trust
Tones Jan 2019
Take my open hand,
it shall not waver from sight.
I'll lead you from doubt.

beware the poets
Tones Dec 2018
You fell in love with a poet, dont'cha know?
Landing on their words after stubbing your toe
They stole your heart with witty rhymes
and now you're theirs ‘til the end of time.
Those romantic lies will keep you close
while they’re showing everyone how they "love them the most,”
and when you find out pretty words don't equal love,
I hope the realization gives you a shove.

monsters

Under the bed
I leave each mistake
and I think about them
as I lie awake

wandering
Tones Dec 2018
A leaf in a stream,
I wait for you to stop me.
To end my journey.

snowy season
Tones Dec 2018
Like winter flowers,
we embrace the bitter frost
and freeze over time.

Ink
Clean and well thought out
staining paper forever
ruined by a smudge

beauty on the inside
Tones Dec 2018
I didn’t like them.
They saw beautiful people,
not beautiful thoughts.

you do you
Tones Sep 2018
Most don't get it,
they don't understand.
They use malice and spite
instead of holding your hand.
Don't  dread it too much,
think of a better way.
They're just stupid people
influenced by a stupid today.
Blinded by want,
fueled by approval.
That doesn't make the things they say
any less brutal.
Why should you care what they think?
Why should you care who they are?
If you're nothing to them
they won't care about your scars.
Live life for you,
because thats all that matters.
If you can make yourself happy
you'll climb a thousand more ladders.
Some fun with rhyming

Waiting...
Tones Sep 2018
waiting for the clouds to pass
waiting for a tree to grow
waiting for the doubt to shrink
waiting for the day I'll know
waiting for life to begin
waiting for the sky to turn blue
waiting until the end of time
because I said I'd always wait for you

— The End —
