The trees don’t dance for me.
Though they bend and sway
(As if waving ‘go away’)
Behind this glass I
Am as still as can be.
Sometimes when I am alone, I wonder what it feels like to hold your hand. How it would feel like to watch the sunset with you and listening to you sing. How much I wish things never changed and how I wish that moment never faded.
I guess I should make peace with the you I know now and stop waiting for the one I fell in love with.
Rooftops
The first rooftop was all fun
It was with a boy who did all the right things
Called me in the afternoon
Took me to a nice restaurant after work
Held my hand as we crossed the streets
His blue eyes smiling
every time he looked at me
He picked a rooftop with an amazing view
The city was buzzing
with life and light and electricity
& we were on top of the world
The first rooftop was
all fun, adventure & letting go
He changed rooftops for me.
The second rooftop was a familiar one
It was with a boy who was nervous
& excited and had no idea
what he was doing
I brought a blanket and cookies
And we stared at the moon
talking about who knows what.
He looked at me like I was magic.
But I knew we were in two different fairytales
On another rooftop my head is spinning
Too many shots at a friend’s party
And the boy I’m with is helping me
make it up the stairs.
We are both laughing
when we finally make it to the rooftop
He whispers sweet nothings in my ear
We wait until
everyone else has gone back to the party
The thing about rooftops is
There is so much space
So much air and sky
The moonlight and wind
Kiss your skin
Dance in your hair
And there’s a freedom and thrill
In not knowing
How long you will have this moment
How long you will be together
Time is unpredictable
I walk into a store
With a neon sign,
It's a jazz store.
With 50s trinkets
And vinyls.
Old CDs, and
Collectables.
You might have liked it,
It would have been...
A great birthday present.
You see,
I have all this knowledge of you
But no where to use it.
All this love for you,
But nowhere to put it.
I must prevail. #poetry #poetryislife #poetrycommunity #poetrysociety #poetryisnotdead #poetryofig #poetryofinstagram #poetryinmotion #poetryaccount #poemgasm #poem #poems #poemsbyme #poemsociety #poemscommunity #poemsbykhalen #poemsforthesoul #poet #writer #author #shortpoetry #shortpoem #california #arizona #eastcoast #westcoast #worldpoetry #lacroix #poetscity https://www.instagram.com/p/CUD79Oksp7k/?utm_medium=tumblr
Away we're sent, in our sleep as we descent.
Into a world we are yet to know, our wonder ever grows.
Goodnight but not goodbye, for while we sleep we awake with our third eye.
Don't you ever let anyone tell you
you aren't the best in the world
because even though your hurting
you carry the joy of the world
you make everyone smile so much
even though you can only form a frown
you make everyone laugh
even though you won't always be around
I will always miss you
and I love you everyday
I really hope that inside
you are actually okay
Family-friendly films
Sprinkled innuendo
Children grow precocious
Future desperados?
Months passed by since I last heard your voice,
It was a difficult decision, might as well call it my hardest choice,
To live in a world where I'm deprived of your noise,
When you used to disturb my peace with your lame jokes,
To live in a place where I'm far away from your touch,
To not be able to feel your presence it hurts a little too much,
I've denied myself the joy of the love songs,
I've denied my heart to be in the places where it belongs,
I did all of this because it felt right,
Punishing myself because I can't control how I feel like,
Distant from the things that tempt me to run to you,
From the daydreams that make me believe you're waiting for me too,
I was doing so good I swear I started to feel better,
But then you called me and I totally forgot that matter,
Talking to you again was like walking on heaven or touching the clouds,
Without remembering that once we hang up I'd die crashing down,
Reminiscing the old times, bringing back the memories,
Digging up my own grave where after that I'd be buried,
Every single day I used to pray word for word,
To live in a time where I could love you without a care in the world,
To love you endlessly without a possibilty for it to measure,
But you will never be something more rather than my guilty pleasure..
The stars called out to me
As if they knew I belong with them
The stars reach out for me
I'll be with them soon
Says a gemini
To the moon
-J.L.D
Half of your face was stolen by the night, the moon liked your eyes so much that she swallowed them whole. the stars liked your skin the way it catches the light so much that they stole it as if it's a blanket . I liked your bottom lip so much that I whispered soft lullabies to it and between your steady breaths. You're not mine but thé evening air still jealous. I kiss you like you are monumental because you are. The night kisses you like you are monumental because she's inside your head
I’m always asked
“Why are you always alone?”
Honestly, a certain event in my life led me to being alone
Growing up, I was always surrounded by people
I had lot fo friends and was never alone…
Until…
3 years ago…
I learned that I need to be careful with what I say to others no matter how fed up I may be with them
Ever since then, I’ve been alone
I couldn’t accept the fact I was alone…
So what I would do, is that I would sit next to a group of people that I knew so I wouldn’t seem like I was alone
So it wouldn’t seem like I didn’t have anyone…
But I learned that’s better being alone than to deal with so many people and keep up with their expectations
Or dealing with fake people
But now I have a few more people I could call my friends
But I only hang out with one
That on person is the one that knows me best
They know who I truly am
Unlike with others, I still isolate myself from them
Sometimes I even isolate myself from my one friend who always hangs out with me
And when I isolate myself, I even isolate myself from my family
Sometimes I’m just so fed up with everything that I just need time to unplug from social media
Texting people
I don’t want to socialize
I just need my own space with no one else in it
And it’s sad I even isolate myself from my family
But…
Isolation is what keeps me sane…
Because…
When I don’t isolate myself…
I feel like I will go insane
But thankfully I know what to do to keep myself sane…
Honestly, I never thought that I would ever end up alone like I am now
That I don’t even know where to run to anymore
Or…
That being alone and isolating myself would actually help me
But honestly…
Es mejor estar sola que mala acompañada
(It’s better being alone than to be accompanied by bad people)
And to think I actually enjoy being alone…
let me lick your wounds,
let me clean your gentle skin.
scrub the rot from your tender hands.
lets play house together.
i will be the mother, the father, and the eldest daughter.
you will play sick and crying,
you will play sick and weeping.
you will play my favourite fixation.
oh god let me fix this.
Life is like a ladder
-NoPressure
Life is like a ladder,
To reach somewhere,
You have to climb up.
Ladder of mine is blurry,
I cannot see anything,
But still i am climbing up,
But end up getting muddy.
Whenever I am slipping,
Someone comes and hold me,
But after I hold my grip tight, they leave me.
Doubts and anxiety hold me.
I don't want to climb up or down,
I want to stay in this moment.
All my friends are climbing up,
Leaving me behind one by one.
I see a hand coming towards me.
Why are you coming down for me?
I asked, she smiles,"I am your friend".
But you will leave me too,
"This is life,
And promise me,
You will keep our memories,
Keep moving forward, smile,
Let everyone in."
