the melancholic poet

I write poems and listen to Taylor Swift while sipping my coffee and observing the trees as I contemplate the meaning of life

Normalize seeing someone's lack of effort as their lack of interest in you regardless of what they tell you. Giving you all of the right words, but none of the right actions is called manipulation. If a person wants to be with you, they prove it. Period.

No one is hotter than someone who longs for your soul more than your body.

Thinking about how Sylvia Plath once said "I don't know what it's like to not have deep emotions. Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely." While sobbing my eyes out over my self induced melancholia

You know a crowd is loving it when they almost drown out Taylor

[amuseumofmoments]

I hate you. I hate how much I miss you for no goddamn reason. I hate how I think about you on most nights. I hate how I think about you every time I listen to an even remotely romantic song. I hate how I plan out scenarios for when we will meet next, knowing damn well that that day might never come. I hate how you were so perfect and kind because no one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you. I hate how thinking about you still makes me smile and grin like a hopeless fool and I hate the way your smile awes me like fireworks, but most of all I absolutely hate how I don't hate you at all. I hate how I'm not even close to hating you and I won't ever be.

This one hurt. My fingers couldn't move while I wrote this

Like a wrinkle in the dark, or a wrinkle in time. More than thirty years later, her smile is still the same. And pulling her in close, she still feels the same in my arms, and the clocks spin in reverse. Time backs up like a truck to a loading dock. The man on the forklift is ready, and the truck will be loaded in no time at all.

Exposing myself when I'm in my poet arch

For all the eldest daughters, overachieving girlies that constantly need validation. I see you and I hear you. You're and always will be enough

[amuseumofmoments]

Since no one wrote a poem on me, I wrote one on my truest self and I think we all can resonate with it

[amuseumofmoments]

Reminiscing about the "love at first sight" kinda love hurts.

We tend to run away from strength because it scares us. And that's why those of us who are thunderstorms are not meant to be loved by the ordinary. We're meant to be loved by the ones hungry for that strength

I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I am a sponge that absorbs all the trauma of the household. Life is spilt milk and I am a kitchen cloth burnt at the edges. I am falling apart at the corners, threads coming away, rips and ripples like I am torn and trembling in an ocean of nothingness. I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I emphasize with everyone. The love of my life marries someone else, and I find myself hoping that he loves her the same. My brother wishes death upon me and I toss and turn in my sleep over the tears I saw in his eyes. Life is an accidental fire and I am water. I attempt to stop a tragedy I did not start, to go blindly into a catastrophe that I cannot halt. I am the eldest daughter, which is to say that I am silent in my needs. My father asks me what I'd like to eat and I say that I am not hungry. I will chew on my guilt and swallow my pride before I even think of asking for anything. I buy myself a sweet and nothing tastes as bitter as it. Life is a metaphor for debt and I am drowning in the desire to be as insignificant as possible. I demand nothing and nothing demands me.

I am the eldest daughter. I carry the baggage of everyone with me just to see them walk with a smile. I do it even if it kills me. I am the eldest daughter. I absorb everyone's darkness and dull my own sparkle. I am the eldest daughter. I dream of finding my prince charming who'll rid me of this pain but at the end of the day, I need to be my own savior. Because to everyone else, I am the prince charming.
