Plain Old Jealousy
Emm Sep 2017
I'm jealous
Greed monster jealous
So so green with jealousy
Emerald green sea of jealousy
There's not even a point
To hide it
Over one little petty thing, where you stayed with her forever
Happily ever after
He looks like Prince Charming and I look no Cinder
Before I know it we we just cinder...
Feel the rush feel the heat
Should calm down where's there's none to beat...
You chose to stay true,
so I guess she's lucky to have you
Worry not, I'll leave as I'm no witch,
and I won't let you switch ...
Even though my heart is broken in two,
but isn't that what the bad characters always do?
I'll take both pieces and leave none for you...
So I wish you be happy you two...

You and Her
Emm Apr 2017
Stop crying, you silly girl
what are you crying about
Ridiculous how a hand held can make you weep...
Fingers entwined... warmth... cosy...
Entitlement...

I'm alright...
I'm alright...
I'm alright...

It was silly of me, my mistake for believing what you never meant...
Exchanging plesantries were never meant for anything else,
of course...
Of course...
Forgive my imagination for reading fantasies into things...
My fantasies were all I see and not your intentions...
Petals bloom and wilt... It's your turn to bloom now...
So let me...--
I'll step back now...
Let you enjoy the warm sunlight...
I'm alright...
I'm alright...

Silly girl... what are you on about?...

Forgotten Yearning
Emm Apr 2018
I've exhausted all methods of wasting time
swollen whole by ethos gone by
My heart has grown cold of waiting
snubbed, with overgrown shrubs
It has forgotten the warm embraces
the birds chirping
that a new love can bring
it has forgotten how to love, the exictements
as with sorrow it exits from every broken commitment
Can old memories be retrieved?
Once the right key keeper appears
Finder's keeper, I'd concur
I grew tired of wishing,
and I've mastered the art of walking alone
So I'd keep on treading as I trod
I would need no one's hand to hold,
but my own
Getting over with all the yearning,
now just laughing with what the world brings

Deviant
Emm Dec 2019
The aftertaste dark black coffee is the taste how our relationship after it ends,
bittersweet with pungent acidity, but this one burns
Right now, standing in the beginning,
I don't know what you do, but it's blinding

Yet there's this little voice ringing,

I'm scared to write our future 'cause I know there's none
It's bleak in the midst of dust and sand
Can't see clearly and nothing's solid off the ground

So, 'let's leave darling', said little voice, 'find your way home once again'
'he's none to have unless you're looking for fun'
yet for fun how much should we amend
'wish you would peek your nothern star once again'
'and just follow it 'till the end'

Pretend Boyfriend
Emm Sep 2024
Hey, how are you today?
Eaten yet?
What's for lunch?
I'm just about to go online
I miss you...
Love you...

Do you want to be my pretend boyfriend?
Let's pretend you are mine for a while
Simulate the expressions and situations
Is this what I want?
Split my headspace for someone else but me
Another emotional burden to ensure you're okay
A stranger...
All through but a cold hard screen...
Typed words unread...
Or left on read...
'K'...
No, I'm not 'Kay'...
Am I even real?
Are you even real?
Is this what we want?
It feels like prentend...
It feels like make believe...
Something I cannot attain,...
Or maybe I'm just naïve...
Even though we really are,
Lovers...

Meant to be Lonely
Emm Oct 2019
I've been in more heartbreaks than I'd like to admit
but I've been running away more than I count

Meant to be lonely,
just meant to be lonely
Can't find nobody,
no I can't find nobody
I'll enjoy the silence after the party
Don't need nobody,
I don't need nobody

Nobody Knows
Emm Nov 2019
Sitting in the corner looking sad in her dressing gown
Now the people away all she does is looking down
When all the party's over and the fun has all been done
The crowd has left,  just empty bottles all around

But nobody knows ... her,
nobody knows...

Looking at her feet trying to find her way on the ground
Thinking if at all she was ever needed here
If anyone can tell her for a way how she could stand,
then she would run away and gladly follow her

Nobody knows ... her,
nobody knows...

no, not like the people from down under
She'll find a way to get it over,
somehow, but for now,
She's looking in the mirror,

and, she doesn't know ... her,
no, she doesn't know...
Oh, until she finds her,
until she knows her...

someday, someday...
keep searching, for her...

Untitled
Emm Sep 2020
I never like it called six feet under
Nor stone cold or whatnot
The thought still make me shudder
But with old days comes another point

In love with life is a grand feeling
The fountain of youth everyone was looking
Closer then they think

Yet after those lonely night and days
As people part their ways
What more was there to lay

When all you knew are gone
When all that stayed were well masked with unknown intentions
Things have always been

But now,
You know
...

So perhaps all you'll want to do is closing the gates
Find your restart
For where did it start to go wrong no one knows
The disappointments are all there is
Why you drift apart are only what it should be
Perhaps somehow people choose to be lonely
In the end, it doesn't matter
We were always a part of something bigger
Perhaps someday you'd say,
"Let's rest after a long long tiring day..."

— The End —
