#telling poems on Hello Poetry

I told two of my friends
They were shocked
They were silent
They didn't know what to say

I told two of my friends
That I want to leave this place
That I want to vanish from the face of the earth
That I want to be gone

I told two of my friends
One called
One texted
Two were out of words

I told two of my friends
They reacted
They said, they didn't want me to be gone
They asked me to stay

I told two of my friends
I was in tears
I was shacking
I was crying rivers

I told two of my friends
They contacted me
They told me to hing in there
They are there for me

Thank you friends. I was a small sentence but a big word to say. It took me weeks to tell, and moments for you to call

Friends

You said you still wanted to be friends,
Yet you don't talk.
You said you still wanted to be friends,
Yet you don't say a word.
You said you still wanted to be friends,
Yet I don't hear from you.

When I text you,
You say words back.
When I text you,
You answer them.
When I text you,
I hear from you.
You said you still wanted to be friends.

Yet I don't know what you do.
Yet I don't know where you go.
Yet I don't know who you are.
Yet I don't know you.
You said you still wanted to be friends.

I wonder how you do.
I wonder what you do.
I wonder where you go.
I wonder if you want to speak to me.
I wonder if you lied to me.
You said you still wanted to be friends.

But I don't hear from you,
You don't speak to me,
You don't text me,
You don't call me,
You don't say a word.
And yet you said you still wanted to be friends.

When I broke up with my girlfriend she said she wanted for us to still be friends. But she only replies to texts that I sent her, and I text here only when necessary. But she doesn't text me. So I think that I would have to think that it is her loss and not mine.

Talk

I woke up because of my alarm.
I woke up in my warm bed.

As I was laying there my door opened.
As I was laying there my mom walked in.

She asked me if I am okay.
She asked me why I was so quite.

How could I tell her that I don't want to live.
How could I do that to her a second time.

She was sitting there next to me on my bed.
She was talking to me there on my bed.

And all I could think about was, how do I tell her.
And all I could do was nothing, because I don't want to hurt her.

And as she was talking to me, my bed started to cool down.
And as she was talking to me, I hoped she would stop talking about this.

Because it was hurting me.
Because it was to painful to talk about.

All I want to be was just to be dead.
All I want to be was just to be happy once more.

She came into my room, to talk with me. she noticed that is was being down a lot lately. She wanted to talk with me, but all I could think of, was the avoid the talking with her. because I don't want to talk about it with her. It will only hurt her even more if she knew what was really going on inside of me. How can I tell her, while I know it will tear her apart.

My Secret

If I told you my secret, would you feel the same?
Would we share the same intimacy?
Is it really a secret when It's begging to be told.
Secrets feel like some type of forbidden mystery.
Trapt away never to be told.
Only those who witnessed it know.
But you witnessed it and still do not.
It won't be my secret forever
It'll soon be yours too.

The Saddest Part

The saddest part is telling you I'm fine
The saddest part is when I can't look into your eyes
The saddest part is me believing it's alright
The saddest part is I can't state what's been on my mind

The hardest thing was not remembering
Cause in my mind, it's all over, they are swirling
It's here and there and I've been trying
Trying so hard to get them off but I can't stop thinking

The most painful is me still holding
Still trying to save what's left but there's nothing
Letting my mind assume that we can go back to the beginning
But I also knew that we can't because the story's end is nearing

The most painful sight is you too is hurting
But we're left no choice we aren't for each other's loving
You are the Sun that shines in the morning
While I am the Moon that hovers darkness in the evening

And the saddest part, the saddest part is me telling you lies
That I'm not hurting, I didn't cry
Not a river when I lay at night
That I am happy and fine and I don't mind

Rap Snitches

Rappers still snitchin' and sales pitchin'
Lyrics so they can fit in
A society only to keeps eye on thee
Like 2pac feel the heat rock pow that's the sound of a glock
Now he left alone trying to dodge the cops
Feelin' sorrow behind a cell locked soon to knock
On time doors but it won't open so he keeps hopin'
That he's homies will hold em down
When he's the only one witness around
So don't look down on nobody else frown
At ya self for playing ya self
Heart bustin' like a bubble soon to be left to rubbles
Now he in search deeply tryna peep through the hubbles
But ain't nothing to see but bars paved in silver
Walls white and three hots cot to fill ya
Time just wasting away but now you stuck to Doomsday

Tell Somebody Plz

By Arcassin Burnham

Love I'm buying what your selling.
Will it be us,there ain't no telling.
Girl you better tell somebody when the gettings good,
Don't you get this passion I feel so misunderstood.

Safe to say for heaven's sake where it is safe,
Like everyday and nights to when I think of you I elevate,
The faith that you anticipate,
Means much to me than my own state,
If there was 6 billion of you the world would be a better place,

Tell somebody,
Wishing the pale moon would call us,
spending so much time together,
Swear the time would be very obvious,
Conversation is a rare specimen,
Don't want it to come an end,
Love you to the moon and back and all of it's glory,
Don't care if we commit a sin.

It always feels this good when I'm kissing you,
It always looks this good in a setting,
Please don't forget all these moments running through the
Trees, heavy virtues,
You'll know it cause I'll never ever hurt you,
Love I'm buying what your selling.
Will it be us,there ain't no telling.
Girl you better tell somebody when the gettings good,
Don't you get this passion I feel so misunderstood.

Constrictor

I have a fear
A sense of doubt,
And I never wish
To let it out.

But in mind,
It haunts me so
Slithers about
In the darker groves.
And at moments
When I'm alone,
It sneaks on me
With its nasty hold.

It coils around my neck,
It scales the span
Of my body,
Pulling on me
Making me pale
And my body wobble.
Looks me in the eyes,
Hurts me till I cry,
I beg for relief
But I find myself
Escaping to a morbid sleep.

And before I die,
It lets me go.
Grins at me
And I know.
If I bury these things
Again it will show.

Drive Bye

Breath in throat. Breathe child breathe. Keep reminding myself this is just memory. Nor more reality.........

Seems like yesterday when you drove by. Nothing special nothing earned on that hot day. As every story of hot day that's were my story of you begins.

Water. Yes. For your radiator. Handing you the jug was tomorrow never seen. Oh, but I skip so much already to talk about are midnight escapes.
