“Found”
When I was four, I died.
And for the life of me, I could not be alive.
When Its light brown eyes turned into dark moonless nights, It still shone bright.
I
am like
the tree,
so big.
To none
am i hid,
I
am like
the moon
at night.
My other
side never
in sight.
I
am like
You're a rope dropping down from my sky;
The color of Extraordinary
I stare into your eyes,
As into a crystal ball,
But I can't find Forever
I can't believe anything in this uncertain world
I am the young girl who's boyfriend's condom popped
I am the girl who fell victim to the man who didn't heed her please stop
I am the boy who was forgotten in the shop
I am the boy who didn't see that stop
The glass between us is deep
A clear light into my life
You could see in and she could see out
Still no sound was exchanged
Words stayed on tongues
Eyes tried to glimpse but never cough the others
No one knows ones you better than you
If I was to find you in a crowd I wouldn't know its you.
No one knows you better than you!
Unsaid words
Flew around like a flock of birds
laying under the old oak tree
That December
Watching how free birds could be
Wishing you were here with me
So you could see
Like this tree
Trust is like some bittersweet cupcake that I can’t sink my teeth into.
Tempting, as most unattainable things are, but vile.
It’s something you try to shove down my throat with sharp and cutting thrusts,
How can I feel everything and nothing at the same time?
How can I be loved, but still feel all alone?
How can I be smart, but act so stupid?
How can I be stressed and frustrated, yet appear to be calm?
