Am I really a work of art?

Welcome to my poetry page. Expect a wide range of emotions. Maybe you can relate to some of my thoughts.

[mywavesofemotion]

Say goodnight

So I won’t say something i’ll regret

Say goodnight

Before I make myself upset

Say goodnight

Or I’ll take this too far

And leave myself with a permanent scar

Trying to solve the riddle that you are

[mywavesofemotion]

How could I ever love myself,

When I loved you more than me?

How could I ever trust myself,

When I trusted you more than me?

How could I ever care for myself

When my care for you took all that I had

Every inch

corner

crevice of me —

Too drained to remember

the importance of self-love, self-care, self-trust —

I loved you to the point of self-destruction

I missed all the warning signs

It took a car crash for me to realise:

I can survive without you.

[mywavesofemotion]

Standing across the room,

the distance between us

feels bigger than when I was

an ocean away

I run upstairs to the safety of a bed,

hoping my tears would

break this wall that you have built

After what feels like

an endless amount of waterworks,

I feel a touch

But it is not you

It was never you.

[mywavesofemotion]

I remember the day he walked me home

It was cold outside

We were both walking with caution

It was deathly quiet

I tried to speak,

but my words were

lost in the wind

[mywavesofemotion]

I escape every room with the feeling

That my throat is closing up

That I have this small pinching feeling

Just before the tears come

The endless supply of tears

Runs down my face

No tear lingering

For the next one washes it down

Just as they start to stop

A voice in my head reminds me

I am no better than I was yesterday

And I will be no better tomorrow

[mywavesofemotion]

Islands

Losing you made me realize That people should never be your islands

You will drown Sooner or later

Instead learn to swim On your own

And then You can swim together

Losing you also showed me That I love Swimming on my own

Now I just need to realize That there is nothing wrong About that

[mywavesofemotion]

You walked all over me And I let you My kindness has drained me And given you an opportunity

realization 

[mywavesofemotion]

Two pairs of feet

Jumping into puddles

This was what happiness felt like

You splashing me until I was soaked

The pouring rain drowns out our feelings

We are waiting for my bus to arrive

Shivering

I’m too nervous to hug you so instead we are both

Jumping into puddles

The moment I see the headlights

My arms extend themselves

Into a warm embrace

Only to wish we were still jumping into puddles

[sunsetico-deactivated20250705]

my body is my canvas, but you painted all over me. no matter how much I try to cover it up it’s still there, etched into my skin, a constant reminder of you.

When you are barely breathing,

And everything seems to be falling apart,

You ask yourself,

Am I really a work of art?

I hate feeling like this every evening,

Like I’m not enough,

I just need to know,

Will someone be there when times get tough?

The voices in my head will never stop screaming,

Telling me I’m worthless,

So when all is said and done,

What is my purpose?

Like you, I too lost my moon.

[mywavesofemotion]

The days start off hopeful A smile on my face throughout Convincing myself I am fine Even believing it Until the moment I don’t

Routine

[mywavesofemotion]

A gesturing hand,

I climb on my tiptoes

Reaching for him

He smiles

I laugh

He readjusts my hands

Everything falls into place.

[mywavesofemotion]

Another sad song starts

I’m swaying to the melody of my

m e l a n c h o l y

The darkness from outside makes me forget

that I’ve ever felt

h a p p i n e s s

Mouthing repeated words

Memorizing it all

Just to become a  b r o k e n  record

[mywavesofemotion]

We sit in your car listening to Paralyzed

Everyone is silent

I look at you and I see

That wide smile now gone

It’s too late for words

You drive the car a little too fast

We hope we can forget our pain with

Just a little bit of freedom

The song changes.

[mywavesofemotion]

Your silence pierces me everywhere

My mind feels numb

My heart feels incomplete

My nervous energy turns into a river of tears

Slowly making me doubt myself

Your silence makes me feel naive

How could I think my thoughts mattered?

My words drift through you like empty caskets

My intentions ready to be murdered

Your silence will be the death of me

Your lack of words scares me

I’d rather you scream

Anything but quiet
