My Poetry

I've been writing a lot of poetry lately, so I wanted to share it, but didn't really know a good place to do so, then I thought of you guys! So here it is, I'll continue to add more as I write them :)

Reflection

“You deserve better”

Yes, thanks, I know.

I know you’re right,

I know you mean well, 

I know they mistreated me,

I know I gave more than I ever received.

But I also know i’m not perfect,

I know we all make mistakes,

I know I messed things up.

I know I miss them every day,

I know our inside jokes hurt my heart now,

I know that if they told me they loved me, 

I’d let them walk all over me again.

Unlabeled 

We never said I love you,

I never got to call you mine,

The jokes the plans the dreams

Hang suspended between us,

Waiting to be picked up again 

Or to fall to dust and decay as years pass.

I don’t know what to call this,

I just know it hurts the most,

That I never even said 

I liked you

Nebulae

From dust to dust,

The birth and death of stars.

A celestial body,

Particles twisting brightly

In the empty depths of space,

Timeless, yet still measured by human mortality.
