Strangers
He sits there in a somber silence I love watching him like this in thought he seems so at peace he's just writing and taking all the feeling from his day and putting on to paper without care he is himself in this moment and I want to see him like this always. “Dear” I say “This is you right now you should be like this all the time I feel like I'm holding you back” “beautiful” he explains “I'm completely myself when I'm with you that's why I write all the time if I wasn't writing you would have something to worry about see the love we have makes me write more” I left and I never turned back I told him I needed to find out who I was because I didn't have that feeling of openness
She was perfect and now everything reminds me of her I hope she doesn't move on there a spark of hope still in me that's telling me to wait I remember hiding under your bed while the pancakes were still cooking or laying out under the stars in your backyard and accidentally falling asleep with you or just walking on the beach getting milkshakes and ice cream and stuff to make smores or how we would dream about living together with kneesocks the Shiba Inu or how we could talk for hours about nothings at all and how nervous I was when I first ate dinner with your family that I just said a whole bunch of facts. It helps to write them away you still have the quotes of all the stuff we did in your journal I'm trying to move on so that when I see you next you'll be a friend and we will be like how we started out as strangers
In Summary
Thank you a phrase that didn't leave my mouth as much as it should have but everything looks good in hindsight
You made me a better person
I really never thanked you for that because I didn't realize that I was no good for you
Looking back I felt immeasurably guilty I just wish that I saw it sooner
I hope your happy
I hope that you do better than the person that I was
I know you will because you were always better than me
So just have a great life
Thank you I feel I have finally have gotten over you
Thanks to writing and many other outlets
I have become a better person
Not as good as you but just a better person
Thank you so much i'm sorry for hurting such a great person
Happiness
I stop at the same stop sign every night
I wait there way to long
Staring at the lights that beam from your house
The lights feel as if they come from an interrogation scene
I wonder if you ever look out the window from that kitchen that I remember so well and think is he there
And I wonder if I will stop taking the way home that passes your house
I wonder if I can forget these memories
I wonder if I can write a happy poem for once
Happy moments
Stop the thoughts of you
I'm egotistical
I complain to much
I'm condescending
I wish I could live happily alone
I want someone
But I don't want anyone
I'm super blatant with these
I can't fathom the thought of you
I want you to be here
I want to be over this
I feel like sending you all of these putting them in those shitty letters like you gave me
I have had a great date idea in my head for while now
I'm never going to use it
I'm never going to be happy
Wow I do complain a lot
I miss that I had somebody to talk to
I want to look back and think that wow I was such a little bitch
Why can't I do that now
Bundling up happy thoughts to burn them into the bottom of pots
I will not become the butt of jokes
I will not live on in only notes
I want to live on in your happy moments
Perfectly Alone
Two sides of the same coin
Vastly different worlds yet I like them both
I fill the niche like a liquid
Moving in and out of friend groups
And clicks
I feel like it's so crazy it's bad
My mind moves in crazy ways
Pushing life into a distant gaze
Like a haze of unimportant events
I feel like I can't live like myself I feel out of place in most places
So I guess it's perfect
Perfectly different
Perfectly alone
I guess I'm just a person who can fit in everywhere and nowhere all at once
Better Man
I feel it coming but I know that I'm lit I'm not typing correctly help meet I'm having a out of body experience everything is moving in slow motion but worse it's like my eyes are running slow like they are frames behind I experiencing hyper focus and nausea when try to look at a phone instead of hyper focused at my inside thoughts I have looked outside of myself and focused on all other conversations I think I do this to obtain notes and details this is moving I'm all in my head and I can't muster up to speak it's a lot of headache.
I never thought I would be the person today
I expected better
I made mistakes
I had wrong decisions and regrets
That writing above is my drunken and high ramble
My mind was trying to scientifically explain what I was feeling
I feel like I have failed
I did this to experience the feeling
In this quest of self exploration I lost why I wanted to be smart in the first place
I want to grow as a person
I want be better than those that raised me
I want to prove I won't slip into a life of drugs and self hatred
As I'm writing this I feel like crying
I know I can change this
I just don't want to lose myself again
I need to be a better man
Life Forgets
The days start coming and they don't stop coming
Until one day they leave you buried deep in the ground
But days still happen
Time still moves
People move on
Life forgets
Unless you do something so big that you get the world talking
Then you can metaphorically skip death
Sure all thought from your mind will be gone and you'll never remember anything or have thought ever again
But people that do will talk and thoughts of you exist
Isn't that enough
I’m happy?
I'm happy?
But I never stop to think why
Why am I happy
I think it's because I haven't thought about you
But I have I have seen you but I can't speak
I'm not myself around you any more
I wish I could be
Its days like these where I feel content
Where the space in between the words leave my mind open for thought
I miss the fact that I could say anything around you
I miss that I could talk to you at any time I wanted
But if people ask I say I'm over you
It's true.
Relax
It's nights like these when I can relax
Relax
I never thought I would say that
It scares me to relax
It scares me to settle
I want to find the time for happiness and joy
But it never comes it makes story's in my mind
It vexes me to come and enjoy it
I never thought I would be afraid to be happy
But I feel if I'm happy I'm doing something wrong
I feel wrong
I feel like sadness and stress is the right feeling to have
I guess I'm different
But in the same sense I'm so similar to every I have ever met
