I should have known...
You always preferred
The smell of fresh coffee
To the smell of a fresh start.
You never wanted anything more
Than company...
Than attention...
Did you?
Just being friends could be fun,
But I'd rather taste your tongue.
You know how much you mean to me...
Stop teasing me.
You're cute so I'ma flirt with you anyway

I dare you to whisk me away
With those electric limbs of yours
Let's go some place
Where we won't be judged

Don't let them seep in
Under the door
Just ignore the invisible creaking
Surely it will stop soon

Do not be frightened
The wailing is not a killer
Not a knife in this hand
Nor a hammer in this head

Do not call me, do not whistle
I am no cat, I am no wolf

Hold your breath
Hang upside-down
Let me scare you, scare yourself
Shall I fetch a mirror?
Or would that prove to be
Just as useless?

Whining in the shadows
Ghost white and blood red
Scratch marks, no bite marks
What were you expecting?

Let me howl
I am no wolf
But you seem to be a moon
You shine so brightly, I swear
You are the cure
That I've been searching for

They warned me about you
Before I left
I never understood their worries...
I blink and you are gone
Back again
Is that your honest soul?
It's so grey
(I can empathise)

Should we still run?
Would you rather soar?
I don't like this idea anymore
You are too frail, too fragile
I will not love you like this
Tomorrow...

Amen...
A word used at the end of prayer
Meaning "we agree"
So why say it in harmony
If you don't even believe?

"I won't pray, but I'll close my eyes and say amen"
No, just close your eyes

Respect us
But don't lie

You can't agree that we are going to Heaven
If you don't believe in Heaven in the first place

"I don't believe in God"
Fair enough

"I don't care if I go to Hell"
But you don't believe in Hell, do you?

"I hate God"
No, no, no, you hate the concept of God, you don't even believe in him!

"I wanna fight Jesus"
Aw, come on, that's just disrespectful...

Regardless of whether or not God is real, he loves, or would love, you...

"Jesus sounds like a good guy..."
**Amen.
I've had this saved on here as a draft for ages... Believing in God has kind of turned into a joke to a lot of people over the past few years, so I didn't want people to laugh at this, but hey... This is just what I've been feeling as of late.

You ask me what it is,
So I tell you about it.
You frown and you question,
Until I start to doubt it.

"Why was that so hard for you to say, our dear?"

Well, because I know that it's not what you wanted to hear...

"You're right,
It's not what we wanted to hear,
But you should never fear,
Because we'll always be here,
for you."


You may be there for me,
But do you really care for me?
Can't help but hope you do,
I hope you were telling the truth.

I just need you both to love me,
No matter who I have to be.

"We love you."
Yeah, I hope you do...
I've been writing so much about my parents lately??

I lay you down on the floor
Displayed for all to see
How was I to know that
What you needed wasn't me?

What you needed was closure
And you craved less exposure
To the damage of reality
Yes, then you'd be free

But that was of no avail
To you, at least, my love
Instead you ended up falling
I hope now you'll rise back up

I apologise for everything
That I did and didn't do
I apologise in knowing
That I did this to you
Idk

We did not wait as long as the others.
We were ready before they were.
And that's okay.
I was fourteen the first time.
Not understanding what I was getting myself into.
Eventually we stripped our stars, with everything on the floor, and a locked door.
You were sprawled across the canvas...
I began to paint.
Swirls, faces, unfamiliar places.
All I wanted to see
was you.
All I wanted to taste
was you.
All that I tasted was, indeed, you...
Nothing sweet.
Refreshing, yes, minty...
But not sweet.
Clumsy mouths, bumping off one another in the darkness.
Unexperienced lovers, unsure of our next moves.
I was as brave of a gentleman as I could have been, but you...
You tread on my courage.
And I do not miss you.
No, I do not miss you, but I am sorry...
Forgive me.
This one's a different kind of personal. I'm trying new things.
Thomas EG Apr 2015
Happiness spills from my lips
Laughter trickles down my soul
I can't believe that we're here again
Just as good new
As we were old
Another unfinished poem that will never be finished...
