Remember to tell the people you love, how much they mean to you

[alivebypoetry]

I hope it hurts when you think of me

Like it hurts when I think of you

[alivebypoetry]

Maybe she has long, blond hair

Maybe she wears tiny black dresses

Maybe she’s patient

Maybe she’s smart

Maybe she doesn’t cry in the bathroom

Maybe she believes in herself

Maybe she’s good in bed

Maybe she doesn’t have a single jealous bone in her body

Maybe she makes you laugh

God, I hope she doesn’t makes you laugh

The day you found another me

[alivebypoetry]

She never wanted the party to end

Cause when the music stopped

And the lights went out

She was once again reminded

Of the empty space in her double bed

That double bed she picked out so carefully

And the shelf she hang high enough above it

That his tall body could sit straight beside her

Cuddle her while laughing at the tv shows

He never came

So she stays at the party

And begs everyone else to do the same

Shallow company is better than the loneliness

She is reminded of

Every time that head hits the pillow

[alivebypoetry]

I never wanted the butterflies,

or the disappearance of the skies

I never wanted my scars

to be turned into stars

I never wanted the honey

or anything bright and sunny

But you gave it all,

till you got bored, and let me fall

I cling to my broken heart,

and all the pieces you took apart

When you left me in the void

all broken and destroyed

[alivebypoetry]

When you steal something

It’s never really yours

So I should’ve known

That you would steal my heart

Just to throw it away

When you were done playing

[alivebypoetry]

I’m sorry, I wasn’t what you wanted

[alivebypoetry]

Do you ever think about the lives you save without even knowing? The hearts you hold in your hands, the souls you keep safe? The belief in something beautiful, that you plant in the minds of the people you love? Do you think of the worry you take from someone’s shoulder, when you hug them tight, and let them cry? The stars you paint on someone’s sky just by being there? I do, and it makes me grateful to exist. You hold a little piece of your fellow human beings’ life in your hand

[alivebypoetry]

Look at the world as if you saw it for the first time

unknown

[alivebypoetry]

Live every day as if you had to live that day every day

unknown

The first love

When we’re little, we believe the first love is gonna be the only one. We believe in the fairytale and Prince Charming. We believe in the magic and the happy ending.

When we get a little older, we believe, that the first love is gonna save us. We believe, that it’s the only thing, we need, and with that everything else will disappear. 

Then we get older, the first love comes around, and it’s nothing like we imagined. It's complicated, disappointing and often not reciprocated. It tears our hearts out of an open chest, and let it to bleed out on the ground. It drags us through grief, loss, and then they tell us that, that is what it means to grow up. But the only thing the first love has done, is made us a shadow of our unworldly belief in happy endings

I never learned to say, I love you

But I found 101 ways to say, I miss you

[jade-fox-deactivated20230511]

He discarded me like an old receipt he found, in the pocket of his yearly winter coat.

I fell from his warm hands and settled to the ground with the December snow flurries,

And all I could do was watch him leave me behind.

I see us in black and white

As the everlasting photographs

Of moments which isn’t no more

[alivebypoetry]

Be gentle with my heart

When I leave it in your hands

It has been broken

So many times

That if it shatter again

I don’t think it’ll ever grow back together
