You wanted me to give you a galaxy
But I could only reach for the stars
You wanted my everything
But I only wanted your arms

Kyler Rivers Poem
How do you lose a friend you never had?
Ache from the pain that shouldn't be there?
I thought I knew you, pathetic and sad...
Believe me, I know
How do you love someone you never met?
Yearn for the love and comfort never truly offered?
I thought you loved me, but I was nothing but a pet...
But now, I know

Kyler Rivers Poem
In her eyes I see my future,
For my past, a suture,
A beautiful spectrum of color,
A magnificence that is all her.
In her locks I see a fire,
Her heart I keep and admire,
A love so pure, so bright,
A light for the darkest night.
In her face I see a home,
A place where I'm not alone,
A haven so pretty, unique, and stable,
I'll love her with every breath if I'm able.

Kyler Rivers Poem
I'm trapped inside a maze that's my own head
I don't know if I'd rather find a way out or be dead
Twists and turns, memories that burn
Burn the perfect picture of someone I thought I knew
I'm trapped in the raging fire you have created
I'm bleeding and crying, hurt and berated
The smoke of your actions fill my lungs
I'm choking on the thought of what you've done
I'm trapped in a cage and I can't let it in
The fallout of your actions, your despicable sin
The monsters you conjured are here
Here to destroy me, by telling the truth

Kyler Rivers Poem
I wrote you poetry
All it did was make you angry
So now I swing from the weeping willow tree
Waiting for the end of me
Oh weeping willow
Aren't they happy down below
Time for me to reap what they sow
Take the punishment and go

Kyler Rivers Poem
You held me when you were broke,
Your hands wrapped around my throat,
All my friends think I'm a joke,
For drowning, so you could float.
You lit a match so I burned,
I took it all, every hurt,
Trying to love you, I've learned,
You can't be the ocean, for a desert

Kyler Rivers Poem
Heading into 2025 but it kills me that you're not,
How can I celebrate dodging the reaper,
When it's you that he caught?
It hurts that you're forever nineteen,
There's so much I should've said or did...
How could I have forseen?
I hate you, I love you, I hate there's hole
It's so big and can never be filled
Why'd you do it Cole?
The end of things or the promise
Resolution has never felt so strong a word
Who would've thought this'd be the type that's honest

Kyler Rivers Poem
Why do I always feel guilty
Every time I talk about you
Got me feeling broke and quilty
Can't see, but I'm still black and blue
Everything is always my fault
Apologizing's all I know
I could've, should've stopped it all
It's all on fire 'cause I'm slow
Why do I always feel the shame
Every time I admit you're wrong
Got me wanting to take the blame
Can't see, but I've fought for so long
Micromanaging every fight
'Cause they always feel dangerous
As a kid I was up all night
In case you would endanger us
Why'd I always make excuses
Every time someone hates your acts
Got me denying what abuse is
Can't see, but I hid all the facts
I feel bad for you hurting me
Like it's my fault you got irate
When the wrong lane we'd be
Never wanted to aberrate

Kyler Rivers Poem
Your love tastes like cough syrup,
It never makes me cheer up
Fake smiles with false affection
Choking on faux confection
Your love smells like a Band-Aid
For all the cuts your hand made
Stop fights as your therapist
Take the blame for why you're pissed
Your love feels like anti-septic
It's made me a self skeptic
Everything I do is wrong
Tried to be perfect too long
Your love sounds like bed alarms
Even though you're where the harm's
Trapped with nowhere else to turn
Do you like watching me burn?
Your love looks like surgery
Rid of the bad, purgery
I was always too bitter
To your failed counterfeiter
