some pieces of me

[poetdcee-blog]

8am

Waking up

next to my love

is a blessing too easily taken for granted.

Rising with you and the Sun

and the flowers and the trees

while we make love

like the birds and the bees

feels like dreaming

all over again.

Pretty brown eyes

It use to freak me out

when you’d kiss me with your eyes open

I always believed it took away the magic.

But now,

I’d rather see the soft brown in yours

than the black of mine

[poetdcee-blog]

These bonds keep coming and going,

And they mean nothing.

I’ve grown too tired to give my all,

For nothing.

All of these nothings.

Sometimes sweet nothings,

But always nothing

And I can’t forget that.

[Verse 2]

You're all I know

I still got your poems hangin' in my room

While I play this music

I can't find you at home, at least I know you're gone

[poetdcee-blog]

Nothing lasts forever, I know this.

Where there is potential for beautiful love, heartbreak lays beside it.

That doesn’t mean stop falling in love to avoid heartbreak

Because that love is worth having. And the joy they brought to your heart is worth keeping.

You don’t have to let go of those beautiful memories & feelings. There’s no need to pretend they didn’t happen & deny yourself those simple pleasures.

Remember the memories, not the person. Because that person isn’t who they were when the memories were made & neither are you.

Untouched

I know my heart wasn’t in it

that’s why I’m not heartbroken.

You sat on the outskirts

protecting me from loneliness

while neglecting me.

It’s not your fault,

the job description was just a security guard,

someone to stand out front

and make me look

secure.

I tried to ignore my need for you to penetrate it

bc I feared you didn’t have the tools

And I was tired of waiting for someone who did.

But now that you’re gone,

I’ve been feeling guilty for not being devastated

about making you leave

I realized that having someone close enough to

hear my cries

but not close enough to heal my cries

is why I don’t cry for you.

I crave romance

but you say this isn't a movie

You're shooting me down

but there's no one shooting us

[poetdcee-blog]

The more we are together

The less I wanna be away

[poetdcee-blog]

I got rid of everything that reminded me of you

I thought it would make it easier to forget

But from the amount of times you've crept into my head

I can tell my heart disagrees

[poetdcee-blog]

Something unimaginable makes you ghost the ones you love.

Pushing away love because something within you won't allow you to hold onto such a pleasure.

The End of All Things - Panic! At The Disco

[poetdcee-blog]

She's such a dreamy lover

but thats all, a dream.

You'll wake when she leaves because she always seems to break something on her way out.

[poetdcee-blog]

I think it’s time to go inside but man these sunsets are beautiful

Tonight it’s a lilac fading into indigo

Shoes are hanging by their laces from the wires connecting the telephone polls

The crickets are coming out and the people are heading in for the night

And I swear these streetlights are getting brighter by the second

[poetdcee-blog]

I have this aching loneliness within myself. It's like a hole I've never known how to fill, only cover. And on nights like this it's anything but shallow.

[poetdcee-blog]

Why won't I let go of what I can't have? Of what is not real anymore?
