Should I have memorized
The way your hands fit in between these lines
The way your fingers touched upon every word
The way they traced every letter’s curve
Writer’s Block
Unsending Messages
Unsent a message
Just as soon as you sent it
But I took a screen shot of the notification
A mouthful about nothing if you had to unsend it
A whole paragraph about things you’ve been feeling
Just to take it all back
To make me think that I’m seeing things
If it isn’t there now, did it never exist?
Typing, typing
Stop.
Offline.
Well, just say what you have to say
Or don’t bother at all
What’s the difference if you’re scared and always “unsending” your feelings?
Alright, let me say something, for a change:
I’m not sitting around waiting, so if you want something, express it.
Don’t take it back shyly. It’s not cute or appealing.
I like…
Determination.
Expression.
Confidence.
Hit Send!
Okay, wait… did I really just send that?
Bedtime Tea
Just like this tea, I am in need
Of some sugar, honey, and maybe cream
So hot and spicy
This ginger tea
To ease the pain
Of my unsettled woes
To ease the strain
On my severed hopes
To soothe my throat
After all this crying
To give me life
When I feel I’m dying
Just like this tea
I can heal my pain
Forget the sadness
Ignore the rain
Take joy in each sip
From the cup that’s life
Go on with my day
Until it turns to night
Just like this tea
I am in need
To be poured into a vessel
And be held
And ease
Holiday Music…Part 2!
Today has been an exhausting day, so today’s post is another playlist. These Christmas songs are a bit more pop and/or R&B. I hope you enjoy! 🎶🎶🎶
Lola M Kelly: Fresh Modern Holiday Mood (YouTube Music)
Is this love?
Uncomplicated surrealness
Thoughts from the deepest
Like a dream you can’t wake up from
But you can’t wait to fall asleep in
You’re not a challenge, but you challenge me
How can you be so different yet…
Feel so familiar
Too many characters, not enough space
But you simplified the message
And eliminated mistakes
A smiley face here, a thinking face there
We could learn a new word
And rename our whole world
Just my imagination
It’s just my imagination
When I open my eyes and see you next to me
Right?
When you text me
When you call me
When you say my name as if you’re falling
There’s nothing really there
Right?
It’s just my imagination
When you rush to my side when I’m feeling down
Right?
When you protect me
When you uplift me
When you say you’ll always be there for me
There’s nothing really there
Right?
It’s just my imagination
When you talk about the future and my role in it
Right?
When you say you need me
When you say you want me
When you tell me “please don’t leave me”
There’s nothing really there
Right?
It’s just my imagination?
Right?
Right?
Right.
11:11, a poem
11:11
Hello my friend
So good to see you again
Time to recycle old feelings
And renew these vows until the end
Look at my reflection
And you’ll see yourself
For your eyes see through my soul
And my soul is in tune with yours
Entangled
Do you remember when we first locked eyes?
It seems like we can escape time
Like we’ve met before in a previous life
Like we’ve known each other
Like you were mine
11:11
I think of you
And you just show up
No need to call you
You hear my thoughts
And respond in an instant
If I could choose a friend for the end of the world
I’d choose you again and again
I feel this melancholy like I’m missing you
I’m missing you like I’ve been with you
I’m feeling like I’m needing you
Not in the way that I can’t live without you
But I don’t want to be without you
11:11
You emerge again
You awaken me from my slumber
You ignite my hunger
You set the fire and walk away
Then tell me that you should’ve stayed
Come closer, without delay
11:11
My twin flame
