Poetry from Mars

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

sheltered

I wish

I could open up to you

but

my heart has taken so many falls

it fell into the deepest pits

of myself

it collapsed into itself

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

nothings

his

sugar coated whispers

should hold no meaning

when his actions

are encased in salt

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

never chase him

stop running in circles

you'll never reach the center

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

if you think I'm too much, maybe you're not enough

you should never

tame yourself

for a man

don't let him fool you

into thinking

you are too much to handle

your thoughts

shouldn't become

white canvases

for him to paint his opinion on

you are already your own

masterpiece

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

don't dive into oceans if you don't know how to swim

don't show him

the deepest parts of yourself

until he proves himself worthy

of exploring your depths

otherwise

he will drown

and blame your muchness

for his insufficiency

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

I never liked the idea

of putting my heart

in someone's hands

if you take mine away

I'll put it safely

into your chest

right next to yours

you'll either

fill out my emptiness

with your own heart

or feel mine breaking

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

my heart is not for rent

you crawled your way

into my heart

it became more crowded

than ever

so i emptied out

every bit of me

to make room for you

i should've anticipated

the hallowness

you'll leave behind

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

love

is like a fingerprint

we all have

our own unique way

of experiencing it

but the important thing is

we all do

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

seasons

you come at me

reinvigorating

like spring

make my love for you

blossom

_

you make me feel

safe

warm

like the perfect

summer night

_

then things

start to fall apart

and the cold winds

of autumn

start to settle

_

in the end

everything withers

and all I'm left with

is the winter's

icy loneliness

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

alone

I think

I've been on my own

for so long

loneliness crept

into my bones

made a home out

of my body

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

art

he made me

fill

blank pages

in seconds

you left me

speechless

i think it's because

with you

i don't feel

like the poet

i am the poetry

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

weakness

how come

i've always been so guarded

i've built the greatest walls

around my heart

decorated them with

thorns

dipped in poison

yet

they all crumbled

at your arrival

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

healing

the love I grew

for you

was settled in my bones

when you left

with each step you took

i felt them cracking

one by one

i think

my body was trying

to free itself

from you

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

dependency

my pieces

come together

with your touch

my bones

shatter

in your absence

[poetryfrommars-blog1]

hunger

you're full of

my love

while

i'm starving

for yours
