my mom left me last night
by choice
same for my father
by choice

bright flames lit them up
as they had time
to save themselves
but they did not wish to
it was as if
they were okay with dying

i was not okay with staying
i had to leave them
by choice
i performed my solo sadly
as life danced on
without my parents

it was a nightmare
of personal choices
made by those i love
giving me horrors

i woke up at the stroke
of three in the morning
sweat dances on my back
heat rising like the flames
that took my parents away

it was the worst of them all
for i meant nothing to them
but it was only just a dream
i have been experiencing nightmares for the past three months every time my eyes decide to close themseleves. alarmed i am not. for i have turned the horrors into beauty, through my poetry.

bring me a star
shooting through the sky
to dream for me a chance
to be me for me
instead of the girl for them
Sydney Rose Aug 2019
i feel as if i can never win
even if i am in first place

promises mean nothing
when the person you love
breaks them so easily
Sydney Rose Nov 2021
what hurts the most
is that
i can never get back
what you have taken
from me

you
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
you cannot regret making a choice
that brings a safety to your heart
when you have been immune to life
with vulnerability to heartbreak
Sydney Rose May 2019
i crave a love so pure
that romeo & juliet
would die for
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
i was never once alone
because your absence
spoke so loudly to me
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
you cannot have me one day
then put me away to dust
then decide to pull me out
continuously times for play
i am not a toy
& i will not be treated like one either

                                          - self respect
Sydney Rose Oct 2018
i am nothing
but stardust

gracefully falling
galaxy’s mistake

stardust
nonexistent
Sydney Rose Mar 2019
you will never understand
the power of what i write
because you are not a poet

you will never be able to feel
the strong emotions of words
because you are not a poet

you will never see life as i do
because simply
you are not a poet
Sydney Rose Mar 2019
i am begging for sunshine
in places it cannot glow
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
i keep stressing over things
that only time has control of

come on time do your thing
because you have been
surely letting me down lately
Sydney Rose May 2022
i only wanted you obsessed with me

to mend the pain
of the absence

of me never loving myself enough
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
oh my heart
how much it hurts
for i long for a love
that is everlasting
but i have not received
what i have been seeking

oh my heart
how it beats so fast
for the recognition of
an endless relation

oh my heart
how it is in two
waiting for the one
to repair the breaks
with forever glue
Sydney Rose Jun 2022
it is starting to feel painful
being the only one
to still have love
for you & i
Sydney Rose Jan 2019
i only want him
to talk endlessly
about him to him

                  - what a girl wants
Sydney Rose Jun 2019
you are waiting for the right time
instead of creating it on your own
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
you were the perfect being
created for my special kind
i am convinced we are meant
but there is only one thing
stopping us from being together
which is sadly time

for i will see you again in life
after i have grown from my youth
to greet you with a loving smile
as i stand next to my husband
watching you two shake hands
with your wife on the side observing
as she rests her hand on her stomach

& that is when we look at each other
& accept that we were both
the ones that got away
because we were only teenagers
Sydney Rose Nov 2019
i am getting restless
for those who have neglected my love
shame on them
i will not be there for your next call
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
one day i will be able to love myself
more than the man i claim to adore most
and that is when i will realize
i have created an everlasting love
with only me myself & i
Sydney Rose Sep 2018
touch me.
tap me.
feel me.
let me know your presence is existent.

hug me.
kiss me.
hold me.
let me know your availability is existent.

taste me.
crave me.
want me.
let me know your desire for me is existent.
Sydney Rose Oct 2020
my pillow lays me to peace
to remind me of everything
i never had to be a possession

soft fantasies leave me at dawn
for it is time to return to reality

the sun rises to kiss my face
to grasp the sense of my fears

because what could should & would
are stored away within my pillow
constant daydream of false words
Sydney Rose Jun 2022
if there is more to this life
without you in it

i wish to go blind
because i rather wait
for another lifetime

to see the world
with you by my side
Sydney Rose Jun 2019
i can make myself feel prettier
than the way you did for me
Sydney Rose Dec 2018
for my creator took away my askings. not because i am ungrateful. yet instead as punishment. for putting up with the pain of my destructive gifts for too long. he has stolen them from him. in hopes of greatness to come. for am i the one who lost her dangers for better.
Sydney Rose Mar 2018
i loved you like rainbows
i tasted you like honeydew
little could you tell
i loved you more than she do

our skies were cloudy
my days became sadly
you walked a different path
knew the aftermath

honeydew became sour
not sweet like flowers
my heart was broken
words left unspoken
Sydney Rose Oct 2019
i always disliked
how you knew when to come back around
when my life was finally back in place
after each time you broke my heart
Sydney Rose Sep 2019
the dusty blush roses
that grew in my garden
were always seeds of love
for your beating heart

and the petals that fell off
slowly crying weak stems
ate the pain of your absence
with forgiveness of myself
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
you are trying to light fire in water
not realizing the problem was you
& not the situations you were in
for you were every element of
the beginning middle & ending
Sydney Rose Mar 2019
i should have invested time
into telling you
how much you meant to me
instead of
how much you did not
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
the way he was a part of my life
sung me sweet songs of love
but
the way he left my life one day
told a story of a lifetime
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
make sure you have not forgotten
you
are the greatest masterpiece created
with delicate care from precious time
you
are my reminder for me to acknowledge
love from one to another is attractive
Sydney Rose Dec 2018
my only regret is not knowing you weren't "the one" sooner. heartbreak could have been saved over one who cared more. the endless tears i dealt should have and could have been dripped over another love. but my weak soul was so tempted by your deceiving body that i lead on with your continuous lies. i wish i knew sooner.
Sydney Rose Feb 2019
what would you do if you had one last chance?

& if there is only one thing i want. it is to hear his voice on repeat in my mind. not telling me that he does not love me. but having him tell me that he does. like he used to everyday in the past. but if there is only one thing we both want. that is for me to forget him. & i wish that for me. but for my future self. & i have not come into an encountering with her. she is too hung up on the future that could have been with him. & i think that is what hurts the most. not everything that we lost. but what could have been greatly together. we benefited each other. & it happened too quick. him being taken away from me. i was not expecting it. i feel like it has not happened. i lay awake each night in hopes he will ring my phone to put me to sleep like he did every night by telling me stories. to eliminate the chances of me having nightmares because he knew how much they haunted me. & i try to find a piece of him in others. sadly i have failed to find that in the man who is currently loving me more than his own life. i have taken for granted someone who sees me as the sun. his own sun in his life. yet i am still in love with someone who views me as a sunrise. a beautiful viewing only paid attention to when wished. & when it is appreciated it is beautiful. but long forgotten as time goes by. & at this point all i can do is laugh because of the failure i have continuously put in my life. waiting for someone to realize my worth & come back. after times of being told no by not only him. but everyone. & yet i am the only one holding onto the breaking rope. because i foolishly believe that he was the best of my life & i have already lost the one thing that made me a little more of me.
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
i tighten my body with my blanket
wrapping it around my cold skin
pretending it is your warm body
spooning me with strong security
because my bed whispers stories
that you are not coming for return
Sydney Rose Jun 2022
i am starting to come to terms
that i cannot have everything in life

i just wish i knew earlier
that included you
Sydney Rose Mar 2019
i am always dedicated to revising my poetry
but i never take time to focus on me
my actual life
perhaps it is time to revise the toxicity
crumble up the paper you have been writing
endless ink colors on
& begin a new story on a fresh piece
i am beginning to understand that
it is never too late to start over in life
Sydney Rose Jan 2019
thank you for taking a fraction of my life
only to waste it with heartbreak
& leaving me alone to my thoughts
of countless memories of what ifs 

only for me to dedicate time to
pick up my broken pieces to mend my pain 
by rediscovering myself
& inventing a stronger me
that no longer sees you as a necessity in my life
Sydney Rose Sep 2021
what they did not know
was that i was not the villain
wickedly casting spells of hatred
on thee who spoke hell
upon the name of i

what they did not know
was my origin story
that caused me to go wicked

what they did not know
was that it was thee
who stabbed the knife
poured blood of revenge
from my pure golden skin
to spark the evil within
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
& the next time one decides to leave
i will securely fasten my shoelaces
& follow
not desperately in the same direction
begging in tears on my weak knees
but towards a new path of beginnings
sweetly existing in content without you
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
let the one you goes to sleep with you
be the person
who wakes up loyal to you each day
Sydney Rose Apr 2021
you are showing me
every possible reason
not to love you
yet i still ignore the warning signs
Sydney Rose Nov 2019
being with the person you deserve
will never compare or fulfill the heart of
being with the person you want
Sydney Rose Jun 2022
i had to **** myself
in order
to be resurrected

for the old me
was not enough
to survive in this world
      
                     - my revival
Sydney Rose Nov 2018
you are the person

i still search for
endlessly striving
to find your existence
in every form of life

yet i cannot succeed
to exhibit the captivation  
of such a loving soul
twice in my lifetime

you are my person
Sydney Rose Feb 2019

i learned to save the hard way
by not wasting millions on those
who would not spare a penny for me
Sydney Rose Jun 2020
i think what hurts the most
is knowing i have the ability
to voice my expodable mind
but cannot because inability
to recieve desired expectations
Sydney Rose Apr 2019
my innocent brown eyes
with curled lashing winks
will be manipulative to they
who i have no pure intentions for
