Best years
thyreez-thy Dec 2020
High school, 5 years
Your "best years" your best tears
Find out all your quirks and traits
Become the things you solemny hate


Start horrible habits, join a club
Your mother isn't proud, niether is the man above
Be classed to a certain group
Learn things like English and angles acute

Meet people you'll love, that eventually leave
Your first(or one of many) love that starts to deceive
Use studies as an exuse to enjoy solitude
Make your bad days an excuse to have a terrible attitude

The last days Will come, surprisingly missed
Even some of the jerks, how you always got ******
A Reunion to see your "best" ex-friends
As fast as it began, it takes longer to end
High school days

Beyond Golden Acres
thyreez-thy Jan 8
I heard from you again, in a random gaming stream
Others saw some internet figure, I saw an old dream
A friend made way back when, just shy from being 15
Everybody sees this tiny bean, when some saw it sprout
How I gleamed when I wondered in my heart where you've been

You've gone by many names, since last I've known of you
Never had an opportunity alone to catch up on 14 to 20
Only ever glimpses, mishaps, happy birthdays and by chances
Happenstance, lucky days, barely any words where the past had plenty

I've known you a quarter of a year, yet 7 was in memory
I wonder how destiny feels, being a part of this story
Her birth solidified me as her never to know god uncle
Will she ever get to complete the puzzle?

I hope one day Justice fines redemption
That he grows to be strong and Tenacious
That blue eyes shine on a dark world
That your destiny is never twirled

And Lastly, I hope you stay a bright star
To others wherever you are
Beyond the Golden Acres on your Scalp
That love and kindness always helps

To you, Raine
Through success and pain
A poem I wrote on a friend I met online in 2018.  Had a run in on a Game stream and they haven't changed one bit.

Here with me
thyreez-thy Feb 27
Had you asked 2 young adults what marriage was
They'd laugh, and assume its some forever where doubt would perish
Thus giving way to birth, legacy and forever
In the sky where they can be together

But what if you gave them each a glimpse to each others future
Where they couldn't tell the other what they saw, make it torture
Where they dance knowing where it ends
Not for themselves, but where the other bends

What if here with me was an expression
Where no sea or plane, but 3 hours
Divides this 2 individuals , test their dedication
Where they have no power

A parley, meeting, a chance at reconciling
But the other party is fighting to defend
Errors they surely know they have
Forcing the other back to their cave

This poem has no melody, yet this story was filled with it
taking 4 years as one would bring material, the other builds
Those 3 hours away, meant nothing when points met
The author awestruck, without a tongue to confess
The other so excited, yet weary not to make a mess
Of a story yet to be told, yet already in the making

A record of once these soulmates had seen the other
Saying to each other excuses of sister and brother
Can one use cement, to fix cracks in a glass house?
Where everyone could see brother playing cat and mouse?
Would a sibling learn to care so much they'd die for the other?
Would a lover think the friend zoning wasn't worth the bother?

Somewhere out there they always came to know
eventually love gave a massive blow
Valentine's day suddenly had meaning, promised hugs and meetings become binding contracts
For when these siblings would eventually come to make contact
Funny how the end of the tale wasn't left in tact

Long distance is a blunder, but like the song it can be great
To know another through that connection of imagination and past tense
Testing fate yet always coming to see
That you never truly came to need me
It was I, who wanted you to be
you.
To be here, with me.
Based on the d4vd song and a edit I made of her. Looking back at it I never appreciated how the little things added up. I'd be lying if I said that it's any easier moving on as an adult but I'm glad it was her, who showed me my wrongs and where to start. I wish she found her own direction to peace.

that loving world...gone
thyreez-thy Jan 2019
they say love is what we need
just to keep us up to speed
yet its something that leaves so fast
how does anyone make it last

look at the past,hoping it was like that
nowadays we just go and crawl onto a mat
saying you don't know how your "forever" is gone
so surprised it didn't last that long
no use in believing that love is fair
it leaves your heart racing like a hare
and when it ends,you have no power
it leaves you bitter,oh so sour
best to just stay away
you don't wanna be hurt in another way
thyreez-thy Jan 8
I stare at the ceiling thinking that I'm set
barely months out of college and already in regret
To gain every academic record but lose contact with you
Has turned my solid goals askew

Creating songs in my head the world will never hear
Stumbling in the literal dark, choking on my tears
Quoting anime and jumping to music
But this pretense makes me sick

It's 00:06, yet I barely consider time an enemy
I'm not sad because my mind was fried down to its anatomy
So deep in electronical worlds I barely close my eyes
As I open my curtains to see the pink sky

A new day where I wake up late, mine begins at midday
If you could see me right now, what would you say?
Would you be ashamed to even look my way?
Or would you hug me, and tell me its okay?

I can't be sad, when YouTube keeps me constant
I can thank my feed to keep me despondent
So focused on junk, time sunk and I feel drunk
My head wheezes, I listen to Weezer and  funk

So focused on what I lost, I barely see the world deteriorate
I cant find it in me anymore to hate
I'm happier because I'm less responsible
No longer a loving soul mate so I can remain dull

Now the unemployed statistic, I'm lucky to play games
Even though 5 minutes in I remember your name
And even at times like this, when my eyes swell and I begin to cry
I wipe my tears, smile and say Sabishikunai
A poem I got from hearing the melody and seeing the name of the great Japaneese artist Ayano Kaneko of the same name. This is my personal representation of it.

Naively admired
thyreez-thy Oct 2023
Oh how beautiful you've gotten, you're aging like wine
Just how long ago was it when your beauty couldn't be defined?
How your brown eyes match you're wavy hair
How you send me shivers with that direct stare

How could a person exist who makes me want to hold them tight
To be a better man and to only do to them right
Somebody I adore, cherish and would defend in a fight
Somebody I see as the rarest gem, glistening like sunlight

How your smile is bright and reminds me of greater days
When you would still call me and always know what to say
When we'd spend nights and days reminiscing on memories yet to be made
Too soon was it when we snapped back to reality and the ugliest price was paid

How I am longing, to feel your hand on mine
How I am yearning to smell your cooking and hear your chimes
Your singing voice enthralls me, so deep yet so soothing
When you said that you loved me it sent me soaring

Alas. It's naïve to long for that long passed
A love a year too old, turned into remnant, to ash
Odd reminders follow me, as I take old poetry out from the trash
I pray for your safest returns, for a good live and to never have it Harsh

Would your kiss melt me or send me straight to Grace?
How could I want this badly to hold somebody's face
How would our kids have looked had we ever made it farther than the starting line?
Would your heart still be burning if we weren't divided by contour lines?
A poem I wrote after finding all of these old pieces, Trying to get back into writing again.
thyreez-thy Feb 2019
life use to be so kind
now there's no hope left to find
funny how dumb we were back then
only to grow p and have to pretend
happiness us to be a easy thing
now its as expensive as gold and bling
we try so hard to act like we're happy
but all we know is we feel sappy
don't know why i can't find peace
now i'm stuck on a mental lease
the things we did in the past
the hopes we had that it would last
trying so hard to just live "fine"
cause in this world there is no yours and mine
wishing for things to be divine
your hopes right on a thin line

no need to pretend
your close to reaching the end
the world around you turns so dark
your losing your spark
so deaf, not hearing the dogs bark
or the chirping of a lark
the world disappears for a second and you wonder why
is it your your eyes and mind showing you lies
you waking up only to see the day is done
now you can go home and have some "fun"
which is basically doing nothing and sleeping around
although this sounds profound
it's a daily schedule, it wont change
no need to bother and engage
it'll all be over pretty soon
just look with high hopes at the moon
although dreams don't always seem to last
it's a painful blast
just hold on till it's over
till you feel emotionally sober
wishing you still had imaginary friends
now the pain never seems to end
it's all just a bitter dream
you'll wake up and see a gentle stream
although for some it seems incomplete
so it's fair to admit defeat
just another lovely day with the endless sadness

Broken goodbyes
thyreez-thy Dec 2020
In the end, its just as you wanted
To get rid of that silly nuisance that you hated
You'll never see them again,it must feel great
They'll be crying themselves to sleep while your on a clean slate

You councience is dark, empathy for the meek
They wants a reunion, it's all they seek
From A-Z furfilling every desire
You won't even text back, destroying obsessive empires

Will you appreciate what you have when it's all gone
While it writes ballads, such cheesy old songs
One becomes a memory, the other a second thought
Too late was it learnt that love can't be bought

Second chances? Once more? You ***** up once it's all done
That is your punishment for turning a person into your sun
Place them on a pedastal, watch as they cheer
Giving everyone the attention, while your left in tears

Letting Go is easy, you've shown me through your heart
Misleading myself, I should have known from the start
One stays wholesome, the other Just a black hole
One loses an acquaintance, the other their entire soul

You walk away, the leech finally off your back
He might miss you, his life still not on track
Still a mess it seems, just look at his eyes
As he swallows his words to give a broken goodbye

Milo and Honey
thyreez-thy Dec 2024
Walking yet stagnant
Humble yet arrogant
Living but with regret
is your life really that set
Allow us to query

Is the womb really that scary?
Where is the world concerned?
Beginning feels less fearful, when you're holding my hand
When the world sees an outsider, you hold me, you understand
I thank the stars we made it thus far; this victory feels earned

Jokes are a hole that the truth seeps through...
Lies are a delicate poison
You choose transparency and remain true
Yet the world left you unchosen
Small loses that I'm sure burned
Looking for something that we all yearn
A sweet release from war by a soldier
Be the soldier your killer or savior, you'll be free from anguish
Looking back at it, do you feel like you earned your wish

I see your hazel eyes, swimming in a brown sea
I gaze at your chocolate skin, wishing I could be
Just a centimeter of who you are, and see how far
I could make it in your shoes, and choose you all over
Again, and again

Wanting what's within that comb is a dangerous venture
Bees’ stings, honey badgers and insurmountable height .... tasks only found on a dangerous endeavor
Yet....I can't make it as for as you did.... tasting you, which is too sweet and dangerous for most, makes me feel like a Cheater in nature
Allowed to be yourself you let me, a soldier, drink the sweet honey guarded by the bees
Unworthy
ill experienced
but you’re my thrill, you gave me my fill

A future hope for a better present
But there couldn't be a better present than you
Granting a wish only few could dream of...
Being better than those before and after
A poem mostly written by the man of the hour, he truly suprised me taking the role the long parts of the poetry in this duet.

loving the future
thyreez-thy Jan 2019
finally sleep feels like a dream

like a gentle little blue stream

ive always waited for someone like you

your beutiful face, your eyes so blue



i never knew how lucky i am

my heart to open like a clam

at first it seemed like just good friends

now hoping that the feeling will never end



i guess you can say loves a drug

cause i get my fix from every hug

since ive met you my heart has been unlocked

how my mind has cleared, its finally unblocked



although we met across a screen

my life is more brighter, the grass more green

i have no regrets in what i say,true and all

cause for your love id always take the fall



people can say what they want its fine

but with me and you its always divine

the world may say my heart is in the sky

but your love is the reason it has wings to fly



mesuring our love on the map, with the contour lines

i don't care what they say,my feelings wont be confined

counting the months till we get to meet, we'll meet one day

cause for your love, ill always make a way
the struggle of long distance

New and Nostalgic
thyreez-thy Dec 2024
The world scurries for the latest trends
What feels good in your hand, what easily bends
But few see the beauty in the stubborn and the learnt
Where pleasure is never bought, Its earned
what we call love, a rare gift for 2

I’d never call myself willing to stand against the elite
But it is a blessing, to stand on my  feet
To know your eyes would drown lesser souls
I wish to always be your support, to make you a goal
Such a rare commodity  isnt seen until its gone to shore

It is not bragging, where few are blinded to your beauty
My heart is mapping, all the locations it discovered in this city
Things I’d have never done, times I never saw the sun
Set on my issues, or rise on feelings, how fun
This road has been, teardrops clear my eyes to admire you generously


The orange, pink and red, remind me, as I lay in bed
I was deranged, sinking, almost dead where your absence was
Before you said hello, before what I said
when we saw destiny, in the galaxy we call eyes, thus today
I can rejoice knowing, as lost as I was I found the right way

Like the ps2, I float in the space, cubes around me
I float aimlessly, till your planet caught me
I opened, and saw the beauty of your hue
And my heart knew It had to be you
To take many of my firsts, turn my best from their worsts

Nothing I’ve done, is reminiscent of your soul
Never in FIFA did a goal matter
Never in dragon ball, did a fight leave me better
Never did a concert leave me speechless
Like the day I fell in love with you

The song I always searched for
The taste I never experienced
The feeling I never searched for
The soulmate I never knew existed
A story I incorporated from both our histories with games and nostalgia

9 Lives
thyreez-thy Dec 2024
1 life where I never got to know your name
where life went on the same
but everything felt meaningless
Where your presence was lacking

2 where I roam this world, is it flat? Round?
Does it matter if you were never found?
Everyone seems off, nothing makes sense
Everything around me leaves me in suspense

3 Where I was a made man, wealthy and healthy
But I sit alone in my penthouse
My only companion is in the wall a mouse
So better of that without you I fell lesser than

4 where we passed each other, I say hi
where you didn’t care I was Bi
Yet we never made eye contact
You never kept in touch
a friend, yet that’s where it ended

5 I meet you at the cinema, you spilled my popcorn
6 where you were male and I the feme fatale
7 where I cried like hail, where milo was never born

8 where we made it, and we kissed under the sun
But 9, definitively, is where we met
No matter how it went about, we got the true ending
Where you are my Bun, you’re fine, we’re set

To the 9th life, where alternates failed to complete
A future we grab with both hands
To demons we’ll defeat, to quirks the world will never understand
To the 9th try, where we defied fate
Same story as last time, he really likes being called "Nine" so I interpreted 9 what if scenarios for them.

Sheep get loose when the hear this song
Hundred stones on my sheep get me close to DOG
Don't pray for love we pray for candy bars

Kennel so loud need some discipline
Twenty biscuits on me, made with cinnamon
Cut that bone meal into meaty pieces

I wouldn't know how you feel as I type
But you were always mine
Atleast in hindsight it felt so
Sublime, yet I was inclined
To love the one who saw my hype

When everyone saw my jokes crude
You saw a comedian
when everyone saw a shallow puddle, rude
You saw the Caribbean

So today, I see you, even if not in reality
I see your beauty from memory and history
The kind acts of your mother, and the mysteries
Your tears of mystery, your thoughts of destiny

I hope one day he sees your Glory, your greenish eyes
And I hope that every demon comes to despise
Your beautiful lineage, your kindest acts
From your blunders, to your in facts
May the world keep you whole and intact

May your shape that changes from child birth to Love
Meld into the beautiful soul you host
May you never come to boast of the many blessings
From the God we celebrate up above
And may you be blessed the most

My words don't do enough to describe your totality
Your obscurities and your beauty
May he see what I see in you, if I never get the chance
To fall for you not in hindsight, but at first glance
You deserve the world, not a puddle, you deserve to dance

I know you don't like the name Mirinda, you prefer the beautiful other
But today I wanted to show the beauty as a whole instead
That you needn't see it as a rather anymore
That you soar, and it brings sweet dreams when you go to bed
That nothing stops you from living and loving to your core

I hope you make a great mother
I hope you make a great wife
I hope you see love in the eye of one another
And that you don't see dirt in spite
Of how the storyteller replays events of asunder

Forgive me if this isn't enough
But please learn to love beyond the scope of existence
And always be persistent
Because you are who you are Mirinda
You are as beautiful as every name Mikayla
You are as loving as your family says you are
You are beyond these words, and beyond these feeble stars
You are you
through and through
A valentine poem I wrote to a special person, it was difficult writing this after a few months of no contact but it helped to make it (to me) mean something. Thank you for reading.

Blank Silence
thyreez-thy Oct 2022
We joke around and silence hits
At a loss for words, the end of our wits
With topics so ******, we'd never wanna be heard
With laughter so juvenile, ranging to the absurd

Then in solitude, we realise, that moments are just empty time skips
We're empty, riding on hollow vocal ships
We skip from person to person, hoping for a reaction
We hate every moment of the process and have regrets after the action
Like eating cake to have the last say
Then vomiting, in a depressing, monologue of a play

Going day by day, in a monotone manner
having nothing to say, with your Monochrome banner
Humanity carries on, while you stand idle
Like a broken lighthouse, or a stand-still Windmill

Death seems dull, yet excitement feels rare
Every breath is free, yet it catches you by a hair
Like a mannequin roaming an empty dark stage
Trying to wait for the golden years, to realise you're gatekept by your own age

And silence, louder than any bad tune
A blank space, brighter than any rising star
You sit alone, in a room of white space
Unknowing of the world around you

To make sense, of the blank space

Always a pleasure
thyreez-thy Dec 2024
It's been several months
I've lost the nerve to count dates
Who's still waiting? Who does the other hate?
Is a reunion what this one wants?


Others move on and know all about such
To let go, find another love, surely they'd know much
To sell yourself to ever open opportunity
Instead of growing your investment through love, time, and maturity


Others gallivant while others drink
And other hold their hands while staring down at the sink
Surely one must move on eventually, is that so?
Or one shall never again find peace, have their skin glow


Others can orchestrate such beautiful stories
But they're words as hollow as them, holding no history
Do the bitter long for a past long gone?
Or do the better let it slide, through exercise and songs?


Alas, it's a pleasure none the less
To have always been their, for each other's mess
To have known you, through love and absence
I hope your Christmas is as snow white and gracious as your soul
And I hope you're eyes find beauty even when you grow old
Something that came to me yesterday.

Somewhere Out There
thyreez-thy Apr 27
Rarely would I believe in stars connecting souls
Or that we could come together sure enough if we would align goals
That a red thread brings strangers together
And that your course of life cannot chance no matter what, or whether
You think you're alone


That you stare at the same night sky, somewhere out there
That love sees us through, even if we don't know where
Or who the other is
That this is what love is
It's precipice


That you count on a map from province to province
Will the hobby bring either prominence?
That even underneath the same night sky
We could think, wonder cry
If souls find love even when their bodies die

That skies open, that rain falls down on the same earth
That since birth, it was predestined souls will meet


That the theory states, that somewhere out there, if it was love, then said souls will come to meet for the first time, or even once more
Regardless of goals, of cares or hate


Cause somewhere out there, a beautiful soul owns your name, your likeness, and it wouldn't be the same
If I never knew, you were somewhere out there
A poem based on the disney song from An American Tail, one of my all time favorite tracks growing up.

My little blue kite
thyreez-thy Oct 2020
My hopes attached to a thin string
With it held tight, i can do anything
Flying in the sky, with the wind by its side
Seeing it moving makes me happy inside

Thunderstorms comes and the wind may go rough
But I've reinforced it, and boy is it tough
Other kids May laugh, but all isn't in vain
My hope flies, coloured blue, as calming as the rain

And when it gets late, i pack it all away
I tell my parents my adventures i had while out to play
And im so very lucky, that i have this in my sights
My very own manifestation of hope
My little blue kite
Holding on to hope even in the darkest of days

holding on to regret
thyreez-thy May 2022
I know that you are suffering, I know you are unwell
but when you feel the need to talk, come to me, do not dispel
Sit next to me, and hold my hand, I promise this won't hurt
I know it's hard to understand, but let your emotions spurt

I see the demon at the seams, as its horrors can connect
worry not for I am here, it is my light you can expect
At least I used to think so, till you ran back to the dark
chasing a pointless emotion, curiosity made you embark
I chased after you, unaware it was you running from my grasp
Was I too clingy? too naïve? too nice for you to bear?
You fell and scraped your heart on the tarmac, I tended to the wound
We laughed as I gazed at those moons you seem to call your eyes
Perhaps I did get so attached, that my obsession was disguised
And then you get up, once more, running away without a care

I try to understand you, I try to compromise
The tears flow as I cry, and your words glitter in lies
your never all that busy, to not even donate an hour?
or perhaps you cut off the rotten part like a fruit our love turned sour

I hate you, with a burning passion, yet love you all the same
I never want to see your face, yet its ignition is to blame
the sound of your voice, almost taunt- like in nature
If your vast heart was the ocean, did that make me the sailor?

I had plans of promise rings and our children's names
You had plans for a quick high leading to permanent shame
I envy that I love you, and let you use me so
for when you strike you seem to know, to always hit below

I'm sorry if I smothered you, I'm sorry that I cared
I'm sorry for trying to be there when you were never aware
And yet I wish for one day, we can finally meet face-to-face
To see if it is anger or love that will take place
Your expiations are fleeting, your intentions unsure
Your feelings are feigning, were they ever really pure?

Who's to know who meant what? I the bear and you the trapped cub
I left with the gaping wound and you the sought-after Dub
I'll miss you truly, perhaps more than is healthy
for what we had, just you and I, made me more rich than the wealthy

Every one sided love story
thyreez-thy Oct 2020
When first we met it was a treat
My heart practically at your feet
My first time, i hoped to be the one
To hear you say "im not ready" and lie under the sun

Been rejected, still hope clears away pain
Butterflies digested, yet we sing happily in the rain
Known to everyone as a warm soul
When i approach you ignore me as if I'm coal

Smiling away, your happiness drives me
Life is already a mess, emotions deprived from inside me
Funny yet, when I ignore
You ask why i act colder than before

Knowing my feelings, yet still loving the game
Loving how my every attempt is comedy found in my shame
You can't lose a connection that never existed
But i feel it for everyone who is just as persistent
Ever told your crush how to feel just to be lied to? Ever wondered why they act so cold only around you? My sincerest apologies to those who had been crushed like that.

The new normal
thyreez-thy Sep 2022
I wake up, unbothered by the previous night(mares)
Struggling to get out of bed, its another fight (unfair)
I think of you, then remember our separation
My smile wipes of my face with no indication.

Brush my teeth, too afraid to stare at the mirror
Every time I see a glimpse of you in it, I start to quiver
place my hands on the sink to pray
stopping the pain from returning, telling it to go away

Eating breakfast, Pizza and milk
terrible eating habits, enough pent up rage to sow silk
a string spanning longer than our feelings for each other
For when we couldn't admit we couldn't tolerate one another

Leave the premises, cracking a smile
forgetting our genesis, regardless has it been a while
Angered by simplicity, yet welcome to it
Fine with lowered expectations, yet nevermore
placing ones guard higher than ever before

for this is the new normal: Bitter, hurt and none the wiser
even as I type this, I miss her and despise her
would it work? was it worth it?
Is it fate to have one curse it?

it doesn't matter, I catch my bus, unbothered
as under my breath I cuss, smothered(by regret)
my anger grows into numbness(emptiness I beget)
I reach my stop and hop off
earphones subside the voices, but their song is almost as sweet as yours was
I wish I was hit by that very same bus
so the memories can leave me like you did
but alas

this is the new normal, **** it up and carry on

— The End —
