Stay here, in the rain
Tears without sadness
Gloom without night
Why say 'not nice weather'
There is no beauty in rain
They say
I see it, I say
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
If someone, anyone
Decides, says there is beauty
There is
Stay here, in the rain
Nowhere to go yet
Nothing to do
Don't leave
Experience all of it
First
See the new life
Created because of
The rain
Young leaves, new flowers
Stay here, in the rain
Halcyon aura
No rush like sunny days
Water appears from above
As if by a miracle
Do you see the miracle?
Do you see the peace?
I do
Remain with me
Stay here, in the rain

I love this! Rain is beautiful, and the idea that beauty is the eye of the beholder is a powerful one.

Bittersweet
You, the crazy cat lady
Me, the girl with too many dreams
Bittersweet
memories
Holding your hand
Parading down the promenade
Heads held high
For the last time
Bittersweet
promises
Taking your cats
Back to my house
Watching their pitiful mews
Lost, without you
Bittersweet
treasures
The lolly stick you told me
Was a key to a faerie world
When I was but a wee lass.
I would follow you to my death
Bittersweet
freedoms
Your light blinded everything
You were always in the spotlight
I'm not your little shadow anymore
Not sure who I am
Bittersweet
poetry
The words that tear at the heartstrings
And sharpen the pain in your soul
Cleanse you of your agony
Bend and shift the perspectives
of light
(Sorry this is so long.)

i disappear into the song
i let its highs
and upbeats
overshadow my lows
swallow me whole
dissolve my very being
like im nothing more than a mint
falling into a sea of songs
and falling apart like a crumbling leaf
devoured and writhing to a tormenting fire
and just like that my warmth and energy goes
somewhere
to a place where there is only a song
into a place where my lows are gone
and all there is is lively happy music
thrumming thrumming thrumming away
at a not-broken-anymore-heart
not here because
my lows are deeper than the grand canyon
and my heart is just as broken as ever
and i am glad i am invisible
for if they saw me id be crying
(October 25, 2021 - 11:30 am)
I like the rhythm of not-broken-anymore-heart.

regret
i regret
everything
i never should have said
anything
ever
it would have saved so much trouble
but now its said
and i hate it
but theres nothing i can do
im helpless
no one sees the me i want me to be
maybe becuase im not what i want to be
and so i give up
and i hate it
but theres nothing i can do
cause im helpless
and hopeless
in a world like this
and i hate it

oh man, this is so relatable. in fact, I am still beating myself up for something that happened 3 days ago! plus other things! aah! also, I came up with the line "I am ruled by regret" a while ago but haven't done anything with it, so do with it, so feel free to use it I guess XD
(October 25, 2021 - 1:03 pm)
Ack me too. In fact, I'm still beating myself up for something that happened almost a year ago- even though I corrected myself- brain, why can't you just fOrGeT?!?

... Why are you calling me out
(October 25, 2021 - 1:53 pm)
H-how are you writing my life-
(October 25, 2021 - 5:36 pm)
Before the sun can rise
The moon must fly
to the top of the sky
Then fall to the earth.
Before the sun can shine,
The rain must fall in its own time
Then be carried away
To its next stop.
Before you can get better,
You must get worse however,
For without being worse then you are
You cannot get better.
Before accidents happen
You must imagine
What will happen
At that time.
Before you can smile
You must be a child
For you can not smile
Unless you were a kid.

To see future
Could be great
But then again
Would it?
We would see our deaths
We would see the wars
That only exist in the future
And all the fails of the world.
I would rather see the past,
What has already been done
Because I would not see my friends
Die the way they will.
Instead I will see
The time that has past
The mistakes that we fixed
The wars that have past.
I will not dread my death
I will be happy that I did not die
In the past that has happened
Many years ago.

To be immortal would not be a dream
Just a Nightmare it would seem.
To live forever, watch everyone die
Would be a type of torture.
Instead I would take long life
And see the world.
I would be content
And eventually meet them all again.
Some say they wish to live forever,
but happens when this world ends?
Will you survive or die?
I do not wish to know,
So I took long life.
I shall grow up
And meet my friends again.
You shall be trapped forever.

I have been forced to admit that I have a crush :,D
if you were my muse
if you were my muse then i’d write volumes
about your laugh, and the way your face crinkles up every time you do it, only i can’t quite find the words
i would tell you why i always look at you from across the table maybe just a little bit strangely and why
i, the one who will always call the least amount of attention to herself in every situation,
i stare from the other side of the room just to see if you’ll smile,
or laugh if i’m lucky.
if you were my muse then i’d write epics
about every moment we ever shared, even the one in which we just compared foot sizes
even the ones in which i embarrassed myself completely
because somehow i remember them all—and maybe that’s just because there
haven’t been many of them—maybe it’s just because i’m
always smiling.
if you were my muse then i’d call you achilles
which might seem strange because he was a man & he was petty & he died at the unworthy hand of paris
but achilles died for someone he loved (at least that’s how i
would like to think about it) and you were the first to tell me to read the book
in which he fell in love with patroclus
and they were reunited at the end of all ends, were they not?
if you were my muse i’d immortalize you in words
let you go down in the histories of the world, of poetry & art & all the lovers who were doomed to die
let them remember the girl who would laugh so quickly
and the girl who’d try so hard to let her. if you were my muse,
i might love you forever and i might even be brave enough tell you so
and maybe it wouldn’t be doom to die, if we died happy.
