This used to excite me.
Now it just makes me
feel hollow.
You ask if
there's anything new.
There's nothing new,
same old me.
Maybe I've been too much;
maybe I haven't been enough.
I'm not anything special;
I'... [read more] |

At least I still have you
who hasn't thrown me away.
Though sometimes I feel like
I'd leave you tomorrow
if I had anywhere to go.
You wonder why I stray
but all the reasons
are right in your face.
I've resigned... [read more] |
metaphorist posted a new Poem titled Closed Doors 4 weeks ago
Close friends
become closed doors
shut in my face.
Slammed doors
look like rejection
and feel like dissolution.
The whole world can't be wrong;
there must be reason why
everybody abandons me.
I'm easy to fall in love... [read more] |

Sometimes I think
I'm just being paranoid,
but then the grenade falls on me.
And I realize,
in my neuroticism,

My world comes
crashing down on me
like a house of cards.

Fuck you
and your pathetic little life.
You think you are so happy
in your tiny isolated bubble.

where your insecurities lie.
You made me feel... [read more] |

I want you to think I'm a nice person,
but I will use you and spit you out
because that's what I tend to do.
You are nothing more than a placeholder;
it doesn't matter what we talk about,
only that I am a little less lonely.
You served... [read more] |

I haven't slept a wink because of you

If only you could hear all the scenarios

redbrick posted a new Poem titled musing on a winter’s night 4 weeks ago
It is a quiet night, the air is still.
The chill of winter touches each pane.
Under a streetlight's gentle beam,
snowflakes twirl in a silent dance.
The street lies muted,
a figure moves slowly.
His... [read more] |

There are more kinds of women in this world
Over and over why are these the lucky chosen ones?
Not fair at all!
God did't create just them alone

Every woman is not made in the same golden mold
Got to wise up... [read more] |

Once upon a time there was a King named Don
Don is the King this poem is based on
This might be true, it's what many claim
Wished to be addressed just by his first name
Don the King had the bad habit of smokin'
Smoked three packs a day... [read more] |
