Write Like You're Running Out Of Time

Dreamers

Ridiculed and reprimanded Dreams are often looked down upon Yet the strong hold on To what is demanded They know what they must do For they have been fighting their whole lives Waiting for that moment to take the dive Intimidating, yet true

Here's to You

And here we are Side by side Like how we use to be Walking down those halls. Staying together through thick and thin Climbing life's mountains Crossing its rivers Shaping its plains. Did we think it would end this way? No way in hell There was no way to tell But one thing is for certain You made me who I am today.

Covet

There's so much I can say, where to begin The way you make me feel is so unreal. I try so hard for you to let me in I wish that I knew the way that you feel.

Why must your actions be so confusing There must be a method to your madness. Why can’t you just tell me what you’re doing There is no way that you planned all of this.

I can’t imagine my world without you Though, it’s getting hard to see you in it. I really thought that we had something, too. As of now, to me, your presence is shit.

They keep saying you will know when you know. I think that it is time I let you go.

Missing you.

I said I wouldn't write about you Said I was done But there's so much that I need to say, Things I can't say to you Or anybody else. - I can't help it I miss you You're not even gone yet, Yet here I am wishing you weren't leaving Wishing I could spend more time with you. - I just really wonder Do you ever think about me? Do I even matter? Did I ever matter? You said I was your friend I wonder what else you said that was a lie. - You said you loved me I know it wasn't like... Love But you still said it. You knew that would fuck me up You said it anyway You probably regretted it. - I don't like to say that I miss you, But I do. I really really do. I don't think I will ever stop missing you, And that's sad. -

Summer

Mischievous teens Broken dreams Chasing what they'll never see - Wondering What is next for them What will the next adventure hold - Finding abandoned places Long late night drives Looking for swimming holes - These teens will do anything for fun In a place like this They need to escape - They know that home holds nothing special So they leave In search of new memories -

Dreamy

All those nights Spent thinking of you When I should have been Dreaming of someone better - Let this be known I have begun dreaming Of that better someone I wish I had been dreaming sooner - Now that you are gone That dream will soon be a reality The life that I will be living Hopefully sooner rather than later - Though I wish for brighter days I know that I must wait If I pressure for a better future I will only bring my darker past - We will soon part ways And likely never speak again Though this is truth I wish you the best -

Ignorance is Bliss

I reach out to say Are you okay But you won't even give me the time of day - Leaving me wondering Wondering why Why did you not answer me - Now you leave me guessing How you're doing Why you're acting this way - You see me in a terrible state Yet look at my words And move on with your day - It seems to me that you're on your way Out the door Leaving without saying goodbye -

[writteninthelatehours]

Worthless

Why are you here Please go away Why do you always seem to come my way - Showing up on the worst occasions Days where I should be happy are ruined Drowning me in sorrow - I wish you would just leave Go away Never come back - You always leaving me feeling that I don’t matter and I have no worth Making me feel like nothing but dirt - You said you would stay around Yet you’re never here Whenever I want to see you - I don’t need you anyway I don’t want you today I hate you and your ways -

[writteninthelatehours]

New Hope

This is a new era A new me The beginning of true happiness - I feel these next few months will be amazing You won't be in my life anymore I'll be able to live with eyes open - I hope you get jealous I hope you envy me I hope you miss me - You aren't worth my time You're out of mind You're staying out - The door to my mind is closed A new door has been opened And you'll never have the keys -

[writteninthelatehours]

Go Away

I have come to terms with this The never ending abyss For which my love for you Is a shade of eternal blue - There is nothing I can do But wait and watch you Wait for you to go away Counting down day by day - Leaving is the only thing that will help And you're the first to do so I only hope you'll forget about me Because I know that I won't do so - I hope that we never speak again We once again become strangers Like days of former year Those were the days I grinned ear to ear - Days of yesteryear are fond memories Fond because you aren't there I openly embrace days of tomorrow Days where you are gone - And I know that I am not wrong For I can for see The best thing for me Is to wait for you to be gone -

Contradictory

My previously blurry vision of you Now becoming clearer You're a complicated person Yet I enjoy it - It leaves me questioning Even though I shouldn't be You're a simple, genuine person Yet I can't see it - What ever you say you mean No underlying message No need to try and decode your thoughts Yet I try to anyway - I look forward to spending more time together Going on adventures Making each other laugh Yet I also fear it - I fear getting too close to you will mess me up again Just as I was getting good I fear falling back in love with you Yet I can't wait for it to happen -

[writteninthelatehours]

Memories

Memories of you will follow me around No longer bad memories Happy, good memories - Memories of laughter Fun times that we shared Memories of days where we didn’t care - I want to make more memories No more negative feelings I will only accept happiness - We all have so much planned I hope that you can attend I would like you to be there until the end - It’s going to be hard to see you go As we grow closer I know that I’ll miss you After the summer -

Freedom

I am no longer trapped My mind has set me free By letting you go - My mind has set you free Free from my mind Finally letting you go - Letting you go Letting my freedom in I'm loving this new found freedom - No longer sad over petty things No longer anxiously wondering why you won't talk to me No longer waiting - You might say I have given up But giving in Is the best victory I've ever had -

Overdue

The ghost of who I used to be Is not who I choose to be Because who I choose to be Is better than the ghost of me - I am proud to be who I say to be I am me and there's no changing me I am stronger than I have ever been Because of who I choose to be - You are not controlling me I am the only one in mission control It will stay that way, I'm on a roll No, you are not in control - There is no reason for you to be up there I do not want you in there Get out of here This isn't fair - I didn't ask for you Your stay in my head is overdue Pack up your bags and walk on through The door is waiting for you - You can go take over someone new Someone pure, ready for you Ready for you to strike and ruin them Go after them, I cannot continue to host you -

I mostly write when I'm sad, not seeing poems is a good and a bad thing then. *shrug*

Inevitable

My mind is broken Repeat every word that’s spoken Running through my head. - Analyzing every sentence you say Everyone effects me a different way In the end of the day wishing it weren’t this way. - Even when you mean nothing of it My mind will end up having a fit The smallest things you say could ruin my day. - I often wonder if I should let you know Although I know how this will go You will end up hating me. - You won’t intend to But then we will end up never speaking again Strangers that have never spoken - It will happen either way You’ll end up finding out some how Then I will be crushed. - I will be crushed into a realm of not feeling Right after I began to feel real again I just began feeling again. - I genuinely hope you never read these There’s no stopping you though No way for me to know either. - If you ever do read these Know that you were very important to me Beyond how you’ll ever know. -
