Cut the Music, let the Nights play –
Resting my mind in the tune of Your sweet voice
Cushions and songs; the city lights Purr
Always so Curious about what happens in its
Streets – like a cat at any twitching thing
          
As I searched for the key to all her lost dreams;
Tears in their place, those Girls lost in city streets
The Room was messy, a light bulb barely flickered
In the dark nobody sees your tears, Your forced smiles
Yet, we always know that silhouette touch of a body

Sadly, curiosity seduced Me; loneliness consumed Me
Gentle perfume pulled me inside, to Sweetened eyes
My cold heart was Searching, that it sank in warm music
Under the Canopy shade of covered sheets, vowing never
To leave –
HER
Friends to lovers.
Lovers to nothing.

I remember the days you craved hearing my voice on your line.
Obsessed doesn't seem strong enough.
I would answer every time.
Completely gone over you.

But my voice was not enough,
Wasn't long before you needed my time.
My lips, my body, my touch.
I would give it every time.

I'm empty now, I gave it all to you.
Funny, now you don't want it.
Give it back, I need it for someone new.
She deserves this energy, that care.

She needs it, I see it in her stare.
This is a poem about giving yourself the energy and time you would to a partner. Love you first.

Knock knock

Whose There?

It’s Lust

What do you want from me?

I want you to have *** with your girlfriend,
the one that your cuddling right now

Why would I do that?

All your friends have done it,
Why should you be any different?

Why does it matter what my friends have done?

You are already 17,
It about time you became a real man

I’m only 17, there is no need to rush
And this is also not how you become a man

It will fell good
You will understand how addictive this feeling is

I’m sure it will be amazing Lust
But I don’t need to rush an important moment

Do you not love her?
Do you not find her attractive?
*** is only a byproduct of your love

I do love her
So I will not taint what we have
The byproducts of my love
Is the feeling of safety I’m trying to give her

Why do you not fall to temptation?

I’m guided by the Lord
Begone Lust
Return to Hell
And return my peice
I’m not even sure if this can be considered a poem, but it’s the way I think about fighting temptation.
Renan 1d
My mind is a crystal-clear pond
All the dirt has settled at it’s depths

Because from lust and sin, I’ve run away
And oh so far I’ve tried to stay

But you’ve jumped in the pond
And stirred it’s waters

What was clear is now muddled
And lust is back, at full throttle
The idea behind this poem was:
Love is chaotic, and it takes away your peace.
His lust used to cut me deep,
Raw and rare with flesh inside.
Draining his soul all to seep,
Until hearts left broken, cried.
We used to be best of things,
Days met, happier ever.
The beauty of all life sings,
Making shared times so clever.
So what happens when we’re grazed,
Too entangled in our den?
Razor sharp as we are raised,
Lived to tell life as sin?
Never wanting to confess,
Our lust and love a mess.

Take a hard look in the mirror before you go

Fix your hair, touch up your lips, is your eyeliner even?

Take a deep breath and remember that you’re here to put on a show

I’ll go with the long dress and boots, something that makes me feel my best

After all, lord knows how eager I am to pass this test

He told me to meet him at my least favorite bar

He’ll never know I hate it though, if we even get that far

I’ll bat my eyes and flip my hair

I can treat treat him better than all the other girls, unlike them, I actually care

I’ll even show him the way I can tie a knot with the stem of the cherry

Then maybe, just maybe, I’ll be the girl he wants to marry
The feeling of safety, a net that you've woven, a thoughtful connection with a person you've chosen.
And though you were fine, and you gave up on yearning, his charm was unmatched, your affections he was earning.
Never were you bitter about being alone,
Look at you now, hand glued to your phone.
He was a kind man, a soft man, not mean,
And that's why it hurts worse that it's not meant to be.
The worst part about meeting someone after you've established being content being alone, is getting reacquainted with the loneliness when they're gone.

I want something sweet on the tip of my tongue,
a strawberry, some coolwhip, and coconut ***
I need it to send dopamine to my brain,
I want to stop laying here, going insane
Ice cream and syrup and sprinkles could do,
But after it all,
I'm still craving you.
Salted caramel cheesecake,
This separation's hard to take,
Peanutbutter French toast,
You are what I crave the most.

I was made of fabric
Hair like silk framing my face
Naive eyes looking every which way
And through rough palms
I was strung along
And changed into tattered lace

I was made of leather
Firm but flexible
Looking for pleasure
I thought I knew better,
Had found the right way
I had to learn it hurts just as bad
To bend but not break

I am made of steel
Solid and sturdy, I don't have to feel
I can keep myself safe
It's okay to be alone at the end of the day
I built myself up, I filled my own cracks
It haunts my heart to think of my reckless past
You turned me into glass
A kaleidoscope heart
On display for your art
And I don't know how to revert back
Kalliope Jan 15
The tide rolls in, the tide pulls out, with every wave I'm drowning no doubt, totally surrounded, pulled deep in the undertow, my senses unfounded,
but you're where I want to go,
I'm thrashing and paddling, I'm searching for air, the current I'm straddling will take me somewhere, without reason I flow away from the shore;
Diving with intention?
I've never done that before.
If love is an ocean
I'm best left on the shore
I mindlessly dipped my toes in
And now I'll fade away to maritime lore
