“What did you do?”

I drank an iced coffee

At a completely unreasonable hour

And am now oaying the prics

“What did you do?”

I made a playlist

With artists that have nothing to do witb each other

And I’m playing it on loop

“What did you do?”

I wrote a poem

And honestly,

It really sucks...

Lovers’ Cheesy Poetry

With the night comes darkness but also stars

But as chessy as it sounds, you were the stars

The only star, actually

But that was enough

Because your burning glow

Was warmer than the Sun

I would have never met you

If I didn’t relapse

If I didn’t collapse

And I would break down again

A thousand times even

If it would mean I’d get to keep you

Till the very end

(On a completely unrelated note,...

Classroom Crushing

I look at you and I swear every mystery of the universe falls into place

Every galaxy that is slowly dying starts to reform

The stars begin to shine again in your honour

The moon looks whiter than the pearls you have for teeth

The sun emits light for the sole purpose of making your skin glow

The teacher stands before the class

He begins to check attendance

When I hear your name I think of chur...

You.

You were all I ever wanted

You were the sun and moon

The clouds and the stars

You were everything that made my head spin and the earth revolve

Your early morning kisses

Would awaken me from my dreams

That’s what I told myself

As I went to sleep

Your little heartfelt notes

Would make me feel loved

An unfamiliar feeling

That I knew would be enough

But you never came

With my early morning kisses

My horror story

The horrible entity is me

I could sugarcoat but what good point would there be?

So now the question is,

How do I defeat me?

What do I do to set myself free?

I write a few poems

Sounds simple but it’s true

Because not every horrible enity

Is as horrible as it seems

Some lurking beasts

Are simply misunderstood...

This

Feels like

Dying just

To wake up in

A place you once knew

But never called your home

Because your home is a place

Where wishes and horses can race

But dreams will never rise and take flight

And here makes you feel like dreaming is life

Nothing

“What did you do?”

“Nothing.”

This time at least

This time I just sat with my head betwixt my knees

To erase the image from my brain

To pretend that everything was still the same

That I was getting better and wouldn’t resort to that pain

“What did you do?!”

Nothing, I swear!

I just thought about it, you know

Thought about how it would feel

How perfect it would be

The line is so straight

Stupid little love thoughts from 2023 me

I thought we were meant to be

Oh the irony

That “be” is a verb

And together,

We never did anything

We were never compatible

Never quite clicked

But I in my young stupidity

I thought we’d sail our ship

And I’ll still read our texts tonight

And I’ll still cry over you

Even though you’ve moved on

And found someone new

And I’ll remember you when I look at the horizon

And I’ll feel like falling do...

Work a nine to five

Contemplate at night

Dripping faucets’ water

Is your favourite lonely pleasure

Give up all your dreams

Swim in depth so deep

Pay your bills each week

It’s just drippy faucets’ water

Forget to pray to God

Who cares, he’s not in charge

Tithes are for the weak

Liks dripping faucets’ water

Evaluate your mental state

Therapy costs too much anyways

You are drippy faucets’ water

Y...
