POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I don't have one style. Sometimes my poems rhyme, sometimes they have alliteration or just a simple rythm or none of the above. I like writing relatable poems.
You were just
It’s been a month
I knew you for two
It technically means
I should be over you
I’m embarrassed
Of how I feel
Why am I still crying
When time should heal
Memories flood back in one big haze
Moments together, where you swept me away
It makes me so angry
Cause you weren’t that great
You were just nice
You were just fine
Just something good for once
In my f*ing life
I may be complicated
But I treated you like a god
I waste my time
On guys who are just nice
I miss your...

Change for you
Please tell me
What does she look like?
Is she taller?
What colour are her eyes?
Is she a big reader?
A fun partygirl?
Or more the athletic type?
She does not like you
The way that I do
I could be so much more
Just tell me what you want
Imagine my love
in her body
I would do that for you
I never liked me anyway
I don't need to stay the same
Honey, for you I would change
Maybe if you could love her
I could like her too
Always wanted to be actress
She could be my big break ...

Stuck
Look at you all smiling and glowing
By not guessing but knowing
Or following whatever seems to lead you
To whatever you desire
I am tired, just not wired
The way you are is my dream come true
Just stuck, stasis, both feet forever on the ground
Stuck, my place is still here, never up or down
Growing and changing, but never really moving
I feel like my fate is to forever be pushing
Stuck, while they float around
Stuck, alone on the ground
By not guessing but knowing
Or following whatever seems to lead you
To whatever you desire
I am tired, just not wired
The way you are is my dream come true
Just stuck, stasis, both feet forever on the ground
Stuck, my place is still here, never up or down
Growing and changing, but never really moving
I feel like my fate is to forever be pushing
Stuck, while they float around
Stuck, alone on the ground

In his arms
It should make me happy
He makes her feel warm
Happy to know
she is safe in his arms
and the sight of her laugh
fills him with glee
happier than ever is not happy for me
her happy ever after is not happy for me
those foolish butterflies
that I recognise
look so much better
in her pretty eyes
as if I could come close
to all that they will be
she keeps that happiness far away from me
her happy ever after is not happy for me
I am a monster
with all the time I spend
secretly hating
her...

Just right
I did the right thing
Again, just right
Not causing a stir
So mature, really growing
Listening to my feelings
And my needs, but taking
Into account theirs
All their many many needs
Honesty, kindness
Just right, but not righteous
So why am I nauseous
And exhausted
Goodness tugs at me
Grabs my shoulders
Pushes me up and down
I want to go down
Lower
All the way to the bottom
Screaming and tearing
Throwing a tantrum
Making a scene
Be obscene and aggressive and awful
I would love to be...

Just once
Just once you might see
Though it is a rarity
You'll remember for infinity
Definitely I guarantee
With great intensity
Bigger than humanity
It'll drive you to insanity
Because the prosperity
Of this peculiarity
Makes you red
When you can't breath
Immensely, yet friendly
Like a panther riding a jetski
A plant singing a medley
A toddler driving a Bentley
The everlasting memory
Wait...
What was I talking about?
Though it is a rarity
You'll remember for infinity
Definitely I guarantee
With great intensity
Bigger than humanity
It'll drive you to insanity

When you can't breath
Immensely, yet friendly
Like a panther riding a jetski
A plant singing a medley
A toddler driving a Bentley
The everlasting memory
Wait...
What was I talking about?

Blame
For a year you pretended to be my friend
While hoping to end up in my bed
Now I don't trust guys, it's quite sad
And that's what I blame you for
Half the days I had to wonder where you had been
Why you didn't text me, but had talked to them
It made me feel small and unimportant
And that's what I blame you for
You didn't want me to be at your birthday party
Scared that your friends wouldn't find me funny
Made me question why you would even want me
And that's what I blame you for
You wouldn't kiss me after I had had...

Carefree
I wished your sun did not go down
You don't deserve a moon
You don't deserve to close an eye
You should be left with your thoughts and nothing but your thoughts
Those mean close to evil thoughts
The ones that make your skin itch for something sharp
But you'll sleep safe and sound
You're fine with your actions
Why wouldn't you be?
I'm no longer your issue
I am just a moment, a phase
A memory that had to be left behind
It's over so you don't care
You don't care
That's why my sun is still up
You don't care ...
You don't deserve a moon
You don't deserve to close an eye
You should be left with your thoughts and nothing but your thoughts

But you'll sleep safe and sound
You're fine with your actions
Why wouldn't you be?
I'm no longer your issue
I am just a moment, a phase
A memory that had to be left behind
It's over so you don't care
You don't care
That's why my sun is still up
You don't care ...

You're free
You don't owe me any texts anymore
I can't get mad at you like I did before
First begging me to stay in my life
Then hanging me out to dry
No, I can't force you to try
I guess I hoped
That you would still like me
Even when love is off the table
I thought that we'd be able
To stay close
Like you promised then
Now you're not attached to me
You're so happy to be free
I forgave you for breaking my heart
Forgave the lies though they tore me apart
Cause no harm was intended
You wanted to be...

Transparent
I wish you were see through
So I could pretend you weren't here
So I could breath
So you would leave
But you wouldn't disappear
I wouldn't be confronted with your face
I wouldn't have to think about the lies
I wouldn't think about the waste
Of future I saw in your eyes
You said: "I love you"
When looking into mine
It turned out not to be true
Though I know you tried
Please be more transparent
So I wouldn't be alone
You could still be my friend
You would still be right there
I could breath
Not empty ...
