I haven’t written to you in a while
Not sure if this means I’m moving on
Since I haven’t written much of anything lately but I haven’t written to you in a while.
And I don’t mean to him
John Brown died in 2019, it's sad and it's true.If he hadn't died, today he would've turned 52.We met at Bean Station Elementary School in 1979.We quickly became friends, he was a buddy of mine.
If you're wondering how long it took for a man to die after crashing a car, five days was how long it took.The car crash killed him and his ex-wife who was named Stacy Brooks.
He was called Bubby and he went to Heaven.He died in 2018 at the young age of fifty-seven.When we moved into my house in 1977, Bubby became our neighbor and he lived close to us.
I am so good at remembering
The pro of remembrance if you will
Which doesn’t mean I have a good memory
It means I’m bad at letting go
And sometimes our strengths are our weaknesses
Friends are souls but in two bodies
They are always with you
To stay close to you
They are your soul mates
There soul are together and souls
You sit and write with them
As soon as you capture them
Today is the first anniversary of the death of my friend.Sadly, on April the 8th of 2021, his life came to an end.He would give me rides to the grocery store.I'm sorry to say that he is not alive anymore.
Scent compelling and drawing me in
working had to find a way to your heart
trying to hide this like a fish swmming with no fin
if only I could buy love
darling, you'd be in my shopping cart
Mujer, mujer, oh dulce mujer
Mi amor, mi cuna, mi comienzo
En mi cuaderno diario
Cada día es tu día
Tú eres mi alma, mi pilar
Dear friend,
I know it has been two years now since you left.
I know I’ve had two years to let go, or move on, or to heal.
But the truth it’s that some scars are uglier than the wounds.
Life was coming to see you on weekends
When nights turned into dew drops on your car
When the sun seemed to rise before we had the chance to say goodbye to the moon.
I miss the days of aimless wandering
All it takes is one moment,
On second,
One thought
You don't have to want to. . .
Because all it takes
Is to feel like you have to
All it takes is one hand,
One voice,
My neighbor died on April 8, 2021 and his name was Joe.I learned about his death and I'm saddened to see him go.He wasn't just my neighbor, he was also my friend.It was sad when I learned that his life came to an end.
what do you do when your best friend
claims to not know you anymore
how do you mend
when your life is blown up
what do you do when your best friend
hasn't been a friend at all
She was a little bundle of joy that I brought home
A week old Golden retriever with shining golden coat
Short ears, a straight muzzle, and a feathery tail
Why I named her Paris I had no particular rason
We all know who is man's best friend
But who are our second best friend
Books books and more books for sure
Because they never change with time like people do
Each word and the sentence remains the same
i look back on the times
when i first told you
that i had, and still have
feelings for you
i was so goddamn happy when you said that
you liked me too, and i think you still do
I made you up
When I was a lonely kid,
You never talked to me
But you always listened,
When I was crying
You’d be there with me,
I'm grasping. Clenching.
My fists in sorrow.
As I keep loosing this sand through my fingers.
It cuts into my hand,
As I squeeze it even harder.
But as I do, I loose even more and my heart drops.
It’s been weeks since we spoken
I’m not sure if you care
Your friendship to me was dear
It’s been weeks since we spoken
I’m the one to blame
My mistake has caused our friendship to break
2:30AM: I say to you, I cannot bare to continue feeling this unloved, this unworthy of love. You said to me, “remember we are strong” as if it was something I could forget, but I had.
She is my best friend,
My only friend,
The one who never leaves.
In my mind
She’s a jailer
Funny that way coz she’s me.
You’re my best friend
And I’ll love you until the end
Even if you forget about me
I’ll never forget all of the memories
We’ve made new friends
laughing at nothing
feeling everything
our love a rose in spring
something has changed
we have changed
into something more
maybe it was how his hand felt right in mine
A real friend is heal to the wounds
A real friend is happiness to the sadness
A real friend is soul to the body
A real friend is colours to the rainbow
A real friend is heat to the fire
no matter where I go
a part of me always feels so alone
Something always tells me
don't get too comfortable
then they will see
they will see the shame
the guilt of fame
dancing around until laughter broke
made me your reason to smile
because I am a joke
call me a friend
but I think of myself as a jester
providing happy distractions without end
The epitome of cool when I was nine.
I kick the road behind me.
I never had the motivation until now.
I go faster, faster, faster
Til' I wobble,
But I stick with it
If I crash,
I don't mind
Just one month ago, you were walking around.But now you're dead and buried in the ground.So much can change in just the blink of an eye.You went too soon, forty-eight was too young to die.
My grandmother and his father were first cousins, and that made us related.When he died on the 3rd of June, his death wasn't something that I anticipated.When a person dies, it's something that people hate.
I was young. We were young,
Yet we planned our whole future for when we were adults.
We were going into 6th grade, middle school.
At the end of this fight, I will be victorious.
Saved by one and changed by many.
Horrible nights lead to great days.
Love, tears, scars, worry, it’ll be alright.
I tried
to save your heart.
I tried
to tell you that
he wasn't worth your time.
But, you didn't listen,
you rejected me.
Now your heart's all broken,
Will you still be here, when my fingers fall to pieces?
Broken glass beneath my toes, a reminder of my own fate.
Will you still listen, when the words mean nothing?
I'll never sleep again, if it means,
Getting to see you; to prolong my life,
By an indeterminable ammount of time.
However long it takes to know you made it home safe.
When did my feelings become second to yours? Why are my opinions wrong and absurd? When did my silence become your turn to speak? Why, to you, am I small and weak? Why am I bad even if I’ve done nothing to you? Why, when I give the world, do you a
I gazed at the ocean, just to see your face.
Shift the tides with a smile, the definition of grace,
Do even you know what's behind the mask you where?
Or are you a victim of your own existential dispair?
You emobody the vessel of pure isolation
what more of an effect could you embrace me with
for your friend has seduced the one who's given me life into a life of nevermore
and now we stand face to face
SOME inspiration of the virtual Lovers
comes from the distant inner worlds
brings you a shaft light of the heart
angelic soul that illuminates your insight
YOU know that nothing seems impossible
This is the story
Of a girl
Who had everything
But felt nothing
She wasn't beaten
She wasn't bullied
Her home life was fine
“Together forever”
“Together until the end of time”
That’s what we used to say
But every promises
Are meant to be broken
Everything has changed
We’re slowly getting further
You call her Mini
Spelt M-I-N-I
She’s The tallest of the bunch
While you’re the shortest
She sees right over you
You see right through her
"I've tried a long time to make myself care and
I just don't. So I'be given up. I might as well take
advantage of the benefits that come with that."
"And what are those benefits?" He asked.
Football lover here,
Tall, sarcastic, and charming
Yet sometimes cocky.
There are things I miss:
Our thought-provoking talks and
The little shows we watch.
Still, you continue
I don’t love him I care why can’t I just be friends with him?
Why do they judge and attack me for being friends with someone triple my age?
It felt like a thousand waves crashing into my body.
As I clung to anything I could.
A person.
My bed.
Like they were a lifeboat in the storm of losing you.
Hurray! Hurray!! Hurray!!! mark this dayEpsy i into the twilight sky of friendsYou are the brightest twinkle i witnessedher embracing smile, calm as a lake
Life has a way of tearing people down.
Whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally.
Sometimes we get so used to things tearing us down we don’t recognize when we do it to ourselves, or to other.
He is the best of the best.
No one can compare.
"Too bad he's just a dumb pancake," they say.
But he's not. He's more.
He is a creator.
He tells stories,
Builds worlds,
A person you trust
Gives a quiet hush
With nothing to had, to love or to lust
The person you know, gives a quiet hush
Of all the choices I have made
having you be a part of my life
was most definitely not one of them.
Yet,
you proved to be the most useful
and most grateful thing in my life.
It's been almost a year
That's three-hundred-sixty-five days
since the last time I saw you
Since the last time you had life inside you.
I remember the wires, the hoses, the machines
I met them in high school
And there was something about them
Something weird and amazing
The stories, Oh the stories that they have!
Many of the places, people, and things that they have seen
I met a girl once,
whose hair absorbed sunlight and face repelled it.
She said she was allergic to daisies and fireworks,
armpit fat and turmeric
I'm always smiling.
I am beautiful.
My heart is not broken.
I'm fine.
These are not tears.
I do not miss you,
nor do I need you.
dark nights,
laying in bed,
wanting the world to just
stop.
cocooned in a blanket,
silent tears,
or maybe
big
loud
sobs.
Next time I look in the mirror, I’m just gonna try to see me
Not some superficial image of who they want me to be.
If my eyes are deep dark brown, that’s what my momma gave me
If my lips are kind of full, well
"Class, I have some bad news for you today. I'm unfortunate to say Donald Rodis..."
Poetry, the drug, my glorious escape from the world.
Poetry, the high, my method of free expression.
Poetry, the teacher, how I unearth the mysteries of my complex mind.
My friend is suffering from a broken heart
And sometimes she doesn’t let it show
But I can see it when no one else looks
Or maybe she hides in plain sight
“The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.” -Cherry Wine, Hozier
The wine-red honey

Dear Rebecca,
You weren’t yourself the last time I saw you.
If you could read this now, I think you would agree.
To be fair, I don’t think I was truly myself either.
Dear Friend,
You are
Precious.
From you hair to you nose
Your freckles to your toes,
You were created for this,
You were created for life.
Dear Friend,
At first they're painful, but then they get sore
At first they're exciting, but soon start to bore
Yet people still stick them on their skin
Only rarely regretting their sin
Clear water
Clear skies
Green grass, sunshine
Warm rays hug skin
Gentle breeze blows by
Until the tide comes in
sun beats down
grass turns yellow
I was a young girl
Confused with the things
I had experienced and seen
I was too curious
I tried to experience love
So imaginative
Teardrop smile,She rolls with grace.Sad.Happy.Angry even.It rolls with grace,Your teardrop smile.
To that Fake Fricking Friend
I really, truly, hate you
But I love the heck out of you
You are my beautiful baby but girl you are a benevolent bi-

Who? Am? I? . . . :’(
(written by an ENFP)
Who am I? I say fuzzily . . .
A tear drips out of my eye, a single droplet.
I am the world’s savior I say . . .
Today, I made a mistake;
I looked where I should not,
and I discovered memories
that I think you forgot.
Sometimes I wonder...
all I can say is where did you go , you were doing so well
I wish you could see , if only you could tell
that red isn't blue and blue isn't red
but to you , you decided that fish tasted like bread
Dear friend,
How are you?
I must confess,
That mine eyes have not seen,
Your beautiful tress.
Of green leaves,
And long boughs,
And fresh, gentle touch.
I miss you,
Dear Grandma,
I'm doing fine. Thanks.
How are you?
...
How long has it been since I last wrote?
Couple weeks. yeah.

huh?

Freedom takes on various forms like fake friends do,
They change based on who they take a liking to.
When I am alone in a quiet place is where I feel tranquility,
As red falls, I can’t help but cry for days.
The five stages, a sign of hope, seems fake.How can you be happy when all decays?
Letter Poem- Dear Best Friends
Hey! How have you guys been?
I’m sorry we all couldn’t keep in touch.
Eyes close,
Wandering hands,
Fingers visualizing
Soft pricks,
Flabs of skin,
Rouch pad,
Desiring to-
Glimpse the tail whirl,
Hear babbling over commotion,
He is the fireplace
On the outside looking in..
Hate to tell ya but you aren’t much of a friend!
A friend is someone you can depend on,
You’ll learn what you’ve lost once it’s gone.
Dear best friend,
I already love you.
I'm in love with the way you smile when you look into the sky.
I adore the little wrinkles your nose makes when you laugh.
I love the melody of your voice.
The earth sits, bare.
How it wishes for there to be
One to bring water to the deserted field.
Let the seeds of the beautiful flowers and trees
Grow and grow until the bareness
can no longer be seen.
I will never mean as much to you as she does
And everytime I think of that my heart breaks to pieces
I haven't ever threatened to leave like she does
Or hope you hate yourself like she does
Silence is both a friend and an enemy.
It sings out when you are alone, laying over you like a blanket.
Its presence is either comforting or smothering, yet somehow both.
It is the empty gap after a risky action.
Dear Friend,
It's been so so long
I'm proud of how far we have come
I know it hasn't been easy and I know living can be hard sometimes
My twin sister, my dearest Mariah
Two minutes seemed to set the scene for our lives
You, by two, are my elder
And you are my muse
My other half, my dearest Mariah
I don’t want thousand of friend on FacebookNor do i want thousands of followers on InstagramI just want a real friend like youWho understands me like a cell diagram
Where did you go my friend?
You left me all alone in the cold
Your reasons I cannot comprehend
My feelings and thoughts I put on hold
We had each other once again
Old friends comforting our pain
Whenever you're down, my best friend,
When you feel as though the world is against you,
I'll be right there next to you.
And when you feel as though nothing matters,
Or that your burdens are too heavy,
To tussle with dangers and plight
An accomplice to help you through the night
A shoulder always ready for you to lean on
A shoulder always ready to cry on
So that two hearts may link as one
Because I love you, I understand if you are overwhelmed and can't get to the phone.
I do not expect all of you, all the time. Sometimes minds are else where and that's okay.
Just let me be there.
Because I love you…
I will bring you food at 3 in the morning.
Listen to you ramble about last night.
Remember the stories of of all the fake love you were hoarding,
From men who could never treat you right.
Darling I see you there with your big smile
It’s like you don’t have a care in the world
You’re good at school and have a great sense of style
You love your anime and your sweets
I had waited.
For.
The rain to stop.
But.
The sky stayed open.
And.
It did not seem.
Like
You would arrive
Sadly.
Then I found out.
That.
I dare not hope 'cause
I know it can't happen
Dreams aspired,
Broken, shattered.
I want to go back home
where we loved each other
Sure, money was tight
but we did all right
I have some errands I need to run
Not too exciting
But if you come
You will make it fun
Yes my love, do what you need to do
I am your helpmate
Here to assist
Because I love you
Love is caring for someone,
even if it isn’t reciprocated.
Love is helping someone,
even when it isn’t needed.
Love is blessing someone,
even though it isn’t known.
Love is being friend with someone,
Remember
When we first met
Darkness like a cloud
Suffocating me with a chain.
A prisoner
With an unknown sentence.
You stepped in then,
12:19 // smile.
You said "Hello"
Out of all the people in my life, you're the one that has taught me the most.
"Love yourself, before loving others", but how can you love when you're only a ghost?
When you wander Earth all on your own,
I am you and you are me.
My best friend,
you are something from a dream.
When you laugh,
my heart smiles,
When your heart aches,
I would walk miles,
to fight your fears,
Because you are you
I can't bring my self
To be mad at you
Everything my heart desires
Went in two
All I was thinking about was me and you
Because I love you
I lost my life to a familiar face,
He went by the name, Past.
He shot me down with bitter memories.
He poisoned me with lies.
There is a piece of you that lives inside me.
I know it is there because I can feel it
Along the ridges of my spine
It's been a while now
That I've had a liking for you
Hidden in the shadows of our friendship
Slowly kindled for years
Perhaps it could be love
But who knows,
There was no intention
I saw you todayAnd my heart flipped out of my chestLater that night I couldn't rest.Months after getting over youThere I was back in your graspAnd now I reminisce about our past.
We're distant by miles, we're close in the end, the very same person that became my friend, I made mistakes in my life, getting injured was one, seeing you worry about me, would make 2, and that's no fun,
I watched as the fire died in her eyes. I knew it when she succumbed to the overpowering fight
I felt it when the life drained from her cold fingers
I felt her once lively arms go limp in my tightly-gripping palms
Heavenly father as I wake to this new day you have made;
I thank You and your Son for the price that was paid.
I know at times it may feel like I've hidden through my dismay,
In South Park on bench I'm set, to meet a girl I've never met.
Soft excitement comes alive, as I await her to arrive.
Should this be our final meeting, remember fondly this moment fleeting.
Impossibilities,
They rule over me;
Like the inconsistency…
That this will continue to rhyme.
All over the fence,
Like the one I had to jump over,
Literally and figuratively.
Sometimes, when life gets too hard to stand,
you need a minute to sit down in the mud and move on.
Move on from all that is hard, from all things that give you stress.
Now, moving on is not the same as giving up.
I used to be sad, used to mope and grief.
I used to stand on the edge of tears as I saw you.
Now I realise, there is nothing appealing about depression.
Then I saw your sadness.
You became glue for me.
she has the exterior of a blissful silhouette but an interior like a shattered vase. words slip through the crevices of her mind with slick, soft movements, creating waves within her mind, and hurricanes within her body. her eyes reflect the shini
It was a rule I broke
that would lead me to find
a person who was actually kind.
A person I barely know,
and has had the courtesy to say "Hello".
Countries away we are
and yet with social media
strangers again
You were a stranger. Stranger than me? not by a long shot
friend, I’d see you, you “see” me. As someone deeper, perhaps deeper than the rest.
I have a wonderful neighbor and his name is Joe.He's a person and a friend who I'm proud to know.He's been my neighbor and my friend for twenty years.
A perfect and loyal friend
From you jumping all over me, to a bark meaning hello,
There is no other friend I would rather go
To lick away my tears and tell all my fears.
A walk in the park,
A ride in te car,
You follow me everywhereFrom sunrise to sunsetSometimes tallSometimes shortYou watch my backOr sometimes take the leadYou may not always be visibleBut I know your here with me
Many times in school I have felt alone,
However, spoken word catches me in it's net.
It heals my the the wounds from words that may cause a broken bone.
All my homies hmu like where you been
Clearly
Smoked out comatose and unresponsive tearing
Searing pain unmistakable
A soft little kitten
My finger he has bitten
Yet I simply grin.
I hold him tenderly
Hoping he'll purr to me
Sleeping under my chin.
Striped oranger face and white paws
she's a pretty little girl with
a ring on each finger
she cut her hair so short like
the girl in the picture
she's running around being
her own brown-eyed-girl
in a new skirt each day and
I open the door and you're there,
you can always make me smile and lick the sadness away,
you wag your tail and I know you care,
you're a true friend and family that will stay,
whenever I feel sick or down,
The question lyes in the air
Do I still care?
The words to express how much I care are hard to find
because what you don’t understand is not an hour goes by that you don’t cross my mind
I do not know what I’m suppose to say
or the words I’m suppose to pray.
It is like one day
he was walking Your way
but then instead of seeing black and white he started seeing gray
You know im not the prophet of false hope
Im only here for aid,
Im not the bearer of the rope
That hangs around your neck
You are,
You have to find your own way down
Just dont jump,
Can someone please tell me why this world is so full of words I can't understand
Why I can't comprehend
please lend me a hand so I can understand how to be your friend
Dark secrets stalks the night as the moon raised
The steps of the secret edges closer
As the moon fetches the ocean praise
But I couldn’t clutch my secret forever
Each day my passion ablaze like the stars
She’s there for me when the voices speak,
I let the hidden emotions drain onto the blank piece of loose leaf,
When life was hard and everything seemed to be bleak,
Who will care when the world ends?
Will it be you or any of your friends?
What if the world ended today?
Would you be happy with how it ends?
Have you ever felt alone?Like there's all these people around you at work or schoolSmiling and laughingWith their friendsAnd theirBest friends.
You were the ghost in my closet. You told me lies in the silence. Sang me songs of violence. The whisperer of pure evil. The flies you spat flew around. As I sold you secrets by the pound.
The sky is eerily starless tonight
And it is like the universe senses that I am not ready to see the stars
Hidden in the darkness
I am waiting for the clock to strike twelve
And for you to admit that you were wrong
Author's Note: This was a poem written by Catrina Sable, a good friend of mine, and myself. Enjoy!
Two girls that feel alone
Lost in their head
Replaying the battles,
Hearing the never ending screams,
Everyone says its not my faultBecause there’s nothing I could do And yet of course, just by default I blame myself and not you You’re like a bird with a broken wing You’re so fragile and misguided You would always turn to me in spring But now l
the feeling is dark
it's burning real slow
growing and festering
the origin unknown
one day I woke and suddenly so
engulfed by emotion
and left with a foe
instinct is real
More important than air
Although His absence is not so immediately felt
More valuable than treasure
Although treasure hunters ignore Him
More a friend than my best friend since 4th grade
I heard of this well called Happiness,
I had never seen it before.
I decided to find it,
I couldn't wait to see what was in store.
The journey was long and hard,
but everytime I stopped I craved more
The rivers are my friends
When I need a break from men the rivers are there
When I need to lay my body down to weep the rivers are there
When everybody and their souls have gone on home the rivers are there
A real person to keep me sane
A real joke to ease my pain
A real voice to open my mind
A real moment to kill some time
A real hug to lose myself
A real touch from no one else
A real soul to set me free
I met a boy
He saw purple and red stripes
He told me a story
About how his fist
Was always kissing bricks
And as romantic as it was
He had to quit
So instead
He spread a story about himself
In magenta, black and elf felt green
A
What would I do without her?!
I am what I am because of her
I do what I can to be her
Independent, positive, a walking heart
She's too admirable to be true.
Day by day
Loving, caring, nice
The best people in my life,
Friends may come and go,
Family is forever.
Can't live without them,
Cheer me up when I am blue,
Scold me when I'm bad,
Do you remember closing your eyes and thinking of the days you were dead?
Not dead, but dying?
You died once,
Long ago it was.
Everyone needs a helping handFor the heart and soul.
I talk, listen, and most of all,I care about you.
Don't be afraid, you can tell me,And I promise I won't tell.
I’ve been alone before.It’s harder than it seeems.
There is one way tofight the loneliness.
All I Needis my sister.
She is my best-friend,always there.Understands me.Makes me laugh.
How do you think that way?
Not owning a thought in your head
Like a parrot, repeat what other’s said
Believing in lies
Worried if you don’t, the spotlight dies
“loved ones, your feelings determine mine”
this is what my voice proclaims
but does my heart truly sympathize?
i encourage you to confide in me
but is just it to reciprocate my ego?
Hey look, it's my teddy Bear or should i say my care bear
When I'm down i hold him near
He lets me know there's nothing to fear
That's how i know he's always there.
My problems he would love to hear
If I could choose one singular thing
To draw back the loneliness, boredom, and pain
Of living away from all I know
On a deserted island so far from home,
Laying alone on the gritty, ecru sand
the grains dance about your eyelashes, teasing
knowing you're envious of their dance partner.
The dunes sigh as the wind sifts through and carries
Stranded on an island... I am alone.
In an osasis I find some peace, I am alone.
In the dark night without heat... I am alone.
Wading in the blue lagoon under the hot sun, I am alone.
There is one thing I absolutely need
A friend
Someone who is close to me
Someone to talk to, someone who cares
Someone who is always there to dry my tears
A friend
Hush my dear
Shed no tear
Keep it all inside
Turn your head
As I go to bed
And utter not a sound
Love has no respect for me
Waste not your devout sympathy
There is a place inside my dreams, I see you standing there. Your beauty captivates me, the sun shining in your hair. Another day of fishing, the pole becomes your hand. All I can do is smile cause I am the one who understands.
He stood int he corner, observing everyone around.
Unwavering he spoke, not caring whether the listener was alive and well or in another life, he needed them to hear.
My old friend... a trinket to my soul that contributes to making my life more whole....
You are a gift to me.... one I cherish very deeply. The sun is starting to rise, take my hand, together we can avoid our demise....
Hypocriticals if we say we love, yet spill our bloods behind each other.
She said she is your best friend
Yet she stabs you in the back.
This kind is the Story for The Gods
She called at four am.
Sobbing into the phone, we were both barely past ten.
He had touched her with his sweaty hands,
and looked at her with his lustful eyes.
He had ripped her out of bed,
Nothing can fill the emptiness of a loss.
No tear, sorrow, or sadness
can fill the gaps of time today.
The almighty Jehovah is my Master, he is the one who I serve.He has my love and obedience and that is what he deserves.If loving God is wrong, I don't want to be right.He is my best friend, I praise him day and night.
Have you ever wanted a friend so badly. A friend with a little gleam in their eyes. They talk to you and convince you that everything is ok.
Don't you know how much IEver did love you?
Don't you everUnderstand my feelings?
You were the sole reasonOf me stoppingWriting songs of love
Thanks for teaching us about the Spartens

Thank you for giving us tips on how to get free food.
I dont care what they say ...you're a cool dude.
I remember I found you lying in pain on top of the stone.
I took you with me because you were hurt and I was alone.
How beautiful your petals were as I brought you into the light, with a green stem and bright complexion.
She tried to kill herself tonight.
I know why she did that.
She's depressed and was drinking and everything just built up and then. . .
Boom.
On the way to the hospital
She said she wanted to sleep forever.
The darkened pall of misery has come,
The blade of death has fallen once again,
Upon the neck of youth and happiness,
A normal human
But not a normal man
You fulfill many roles
Which many cannot withstand
A lover to your wife
A protector of our land
I have a friend named Ryan
He wishes he was Hawaiian
He’s a bird
On a turd
Flyin Hawaiian Ryan
Dylan Lautzenheiser (Limerick)
You probably don't know me, but my friend made you add me on snapchat.
Here and now I lie in grim nostalgia
reminiscent of time spent with old friends
call them Tragic, now, for their tragic ends
If only I could be with them tonight
To have them back, revel in love now lost
When memory calls upon me
I sit to remember
Joyous or Melancholy
Awake or in slumber
The sights I have seen
The things I have known
The people I’ve loved
Even though some are gone
Do you remember me?
I remember you.
Will you ever return?
I do want you to.
Do you know how long it's been?
Or have you forgotten?
I know how long it's been.
I have it here written.
Jehovah created the land and the seas.He loves everybody, including you and me.Jehovah's love for us has no bounds.He's a friend who is always around.In a world that has been consumed by violence and greed,
Thank you for your email. Your words are a key which unlocks a door when opened I am inspired to get myself up and off the floor.
When skies grow gray
And smiles fade away,
I know they will be there.
As tears stream down
Enough for me to drown,
They will give me their care
Friends create smiles
Side-by-side
dressed alike

"Are you two twins?"
My little shadow
almost as old as I am
you look up to me
but you have no idea how much
I look up to you.
I have a great friend and his name is Danny Carpenter.He's a very nice man and he's going to Heaven for sure.He bends over backwards to help his fellow man.He helps me and other people as much as he can.

pain, tears, and suffering
disappointment in yourself
and others’ disappointment in you
anger, hurt, and screaming
You're looking at a man who has been blessed.I have a dog and she's Daddy's little Princess.My Chihuahua, Agnes is very special to me and I love her a lot.She means more to me than anything else that I've got.
My car ran out of gas, but there was a station close by.
I walked up to the station, but had no gas can.
A fellow was filling his gas can for his lawn mower and offered to help.
You're not like the others.
You actually listen to me.
From the minute I had met you,
i'll admit, I was unsure where you would lead.
Depression?
Succession?
How can this situation go?
Betrayal is indeed a bitter pill to swallow
one I never thought I'd have to taste
shows my naivety
betrayal never crossed my mind
so I never thought of it in others
now I ache deep in my heart
What if I told you that I'm raw?
What if I told you that I'm broken?
What if I told you I feel like crying?
Well. I do.
What if I told you that I'm burdened?
We are two different sides of the same soul
This I say to you, my friend
Lover’s Lane shall never end
When we are finally together again
And I’ll let you know one thing is true
So you found out
Well, how do you feel?
Me?
I feel vulnerable
Anxious
Confused
Judged
Hurt
Angry
Destroyed
This was a side of me that you weren't ready for
In my sleep I feel a cold draft that much reminds me of the words you ended a world with
A world full of many
Many beliefs, loves, words, and growth
Growth between two minds in limbo
I can't say I'm flawless
Because I have flaws
I'm human
I always will be
I make mistakes
But when I hurt,
I say sorry
I'll forever be a friend
And stick till the end of time
The anchor stays in place
In this big blue expanse of life.
Autopilot: on.
The captain rests in her ship,
Not afraid
Come,
Sit down and view my world
Let me take you in
They say my name
As if it is I that should be ashamed.
And yet, I win another battle
Your're alwyas therewhenever I need youthrough thick and think you stay so truethrough our tough times and bleak times
Why dont you cry out my friend? Do you want your pain to never end? This is the fate some say you chose. But others would never know. The life was chosen for you. A horrible tale you were put through.
The mountains loom above the little town.
The sun sets and they cast their shadows down.
The climber, still suspended from the rocks,
Clips in, makes sure the carabiner locks,
All was in vain
We knew it
Our hearts have fractured
But only I am pierced by the shards
Now words are exchanged
You didn’t know how you spoke
Through the emptiness of your eyes
Oh my darling, please don’t
Don’t let depression sear your heart
I know it’s hard to say goodbye
But sometimes friends must part
She’s going to kill herself
Maybe not today or tomorrow,
But someday she will,
Before you cry “get a hotline”,
Know that we tried.
We tried so much,
But her heart has already died.
Tears sliding down my face,
People stare,
But I don't care.
Dear ol friend,
Left without little goodbye,
Tomorrow being a big day,
Now gone.
No one is looking for me.
I haven't disappeared, but why can't they see me?
That's alright, I'm not hoping to be found,
I already found myself
I used to know a kid when I was younger. He had blonde hair and brown eyes and was a bit small
but, he always put on a brave face. I used to think he was annoying until I befriended him.
I can see that you are broken
Liek a vase that's fallen off the shelf and was stuck back together with the biggest pieces
There are small cracks in you waiting to be filled with what you once were
Golden honey sunsets,
The delightful salty breeze caressing my cheek,
Flowers lining every corner in every imaginable hue,
What could be better?
The beauty of the elements engulf me
Friends
They are the unity that brings together as one
Boy or girl, they are there for us when we need them the most
Each unique in their own way
I've heard a word used most everyday,
During work and amid my play.
A word so strong it knows no bounds.
Round 1:
You ask your parents how they feel about gay people
"trash" "freaks" "sinners"
I wish that you would write to me.
Paragraphs or pages of paper
With words of your world for me to see
Parchment with pencil or pen
Scribbled at half past ten or when your're free
My friend is a rainbow
When the tears pour, he’s there
His presence is a promise for better times
He makes me glow
He listens to all of my fears
Being there…well it makes me feel fine.
A Villanelle dedicated to my best friend in all the world, who makes me smile every day!
I envy those that shine in the light,
Those who aren't afraid to fight
for who they are.
For every time I think it's time,
For every time I say that this moment, this one is surely mine,
Hey dude, its your birthday today,
You are still so small but you think like a giant wall,
The days we spent together,
all that stuf in library,
for me its all about memories,
today i take stand,
Her smile is the beauty of nature at its best, when leaves are ripe and the trees are at rest. Grin perl white and shines with glee, like a deep night sky it's a must on what you see. Waves with ponder that's brown
I don't think that I can see it as well as other people
You can do it again and again for centuries
Checking my work
My new job
Making costumes
Doing makeup
The only thing that can make me happy
I was one in the dark, you know?
Following a pace
Destruction was its face
Tall and Slim
Dark and Grim
Too much to care.
The light
Was too fair
My itchy ears
"Who is the friend?"
These words were slipped to me
When the day was to an end
From the one that couldn't see
Just what she could really be.
"All you can do is frown"
your whole life reads like
a tragedy
and you couldn't care less
the time of day
but please if you just
hold on to me
you'll see there's more than
sad things to say
So, I’ve got a boyfriend and you’ve got a girlfriend.He loves me like I love you like you say you love her. He’s a very good man and everything anyone could wish for. But the star I’m wishing on is different than everyone else’s.
Everyone is always trying to rush to the end
just to feel good about the win.
But what awaits for you as you stand in the line of people who want the same things as you?
It is hard to go each day when faith gives you more bad days then good. When everything in life couldn't be anymore stable then what it is, then all of a sudden the unexpected happens so we start to descend ,
I am a wind.
I am the air rushing through the leaves,
Happy and energetic,
Flying and free.
Sometimes my speed picks up.
I get angry. I run from my problems.
I know I can be too much sometimes.
I cannot begin to imagine
What comes within this baggage
Friendship! What a slippy, messy slope?!!
A non-romantic relationship
Where two hearts begin to elope
Made of steel, built out of sweet blood, and salty tears
Creating the barrier of a lifetime, to guard all your fears
What will it take for you to see
that I just want to be.
A friend, not a lover, cause I know you have another.
Understand ? or is that to hard to comprehend, that a guy can just be.
I just want to be.
“Can I please have a ride?”
It’s a simple enough question.
But laced with barbed wire.
A huge favor to me
A way for me to work
But an inconvenience to you.
A chore
I've got you in my bare hands.
Yet it's as if I am at your command.
It's no wonder you have a reputation for being so witty.
You know my secrets and at times they're for you to keep.
The saddest thing in the world is the frown on the face of a friend,
Like the bottom of the Pacific, its chasms have no visible end.
Why do i love him
being around him only makes me grim
I have loved him through the ins and outs of time
I love him to the point it's a crime
He's the orange juice I'm the syrup
And I stare
As you stand there
But you don't see
What I can be.
We are here
But I do fear
You will never know
What I want to show.
My feelings for you
You said you wanted to die,
but I think you just wanted someone to care.
You went so long,
oh so long,
dealing with the whispers behind your back.
There were so many people that cared,
My broken friend
behind a wall so strong
built up over the years
made of others beliefs
when pain is better
than being numb
I hurt for him
A spirit so pure
Captured and tortured
I thought of you when I was lonely.
I smiled at your picture in my mind.
I laughed with you and we shared our vented feelings-
our Joys, our Sorrows, our Angers.
Stars in the night-time sky
Shining strong and bright
Diamonds sparkling in my eye
Fill my heart with light
If only the world would stop and pause
Gravity cease and nature's laws
I'm here for you.
Know you are not alone
And that I am here.
Let go of that razor,
Those pills,
That gun.
You will make it through this.
I believe in you.
You just need a friend,
When you fall,
It's not just you who falls.
You may try to erect your walls,
Walls of Smiles that paint the world in pastel pink,
That powder the world in peutrid perfume, so sweet it's sickening.
Oh where has the time gone?
The days have flown by
We had times of joy-
We laughed together
And we had fun
We had times of sorrow-
We cried together
my soul is an attic;
there are dust particles
floating
and settling
all around.
my memories lie,
scattered upon
decrepit, creaky shelves
and
doubtful, broken staircases.
I watch his eyes with a breaking heartMy life falls to peices when we are apart.My love for him kills me, like a cold, sharp knifeI'd give him my all, I'd give him my life.
Desperate to know, what could have been, what used to beDying to know what you hear, what you see. I am separate from the world, my mind is a mess and you can't handle that,
I refuse to call you, acknowledge that you are there,But I can't help but dwell on all the good times that we share. You were my friend, a comrade, my partner in crime,
I can't breathe
My tears flow freely, the sick feeling of dread overwhelming me
His hands are warm, controlled and gentle.
He's comforted others before me,
What is society
To you and me?
No,
What is society?
You and me.
Socius, societas, society.
Comrade, friend, ally.
How far we have come.
She told me last night
A whisper on the porch
Her face was a smile,
Masking her tears.
I wanted to scream
I wanted to hold her tight
And tell her it would be ok.
I wanted to throw something
Sometimes you might feel empty inside,
unable to say how you feel because too much pride.
You might feel like you are on your own,
like you are all alone.
But have no fear,
We as blacks
Grew up with the struggle of the nation on our backs
Being told that the skin that is attached to our bodies
are a curse to our soul
We believe that being different makes us a queer in our "group"
Light the world with your Smile
Few can say
Without dismay
You are beautiful
Within a day
Tears of Sanity
Given life’s morals
There dwells a pain
Uneasy
Unforgiving in its context
A Friend of The Past
Once first
Now last
A kind you were
Ridiculous but settled
Come Back Again
Challenged by things
Undermined by most
Mundane are struggles
Simple to complex
My Lovable Sweetheart
Starlight eyes
Never leaving mine
Against your thighs, like pillows
Ground up Sky down
Chained by wronging
Pressed knee deep in sorrow
All around fades
Memories become echoes
A Brother None The Less
Glorious and proud
My friend, my crony
Having climbed the Apex of life
Diamond shine
Wondrous, exciting, grand
Raising life to new heights
Brilliant in form
Unlike most who teach
Love for the Anonymous
My unconditional love
Given like a ghost
Weightless, soundless, feeless
Always will remain
Be unique
Different from the rest
Bright, cunning, awesome
A star in moonlight
Wedding Day
Grand in beauty
Shining brighter than any city
Rose’s rocket skyward
Together
Alone in the shadows,
No more, ended suffering
Sunshine over Time
Glow from there
Stand right here
Let the world
Find your light
Remember When
A time of joy
Shared with care, compassion
You and I share a past
Long and last, yet so new
Unbroken
Malleable in heart
Standing charade in form
You test my vigor, yet I remain stolid
Respected and Loved
A friend
A companion till the end
Hold my hand, count to ten
Thick and thin here we go
Will you pick a flower from my garden?
Will you pluck the buttons from my shirt?
Will you amble your fingers through my hair?
Will you scatter kisses on my lips?
Will you plant yourself next to me?
Stretched Bands
Grinded to sand,
Softened by oceans,
Brightened by the sunlight,
Being baked ripe.
Pristine but Transcendent
Given embellishment
The sparks, Jules, latest fashions
But you subsist as your own
She’s a friend,
I suppose you could even say best friend.
It’s her birthday.
You know what she wants;
Time to go all out;
Get everyone to help out.
This is the day,
I recall elementary
In which we would play in dirt
I recall you as the girl I hardly talked to
The one that I knew but didn't know
I recall middle school
You're as clear as glass
and the nastiest mess;
You have different personalities
and about thirty masks;
You guide others throug the dungeon
with nothing to see;
You're heart's darker than ebony
Am I going insane?
feels like i'm in another dimension.
Stop, get out of your head,
you have to pay attention.
Surrounded by your classmates,
but feel alone all day.
Dismissal bell means nothing,
I found her in the bathroom,with silent tears, facing the wall.We hadn't been back a week, but it didn't matter.Dried eyes walked out:Teasing again."Leave her alone!"Glaring, they went to class.
Ran Through the White Fog
Selected
Lined with a decorated past
Finding new sights with old eyes
Your courage is tested
Giving a given gift
Unsolved like a puzzle
A great maze of much
The mystery of time
One with design
Living among prime
Optimistic and bold
Leaving nothing old
"Pleasures" no longer yearned for,
Distorted within currupted, coerced gratification,
You seek Only Seclusion.
Fashioning a false asocial wants,
A desire built shallow,
Designed translucent.
You look familiar
Like a boy I used to know
But he’s not here anymore.
You are a shredded kite
Searching for a reason to stay tethered to solid ground
You haven’t found one.
Her hair frames her face in tarnished-golden wringlets
barely going past her shoulders
her face, long, glowing with elegance and grace
her eyes, an aqua blue so light in tint
Feburary 27, 2012 a Facebook message notification
It read "HBD". She didn't know who it was so she just replied with a thank you and went away.
Little did she know that was her first encounter with her first love.
There once was a girl named Tully,
She lived in a big scary gully,
She found her way out and started to pout,
You call me ya nigga
Well, check this out
If I’m your nigga I can’t be your homie
If I’m ya nigga I can’t be your man
If I’m ya nigga I can’t even be your friend
Not because I don’t want to
Beth & Natalie
No words strong enough in tragedy,
Loving you with every breath.
Forevermore, watching over us
I turned a corner and found her asleep.
Her body motionless,
like an unborn sheep,
Hair splayed across the floor,
like seaweed washed ashore,
skin pale like the moon,
lips drained of life.
This is what I want to say:
Thank you.
But I have struggled
Trying to find the words
To make you understand
With absolute clarity
What you have done for me.
Two months ago,
Is a friend a person who we have known for a long time? What makes a person a friend? We stand in crowds, chatting with other pleople, claiming we have hundreds of friends. But do these people see the real you?
Wanting to cry but having no tears
Wantint to scream but pride's held to dear
This strenght is found in hard-hearted men
Who hide it inside and don't show the truth
They see youBut theydontseeYOUYou smile and laugh unawareYour eyes, your smile, your faceThats all they need to seeSome stare.Others ignore.But nobody knowsWhat you feel
There sat a boy in class with me,
with red Beats that hung around his neck,
he'd never take notes in class,
The weather is gloomy.
It hangs in the air,
Its unpredictable patterns,
Remind me of someone that I hold dear,
My best friend is this way,
It’s sad to think that she is hurt and unhappy,
The darkest room.The dearest soul.Finds comfort in its blackest holdThe world turned hard.The broken heart.Finds refuge in the silent darkThe lost and lonely.Lightless and faint.
Your prescence warms me and you're always there. No matter what, you leave room for me. When I'm down you help me up. You've seen me at my best, but mostly at my worst. You've seen it all, and still you remain by my side. I love you, friend.
Went blind and died
Completely justified; age kills
Truly, no being reaches end
They instead are ended.
Makes sense by nature:
By nature fruits grow and spoil
My dog is my only friend
I know it might be hard to apprehend
But my dog is my one true friend
We go for walks
And she listens to me talk
And talk
Geometry shouldn't even be a subject in high school
Why do we need to know how to plot point on a graph?
What is a friend?
Is a friend someone you've known for years?
Someone you went to school with,
who listened while you wallowed in a pit of tears,
while deep inside they held something more.
I thought we could be friends
But I was foolish
You betrayed me and shed no tears
You betrayed me
And shed no tears
Talk behind my back
Please make my day
I know your game
Walking these halls, I realize, these kids are starring at me.
But im not strange, I am actually very beautiful.
Is it because im pregnant?
Its not my fault.
It wasnt something I wanted to happen.
The Pit Bull friend or foe
Mans best friend or no?
Bread a killer or a devoted companion.
The gentle giant to some,
A murderer to most.
Powerful, Intimidating, caring all so true,
I tore the words "Once Upon a Time"
Traced the letters "O" "U" "T"
Folded it up all nice and neatly,
Kept it in my breast pocket for my heart to see,
Then the words caught fire,
They fell away to ash,
A love I once honed
Is now a memory long forgotten;
With how quick I lost it,
Or even rid of it-
Was it lust instead?
Cradled in my plams
Had been a lingering hope
That the past would reverse
Everyday I see you
and everyday you look at me
Everyday we talk
we argue and laugh together
Everyday i bump you
and everyday you bump me
Yet it feels at though you have never seen me
A teacher is a teacher, plain as that,
Certainly not someone whom you’d want to engage in your group chats.
But where do you go when you need a lending ear,
When your once closest friends are suddenly nowhere near?
Its not a matter of how much
I love you.
Now it has turned into
a simple game between my heart and mind.
Someone wielded them like a dagger,
And pierced your tender heart.
Someone turned them into arrows,
And shot them into your soul.
But words that flow from my mouth,
Will be a healing salve.
One day my whole life changed
Everything around me was suddenly rearranged
When I heard what happened
It was was worse than I could have ever imagined
You were gone in a blink of an eye
It was September of '08 when I went into depressionNo other emotions other than sadness and agressionI lost two people in my lives that monthMy nana from cancerAnd my step-father who was cheating on my mom for months
“For Lexi Brain”because you are something specialand I see it in your eyesespeciallybut not restricted tothe time on FridayI thinkOr Thursday
When I was young
I had a special friend
And right from the start
I knew he'd be there thill the end.
We didn't need to talk
He knew my every thought
Sometimes I ignored him,
My name's Sam.Hope you got the telegram,cuz if you didn't Ima shoot you up like "Muthafucka blam!"Just kidding, Ma'am.That's not the kinda man I am.I'm actually Mexican, not Mediterraneanand I don't eat lamb.Don't even think about bringing upgreen
I never thought that I could feel this way
I never really searched for this feeling
- None worthy to share it with anyway
But I stumbled on it, now I’m tingling
The tears creep down my faceAs I watch him saunter awayAt an unsteady pace.I never wanted it to be this way. I look at my phone,Look at his ring.The tender loving boy I had known The song we once sang, he ceased to sing. The heart throbbing words
Shutters forced open
To the vast unknown
By a pair of outspread wings.
She shimmers in the night
In all her breathtaking glory
Racing away from her only comfort.
She won’t come back,
They are with you when needed.
Soulful angels in our crises.
They wear wings – wings of love.
What would we do if they were not there?
Civilization would cease.
The world would be so cruel.
I place the weight of my body onto a jagged rock on top of a mountain.
With my head turned to the left, the breeze brushes my cheeks.
She cries and breathes heavilyNo one understands her.She has tried over and over againTo fit in.
And yet when she walks down the hallwaysShe holds her books closerAs her so called peers look down on her.
I have a friend named Ryan
Others may think I’m lyin’
When I say he has a beard so legit
I wish him never to get rid of it
Just because he's bearded
Doesn't mean that he's a joke
When I'm lonely, you're there to keep me company.
When I'm broken, you're there to fix me.
When I'm lost, you're there to find me.
It may not seem like much, but it means the world to me.
It's likeSandInside your handsEventually it will slip out
Know nowI'm with you somehowNo matter where you go
It's like sandIn the beachUncountableA number out of reach
ShellsExplodeShellsDown goes my friendShellsBoom after boomShellsI cannot moveShellsInsanityShellsHelpless, I amShellsThe shell…Has been shocked
Death is her wish
and life is her bliss.
There are cuts on her wrist
because she can't hide the pain.
The only trace
of words filled with hate
are those wounds on her skin.
What's that there?
What's that here?
It was near, now it just disappear!
What did it do?
What did it went off to?
It sure flew, but I think it likes you!
It just past by.
When I made you smile, I felt something.
Like fire.
When you spoke those words, my cheeks burned.
Like fire.
When you took my hand nervously, it kindled me.
Like fire.
Dear Lauren,
Your head is on moving mountains
While your heart is broken into thousands
And today you fell off the track
But I'd like to guide you back
Support, another name for a friend.
Something that you really haven't been.
Instead of trying to see through my eyes
All you do is sit there and criticize.
You were my rockBut I found you too stable,Immobile, grounding, so IShattered you -A man broken into thirty-three pieces,Mere pebbles of the boulder you were.
I once had a friend
She liked to play house
She liked the color red
I gave her a present
When she had to go
I drew a picture
Drawn in crayon
It was her favorite color
The first love poem
Inscribed on a clay tablet
By Sumerians
Does not speak of
Candy hearts or kisses or
Perfumed nothings
That make your heart beat and your
Cheeks flush hotly red.
Feels like a pile of peels left over from the juiciest sun-soaked orange
Hands sticky, sweet, soaked
Feels like two stepping through a summery Texas evening
The first time you meet a boy
Hold his hand, kiss his cheek, and fall in love.
When he tells you that you are the only reason he has not killed himself,
Do not stay.
I was inspired by a good friend of mine
I read her stories and I wanted to give writing a try
Writing opened up my eyes and expanded my mind
I wrote when I was down in the dumps and wanted to cry
What was once cherished is now just a memory
A constant imitation stapled in her mind
Robbing her of her happiness like a burglary
Breaking her soul down every time
Every day seemed to become harder
You could feel the pain
In his spoken words
Every word hurt more than the one before
He got so close to tears
Ready to disappear
The scent of
the juice of
apples on her breath
mixes (by 10pm) with the café cigarettes &
coffee in her hair
And she told us that when she dreams, she goes to every country on Earth,
My friend is a tree
He sprouts and grows
And he loves me
He's sort of shy
Because he's a pretty small guy
But I love him just the same
I know he shouldn't worry
One day he'll be taller than me
To a friend I never knew,Your eyes deep and full of wonder.Brilliant cascades of royal blue.A smile so bright it brings envy to the sky.The sun and the moon couldn't rival your cherry lips in bloom.
I feel so much
And reach to touch
But no one is there to feel the love .
My thoughts they race
And I must face
That no one is around me.
I wish to share
But no one is there
I have wasted precious paper figuring you out
And I know you know just exactly what that's like
I'm sure you'll never spare a word for me
But I would expect you've got much better things clouding your mind
In the beginning were my words,
And my words were formed by God;
And my words reflected my dolorous anguish.
With my heart shattered to dust
By the brusqueness and lackadaisical
We grew up together
In the suburbs of a small town
Where we noticed the weather
Didn't change when the sun went down
It stayed hot forever
But we found ways around
Like the black crows feather
Army strong isn’t the correct term to
define yourself. Teddy bear type of guy.
Shy, sweet, funny was what you were before
you became army strong. I guess the guard
told you to guard up your feelings in the
Even from the start,
things were different.
You understood and listened.
Like a pipe line in a tornado -
you stayed while
everyone else left.
Prickers and needles
came out as closed wounds
My brother way more than a friend, to think you wouldn't be here till the end. To see your face, feel your warm embrace would dry up all my tears.
My dearest is a king;
He is captivating
He has a pure heart, just like a child so small
His voice is magical; it falls sweet to my ears
He takes me to a world without pain, suffering and fears
My dreams don't have to come true,
But I really want them to.
Just to be with you,
And share a love, let's do.
Instead, I am still alone;
your feelings I have never known.
You are a past thingA thing from who I used to beAnd I miss you, you past thingBecause sometimes, without you, I don't feel completeMaybe I have not tried to replace youBut you're like a rare part
Little stream through the woods
How sad and lonely you must be
Tired too though many can’t see
You fight and fight to make it through
And one day when you finally do
In the big ocean you will be
It almost doesn't make sense
You were a stranger,
Until the last months of your life.
In a way, you were like the forest
Tall, Sturdy, Strong
Reaching out to others in need,
Eager to honor, serve, and keep
Secrets of others, either family or friend,
Privacy regarded, helping hands to extend.
Etiquette minded, impeccable manners,
When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay
You came out of no where, when I needed a friend the most.
Felt lost scared and lonely 'til you came close.
you were my first friend, we would be together till the end.
Until the day you didnt come back.
Behind those eyes dark and deep
I see a shadow there that sleeps,
and through it all I’d hear you call
your voice’d be there
as if you care!
Bah, to think you feel anything…
I wish that I could sing you a song
A song to take away your pain
Unfortunately
I can’t carry a tune
But if I could
You would be so amazed
At the melodies I would sing
Your soul would smile
you are scraping at the ground
with bloodied bare fingers,
eyelids nailed shut
and a staggering weight on your shoulders,
your ankles chewed raw from every time
you stood, raised a hand to your shredded neck,
We sit here and cry
Reminiscing on the times
That you were on earth with us.
The love you showed,
The stories you told
All became a part of us.
(poems go here) Laying on your chest,
Playing in your hair.
With you I am at my best.
But I would never dare speak—I would never dare say,
The three words that keep—Reoccurring in my head.
As the fiesta comes to end, I see you sitting down
Neither on the couch nor bed; but rather on the cold, hard ground.
You have a castle for a mind and those flags
They don't bear enough welcome
Put your drawbridge down
We won't all hurt you how some have
Call off the guards and stone walls
I was the oldest,
So I should’ve died first,
But now you’re buried in the ground,
At only twenty-one years young,
They say you were hung,
And now I’m listening to sad songs,
Did you hate us all that much,
The little girl you see over there,
Yes, the one with the vibrant, shiny, red hair.
She's not much different from you and I
Everyday she goes home and cry.
A year ago, just like this day,
Your porcelain keys
and golden strings
come natural as
the blue jay sings
You’re going places
I can tell
You’ll leave me here
It’s just as well
But if you end up
in a place
Never could I expect the unimaginable outcome of that day
You see, on that very day
You took a journey through my eyes
And gazed on back to the inner side of my thighs
Just kidding
If I die
You know why
I choked on laughs
I choked on pop
You make me laugh
I almost pop
You're funny and genuine
But your jokes are my venom
Like Superman to Kryptonite
Although it hurts
Although it's tragic
You'll still be the friend I never had
And I'll send you off with a smile
Drama queen
You cause a scene
Just shut up!
No one cares about your shoes
Or who’s your boo
Being ridiculous
Is what you do best.
Stop talking please
Do it for me
The days continue as they always have,
But they aren't quite the same.
A hole has opened in my chest
To know that it will be a while till we meet again.
A Friend like You
Written in pen,
Sealed with a kiss.
If you are my friend,
Please answer me this.
Are we friends or are we not?
You told me once,
But I forgot.
So tell me now,
being alone feels like walking through a dark room
everything seems dark and you're just hoping to find the light switch soon
we look for ways to cover the emptiness we carry inside
at times hoping we could die
All I ever wanted was to be beautiful.
Like new mothers,
like flickering candles in dark rooms
like flowers pressed into books
like new shoes...
I know you are hurt
I know you are furious
I did what I had to
And it may seem cruel
I'm sorry for loving you
I'm sorry for caring
I didn't want this to happen
but it was something worth sharing
She slid the blade deep into her arm
Breathing heavy, trying so hard to hold in her emotions
yet release all her feelings.
She thought of the sister that didn't love her,
The mother to busy to care,
That although we are far apart
I will hold you close to my heart
When you're either up or down
I'll always have a remedy for your frown
That in the event you shed a tear
My dance instructor, so cool so fresh
My heart racing as I am put to the test
Stepping to every sound, feeling every beat
Making sure that I accomplish an amazing feat
Though tough times he is always there
A smile, a nod, some kind of love, a wink, a glance, a knowing smirk, a friend, a lover, a neighbor, a sister, a brother, a cousin, an aunt, a mother, an uncle, a father, a stranger, a phone call, a text, a profession, a secret, an invitation, a l
Oh, valiant friend in my past
Your memories have come at last!
Eyes, bright and shining,
Never dull or whining.
Rough times came, but you were there
Drying my tears and looking fair.
