In a perfect world
where the best version
of me exist,

I will not lack love
nor friendship

That me would
not be devoid of myself
Nor i need
The never-ending self reassurances

Dear lover,
How are you? From the looks of it you're happier than ever.
I have never seen you smile the way you do now that you're with her.
She looks so sweet and so kind, and I am so happy for you.
Yet my heart still aches for you lover, my body still craves the feeling of your skin. My mouth is withdrawing from the taste of your lips, and my hair hasn't felt the same since you last ran your fingers through it. You look like you're drinking less, you look like you're spending time doing things that genuinely bring you happiness, my only question is why couldn't it have been with me?
I'm so happy you've finally found her, but I wish it were me.

No Attention
you told us goodbye.
we said “see you later.”

only
we didn’t know what "later" meant.

you just smiled,
and waved us away.

the next weekend,
we were visiting you up north.

only this time we understood,
what your goodbye meant.

I’m sorry we didn’t pay any attention.
When we definitely should have.

Only then you wouldn’t have jumped.
A couple months ago, a dear and close friend of mine decided to commit suicide by jumping off of a bridge. This one is for you.

It flickers
on the screen
the last
of what
was soon to be
amazing things
Self-sabotage
Liz Carlson Mar 2018
those dreaded words slip off my lips again,
oh why does this keep happening?
i open up my heart just to feel more pain,
by now this wound is far too deep.

"i love you",
i say a million times,
"i'll see you soon",
i hope it's not a lie,
"goodbye",
i say with deep agony.

our final words,
lets make them count.
our final breaths,
let's not waste them.

goodbye, my friend.

I always pray that it will never come to this
But if the day ever comes
when the last petal falls
I will be hiding far away from myself

The morning it falls
Ill starve myself and lock the door
Carve my self from you and all of your senses
On the stomach you always touch up all the way to my throat

The evening sun
Will take me to the kitchen where i used to prepare my love
How do i do things i do without you?
Everything without you left quite an ugly bitter aftertaste

I am thinking baby maybe
Ill keep myself away
From all the bottled red and blue on the shelves
But now, now could i even tell what is real and what is not?

On that day
I will cry myself a stellar river
Drowning every inch of my sense
Will it clean myself from you?

In another live
I will put everything on the line
That time around
I'll make sure that
I don’t have to write this stupid poem
listen to your dreams
get off of me
slap face
scolding
we
never hit an her
she scooted closer to me
then she
then she
then she
looked at me
ever so gingerly
then she kissed me
she batted her eyes
lashes
an

then she
slapped me
I wanna
I wanna
I wanna
do what
she
wants me
to
do

so she
so she

no.
sew she me to her
from the inside
she sees me
to her
pink
p
I
r
s
e
threw me under the hearse

we heard her scream
before the hearse
ran over me
listen to
your
dreams
?

gave up sweet months of time to be by your side
and for what?
for what conversation did we ever had that changed me for the better?
your taste in everything was politically vanilla
you fetishized my looks to the point of my own self-destruction
you made me question every flaw that fell outside the coloring book lines of
Your Dream Girl

our relationship was
sweet n’ low
i’m still looking for the real sugar

Is your good night the same as your good bye?
Like the day says farewell to the night.
A time of darkness with its mourn and sigh,
The only hour when I lose my own sight.

Why say good night as I’m about to sleep?
Such as a mother sings her child to bed.
Were you waiting for me to dive down deep?
Leaving me with the same words I just said.

The night is tranquil, as what I’ve been told,
But shadows lurk taking innocent down.
No matter who or what the young or old,
As long as the light fades, black is its crown.

Though the night will end along with its fray,
Will you still be there to greet me good day?
How painful it is for someone to tell you good bye.
But it is even more painful for someone to leave you as you sleep at night....
