Sometimes I go back in time
Like we’re stuck on repeat, like we’re stuck in this melody
And every melody is timeless
I’m so done with wasting time
Let me sing you into eternity
But nothing too close to the truth
I wanna lose myself, throw me in the pit of your fire
I’ll be whatever you like
I don’t wanna be alone for the night
But it wouldn’t be enough
It’s getting harder and harder to breathe

(These are multiple different poems)
In English we say:
You’ve changed
In poetry we say:
You are the waves to my ocean
Every time I feel your peace you come rushing at me once more
Wiping me off my feet
Leaving me to drown on my own
But when the calmness comes once again
I can’t help but think to myself that I’ll be strong enough to handle you next time
I’ll be more prepared
But I ne...
[actually using song lyrics by others and some of my poem lines. some poems are not published yet. also, quoted lines are from songs. this is kinda bad 😂]
“This thing called love
can be so cold.”
Guess I might be freezing,
but you’re left untold.
“It’s like you’ve been replaced
by a tattoo of your name.”
I should’ve been smart,
and considered him vain.
“Know you don’t care,
but I can pretend t...
I channel so much anger into my poems, I fear I am abrasive, I hate and I hate, and then I drop the pen the moment my heart lights up, when a smile creeps up on my face and there's a spark in my eyes that I can't erase, there is so much good, but that's not poetic, so much brings me joy that I would never dare immortalise, would never stain with my words and my high pitched voice, but there is so ...
Blink and then we're out of here, blink and there's tears in your eyes, blink and we'll swallow our pride, get God on our side, so that safe place was a lie, didn't really take me by surprise, it was always gonna be one of us that dies, maybe we'll find some allies and look into their eyes, we'll see a reflection of red and blue, do those colours mean anything to you? There'll be black and red, th...
if the problem persists over many places and times, perhaps you were the problem after all
if you don’t know how to be wrong, then learn. no one wants to be friends with someone who cannot accept their mistakes
if you eat when you’re bored, maybe you’re not bored at all but understimulated and sensory-seeking
in a perfect world, no one would have flaws, and a flawless world is a very boring one...
i’m making something similar, but i’m using the first line of ten different songs.
remember i’ll always love you, you
cold bones, yeah, that’s my love
habits i’m trying to kick, can’t get over it
girl, perfectly her, broken and hurt
i’m in love with you
i’ve never known someone like you
it’s been a couple months
sunlight dances off the leaves
out on our own
you haven’t been good...
It’s little eye care what path I take,
But I shall find the sullen rocks and skies,
After the rain has ceased, and still,
I should not cry aloud, I could not cry.
‘Tis been said that some have died for love,
And from the heavens, the clouds did part.
But I shall love my crooked neighbor,
With my crooked heart.
You were the wind and I the sea,
When I am dead, and over me,
April shakes out her ra...
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day,
For nature’s first green is gold
And summer’s lease hath too short a date.
Before Eden sinks down to grief
And dawn subsides into day,
Let thy eternal summer never fade
For neither the angels above
Not the demons under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Anna bell lee
Nor can death brag that thou wand rest in his shade, when i...
