Let Me KnowIf you love me, let me know
I don't mean to beg
But please don't let me go

If you don't want me, tell me now
I'll be able to handle it
Even if I don't know how

If you don't want to see me, give it to me straight
I'll walk out of your life
But I'll never forget your face

If you want my friendship, don't be afraid to ask
I'm willing to move forward
The rest is in the past

Just let me know what it is you want
And I'll be happy to do so
To me your happiness means so much
I'm willing to let you go

You Captivate MeHonestly,
I don't know how to tell you this...
But you constantly enter my thoughts
A smile crosses my lips
When I see your name light up my phone
Butterflies invade my stomach
Whenever I see you smile

A smile so powerful
That I can't help but smile back

Actually,
I reach for you in my sleep
Desperately wishing to find you
Hold onto you
Be safe and comfortable
In a way only you can make me feel

Not being able to adequately
Explain my feelings for you
Tells me that this sort of thing
Doesn't happen every day

Frankly, love, you captivate me

SomedayMaybe someday you'll love someone who doesn't love you back
Feel the emptiness of missing someone who just doesn't miss you
You'll do everything for this person and it still won't be enough
Hold them when they cry
Listen when they need to talk
Understand when they get upset
Make them laugh just to see them smile
But it's not going to make them love you back

Maybe someday you'll find the person who makes you happier than anyone ever has
The one you can't see yourself without
Who makes it difficult to imagine yourself with anyone else
And then they'll leave
They won't feel the same way and disappear

Maybe someday you'll wake up thi

InfiniteWhen you take my hand,
my breath goes with it.

You're like a book that's too suspenseful to put down.
You keep me wanting to turn the pages to watch the story unfold.

The surprises seem infinite.
With each detail I learn,
I become even more thankful that you came into my life.

Like a song on repeat for hours,
I never tire of seeing your smile or hearing your voice.

With you,
the adventures are endless.
You never cease to amaze me.

Each day that passes,
I fall a little more.
And I know you're there to catch me
before I hit the floor.

ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.

SometimesSometimes
I wake up from my dreams smiling
Because I can feel your arms around me
Then I remember...

I wonder if you think about me too
If you miss talking and laughing with me
Holding me close and protecting me
But maybe that's selfish of me to think

Do specific songs you hear on the radio
Make you tear up? Remind you of when we
Were happy and things were going well?

I wonder what you feel when you hear my name
Or when you see a car that looks like mine
Does your stomach drop?
Mine does

Do you use your depression as an excuse
To hide that how you feel is because of how hurt
You are like I do? Too afraid to admit that you
L

I Can TryI can listen to everything you have to say
And try my best to make you feel better
Make the difficult times easier for you

I can hold you close and make everything else disappear
Let you take out your anger and frustration
Promise not to go anywhere

I can tell you I won't leave you when things start to fall apart
But that doesn't mean you would do the same
When things start to get hard

I can love you with all of my heart
Miss you so much it hurts to breathe
But that won't make you come back
Make you want to be with me

I can try to convince myself that there's someone else out there for me
That you don't still own my heart

GhostThe dream shatters around me
Like a broken mirror.

Looking at the wreckage,
My reflection unrecognizable.

A broken image.
A broken heart.

I'm cut by the shards
As I try to piece it back together.

My blood sprinkles the surface
Like a red rain.

The mirror is whole again.
What's left of the dream.

I look at my reflection,
And tears finally begin to fall.

Too Far GoneYour memory smothers me
Like a blanket over a fire
You can't save me now
As I drown in this reverie

Can nobody hear me?
Or am I silently begging
For someone to notice
That I am no longer strong?

I want so badly to feel your arms around me
To open my eyes and see yours staring back
Feel the comfort of your body against mine
You gently kissing my forehead...

But I'm too far gone

I would be lying if I said I didn't miss you
But I know we're not good for each other
I know going back to you
Would be setting myself up for pain

You should know that this was a very difficult decision to make
Choosing to finally let you go
To be on

I Hope You Haven'tHave you ever
Felt pain to the point
You are entirely numb
And can no longer tell
Nor care
That you are not breathing?

Have you ever
Been so hopelessly in love
That when he was gone
You were left with a hole
Where your heart should be?

Has the idea of happiness
Ever seemed so far away
That you thought
You would never reach it?

Have you ever
Thought you were worthless
So much that you
Lost the desire for life?

I hope you haven't felt the way I did.

I Was WrongMaybe I was wrong
You don't need me
That's why you left

I'm the one that needs you

I don't feel the need to change myself to make you want me again
If who I am isn't good enough, then maybe I'm better off alone

I wish things could go back to being like they were
Me and you
Fitting perfectly together
Letting everything disappear

I know I'm young
People tell me I'll find someone else
Someone better
That I'll love again
But I don't know if I can be that open with anyone other than you
I'm too guarded
And besides
I have trouble seeing myself with anyone but
You

I know how to be strong and that I shouldn't let one relationship

Rewriting TragedyIt's not every day that you get a second chance at your first love
This opportunity comes with the decision of whether
To take the risk of a repeat heartbreak or not

I took that chance

We had fallen in love over a year ago
He broke my heart six months later
Had some personal issues to deal with
I did my best to move on
Trying to erase him from my life as best I could
But this didn't matter
He was in my every thought
The pain never fading

About a year later
I got news that knocked me to the ground
He was in the hospital
The thought of having him erased from my life forever
Was too painful to even consider

I made an

Friendship isn't about..Friendship isn't about who came first and who you've known the longest. Its about who came and who stayed. ♥

I Would Be LyingI would be lying if I said that I don't wonder
If you think about me too. That I don't miss how
Your arms felt around me when we would lay next
To each other, fitting so perfectly together

That I don't wish I could still talk with you
When I'm upset or when something exciting happens

That I don't miss sharing part of life with you

That I don't think about why I wasn't good enough
That I don't miss laying together talking and laughing
For hours without getting bored. That the way your eyes
Lit up when you smiled at me was not adorable

That I was not unbelievably happy with you
Kissing you was not overwhelmingly breathtaking
T

Figured It OutI figured it out
I don't miss you
I miss being loved
Being held close and kissed
Having someone who cared for me
To laugh with and dance with
Being looked at the way you looked at me

I know I still care deeply for you
And hope you make good decisions
But I am not in love with you
Pain changes people
It taught me what is best for me
How to be happy with myself

I miss our friendship
Talking with you
And learning so much
You don't realize how much you taught me
Someday we might get that friendship back
Even if we don't,if our paths ever cross in life again
I will smile at you and remember the days I loved my best friend

I KnowI know that you need space
Time away from everything
So you can find your place

I know that you still think about me
Some small thing we used to do may trigger a memory
Remind you of how things used to be

I know that you still care
You're good at hiding how you feel
But maybe something is still there

I know there are a lot of things you don't know
Life can be overwhelming
I'm sure you'll go far, though

I also know that you will always have a special place in my heart
We might not be together
Friendship may be a good place to start

You Changed Everything

by ~SevereWeather, Mar 4, 2013, 2:43:23 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Waking up to see your face
Is my favorite way to start the day.
Knowing my reality is as good as a dream
Makes me grateful for how we got this way.

I was scared,
But I don't think you could tell.
I decided to take the plunge
And immediately, I fell.

Your arms feel like home.
Welcoming my body into a comforting embrace.
You've left an impression on my heart,
A permanent mark I can't erase.

We share each other's happiness
As well as the pain.
But we both remember what's important,
Like when we're kissing in the rain.

I was drowning,
And you brought me to safety.
I wasn't sure I was ready,
Then you changed everything.

Another attempt at writing something happy. I'm really not very good at this. I tend to be very cliche. Any help that is offered is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Welcome

~Katragoness Apr 3, 2013

I like it. It's honest, to the point, and the only reason it'd be clique is cause you speak of this love saving you. Which isn't clique, it's beautiful.

I love every bit of it.

A friendly critique from a random deviant

First off, you don't need to capitalize the beggining of each stanza for example you have:
Waking up to see your face
Is my favorite way to start the day.
Knowing my reality is as good as a dream
Makes me grateful for how we got this way.

It should be (well most poets write this way):
Waking up to see your face
is my favorite way to start the day.
Knowing my reality is as good as a dream
makes me grateful for how we got this way.

This is just how most poets write

Another thing is, it is a tad bit cliche but not as much as you think! I think you could fix this by thinking of a more unique aspect of changing this. Maybe throw in a twist? I'm not sure what but that is up to you

It is a beuatiful poem though!

You did great. I don't see it as cliche. Beautifully written, well done

I love this, what do you think is cliché about it?
