The Original Poems

Poetry

A collection of poetry, all written by me. Some of its kind of sad, and kind of dark. But it's all based, however loosely, on real life. A note before you read: I'm glad you're taking the time to read my poetry :). But before you do, I'd like to m...

I can't offer you this tonight

I can't offer you peace

Or happiness

I can't offer you anything worth holding onto

Just a grudge,

Spanning years

A strange worldview,

Shattered, splintered hopes

And just stepping away,

Watching from above

As I see,

I remember,

This aching loneliness

I remember

How comfortable I feel in that role

And I hate it

But its familiar

So I step back into it with ease,

That strange child,

Spending time alone

Not with anyone else,

No,

Never

These past few months have dulled

The razor edge,

Of desperation

Made me forget

But I haven't forgotten,

Not all the way

Not when

I needed that to survive

I haven't accepted everything you've offered,

Not yet

My emotions are a whirlwind tonight

Simply trying to live now

Has me panicking so

Much,

All inside

But

I still feel it

I don't know

What this world is

That I've found

Myself

But I don't

Think

I like it

I like being safe

This doesn't feel safe

I wish I could

But I don't feel at peace

I wanted peace

But this is all I could offer you

Even as my emotions tangle and twist themselves up

This is all

I could give you

Now

Not enough

But

I can't

Force myself

To do another thing

No matter how small

This heart

Has grown weary

Tonight

I don't know

How

I'll be

Able
