i still remember
your intoxicating scent
masked coldly in the mist of regret

i still remember
your alluring eyes
charred red, like the dying sunset

seven months
and i still can't forget

maybe having my heart broken by you
wouldn't be so bad
i just wish i could reset

i unintentionally made this one rhyme
silas Dec 2014
what would it be like
to feel the very flesh of another
against your own
their lips warm and pressing
eyes closed, hearts as one?
those who feel deaf, perpetual loneliness
can never know, will never.
seeming like you've received everything
you've ever wanted,
only having the opportunity
to share that sentiment
with another

sometimes
i find it hard to believe
that at one point in my life
i was unaware of your existence.
i didn't know that you could see darkness
only not during the day
i didn't know that you could see kindness
only not from those who love you
and sadly,
i didn't know that you could see beauty
only not in yourself

my apologies for the initials

it seems like all i ever do is worry
worry this, worry that
whether it be
the important assignment due in a few hours
forgetting to buy groceries
worrying that tomorrow, you may not love me anymore
perhaps, one day,
i won't need to

short poem
silas Aug 2014
behind the locked door
in a steamy cloud of mist
i drag my finger down the mirror
writing your name
over and over
inconsistent, misshaped words
humidity conquering my breath,
making it feel impossible to respire
yet i do nothing to help myself

maybe i'll die in here.

in that moment
i felt nothing
only
utterly
pathetic

s.b.//
a poem written out of pain
