Look at me again
with those guarded eyes,
freckled with bitterness
like glitter, and the forgotten love you can still taste on your tongue.

Do you breath a sigh of relief, now that you're gone?

My want is an ungranted wish
Since my words shot down all of the stars
That you once cast your gaze upon.

I thought you were my
                       lemonade stand.

But with every sip,
   I knew that you were

bitter upon my every taste..

And I asked for my dollar back.

You told me,
  

that with every lemon there
                is always pips.

but that every taste is different.

I will not let the world
Make me bitter

No matter what happens
I will try to spread
Kindness

Not because the world
deserves it
But because it needs it

One day
Bitter change
Slowing down circumstances
Under the sun the ground is quaking
I should not open the door
We're on the edge of the sea
Summer sensation
Secrets always surface where the light hits the sand
Set your sights without asking
Shooting stars beyond the landscape of your inner life

I needed you and you needed me, I was your light and you were my sanity. little did I know You were a snake you bite me and  your poison was slow, I was to caught up in your beauty to feel anything real on my own. I needed you but but it turns out you never needed me, you ate me up but you never spit me out  you trapped me in a sense of melancholy now I'm stuck in your illusion my best friends are complacency and self doubt. I always loved you but you never loved me...
Hey this is my first poem on here so go easy on me 😅

It's bitter to
fall,

bittersweet to fall
again.

what if one day,
i wont remember who you are?

what if one moment will cause me,
to forget all the memories we share?

Will you take my hand?
and try to understand?

or will you let me go?
if you do, just please let me know

but i promise you, if you stay
i'll remember it all again one day

because i may forget who i was,
but never who i loved...

my heart won't forget you...

Those eyes,
those cold almond eyes,
that once were welcoming
at the sight of me,
like a warm welcoming home

But now they swallow me,
like the sea swallows
an old forgotten treasure
About a curly haired barista I once fell for.
