#teenlove
Inside the booth,
Surrounded by glass,
But sound-proof
And the long silences,
The pauses between words
Of a quiet conversation
With Joan.
Privacy was the order,
So out of the house with a dime,
And down to the corner Bell booth.
What thoughts race during the pause.
Is this it?
Someone passed by and looked in,
As though she knew my troubles.
Those pauses. That silence.
Over what?
Did someone catch my eye.
My throat went dry, my pulse sped, my body hardened.
But I saw in that moment our make-up kiss,
Shared in silence.

I see you,
You see me,
We smile.
You sit down,
And I can’t stop smiling.
I catch myself in it—
That smile.
I can’t… not again.
Please, I beg the stars.
Please—
not like before.
I beg, and I beg,
But the smile doesn’t fade.
The stars don’t listen.
I beg the moon instead.
I feel the heat in my cheeks
when you look over.
The moon doesn’t listen.
I can’t do this again.
Not like I did with her.
I can’t watch it change,
can’t break another friendship.
I won’t sit here for years
pretending I don’t feel it.
And still—
I long for you.
The stars know.
The moon knows.
They just won’t help me.
So what do I do…
when the smile won’t leave?

The moment a poet falls in love
Is the moment you will never die
For your words are sealed in ink
The moment an artist falls in love
Its the moment you are encapsulated
In a pile of sketchbooks and graphite
The moment I fall in love
Is the moment you are already dead
The moment I prepare to leave you
The moment I start to mourn you

I’ve walked through nights that never end,
where shadows felt like my only friend.
But then you came and lit the way,
turning my dark to silver-gray.
You saw the parts I tried to hide,
the hurt I kept so deep inside.
Yet you looked through it, clear as glass,
and loved me—not my shiny mask.
You hold my heart like it’s something rare,
with gentle hands and steady care.
You don’t judge the scars I’ve earned,
you trace them soft, like lessons learned.
Your laugh—it cuts right through my pain,
like sunshine breaking after rain.
And when I fall or start to cry,
you pull me close and don’t ask why.
It’s crazy how you make me feel,
like every broken thing can heal.
You see my soul, both lost and free—
and still, you choose to love all of me.

i swore i was steady,
that i’d built walls high enough
to quiet the wanting.
i told myself
i could learn to let go.
but last night,
you spoke,
and every word
was gravity.
suddenly,
i wasn’t standing still anymore.
i was tumbling—
the way i did at the start,
when even the sound of your name
could set my pulse off-beat.
you laughed,
and it lit me up
like the first time
i realized i could never unsee you.
and here i am,
caught in your orbit,
dizzy with the sweetness
of rediscovery.
i don’t know if you know it,
but i’m falling,
again.

Its gonna be some time before you get your license,
But by then would you have forgotten,
The promise you made to me?
Asked me whether I had ever ridden a bike,
Which to no surprise i replied a plain no,
You knew I hadn't and you knew i knew you knew that too,
So nonchalant, you just spat out,
Well first thing after I get my licence,
Imma get a bike and I'll take you on a ride,
That's the moment I realize,
stomach is really a place where you'll find butterflies,
I'll grow old, you'll do too,
Maybe you'll forget,
But I'll never do,
The forgotten promise that'll never come true.

Can I give you a pet name,
If so can I call you mine?
Oh wait. I forgot You hate it.
You only hold me when no ones looking.
I bet you could hear my heart race,
When your fingers and mine, they interlace,
And then you smile at me,
God stop, you can make me forget own name.
You want me.
But i want you too
Maybe it's time I finally end this cuz..
If you are not mine how can I be yours?

I know you like sun kissed photos,
Well you are one in real life,
You say you look like chocolate ice cream,
But I think you shine like gold so bright,
And I'm not even lying,
Its been two years since I realized,
That glitter sparkles much better when it's on you,
And it's been two years since I realized,
That you are the pretties girl I met in my life.

It is not who she is that is my loss,
But who she was that I miss,
The memories of the same person I yearn for,
No longer a part of the person stuck in my head,
Her hair and hands they smelled so good,
She reminds me of sun light reflected by gold,
Butterflies, honey and a future that'll never come true.

she’s there,
hands trembling on the screen,
heart heavier with each second.
no reply, no sign, no sound...
just the weight of waiting,
the ache of being unseen
by the one she’s already given
so much of herself to.

i read your message
and then i looked away
because the truth is,
i don’t know what to do with it.
it’s easier to stay silent
than to admit i’m tangled
in my own mess
and maybe i’m scared
to break what we have
by saying too much, or, not enough.

i typed words i wanted you to hear
but my phone stayed quiet
like the space between us
is louder than anything i can say.
i’m here, raw and waiting
but maybe you don’t see me
or maybe you don’t want to.
and that thought feels like a knife
twisting slowly
in the middle of my chest.

if hiccups mean
you’re being missed,
you must be out there
with water up your nose
and upside-down,
holding your breath,
wondering why it won’t stop.
it’s me.
my fault.
i miss you too much
and too often..
and i don’t plan on stopping.
..
you must be
hiccuping
to death by now.
i miss you
like it’s my job
like it’s rent due
like missing you
might make you show up.
it won’t.
but maybe
you’ll feel it.
just once

summer cling to the anniversary death camp,
poolside conversations sits in light,
strife your fingers in mine, marry in Naboo,
little Gothic cherubs sky diving in lies,
two limbs grasping in intimate rocket dive,
uh-uh, I scream to be soaked in your brown eyes,
Shrimpy love, grey nirvana,
I see no screeching reprise to our tedious fights,
mind over matter darling,
head collision to **** a dear without headlights.
fall back for another night,
rest your head on my sunken shoulder,
let the fault lines collapse,
the sun burn itself to darkness,
this hour, infinite to budge us.

the words "i love you" rolled off my tongue
we had only been together for 2 months when i said it
he was shocked and so was i
as the months had passed we got closer and closer
we said "i love you" so many times and still do
but instead of him or i saying "i love you too"
we just say "i love you"
the word "too" means in addition or also
i don't love him in addition to him loving me
he doesn't love me in addition to me loving him
we love each other for who we are
not because of our bodies or money
not because he's attractive or he thinks i'm attractive too
we love each other for who we are
we are teen lovers
we want to get married to each other
have our own children together
grow old together
die together
that is our love.

We never really knew each other.
Sure, we texted nonstop.
You stared at me in the halls.
But missed chances and glances were all we had.
We never had a real conversation.
(Maybe things would have been different if we did.)
All my memories of you
consist of my face lit by a bright screen,
sitting in the darkness of my bedroom,
wishing for you—desperately—at 11:11.

it's so late out there
when I am sitting on the roof
sky cries over my head
and this rain makes me feel like a fool.
I wish that you were real
we'd run all night long
and this tear of sky
would be happy tears of seeing us together.
but you live in my dreams
this black rose that I still keep
was given in a moment
that felt so real even it was a trick.
It's a night out there
this night seems it lasts forever
where are you, where?
when I am looking for you
this moon is touching my tears
that came from my sadness
every day I get more fear
that changes in phobias and leaves me full of loneliness.
I will wait for you forever if I have to
I will hit this loneliness and all my fears
my dreams will come true one day
and this rain will be not sad but happy tears.

I can see you're broken too
Who did it, why to you
Just don't say my name
I still feel the flame, i do
Don't wanna play the game
But do i really have a choice
Nobody hear my voice
But you, you could understand
You could definetly give me a hand
Let's get up, together
And have each others back forever
With you on my side i swear
For you I'll be always there

He was a
Distraction
Will only
Get in the way
So why do I miss him?
He will ruin
My dreams
Put a block
In the road to
Success
So why am I craving his caresses?
He is far
Too needy
And doesnt
Care for you
So why am I willing to take a bullet for him?
You had to
do it
He was becoming
Too real
So why do I regret it?
He has no
Plans
No ambitions
So why am I completely infatuated by him?
He is toxic
And he promises
A world full of
Hurt
So why do I want to accept his offer?
I pushed him away and now I hate myself for it

i dream about your lips...
...they look nice
pleasantly pink and supple
delectable even
i’m sure they’ll feel so wonderful
placed delicately upon mine
i indulge in the thought of your touch
(warm and safe)
curled up at your side
breathing you in
your scent unknown to me
something i’m eager to decipher
once i am released from this cage
i promise to devour you
every inch of your body
no secrets between our skin
and if you so choose
...no clothes either...
just pure ecstasy
produced by the entanglement
of unveiled bodies
and teen angst
i fantasise about love
and how we might make it
time and time again
beside the purest of touch
(a soft embrace)
never forgetting it began with a song
and grew with isolation
cultivating longing
strengthening our bond...
...good enough...
...until the day i can hold your hand

I dare not tell you the truth, that I'm still searching for my affection towards you.....
perhaps I still believe in the myth, the fact that love is always there.
we're in the lost and found, but you always manage to drown me with your love, I no longer want to be a slave to you affections,
days have passed and we're still together, as you slowly drift to the back of my mind, day by day.
is there such a thing as endless love?
I no longer want to prove such a theory, there is no need for us to endure this much longer,
let us just say goodbye and break apart,
we'll keep the good things, and throw the bad things,
we'll remember the good moments and the bad memories for that's how we understand each other.
I dare not tell you the truth that the further we apart the less our heart bleeds
'No bleeding hearts'

i can openly say that i'm deeply terrified
because i know
deep down
that you are the one i want to spend my forever with
and i've never said that before about anyone
when i think about who i want my kids to call their parents i want it to be us
every night i fall asleep waiting for the day where i can fall asleep next to you
when i say that i want to fall asleep to your laugh for the rest of my life
that's the truest statement i could ever speak to you
i know this is the scariest thing because we are so young
we have so much time and future left in our lives
but i know that i want you by my side for all of it
knowing you want me by yours is the biggest comfort i've ever experienced
here's to our forever ***

When I'm near my heart smiles
She lightens my mood
Controls my world
That's why I love her.
She's phenomenal
My one true love
I can't do without her
I gave her the keys to my heart
And she gave me hers.
Can I leave?
No, no, I can't
She owns me,
I own her.
