Around This Time of Night
It was either dauntingly still and dark,
Or a rumble of chatter and the light sneaking under the door.
Around this time of night all that could be heard were the crickets and your gentle breath.
Your chest rising and falling so effortlessly.
At the same time it could be the lion's roar in your throat decreeing this the land of sleep.
Around this time of night I was still wide awake to notice all of these things.
I carefully got out of bed, draped myself in a blanket, and slipped throught the door to let a much needed shower of water to drive over the dry desert in my mouth.
I trecked back to your kingdom of slumber to place myself back besid
You are My Everything by burnt-bridges, literature
Literature
You are My Everything
You are my everything.
You are my smile.
You are my laughter.
You are my sadness.
You are my tears.
You are my pancakes and syrup.
You are my long drives down the Highway.
You are my good morning.
You are my goodnight.
You are my everything.
You are my bright shining day.
You are my calm dark nights.
You are my breeze.
You are my rain.
You are my left.
You are my right.
You are my stress.
You are my relief.
You are my everything.
My love for you
Is a neccesity.
But my love for you
Has to be flexible.
I could never beg you
To stay.
I could never try
To hold you down.
You live on the wind's breath.
Letting her take you
Wherever she may.
I have to love you
Like a child loves
A balloon.
To let you go,
And let you sail
In the wind
I'd have to say that
The mind
The body, and
The soul
Are all three very separate things.
At first I only figured
The body and
The mind
Were separate.
My body does a lot of things
On her own.
And lots of things
I wish she wouldn't do.
However.
I now realize that
The mind
Is not all in one piece, and
There is something more.
Something beyond just that.
There is a soul somewhere in there too.
My mind doesn't always do what I want either.
The mind
Can be a storm and in absolute turmoil, but
The soul
Can be the one at peace.
The one trying to calm
My mind
down.
My body
Does what she wants.
My mind
Has very little control.
My soul
Knows what's
The one thing I hate most about myself
The one thing I can't seem to get control of
The one thing that keeps me from being myself
Is going to be the one thing that pushes you away.
I'd like to think I'm a fun person to be around.
I'd like to think I can make people laugh.
I'd like to think I'm the life of a party.
But one thing keeps me from doing all of that.
I want to be strong.
I want to be brave.
I want to be independant.
I want to be happy again.
I didn't always sleep all day.
I didn't always cry over the smallest things.
I didn't always shut down and lose myself.
But now that's all I ever do.
I'm so dependant on external things.

This MIGHT be a Love Poem by burnt-bridges, literature
Literature
This MIGHT be a Love Poem
Do I love you?
Is this just pure infatuation?
It's beyond lust.
At least that I know.
What is the word I should use?
I like you.
But it's more than that.
I "like like" you.
But I feel there's more.
Is it love?
Or am I just crazy?
They say that love takes time.
Yet it took me no time at all
To fall for you.
I don't was to use the word "fall."
Makes me feel like i'm calling myself a fool.
I'm no "fool for you."
I'm just here for you.
I'm not crazy.
Ii'm no fool.
I'm not nuts.
I'm no
Just call me yours.

This is NOT a Love Poem
I'd write a poem about how I feel about you,
But I don't have the words to describe it.
I guess I'm writing a poem right now,
But it's not about my thoughts of you.
This poem is about my inability to describe them.
If I were to write a poem
Trying to describe
The way
I feel about you
There would be a lot less words
And more chains of onomatopoeias
That I would make to myself
Or hear in my head
When I think about you
Or when I am with you.
This is not a love poem.
This is not a confession of anything.
Other than the thoughts I have
When I'm thinking about you.

Depression isn’t true, my dear
Depression isn’t real.
It’s just a silly tragedy
You’ve forced yourself to feel.
Anxiety is fake, my friend
You wonder why it’s there.
But others have it worse than you!
Stop forming false despair.
Cutting is dramatic, love,
It’s ugly, and it’s dumb.
Why not just get over it?
Is the attention fun?
Suicide is stupid, dear,
And selfish, if I may.
Get over yourself, darling,
Can you hear these things I say?
Why aren’t you replying, love?
Oh, where could you have gone?
I never meant to hurt you, love,
Did I say something wrong?
Why aren’t you replying, dear
Finally in college!!!! Been here for about two weeks, going on three. Haven't written much lately. About to send a link of this to my COLLEGE english/lit professor :3
