Platonic Soulmates

TheQuillPen

1 min read

You’re deeply depressed

I’m a total mess

We both have families

That leave us kinda stressed

So we spend our time in the dark

Texting and scrolling

Laughing together

Over stupid memes you show me

I text you late at night

When you know I can’t sleep

You text me in the mornings

‘Cause I know you need me

We both have a bout of depression

In 2020, late may

In our empty apartments

That drive us...

From: The Love of your Life

Dear passed lover,

Don’t pass just yet,

Let your spirit bless this event

We have come today to honour your life

To weep for you this cold winter night

Dear passed lover,

Don’t pass just yet,

The kids would like to smell your scent

Their cherry blossom scented cries

Weep for you with all their might

Dear passed lover,

Don’t pass just yet,

Your friends are here to grieve your end

They loved you so...

Unwanted

1 min read

I was trying to be what you wanted

But nothing ever quite does it

I work myself to my bone

But still my love is unrequainted

I milked myself of blood and tears

But still you didn’t seem to care

I was trying to be what you wanted

Now I’m somebody nobody wants...

Where fireflies take flight

Deep below my feet

Last Summer

TheQuillPen

1 min read

The pastures behind the barn,

Where the ground is too wild to farm

Stands grasses taller than me

They stretch farther than I can see

Last summer was wild

Like the weeds in that field

Parties after parties

There was sex, drinks, and pills

In the barn before the field

Peer pressure ruled with fear

Innocence was lost

In preparation for freshman year

I lost something on that day

Not in tthe barn h...

The bread of Life

I see you over there with your worn out smile

We know you’re not alright

So let’s talk for a while

We both know what it’s like to feel incomplete

A worn out husk longing for something

And I know someone, who’s everything to me

A man who’s life was laid down for free

You can find him in the word, for he is the word

He brings a joy,

Of which you’ve never heard

So give him a chance,

Let him in

Living Poison

TheQuillPen

1 min read

I think life might be my poison

Everyday feels like a dream

Hazy and unclear

Distorted in every scene

Echoing voices with cruel things to say

About me and my dreams

Choosing to live

Wanting to die

Two different agendas grappling inside

I distract myself

With endless stupor

Sipping white wine

I always want more

But one day the pain will catch up to me

In vain, I pray agaisnt the reckoning

But as t...

Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover

TheQuillPen

1 min read

Never trust a survivor until you know what they did to survive.

And never trust a preacher until you know how much they’ve lied

And never hate your mother until you know how much she’s tried

And never judge a person until you know how much they’ve cried

Life is but a mirage

You see only what they want you to see

So never judge a mirage

By what you see immediately...

Moral Conduct

TheQuillPen

The streets are empty,

So you run a red light.

There’s no one watching,

So you steal an extra slice.

It’s just you in the room,

So you watch porn all night.

It’s just Instagram,

So you lie about your life.

Your doctor isn’t here,

So you give yourself more wine.

Nobody’s watching,

So you don’t do what’s right...

When You Never Leave Your Bed

TheQuillPen

1 min read

Lazy and bored,

A bed-loving sort

A master procrastinator

With a mind like a calculator

Always calculating the things I need to do

But never attempting to finish a few.

I scroll mindlessly

Shop for things I don’t need

Look at texts I won’t read

As I avoid me

And all of my problems

That I always ignore

Writing poems is the only thing

That leaves me less sore

But then I read some sad books

That ...
