#triangle poems on Hello Poetry

Star BG Feb 2018

The lives we lead
intermingle
with our impulses that alter
our destiny.

They turn out of control
as players are
filled with lies and truths
that become indistinguishable.

Hearts resinate with strumming song
in winding dark corridors
where locked doors
hold truths of love infused promises
for just brief moments.

Truths burn hearts
trying to release ties
for closure
as love triangle residuum's
made in candles glow
when liquor and hot temptations
took control continue to surface.

Where lies then become truths
to live by buried in
an empty shell of self
only filled with pain
and distant stares.

Secrets, do not live forever unheard
as lies sink and confessions surface
inside of tears and heartache.

Confessions that sifts reality
and leaves hearts injured for life.
Injured as one hopelessly lost in sadness
stands before a funeral persuasion.

I know this is not like my normal poetry
I saw a you tube called A nerd tries to solve a gang ****** to protect his crush. But then, he discovers the shocking truth.
It birthed this poem. Watch it if you care to.

Triangle world

Coats hanging on door
Make the world a triangle
And I like it

pieces of heart.

beautiful eyes, beautiful smile
beautiful heart, beautiful mind
beautiful name, beautiful self

those things i need them the most
those things i need to own them
for myself
and only for me

i’ve never said i love you
i’ve always been saying that i hate you
all because i don’t understand
my heart, my feelings

i pray to god every night
banging on his door
begging him on my knees
“i want to be his friend”

i’ve never heard from him
yet you come to build me up
and then tear me up
just as fast as escape velocity

i kept calm
because i somehow know
that we’ll be fine
i’ll be fine

but then i heard from him
he said with his punch against my stomach
his tight grip around my neck, choking the air out of me

“no, young lady.
you shall suffer more.
i will give you someone
someone you’ve never expected
to step on your bleeding injury.”

GIFT OF GOD,
do you know what i’ve been through?
do you know how it feels to be left behind without knowing the why?
do you know how it feels to see you pretending not to know me?
do you know how it feels to know that someone else has fallen for you?

do you know why on earth i keep on holding you?
embracing every memories that i have about us?
because life back then was simple
until you said your last goodbye.

sorry guys. i legit cried in front of my momma because of this.

'Twas Once Three

Mama didn't raise a player,
But here is the thing about me...
Two men want my attention,
But... 'twas once three!

When I walk my hips sway,
A rhythm hard to resist...
I turn must men down,
Yet they tend to persist.

Is it my dark, secretive eyes?
WHAT IS IT about me?
Two men love me deeply,
But... 'twas once three!

I am grateful for my luck
But the reason I sing my song
Its cause two men love me
But I only need one.

Transformations

I was reflected over the x-axis
And then translated into the third quadrant
All negative coordinates
On my three vertices

Marcus

hey,

i've sent u text messages
i've sent u friend requests
i don't know how to find you
is it even your number, still?
is it that you're still pretending
you don't know me?

listen,

what happened, happened
i slipped on purpose to try
i hit my head on the toilet
when i woke i was concussed
just and only, alone, lonely
without my friend

could i close my eyes
and go back in time
i'd go back and
choke myself out

i think of you once a day
no one asks, if they did
i'd go outside
sing as in prayer

hey,

if you need time between
the moment you left and
the moment you see me,
take all the time you need
but remember I love you,
let me know you're alive

listen,
listen
close,

the lines i crossed
i crossed easily
i'm sorry,
see me

i've never been so
ready to apologize
then again,
what does
that mean
when i'm
the one
you don't
mind is
gone?

hey,

i'll have you know, the life
you wanted and were in
was no more kind to me
the lover i loved from you
took advantage of my love
and infected me --

i hope you're still out

I still live in hope that you'll decide I'm worth your time again.
I made so many mistakes. I want to rectify them.
I don't deserve it, do I?

SELECTION

You didn't choose me.

I could fill the spaces between your fingers.
I could be the one
you can talk to on the phone--
from dusk to dawn.
My shoulders are ready for you to cry on.

I could have given you everything.
I could have given you the love you deserve

Maybe I wasn't the one for you.
That even if I muster the feelings
you wouldn't have the same for me.

I thought to myself,
"I am undeserving."
I hate the feeling that I am just an option
you have not selected.

It hurts
how you think
I'm not the one for you.

For my eyes, you were the only one.
You would never have to question my loyalty
You didn’t even give me a chance.

I guess you never will know.
You missed out.
But thank you for not choosing me.

I realized,
it's not you
I deserve.
I've learned
the one
that needs love
the most

isn't you,
but myself.
