  Jul 2017 Unconfident Enough
Eloi
She was oxygen,
But toxic,
Purified but nostalgic,
Transparent but also  hard to read.

She was ice water,
Infused with a dime and a quarter,
Costing you to live,
But somehow always keeping you alive.

She was a sunset in black,
A night sky in red,
She spread her thoughts all over your bed,
When she breathed you felt diseased,
And always had the need; to tell her she is beautiful.

You stare when she's not looking,
And stare when she is,
No matter what, you know exactly who she is.
You know everything about her,
Hair and eye colour,
And every single suicidal thought that she had ever had.

You were intertwined with her;
Back street lovers,
Making A ship out of a wreck of two denying hearts and minds.
Once in a while take the chance
To laugh, to jump, to dance
Even in the bad days to come
Look for the happy moments to count
Make everything memorable
Even circumstances are unbearable
Bring out the crazy in you
Cause there's no better way to live life
The way you do
Keep smiling, keep hoping
Be courageous enough to extend your limits
Be kind to help others develop
Be gentle not to step on anyone
Keep the faith
Keep your lips curved up
In times you can no longer keep up
Rest
But don't stop
Stop overthinking negatively
Always hope for the positives
Remember this
Because I, your past
Is striving hard for you
For a life to last
A life worth the tears
A journey to be treasured
I have not done much of these
In the passing of days
It's yours to take
You are the subject of my poem
you're the lyric to my song
I think you have already known
I think of you alone
days passed by
I didn't know your about to fly
as you said goodbye
sweat won't stop running from my eye
those aren't tears of pain that I feel
but it's joy that I'm now free
all the worries that run around me
goes with you and I can see
the known emotion now fading
together as our distance is widening
it's time to write a new song
time to inspire a new poem
the written ones will stay
to remind me of a happy yesterday
everything will remain a memory
a souvenir of you and me

— The End —
