I'm not married to any one color of ink,
but only how well it can cover distinct
and interesting topics pulled out of the air
while behind it a movie plays without care.
Can I create something of value from here?
In a place remote and removed while still very near.
For the movie has been playing for years and years
will all its goings-on, hi-jinx, drama and tears
But it always plays just beyond my reach
I'm front-row, orchestra but this cast doesn't teach.

Sometimes blurred hopes lie behind
scintillating eyes.
Nolan Willett May 2020
How terribly dull it must be
Relating exclusively with fact
Where everything is a known quantity,
Is your sense of wonder even intact?
Or did you leave that behind too,
With everything interesting about you?
Amanda Kay Burke Apr 2020
Promise if you get lost
We'll get lost together
Do not let go of my hand if you are drawn into the nether
I love too much to let you face darkness alone
Regardless of how hard you try to go on your own
I will follow you all the way to hell if I must
You may as well give in and surrender your trust
You will never shake me or scare me away
Caring arms are here to stay
If we lose sanity I will not mind
As long as I'm never left behind
If you tumble down the rabbit hole
Have no choice but to fall
A life without you is no life at all
Promise me if you go down, I go down with you. I won't lose you. Not again.

i keep finding myself
stumbling over things
three feet behind me
don't let something burnt out keep you warm
Zack Ripley Jul 2019
I need to say what's on my mind before I leave this life behind.
When I'm gone, please don't cry too much
I'll still be with you even if you can't feel my touch
I want to thank you for changing my life for the better.
You inspired me to be a better man.
And as I make my peace, just remember I will always be your biggest fan.
Zack Ripley Sep 2019
With the future ahead and the past behind,
It's safe to say I've got a lot on my mind.
All the things I've said and the things I'll do
Swirl around my brain like a twister passing through
Euphrosyne Mar 2020
Behind the lines
What we are doing?
This are for the sake of our feelings
Because we look forward to pursuing.

Behind the lines
We play safe,
To avoid the probable chafe
So we're exchanging sweet words secretly by strafe.

Behind the lines
We play hide and seek,
We are so obvious about our feelings, I can see we are both weak
We're so scared to find out but this could possibly leak.

Behind the lines
We communicate,
We talk for our fate
But we know we're not ready because of our state.

Behind the lines
I made a move,
Asked you to enjoy and groove
And said that I'll wait, just watch I'll prove.

Behind our lines
There's a trauma
That's why we felt this aura
That brings us both to a nirvana

Behind our lines
We are scared
Because we were unprepared
Our feelings were undeclared
But I'm telling you this at first
Before we met at the line
My feelings for you was clearly declared.

I think he's dead
Or has moved on
Perhaps is scared
Perhaps is gone

Why won't he move?
Why isn't he breathing?
Yet somehow his words-?
How is he still speaking?

When someone leaves
They leave something behind
They leave the memories
They leave their footprints in lines

Sometimes I'll follow
Others I'll stay
But what is it worth?
They're still gone by the end of the day
...
Poet X Mar 2020
I tried to put into words
All the hurt I felt
When you left me
And for once
I was left speechless
And I could not write or read or eat but



. . I still cannot put into words all the hurt I’ve felt
since you’ve left me
