I still miss you.
I miss the kisses, the cuddles, the ***.
I miss your cheeky little grin and your wispy beard against my skin.
I miss how your eyes would glisten and your voice went higher,
As I listened to you tell me about dragon ball, or how work had been prior.
Without you, there are highs and lows, and
Every day is too fast, yet too slow.
If you had asked me early March why I’m here,
There would be nothing else to hear, except gushing over your curly hair
Or, how you walked me home from school every day when I was 15.
****.
Why did you have to be so mean?
It went and ****** up everything.
Why’d you do that **** to me?
I couldn’t even just be and exist as me,
And everything is just the worst
Because I had to put me first.
I still miss you.
And, honestly I don’t know what to do
Or even who the **** I am.
I’m a phantom of myself.
I’m a ******* basketcase,
I’m a useless waste of space.
I can’t stop messing up everything.
And ever since we broke up,
I’ve worn your jacket to work.
And, I’m the **** that dumped you, but
My heart ******* hurts.
I still miss you.
I see you in every spring flower rising from the dirt.
And, I think they wrote every song about you, too.
Why does every beautiful piece of art look a lot like you?
I hate that I love rom coms.
I hate that you wouldn’t dance with me at prom.
I hate that I’m not Sally, and you’ll never be my Harry.
I hate that I wanted to marry you.
I’d rather die than be your spouse.
You’re still trying to say who I should talk to and what I should do.
I hate that I’m stuck 2 minutes from you and your stupid ******* house.
Because of you I can’t breathe and I shake.
Every time someone yells at me, I ******* break.
I hate that you’re so ******* bad to the core
I hate that you called me slurs and said I looked like a *****
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
I still miss you.
Remember when you smacked my face?
That’s something you can undo or erase.
Remember when I tried to exit a moving vehicle because you were keeping me against my will?
Rather you like it or not, that was meaningful.
Remember when you took my keys so that I couldn’t leave?
I genuinely can’t believe I let someone do those things to me.
Remember when you didn’t get me anything for graduating, turning 18, Valentine’s Day, anything.
You owe me so many ******* dates that you cancelled because it was getting late.
Remember when you berated me in front of all of my friends over and over again?
You called all my interests stupid and you never gave a **** about my art.
You wrote your name across my heart, but you never would dance with me
Because you thought I was cringey.
I still miss you.
And boy, you haven’t a single clue how to treat a woman, or even any person.
I hate you. I love you. I hate you. I hate that I still love you.
I hate that my identity is so entangled in you.
I don’t know what the **** to do.
Why am I here?
Why am I stuck in this perpetual state of fear that I can’t live without you?
You should get out of my head.
****, these intrusive thoughts want me dead.
I hate my stupid ******* brain for filling myself with disdain towards who I am alone.
I want to text you, but I’ll refrain.
Now, you’re nothing more than a name in my phone.
You’re not the boy that makes me swoon, giggle and moan anymore.
You’re not my baby, my qt, mi amor; you aren’t someone I want to adore.
I still miss you.
Why am I here?
What am I doing?
Deep inside me something’s brewing.
Every day I’ve sat here stewing.
I need to be someone new,
I need to figure out what to do.
Why can’t I ******* stop thinking about you?
But I’m still breathing; I’m not dead.
I keep forcing myself out of bed.
And I even dyed my hair red.
I’m here.
I’m where I’m supposed to be
And until my heart mends
I’m surrounded by lovely friends.
I’ll run away to be an artist.
Even though I’m not the smartest, I’ll figure this **** out.
I’ll learn to live without you.
I quit that job I hated.
My heart throbs for something different.
And **** love; it’s overated.
I still miss you.
My whole life was infiltrated by cupid’s stupid arrow.
My trust in life is so near narrow, and
I’ll never let a boy treat me like a barbie doll.
I am my own;  I won't be toyed with and I won’t fall
for some self obsessed, egotistical, adorable, little *******.
I wake up in my own bed and I own my own legs.
You can cry and you can beg, but I will never be your girl again.
And ****.
I’m here now, and I’ll allow what I’ll allow.
I’m going to just live for me
I’m here to just simply be.
I’m lost and I’m unknowing,
But ****** ****** boy, I’m ******* growing.
AND I’m here now.
I’m figuring out how to say no,
And I’m trying to go when and where I want to go.
I’m going to run away from you,
And you can stay in this **** town.
I know I won't let me down.
Why am I here?
One day I woke up on this blue-green sphere, and it didn’t mean a single thing.
I was a lump of flesh and blood; my mind was fresh and not corrupt.
I learned pain and I learned love. They both came and went abrupt.
I’m here now scorned and torn, and my heart and mind are worn.
I’ll live without you.
I’ll do what I have to.
What does it even matter why or how?
I’m here now because I’m here now.
I still miss you.
But, one day I won’t.
I’m here to see that day I don’t.
I’m here to hold my own heart.
I’m here now to make my art.
I still miss you.
This is so long, but This is my magnum opus of poetry. I dated this guy for 4 years and he meant the world to me. I love him a lot, and I only want good things to go his way. I was in a toxic relationship, but he has a good heart. This poem is me pouring my soul out, and I wrote it for a school project.

I took you like a *****
and smiled like a ****
spat  lust soaked words like a hypocrite
but the way i writhed in you...
you knew otherwise

sometimes i like to think about
the night before,
or the night after
thoughts of your curves slotting into my caves we are perfect
two long lost peices of the puzzle pushed under the couch
nothing ive ever done has pleased anyone as much as  I have you


and so i write a simple verse
to smile wide and hide nothing
but to say i love you
Emily Jones Aug 2015
Reality is like a dream
When you spend all day trying to escape
From its weight
Which like an elephant fills the room
Pull open the door and step away
Like a phone box whose bigger on the inside
The mind always finds a way to hide
Where fae and fairy folk dance their magic dance
Fair maidens say their right words
And young hobbits smoke to victory
Pipping away their pipe songs to the sound of groaning trees
Dwarves become kings having fought themselves free
When padfoot, wormtail and prong create mischief along the moving stair
And a boy who lived once again
No reality can be rather lame
Because adventure awaits..
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit..."

In a world of concrete
and televisions
there is no room
for love and liberty
only hyperspeed delusions

Screens project illusions
colorful and negative
******, ****, war
pure destruction
revolution

Communication boxes
with buttons and blinky lights
musical tones to let you know
that your mother says hello
her voice and face is not enough

Letters are overated
conversations are useless
chivalry is ridiculous
and a smile is anything
but friendly

Neighbors are irritating
too much or too little
of this
that
or the other thing

Knowledge is power
accessible, unclear and confusing
nothing makes any sense
everyone is stupid
but everyone knows everything

Convenience
is inconvenient
never good enough
fast enough
or affordable

There's internet
for computers, tv and cell phones
books in every format
knowledge through every source
but it's all lies, right?

No one knows the truth
no one can believe it
everything is a lie
and everyone is trapped
between televisions and concrete

Nature is forgotten
or locked in fences
near park benches
trimmed and controlled
to particuliarities

Consummables are consumed
without recognition
of the quantity
or lack thereof
until there is nothing left.

Used and abused
people and animals
plants and minerals
oxygen and gas
depleted, destroyed, enslaved

There is no room
for love and liberty
in a world ruled
by delusions
created from concrete and televisions

who needs sleep?
i can stay up all night i guess
not like i actually wanted to sleep
or have a peaceful night
without you running through my head
in a tireless loop of
"i love you"
and
"i dont think i can do this anymore"
i mean, sleep is overated anyway.
id rather stay up all night and
do things completely unrelated
to how you betrayed me
in an failed attemp to forget those words
"i never want to see you hurt"
and
"i will always be yours"
i can sleep tomorrow.
when im so exhausted that
i cant think of you at all.
its only 4:15 am... I could still get a few hours of sleep. I think im gonna go try to do that now.

I can't spell love to you.
Cause you don't feel the same.
My mind is crazy,
We can't even meet halfway.

The trees dance,
Every time the clouds cry.
And I'd rather hurt my self with truth,
Than to say I will try.

There's a waterfall,
Hiding in my heart,
Like a meteor,
It falls unstopable.

I can't sleep,
Without thinking of your pretty face.
And always pray  please be in my dreams,
Just you and me in a tryst.

I'm still here,
Waiting there.
Hoping,
For a you and me ending.

I know some words are overated.
Some say I'm out of my head.
But no one would sit beside my bed.
No one.

Me
I remembered the Sequoia
I haven't forgotten
I remembered the Acacia
I haven't forgotten
I remembered

I'm seeing Amaranth
I'm seeing Allure
I'm seeing Aragon
I'm seeing Azure
Aurora

I felt the mist
I tasted the fog
I drank the dew
I heard the rain
resurrect

I know the hum
I know the beat
I know the rythm
I know the sound
Orchestral

Winter is warming
Summer is overated
Autumn is serene
Fall is saddening
I feel

This ambience is tranquil
Sometimes horrifying
This atmosphere is pacific
Sometimes petrifying

The sensation of being solus
The sensation of being unloved
The sensation of being foible
Me.
One never knows me unless they've tried me.
I am a diamond in the Rough
I am the Sun on your Darkest of times.
Routine.
People get lost on how they should meet or their type of person that seems the right fit.
Beyond the wrapper on a candy bar, one never knows a taste before they take a bight.
The new flavor becomes, on store shelves, a hit.
Mr. Right isn't always a straight forward guess.
He sometimes is right in front of your face.
In the most unexpected of places.
There might not be a limo pulling up to your front door on that first date.
Or a "Hello" in a coffee shop as you walk in.
Maybe on the job or the internet which you've been too afraid to Take new Friends from such in.
Look past what you think is your "perfection."
Beneath this rough and seemingly out-of-date style
You shall find a huge heart beating for you...
Fresher for you...
And stronger for you..
Than any other guy from who you've loved
From the traditional ways you've met him in.
I am the guy who walks in the rain to meet you as he had promised.
Supports you when you are at your weakest or sickest.
I am one to make you laugh when you wish to cry.
Much more than this, for in every relationship, I don't quit on someone unless there is no other way in which we can try....
To go past what is considered a true limitation
or an overated expectation.
For now that I've gotten you to see what is inside of me....
And you are not afraid to try...
Past the normal means in which you search.....
Go over the wall you've built and try me....
Together, deeply and true, we can run together and then be truly free.

hey pretty girl with the long brown hair
life is long and we know its unfair
but don't you let the world put down your smile
it will get better you just have to wait a little while
the prince charming boy is late
but i swear you'll have lots of fun dates
and don't those fairy tales seem so overated?
there's no need to feel intimidaded
yeah life is long but we can make it fun
and you can do it without the right one
you say "i bet his lips taste so fine"
but let me tell you, you haven't tasted wine
its not all about romance, nor about a kiss
you've gotta dream but don't fall into the abyss
life is on you, there's no superhero
but there's me to help you get up that ego
just ask, a friend is here
and your stories i want to hear

— The End —
