It isn’t the best but I thought I’d share one I made :)

Eyes of Aquamarine,
With wings unseen,
The ocean beckons to you,
And yet you stay through
Your days and nights
In a place filled with screams and fights.
To some, it isn’t understood,
Your presence brings good;
To those around you,
To those, who have lost and withdrew.
Always bringing a smile,
Something I haven’t seen in a long while,
May the sky fill your dreams,
So you may fly across the water that gleams
With the warmth of the sun,
And the foam of waves on the run.
Eyes of Aquamarine,
Unveil your wings once unseen.
Let yourself be free,
And may you find your joy and glee.

I like this one a lot.

wrote this with a friend without talking. i just shoved a piece of paper in her face in the middle of a boring class.

- i know
make me see you through your eyes
help me to see through all the lies
some thing here must be true
even when im not sure what to do

you tell me every night in bed
all the thoughts running through your head
but really all i can do
is continue to love you

make you see yourself through my eyes
so that i can help you see through all the lies
nothing here is not true
even when i know exactly what to do
- k & e

Thanks for sharing all these :)

What If

What if I was standing,
Right in front of you.
Would you, could you,
Do that thing
I need someone to do?

Knowing I can't ask for it,
Knowing I'm too shy?
Would you, could you,
Knowing I can't
Look you in the eye?

Would you try?

What if I was talkative?
An avalanche of words!
Endless talking, chattering,
Just working up the nerve,

To make a close connection,
Not another fair-skies friend
My tongue just won't stop twisting
Long enough to let you in

An avalanche of words
Largely fake, and largely empty
Would you reach inside the snow
And within the flurries find me?

If I don't hug you, hug me first, and I'll hug you again.

If I politely pull away,
Just pull me right back in.

If I can't think of what to say,
Just tell me everything.

If I don't know what to do, just let me be with you.

What if I was busy,
Would you know that you could bug me?

What if I stood still,
Would you know that you could hug me?

What if I look down,
Would you know I want to see you?

What if I can't cry
Would you know how much I need you?







Original Version

If I was standing
Right in front of you.
Would you, could you,
Do that thing
I need someone to do?

Knowing I can't ask for it.
Knowing I'm too shy.
Would you still,
Even if I cannot
Look you in the eye?
Would you try?

Or if I was talkative
An onslaught of words
Nonstop talking, chattering
Just working up the nerve

To make
An authentic connection
Not another fair-skies friend
But my tongue won't stop twisting
Long enough to let you in

Long enough to really see you
Long enough for you to see
A way to make a real connection
If you simply want to flee

From the onslaught of words
Largely fake, largely empty
Could you reach through the show
And within the silence find me?

Underneath all these words
And all this fear
I'm so lonely
Don't you know?

If you care,
If you see,
Would you do this thing for me?

If you could,
Though you can't,
I'll just ask how it would be

If you could,
If I was
Standing in your sight

Would you just reach out and touch me?
Draw me near, and hold me tight?
Don't let me go.

I just want to know.

If I was standing
Right in front of you.
Would you, could you,
Look into my eyes
Share a smile
Sit together, for a while?

And when we hug
Would you hug me
Like a real friend
Would hug you

Not like someone who's afraid
Or someone who doesn't trust you

Not like someone with a rep
To maintain, who plays it cool
Not like someone who's unsure
Who's still deciding what to do

Would you let me feel your heart
Show me what you really feel
And help me do the same
Drop the act and be really real

If you could,
If I was
Standing in your sight

Would you please reach out and touch me?
Draw me near, and hold me tight?
Don't let me go.

I just want to know.

If you would, so would I,
I would tremble, but I'd try
Yeah, for you, I'd do it, too.

If I could,
If you were
Standing in my sight

If you needed it, I'd touch you,
Draw you near, and hold you tight.
Not let you go.

I just want you to know.

<3

In my own mind there's things I cannot find
i try to breathe like they tell me but it's mute
it wears me down tells me to kick the boot

If I told you that you make me ache with sadness
would you care or say it's madness?

Every day is darker still I push myself up try not to spill
the lantern dim inside my soul I try to speak but out pours coal
i cannot take the dying joy cursed on me by a heartless boy

Dramatic is what some people call me
say i only cry when there's those to calm me
if you believe these words true I can't do much but bid you ado

Cry a lot as I may my heart is always here to stay
you might not understand my plight but I hope
with all my heart, you'll turn on the light

Blurry eyes and aching heart
i just want to see again.

I really like this, Mercy, especially this part:

"If I told you that you make me ache with sadness
would you care or say it's madness?"

Beyond Reason

I wonder if I would be different
Had I learned to walk slower
Would I land softer
If I fell from a shorter distance

I ponder often the implications
Of a pulse that flutters endlessly
In a ribcage that aches for its host

How hard a heart thuds
For soft and lush affections
Be them any kind
They never fail to rouse emotion

I run so quickly
That I never notice the ground
Until my blood fills the grooves
Of cold cement
That never cushions

Do I curse the pain
That comes as the price
Or take it with a coarse grain of salt

No matter twinge and regret
There is not a single thing
That could take away
The desire within
To love beyond reason.

Ooo...I relate. Love beyond reason. Been there and that's very poignant. <3 <\3 <3
Cross of Insecurity

Unnecessary apologies and
Self-fulfilling prophesies
Punctuate your charismatic speech

From the mouths of those you know
Constant reassurances flow
But your self-doubt is always out of reach

How long 'til
They start to bend?
How long until they break?

If two worlds sat
On Atlas' back,
How many rounds would they make?

How long 'til
They start to bend?
How long until they break?

If two worlds sat
On Atlas' back,
How many rounds would they make?



Instead of "I think," we need "I know."
Instead of "I'll wait," we need "I'll go."
Instead of "I'm sorry," we need "I told you so."

It's imminently regrettable
Though people think you're incredible,
Louder are echoes of voices from long ago.


You will die
On the cross
Of your insecurity

Someday soon
If you won't
let it go

There's no need
To give in
To your insecurity

You're becoming
Your own
Stumbling stone

Will you lean, again
On the strength within
So that someone can lean on you

Place your shield back down
Throw it on the ground
See the sunlight shining through

Will you lean, again
On the strength within
So that someone can lean on you

Place your shield back down
Throw it on the ground
See the sunlight shining through

Be the man they need you to.
Be the one they see in you.
Be the one they see in you.
Where

Are my glasses
I need them to see
I just got comfortable in my cocoon
Living alone has more benefits than issues, and
This is one of those issues
Is I can’t ask someone to go get my glasses
The cat
Useless
No thumbs
It makes me think of when
I would ask him for help
To find him two steps ahead of me
And it reminds me of when my grandmother said
Men like two things
To have a task
And to eat
Jessica, never date an Italian man
Except he was English and something else,
Welsh maybe
I can’t even remember
But I still really need to find my glasses

Like Smoke

It was July last year
Maybe a week in
It was when I got the news
About a friend

They died that day
Though I didn't know it.
Our world ended
There was no more

Time had to pass
For me to see
that there was nothing
Nothing, nevermore

Like smoke they came
Like smoke they got in my eyes
Like smoke they burned
Like smoke they were gone.

Now, it all has been forgotten
Like it never was.
Replaced by something meaningful
Like it was
Emo

This is a great poem
Emo

Refugee
The refugee was running
from a monster in their mind

r u n n i n g

not to a certain place

just away

looking for a refuge
a place the demons couldn’t find

their vision grew darker
they began to stumble
they began to doubt

but from the darkness
there appeared

friendly faces
with
lanterns

and encouraging words

This Year, as of Yet
The darkling night has spent its war
A broken world united
Our countries' faces stare gravely on
Down rows of chiseled granite

The fires of Hell are burning low
The media's respited
As gasping ghosts drag nations down
And seep through fogged disdain

We shake apart to save the weak
(Ignore the rising panic)
Precursors to the feared future
Dance callous through our minds

The end of Us will heal the world
But we are just too stubborn
And in dark times we realize
We're lonely, wretchèd creatures

Missed It


Though less often than in the past
i find its hard to breath
while less tasking in your light
yet just as heavy in your absence

Perhaps its all in my head
i'm uncertain how to move sometimes
cautious in the wake of pain I endured
i stall
question every move
inquire every emotion

Joy sparks anxiety
uncertainty over its existence
doubt over its true worth
ache in its path

I'd like to learn to live and breathe
sometimes i fear ive missed it
often I do
miss it

i don't know if this counts butt...

round, useful, important
leading, holding-[of our]brain, acknowledging
cranium, skull, ankle & toe holder, walkables
walking, running, standing
Flexible, curvable, & able to to stuff
foot/feet


Banana
yellow, delicious
curving, smiling, rotting
ring, ring! -banana phone!
Fruit


Bed
comfy, rectangular
sothing, comforting, tiring
“*yawn*,- i’m so tired.”

...so? r they good?
This is a poem i wrote about my friend/crush when he was ignoring me for no reason (we are friends again but im still hopelessly in love with him lol)


I love you
I love your stupid smile
I love your stupid face
I’ve loved you for a while
You cannot be replaced
I love the way you look at me
I love your stupid eyes
You think that i cant see you
I love that thats a lie
I hate when im not with you
I hate it to my core
Do you feel this way too?
Does your heart feel sore?
I love it when we laugh together
Or even when we cry
When we’re with each other
We could spread our wings and fly
I love feeling this way
But i hate it too
Because i always want you to stay
But you never do.
If we just stay like this
Holding in whats inside
I will never feel your kiss
And ill never be your bride
I hate when you dont text me back
It makes me feel alone
Loving you feels like crack
But turns my heart to stone
Please dont hold in what you feel
Stop making me want to cry
You make me think this love’s real
Which makes me want to die.
If we were to kiss
Would you pull away?
I can’t go on like this
I am not okay.

(Sorry its not great)

I honestly think this is kinda cute! I even tried to sing your poem as a song, but I have a terrible voice. Nice job, though
It’s very cheesy, but I wrote something



Love
When we talk I feel happiness
Whenever I see you I get tingles
A delightful and amazing feeling is what I feel when I think of you.

I love you, I wish I would dare too say it to you.

Love I love too feel love and I love too love you.

One day I will tell you, but for now my words are safe right here.
Love I love you
