Parts of You

I want a smile

That appears unknowingly.

One that spreads across his face,

Like the sunset in the sky,

Every time he hears my name.

 

I want eyes

That won’t turn away

When I show my scars.

Ones that can see

Through the walls I put up.

 

I want a voice

That will support me

And encourage my dreams.

One that knows what words

Will bring me back to realit...

Walls

I built my walls,

Denying their existance,

Defending them,

When I no longer could.

 

I grew comfortable,

In my self created,

Safe Space.

 

No one could hurt me,

'Cause no one could get in.

Couldn't learn to rely on them,

'Cause I couldn't trust them.

 

But you,

With you,

Everything's different.

Everything seems

So much easier.

The clench,

Unloveable

I have many scars

You can’t see in the light

Behind my smile

Is a world of pain

 

Constant battle

With myself

Whether it’s worth it

To try anymore

 

‘Cause in the dark

I introduced you

To every part of me

Showed you everything

 

When the sun came up

The truth came out

And without a doubt

I’m unloveable

 

Should’ve known

Band-Aids

Those words

All the ones I wrote

Like band aids

Across the wounds

You left all over me

 

All the words

That flooded out of me

Aligning themselves

In comprehendible lines

And organized stanzas

 

They helped dry my tears

Allowed me to forget

Gave me the strength

To move forward

Providing a closure

That didn’t require you

 

And I forgave myself

Trust Me

Trust Me

(My thoughts on joining the LDR club when I started uni... But he moved with me in the end)

 

 

I am terrified.
My skin is a semi-permanent tsunami above
These Earth-quaking bones.
I am terrified of being alone. 
Not only as the Sun sets and then rises again,
But the empty, aching hollow that
Fills my chest when
I think about you gone.
When I say I am scared to be alon...

Flower of Love

Half a flower
is more beautiful than none at all
An incomplete bloom
stil leaves room for
more heart and love
A dormant bud can lead
to a fulfilled dream
A single petal still smells 
just as lovely as the whole flower of love
An island is still connected by the ocean floor
to the rest of the world
It is joined to the heavens 
by the air in between
The rocks and stones 
and grass and ...

Little of Your Love

Its okay if you don't want to fall again

Love was hurtful

So you said again

Maybe its true

I feel your pain

How will I know

When I always abstain

Make me experience love

My heart cries

Make me feel love

My soul dies

Alone I have been

Looking like a Wanderer

Reality have seen

Not like a Slumberer

Searching for the perfect heart

HeartLovePoemShort poems

A LIGHT in the dark

I would love to write about the : ) and lols

I would love to write about heaven instead of hell

I would love to write about those who rise instead of fell

I would love to write the life of a man who doesn’t dwell

On the negative instead of the positive reactions

On the hopelessness instead of the hope that comes through passion

On the hate instead of the love that’s everlasting

I Wish

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a heart...it betrayed me one too many times... I love too deeply. And care too excessively... Then I hurt! And the hurt is like so many hurts I have endured...yet so unlike any... Each time it's new...somewhat unique in its anguish...lingering... Stalking me during the day...and as night falls so does my reserve... Proclaimed by the world as a 'strong woman' if only ...

Fairytale

Away, I dream of last thoughts and feelings

That he introduced to me

Not even my first love had a clear understanding

Past experiences lift my senses

Trying to leave it to an old palate

He is foreign

My heart is open an awaiting

To let me love and be accepting

Blood is chilled

As he

Brings roses to my cheeks

Only fearing the past

Seeing it return in related situ...

Uncertainty

 

 

I'm not sure how to tell you.
Three words are harder than I expected.
They lie in my texts and rest in my head,
My heart is too busy being in
Love with you. I think I said it.
Don't freak, I just don't think
I can repeat it. Just
Say it to me first.
I love you.

A heart that’s pure,

Love that is gentle,

What great magnitude and depth you possess,

It’s an honor to know you, 

 

Seeing you grow ?

Viewing life through your eyes ?

HUMBLE as they come

The caterpillar has transformed ?

Why are you afraid to face yourself?

Amidst of the conflict i took the risk

Rejection its all I got

Notes in the Margins of a Lover’s Poem

Slightly runny yolks with sizzling edges

Komodo freshly brewed to bold perfection 

Heavenly scents waft through our place 

I oversleep; you don’t judge; instead, you

cook my eggs just the way I like them.

Slow dances in our socks on kitchen tiles

Bike rides under shady oaks for miles

Beach picnics, candlelit and sunset-kissed

The breeze blows out our candles; you try

Standing

Where do I stand in your life

is it beside you 

or is it out of sight

if I walk away

will you be the one 

to come get me that day 

I might be leaving and won’t come back 

so don’t realize you want me 

when my heart has already turned black 

I wish it was easy to say 

but am I where I stand 

like the other day?

Shy Guy

{Shy Guy}

 

 

He was a little bit of

a shy guy who seemed

to keep to himself

besides talking to a

few of his co-workers

where he worked at 

 

 

And as the neighbor

next door to him saw

him all the time he

reminded her of a

cute fuzzy bear that

played in stars wars

called ewok because

his cheeks was

cut out my lungs (you stole my breath)

my breath left me

on a day of cold and color

against your turned back

white face, white mist

under the beat of your wings

singing the song of the swan

 

snow falls down

through a world of stolen breath

a feather finds its way

beside a snowflake

curled in my palm

i wish on a white and silent world

that you would take my heart

the way you took my lungs

mentally unframed

losing my mind
lost and trying to find

but what am i looking for?
knocking on each closed door

stuck wondering "who is the real me?"

smiling through this misery
but then i met you - 
my sadness, distant memory
and i didn't have a clue, my heart destined for you

happiness then truly gained

The Bridges I Never Burn

All the goodbyes Ive never said

They haunt me, like some unfinished business. 

Im always wondering who is away from me, that is not supposed to be. 

Who did I cast away after prides were hurt?

Where are those who hesitantly walked away, while they looked back and noticed I wasnt following?

 

Oh, who are you kidding?

You give way too many chances. 

Face it.

With some, you...

i know we have our differences
but we sort them out
no distance taken
no time taken
can give me another one like you.

i am not perfect
but with you i am complete
you fill the gaps
and make me a wrap.

however angry you get
no matter what your mindset
no one can ever take your place 
only i run the race.

but you give me a push

One night, i was cruising in my porsche, with my music blaring, When i noticed this fine girl stood staring.

She was so beautiful, real sexy too,
She approached my ride, right on cue. She knocked on my window and asked for a ride, I smiled at her and happily replied,

Girl you're the one i dream about,
You're the one i cant do without,

what i wanted to do with my life,

discovering love,

3 years ago,

accepting my body

Envied

With all the hope and envy in the world, I saw the most in your eyes.

You loved life but yet hated the outcome.

You loved brown eyes but yet hated what you saw in mine.

You loved me but yet hated how much you did.

You loved to hope but hated to envy -

Yet you did.

Lines I wrote while very upset:

 

Im worthless to you and rich to everyone else. Why?

 

Can you hear me screaming? My lungs are bleeding. 

 

I’m not even in the water but I’m drowning. 

 

We’re going no where. Ever. It’s a standstill.

Inescapable. 

Im trapped. 

 

I can can bang on the walls but to you it just sounds like a knock on the door. 

I can scream until my breath runs short and my lungs hurt but to you it just sounds like a whisper. 

My eyes think it’s an open door and that I can walk right through but my heart shows me that it’s bullet proof glass and I’m only going to hurt myself if I try to leave.

Him. #1

I never knew How beautiful brown eyes were until I stared into his. 

I never knew that I liked high defined cheekbones until I purposely made him laugh just so I could admire him. 

I never knew tattoos looked so good on caramel brown skin. 

I never knew I could fall in love with him.
