Don't get caught
Laura Claes Jul 3
Be inspired by many things
but don't get caught by wanting
and wanting to be
everything.

My first poem
Laura Claes Jul 2
She's a pure hearted girl
with the happiest soul
She talks to the moon
listens to the trees
speaks with the animals
and compliments the flowers

Yet, often she feels sad
because she loves too much
and thinks too deep
Her nights are sometimes dark
But every time
she pulls herself back together
and decides
that her personality
is too positive
to be so negative.

Shared magic
Laura Claes Jul 3
Every purest element in life reminds me of you
cause I know you feel the magic too
The moon, stars, warmth of a gentle sun
sound of the wind, trees
those special spots in the forest where we run.

Madly in love
Laura Claes Jul 2
Isn’t it a strange concept
we hold on to someone
we fell for
We blindly fight
even if it doesn’t feel right
We lose ourselves
we feel sad
Happiness suffers
but we hold on
Love’s something mad.

Then let me go
Laura Claes Jul 8
My love
If you don’t want
love and respect me
then let me go
I have no energy anymore
to argue
cry
fight
in the morning
evening
and at night.

In silence
Laura Claes Jul 3
I wish I could cry it out
but instead I cry inside
There tears are flowing
and they drown my mind.

Who can we trust?
Laura Claes Jul 3
If animals in the wild
must constantly be careful
then why should we
people around each other
ever feel secure?

Slowly into peace
Laura Claes Jul 4
Today I realized
it is enough for me
to just know

Confusion
turning into clarity
acceptation
slowly into peace.

Nice try
Laura Claes Jul 3
You’re not making me unsure about me
you’re making me angry, at you
cause I love who I am and how I look
I used to blame myself
but now all I only do for doubting me
is doubting you.

Is it caring?
Laura Claes Jul 2
If your care for me depends on your own interests of subject and time, I think it's called control instead.

Anger takes over
Laura Claes Jul 3
Almost saying sorry again

Not always it has to be me
the one to set her pride aside
to endure and forget
at the same time
to do it your way
or lose all love and attention that day
can’t talk with you
what should I do

A hurting heart
but a strong mind
I refuse to settle for a love
that isn’t lovingly and kind.

The language of poetry
Laura Claes Jul 8
The language of poetry
is so much more romantic
Let's talk to each other this way
Let's forget the world
and pretend that all that matters
is that we forever stay.

Did we?
Laura Claes Jul 3
Finally I feel we did grow
day by day
I thought we couldn’t handle the bad ones
but we both stay
Don’t know how this will end
if we will survive
But I know it is with you
I want to live my life.

Laura Claes Jul 9
I was confused when you said
I always made up problems
I couldn’t understand you didn’t see
the only thing I was struggling with
was you leaving me in uncertainty
I needed truth
and all I got was blame for asking.

Glad to ease you
Laura Claes Jul 8
I guess what we had was to easy you
and with my love for you I dare to say
it doesn’t even matter to me, the hurt
Selfless.

Left in love
Laura Claes Jul 7
Maybe he won't do it again
with her
Maybe they really match
and we just didn't
But he chose me
to love
to use
to abuse
He wouldn't let me leave
until he left me
in love
addicted
left to grieve.

The one
Laura Claes Jul 8
Sometimes I think he forgets
He seem to forget it’s me
the one he loves
the one he kisses
the one he hugs
the one he *****
Sometimes it seems like
I’m just the one he hates.

Me fool
All this time I was blind
from the day you came in
till the day you walked out of my life
I was so foolishly in love with you.

L.C.
Let’s see what happens
if you keep pushing me away
You’ll still want me
but I'll be gone some day.

L.C.
I look back now
and I’m not surprised
I felt this way so often
unsure of your feelings
unsure of a future with me

You said you were sure
but you were not
I saw it in your eyes
heard it in your voice
noticed it in the way you treated
hid and hit me sometimes

I was always just an option.

Can't we?
So many places to go
so much to enjoy
in life, with love
Why make it so complicated
What if we just decided
we want to be together
and let all fears fade
How would our life be
if we no longer wait.

Why do you stay?
It seems you can’t stand me
what I say, what I do
You just can’t stand it
because it’s me
I don’t understand why you’re still here
if you feel such a strong urge
to constantly disagree.

L.C.
You asked me
and I said I didn’t
but I do tell my friends about you
I do
because I’m totally in love with you.

L.C.
I want to make it work
but maybe I try too hard
Maybe I love too hard
I’m good at loving you when we’re okay
but oh God when we’re not
All I do is beg you to stay.

L.C.
Here I write every day
about my love for you
and the sadness that comes with it
Still I hear you don’t trust me
How can you not know
the only thing I want is you
to never let me go.

L.C.
The restlessness of my mind has caused me many struggles
but it has also revealed many truths.

L.C.
I often wrote poetry
to express the loneliness
of a love that wasn’t right
Now that I’m alone
I journal instead
just daily thoughts
without chasing depth
Maybe I’ll never want to write poems again
Maybe I just want to journal
out of a calm love that feels true
and share a gentler kind of depth with you.

L.C.
I deeply enjoy it when you say
we are more alike than we know
and I hope we really are
because if you feel the same as I do
our love is nothing but true.

L.C.
