#brokenhearts
What once felt perfect, was just perfect in its time. That time has passed and life went on— Like the Poppy that you love‐ The flower bloomed beautiful- Showcasing its ***** seeds- What once was in full bloom, opened up flat. Before withering away, leaving behind decay— Like a short lived perennial- Whose flower has faded- The seeds have been harvested- Where once lived romantic love, gave way to indifference. Departing devastation in its wake— Like the flower of the dead- Whose opioid has destroyed- Barely leaving room for life- Where once there was a life, there is now a new life. Leaves a symbol of remembrance— Like the soldier that has died- The red poppy remembers- Its seeds resurrect new love-

Poppy's Song
Hey! The voice still echoes The voice of a being who evaporate, A voice that evaporated into a future I can no longer share. The scars aren't healed, but the memories? Etched into my heart like a local tribal marks. Do I miss her ? No! The game is over A game that ended before we started, Yet this voice won't free me from the ******* Maybe my heart still feels the sparkle to your gaslights. I tore the book of you and I, but I still feel ecstatic when our memories pops up. I was never a follower, I was lover. A reckless one!!

Etched pain!
In today's world hypocrisy is so extraordinary, Two-faces are the norm of today's world. Keep breaking hearts and apologize in the end, Keep degrading someone and apologize in the end. Keep back-biting and apologize in the end, Keep your charming persona up, Like no one can see how shallow they are inside. Keep your happiness up after ruining someone's life, Keep your respect up after disrespecting a soul. Do not worry a day will come for you too, Be ready to taste your own medicine.

Empty Apologies and Broken Hearts
History is prophecy the end is how it starts we're gonna fall in love you see then leave with half a heart but you can only hit a bullseye if you throw a dart so take a chance, come with me and sniff glue up the park His story is her's you see Venus bound to Mars born into one world are we those sharpened words were ours we landed in the gutter after aiming for the stars maybe we should have stuck to sniffing glue in cars We argued at the alter couldnt say "I do" too much like an admission you me as I blamed you we broke the celebration we broke the family do we even broke the vicar who turned to sniffing glue So I hear your heart is broken mine is broken too Yes it f@#king rotten alas...I got some glue you can take a big sniff & I can take one two go to that park, fix our hearts and be the kids we knew

I crave you I want you I need you You made me love you You made me care for you You made me submit to you You claimed  my body You claimed my mind You claimed my heart And now where are you? I’m yours without a collar I’m yours without you I crave you I want you I need you

Hunger
Why the **** did I loved you so hard That it became hard to forget you? Why the hell, we met on that day And I gave my heart away when I shouldn't have let you? Why on Earth is it like this The more you love and care for one The more they choose to torture you and become of someone's The ******* ******* tears of mine Stop spreading He isn't worth it, my dear Stop caring. " Someone who will truly love you Will always find his way to you" They said Why the **** did I found the wrong one Why the hell did I break my own heart? He simply walked off, as if nothing happened I wonder if he could do the same to someone he truly loved? So, I told myself Darling, Know your worth Pen down your thoughts Let the anxiety release He is never coming back and it's okay It's okay to be alone, rather than begging someone "Please"

Thought Process
A friend once told a girl I liked that I was obsessed with death and I yelled and screamed as I denied it but it must have too much for her as she walked away and never talked to me again that night I punched the wall till my hand bled it was that or the knife that’s a lie I never cut myself why would I write that? I was probably looking for attention that’s what they say isn’t it it’s only for attention not because I don’t know how to feel or how to deal with my emotions not because I can’t talk to my friends I’ll never say how much it hurts and so they’ll never know Sometimes they do know though and they ask and I lie Saying everything is fine when I just wait for them to go so I can cry but I’m just looking for attention so what do I know now I wonder if my friend was right the day he told a girl I liked that I was obsessed with death truth be told the thought of death does bring me comfort Not suicide gods no but the idea of an eternal sleep free of anxiety or emotions to trouble me does seem quite tempting and now I write poems about my emotions trying to put into words what I don’t understand and hoping someone relates truth is I never liked that girl all that much and my heart is dead but not quite and life is grand I mean horrible and   love is everything but also a lie and this poem is like my mind: a chaotic cacophony of thoughts and feelings all mixed into one.

The Unbroken Monologue
"Follow your heart, " they say But don't they know, it's too broken to take the lead? How does one follow scattered, shattered pieces, they're all over the place, so where exactly should she follow..

Follow your heart
If I cry baby would it make you stay? My Tears and I We’re pieces of the game you play. Baby why , why does it have to be this way? My Tears and I Are pieces of the game you play. If I gave you my heart It wouldn’t be enough . The things ... The things you make your trophy’s of . broken... Broken hearts and long lost loves. Decorations on the walls that you put up. Baby if I call your name will you come to me? If I let desire get the best of me? Can I , hold you tight Until there’s ecstasy? Baby if I call you will you Come to me? And If I ...gave you my heart it wouldn’t be enough. The things ... The things you make your trophy’s of broken ... broken hearts and long lost loves. Decorations on the walls that you put up. Baby what If I Scream Out for you? I had a bad night waking up without you And you’re not here So I fear I have to face the truth You were never here My Love and I have no proof And If I ...gave you my heart it wouldn’t be enough. The things ... The things you make your trophy’s of broken... Broken hearts and long lost loves Decorations on the walls that you put up.

My Tears & I
I would tell you that it was a ghost cage your wings fluttered against. There is no ruse darling, no intent to capture you, my dear. There again, when your restlessness disrupted our peace. In an unintended moment, I assumed you were trying to leave me. When harsh words ensued, amidst strategic insults, into your wounds I dug my fingers in deeper as my own shield. Refusing to relent, I pressed until your lips ushered the words I thought I needed to hear. But before you tell me to go, before I turn to leave. Understand my fragility. Know this resolve was not easy.   Believe that I loved deeply, shared secrets untold. Brought you close to my heart , imprinted you unto my soul. In prospect that fate might never lead you back to me. In a world that denies most their happy ever after endings. My love. I knew I had to let you go. I had to set you free.

Clipped Wings
You should've taught me how to LET GO , I stood dumb frozen without a clue, on how to tackle your practical overlook . You kept explaining that we weren't meant to be . How could i grasp ,without bursting into tears. You felt fine after you emptied your heart, you played my emotions and conveniently left . And i stayed back not knowing how to move ahead . You should've taught me how to LET GO , beforehand .

Falling
'Place me to your skin,' Robert says As I continue to contemplate. 'I'll give you the satisfaction And the pleasure, That he failed to give.' My dear conscience begs me not to While I asked her when I needed her, what did she do? My heart silently weeps, Tells me I will regret it. Oh ****** hell, what of it? It's a little sting, For an eternity of peace. The devil of a mind that I have congratulates me. Says that people like me deserve it, People who are not good enough. I am a disgrace honestly, it continues Because if I can't be good enough for the people I love who choose to leave, I'm not good enough for anybody at all, Not even for my own ******* self. I can't even prove to myself, That further gives proof that I'm not good enough. Gives validation That I'm a waste of space, a failure And an annoying piece of trash. But I have to hide it though, To keep what's remaining So they don't slip away, you know. I don't have the courage to end it all, sadly, Til then, Robert will be my hidden company.

We were both broken Damaged And afraid to love again But we were a perfect fit A perfect match To make our hearts whole again But we forced ourselves too soon Colliding our hearts together too fast That it shattered into pieces Instead of taking it slow We only broke it further

Fragile Hearts
We met over video chat. I thought you were pretty neat. But then you stole my heart And now it doesnt beat. How dare you, with those ocean eyes Hold my hand and take away my light You made me feel so special And now its always night. I guess I'll be alone for ever. Its what was destined. You thought you were clever I feel shunned.

Alone
We thought we kept our secrets well, so on the past we dwelled exchanging stories, memories and realities. Our broken currency. We wished we could drown these pasts is the ever-present sound of our background. But they never left us. So when you spoke, my heart broke. I denied it, tried to hide it, tried to confine my mind leave these feelings undefined. But you gave me a apart of your heart which was broken into shards and yes, it was sharp. But from that night, no shattered hearts would ever tear us apart.

When you showed me you
There was a time when i believed in falling for falling is the first step to trust and trust, i have lacked for the last few years because sheded tears caused my steel heart to rust for a while i was convinced there was a spark hidden under heaps of high expectations and hope past the overthinking, right next to quaint smiles and glances, and hidden under the wish that we’d finally elope but love isn’t built with empty promises nor is it molded with the lovley, “if only” because when you fall in love with the idea of someone falling turns to broken, the broken can’t mend, and your back to being desperate and lonely i wish being loved wasn’t so difficult but if it was easier no one would dare to fall because we’d rather be shattered from falling with faith than stay safe with nothing at all

Falling
Ahem. There truly is no excuse for me. (sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCIX) O for the silver foil winged cupids, frail With arrows on the string, and shooting thence At blood-red hearts! Erst wont to trick out hence My pages thus, I miss them now! In pale Excuse, where is the box of hearts t'avail Our foolish dreams of romance? Ah, fr'intents How I wish to lay candy hearts out, whence I'll trade their speeches with you like's sweet bail. These whitish racks which put the light as twere Out til day is a fragile thing--I do Not mind their surly cast. No choclate to Assuage fond, erm, desires, no. I in poor 'Scuse yearn for childish candies wont to stir My heart with dreams crashed every year now too. 14Feb19a

Kiss Me: I Feel So Childish Now
I meet a star on earth And we met like constellations Can't describe his worth It's hard to explain like mathematical equations No one can be measure 'Cos he's like a galaxies' most precious I love you all through eternity To have infinity To prove everlasting In the end, I am just a dust and feel nothing 'Cos I fall too fast That's why I crashed that harsh Like a shooting stars In a galaxy of broken hearts

I have never seen a real autumn But I imagine the leaves Falling one by one All crisply brown, not green Just like my hopes and dreams Even if I try, and tried I did To pick them all up again But more would fall slowly, but surely, down And all my efforts were in vain As I hold your hand, I can’t help but think This hand had held another with the same tenderness and care Which I thought only we share As I kiss your lips, I can’t help but think Had those lips kissed another with the same passion and need Which I thought only I could fulfilled As I tried to hold you Close to me, the way I used to I can’t help but think Someone else had held you the way I do Two hearts beating as one When that heart should have only been mine So I pulled away when all I ever wanted again was to be close to you so you could relief my pain Now I have nothing to hold on to except the pillow by my side and the broken dreams and the lost hopes And so it seems Autumn is gone Winter has come I am in a dark, cold place Living in an empty space

Seasons change
when i gaze into your eyes, i feel myself drowning a little, a little more than i should. i'm slowly slipping away. when your presence is near, my heart flutters in your madness, i feel your effects. like alcohol in my system. when you speak my name, i feel my body freeze and my mind, replaying your sweet melody on repeat. like a broken record. when you're not near, i begin to crave your more than ever. perhaps it's the after effect. or the withdrawal of you. i need you. but when you whisper it so softly, the fact that you love someone, someone else, i can't help it. i can't help my miserable feelings. i can hear my heart crack.

heart crack
truth is i didn't want to accept it you told me i was the love of your life you planned a future with me you told me you were never going to leave me but i guess it got to be too much my constant worrisome behavior my constant need to help you and protect you my hovering when you're upset my parent-like actions my stubbornness the alluring fact that i loved you so ******* much but you broke my heart you knew you could hurt me you knew you could tear my world apart piece by piece but somehow that didn't stop you i don't hate you, as a matter of fact i don't think i could ever hate you but i refuse to allow myself to love you like i once did reality is, we wasted 2 years on a love that wasn't meant to be and that's ok we're both one heartbreak closer to our soulmates now
