I just want to hold you,
Run my fingers along the outline of your star kissed skin.
Read poems to your ears and watch your eyes glistening.
Dive deep into the waters of your heart, if only you'd let me in.
Well I've never been good at swimming, and I'm afraid of the depth.

The stars seem to be engulfed by darkness tonight.
I find myself playing hide and seek with the words I want,
Because this would all be simpler if everything changed.

Here’s to the feelings that flow
through my veins,

here’s to the love whose trip
was a lot of pain,

here’s to the days
where I am in vain,

and here’s to your heart
that I cant seem to obtain.

Because you are one of a kind, hard to understand, yet you keep me balanced.

Walking across the sand, listening to the waves that come back and forth.

I wonder if I'm worth your time.

Glistening stars all around, you make me smile without making a sound.

As we peacefully sit down, I try and understand where you're coming from.

I put myself out there like an open book while you're a locked diary.

Only opened with a key and that has me thinking what can we be.

Moments where you want to be alone that's where I want to come along the most.

It's your warmth that brings me in, but it's your affection that makes me spin across the room.

Then how you can change from one mood to another
leaves me confused as to whether

I should stand my ground and stay strong
or come down and try to find out what's wrong
till you push me away

with words like I'm okay,
I'm fine,
when we both know their lies.

Sometimes it's the way we misinterpret each other,
but then again we are lovers.

Honor your mother and Father
It's a hard constant thought
It's been taught
So many times yet I can never keep that locked

I honor her even though she's dead
I honor him yet he's gone too
Seeing him though is a pack of lies
All I see is a glutenous fool
So spare your "tries"
I'm not your misconcepted tool
It's not what a dad does

You can call him by a title yet his colors will show another .

Sugar coat it like I'm a naive child but after a while
I saw that smile become a...
Liar.
Trust me you say
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE THAT TODAY!"
s t o p  i t

I've had 3 and believe me they have names...
But they are set by me.
Grand
Liar
Tryer
And don't try buying tryer cause liar could never be the supplier like the grand who showed me I can go higher than all of...Cliars

But what does it matter when you're a brick wall who shuns me...
A holy Trinity but more earthly.
Grand if you can read this, thank you.
Liar, hope you're safe but buzz off
Tryer, test me and you'll be on the ground soon

I am so confused on how does love works,
Even if I thought of it hard,
I still go back to the old definition and words,
But nothing really sunk in my mind.

How do we fall for someone?
It's as complicated as finding the right rhyme,
It must feel right, good, perfect;
Perfect to be in a poem to make meanings,

But not everything rhymes,
Not all is meant to sound nice,
Although, they can put meaning to it;
And make the imperfect perfect,

Opposite attracts, Like poles repel,
That's the science law;
And same feather flocks together,
That's what philosophers said,

You see?
Understanding love is more complicated than science and math,
It couldn't be solved by any formula just like that
There's no wise mind, no genius, no protege,

We became fools because of it,
Weak and vulnerable because of it,
Stupid and **** because of it ,
All of this for something we can't even define,

Love is love,
Love is happy,
Love is pain,
Love is you,

But we all contradict these when the rollercoaster started,
When things go up, down, upside down,
Trying to shake you and see how far you can last,
How long will you be able to hold.
We knew it but we're still confused right? You with me on this?
Where does a heart beat when all about it simply misunderstand
why it has been beating
what it needs to keep beating
and a direction pointed to a better time and place
where it isn't constantly battered and compared
"You haven't earned your space"
"You are one in a thousand trying to do the same thing."
However, the love for what you wish to do and create
From blood,sweat,and tears
it is a song that's hard to sing
years of perfection
Vocal practice
Before the created products are discarded as "Unneeded"
What about my heart frightens you?
Never the same as all the others
Never employing the same routine as the others
I am sick of being the one pushed out as the "sudden example"
to the flock
Where does one fill the emptiness without sisters and brothers?
Maybe a new fresh idea on the block frightens you since it might
"be the next best thing.. or maybe not."
One never knows unless chances are given
Without openness, the albatross has now a completed knot.

We must not need to define a "shelf" on Life's Display Case of
Importance
In order to get along and mingle

If we interact, right
Hey, this might be the "newest of Jingles?"

Open your hand and give a true chance.
Alike a sweat soaked Tango... Such a "Dance" is quite complex
In life, most things are a "complicated Dance."

That
thin
line,
Between
LOVE
And
HATE,

I never wanted you,

To
cross,
THE
OTHER
WAY...



....now it's deepened, and it's lost somewhere...Beyond my sight.
Buried somewhere only you could find...

It’s funny how seeing things from a different perspective can make such a difference
When you look out of the window of a plane and you can see your tiny house
And the city is no bigger than your thumb
And cars on the highway look like ants running from point A to point B
And people so tiny you can’t even see their faces
But then, when you’re back on the ground
You feel like a tiny insect yourself
In a city so big it eats you alive
In a house where the walls swallow you
On streets surrounded by people whose faces you cannot escape
On the subway when it turns from empty to crowded to empty to crowded again
When you look up to the bright yellow ceiling and imagine sunlight
When you get off at your station
And everything looks the same
Exactly like when you got on the train this morning
And like yesterday, and the day before
And how nothing will ever make this stairs look different
No matter what angle you’re looking at them from
Because when you’re on solid ground and not in the sky
Putting things in perspective is so much harder

calypso

the passing hours
the blooming flowers

speeding rapidly by us,
unrecognizable blurs
faster than our eyes can adjust
we know anything could occur

in the backseat
we feel the heat,
experience the bittersweet
no longer very discreet

the cavities in our chests
suggest a darker theory
we don’t want to test
as we range from cheery to dreary
eerie
weary

i have a lot to learn
on the path of no return
your inaudible concern
simmers into a slow burn

i tell you to go
all you say is no
call me cold
call you calypso

car rides are no longer entertaining
recently, this feels constraining,
stop feigning, theres nothing remaining,
nothing worth sustaining, it’s draining

we cannot communicate without
empty screens
empty stares
only adding to my doubt

falling out of love is like gravity
bringing me back down to earth
falling out of love is depravity
waiting for the rebirth

of feeling something again
i unhealthily think of you
every now and then
but ill pull through,

like calypso, you trapped me
in the middle of the sea
the only thing i could do was flee
i enjoy being free,

i have only regret
of the things ill never forget
like the curves of your silhouette
but I’m glad I’m no longer your juliet
stream of consciousness
Coraline Hatter May 2018
I'm okay
I'm not okay

I don't need you
I do need you

Don't leave me alone
I don't want you around

Help me
I'm good at my own.
