I'm sorry.
aslan Apr 2018
You’re always there,

On my mind

And you never seem to leave.

It’s embarrassing

When you catch me staring.

You say something

And I blush.

****

I say,

I’m sorry!

It’s awful.

I wish I didn’t feel this way about you

But I do.

Crap.

I’m sorry!

Lost.
aslan Apr 2018
I get lost

And stare off into space

When I think of you.

You tease me about my poetry

But I bet you don’t know

That most of it is about you.

You take my depression from me,

Make me smile,

You make me feel whole again.

I think I love you

And you say you feel the same

But I don’t believe you.

Because we both like her too

And she’s taken

Like you’ve taken my heart.

in soft,

because in runs in my veins

colourless
aslan Apr 2018
All I see
Is blur
Walking in the colourless world
Feeling too empty to cry.
Grey, black, slate
White is too bright for this occasion.
It’s getting harder and harder to breathe
I’m suffocating
But nobody gives a ****,
Do they?
I’m numb,
Comfortably so.

I wish every night
At 11:11
Or at the sight of a shooting star
For you.
For the feeling of being
In your arms.
What do you wish for?

How?
aslan Apr 2018
How can emptiness
Be so **** heavy?

How can a poet
Run out of words?

How can a musician
Run out of lyrics and song?

How can I be
When I want nothing more than to not exist?

it will eat you alive

it's eating you alive already

IT’S OKAY TO BE ANGRY
BUT IT’S NOT OKAY TO BE CRUEL
SO, TELL ME, WHY THE **** ARE YOU DOING THIS?
JUST LOOK AT ME
IN THE EYES
AND BREATHE
BECAUSE THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO CALM YOU DOWN
I LOVE YOU
I
LOVE
YOU
JUST BREATHE

masterpiece
aslan Apr 2018
You are poetry
You are love songs
You are art
And I’m sorry that
People can’t see that
And tear you apart
Instead of just singing your name
Realizing your beauty
And admiring your presence
But I guess
Everyone’s a critic, huh?
Except me.
I just love you
And everything that you are.
you are beauty

Kept Promises.
aslan Apr 2018
I’ll never forget you.

I can promise you that.

That’s probably the only thing I can promise.

Until the day I die,

No matter how soon or late that day is,

I will always remember you.

And if there is a such thing

As life after death,

Then I will remember you still.

If there is life after death,

Then I believe in love after death, too.

I will love you for all eternity.

Till fate do us part.
66 · Apr 2018
I'm Sorry.
aslan Apr 2018
I can’t believe

I’m leaving you

In this hell

So soon.

I feel awful about it.

Because with each passing day,

You seem more and more lost.

I wish I wasn’t the only one

Doing this to you.

I wish you didn’t

Have to experience it

At all.

I’m so ******* sorry.

Trying to be yellow,
And he was yellow,
Trying to be grey.

And I wanted nothing more
Than to die.

Together
Is like mixing

And
Cigarettes.

No matter how hard I try,
It doesn’t make a difference.
I wear masc clothing
But when I run out,
I’m left with femme stuff.
People do double-takes
When they look at me,
Trying to figure out
What the hell I am.
I can tell you this:
I’m not a ma’am.
I am a man.

A little death

and perhaps I should have listened to you a little sooner
Mr. Vargas
For you truly knew
That for a human to live
They must first **** themselves

Like tending a garden
You must **** the self-absorbed parts of you
The weeds

Yet killing yourself
Does not mean that you must be
Exempt from living.

Tears.
aslan Apr 2018
When I die,

Please don’t cry over me.

Because I will not be able

to wipe away your tears.

You know I’ve loved you,

Always,

Until the day I died.

I can’t care for you anymore,

But you’re ready.

I have faith in you.

You believe in life after death

And I believe in love after death

So we will find each other

Again.

And I am the rain.

You are a drizzle
And I am a hurricane.

You are the peace
And I am the chaos.

You are the waves
And I am the wind.

You are mine
And I am yours.

Trapped
aslan Apr 2018
I’m afraid to tell you

Because I’m not sure how you’ll take it.

Ma’am, I’m different.

I’m not like my brothers or my sisters.

I’m trapped inside

This body that doesn’t belong to me.

If you look at me from the outside,

You see a girl

But if you look at me from the inside,

You see a boy.

I’m not comfortable

With how I look.

These feelings are real

I’m just not sure how to explain it.

It makes me want

To rip my skin apart

To crawl out

Of my very being.

I still like makeup

And sometimes wear girly clothes

But I want to cut my hair

And have surgery.

This isn’t a snap decision

I’ve felt this way for a while.

I’m sorry if this disgusts you

I hope you’re not disappointed

Because you mean so much to much

And I really don’t want to lose you, too.
