#lovesick poems on Hello Poetry

kortu valentine 3d

sometimes i wake
from a fever-dream
spent with a mystery being –
evaporating too quickly
to savour
leftover feelings,
and hidden benefits
of a midnight affair
with someone
that doesn't exist.

when the day
is half gone,
i'm still lovesick,
incapable of
stopping my mind
from hoping
there’s a button somewhere
to hit re-wind.

this one is about the dreams that evoke feelings whilst asleep.

love me too

They say I shouldn’t worry about romantic desires,
and that I have to love myself.
Well, sure,
I do love myself.

I love the way my hair bounces when I spin
I love how soft my face is after I use the special wash
I love it when I wear the really cool clothes my parents hate
I love when I get overly happy over the little things
I love running my hand through faded scars from struggles past
and thinking
Hell yeah, I’m strong for that.

But is it wrong to want to hear those things said from another?

I lay under the warmth of plushies and duvet
wrapping my arms around myself,
and imagining that they were my lover’s.

I dress myself in the mornings
and wish that there was someone to call me
— not just a pretty person, I know that,
— but their pretty person.

And I want to call them my
Moonshine
Starlight
Love.

Because, yeah, I love myself,
But I want to love something more

And I want someone else to
Love me too.

It’s like making a piece of art you’re happy about. You feel amazing about it, you know the process it took to get to the product and you’re really proud of yourself. But you don’t want to keep it to yourself, you want to share it with others, because it’s too beautiful to keep to yourself.

Aphrodite

They say it’s wrong, this fire in my veins,
Your touch—my balm, my bliss, my chains.
We meet in shadows, hearts alight,
A kiss, a crime beneath the night.

Let gods forbid, let fate deny,
I’d burn the world to hear you sigh.
Though we must hide what others flee—
You are, and will remain, my Aphrodite

Lovesick

“I’m getting sick of it, Darling.
Poems meant for you, I mean.
I want to grow, yet my heart doesn’t.
And that’s your fault.

I want to write the forest dry,
but my head doesn’t wander.
I try to forget, will I regret it?
But the trees keep sprouting.

I’m feeling ill, my love.
‘Cause you forget my name.
I’m stuck, the trees closing me in.
I don’t have an axe. I stay.

I want to throw up words.
Get sick of paper in my mouth.
But my heart seems glued,
Repeating the same.”

A.V.

when you love someone who doesn’t love you.

Desire

I once had a thousand desires
but in my desire to know you
all else melted away.

Dearly Beloved

Somehow everything is the same but all that was is different,
the people, the clothes, me and then there's you.

Karmic retributions keep tilting me away from you,
but hopefully, this time we'll make something that lasts so here's to the tomorrow that's yet to come.

Consequences, repercussions have me always missing you,
I blink twice, breathe once and suddenly there's no trace of you.

I've done my best and I have no regrets,
but maybe you do,
do you perhaps regret me?

But if not so, then where are you?

been awhile but i've found my muses now.

"A Time Only I Could Feel"

I find the beauty of time when I'm spending it with you;
I find peace in my mind when your eyes give woo.
Memories of the past forming in the present,
thoughts of your grasp slowly becoming vacant.
Nature blooms when I'm in your presence;
Never knew life could give a gift so pleasant.
I accept the cruelty of time when it is time to part;
My acts of folly only you could thwart.
I bind agony in my heart when your eyes gaze through;
Because time and time again I fell in love with you.

Just a piece of poetry I thought of when I realised I have such a wonderful girl

roses

if you bring me roses
I'll tell you I like them half-dead
and petal by petal, the rose closes
as I stare at it from my bed.
would you teach me how to love,
how to love a blooming rose?
your hand could fit mine like a glove
yet I'll still hide the feelings that arose.
I love escaping,
but please hold onto me even if our love is slipping.

I just want somebody to love me.

again

fell in love again.
with his little smexy jawline
and cute smiles that stain
my life like sunshine.

but I have to let go.
teach myself to not get obsessed.
the process might be slow,
but at least I won't be depressed.
