Hello poets and hello love,
Remember my belly button,
It had some fuzz,
Hilarious myth
That was actually true,
I was selfish the years I had with you.

I'm sorry.

I want to start completely anew,
And love every second of all that you do.
I want to learn what's all in your head,
The nights after work as we lay in our bed,
Every minute apart is completely a waste,
I dream and wish and pray for those days.

I drifted off to sleep last night
and awoke so far away
in a place where things are right
and lost things go to stay.

I found my book from second grade
that I swore was left on the bus.
And I found the diamond earrings
Granddad gave to me with trust.

I saw the second button from
a jumper made of plaid.
And the glass eye
I believe Blue Bear once had.

I walked around for hours,
but then the deepest sorrow sank through
For the in the far left corner
there
sat
you.
Stand by your oath and release what they're supposed to see
Because I don't like living in a dark, twisted , fantasy
We're not here to end the peace
So let's go back and let our evil decease
Press the button

The only button I’d love to push now is fast forward to the time when your name won't cut my throat like swallowing broken glasses

Nowadays it’s so easy to communicate with people

Just one click and there you have it

No waiting is applicable

Easy to reach

One blink of an eye

Fast like a wind

Just like love

Touch the button

Press send

Cupid will deliver your answer

Break Up

Leave a message after the tone

Your heart is broken
We no longer value patience because of the technology. We can get what we want in one click of a button. Hate to say why there's lot of broken people because of easy access to technology.
you let go of me
like threads
on an old button

no longer intertwined

you were once my support
you held me together
you held me tight and close

slipped from my grip

you said everything
happens for a reason
i saw it as treason

you never gave me a reason

you betrayed your
own heart
love

how can someone so beautiful
be so hideous
on the inside

that

I will never know
The last day I had an encounter with someone I truly loved, I held on to their hands tightly and slightly pulled on the sleeve of their coat. A button on the sleeve came off easily since only one hole was supported by the thread of the coat lining. I kept the button. I had struggled to be a part of this person's life for almost four years. Each hole on the button represented a year. The last year was the year I finally had to learn to let go.

I was doing the laundry today.

For once in a few grey days; blotted with far too many ink stained hands and only blank pages, the sun finally peeked shyly.

I dug out my old jeans, emptying the cotton-lined pockets.
My fingertips are met with a navy blue button off one of your many dozen flannel shirts.

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you

And I cannot even sew.
But that button would have to wait, I need to sew myself up first.
Hugs for you, you and you!

You know if you are generous
and your read this poem
Please click the love button

It's love as easy as
One two three

Why are we stingy
When it comes to love

We are worried
The other person is
going to break our heart

Let's free up
ourselves and love
without conditions

I dare you click
the love button

If you read this far
then you are
a poetry fanatic

or some addict
of some sort

Release your anger
on the love button
and let it splurge

Thank you for your time
I hope you enjoyed my spam

Your name,
has become a curse word that falls from my lips.
The picture of you in my head,
has become blurred and wants to be forgotten.
Your voice,
has become a door that lacks oil.
The way you move your body,
must be because of your deceiving bones.
Your rat like eyes,
have become the worst color of diarrhea.
I know this is not the just the “Call out a back stabbers” poem,
lets name the flaws on and in my own skin,
that just so happened,
to be pointed out by you.
As you covered my face in nine pounds of a “makeover”,
you said you couldn’t see the flaws on my skin anymore.
Flaws?
You went far enough to point the pubescent scars.
of my lips, cheeks, and chin.
The shyness I have of talking to my friends,
was pointed out because you didn’t have someone to talk to that night.
Excuse me,
but I thought the effort of the friendship was supposed to be put forth by both “friends”?
Next,
near the end of the friendship,
you often told me I was a terrible friend.
I cried.
A lot.
Later when that came up,
you told me you were just trying to make a point.
Why as a friend didn’t you just try to talk to me,
instead of trying to start insignificant bull crap?
But here I sit now,
with friends that could always be so much better than you.
I often hear your snickering words behind me a your lunch table,
and I turn around and smile at you and your “friend’.
You usually **** your head in confusion,
but really,
that's me.
The 15 year old giant ginger with a second graders personality,
stinking my pinky finger up at you to flip you off in Chinese,
and to say in a nonexistent voice,
“frick you”.
Thanks for reading. This was very much inspired by Button Poetry, in which I am watching every video on their Youtube channel at the moment.
