Missing you comes at the most unexpected hours.
I have no idea how?
But you have left traces of you all over me and my life, that,
Even this sky looks like you,
Then how can i say goodbye?
Come Quickly
By Debi Lyn 09/24/22
My darling where are you?
You’ve already been gone too long.
Emotions,
too hard to hide
feeling,
sensitive to the touch
feeling these emotions that I have for you
makes me vulnerable
for I feel too deeply
i feel,
If my heart had a voice,
It would make a million wishes.
And, from each wish
a million stars would fall,
each one shattering the silence,
cutting through the walls.
Missing In Abyss
Why have I gone this far
is it to see how far I can go
before I slit the throats of the cobra
or is it to know my ill mind is legit
I'm not paranoid on a meth trip
Stars that waver in the night
Its cold exterior rippled by the comets shed
The aurora night sky blooms in unknown emotions
The cosmos is all she weeps for
Missing
I sit still in silence,
Wondering how my heart would feel if you were here.
I’m filled with tears as my eyes struggle to maintain balance,
My body feels cold as it sinks in an endless void filled with despair.
Oh, at long last,
I’ve found you,
Although, the news
Ain’t so good,
Seems you found love…
You seem happy,
And so fulfilled
But did I think that,
You’d be lonely,
A blurry future isn't a motivation to do better
But leave today better than yesterday
And even though we don't know what tomorrow looks like
Make sure you go at it with your all
I was twelve years too late.
Or perhaps you were twelve years too soon.
Yet, your melodies,
Your soul,
Your sheer passion and enchant,
Nervous pangs and tattering thoughts
The impending terror of my dreams lay before me.
Psychology tells physiology to shut its mouth but biology gives in:
Close my eyes and count to three
It's been almost a year
That's three-hundred-sixty-five days
since the last time I saw you
Since the last time you had life inside you.
I remember the wires, the hoses, the machines
Seeking a connection to you is like reaching out to grab the air.
As I fall down a 20 foot cliff.
-Where are you now?
I see you running through the rain
I know its a stretch
Even for my fantastical childish dreams
But I still can see it
You will leave me, we will part,
We will bid our last goodbyes.
There will be lonely nights,
And days of missing,
But not now.
Because right now I am here,
And you are here
In my arms.
i still sleep
with the light on
in hopes it will travel through my ears
into my dreams
faster than the train did
Dear Grandma, I love you so much. You practically raised me. You called me your favorite. Things aren't going too well for you right now. You're always sick, passing out. You're nearly blind, and you don't remember me.
I know you don’t understand this, but my heart thinks about you literally every second when I’m not talking with you.
Dear Sasha,
Today I walked along the edge of the harbor
In Medemblik, the Netherlands,
With my grandmother's arm in mine.
I noticed a boat among the others
That looked like nothing extraordinary
I long to see your face,
To hear your voice,
But that will never be the case.
I want to pull you into an embrace,
Squeeze you tight,
For all the negatives to be erased.
I get a call around midnight delivering the news. My father has died, I can’t be told how until I am 18. My world feels broken now, and I don’t know how I am supposed to deal with it. I don’t sleep that night.
A nuisance, a loud crying baby,
I can’t express how annoyed you made me,
But I was young and I didn’t know,
That you were a blessing in disguise before you had even grown,
A shoulder to cry on,
My love, is it you?
i do not want to loose your soul for another because of blindness.
am i blind?
I miss you but i cannot remember who you are and loneliness
the wavering tree
the rolling stone
the shaking plea
a place called home
a hopeless need
chilled to the bone
a want for warmth
and a shoulder to cry on.
to get out of the storm,
Fairy Tales
Are written about princesses
With magic and love.
But people forget about
those who don’t get happy endings.
Does anyone care what goes on anymore?
Children are fragile beings of the earth.
They abused and locked behind closed doors,
Kidnapped and killed just after day of birth.
Half past twelve
Ticking began
Surrounded by waves
In lengths that fade
Silence screamed
And my heart gave way
To the beast inside
Never felt this way
I knew
I knew I loved you when I realized my favorite thing about you was your smile and the way it could light up the darkest rooms in my mind
Lonely on the inside
Can't seem to find my way
Thought this time
was suppose to be
Time that I'd find me
Forget about what pushed me gone
I let go, and I was done
Sometimes the hardest thing
Is to look in the mirror
To face the broken smile
The empty blue eyes
That once held the oceans.
Knowing that I could see your face
Or I could hear your laugh
Being with you
Wakes me up
Your fingers intertwined with mine
Where are you now?
You promised to always be by my side.
You promised to never leave
You said this day will never come
But yet, you had to leave
Why? Why are you gone?
What did I do wrong?
As I hold the Pen in my hand And the Ink flowing from the tipWhile I Write the Words that flowFrom my Heart to my handI get frustrated.Writing was Never Frustrating.It Never used to
I’d try to find you in the stupidest places,
I’d be watching a movie and find you,
I could find you in the street lights,
or reflecting off the lake,
or in the smoke that pours out of my cigarette,
I suppose I would like You to know that I am sorry.
That’s how all apologies and the like are supposed to begin,
With that admission of guilt or regret or something that tastes like bile
My little love
so far above.
I do miss
your loving kiss.
The night is full of scars
without you my little star.
You were my rock
the key to my lock
I may be a monster
The stars shone brightly in your eyes;A beautiful display.How I wish right here and now,You were here today.
Today is just another day,
walking past old friends.
Hearing people laugh at you as you walk past.
Having to face your fears in front of everyone.
Listing to the rumors about you,knowing they arent true.
At night I feel you hold me,Whispering all the things you never told me.When I wake up you'll be goneBut for now, I dream on.
1) you scroll through the emails exchanged late at night. well, it was late for you. He was just waking up; you could only imagine his tired eyes and sleepy voice
The last thing I'd thought I had lost,
my thick oversized journal I wished I had it then,
And not stacked in boxes, my hubby has his prized books in
Those infallible words, and thoughts, and reflections and poems
Shakespeare once said that “it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
But he couldn’t predict the empty nights laying in bed wishing you were next to me.
and our love story is different.
we didn’t end badly or terribly.
we didn’t end hating each other or regretting once said promises.
we ended by force.
If I showed you the happiness that you do to me, would you stay?
Even just for one more day.
Cause I know I'm a wreck lately, and I've been nothing but a pain.
Do we have anything left to gain?
I don't belong in heaven,
I'm not accepted in hell,
I'm neither angel, nor demon,
I don't belongin the human realm.
I have some power, and nothing to give.
I have a life, whith nothing for which to live.
She's gone.
Nostalgia comforts as I'm consumed
by my thoughts
By her lingering aroma
Sage, sassafras, and cinnamon drifting
in the wind
As I sit by our favorite willow tree
Mi Sol, Oh how I miss
Your mysterious brown eyes
Like a dark starless night.
I love how you rub your scruffy beard
Upon my soft, gentle cheek.
Christmas Lights, Whose power so bright. But not brighter than the grimaces hung from every face in sight. Joyous music fills the air, Holiday decorations fashioned everywhere. But not a holiday spirit can be found, not here, nor there.
Dismember me
Pull me apart piece by piece
Torture me
Hear my screams
Break me
Then put me back together
She took her tea with sugar this timeand waited for him to call.The gate made creakings on its hingesbut he made no sound at all.
You watch me but I know its cause you love me.
I wish I could have gotten to know you better
But we connect in spirit
Mama cries every night for you
Your hands run through my hair
Your piercing eyes searching mine
For what, I do not know
Nor do I know what you will find.
Maybe you see the way I adore you
My thoughts always wandering back to you
Boomerang, boomerang, where are you?
I threw you away when I didn't need you.
You needed my hands to hold you, but I did not want to.
Now you're far, far away where I cannot find you.
When memory calls upon me
I sit to remember
Joyous or Melancholy
Awake or in slumber
The sights I have seen
The things I have known
The people I’ve loved
Even though some are gone
The last time we kissed was two years ago.I didn't know it would be our lastI think I would have done it differently if I didA fleeting peck right before I left?That's not how I wanted our last moment to be
I woke up craving you.
What is really new?
I love you,
But do you really love me too?
Or is that just more lies
that I believe when looking
into those pretty hazel eyes.
Now it's been weeks since I have shed a tear for "you,"
But tonight I saw a distant memory that carried me away,
Into a deep blue sky of long-past, whimsical dreams
I once shared with a girl I once knew.
The thread that ties me to you
Is soaked in ether and stretches even deeper.
This thread is of the worst kind of blue,
Even though it was your favorite hue.
It's purple in the right light,
Oh my darling, please don’t
Don’t let depression sear your heart
I know it’s hard to say goodbye
But sometimes friends must part
You killed my confidence and left me crawling—
Not that I was old enough to know before
That it’s okay to love myself and someone else
At the same time with nothing to be sorry for.
Is it still just a game—?
When you’re holding me close underwater
And I’m wondering how long you’ll let me wait
Before I turn around to see you face to face
In the dark, alone and falling
Back in the day i wouldnt even know this is you
Every move, every word is brand new
Your love for me you aint even gotta prove cause you see it in me, i see it in you
Was walking down the hall
It was just the other day
Caught a whiff of something there
What it was, I couldn’t say
But when I held my breath in
And didn’t take another
Are we really meant to move ahead
All the things holding us back, sometimes I just lay in bed
The war, the debt, the things we can't change
I'd speak about it but get labeled insane
I started just like any other
clean and pure and a heart that was whole
Innocence started to fleet
learned to walk on my own two feet
Too many nights my mind wanders
travelling to where my lost possessions are now.
Ordinary belongings.
A blue hoodie. Hairties. Pencils and pens.
Then instead of wandering to unknown destinations,
There is a yard
And a great tall tree
Instructing what to draw and write
There is a fence of chain
Between the lilacs and me
There is a garden
That only grows dirt
Home is a small place that somehow still has room for everyone.
Home is filled with strangers. Definition: Family you've yet to come to know.
I dream of being in your arms,
Laying my head across your chest.
I slowly wake up and, half asleep
I can still feel you as you rest.
We're together, just us two
I hug you tight and won't let go,
It's 3am and I'm starting to wonder
if this storm is outside my window
or inside of my chest because I
miss the thunder of your breath
against my neck and the way your
fingers pour into me
Before the fourth of July. I never knew pain so severe. Expecting a few firework shows with enjoyable sound. The bright vivid colors seem to amaze us all and make the little kids go wild. Instead i ended up with the opposite.
He moved, slowly, into the silence
And I haven’t seen him since.
Do I stay or do I part?
The decision will come from my heart.
We not together but I love what we got but I can tell the vibe is gone when the text messages start getting short and the phone calls stop being long
First, you lost your mind
and I tried to help you
but you were already
gone.
Next, you lost your voice
there was nothing to do
but watch you.
Days,
Weeks,
Months,
They pass.
And I wait.
I wait on you.
I wait on a FaceTime,
A call,
Some word.
But you don't call.
You don't FaceTime,
You send no word.
I turn on the radio and that same song you sung
brings back memories of you being gone.
Every time I saw you I felt as if I was in a dream,
but now that it's over I know it was just a scheme.
Saying goodbye is never easyIt always comes sooner than we intendThey make our insides uneasyBecause we don't know when the missing will stop and decend
Misty night, the road seemed to be sparsely coated with broken glass.
The scent of rain and smoke quietly wafting in my noise,
I could feel the heaviness of the air pressure in my lungs.
fades like the memories of our love, drawn on the sand on the beach that night ,washed in the memories of my tears that night 2 year on
My heart hurts because I've been missing you so much.
I know I can never get you back
Because,you're Gone
I cry next to your ashened body
I hug the box with my life
NEVER wanting to let go
I tried to give you a chance.
All you wanted to do was play games.
My love out in the open; obvious at first glance.
I fell for the charm; the way you said my name.
The way you held yourself. I was blinded.
Even if it is the perfect time for
Your intrepid morning coffee,
It's not so great for the threads of wonder
That spun in your mind last night
But eventually helped you to K.O
Old crumpled up paperAll the old letters,which collect dust in the boxThe box under the bed that I no longer look inThe one full of old memoriesThe memories that don’t seem to be anything anymoreThe old photos,Pictures of people I used to know,Fac
The night creeps up
and it stings because
it reminds me of the things
that we used to mutter and sigh,
laugh and cry
to each other.
The daylight shines out our pain,
Oh, but the night,
I’ll Never See Your Face Again
I close my eyes and try to remember your face
Every detail
Every shade
The pain swells up as I know
I will never see that face again.
There are days when i hate missing you more than otros
Why? Because on those days i want nothing more than, to dig
my fingers into the roots of your hair, bringing your mind
(we are) 1,300 miles away from each other so far but if we look up at the sky at the same timeit is the same nightthere are (the same stars)the same questions
It is hard knowing we’re this far apart,
doing nothing, but missing each other.
The space between seems simply elongated,
making it hard to think properly.
Want you here, holding me in your arms;
I reflect. I dream. I speak. I desire.
How does it even compare? A broken heart? A summer's day? They are all the same.
We wander. We drift. We run. We crave.
Did you think I didn’t care?
Care that you breathe
Care that I can’t feel you
Wrap your arms around me
Because I do care
I care that you exist
I care about what you have to say
A small little place is where I grew up, with a few close friends at my side.
And on summer nights we'd walk the town, and watch the stars spread wide.
So numerous and beautiful, my soul was filled with awe.
I miss you even if I don't know who you are.I miss your face and your voice and your smile and you.
*for my mother*
Yellow light casts its glow across the halls, ghoulish,
Empty except for the sounds of whirring machines and soft feet.
The halls open into a room where skeletons reside,
Iridescence
I long to feel you,
every day that you have been gone.
Your clothes stay folded in your drawers,
my phone never rings,
your drum set collects dust,
Tears burn my gentle face
What hurts me the most
Is knowing there's nothing I can do
But look up at the midnight sky
And pray you know how much I miss you
My first heartbreak and you weren't there
If you were here
It would all be different
The way the leaves fall off the trees
They could glide the way lips graze over teeth in smiles
It’s in the broken hours of the night that minds pace
through hallways of a never-ending maze
Sleep is just the prize of a game we barely play
We don’t need to close our eyes to see what we fear
How much do I love you?
How much do you care?
What I would do for just your kiss and your stare?
These questions frequently run through my mind.
Sometimes it scares me, I wish I could hide.
For every thought that I think of you
For every poem that comes through
For all of the longing it's worth
For all of the past time spent
For all is which that isn't there worth?
You extracted all the good from your heart, and injected yourself into my veins.
As your love flowed through me I was overcame with a surge of euphoria,
a rush so powerful it left my palms sweaty and my mouth dry.
I just want to know,
how far this poem will go.
Will it reach you at sea?
Will you be thinking of me?
Will you hear it in your sleep?
Will you think about about it when you weep?
Every time I fall asleep
The memories all start to creep
Memories of you and I
It hurt too much, to say goodbye
But farewell at least
To what, the man, a beast
Called by a name, a name of man
I miss you very much,
But you’re never coming back.
In this world of color,
Yours is solid black.
I don’t know what happened,
I just know you’re not here.
I remember all the good times
