Bottoms Up

A broken heart led me astray,
Taking me down another way
Lost in the night, drowning away
Melting as the curtains open up.

Walking alone in stubbornness,
A path I took, I won’t regret.
How long, how far, who could’ve guessed?
Knowing I’m alone is enough for me.

In your eyes,
Am I insane or am I just divine?
Am I alright or am I losing my mind?
There’s no escape this time…

Another “one shot”
Bottoms up, bottoms up,
Down the whole glass.
There’s no need to regret anymore.
What has passed, has passed.
Now bottoms up your glass—

A glass filled with tears,
A dish of some lies.
A perfect meal for me
Who was left behind.
Drowning away with time, and alcohol inside.

…haha….

First glass there’s not a pain to blind ya,
Eighth glass added some sweet with some coca-cola,
Eleventh glass down with whiskey and soda,
Downing the fourteenth with honey and coma.

To the fifteenth with a dance and a smile,
The nineteenth glass was a warm hug used to blind.
The twentieth drowned in the abyss of my eyes,
The twenty-fifth time, it was you I couldn’t find.

The thirtieth glass, dizzy as can be.
The forty-eighth was hurting my throat and me.
The sixty-first one hurt the most,
Reminder to myself I exist as just a ghost.

The eighty-seventh glass was a pain to my soul,
The ninety-first down with the lies that you’ve told.
The ninety-ninth done with a last of your smile…
Now a hundred…
Bottoms up.

…

Another “one shot”
Bottoms up, bottoms up,
Down the whole glass.
There’s no need to regret anything anymore.
The pain that I feel,
I’ll let these drinks all drown them away.

If the light of day,
Was to come again.
I hope to wake up
To feel better again.
And though all those drinks
Were to remove you from me.
I cry to myself
Over our past memories.

I’ll burn them all someday,
I’m sure.

A !

You tore me apart
Day by day
Ripping into my being as if I was yours
My flesh
My bone
The essence of my soul

But even with all this pain you caused me, you were a necessity

You kept my mind intact
You kept me sane
Even with the chaos and the violence around me
With you, I knew my mind was safe

But still
You tore me apart

You left me to the cruel broken world
Alone

You left me rotting from the inside out
No shelter, no safety

You crumbled as I held my image of you in my hands
My cold, dry hands

You shook, as if it wasn't your fault
As if you didn't expect to be erased from my memory the moment you left
As if you didn't expect me to move on to the next best thing

If you hadn't left, maybe I could've cared for you
Maybe I could've stayed
Protected you the way you needed
Stayed with you when you were alone in the woods
Not sure you'd live

But our destinies are intertwined
You'll rot alone, as will I
Because that is the fate we've written for each other

To rot

N !

When was the last time you saw me?

Do you remember my face?
The slope of my nose?
The edge of my jaw?

What made you choose me when our already weak connection was being severed by the painful passing of time?

Was it my eyes?
Or my smile?
My laugh?

More realistically, was it my legs?
My chest?
The touch of my skin?
The way my hair felt in your hands?
The way I trusted you with such a sacred part of my life?

What made you choose me to fill these days of boredom?

All I wanted was to take care of you

Because maybe if I cared for you enough, you would begin to care for me as well
Maybe when you wrapped your hands around my waist in front of your bathroom mirror, you'd see more than yourself

You'd see me
You'd see my tired eyes, begging for you're love
And maybe you'd give it to me

So I took care of you
I gave you everything you needed
Everything you wanted

I gave you my love
My mind
And my body

But it wasn't enough

It wasn't enough for you tell your friends about me
To tell your mom that I meant something to you
To tell yourself to keep me around

You gave me to smallest amount of yourself to keep me going
To keep me coming back
And with every time I came back, your confidence rose another hundred feet

And I kept coming back
I kept taking care of you

I know you still think of her
When you hold me in your arms, you imagine her in my place
Every lie you uphold for me is just to keep me around
A replacement
A sad excuse for one

I don't have her face which you loved looking at so much
I don't have her body that you loved to touch
I don't have her beautiful laugh that would ring through your ears
And I don't have the approval of your brother and your peers

I have my pale face, riddled with scars
I have my skeletal body, burnt by your cigars
I have my crackly laugh, unending for your humor
I have the ridicule of your friends, who said to leave me by summer

I could never live up to her
So continue to think of her

Package

In this world where nothing means a thing,
Where I care for nothing at all.
Is there a reason for me
To live here at all?

But for someone to come in my life,
For a new stranger came to me.
I learnt to live my broken life,
A little bit more easily.

Blurred away by all my shedded tears,
I touch what I can see.
Though I’m not sure what it may be,
The surprise comforts me.

These emotions piercing through me,
Grow stronger everyday.
My right side feels relieving,
While my left feels okay.

The shortest moments we’ve talked, I’m sad that they’ve passed.
But no worries now, we make them again.

Even if my broken heart continues screaming inside,
Even if my torn up breathers hurt me more, I’m still fine.
For the warmth I feel, I don’t want it to end.
“Happiness for me”, a package you’ve sent.

In this world where time and time again,
Reality won’t change.
The dreams of some connected,
Won’t ever be erased.

In this world that’s full of tiredness,
Where we still live on our lives.
Whenever life pushes you too hard,
You can rest by my side.

Comforting are the greetings, I meet with everyday.
The smallest ones will still make my day.

Even if my broken heart continues screaming inside,
Even if my torn up breathers hurt me more, I’m still fine.
For the warmth I feel, I don’t want it to end.
“Happiness for me”, a package you’ve sent.

Even if the world around is pushing you down again,
Even if the world is playing games with you in the end,
These distant hands, will be there to hold you tight.
“Happiness for you”, is a package I’ve sent.

There’s no need to pay,
I just hope you smile in the end.

@TryToDoItWrite

geez everyone's poems are so emotional and heartfelt………mine doesn't really live up to that:

WRITE POETRY

I can’t write poetry in the mornings.
It’s so bright and the world is in
Sharp color and I can’t think
Of faint nothings
With a fresh new sun
beating down on me

It’s only in the evenings
When the blazing heat
Turns musky and the sharpness
Dulls and lines blur
That my mind runs freely

Then it’s so easy
To repeat the words
The sunset whispers to me

Quiet, she says
Listen, she says
Can’t you hear it?
The crickets and
Rising moon sing in
Harmony.

And I fancy I can hear it,
If their song were to sound
Like the day’s plans,
Worries, and schedules being
Put to rest under the blanket
Of dusk’s full vacancy.

It’s okay to tuck them in.
I’m sure they’ll wake in the morning.
But in the evenings,
It’s best to let them sleep and
Do nothing for once and
Maybe then
Write some poetry

Essence

Take an orange.

Just one is fine.

Squeeze it as hard as you can.

Ask yourself, what sort of substance will you get from that orange?

Clean water?
No.

Wine?
No.

Or perhaps…
Lemonade?
Definitely not.

You are guaranteed to get orange juice, because that is what’s inside the orange.

If you know that inside you, you’re an artist. Don’t force yourself to be a doctor.

If you know that inside you, you’re an athlete.
Don’t force yourself to be a scientist.

If you know that inside you, you’re an architect.
Don’t force yourself to be a biologist.

Just because people tell you that “it will be good for you” from their point of view, doesn’t mean you have to agree.

For every force and pressure you put onto yourself, the result will only be disappointment.

You can never squeeze an orange and expect milk to flow from it.

You cannot change the essence of a person.
But what you can do, is support them as they are. This goes… for yourself as well.

Treat yourself to happiness,
Only then will happiness await you beyond the closed doors of your future.

Similarly Different

A crime scene,
In the midst of the night.
A beautiful yet sinister
Line of sight.
There’s nobody around me.
There’s no one to see.
There’s no one to judge me
To who I may be.

Someone, somewhere, has died alone
A heart of gold, a body of stone.
There’s not a cure, to all his pain
For no one cares, to share his rain.
Leaving alone, so hard to do.
To close the door, a silent tune
Was breaking through, but in the end
There’s nothing there, but a soft ‘amen’.

Oh why was I…
Enduring all this pain?
And why was I…
Afraid to let it go?
Why was I…
Too scared to let it show?
Oh why?
Why…?
Why.

Within all the sighs I have heard in my life,
Could it be that the answer’s…
Right in front of my eyes?

That’s right.
It’s fine if I am left alone tonight.
It’s fine as long as you are happier in time.
I’ll gladly see myself out,
Of a life of someone so kind.

You’re right.
I’ll gladly disappear without a fight.
I’ll leave my doors closed so you won’t
Have to see me cry.
At the end of the day,
I will leave all my thoughts to decay.

Someone, somewhere, has been living alone.
No one to take care of, and no one to care for.
The roses’ thorns have pierced his skin.
Then all of its beauty was carried by wind.
Through time and time, the roses corrode.
And die, and die, at the end they’re disposed.
The autumn’s skies, a beautiful red,
But what is there to love? When your heart is so dead?

Oh why was I…
Faking through it all?
Why was I…
Too weak to risk anything?
Why and why…
Have I been so weak?
When all of my reflections,
Reflect someone else I don’t know.

It’s fine.
When the person who was dead was in my mind.
The actions of the past has led me down the road I’m on.
Too late to turn back,
But too soon to be gone.

And I,
Will embrace my fate with happiness and I…
Will not cry again for all the tears I shed
Go somewhere I couldn’t even know.
Where the roses have bloomed,
Where the light will follow you.

The sky…
A beautiful and destined demise.
A curse in all it is and I will
Cry into the sky until I’m fine.
Hopefully my tears are hidden—

I…
Will love the pain, will learn to love my mind.
It’s all inside my head and I will fight until I see the end of the line.
I will stand again sometime tonight.

Even if I’m different,
To who I was before.
Even if I’ve murdered,
The man I was before…

I will try if life’s worth living for.

okok i know, not much better than the immediately-after-reading thoughts but
yea there they are

@Oakiin

ig I got a couple-

Carcass
Summer saw them in the valleys
Spring in the fields.
Winter came, they stayed in their home by the fire.
In fall they moved through the trees
The sun dancing on the leaves
By summer again they were wiping their tears on their sleeves.

Gutter
Small trickles of red on cement
Heading for the gutter
Where they belong.
Glittering rain on cement
Heading for the gutter
Where it belongs.
Darkness in the sky
Sucked to the gutter
Where I belong.

Unnoticed Wounds

He was a dog
A stray dog
A wild dog

He bit people
Dug his teeth into their fearful hearts
But in a way that
Most of me found justifiable

His eyes were green

He
Sat outside my window
Panting, watching the summer
Patiently

I will lock the window, but break out the panes of glass. They will glitter like stars in his brindled fur

He sees me and smiles so very widely
Like the sky in the west
He knows I’m afraid, knows I am not afraid
He does not know why

My eyes are wet

My mouth moves, he does not hear
Even with those sharp pointed ears

I came for you, he says.
He rises, slow and easy
A king of the sun
His paws
Don’t know they are bleeding
Until
He
Falls
Back
Down

This Nonsense is Like a Journal

When I write about darkness
It’s as if I’ve dipped my fingers in ink
Or sticky tar-like cobwebs.

The words drip off me and cling to the paper
Wet and heavy
Soaking through to the surface of my desk.

When the darkness dries, it is flakey
And smudges if you touch it.
A red incense rises up when set in the light.

Maybe you don’t care about
this darkness when you read it
Or maybe it drowns you
Funny, I don’t know which option I prefer.

(There's much more where those came from (almost four year's worth lol), but I'll drop the best ones later when I have more time. This is an awesome thread and I don't know why I've waited so long to contribute to it! ^^)

@CasiCasino group

Let me bring this back to life real quick

”And with you, I can really smile”

As time goes, the grass grows.
Hear the music, of the meadows.
A strange new world,
One you can hold.

Lakes up high, blue fogs rise.
One step more, you can explore…
What’s out the door—

In every heartbeat,
In every breath deep.
There’s a soul waiting to be found.
There’s a heart screaming out its sound.

Fireflies shining bright,
Fly ahead, soar through the sky.
Watch the stars as they light the night.
Witness life as we were designed.

“And with you, I can really smile.”

Breezes fly, cross the skyline.
Butterflies play, in the sunlight.
Every new day,
Adventures wait.

Lakes up high, blue fogs rise.
In this path, full of surprise…
But with you by my side—

In every heartbeat,
In every breath deep.
You bring life as your eyes meet mine.
You’re the one I came here to find.

Fireflies shining bright,
Fly ahead, soar through the sky.
Through the dawn and darkened nights,
Through the rise and fallen times.

“And with you, I can really smile.”

When I look upwards,
Even through distance faraway.
I see your starlight,
Forever shining bright—

In every heartbeat,
In every breath deep.
In this world, enveloped with time.
In this life, could I call you mine?

Fireflies are shining bright,
Fly ahead, soar through the sky.
See the buds of our blooming light,
See our love floating in the night.

“And with you, I can really smile.”

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

What a lovely poem! ^^
I also have one:

Aloe

Myriad of dewdrops
The dark feet step slowly
Thin, obliqued feathers trace ripples in the pearl sky
Or maybe breezy loops in the water.

Considering the plum-colored silk
She has thoughts so quiet
Not even the dream-flies can hear them
Gold spider lilies glitter knowingly in the folds.

Slowly

Books always write about the sweetest times in evenings.
When the sun would start to settle down its shining.
His favorite dress of hers, his eyes and how they’re sparkling.
So many moments, so many stories.
So many tales to tell to the lonely.
In the end, it’s the tale of you and me.

The time I kissed you, oh I wish you remember fondly.
How we met within the forest under shadows of the trees.
How you look into my eyes and how you see me.
Though it’s been long, I won’t ever be gone.
No matter the days, I wait here for as long…
As you want me to wait for you.

Slowly I’ve loved you,
Slowly I fell through,
Slowly but surely,
I have fallen in love with you.
Slowly I want to act just like you,
Slowly I fell for you.

Slowly I’ve loved you,
Slowly I fell through.
Slowly I feel
Like I need you with me…
Because sometimes
To love is to take things… slowly.

Along the gardens of the summer’s sky, your smile shines.
There’s no need to hesitate for you are here by my side.
No storyline would fit our love perfectly like yours and mine.
There is a reason, there’s something certain.
Maybe it’s destiny, or some sort of fate.
But I know, happiness comes everyday.

Slowly I’ve loved you,
Slowly I fell through,
Slowly my feelings
Showed themselves to you.
Slowly I want to learn to love you,
Surely I’ll stay here too.

Slowly I’ll love you,
Slowly I fell through.
Slowly was my life
Before I had you.
Because sometimes…
To love is to take things… slowly.

Because I know…
I’ve grown in love with you…
Slowly.
