You, oh Lord, have come down to earth
God by design and human by birth
Entered into a relationship with us
Our creation is your magnum opus
We are made perfect through the sacrifice
Your death is what paid the price
And still you longed to always be
So close to us that we might see
You in all your glory and majesty.
In the form of bread and wine
Given a foretaste of the divine
United to you now in body and soul
I am ever closer to the highest goal
You are part of me and we are one
And never shall this action be undone
I can feel your heartbeat so strong
You are the words to my greatest song
You are as close as my very next breath
In fact, without you, I have only death
You are the strength to take the next step
You are the wind that fills my sails
You are in the smallest of details
You are so close that I am surrounded
So close the hairs on my head are counted
Why did you leave me?
Why did I leave you?
We were both tired.
Half-hearted jokes never would fix the cracks between us.
Small imperfections and biased opinions.
This was never going to work out.
We both knew that.
When all is done and I become with the stars,
Will you remember me?
For I have accomplished nothing,
Can you remember me?
I hurt you and you hurt me,
After all that, will you still remember me?
If I can't even remember myself,
Will you still remember me?
AWURAA 1d
Someone pass me a lid so I can shove these feeling of anger in.
I need to keep my mouth shut,
going to the lord in prayer, I don't want to speak words of death.
Proverbs 13:13

Supposed to be working on school 8-2.
I ended up on my phone scrolling through
photos of me and you
of the things we used to do.

So instead of working on my assignment.
I'm thinking about how our bond went
our entwinement
turned to misalignment.

With my classes needing sketches drawn
and memories brought upon
I'm procrastinating on
the classes that make me yawn.
lol silly
How do I make you see me?  

How do I step out
From behind the one-way mirror?
You hear me,
But you talk only to yourself through me.

How do I make you see me -
Not my clothes, or hair, or *******.
Not my body, sitting across from you,
Empty.

Drained by the endless hours of offering my elixir,
Hoping that when it is my turn to drink,
You will see my thirst...

Only you don’t.

You can’t.

Because no matter how much
You gulp down -
You are never satiated.

Your vessel is riddled with holes,
Leaking -
With each slurp you take from me.

How do I make you see me...
Crawling after you,
Gasping -
Yearning for us both to bathe in the elixir -
To soak it in,
Together.
Most of my poems written about relationships or love are based around loving someone with mental health issues, as I do. Now is a particularly tough period, and I find the words pouring onto the page quite effortlessly... suppressed words which are too harsh to say, but in poetic form seem completely appropriate.

Your existence, my love, is a healing light,
a steady hand in my darkest night.
You’ve filled the void I thought would stay,
turned shadows to colors, chased them away.

With you, the world feels softer, whole,
your love, a balm that soothes my soul.
Yet in this beauty, my mind still strays,
to questions that linger, doubts that weigh.

Am I enough, in all I do?
Do I make your world as bright as you?
Are you hiding storms behind your eyes,
secrets masked by calm disguise?

Things have changed, and yes, for good,
but something feels like it’s misunderstood.
A shift I can’t quite name or see,
a quiet echo that troubles me.

I wonder if I’m reading wrong,
if worry weakens where we’re strong.
Still, I ask, because I care—
is your heart with me? Are you fully there?

Know this, my love, through all my fears:
you’ve mended wounds carved deep by years.
And though I question, it’s only because
your presence has shown me what love does.

So I hold on, through doubts that creep,
trusting this bond we’ve made runs deep.
For even in questions, one truth shines through:
my world is better because of you.
Rirera 2d
she was my sun after a storm
my light in the endless darkness
i wish these words were mine
but i never dared to think about her

she played a piece only for me
written by her complex heart
i heard a symphony
it even surpassed chopin

this woman was a goddess
the most beautiful i have ever seen
she could have been mine
but i did not choose her

i couldn’t make it
say these three words of love
i stood there like a fool
on the edge of losing my tears

the most breaking thing in my life
was leaving her without a word
and the silence outside her small world
made me freeze like the coldest winter

it wasn’t her agony
which broke my heart
it was her confusion
as she called out my name
a poem about the story i am writing
At a certain point in my life I realized I would never be whole

So I tried to find somebody beautiful in the ways I was not

And then I clung to her and prayed

That we filled in the cracks the other left
This is how it started

I shook her up
She was ready to burst
When she was ready
I opened her up
And she exploded
Thoughts
Emotions
Interests
Secrets
It was all too much
So I dropped her

That is how it ended
Not a true story
