Boys and Girls

In middle school, I've never intended to be interested in anyone
the girls had claws the size of a minivan
it could extend to a couple feet to hundreds of feet in seconds.
The claws had a mind of it's own, they would grapple me
to drain my body or to rip me into shreds.
Blood would be everywhere, my screams would be internal
while the girl with the claws wouldn't even notice.  
I never wanted this, neither did the girl, I got used to it after a while.

I Wish It Wasnt Over

Our love was like a lucid dream
I thought I was hallucinating, hooked on LSD
her looks were so intimidating
hearing the word "yes" seemed unlikely
her skin was warm like summer
love blinded me and I became much dumber

What Do I Do

It's been 5 months 
since the day I passed away
I haven't been doing much since then
Besides that, I've got so much to say

I can't seem to forget about you
despite what I do.
I don't love you anymore
so, what should I do?
Our last night out was such a bore. 
But I didn't intend for you to close our lore.

I'd apply my cologne whenever we went out.
Now, it's only sitting on my desk, partially empty.
I sprayed it once in my room 
for it to smell fine.
It did the chore, but it brought back the memories
we had together.
I had to stop using that cologne after. 

I ruminate about you much
despite not loving you anymore
I made the choice to finally kill it,
but I'd never seen how much I would regret it.
If you came back, I'd be a reminder that you had forgiven me,
since I can't seem to forgive myself,
despite what I say or how hard I fight.

I'm alone in my room, writing this poem. 
I hope we'll talk later tonight.

Peacemaker

I loved her voice
I've seen her eyes 100 times
but she never glanced to one of mine
I've thought about her 1000 times 
yet she never had me in her mind 

I'm watching 
my happiness
walking from a mile 
away
and all I can do is stare

Equality Is An Attack

I would like to apologize for the suggestion that I spewed into your bubble.
I didn't mean to force it unto your lap, 
I didn't intend to question your sanity
or your values.
I just wanted justice-
that's why I broke my back to catch up here.
are you surprised that you were able to see me?

Emotion Is Heaven and Hell

with you next to me 
death doesn't scare me
you are a goddess
who makes me feel immortal

For, No 1

I can remember your face, no picture

I can remember your name, more torture

the name with the most unique spelling

The girl that can make my heart start swelling

our memories are the dreams that came true

for me, I've never knew, what it was like, to feel blue

until you started walking...

Bloom While You Can

I always think rain clouds
how dark and grey
and when it rains 
it will fade away
the mind doesn't have enough room 
for my gloom
but for the next day
as it rains
the flowers will bloom

My Side

I walk with my partner next to me
along the long sidewalk, the roaring machines I hear
on my left side.
We're silent, our legs are aching from walking.
I'm trying to figure out where to rest.
The park? a restaurant? her house? (impossible).

We go to the park and sat down on the bench. 
People are walking their dogs, playing basketball, playing tennis and such.
I wanted her, I wanted everything she held. 
The day gets darker, the cozy temperature gets colder.
My body couldn't handle it, so we got closer and closer;
our cheeks touch one another, but we don't kiss, we didn't kiss that night.
because if we did, I would've burst into flames.

Evil Doesnt Need Consent

as I'm siting by the window
observing the abandoned sky
on my leather chair
I observe no moon
just pure rain falling
drinking warm tea
at 1:30am 
I see people getting stabbed
I'm not calling anyone anymore
let them be dead for all I care
I notice red lights
the neighborhood 
turned their eyes on me
