heartbreak (Remove filter)
I am capable of love
Words can be weaponised
Be careful with the words you use
What might be a throw away sentence to you
Forever imprinted, taunting anothers mind
When you chose these words
Did you remember the things about me which only you know
The secrets I don't share freely
But entrusted with you
People have preconceived notions
Ready to label and validate assumptions
You saw behind the mask
Y...

To have loved how we loved
To have loved how we loved
Eyes locked, skin tender
To have loved how we loved
Hands clasped, lips traced
To have loved how we loved
Sea of brown, sea of blue
To have loved how we loved
Bodies ignited, spirits calm
To have loved how we loved
Unsung harmong, fragile peace
To have loved how we loved
Hidden darkness, returning comfort...

Heal my wounds
I pull the black dagger
From my heart
The weight of my armour
Now a fluid mercury
Not a poison to me
A release
I steep to one knee
Chest free
A pour of soft gold down your slender arm
Sheds the silver mercury away
Fills the wound that I
Cast upon myself
Your fingers brush me
As though they are lillies in my garden of Eden
Lustful inhale of...

Was It Worth It?
I can't help but wonder, was it worth it?
Was your transient moment of pleasure worth making me feel like shit?
It seems to be a never-ending cycle of me losing my mind over you,
Your words display such innocence while your actions prove they're not true.
Defending, deflecting, giving every reason instead of the selfish thoughts in your head,
Unintentionally cementing my newfou...

Ancient Hearts
We are ancient hearts
A beat so strong
We are the petals of love
A touch so gentle
We are the faintest shadows
A dance so deft
We are the flicker of candles
A flame so gentle
We are the trace of embers
A light so dim
We are one
A fate so destined
We are absent
A presence so cold

A tapestry of lives gone by
A tapestry of lives gone by
Rich threads from what we cry
Frays of the past evoking
Gaze of the future corrupting
My stream carries its fallen leaves
Its purpose only defined by what it receives
Broken mind and beaten guilt
A blackened soul only I have built
Tears like beads down a porcelain doll
She is there to no longer make me whole
As I possessed a poiso...

Rise/Fall
In the sun you hear me cry
In the moon you see me stand
I rise to your call
I fall to your mercy
My hands rest on your knees
My head bowed in your heart
Too much for me
Too much for sin

Face in the crowd
I pick your face out from the crowd
And you're all I can see
As we pretend to be strangers
I waited the one hour train journey
Hoping you would join me
But you never did
We remained separated by a single carriage
Little did I know you had far more in your arsenal to separate us
A Trident like deterrent
How did it come to this?
Well actually I do know the answer...

Day 2
"idk, but we can try"
what does that mean?
and why do you continue to
contact me?
W H Y ?
you said you want NO ONE.
then that includes me,
my time,
my love,
my care,
and my company.
If you want to be truly free,
then be free without
any parts of me.
so i did not respond,
but i am tempted.
how would that work?
how would we......

Day 1
Yesterday, was day one.
A day of being alone,
thinking.
Thinking about how my mind
has yet to understand what happened.
what makes you everything they want,
but not wanted at the same time.
what is it?
for someone to bring you in on their journey,
then blame the journey for the reason
they no longer need you .
they need freedom,

can't fix love (Matheus L. Duarte)
You hammered nails into our bed’s headboard
The wardrobe’s frail, but you said you could fix that too
And I answered: “do we even have glue?”
You always complain when I try to think forward
But monday’s gonna rain, what if we have to buy more?
Who’s driving to the store?
Isn’t it dangerous to drive in the storm?
Isn’t it best for us to just conform that... some things cannot b...

Uncalculated Coitus
You touch me with your cold hands that have touched too many.
Finally making me feel seen and desirable.
As I gaze intently into your eyes, I notice you are not searching to see my soul.
You are simply seeing the face and lips that lie before you.
I hold hunger to be in your world, you only hold hunger to be in my body.
Although when you hold me tight, everything seems to be alrigh...

she's so pretty
I watch you with her,
I’m stupid for caring,
I watch you with her,
Gosh she’s so pretty,
It’s not fair,
Her hair,
Her eyes, her smile,
She drowned you,
She pulled you in,
I’m scared you’re stuck in her trap,
But gosh she’s so pretty,
On the outside and within,
I see why you fell for her,
It would be so easy,
I wish you would fall for me,
I understand th...

scattered constellations
the walls are crashing,
my head is banging,
I hear them in the back laughing,
my pants too big,
my stomach too chunky,
why should I care?
I don't compare to the accepted chicks,
the ones with perfect hips,
straight teeth, clear skin,
I have jagged fingertips,
my cheeks are bare,
my lashes staggered,
all my feelings are shattered,
why would he choose me?
he would never choose me,
th...

where we once stood
can’t you tell by my face?
i romanticized the idea of you,
putting you on a pedestal,
we were surrounded by people but alone,
everyone thought we were incredible,
but i could tell by the tone,
of your voice,
by the look,
in your eyes,
your perspective was changing,
and so was mine,
scared to be alone with you,
felt alone next to you,
now alone without yo...

Treading Water
We sit across from eachother
Our hands clasped tightly over the table
And in this moment we have everything
And yet we have nothing at the same time
Eyes locked on our targets
I can see your soul
It's calling me like a beacon
And I feel awoken
We lean in closer to this moment
Feeding off the energy like vultures to flesh
I could drown in those blue eyes
If I ...

cobwebs
there’s cobwebs
on your side of the bed.
not the same bed,
across state lines
in a town by the coast
where no one knows our names.
I am afraid to disturb them,
to make a space as unfillable
as the miles between my window
and the haunting moon.
I am afraid most days,
as memory slides into silk shadows
lurking on the edges of rest
like cobwebs
on your side

Wednesday
Wednesday was always our day
The only constant across the many variations of “us”
Drinking as friends in the pub
Drinking as “friends” in the pub
Your hand on my knee in the pub
Definitely more than friends in the pub
Kissing in the pub
Sharing our scars in the pub
Falling in love in the pub
Laughing less in the pub
Difficult conversations in the pub
Crying in the ...

The splinter inside me
The memory of your love remains like a splinter inside me
I can get by now most of the time, with it undetected
But every so often it will still catch on something and snag
The essence of you has gone through me like a thread through the eye of a needle
I continue my life, with you stitched into everything that I do
It gets heavy, carrying around the weight of this loss
I remin...

Home is where the heart is
We have something
I know this because I keep trying to tell myself it's nothing
To help me walk away
But we always come back like the tide to the shoreline
Coming back to you is like coming home
Coming home in the dark of night when you've left the light on
The rush of warm air that greets you as you step inside
Close the front door behind you
Home
You were my home

Oxymoron
How can one be so consumed by emptiness
Isnt that an oxymoron
The presence of your absence is felt always
We talk in terminal language
Yet it still feels unfinished
A connection was made which cannot be undone
I am forever changed
Your love is not unrequited
See there are things we still share

Last Lies
I told you I wouldn’t write you any more poems,
And in that, I lied
For don’t you know
You’ll always be the apple of my eye
However this poem is different, it’s unlike mine
I mixed others I’ve read
Hoping you’ll someday see what has been said
May you read the rhymes and know it’s me
But the mix-up of phrases I wanted you to see
That despite my best efforts
The...

Desperate Despair
I am trying to move on
As I’ve realised this time you’re truly gone
But what am I supposed to do
When everything reminds me of you?
Every day, I have been searching
For you, my lonely heart has been yearning
With a pit in my stomach and a lump in my throat
I found your account and now I know
All my suffering has been in vain
My broken heart and all my pain
I...

Lost Love
Words cannot express the pain
I feel at your hands once again
My entire heart has been torn apart
Smashed on the ground into tiny shards
Like the Christmas ball that bore our names
Scattered over the floor, all in vain
And while I hurried to pick up the sharps
I looked up only to watch you laugh
In my desperate attempt to fix what’s broken
For you to tell me I’m...
