Emotional Seeking Friendly Advice Poems
#emotional
My name is Carla
I have loved this website more than words can be used to describe
This is the place where I have bled out for fourteen years
Teenage angst, college breakdowns, chronic illness, religious deprogramming... From one extreme love affair to another
Y'all were here for it all
You were my witnesses, my confidants... My friends
No other website will be like this place
No people like the ones here
No place where I have friends like you
I've never shared my poetry anywhere else
This was it for me and I only learned that it was closing down today ...

no more (this is my stop sign)
No more loss
no more loss
I sit and wait
for your message
I sit and wait
for one more thing
to break me
...
Visions in my head
bottle of vodka
drink it down
Blink
Blackout
Wake up anywhere
wake up anywhere but here
Wake up
still myself
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
buy cheap wine instead
dissolve into the pale gold
Blink
Blackout
Wake up
start a fight
Blink
Blackout
Wake...

my choice is my calling
25 of 30
eternally healing...
means more than you might think
at least it does to me
it's sharing & giving
with no recompense
& then returning within
restoring & tending to personal needs
I give them my eyes...my ears...
my shoulders...my hands
help lift the weight off their backs
I comfort...& move with compassion
offer support
deflect & calm emotional storms
I sit with them
listen
take on their troubles
& when all is settled
...their world steady...

Cocoon of Strength, Wings of Longing
In a world so cold, I retreat, I hide,
Wrapped in silk, where my wounds confide.
A cocoon of silence, a space to mend,
To grow, to heal, to transcend.
Elusive—I vanish before you see,
The real me, the depths of my history.
The hurt, the scars, the past abused,
A child left bare, unshielded, bruised.
No guardian stood, no arms held tight,
No whispered words to say "You're alright."
So I vowed, with the fire inside my chest,
"When I grow, I’ll protect me best."
Wished upon stars for a knight to...

Blanket
I cleared the last of my things
from grandmother’s house.
Drawers coughed up receipts.
The closets held the breath
of people who died standing.
And there—
your blanket.
Folded like a flag.
Too clean.
Like someone still believes
you’re coming back.
It smelled like you.
That synthetic, animal smell
something that wouldn’t be washed.
I hate you.
It fits in my mouth like a coin.
My body remembered you
before I did.
Knees gave.
Teeth locked.
You’re...

Love, a Vanishing Mirage
I have chased love like a wayward star,
Only to find it flickering from afar.
A shimmering glow, a whispered dream,
But never the haven it once had seemed.
I poured my soul into hands untrue,
Sculpted castles in skies so blue.
Yet each foundation, cracked and worn,
Left me adrift, tattered, and torn.
They spoke in tongues of forever’s embrace,
Yet behind soft words lay a hollow space.
A lover, an imposter, a master of disguise,
Leaving me drowning in echoed goodbyes.
I stitched my heart with fragile thread,
But...
Only to find it flickering from afar.
A shimmering glow, a whispered dream,
But never the haven it once had seemed.
I poured my soul into hands untrue,
Sculpted castles in skies so blue.
Yet each foundation, cracked and worn,
Left me adrift, tattered, and torn.
They spoke in tongues of forever’s embrace,
Yet behind soft words lay a hollow space.
A lover, an imposter, a master of disguise,
Leaving me drowning in echoed goodbyes.
I stitched my heart with fragile thread,

~so simple~
It was never difficult
Until you got twisted in your skull
And saw me as a threat to your ego
So flimsy
False
Weak-
It was always so simple
Just to be there
As hands meet under silk sheets
As lips spill future desires
As heart beat in tandem
We were glistening souls
And you took that as violence
To twist me into a villain
In a story only you could read
For seeing you as whole
And not the ones who made you this way
But you made it about her
To protect the gentle sides of you
That I...

The Alchemy
I got caught in alchemy
But in the end it was only me
Our conversations were like magic
I’ll miss them the most it’s oh so tragic
So many similarities
Even laced with hilarities
I could not see how you didn’t feel this too
A meeting of the minds as well as bodies too
So much chemistry when we kissed
How is it wrong to feel such bliss
I was so sure you felt the fire
Of our infernal desire
I did not mean to cause any pain
I threw myself...

Clouded Desires
Just tell me
That the way I look into your eyes feels too real
That finger tips on your neck make your heart begin to feel
That music under neon lights made you miss me too much
I’m really not in any rush
I’m only being me
So gentle under an exterior so tough
But that has never been enough
Or maybe I’m too much of a mirror
For all the things you sadly fear
But I’ll still be here
“In your atmosphere” loud enough for the neighbors to hear
A mind that just won’t clear
Sobbing in moonlit baths
Finding any way to just...

I know I'm doing this wrong, but I can't stop
You look at me like I'm heartbreak
like you're waiting for me to move that
extra inch and break your ribcage open
on my way out the door
And I won't lie
sometimes I think of running
in the same way I always think of running
because there isn't a love that
has flooded my veins
that I haven't wanted to escape
and there isn't a love I've run from
that I could bleed out of my soul
Love haunts me more than hate
more than anger
more than fear
If it's possible to die from a feeling
I would...

I remember
I remember
I remember when we first met
The way you took away my breath
I remember the day I fell in love with you
The way we talked
The deal we made
The leaf we split that we plucked off the tree
"I'll cherish it forever" is what you said to me
I remember talking by the river
The sun was setting and I bet it was beautiful
I didn't even care to look
I was gazing into your eyes
No sunset could ever be as breathtaking
I remember walking to your house
The rain was pouring down ...

I choose you
They tell me I can't love you
Like I don't have a say
Isn't it my heart
Shouldn't I be the one who decides
whether or not to stay
They tell me I shouldn't love you
Because your best friend loves me
Why does that decide
whether or not this love should be
They tell me I can't love you
They say I'm a horrible person if I do
Why is it such a terrible crime
to be in love with you
They tell you you shouldn't love me
Will you listen to what they say
Will I be the one you choose
Will...
