yv - Hello Poetry

What if the sky wasn't blue
or if I ever discover something new
what if all your promises stayed true
all of your I love you's

What if we look at things at different view
will things change for us to come through?
what if somehow we'll make do
and maybe meet again at our rendezvous

Maybe if we stayed true and knew
that someday sunrises will be our view
there's no need to read into
just hold my hand and whisper sweetly

I love you

the girl with a story

There is this girl I know - a happy one
She is someone you see in the background
blending in, just written as a bystander.

She is a friend of mine, a precious one
I do not know all of her stories
we were not that close
we just talk unimportant matters.

Now she's been a big part of my life
we were both casted as a bystander
our stories unknown, not wanted to be known.

As time passes by I knew
she wasn't a happy girl
I knew a few of her stories
of how she was hurt
how she deserved much more.

This is for that girl I only knew
then became my friend - a special one.
To me you are not just a bystander
you are as special as anyone could be
who has a story worth hearing
and a love worth giving.

we grew up

i miss how my laughter
used to echo on alley ways
how you could hear
how happy i really was

i miss how i knew who i am
talking all about my dreams in life
having a plan i was determined to follow

i miss my friends
how i always seem to be able to relate to them
bring me back to the days
where we thought we could do anything
and everything under the sun

my friends
could be just another group of people
i would pass by and forget about
because that's how life is

take me back to where the only problem i had
was what flavor of ice cream i should have
or where should i eat, what clothes i should wear

take me back when i was still innocent
knowing nothing about the world
how painful it is trying to live

because this wasn't how i imagined
growing up would be.

it’s raining today

i’ve always loved the rain.
but today was different.
today the rain wasn’t hydrating me,
the rain was drowning me.
poundingpoundingpounding
so hard yet
i couldn’t get up,
just laid there under a smoky sky
a monotone grey
letting the raindrops hit me,
one by one a pinprick
a sting
of the cold water on my bare stomach.
i couldn’t speak, couldn’t move,
couldn’t breathe,
yet at least it reminded me
i am still alive.
-a.c.b

can you guess how i’m feeling today??

and then there was you

i've never been inlove before
nor have i wanted to.

i have never been the one to dream about love
to want it, and think how lovely it could be.

i have never slept in the a.m.
just so i could to talk to someone
about literally everything and anything

i have never held a man's hand
that wasn't my father's
or my kid brother's

i have never felt so much happiness
so much that my heart could burst

and i've never felt pain like this before
nor have i cried myself to sleep because of a boy

i never thought that receiving a letter or playlist
could be as romantic as all those sappy movies

i have never gotten my heart broken before

until you.

broken body clock

i know this isn't poetry
but i'm tired of
relying too much
on coffee and
sleeping pills
