These are super short poems which I feel reflect my feelings the best they can without saying too much. I’ve never been one for beating around the bush. I’ll add as soon as I think I have more worthy ones to be read.
#1
I step out your door for the last time
My key chain is one key lighter
A piece of my heart forever left behind
#2
I don’t want back the love that I gave you
Cause I enjoyed the giving
#3
I didn’t fall in love with the sadness in your eyes
I fell in love with the prospect of making you smile
#4
There’s only so long until after you becomes life again
Only so long until without you becomes me
#5
I hope you learn to love yourself
Like I loved you
#6
I look into the mirror and try to see myself through your eyes
Then I realise
I’m much more beautiful through my own
#7
I knew what I signed up for when I chose the rollercoaster
But now I’m choosing the forest
#8
Sometimes I still think about dragging his ass to court
But I just want acknowledgement and empathy
And there’s no law that can force him
To be a decent human being
#9
How can I fit all the love I feel for you
Into such a tiny word
ex
#10
If I was your sun
You were my moon
You rarely showed me all of you
But I never loved you any less
#11
I feel like you’re getting closer everyday
Like a ship on the horizon
I’m still blinded by the sparkling waves
But you’re almost home
I don’t yet know your face or name
But my soul can feel yours
And one day my heart will recognize you
#12
I told my therapist about my crush on you
And he laughed as I giggled
And I cried a little
When he told me how far I’ve come
#13
I guess I should stop stealing glances
But your whole being draws me in
#14
I want to explore the deepest waters with you
Only to discover the real treasure
Is us
#15
It’s always been about fantasizing for me
But with you I don’t need to anymore
There’s nothing to project onto you
Nothing to adorn or embellish
Nothing more beautiful than what’s already there
#16
I was meant to gaze upon you lovingly
To have people tell you; she’s so in love with you
Because they can see it on my face
To support all of your endeavours
To hear your soul reflected in the music you make
And dance to it together in the kitchen we painted
in your favourite green
To not prefer you with or without glasses
Because you’re beautiful either way
To know and love every birthmark on your body
To just hold you after a trying day
But I’m not allowed to
And where is all this energy supposed to go?
#17
And just like that
I know another year has passed
When the chestnuts on the ground remind me of your eyes
And I get that itch to listen to The 1975
When it’s autumn and I turn inwards
I’m happy to find you there still
#18
Are we, right now, awake and looking up at the same moon?
Both reminiscing on our shared intimacies of the past few days
Wondering, where is the line between caring and loving?
And why even bother to find out?
In the dark and quiet hours of the night
I have many questions for you
And it’s okay if most of them will remain unanswered
#19
I’ve never met a man with so much love in his eyes
And such a soothing voice
You just radiate kindness
A softness that’s addicting
I never knew obsession could taste so sweet
#20
I promised myself I’d stop thinking about you
But you’re a poem I need to write
A song I need to dance to
A book I need to read
#21
Somehow I ended up in your arms again
I wish I could bottle that feeling
To save it for after we’ve said goodbye
Because it feels like home
#22
You remind me of a guy I used to love
But you’re twice the man he was
#23
Did you know?
Could you see my pupils dilate when you talked to me?
Did you notice my smile was different?
When it was you who walked through the door?
Did you know what happened inside me when we hugged?
Could you feel the warmth of my beaming admiration?
Did you have any idea of the feelings you awoke in me?
I don’t think you did.
#24
The teardrops freeze on my face
While I go someplace you’ll never be
It can only get better from here
Soon it will be spring
My tears will melt and hit the ground
And something new will bloom
#25
Half burnt candles
My sheets crumpled up
My hair smells like you
And I think I’m falling in love
#26
Your touch is loving nature
An embracing lake, a warming flame
A soft breeze against my face
A willow leaf brushing my shoulder
You’re gentle and pure, like the forest
#27
Everytime I think I’m on the brink of feeling free
Of losing myself in the moment with you
It comes back
Like a monster from childhood I though I’d put to rest
And I can’t tell you
Because I don’t want you to envision what I see
And having you see me as a victim
It would crush me
#28
I thought it could be you
But you’re not who I hoped you were
So I’ll return to the docks and ask the waves
To send me another ship
Carrying a heart that feels as familiar as my own
#29
A part of me
Was starting to love
A part of you
But that part of me was starved
And that part of you wasn’t real
#30
I felt suffocated in your adoration
Scared because you didn’t know me well enough
For that kind of admiration
Your touch wasn’t love
It was a need to be loved
I was someone to fill the void
And when you truly got to know me
You were gone
