Grace Quill

Hi, I'm Grace Hill, a teenage poet

[gracequilll]

Texts

You're busy, I get it,

I got the hint from my texts repeatedly being left on delivered,

Its not anybody's fault,

Doesn't every connection somehow sometime, get withered?

I do hope not,

It would be such a tragedy,

And the fact I have to go through this again and again,

Seems to me, the greatest brutality.

And sure I might be overreacting,

Its not the end of the world,

But what am I to do if you were mine,

The meaning to all my words.

I guess I'll start speaking in a different language,

Though my voice will still sound the same.

Will you feel some melancholy too,

When it calls you your favorite nickname?

And I know it will feel different,

When we meet again soon,

'Cause things dont go back to how they used to be that easily,

I'll just accept we'll never again be that in sync, that in tune.

Sure one can hope,

But having to go back to reality after daydreams,

Is the same taste,

As drinking black coffe after having pastries,

And doesn't that describe us so well,

The word bittersweet,

For we did fight a lot,

But without you, life feels incomplete.

Its clear I miss you,

And I might always will,

So I will wait for you, patiently,

Trying my best to sit still.

You promised to call me,

And in return I promised to pick up

But you do never call, so i pass the time crying,

Thinking of ideas so we can make up.

You know me as well as I know you,

So why can't you see my suffering?

That would've been better,

Atleast then I wouldn't have to hide my emotions in a verbal covering,

And try my best to make it rhyme,

And try my best to speak in metaphors,

Try my best to convey all I want to,

Try my best to make my poems the messengers,

I hope you finally realize,

And then reply to all my texts,

Because I know I wont be able to say this in real life,

Without pausing to take deep breaths.

Can't believe i turned getting ghosted into this long rant (;-;)

[gracequilll]

Undoing

Dont you ever miss me at all?

If you do, why dont you call?

Why don't you ever come talk?

Why don't you ever just come to my door and knock?

Do you think I wouldn't open?

Even though we had something thats now broken,

I would still hear you out,

Though I might end up getting angry and shout.

Bear with it still, bear with it anyway,

Because thats not how i really feel, its just for display.

Its all pretense,

Just an intense mechanism of defence.

I thought you knew that well,

How I keep things inside but still manage to yell.

I had wished you weren't thinking of me in a bad light,

But how could you, when we're both so full of spite.

Maybe thats our undoing,

The reason why the hate kept brewing,

Why the distance only ever grew to be far,

Though I hope we can overcome it one day but we are who we are.

Holding You

I kept holding on to your hand,

You weren't holding mine,

So i made my grip tighter,

I couldn't possibly leave you behind.

My hand, my life was intertwined with yours,

Just the way I preferred.

Two parts of a whole,

The boundaries of the pieces blurred.

I look down to our hands,

Still wearing the matching rings,

I've never once removed it,

Even though its so tight it stings.

I know I should stop,

Its foolish to continue,

But I would rather be foolish,

Than stop holding you.

Muse

I thought i found my muse,

Thought i found the one,

But im the one to lose,

Because im too young

And now love has to wait,

Honestly i would've waited an eternity

If it meant we could date,

But people just call that absurdity,

Because of my age.

And i understand it too i guess,

Afterall i created this mess.

Its all my fault,

It would've been better,

if i suppressed

My feelings, since they dont even matter.

But regret does no good,

I already spent time thinking about how our future would look.

I should've known there wasnt any,

Atleast then my heart wouldn't feel this heavy.

But it has been yours for a while,

Or all along,

Whatever is more poetic.

Love At First Sight

I would be lying if I said it wasn't love at first sight,

You were all I could think about that night,

So much so that I have you name written in my diary underlined.

I kept thinking about your qualities- smart, tall, funny and polite.

If i was superman you would be my kryptonite.

Maybe there's some truth in the line "love is blind."

And now here I am using my phone to type A poem you will never see me recite,

Because I'm too scared of the truth you will find.

I have hidden my feelings for quite some time,

I would be behind bars if love was a crime.

Sixth

Its the sixth cloud I've seen,

That put thoughts of you in my head.

Not really, just kidding,

You never leave my mind anyway.

Even on a summer clear day,

Or winter, autumn, spring.

Everytime before I go to bed,

Even the time in-between.

Not A Poet

I'm not a poet,

As much as I'd like to believe,

But when I think about you,

Words flow out of me like tears.

I'm not a poet,

But wherever I wish to be such,

You're the only one I write about,

Only one ever on my mind.

I'm not a poet

Because i cant differentiate between love and obsession,

I cant even differentiate between a verse and a random string of thoughts,

But i do know one thing,

You are definitely a poem.

To Be Loved

To be loved by a poet,

Loved at my lowest,

Loved at all,

To be loved like I was thinking of you all night long.

Like I knew you were sick so I brought you a tonic,

Like I cant believe im saying this but I wrote you a sonnet,

To be loved like I was waiting for your call,

To be loved at all.

Confession

If I told you I love you,

Would you say it back?

Do I have to guess your favorite color,

Or you'll tell me yourself its black?

Why didn't you tell me before?

Why didn't u ask me mine?

Why dont we talk,

Till we lose track of time?

Do you not like it when we hang out?

Or when we're together?

Do you prefer rain over sunshine?

Or do you not care about the weather?

If I tell you a secret,

Would you keep it forever?

Or forget about it the next day,

Like it didn't even matter.

Should I just ask,

Or let the days pass away?

Its important to me.

To you its just play.

I want to know your flaws.

The imperfections you wish to change.

Watch me love them too,

And love mine in exchange.

They said to be loved is to be known,

And could I have made it more obvious?

I want to know you so I can love you,

Maybe I'm just being obnoxious.

Do you think my feelings are stupid,

Or do you reciprocate?

Do you realize this is a confession,

Or do i need to elaborate?

I can go on,

Ask my friends, its true.

But I think I've found 3 words that sum it up

I love you.

Hate

I hate to think how everyone will react, when they realize I'm so full of hate.

Tears drop out of my eyes straight

Down to the phone, I hate everybody, i exclaim

What am I supposed to do filled with all this hatred?

They're only used to me being the good kid, but now thats faded.

Im so frustrated with myself about how i've become outdated.

Nobody was coming, but still I waited,

I didn't know it all was going to be so complicated.

I hate everything, I hate everybody.

No one is ever there to console me.

Is that too much to ask? Or am I not allowed to?

I hate the type of lonely you feel in crowds too.

I hate how I cant get over stuff, even if time has passed,

How everyone who has ever wronged me still has a special place in my heart,

I can't bring myself to forgive them, but crave their company so bad,

I hate how Im still the artist and they're still the art.

Sunsets

I hope the sun won't set,

That I wont end up in your debt.

You're the reason I would laugh,

The reason I have so many poems in my draft.

I dont want that taken away,

And it's not like you're going anywhere either way,

But I have this lingering feeling,

One day this will only be a memory fleeting.

But its ok right?

Because sunset is a beautiful sight.

Twilight has its own magnificence,

And us being together was never just a coincidence.

And what if the sun sets,

I'll always have the moon,

Its the same more or less,

But it will never be you.

You And Me

Love me like a poem,

Not a love song.

I dont want the usual 3 months,

I want it lifelong.

You wouldn't understand.

You never do.

You were just desperate and greedy,

You bit off more than you could chew.

I realize I'm not everyone's taste,

I'm not looking to be.

Though I imagined our future together,

A house near the sea.

There is no future though,

Not for us,

Not for you and me,

No need to even discuss,

What we know will never be.

If Only

If only I was good at something I love.

If only I wasnt this mundane.

If only our fates were connected by a red string,

Not a long rusted iron chain.

If only I didn't live in daydreams,

If only I was more rational.

If only I wasnt so complicated,

And you so simple.

If only I could express what i feel,

If only you fit my vocabulary.

If only I didn't associate you with love,

With roses, with quartz, with February.

If only I didn't think about you,

If only you weren't a constant thought in my head.

If only you noticed me too,

And not pretended I was dead.

If only it wasn't so easy for you,

If only it was for me.

If only I didn't carry your burden,

Even after being crushed by debris.

If only you were a happy memory,

Not make me feel regret.

If only I didn't love you as much,

It would've been painless to forget.
