I didn't take you back
just to be treated
the same
*******
way
AGAIN

I don't want to be second
I don't want to be taken for granted
I want you to put my love on top

You are everything to me
Why can't I be everything to you?

from this distance, the town looked like paper shaped
into origami buildings. you could tell that everything
has it's own hue of smoke and mirrors, even though
all of us are made out of the same material.

the buildings were built to fall apart eventually,
like a tooth pick and marshmellow tower, and
it's all because the fragility of these things we
don't notice. we do not notice the frailness
of these things because we are desensitied
to the idea of things lasting forever.

you could see how fake everything has became
like a fog enveloping the town from this distance.
nobody notices the big picture because the small
things are always more difficult to ignore.

everything was made of plastic and paper, and the
only thing that wasn't fake were the memories
behind this town. people don't strain their necks
when looking back at this flash frame town.

they don't feel the need to.

We were promised
Glitz and glam
Love and security

Never the beating down
Of our own
Never the feeling
Of an unlovable soul

Waterfalls into the night
We all know something ain't right
The nonsensical millennial
Smokes into the night

The harder we work
The harder we fall to our dying depths
And you wonder why
We haven't slept yet

We were promised
And now we are *******

There is nothing romantic or beautiful about smoking
Smokers out there are aware about their bodies being harmed because of cigarettes
I know people who have ruined their lives because of smoking
now could you please stop romanticising this thing because it is ******* ******* me off.
i just read some poems here which romanticise smoking..

Grow up and be a man
Stand on your own feet and never run

Fly like an eagle and explore the world
Don't sit down there or just keep yourself furled

You are not young anymore, grow up!
Be strong and be a man and don't play like a pup

What will you do when you are alone?
When I'm not on your side, can you survive on your own?
tired...

Off the cuff,
Not my best stuff,
Kinda rough,
Never good enough.

Willing to share,
But ya gotta bear,
With me there,
'Cause its got minimum flair.

Still gonna try,
My skill may run shy,
But I give a fly,
Hoped you like it, Bye!
Got called on in a guild chat to make a poem on the spot. This is it.

I hate that you took my breath away
And took off
