Take my hand and let's go
All you have to do is say so
I know you are at your all time low
I should have asked a long time ago
But then I didn't know what I now know
This is what I've wanted from our first hello
Please don't say no
I feel like I'm surrounded
With a halo
From top to the bottom
Which makes everything seem aloof
& my soul is arrested
Tearing my shirt off
Can't help me feel a little bit
Rested
& I stopped my desires of being Requested
Guys comment below how do you keep yourself inspired during this hard time?
Ayn May 2020
The leaves May be a May green,
And spring May almost be out,
But to me it is still March,
And April May never come.

May-be it will be March
Until I get back in August.
May-be March won’t ever end.
;) so that means in all of March I’ve been rejected 3 times, one of which I probably shouldn’t count.

Also I just realized that I have 72 followers. Thank you, you amazing 72 people! (I thought I still had 49)

The anxious feeling bubbling in my stomach
The heat up my throat
I hear the gentle ticking of the clock
I close my eyes
And time feels like water down my arms
As if my body is floating away in a pool of
Something
Warm
Yet cold
And every breath I breathe travels around
Like curious ghosts
Eating up boredom and fear
To pass the time.
I haven't moved from my bed
Since the beginning of the end
I guess I should lift myself out
Of the cyclical nature of doubt

I guess I should do some push-ups
Or something, send some follow-up
Emails that don't mean anything
Beyond their calculated greetings

I guess I should fix my posture
So that, in some way, I can procure
A friend, a lover, success, and ensure
That I can stand tall without being so sure

Maybe I should read a book, watch a movie
Discourage my brain from a slow atrophy
I could call up my friends and have a chat
But will this resume when the screen goes black?

Maybe I shouldn't do anything
No, don't think like that, there's a lot to achieve
But is there, really? I mean, really at all?
Because it seems that no matter what
I'm in perpetual free fall

when will i
be held to account
for these quarantine sins?
Ritz Writes May 2020
Observing the detailed lines of my curves, eyes and lips; he touched my soul in all its tainted glory.
Passion is like the rhythm we tune in as we danced away to an ****** beat;
Burned with flame, seeking home and romance in each other's company.
Lost in an ecstasy
Shunned away from reality.

there's nothing i love more in the world than time alone with myself
but lately it feels like im talking to my reflection
my reflection that doesn't even look me in the eye
and it's an infinite loop of meaningless conversations
unanswered questions
and replies left unsaid
as the days blend in to each other
i don't even know what day it is
i don't even know what time it is
or how many days have passed by
or why the world seems so bright and hot
but i find myself curled up into a ball
shivering for god knows how long

i'm just a ghost, eating up boredom and fear
trying to pass the time.
until no time is left at all
and it all comes undone
crashing down into nothing but a hostless husk.

(reference to another poem of mine called Passing Time!)
