Poems that will make you feel

[tortle-tome]

Hello everyone! This is the side blog of my main blog @lovingstarfishsandwich where I'll publish my poems and some short drabbles in a separate blog!

If you don't know who I am, my name is Tortle! I go by she/her and English is not my first language, so if you see any grammar error please be nice about it!

I'm 21 years old and I write poems and short (or even long) drabbles! Most of them are sad but I'm currently trying to work on making happier ones!

Anyways that's it I hope y'all enjoy my writing and if there's a poem that needs a trigger warning tag don't hesitate in asking me to tag it as such! Last thing I want is my work to be harmful to others! :)

(hey guys I'm posting a drabble? After not writing for a while so this one might be a bit more weak, I'm rusty lmao. Hope it makes you feel something still)

Come back

Where have you been lately? I've been waiting here as time passes by, as things around me shift and change. Should i trust that you'll come back? Or will I end up as another stone casted away and taken by the rivers of sadness, being worn out by my own tears of sadness and pain as I'm slowly forgotten, slowly fading away from your mind.

My heart aches for your return, it yearns for those happy moments we've shared in the past, and most of all, it misses the warmth of your company, that same warmth that was extinguished by the cold embrace of loneliness a long time.

Maybe I'm a fool for waiting, but I'm too loyal to give up on you and leave, love is painful, but also a strong fuel for determination, such a blessing curse that falls on me, too many times and too easily, so painful like a knife cutting deep into me once I realise our paths won't cross together anymore.

Now I must move on, without you by my side, without your presence in this turbulent journey for freedom.

My Demise

I look out the window

These bars are getting thicker,

I look at my feet

These chains are getting heavier,

I look above me

This boulder is getting bigger,

I look at my body

And it's getting weaker.

Childhood's Melancholy

Today's another day,

I see you coming

Carrying a fragment of my childhood in your hands,

But things aren't the same

The amount of sadness I feel at that sight

People who used to be, are no longer

And even tho it's just me, you still bring

That sweet but bitter piece,

Someone else cuts a slice of it for me

No longer the same one,

I take a bite for happiness

And got sadness in return.

Thoughts of a Prisoner

Treat me well

And you can tell,

How beautiful it is to see

Someone who is caged to be free,

Give me the wings that I need

So that I can feel,

I don't want to be caged anymore

Because I feel sore,

From your chains

That gives me pain.
