There are parts of me that
lay unrested - they are ghosts
in hallways, they are smoke
suffocating in locked rooms.

Sometimes I can feel
myself fading and it takes
all I have to pull myself
back from the abyss.

I'm walking on ice, yet
to find a stable foothold in
life seems unprecedented.

I still haven't learnt when
my hands began writing
rather than shaking.

Isn't it funny how a word or two
could make me fall in love with you
You're all I ever think about
I am no longer filled with doubt
I think you are the one for me
I hope this is meant to be
I hope this lasts for quite a while
I couldn't go without your smile.
throwback to when we
named our crushes
inanimate objects
and adjectives.

I really like you
don’t get me wrong
I always smile
when I hear our song
But, oh my God
you’re in my head
You’re my last thought
at night in bed
I never was
quite the same
After I learned
your name
Something about it
just made me smile
Our memories
are worthwhile
But I mean, really
come on
I can’t imagine life
with you gone
Sure, I’d like to sleep
at night
But thoughts of you
cause such a sight
I’m always up
thinking of you
And how much
my love had grew
For a silly boy
with blue eyes
Falling in love
was no surprise.

I don't understand how to feel
I don't get what is your deal
I thought things were going well
I guess I was just too blind to tell
Maybe I am overthinking things
Was this just a high school fling
Maybe tomorrow things will change
This whole event has just been strange
Was I getting mixed signals
With someone like you I guess I’d figure
Well I can only hope that I am wrong
But only for you will my heart long.
And oh how wrong I hope to be.

How do we know if a poem is untitled or if its title is "untitled" ?

We were swimming in an ocean of love
You made me feel so weightless
but then I got caught in the current
You did nothing; you just watched me struggle
That's when I realized the current had no effect
and that you had been the one drowning me
from the beginning.
