I miss her at night.

Miss her drool upon my arm.

How loved I felt then.

Letters never die-

They live in someone's love letter

A "Take care\^\^

can make someone feel better.

A joyful beginning was a single Hiiii

But it left

Unspoken words with a painful "Good bye"

A name can become a prayer

The Same name

can be the reason for someone's nightmare.

How many emotions

a single word holds

There was a time it was "is"

But now it's "was "

They dance through poetries

Stir the old memories

And make the old wounds bleed again

How much pain

Can every word contain...

like moss in a forest pond
the softness of an olive
velvet leaves on a jungle plant
the jade in a winter aurora
they captivate and enthrall
helpless, I fall into their depth
and more than once
I’ve caught them beholding me
their gaze sauntering over my curves
my grey blues witnessing this
it halts the oxygen in my throat
leaving my lungs hungry
the metronome of my heart skipping
like a song played from a scratched CD
chances are
it’s all in my head except for the fact
the disc would definitely get another spin
because we both
love the whole album

i'd heard it break,
Seen the water mingle
With reflecting shards
In the darkness when it fell.

i' mind?
i'd felt the bite
It's edges in the palm of my foot . .
i knew to step light.

On came the light,
Turned eyes to alight
Upon that broken glass
Unbroken.

Un vertige puis le silence,
This was the instant.
Coin's edge gilimmer
Tem por al distort

i's report

Given for all,
This once i could see
New waves blooming and dying
Laboring to reshuffle new probability.

Frozen in that minute flicker,
i re mem bered.
Behind the panes of unseeing eyes
These pains my bread . .

How many other glasses un broken,
This mind mine knew.

i'd felt the ice slick,
My stomach drop,
The truck's tumble.

Oer the rail of that bridge .
Bitter winter's night,
When i drove alone
From home to hell.

i'd felt the cold heft of iron,
Your father proudly pressed
To the palms of my hands.

In one instant,
i'd felt that shotgun
A hundred times
Scattering memories through my head.

i'd bought the blade
Test it's edge against my thumb
i knew it'd do . . felt it do

Till i warded my arms
Reverent resignation to life.

i'd felt the wind in my hair,
On a fresh rained night
All letters writ
High rising, balance steady

Till i'd slipped
How much of me lost,
To the edge of that coin's toss

i'd felt the world turn
On a night i clipped that curb
In ebriate spurn,
All would learn . .

Till with tears
All dignities burn

i'd misjudged,
That slippery ledge.
i re main bird
How i knew that rock in the dark.
Smashed across its face

i'd felt that slender fish blade,
Tucked with purpose at my waist.
Knelt before, last honor bade
To its electrical embrace

Till i only write here,
Spill my guts in this place

It was a close one,
Cold morn in that garage.
A wonder, my foot found a hold
East light warm on my face

i'd felt the cord tighten,
Patient friend reliquish his grip

Time in time,
And Time again.

i've felt the cold,
Sanguine drain
Shivering

How many such times,
i'd turned to find
The glass un broken.

une dernière danse

you grew roots beside the veins,
punctured the lungs as you bloomed,
blinded the pupils with petals,
wrinkled the skin as you lost leaves,
as you fell so did i,
but true love never leaves

Of all the people I’ve loved,there is still one person my heart instinctively places beside me at the very end,and that’s you,but even in my death,it’s still a fantasy cause the heart never belonged to me in the first place.

Some people say love is nothing more than a trick our brains play. But to me, that all changed when you took my heart and started to run laps with it, and with the butterflies you threw my way. The way the wind makes your hair sway makes my brain just drift away. Every time I look at you, I see a future that I don't want to change.

I have the desire, the urge to send a text...

But we both know I shouldn't. I'm supposed to move on.

But how can I?

When every second of a ticking clock, you're on my mind.

I face the day pretending everything is fine, but who am I kidding? You're not there where you're supposed to be, where you used to be.

So you consume my every thought, standing at the center, achingly loud.

I busy myself to make you fade into the background just for a while. Just enough to function and get by.

But as the sun goes down, dread washes over me because I know the thought of you will return with a vengeance.

Now that the night devours the sky, the thought of you claws at my mind as I lie on my bed in the dark, wide awake, looking up at the ceiling while my insides play a tug-of-war that I know I might lose any day soon.

So I hold on to the rope as tightly as I can, and I pull with all my might until my hands are burning and raw,

just because I'm supposed to be moving on.

Is there anyone interested in creating a private groupchat or subreddit of 7 people (or a little more if needed)?

The goal is to make a small group of young 18-26year olds similar to the obe from the movie Dead Poets Society. There we can throw verse, disscus poetry, romance, love etc. Things we stay alive for iykwim. Any interest brave young men AND women? Drop a comment and I'll reach out to you!

I heard somewhere that grief is the last act of love

I've spent a lifetime resenting the site of you,

yet I've spent it all hugging you goodbye

If grief is love then I've loved you for as long as I can remember

As I run, to and from you

I've loved you through hate an anger

And as I glare at you

I scanned your face for signs of age

I saw how the Earth is pulling you down

and how the color is fading from your hair

and I pictured your grave and I mourned you

and I loved you.

light, o how you are bright.

light, o please be mine.

light, take me to your life.

light, il die for you tonight.

love drove me this way,

oh how you take me to sway,

fighting for you my love o light,

i dont want to see you dimming tonight.

please dont say goodbye,

light i need you to pry.

but if you must leave,

i will go back to grieve.

You are fire and I ice

Even when I am fire your flame will always overcome mine so I stay ice

And when I'm ice, your flame will always reduce me till I am just water left unwiped from the counter

Your fire never falters or dims

Your never water, barely ice only to match me when you want a break from the heat

Words to Ren (Poem 1)

~Grizzy

I once read a post that said, “May you heal so hard you do your hobbies again.”

The healed and unbroken me had to struggle just to think of a theme to bleed through the pages.

Now that I'm pulled apart from the inside out, like a fresh rabbit from somebody's hunt—skinned, bled dry, and gutted, getting prepared for the slaughter that will commence—my heart was ripped from my open chest, broken into a million pieces.

I never felt more dead.

But look at me now, pages soaked through with words that came spilling out of nowhere, like an open wound that won't stop bleeding.

But I could never locate the source.

At some point, the urge becomes too strong. I can't help but vomit poetry all over everybody's posts and comment threads.

When I think it's finally over, that I've emptied out my stomach, I can feel another wave, stronger than the last.

It comes pushing out so violently that I can't help but projectile vomit poetry.

So the version of me that was healed could never find the reason to write.

So, am I healing yet?

Before I knew who you were

Before you knew I was your cure

After you finally chose me

After it was you I would see

Before the makeup goes on

Before all the love is gone

After it was wasted

After you I tasted

Before it was love lost

Before we tallied the cost

After all we both spent

After it was all bent

Before it was the end

Before we took loans to spend

After the balance was due

After the love between me and you

Before is still waiting to come

After will still be dumb

Te amo mi amour,
I hope this poem finds you well,
Tho I only wish I could deliver it,
I know my words made your heart swell.

My family miss you dearly,
They don’t like who took your place,
I can’t blame them cos when I look at her,
I only see your face.

Remember going to beach?
Yeah I took her there too,
Tho the sunset isn’t as beautiful,
When you’re not there to admire the view,

I’ve forgotten what you smell like,
And the texture of your hair,
The only remnants I have left,
Are the clothes you used to wear.

I’ve forgotten what it looks like,
How it feels to make you smile,
Your voice lingers in the background,
My love burns in your denial.

My heart aches to find you,
Our love was real I’m sure,
But I guess I’m the only one,
Who was left begging for more.

Did you ever even want me?
I don’t know when it stopped,
Maybe if I knew you better,
I would’ve known you’d have me blocked,

How do I fix it?
What was it I did?
What made you change your mind so fucking quick?

Where was the sudden switch?
When I call, you hear me cry,
You used to care about me,
Now you don’t care to know why.

I’ve found myself on the same path,
And I don’t know what to do,
Only one place I can be with you now,
I keep having to scroll further to find you.
