I thought you were an ally,
but walls divide, and I

don’t see a way around
this tonight.

You can’t avoid the fallout,
because being dead inside

isn’t a good reason
to sidestep

when you told
all those lies.

Just look me
in the eyes,

tell me it was worth
bleeding what was left of me

one last time.

I know there’s
the devil in the details,
but as far as I can tell,

I’m over it, and
I’m done seeing red.

Live your own
life in sin,

because I won’t live
my life with your regrets.

i spoke
and now i know
what i wondered long ago

i can't hide behind
that favorite line
the one i use to fantasize:

"what if I -"

speak and i am heartbroken.

----------------------------

"what if"

i hold my tongue and i never know?

i cannot say i'll never know
i broke my silence, not long ago

and my heart is broken
but at least i know,
which is better:

and it is to speak.
an answer is an answer, and i answered my own question on top of all of that.
Hello Daisies Nov 2024
We flew too close to the sun
We became codependent
I became a defendant
It was ending
It was going
It was breaking
I was dying

Every breathe
Every memory
Sharp edges
Dead battery
We were beauty
And grace
We were love
Smacking you in the face

It was epic
It was glorious
It was tradgic
Never victorious

It was time to go
Time to move on
It hurt us both so
But it's good to let it be
Open up and see
After two years
Of endless tragedy

We can grow
We can learn
We have to love ourselves
To love others in return
I love you and I miss you
But it's not meant to be

It's not a tragedy
It's okay now I can see
You were epic with me
But it had to end
We were so close to that sun
If we stayed
We'd both be gone
All those poems I posted about one person and how much it ******* hurt. I'm feeling ok today. We talked we shared. I got to say how I felt and she listened and it was nice. We love each other still and I can look back and not hurt so much now. Where do we go from here? Idk but it's nice right now

For one last time, the sun sets on the stacks of notes, dreams and piles of unfinished business
And one last time we'll put down what we're asked on a lonely piece of paper
For after that we all change and we stop the old habits forever

As we walk through the memories, faded behind glass
It takes just a moment to go back now, but soon we'll forget
And all we'll know is how it made us feel, the euphoria within

What I'm trying to say is,

Would you stop to thank yourself?
If i took your hand and brought you here.
To see how far you've come and what you've done
Would it blossom in your heart, like it does in mine?

To hope is to forgive, and to let go is to learn
And to be hurt and to be picked up again is to stand up for ourselves
One last time before the Sun sets
Would you take my hand and reminisce in what will become the foggy past?

And we're a bit far apart in minds and hearts
But this one room seems to blend us into one
To remind us of the flesh and bone we all share
And the pain that we bear, all together still
That we'll soon have to take back, heavier than we gave it away

What I'm trying to say is,

Would you stop to smile for a moment
If i took your hand and brought you here
To feel the uncertain envelop us silently
Would you do it, but even if you turn away
If i could tell you one thing: don't let this be crushed to dust,
Don't forget the last of us.
A poem for future graduates. I'm proud of you.
Hello Daisies Sep 2024
I have forgiven
The little girl I was
The naive teenager
The wounds I caused
I have comforted
And shown love
Yet I still felt
Lost and alone
Searching for
The cause

They say find closure
They said look back to her
The little girl
So scared
I didn't understand
I wrote notes
And poems
Sang songs
ignored them
Seeing them
Seeing you
Seeing my past
Hearing you
Father may I
Father I know

You said to not live in fear
Fear is all I know
All ive ever known
I live breathe and eat
With fear beneath my feet
Now I see
I never show anger
I only show fear
Living in silence
letting them run amok
Be slow to anger
It's been long enough
No more fear
I am enough

I am strong enough
I am brave
I believe in the heaven above
And I have behaved
No more fear
No more shame
You all are to blame
And I will take names
I will tell you to *******
I will tell you all
I will find my closure
And feel no fear at all
My toxic trait is wanting to write letters to those that hurt me and make sure they read them and their whole families and they cry. **** y'all lol jk 💕🥰
At the eve of another summer
I found myself in a Paradox
Longing to painfully suffer
due to a beloved lost vox.

The greatest pain for the greatest joy,
quite the paradoxical alloy.
For a voice to be pandora's box,
fate of the shattered heart boy.

The promised call, refused in past,
For no heart could possibly endure,
is steadily approaching, at long last,
to ellicit a heart-rending overture.

An opera of pouring pain.
Even the sad tears cry in pain,
but everything cries in vain,
for her heart was washed by rain,
and will never be mine again.

The ambrosia out of reach.
Its scent alone is enough,
to relive blissfull memories
and dreams of a future... a bluff.

A world where you're next to me,
but i'm forbidden to hug, kiss
or tell you i love you more than life,
is not my world, but Tartarus itself

In my world it had a simple name:
forgivable human confusion,
led by pressures, human, all the same,
inconsequential to our passion,
once ours, now mine.

Our worlds shan't collide
in any future fate.
Your friendship i must decline,
to be reborn and not desintegrate.

The green hills of my heart,
the blue ocean of my eyes,
the starry sky of my mind,
the nature masterpiece of my soul... Is gone.

All that remains is a heavy chest,
containing Schrondinger's heart,
with a decaying undead hope,
to both reunite and forever stay apart.

Eyelids drop like guillotine blades
Cutting off a visual connection with reality
The world falls into the vastness of a bottomless basket
And the body becomes unimportant
As this energy that was once somebody moves on to what's next
