Soul Stone: Thanos' Regret
Ugo Victor May 2018
Let me hold you

                        Till I can't breathe again

           Till your soul lets me in

                        One soul for another.

What are eyes for, again
Ugo Victor May 2018
She said, V

You have really nice eyes

Like 'em puppy eyes

So, Now I don't know

What to do with my eyes

Blink, Wink, keep a permanent squint?

Do I still keep using them for sight?

Crooked Smiles
Ugo Victor May 2018
Everyone thinks

I have the perfect smile

But no one stops

To check

If it's real

So it must be true

Crooked Smiles

Tell it all.

DV
Ugo Victor Apr 2018
DV
She was survived by a husband
two kids and a dog
Yes she lived with an animal
Check the first line for some clue

She was survived by her friends
Some who she lost
When she wouldn't go
And her family
Who made her stay
So that people don't say

She was survived by her Instagram page
And her pictures of a perfect home
Like things were so goal
And her pride never let her go

Here she lies in wait
But all she had to do was leave.
I know that danger still exists for you when you leave, and I understand the complexity of it all, especially with kids involved, but if you can leave, why haven't you already done so.

It never really ends no matter how many times he apologizes, it adds to the stress your kids have to face and these build up to adverse childhood experiences which more or less push them to drugs and addiction later in life, and turns some of them to abusers too. Believe me, you aren't doing them any favors by staying.

I hope you get the strength you need to finally leave, I hope that you can find it within you or at least reach out to people that can help.

But most of all, I hope that one day you will be happy, even though it doesn't look like it.

Remember, it's not your fault, it never was.

You are perfect and I Love you.

Jealous
Ugo Victor Feb 2018
I'm jealous
Of everything associated
With you
That isn't me.
Like how the sun kisses you each morning
And I haven't even kissed you once
How the wind caresses your skin
Your hair dancing in careless rhythm
How do I have you all to myself?

Forever to you
Ugo Victor Feb 2018
I can't sleep
Everytime I remember your words
They snap and recoil
And hurt me awake
Next time when someone
Promises me forever
I'll just smile
Look them in the eyes and ask
How long is forever to you.

Chasing Ghost
Ugo Victor Feb 2018
Pictures of us on my wall
Remind me that you're gone
So, I take them down to burn
Now the empty Walls won't let me be
Now, they remind me of a time you were in
The picture on the wall and my future
And that I'm still stuck chasing
The shadow of your ghost.

The Roach and I
Ugo Victor Jan 2018
The cockroach and I
We startled each other
In the dark
It flew
I did too
Into the spiky edge of the bed
And the price
My knees did pay
So I stumbled, teeth gnashing
'til I found the light switch
And fended off sleep until
The cocky roach
It paid with it's life.
Funny, But True Story.

HI GUYS
I'M FRIENDS WITH MY EX AGAIN
YOU KNOW THAT EX THAT BROKE MY HEART
AND LEFT ME FOR THE ******* JACOB
YES, SHE'S STILL AS SELFISH AS EVER
STILL USING WORDS LIKE "I LOVE YOU FOREVER"
JACOB WAS AN ***, A FARCE SHE SAYS
SO I PLAY ALONG ON MY LESS BUSY DAYS

SHE ASKED FOR MY HEART AGAIN
YES THE SAME EX THAT LEFT ME STANDING IN THE RAIN
STILL AS CONCEITED AS EVER
SAYING I DAMAGED HER FOR ANYONE, EVER
AND HERE I WAS THINKING I WAS THE VICTIM
"IN A GOOD WAY" SHE ADDS
EVER HEARD OF THE WORD ADDICTUM?

THE OTHER NIGHT SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A GUY
GOOD WITH WORDS
SHE LOVED THE WAY HE TALKED
BUT DESPITE ALL OF THE TIME SPENT WITH TODD,
SHE DIDN'T WANT HIM AND WHY?
AND THE ALARMS IN MY HEAD TOLD ME NOT TO
"WHAT DO YOU WANT THEN" I MUMBLED
TO CHORUSED ANSWERS OF "YOU"
LIKE THAT WAS THE MORAL OF THE STORY

HEAD'S DOWN IN DESPAIR
KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I'M STUCK AGAIN
IT'S EASY TO FALL FOR HER I MUST SAY
AND I CAN'T HAVE HER FEEL ALONE IF I DISAPPEARED
I'M EITHER TOO NICE OR TOO FOOLISH
YOU CHOOSE
SO THE PLAN IS TO SLOWLY VANISH OR BETTER STILL
POLITELY, LET HER CHIP AWAY AT ME TILL I AM
BACK TO THE DUST

Keep it
Ugo Victor Oct 2017
... She turned to me
with tears in her soulless eyes and asked

Do you know that feeling
That comes with trusting someone
With something so fragile
And they return it in pieces so broken
You tell them to keep it?

That's what you've done with my heart.

Keep it.
Ugo Victor Oct 2017
Let's sit and pretend
Like we haven't lost it all
Everything we built; it's tsunami season afterall
But keep it coming,
you are the wind and I was warned  
Take a sip off of your teacup and smile
like the charming witch you are
Yes witch
Because say whatever you will
Hearts, no matter how broken,
Aren't supposed to hurt like this
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
There you are, sitting, feeling pretty
And I can't breathe
... Not because of you though
My sinuses are just blocked

Dreams
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
Dreams.

There's one and the other

The one I'm chasing and

The one I'm being chased in

I don't bother about sleep these days

My dreams wake me up anyway

And it's not the one I'm being chased in...

Letter from my ex
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
I knew I shouldn't have
Bothered with a hello
But you looked so much
Like a memory from my dreams
Like him you hated breakfast
And people, but loved coffee
Your eyes had answers
To questions unasked
And those eyes they
Betrayed my resolve
I was clinically obsessed
But you warned me didn't you
But what's love
without the thrills of the risk
So I carried your cross
Across My chest until
I hanged by it
You had a lot of baggage
And you added my heart to the loot
Now you are no more
But so am I.

Water. Women.
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
You see?
There's something about women
I've seen water
Hard and soft, tasteless and with taste
Still can't do without water

They are like water.
Hard and soft
Sometimes blue and feeling it
Beautiful, with ripples of anger and laughter
Making up Most of the earth

And We definitely can't do without them.

Ticking back to you
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
I've always felt that time existed
In minutes of illusion
And in pocketful of moments
Moments we wish didn't turn into memories

I've always thought that I could
Live without anybody and so
Stuck within the space between my heart
And my head I reject everything
That looks like or sounds like the L-word
But here's the thing
I haven't yet still gotten over our time spent
Recycling time into seconds of memories
It wasn't an illusion but our memories
They seem like they are; we were
Two people broken and all over the place
But with each other found perfection
In being broken and the beauty in fallen pieces
We fit,
Yet we split
And even though now time
is back to being an illusion  
I can't seem to tick my way back to you.

Reflection
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
Sometimes the image
You see of yourself in the mirror
Is a reflection of what
You think of yourself at that moment
Ugly, beautiful, maybe
Maybe it's all in your head

You are in everything
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
You insist the shadow
That follows me all day isn't you
And I swear that it takes your shape;
Why then do I still see you
When I look in the mirror at night
And in my dreams
You are in everything
Everywhere I look
What have you done to me?

My mind is ill, But it's not
the voices inside that torment
But the voices outside
They call me all sorts
Of names, they speak
Without thinking how their words
Feed the dreaded voices inside
Of my head, till it's too late
I wish it was different...

Your eyes are poetry
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
Your eyes are poetry
I get them
Yet I don't get them
That fearsome depth
I revel and drown
and I'm not even ashamed
Like poetry; words giving
meaning to my thoughts
Your eyes control the rhythm
To my heartbeat
Fast or slow
Blink and I'll miss a beat
To the dance of your lashes
I'm drunk and lost.

Ready or not
Ugo Victor Jul 2017
"I'm not ready yet"
A sentence I've used
Time and again and
I feel like I should clarify
That I'm building myself
To be the home
I think you deserve;
Nobody likes the inconvenience
Of a building that's incomplete
It's not not even about luxury
it's about the safety
We both need
To afford forever

Chaos
Ugo Victor Apr 2017
I want a house with walls, two windows and a door
Says the child who never lived in one before

I want to know what red feels like
Says the child who was born blind

I want to know what clean water tastes like
Says the child who has lived in drought

I just want a home, some food, water and some color
But another name for the universe is chaos
And we are expected to be content
Afterall, all it ever promised us, was life
And even that is never guaranteed.
Dedicated to the Children in North-Eastern Nigeria, of Syria, of Sudan

Hey
there were somethings I wish were possible
but here, help me be sure they ain't

Can I put my feet in the fire
and expect not to get burnt?
Can I jump off a scraper
and expect not to break bones?

Can I lie across the rail
and expect not to get crushed?
Can I put my heart in your delicate hands
and expect it not to slip?
Can I?

I understand.
You are so afraid
To show yourself as emotional
Because to you emotions mean weakness
So you Glory in denials
Who would know to hurt you
If they thought you didn't care?

I know.
You see his reflection
In every other guy
I know, so I've learnt
To appreciate the little signs
That show you care enough

So I look forward to the few times
You say you miss me
And miss them till you
Gather enough courage to say it again
Cos to me any progress is good progress
'til I can fill up the wound he left
Loving you; completing you

My girl
Ugo Victor Mar 2017
My girl has an unpredictable swing
She loves like a relapsing stoner
High today, clean the next
One day she insists she's mine
And the next she pretends I'm air
So I take note of that extra I love you
She says on days I'm her everything
And save them for days that I'm nothing.
My girl has a reckless swing.
But she will always be my girl.

Drown before we set sail

I thought for a moment, maybe more
That you could be the one
When we spoke, my heart
It responded in rhythmic murmurs
And I danced to the joy of the possibility
Of me and you
But now, it's goodbye
Before we even try
Farewell
Have a good life.
I'm not so good at finding love, trust me, I've tried, but I found someone I thought I had a chance with. Had.

Undying
Ugo Victor Mar 2017
These walls can't keep me
Is it called the underworld because
We get to be buried down under
Maybe death would feel different
If I was buried in the skies above

Undying
These walls won't hold
Now that I have sand as flesh
Over my bones I could
Still argue that I'm whole
From sand we came, and sand
We always will be, dead or alive

Undying
These walls ain't real
As I embrace my present being
And rise like I never died

Undying
One of the poems of the day with a similar title-Undying by Thomas P Owen's,  inspired a line I had to expand.

Hoping you don't step on it and **** me so
Praying you pick it up and make me whole
