To the wolf

As dandelions grow

between my ribs

I will know

if it was you

The question I asked since

your light filled the air

like white phosphor

Agonisingly beautiful but

destined to devour my skin

If we touch

.

To know you is to

fade from my mortal flesh

and become more than I can handle

[poetry-insanity]

Predator

This is not love my dear

This is a hunt

You want my warm breath

On your forehead

My blood on your tongue

As you bite my neck

And take what you want

See as my eyes grow

Loosing their glow

You will take what you need

And leave me in the snow

[poetry-insanity]

Heart shaped gravestone

Have you ever seen someone

Turn to dust in your hands

Like they just were a person

And now

A stranger

And a stranger to themselves

.

It makes you forget, they say

They say take a sip and you will forget

But I will not forget you

Standing in front of me

Looking

Not like you

.

Father's angry at you

He's sad, too but

He's the one

Who has to comfort your daughter

Crying

Next to your grave

.

It is heart shaped

Your gravestone is heart shaped

I hope you see

Your mother planting

A sunrise of flowers

For you

She wore black for four months

.

They said all was alright

Until you died

They all denied

Until you died

Until you died

Tonight, Let’s Be Other People

I write the title, you write the poem! Reblog with your piece :D

[poetry-insanity]

Strangers to this city

We love where the moths crash

Into nightlights

Near the rivers

Tonight we are strangers again

Finding once more

What made us friends

Let's play pretend

Till the end of the night

That what ages us fast

Makes us young

Beneth the smoke

Down the streetlight

That reflects like a path

In the tides

[poetry-insanity]

You were sleep walking

You were slurry talking

You would never reach to helping hands

You were falling to the ground

With more and more amout

Intoxicated by yourself

.

Heaven for an hour and you'd fall back to hell

Angel, angel

Heaven for an hour and you'd fall back to hell

Angel

[poetry-insanity]

They wait for you

In woods floating by

On a train ride

They wait in

Cracks in the concrete

Dreams

Creatures of fantasy

.

They wait for you

Patiently

For you to one day return

To sight

.

They will sing to you at night

To the balcony

Through the window

In raindrops on the ceiling

They breathe in

Rustling leafs

.

They know

One day

On a warm day of may

In the freshly cut hay of

The town you once called home

The fae

Will be there with you

On your last day

To greet you again, wanderer

For you were never lost

Just hiding

From what a childs gaze

May uncover

Just in their mind you think?

No

For they don't perceive

They just find

[poetry-insanity]

You don't know what you did to me

Recently I

Cried when invited on a date

Lied so I can get away from

Any situation

That will prove to me again

That I am too weak

To say no

To men

[poetry-insanity]

Im just hiding here

A room, merely

A cherry scented prison

Coloured by fairy lights

And the shadow of my messed up hair

[poetry-insanity]

Undead

You walk through my head like

A zombie

Always back again

To chew me up

[poetry-insanity]

You should have taught me love

But all you did

Was looking from above

.

You should be the one to open doors

But now when someone opens them

I flinsh and then

I fear you're here

When you're far away

.

You told me it was care for me

You're showing when you yell

It's no surprise I don't know

What is love and what is hell

.

You should have helped with all my steps

But your steps

Just scare me

When I hear them down the hall

But I won't let you be the one

That is in control

[poetry-insanity]

The thought of seeing you

In the eyes of someone I love

Terrifies me

.

I don't want to remember

When someone comes near

The fear I had when

You did

[poetry-insanity]

Do be cautious, writer

When you bleed, you bleed art

But don't cut deeper

And deeper

So all that remains of you

Is words

In past tense

.

Do remember

That pain isn't a way to be

It is a way to not be

Remember to not

Let burning passion

Burn you out

From within

.

But after all

Is it burning the writer to write

Or is the written word burning

From within

[poetry-insanity]

I'm honestly speechless! I don't even know how to thank everyone anymore, it's such a blessing to be able to share my work with you!

- A lot of love, poetry-insanity ❤️

[poetry-insanity]

You know, they say religions die

But we all pray to

Deities but they're on screens

The devil in the different

.

In our ego

We all search for someone, something

To look up to

And down upon

Will this ever end?

[poetry-insanity]

Bibles and a riffles in their hands

Teargas ending cries for help

Gunshots in the fight for peace

In the land of freedom and wealth

In the land of sharp teethed smiles

Flickering lights and murder cases

Out on the streets at daytime

A knee to neck, a wave of rise

A death, a force of life again

The land of all the free my friend

Never was cause freedom

Comes with responsibility

Not many want to see

So use yours

For justice and peace

.

When I look out to the world these days

My heart cries

But please don't give up

Use your rage for good

Make it burn injustice

I think of every each of you

May your life be safe

[poetry-insanity]

Is mourning gonna stay my morning?

Will nights mean I am terrified

Will sleep forever mean that I

Will just escape my mind

Will I always close my eyes and see

Nothing but my insides bleed

Will I ever leave the fright

Behind?

[poetry-insanity]

Lifesavers

And now we know

That in your silence

We hear the suffering

In our silence

We hear the cries

Of the places in the world

We so often forget

Because now we are all the same

The same stagnant

The same frightened

And now we know

Wich people we should have been loud for

Earlier
