#my poems

[aphrodites-serenade]

Call it a sin if you'd like

In a room whose walls are decorated with painted flowers,

Lies two girls, in their own stage of blooming, on a queen-sized bed

The scent of vanilla and honey is overwhelming if you step inside

Enough to make an adult feel sick

The girl with longer hair keeps her eyes closed, not knowing if she's doing it right

Not if what she's doing is right

But the girl with shorter hair breaks the kiss too quickly

“You don't like it?” asks the other

“I do…” she replies

“Then, can we..?”

She mimics what’s she’s seen on TV, except she’s never imagined doing it with a boy

Outside, they'll be what they're told to be

But inside, in the comfort of a pretend home,

No one can tell them that they’re too young to know

They can live freely, away from disgusted eyes and mouths that scream this is unclean

What's pure love anyways?

If not two girls, leaving sweet promises on each other's skin?

“It was so obvious you wouldn't come

And maybe i should stop

After all these years,

Waiting for someone who decided

Spontaneously and with no remorse

To leave me„

- Ele 🪻

This is 0% rhymes and 100% sheer rage.

btw I’ve mentioned this on here before but I had a really shitty ex boyfriend. while I was in the relationship, I would write poems about him being my lifeline, the thing that kept me floating, he brought color to my world and I would praise him for giving me the tiniest of kindnesses. But there was a lot of red flags and bad shit he did to me and things he put me through, that honestly I couldn’t admit and realize until I went to therapy. A lot of those poems have been changed in my head, the meaning of them changed, and I even wrote poems changing the meaning of the earlier poems. The good was good. The bad was worse. I know that now. I’m older now. It’s brighter now.

If I can do that for myself on a private level, why can’t Taylor do it publicly? Why can’t she do this for herself? She wrote him into her world, let her write him out if she needs too. She’s older now. Let her do the same.

She did not want

The safe and familiar

she needed to be lost

In the insanity of lust

The intoxication

of her senses 

to lose control …

in his arms “

to carry your grief on my back would be an honor by judas h.

you deserve someone

who'll learn what you like

what you hate

and why you cry at night

[shareapoetry]

I thought I never experienced love,

The rush in your veins,

The racing of your heart,

Things that people call butterflies;

But the love I found was nothing like that,

He was like a fine wine getting better with age,

While I was like a bird rotting in its cage.

He was full of calmness inside,

While I was like a turbulent storm;

Talking with him was all I needed to feel alright,

And his shoulder felt like home;

When he was with me I desired no more,

Because love is found in comfort;

Not in chaos.

I have lost all energy

To do anything

Except love.

i’m looking at the sun and you’re looking at the moon and the stars are begging us to look at each other

Don't force love.

Don't force ties.

Don't force connections.

Don't force conversations.

You are the person I think of calling when I have something funny or exciting to tell. You are the person I long to share the news with, when life is good and happy. And you are the person I wish to run to for comfort when it isn’t.

“I would gladly pull you

into my darkness

let you feed on my lust

bathe in my depravity

and take everything ...you give

use it unmercifully “
