When they said,
Things are sometimes—
Better left unsaid,
When we said goodbye?
Like those times?
Jessie Mar 2018
A stream over rocks
mimics the way
the breeze brushes past trees
and taps at my windowsill

It’s almost too quiet
Among half sober, half lucid professions
Entre murs, deux par deux
Hiding syllables I might have said twice

I wanted to tell you
But then changed my mind
So inopportune words
fold into a breath

And melt into murmuring rain
Ineffable Soul Mar 2018
Trouble
Uncovering honest words to write
Buried
Deep down inside
Far from reach far from sight

There were lots of things I wanted to say
Wishing and praying for you stay
I tried to beg in all kinds of way
But right after you went away
I knew at that point that my life turned gray

Don't you think today is a beautiful day?
It rained, but that's okay.
The weather doesn't define a day, nor a book its cover- Wait, scratch that, reverse it... Oh! But my words don't matter!

Whatever other cliché you can think of, it still pales in comparison to the glimmering, glittering, glistening giddiness I heard in your words, like a small child after indulging in his second juice box.

I felt it in your smile, though I couldn't see it. So strong, it broke through the foggy break in an unforgiving sky. It was the kind of feeling so strong to radiate through my flesh like building, blistering, bubbles about to pop in a *** of boiling water.

Oh, but the sun was so bright today!
Its ultraviolet burn into my skin... an exhilarating feeling, like tears at the end of a good movie, without an inkling of sadness within a thousand mile radius, like puddles after a cleansing drizzle.

My, what good weather we're having, wouldn't you say?
It rained, but that's okay.

Sparked by an absolute overwhelming giddiness, here are words I thought, but never said.

When I asked you
"Are you okay?"
You said nothing
But two seconds of your silence
Spoke two-thousand words
You simply could not say
Annie Feb 2018
I know it's unreal
But so are you
I love some, and you're among the few

I hate the way
You look at me
As if there's nobody else but "we"

But it's only when
I catch you starring
That I feel like finally someone is caring

I wonder what it feels like
To be young
To have someone become your heart and your lungs

How do I tell you?
That you seem like my only home
A flower growing from a seed I hadn't sown

And even if we don't talk
I know you'll be here
I know that I'll have your love in rare

Local cursors, yet so clever
Bribes an adrenaline
Her addiction through the keys
Felt like nicotine
Copy paste,
Copy paste,
How many words to chase?
Delete or erase,
She astonished a few mistakes
Only realizing with an aftertaste

She would scribble down new abbreviations
Silly explorations,
And sincere appreciations
Highlighting them in Italics

Countless minors criticize,
Eighteen, selected font size,
Affix buttons of grammars or otherwise,
The error might sound automatic

Detached quotations,
Unfinished conversations,
Unprepared preparations,
These flares are somewhat emphasized in Bold

Published chapters,
Wasted hours,
She double-dipped in his sweet & sour traits
And then betrayed her own heart of Gold
MP Martinez Jan 2018
in those unsaid lines
buried the sinful desires
of I love yous and goodbyes
