#werent - Hello Poetry

In the end I won our game, Of who loves who more. One of us still thinks about the other, How leaving might've been the biggest mistake he'll ever make, But taking it all back when he remembers all the ways you cut him down. Even that brownie recipe, You'd do anything to keep me attached to you. Anything to keep me with you, Even if it was twisted, It was nice to need each other. Though that won't ever happen again, Now that the other has another. It's eating me from inside out, You saying you were here for me, If I needed anything. Turning right around, All you wanted to talk about was how much better he is for you. In the end I should've known, On my ankle your sprout still grows, Some sick parasite, Digging into me, This flower twisting up my leg, One lasting memory of you, Wants me to be, The new black tulip.

The New Black Tulip

In the end I won our game, Of who loves who more. One of us still thinks about the other, How leaving might've been the biggest mistake he'll ever make, But taking it all back when he remembers all the ways you cut him down. Even that brownie recipe, You'd do anything to keep me attached to you. Anything to keep me with you, Even if it was twisted, It was nice to need each other. Though that won't ever happen again, Now that the other has another. It's eating me from inside out, You saying you were here for me, If I needed anything. Turning right around, All you wanted to talk about was how much better he is for you. In the end I should've known, On my ankle your sprout still grows, Some sick parasite, Digging into me, This flower twisting up my leg, One lasting memory of you, Wants me to be, The new black tulip.

i thought you were only a chapter, in the book of my life, realized that at your last goodbye, without knowing, you will always be the beginning of every page, and ending of my every story, you will be behind every door, that i'll try to open, try to close, you will be thread sewing my book, the glue sticking my book pages together, i thought your part in my life was over, you'll go your way, i'll be on mine, how insane was i, not having even a single notion, that on every path of my life, i'll have your silhouette, tracing me like a nightmare, accompanying me, trailing me away from light......

The fights we had were quite abnormal They were quiet And quite home

If I weren’t afraid, I would scream your name And tell you the truth, like I’ve never done If I weren’t afraid, I’d kiss you right now Shame and regret, no, I would feel none If I weren’t afraid, I’d smile like I knew What I was doing, but I really don’t I would tell you I loved the colour of your eyes I stopped myself before, but this time I won’t If I weren’t afraid, I’d pull you in close To whisper those three precious words in your ear I wouldn’t hesitate, not even for a second Cause I would no longer have anything to fear If I weren’t afraid, I’d tell you right now This poem was for you, the light of my soul But if you weren’t afraid, you would tell me too All the things that you’ve always been able to control It could be anything, if you love me or hate me If you want me to stay away, then just tell me that Or it could be something small, that’d be okay too It’s better than silence and pretentious little chats All the things that I’d do if I weren’t afraid Why am I afraid? What do we have to lose? I just hope that one day I could maybe be brave Enough to at least whisper you the truth

I wrote a poem for my biography to a special person about Adam, I thought you would like to read it. Blue Heart You were 18, so many years in front of you. It felt like a dark eternity, you didn’t want to go. I saw it in your sunken eyes. The vacant stare and sad dark eyes. I saw when you were sitting around the table prom night. So much going around but you were too calm too collected. too inside your mind for us. I knew that blank expression from experience All too well. You screamed for help silent and loud I reached for your hand but you f e l l You were poised and calm Broken but full of love. All I wanted to do was help you. you were standing still when the world went on and it did go on, it did, without you. When you were standing there at the edge I wondered about you, all in my head. We were short lived, a friendship that was fast. You came, changed me, then you left. it came and went in a flash. I knew when no one else could guess. you put it all on me, didn’t you. but I was not cross with you. Heartbroken, yes scared, yes alone, yes mad, no Your color was blue Blue heart, blue veins Blue is the color of our planet from far far away we wore it proud it was all for you, a blue solemn silence. and the world spun fast and all the people hurried fast, real fast and no one ever smiled. You weren’t all there, in that head of yours. dark and empty you were sad but you lived like you would die tomorrow tomorrow came too soon and it was up to you. it was always up to you. Meeting you was bitter you put me through stress, anxiety and heartache you put me through shame and shock All I wanted was you by my side, and you there was not. Meeting you was sweet you gave me smiles and laughs, good music and thoughts you gave me a feeling of friendship and care. All I wanted was you by my side, but you were not there. You were poised and calm, you rubbed off on me. I was hyped and excited you called me “ADHD” You drove an old red beater with water bottles everywhere, with **** in the glove compartment. but you didn’t care. Your drove with sunglasses and the FM radio loud. You drove in silence, thinking no doubt. You loved the sun but you would hike for the shade when we were together you took me away. I didn’t think, I didn’t have nerves. We talked about the world We talked about life You had a life you thought you didn’t deserve. Whoever planted that seed had some **** nerve you wrote like me but I wrote for myself you wrote for us when there’d be nothing else. I knew when no one else could guess. you put it all on me, didn’t you. but I was not mad. Heartbroken, yes scared, yes alone, yes mad, no When you were gone I read and I read i wanted to know exactly when you felt what you felt. You called me your jav friend you called me your angel You are up there watching over me I yelled and screamed I couldn’t breathe. I shut them out, I cursed at you. I hated you I cried for you I only see you in my head Dreaming once and a while of your smile, of your eyes but they are never dark they are never sad they are never empty The vacant stare is not there. your hair is a giant mess and I freeze that moment right there. You said you were alone you said it was a secret you asked me about my darkest and you told me all your secrets I have never been in that much peace knowing I kept you there It felt like moments when it was hours and you were gone too **** soon. tomorrow came too fast and it was up to you. it was always up to you. Now I wear a band on my wrist and pray for your peace that is all I have left, but you mean so much to me. I hope you are happy, I hope your journey has ended and you found what you wanted My heart was once broken but soon if all this is true it will be mended.

I chose this path No, no one else did just me No one else did So why do I want to blame it on them I told myself I wouldn't cry I told myself I shouldn't lie I told myself these but, I do this anyway I like to break the boundaries Skipping stones across a forbidden lake But I wouldn't listen to myself when I said stop I grasped my memories; nothing else then I stormed out that door I want you to believe it was your fault I wanted you to hate yourself for it To come to me before I left this door or.... at least to regret it all But, I couldn't even be honest with myself until it was over. I wanted so bad To have some way of knowing you weren't just going to forget forget about me But I lied to myself we were never a "we" It took me forever to realize You didn't even care much less remember me So I take my memories, my blames, tears,and lies and will disappear before your very eyes.

I Chose This Path

I chose this path No, no one else did just me No one else did So why do I want to blame it on them I told myself I wouldn't cry I told myself I shouldn't lie I told myself these but, I do this anyway I like to break the boundaries Skipping stones across a forbidden lake But I wouldn't listen to myself when I said stop I grasped my memories; nothing else then I stormed out that door I want you to believe it was your fault I wanted you to hate yourself for it To come to me before I left this door or.... at least to regret it all But, I couldn't even be honest with myself until it was over. I wanted so bad To have some way of knowing you weren't just going to forget forget about me But I lied to myself we were never a "we" It took me forever to realize You didn't even care much less remember me So I take my memories, my blames, tears,and lies and will disappear before your very eyes.
