Songsfornobody

Slant rhymes and bad times. Abuse survivor. Real-time feels from a recent heartbreak, and cathartic notes from the vault. Heal with me ✨

[songsfornobody]

Be gentle with yourself

It takes countless times

And infinite tries

To recognize the pattern

And change your mind.

[songsfornobody]

Dreams

Although you would have hated it,

My forbidden muse,

I continue hitting snooze

For another 9 minutes of you.

[songsfornobody]

I endlessly admire

Your powerful being.

The timbre of your fire

And bellows of your choir.

Regardless of uncertainty

I’m certain you’re for me.

[songsfornobody]

Yours truly

Yours forever

Yours in this life,

And in the next.

[songsfornobody]

Hunt me

Tease me

“Can you feel me

Lurking in your city”

Drive by my street

Put me out

Of my misery.

[songsfornobody]

Kintsugi

Broke me

In the perfect place

Shattered my heart

All over the place

Fractured my soul

In shimmering gold

But truth be told

I didn’t like

The me he knew

And now I love

The being that grew.

[songsfornobody]

The voicemail voice but “the person you are trying to reach is emotionally unavailable”

@kiisuuumii (what every poem wishes it could say to you in the end)

[songsfornobody]

Good mourning

The birds sing

Of sunlights forewarning.

Reminding me

Of waking next to you.

[songsfornobody]

JOKER

A madcap motherfucker

With a devilish grin

Eccentric and electric

He commits me to sin.

Tequila and nicotine

Snide through rotting teeth

With a face that hurts

And a heart who sees.

[songsfornobody]

CHASE

I think

He plays games

Because he loves me.

I’m easy,

He’s taunting and teasing

Just to please me.

But I’m blinded

By the optimism

Of cognitive dissonance.

Crushed to know the difference

I’ve only fallen in limerence.

[songsfornobody]

… “I couldn’t leave him if I tried

We both suffer because I stayed.”

Her abusive husband’s vicious tirade

And evil DNA leave her baby slain.

Mother discards and sentences to death,

The child she once proudly named.

[songsfornobody]

I like you

blue eyes

smoke and glisten

your heart

patiently listens

I like you in the dark

your mind

tickles mine

sharp, quick, kind

wit well-timed

I like you in the dark

eyes close

truth untold

soldier alone

a story unknown

I like you in the dark

swim oceans’ depth

where secrets are kept

in infinite pursuit

of tears wept

I like you in the dark

in the shadows

or absence of light

it's your perspective

that sees the night

I like you in the dark

all colors turn to black

you can sympathize

with love like a heart attack

aching decay and plaque

I like you in the dark

I close my eyes

feel your soul move

I'm sorry you're here too

but it's less lonely with you

I like you in the dark

In the day

It all makes sense

In the light

There’s no pretense

I like you

In the dark

[songsfornobody]

Moving on

She left

You’re bereft

Try to forget…

It won’t go back

To the way it was

Trust me, it never does.

[songsfornobody]

Pretend to be wise

Spitting with despise

You can presume

How I hypothesize.

Make poor excuses

Look for the signs

Burry me in the eyes

And lies of a Gemini.

[songsfornobody]

Note to younger self:

If someone wants to leave, let them.

Especially if they slam the door on the way out.

[songsfornobody]

Secrets

You are the culmination

Of a thousand souls

An amalgamation

Of every truth untold
