Heart on my sleeve. My soul on a leash.

I had to stop.

Because what else
is left to give,

when you
give it all you got?

"Just how dark?" They ask.

"Sometimes I give the devil quite a scare," I reply.

I'll craft you poems
every chance
that I get,
strip your soul bare,
entwine it's
essence — adorn you with words.

In novels, women ruled,
queens in pages revealed.
Girls grew in ink's embrace,
forever kids — time concealed.

your eyes delve, pages
turned, tales unfurl;
novels well-read.

drunk on love, mind
stagers — your tale unfolds.
I'll pen your chapters,
paint your
canvas — stories untold.

as you read, worlds
entangle — your narrative
defined,
the lines, your story shall
wrangle.

In ink's embrace,
forever you'll be, a character
in poems,
written by me.

The moon never asks for
attention after all,

                          It just glows.

I will unlearn your heart.
I will forget your ways.

I will outgrow this pain.
I will sprout from this grave.

The stars have burned a billion
years, but refuse to burnout.

I will love again. These scars
will be a light.

What better way to feel
that pain,than to light the
path as you burn.

You took my worth
with you when
you left.

But why
should I be mad,
when all you did was
just take back what you gave.

"Maybe, we’re dumb to try to pin significance onto every little thing.

Maybe, when someone says, “I see you,” it just means, “I see you.”

I gave her my heart, but she never cares for it.

It just sits there...

                    ..collecting dust.

Candles burn out,

               Eventually.

You squeeze all the
love out of me.
Then you leave me
on poles to dry, hanging.

You can throw me to the wolves, they won't hurt me. The wolves know my scent. We howl at the moon together.

You can take me to the demons, they don't terrify me. The devil knows my name. We spend nights together.

You can give me up to ghosts so they haunt me. Oh! How they like it; this void in my chest, where my heart used to be.

Love falls like snow.
It's beautiful but it's cold.

Don't get too close.

I was just
trying to save the
little that was
left of me.

I didn't know.

Putting out the flames,
when emotions
set you ablaze
just turns your heart cold.
Gerald Oct 2021
Sometimes you mean just a little. And sometimes you mean nothing at all.
