Are you ashamed of me?

At first, I thought I understood the idea behind the lie.

But now that I’m left to suffer it’s no longer justified.

I don’t want you to be a victim of this terrible disease,

but I simply cannot be

what

you

seek.

Would you love me more if I wasn’t me?

Is there something I can do, to make me more available to you?

End

The constant fear

Of you

leaving

Keeps me awake

But

sometimes i wonder

If maybe.

Maybe it’s not too late.

Watery words and dry cites

Writing poems is difficult for some

Some including me.

Some days the words flow out of me

Like water from a stream

Some days I suffer drought

And my city goes without.

The days I notice are the dryest

Have no patterns or rhythms

I wish they did

for I’m unaware

who

hid

them.

You

Well, not actually you.

Learning to live without you is simply too hard to do.

You don’t seem to be having a difficult time

Finding a lover

You cannot be replaced.

It leaves me to wonder

Was I just another?

I wish I would’ve told the guard outside my heart.

I sit here, torn. I’m torn apart, but I’ll go after. You.

Can you see it too?

The open skies cannot untie our eyes.

You’re the one I choose.

You’re the one I never want to lose.

Told me so.

You left me

I knew you would

But somehow when I looked away, you crept into my heart

I wish I was yours

I wish you wanted me.

I can’t imagine anyone in your place

It feels wrong

Because I will

Never

stop waiting for you.

You

Well, not actually you.

Learning to live without you is simply too hard to do.

You don’t seem to be having a difficult time

Finding a lover

You cannot be replaced.

It leaves me to wonder

Was I just another?

I wish I would’ve told the guard outside my heart.

I sit here, torn. I’m torn apart, but I’ll go after. You.

Can you see it too?

The open skies cannot untie our eyes.

You’re the one I choose.

You’re the one I never want to lose.

I wish they did

for I’m unaware

who

them.

I’d give you mine

If you said it’s raining over there,

I’d give you my umbrella

if I was in a tsunami.

If you were on the edge of a cliff

I’d use myself to push you up

Even if it meant pushing myself down

For you are me

Just as I am you.

As long as you are alive

Living.

I could not be happier.

Shame

At first, I thought I understood the idea behind the lie.

But now that I’m left to suffer it’s no longer justified.

I don’t want you to be a victim of this terrible disease,

Nevermind my thoughts

How crazy am I to think of another

After all that we have done for each other

But of course I must end this

Because you didn’t mend this.

You didn’t even try.

I think I would’ve rather it die.

Empty poems

When I write,

I write my thoughts.

But if I wrote what I was thinking,

this empty page would stare at me.

Anger and resentment filling it with words.

Words only I can see.

And they’ll think I’m going crazy.

Because,

I am.

They’ll see.

Their Words

Stab into me,

Like little sharp knives.

They think they don’t hurt me,

Because of the film I insert into my eyes.

Little do they know that the smile on my face is full of lies.

Apathy and lack of emotion are all in my skies.

But when you awoke.

The skies got shaded, with a little blue cloud.

Now it’s easier to fake.

If I’m even faking it at all.
