No Name Apr 2017
Laughing now because I found something old
It doesn't bring back anyone, only memories
At least that was what I was told
Regretting that I never sent those messages

Who knows, maybe things would have been different
Maybe I wouldn't have felt this bad
Maybe... Just maybe, I wouldn't have become insignificant
But life is all about the choices we make

I could have tried to keep you by my side
But I knew it wouldn't have made any change
I'm not saying I gave up, but I saw how hurt you were when you cried
It was just that the timing was off and I had to let go.

here we are, silent as a city burns between us
so, this is how it feels like to gaze upon the ruins of what once was and never will be again
so,this is the aftermath of an endless string of almost's and could-have-been's
look at this, look at what we have done
to the people we used to be, to the people we could have been
look at the crumbling walls, look at the ashes, look at this burning debris
this is all we will ever be until it claims us again
please remember this moment, the beat of my heart drowning out the sound of the chaos happening before us
remember this moment, them burning as bright as we had
remember how my name sounded like on your tongue, like it has been the one you have been calling out in all of your lifetimes
remember how we built this city for our empty souls only for us to be blinded by the lights
remember how I let you read all the tragedies my paper heart had bled
and you showed me all the oceans you had cried
please remember because I will remember you
I will remember you like how the books remembered all the kings and queens
I will remember you like how she never forgot all those that have wounded her deep
I will remember you like the way she has always remembered to forget how to forgive
this is how it ends, you with your temporary peace
me, envying the forgetful for remembering is my curse

i will never understand the phrase,
'You only love her when you let her go.'

ever.

why would you let her go back into reality alone,

why would you let her go face society, and become one of those human drones,

why would you let her lay in her bed alone, and allow the fears to consume her life,

don't you want her to survive?

do you not know that youre the oxygen that keeps her alive?

maybe i've just fallen too deep in love, but i sure as hell will never let my dove go,

unless it's freedom she asks for, but until then she's forever mine, and therefore i hope our love will grow even more.
this is about a guy talking about a phrase he doesnt seem to understand. <3

A bad memory
She
Gladly
Left-behind.
His heart held heaven
Now she's ever on his mind.
He feels such adoration,
Deeply, vividly, he dreams.
Only to wake and scream.
WHAT  THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?!
Her words wiegh-well on his withered weathered soul.
The Love he lost, has taken its toll.
"If only"
He says, painfully...
"She would just speak to me"
Body weak he seeks to be...
Someone else...
Who never knew.
You like I do.
Don't worry;
I'm threw.
*******.
Taped.
Torn tattered and tied.
I may be the bad guy...
but your the angel who lied.
Told me I was the best.
Then told the world of your curse.
But what hurts me the worst...
Is that you still hate me so.
When it was you who...
Decided to go.
I have tried to let go.
But my dreams of you grow.
And the sadness that lingers,
When I wake
from your hair through my fingers;
Feels like...
A jagged rusty knife,
Being removed from my life-source;
That bleeds when it beats I need the "we" that can never be.
Forever me. No doubt that you'll ever care about these;
Seeds that have grown into trees.
Please, baby please set me free!
Indifference of my existence
is virtually
Reality.
I kissed the greatest of fallacies.
In your pretty eyes I saw galaxies.
I might as well die when I rise from sleep.
Realizin' our venture was make-beLIEve.
I dream;
of dreaming about your face.
Placed;
once-again,
in
your joyful grace.
One kiss could erase...
The hate that bores through my veins,
For self;
Cause I have made
you very estranged.
If only
I could rearrange...
The paths we took to the open range
Of hope & change.
I miss you.
Missing me.
I doubt I'll ever be free.
Without you... my heart
continually
bleeds. I cannot see;
how
I could have kept you from leaving me.
Was it just that that was my destiny!?
To finally
find happiness just to have had it's bits torn from me? Was I just born to be;
Oximoronic and dastardly?
If only...
She answered me.
This is the first-ever poem (that I "almost" sent) that I just very recently wrote TO/FOR my xwizzle. She was so beautiful, and still I have these nightmares about her. She is my kryptonite. As I was once her "superman"

I'm tired of forcing you out of my every thought.
Convincing myself I don't want you isn't working and I'm sure it hasn't worked for anyone.
You can't just flip a switch and forget about someone.
What if this person was exciting?
Made you feel desired?
Made you want to get up in the morning?
Why would you want to give that up?
--
The truth is, the possibility of us is all that it's ever going to be.
A possibility
A what if.
A maybe.

And even though it hurts, I don't want to fight my thoughts anymore.
I'll think of you until I'm ready to let the idea of you go.
That's all you are anyway.
A stupid idea.
I don't really know. I just started typing and this happend.
