#nighttimethoughts - Hello Poetry

Before the sun returns bask in a deluded state tell myself a thousand lies about past mistakes, what's at stake? Before the sun returns I'll doomscroll 'til my eyes bleed satiate my soul's greed my better self he does pleed. Before the sun returns ambitions war with self image anxiety disguised as sobriety so I'm rendered timid. Before the sun returns suburbs will be painted through silver-lit streets and wishes for new silver spoons. Before the sun returns I'll crane my neck to the brink Stare into the sky where stars wink Boeings blink. Before the sun returns I'll be submerged in serenity find contentment in my existence but only temporarily..

Before the sun returns

Before the sun returns bask in a deluded state tell myself a thousand lies about past mistakes, what's at stake? Before the sun returns I'll doomscroll 'til my eyes bleed satiate my soul's greed my better self he does pleed. Before the sun returns ambitions war with self image anxiety disguised as sobriety so I'm rendered timid. Before the sun returns suburbs will be painted through silver-lit streets and wishes for new silver spoons. Before the sun returns I'll crane my neck to the brink Stare into the sky where stars wink Boeings blink. Before the sun returns I'll be submerged in serenity find contentment in my existence but only temporarily..

I find peace in darkness... I crave for my alone time... I wait to get drenched in rain... I like chopping onions... I love taking shower... I prefer nights over mornings... Because these small moments allow me to let out my concerns, weep in peace and let my tears flow without others knowing and no need to give explainations to my tears.

Random Peace

I find peace in darkness... I crave for my alone time... I wait to get drenched in rain... I like chopping onions... I love taking shower... I prefer nights over mornings...

For all my efforts Often I still find myself Stuck in the between Even if I lived For eons in all the realms I'd still stand right here

The In Between

For all my efforts Often I still find myself Stuck in the between Even if I lived For eons in all the realms I'd still stand right here

I sit and wait, awake Close my eyes to no avail Night loves company

I sit and wait, awake Close my eyes to no avail Night loves company

As I lay me down to sleep in the quiet of the night I loose these tears I'm meant to keep into a pillow, soft and white As I lay me down to bed in satin sheets of yellow gold thoughts of you will fill my head and all the love we couldn't hold As I lay me down to rest wishing you were by my side I think on how we did our best but in the end were still denied As I lay me down to dream just as the darkness settles in I pray our love will be redeemed that we can find what might have been

As I Lay Me Down

As I lay me down to sleep in the quiet of the night I loose these tears I'm meant to keep into a pillow, soft and white As I lay me down to bed in satin sheets of yellow gold thoughts of you will fill my head and all the love we couldn't hold As I lay me down to rest wishing you were by my side I think on how we did our best but in the end were still denied As I lay me down to dream just as the darkness settles in I pray our love will be redeemed that we can find what might have been

Some people find happiness by giving away their own. They make others happy and expect to be given happiness in return. It's not a bad thing, it is the most beautiful gesture someone can do. To know that you are someone who has been given someone else's happiness to hold onto forever and cherish with all your heart, is the best feeling in the world. But do not forget about the one who gave you their happiness. They are a little more hollow and they don't know how to fill it on their own.

sometimes, in highly inappropriate moments, like when i am at church or driving or watching a movie with my sisters, your hands ghost over me and my blood turns to fire again. i can feel the little circles rubbed on my arm with a surprising tenderness, i can feel legs twisted up with mine, i can feel soft lips against my neck and a voracious appetite at my jawline. goosebumps spread up my body as my toes curl and my face flushes, and i remember all too well.
