I hate you.
y i k e s Dec 2013
You're imperious, brusque, pugnacious and seemly ominous.
You're nothing but trouble.

I hate you.

You're just a drug wrapped into the shell of a human being without a care in the world
A pill killer wrapped into a shell that's secretly dejected.
A butterfly who's inside wing is morosely designed to hide everything inside.

My Chemical Romance
y i k e s Nov 2013
It's hard to think one idea changed my life.
An idea created by five people
changed my life

An idea that combined music and words
molded into one track
about four minutes long
made me feel comfort

A picture of four or five people
in an idiotic place
with an idiotic pose
made my heart race

The wording of one phrase made me want to tattoo it on myself
in the most craziest, oddest spot on my body
when I hate needles

Lyrics written by five men
made me feel comfortable.
At ease, confident, and happy
all at once

And once that idea ended, like all good things.
I felt empty and weird.
Because all those feelings were gone
or at least I assumed so.

But they're not, because things stay.
And I have all those feelings
stored in my mind
and my heart.

Because good ideas stay with you, even if you didn't create them.
And this idea, was a great one.

And even though, I never heard any of the noise and words
repeated, shout, and sung in person
I'm okay with that because it leaves hope.
And in a life with nothing to look forward to
you need hope.

And you know an idea is great
when it creates hope.

It's okay to think, friend.

but
                        don't trust yourself early in the morning.

When your thoughts are running rapidly in your mind
telling you that you're no better
than that bottle of pills in the cabinet, used to remedy a physical pain
                          
                         don't trust yourself early in the morning

When your thoughts are running rapidly in your mind
telling you that you won't be missed
that you're better off dead rather than a forgotten memory

                          don't trust yourself early in the morning

Instead, get a cold glass of water
blow your nose
take a deep breath
tuck yourself in your bed
and close your eyes
then let sleep take over you
I've had this idea for a while, don't quite like how it turned out though

Your Favorite Game.
y i k e s Nov 2013
i haven't regretted a word i said to you in that last month
not even how i'm happy you're leaving
or that i won't miss you
or that it's by far the best birthday gift you ever gave me
you and i both knew we meant every word

now that you're gone
you can say you miss me as much as you want
i'll only say it back to seem polite
but, i see through your legerdemain
you're not that smart

i don't care if you're homesick,

i'm sick of you.
i'm sick of your constant screaming
i'm sick of your face.
i'm sick of your whining
i'm sick of you being so self-centered
i'm sick of you making me hate myself even more
i'm sick of you belittling my every move

'what's that on your arm?'

so don't bother playing the sisterly love game
i'm not going to be player two.

it's a good thing you loved that sims game i couldn't play so much
it was a one player game.

I Missed Writing About You.
y i k e s Jul 2015
Graduation came early in the month of June

I stood in line, waiting to enter the room

You were right there, beside me with a look of gloom.

you asked out loud, "do i really need to wear this [cap] the whole time?"

and i was the only one to answer, "of course! we're graduating."


I watched you the entire time, clapping louder than everyone when you were called.

However, unlike my cacophonous clapping. I remained silent, even though every fiber of me wanted to tell you,

**I've been in love with you since junior year.
and i'll never see you again.

Mistakes, Mistakes.
y i k e s Mar 2014
soon enough,

you'll realize your mistake

but

there won't be any acceptance

because it's too late.

i no longer want your remorse

i could easily find it

at the dollar store

without a million other

****** knock-off food brands

which made me sick.

i don't need another stomach-ache

from a fake apology.
I would love to fix this up more, but I have no way of rewording or editing

so this will do, I guess
y i k e s Mar 2014
Daddy had just bought himself a nice white button down top and a pair of dress pants, which are black as night.
To top off his dashing outfit, he also got a nice black and gray stripped sweater.
For once in his life, looking a bit formal.

His youngest offspring chose a beautiful floral dress, with bright pick flowers on it. To top off her formal wear, she found a pair of moccasins. Which are to be worn with white socks.
Not completely formal, but it's formal enough for semi-formal.

However,
daddy was angry.
Who was he to have to dress up for his youngest?
Who was he to have to attend an event-
a ceremony-
which mommy had no intention of attending anyway?
Why was he the one that that to go and be at this event?
An event where it was finally signalizing that his youngest was almost done high school, a milestone in anyone's life...

And so, daddy allowed his emotions to be heard.
He made sure everyone heard them,
the people within ear shot,
the people next door,
and the people down the block.

And the totals of the event are in,

Four tokens to be wasted to get to this venue.
Twenty dollars wasted on tickets.
About maybe under a hundred dollars wasted on clothes.
And the little girl's sadness wasted on feelings.

Who was she to be sad over parents not wanting to watch her get her class ring?

and I have no way to actually tell you

But recently you've had me floating on a cloud

And I've never been more happy to have someone stroll into my life

What a Chain of Events...
y i k e s Mar 2014
I'm caught in a trap
a spiderweb
in quicksand

I've find myself in a conundrum that i can't seem to escape
a quagmire
a vortex
an issue

And in the end,
regardless of what happens
I'll make the wrong decision

And I'll end up in an even larger pit of quick sand
an even worse vortex
which I won't be able to escape
what point am i even trying to make here

your love is painful to the touch, but i'll endure it all.

before you get to comfortable with where you're at,

remember it's all uncertain and in just an instant, you're right back

and they'll be there, welcoming you right back in


before you get to comfortable with where you're at

remember,

it'll all fall back, right where it belongs

you'll never be free.

Blurted Words.
y i k e s Nov 2013
she opened her mouth
and let it all out

the words spewed out her mouth
like a rapid waterfall
with vicious waves
that can cut a rock

heads turned and gazes widen
i wanted to slowly walk away
crawl under a rock and rot
turn into soil for the next flower
maybe it won't be such a coward

but all i could do was shrug
shrug-laugh-shrug
because as usual
another part of me drifted away

i'm more of a shell than ever

Such a solution!
Cold, wonderful, so an 'AH!' feeling
A prefect blend of 23 flavors, all in one delicious drink.
Some may call it crazy, or even mad, but you've held me down the most
But throughout the years, you've always been there for me
Coming from Texas, you make my heart flutter all the way here in Pennsylvania
How can one drink hold so many memories?
You truly are the Doctor, the doctor of deliciousness.
*******, Dr. Pepper.

Looking Across the Room
y i k e s Feb 2016
Standing still, staring intently.

You arm placed firmly, watching the screen as everything appeared, and disappeared. Oh so suddenly.

Focused, the most perfect way to describe you in that moment.

And yet somehow,  you manged to smile despite how fierce your stare became at the monitor.

Your hair was brushed, for once. Your clothes were baggy, typical.

Your head turned a bit to look over at me, standing across the room.

You smiled. You made a stupid face, that's how we communicate.

And that's when time froze.

And that's when I noticed everything I assumed was corrected.

For I had only thought, and guessed. But everything then became clear.

I'm in love with you.

Cover to cover, I read every word.
Putting the book down on the shelf, I felt myself getting rid of a world

A world that brought joy and tears to my eyes
A world where I connected to the protagonist.
A world that made me feel almost comfortable in my own skin for once.

I left the familiar world on the shelf and sat back in my seat, aching almost.
I shouldn't be this attached to a book.

It was too late, I did fall for someone else.
His arms became home.
His voice became a blanket.
His eyes became shelter
His crooked glasses became a source of comfort

You became my melancholic normal.
You broke me one too many times

you are strong, beautiful, warm-hearten, and so ******* cuddly

You're a daisy
