my heart races
just like the first time i saw them
sc Jun 2014
I realized tonight
that you are everything I wanted.
As we sat there in silence,
I looked at you for a moment
and I smiled at you.
And I don't know if you saw it
but know that it was real.
I felt like it was you and me all alone in this world.
Like we were driving on an empty road.
Going nowhere, no destination in mind.
I want it to be like this always.
If you felt it, I hope you wish for that too.
I feel better than okay with you.
I want to feel like that all the time.
And when I am with you,
I know the feeling will stay.
Because with you,
I am home.
sc Jul 2014
I wonder how you feel.
You, a stranger walked into my life.
Unexpectedly making me smile.
Maybe I think this is something it's not.
I wish you would take a chance on me.
That way you will know...
You will know all about me and what makes me laugh.
You will know about the heartbreaks I once faced.
You will know about the losses I have had.
I want you to know who I am.
Not who I appear to be.
Take a chance...
On me.

in a mere second, the words "i can't live without you" become a simple cliché that diminishes from the tip of his tongue and slips right through his lips
words that you once heard from his intoxicating voice
thinking about the nights when you felt so alone beside him, craving for his touch
he was an addiction, a drug, a dependency, and a virus
you were an addict of love, of something that no longer exists
as you try to crawl your way back to what you can't have
and when its 3 am and your ears are pounding
its his name running through them
but he has music playing in his ears
while the addiction continues to dominate you
there may be some lines I've already used before but i really like how this turned out

Save You

The first time I saw those blue eyes,
I understood that this was no ordinary friendship.
Your smile turned my world around.
And your laugh made my cheeks blush.
Never did I see it coming.

The naïve girl I was,
Did not see the mask you had placed upon your face.
The face that could cure cancer with that sweet smile.
The face I wished to see every day.
That slowly faded into an unpleasant frown.

I swore to myself that this wasn’t happening.
I wanted to believe you were okay.
Then I knew
I needed to save you.

But I couldn’t save you from destroying yourself.
You wouldn’t let me in.
I couldn’t save you from tearing yourself apart.
Not then, not now, not ever.

I saw your life ripping away, and you had no control.
The words you spoke were tired, and lifeless.
Like what you had become.
How could I save you?

Now you never smile, and when you do it isn’t really there.
You drown yourself in the smoke, the pills, and the suffocating regret.
You aren’t happy, although you say you are.
But is this what happiness is to you?

Now we talk as strangers, and I wonder if you miss the love we shared.
That smile that once made me laugh has made me crack.
Those baby blue eyes have transformed into a distorted grey.
I didn’t save you.

You walk alone now, and I hardly get a glance.
But you still mean the world to me.
You didn’t want me to change and I haven’t.
Because I couldn’t save you.
Just a poem I wrote for a creative writing class about an old friend.

She was alone.
A face in the crowd that not one person noticed.
She had no one, not even herself.
When she looked in the mirror, she had to turn away in shame.
how could anyone love me? she thought.
She hid her scars, her fears, and herself from everyone.
One night, she looked to the stars in search of an answer that never seemed to come.
She decided to give up on everything. Her hope, her dreams, herself...
And she let go.

The windows are clear, but filled with memories of long rainy days, tear stained sheets, and soft blankets.

As I watch from the other side of the glass, I wonder if you are looking too. The sky is soulless and dark, but maybe somewhere, you are wishing on a star for those stains to go away as the moments replay over and over.

We have faded from one another, and time still went on. The words "I can't live without you" turned out to be a simple cliché that diminished from the tip of my tongue and slipped through your lips.

And as I look out this clear window, holding the sheets that once held us, I look back to those nights where I felt alone with you beside me.

And maybe some day, we can clean the sheets together. We can look out this window and watch the night turn into the morning again. As for now, wherever you may be, know I wish you happiness and hope you think of me.
This is a poem I wrote a while ago, but I decided to re post it.

Let's take a walk.
I'll tell you all I know.
Watch the sky turn to darkness.
Take my hand and see what can be seen.
We will look to the sky
and discover a new world.
A world that will bring us together.

So here I lay in bed at 5 am.
With a pain in my chest that I have only felt for you.

I've been awake for hours now wondering the truth.
I cannot ask you myself.
But will you ever tell me?

I want you to be happy again, and if you say the words, maybe you can be.
I've missed your smile I used to see.

So here I lay in bed, now 6 am.
The pain still lives in my chest.
Why am I so upset?
sc Jun 2014
I find it strange that days go by
and new thoughts fill your mind.
Thoughts that could be eating you alive.
Thoughts that could **** you one day.
I'm afraid that your thoughts will
make me lose you forever.
And as I try to explore them, you refuse to let me in.
You walk around like everything is okay.
Is it okay?
Or is it easy to fake your smile and laugh at mindless wordplay?
I want to know what you are thinking and understand what could be causing you to be caught in a web like this.
But you will never open your head
until you one day wish to be gone.

i do not understand
why you only see your flaws
when you are so wonderful in my eyes
i watch you perform
i watch your eyes light up
and i see the smile on your face that is rare these days
you may think you aren't good enough
but if you could only see how wonderful you are
how you continue to inspire me and all of us
how much envy i hold when i see your talents
i wish i had your confidence
and the ability to do what you do
i hope one day you realize the wonderful things that you do
are not just for others
but for you
a poem for a friend
sc Mar 2015
breathing together
you and i
all in one motion
we are one
i feel your fingers on my skin
mapping the sky on my back
adding each constellation
one by one

and then my mind goes back
to the simple things
like the first time my hand fit gently in yours
or how your lips felt on mine the very first time

in my head i remember your whispers
the little things you say to me
and how i get that feeling in my stomach when i think
about how you give me goose bumps

i have never felt this way
but i am sure glad
this feeling won't go away
the feeling of you and i

— The End —
