Something about you
makes me feel at home
You're nowhere near
the familiarity of home
But something about you
makes me want you
to be familiar.

Time stands still when I’m with you

It’s chaos and stillness all mixed into one

Just enough air to breathe but not enough to speak

Arms wrapped around one another as if to brace ourselves against the clock

I’d open my eyes but I’m far too weak

Eyes closed, but definetly not asleep
A poem about someone else
cherry blossom Mar 2018
You pour too much, honey
You can give some to your self
Your bones were not meant to be broken apart
And to be given away as a parting gift
and your heart isn’t gonna take itself to sleep
to give way for another heartbeat
to succeed in making more songs for life to be lived
you deserve someone like your self
your lungs collapsed when you breathe
for anyone who needs serenity
you turn your back to your own battles
you were afraid to go home
when home became just a place
and you don’t know what happens next
you tried to cry
but the rivers were enough for you to sleep, so why?
You tried to look at your path
But you carelessly joined a troubled soul
And you waited for the aftermath
You knew.
You live by faith
And how it would lead to a better fate
You,
You tried not to worry about your pain
Learned how to live and love and die in vain
You deserve someone like yourself.
And not someone who broke you apart
Not someone who decided you were too small
For the eyes to see
Never someone who rated your worth with your color and melody
You weren’t gray
Nor the gave the slightest hint of happy
You provided yourself as the safety net
You never had one for yourself.
So, you,
You deserve someone like yourself.

stop searching for others' happiness.
George Krokos Mar 2018
Where there's a love that doesn't fade
there is also a light without any shade.
Where there's a purity without any taint
there is a place or someone very quaint.

To my future someone
Touch me
Caress my cheeks
I'll lean to it
Assure you I'm liking it

To my future someone
Embrace me
Lock me up in your arms
I'll tell you
I like how your arms wrapped around in me

To my future someone
Kiss me
Put your lips in my forehead
I'll smile
With contentment and happiness

To my future someone
Cuddle me
Put my head against your chest
I'll hold on tight
Draw patterns against your skin

To my future someone
Tell me you love me
Every night before we go to sleep
I'll say it back
With all the love I have for you

Just last night Someone was feeling down
Someone came to me
Someone did not know me
Yet Someone trusted me

Someone told me her troubles
and though I did not know
the pain Someone was expressing
The pain Someone did not show

I carried on with Someone
I talked to Someone as a friend
I boosted Someone's confidence
I let Somone vent and rant

Someone thanked me with happiness
Someone called my words beautiful
So now I wonder
Who was it that consoled who?

Tell me about your self

The real you, not what you think will sit well with me
Tell me why you want a particular thing
Tell me why its so important to you to leave
or stay....

Tell me about you.

What you remember about your first day of school
Why you stayed there
What you think about good grades
Why you want/wanted that course
About you time in school
Your best and sad moments.

Tell me about you

Who your first love was/is
Why you broke up
What you think about love.
Who your best friend is and why.....

Tell me about you

What goes through your head
Which faces you make and why
About your home and growing up.
About the things that make you smile or cry
Your best movie and song
Tell me anything.


Tell me random things that come to your mind
Just .....let... me... in....
I crave deeper conversation with real people

Then, there you are,
with her,
while i was helplessly
watching my figure
disappear on your face

This is NOT me!
This is NOT who I am!
This is NOT who I want to be!

I don’t want to be this person anymore,
This fake person who doesn’t belong.
I want to be my old self again.

I changed for you,
So you would accept me.
You still haven’t,
There’s always something wrong
That needs to be fixed.

Can I ever be someone you’ll be proud of or
Will I always be a disappointment?

Am I Perfect?
“No.”
Do I have your love?
“No.”
Are you proud to be with me?
“No.”
Would you replace me?
“Yes, in an instant.”
To you, the me that I am now is a bad thing,
So I need to reinvent myself to match your taste.

Well, I’m over it!
Find someone else to do your bidding!
Because I’m DONE being your little doll!
  
“WHO am I?”
I am someone I don’t want to be.
I hope you like it!! Please tell me what you think!!
