Never Me (new poem)

I had on nothing that day

But wearing my heart on my sleeve

And trying my best

Not to think

Emotionless and pale

With grand ideas

You comforted me

And said without words

Things I longed to hear

And tearing down walls

All these walls of fear

I boast about things

But never about love

Trying to hide the disregard

And vulgar phrases

That I only think

No one wants to hear

The poor weep

I follow my shadow

It never follows me

Do I dare even speak?

When nowadays everyone comes clean

But never me

Never ending

Never me.

Tragic Tendencies

Tragic tendencies

Is it considered tragedy when you create them yourself

Teach me not to think

Teach me not to believe

I’ll teach you not to breathe

Breathing is so shallow

We all do it in vain

What should I even scream for?

This love is so shallow

No depth, all delusion

Illustrated to a point

A point of overcoming erase

Believe in what you want

Instead of what this is

I want to breathe into you

Release this from inside of me

Feel that you need me

Just as much as I need you to breathe

And overcoming this hell

And going out of our minds

The days are coming

All of it is coming

Are you ready for it

And are you ready to feel it more

I prayed for it

No matter how unimportant I felt

I always felt important to you

From the moment our eyes met

And our fingers touched

It was a reason to be

And a reason to see.
