aurora borealis
R L Nov 2020
the range of colors,
in the sky,
i can see your soul,
you let it fly,
i want to be,
with you for now,
then later i can forget,
that you were ever around.
the green,
the blue,
my love for you,
the purple,
the yellow,
the air so mellow,
the wind it blows,
and i let you go,
aurora borealis,
it reminds me of you.

demons
R L Dec 2020
i patiently wait for my demons
to take me to their home,
because i feel that i belong there,
and i know i'm not alone.

our time
R L Nov 2020
Time is a loan
We live every second, with more debt
Our society has locked us in a dungeon
We’re told that we don’t have enough time for things
But why does it matter?
If we don’t even know when we die
Time is limited
We have all the time in the world
Because it’s our time
Not theirs
65 · Oct 2020
in my grave
R L Oct 2020
After I died
everyone was sorrow
For me, there was no tomorrow
Because I was 6 feet under
Did they love me?
I wonder
It doesn’t matter now
Because if they cared for me
I wouldn’t be in my grave
Waiting for them to join me
but they’re trying to be brave
By showing they loved me...
after I died
It’s about suicide....
65 · Oct 2020
the ocean waves
R L Oct 2020
So relaxing
Yet so intimidating
It could take you away in a wash
Or you could watch it in amazement
Every wave
Consists of memories
sadness
happiness...
or suicide
🌊 honestly, waves are pretty cool and relaxing

out of patience
R L Dec 2020
my patience tops your anger,
waiting weeks to help you out,
but you never let me,
so im out of patience
64 · Nov 2020
talk
R L Nov 2020
i stayed up
and talked to the stars
i said everything i could
and talked about you
the stars heard enough
and left me alone
with the shining sun
and i spoke
everything about you
then came night
and the moon wanted to learn
so i spoke and spoke
until the sun returned.

jenga
R L Dec 2020
you take a piece of me,
and i fall,
cuz there's no support,
nothing to help me in a world so small.
I can't live without a piece of me,
can you build it up
and tower me please?
62 · Nov 2020
the path of regret
R L Nov 2020
I walk on the path of regret
Something I wish I’d never done
But I hope to lose track on the way
Because losing you
was worse than loving you
And nothing I do now can change that
62 · Nov 2020
die
R L Nov 2020
die
my lungs fill with fire,
and my heart bleeds the flames.
It's what i desire,
there's no need for shame,
i breathe out the hate,
and inhale what i need,
my problems aren't yours,
so let them be.
You're not here to love me,
so what're you here for?
My skin is now burnt,
there's nothing to live for,
you hated me,
and so did i,
now let me be,
so i can die
62 · Oct 2020
Lose
R L Oct 2020
Please stay alive
For me
Keep laughing
For me
I don’t want to lose you
Like I lost everything
Before I met you
I wrote this in one minute

dark place
R L Nov 2020
sometimes our mind is the darkest place,
but so is the midnight sky.
62 · Nov 2020
fantasy
R L Nov 2020
someone get me out of this fantasy,
it's too good to be true,
i could live here happily,
but it wouldn't be fair to you.
61 · Dec 2020
lights out
R L Dec 2020
the lights out,
nowhere to go,
we all hide,
in shadows below,
a thousand screams
hidden by the dark,
we have nothing to lose
just the core of our hearts
61 · Dec 2020
superior
R L Dec 2020
a godly figure,
you're oh-so-strong,
to others you're the biggest,
but i hated you all along,
you thought you meant something to me,
you were just a game i played,
so go to your peasants,
and make them think you saved the day.

house of roses
R L Nov 2020
the house of roses,
that looked like heaven,
but when we went inside,
where the thorns were to hide,
it was like hell,
and pain,
and death
60 · Dec 2020
field
R L Dec 2020
I stand in the field,
Devoid of worries,
Just me and my soul,
Forgetting life.
59 · Oct 2020
Numb
R L Oct 2020
I felt nothing
I couldn’t feel the pain that was existent
It was there
But I couldn’t sense it
I was immune to pain.....
But only for a while
It wasn’t long until someone would break my heart or destroy my worth
My first one hehe
59 · Nov 2020
paths change
R L Nov 2020
i was walking the path my whole life,
too afraid for changes,
until i decided to steer to the right,
where i was happier than ever,
and i wasn't following a specific path,
except mine
change is more important than you think it is
59 · Oct 2020
you left me
R L Oct 2020
It’s not that hard to love me for who I am
You could’ve told me before you decided to forget me
To leave me behind
As if I didn’t belong with you
      As if I wasn’t worth loving
            You betrayed me
      Left me crying
              You tore me up
Then acted as if I was fine
I should’ve known
                It was an act
    All of it
Now I’m back
             Where I was
                           Square 1
And I’ll have to keep searching
To let you know
                 That I’ve won
58 · Dec 2020
rewrite
R L Dec 2020
bring me to your daydreams,
and the nightmares that you have,
i'll rewrite all the stories,
and replay the memories we had,
I’ll reminisce on the fun,
and collect them all in one,
then put them in your dreams,
so you’ll remember how we won.
58 · Dec 2020
show and tell
R L Dec 2020
am i dead to you,
or just another story you could tell?
was i worth loving,
or was i just for show and tell?
was it all real,
or were you faking it all along?
was our love made of stone,
or just a thread to hold our bond?
57 · Dec 2020
waves
R L Dec 2020
undulating waves,
blue beauty,
in one wash they take your mind away

road trip
R L Nov 2020
our love was like a road trip,
we were right beside each other
for so long
until we switched lanes
and drifted away from each other
57 · Nov 2020
forever
R L Nov 2020
nothing is perfect,
so there is never a "forever"
56 · Nov 2020
outer space
R L Nov 2020
i'm in space,
but it's nothing like the movies.
it's empty,
like a black sheet of paper,
with white dots.
the view of earth,
makes me feel small.
the moon is gorgeous,
and the sun is not so near,
and i feel freedom, and solitude, with nobody here.
56 · Nov 2020
when i grew younger
R L Nov 2020
when i was older,
i lived so free,
everybody told me,
life would attack me,
but i never felt it,
never did.
It was only when i grew younger,
when i realized
i wasn't the problem.
it was them.
I grew young,
and even younger,
my mind then hated me.
I hated me.
I missed being older.
56 · Nov 2020
i love when im hurt
R L Nov 2020
i may be fragile,
i may be lost,
but i love when i'm hurt,
no matter what it costs.
the pain is numbing,
and i feel no more,
so i let it stay,
just a minute more.
55 · Oct 2020
i’m invisible
R L Oct 2020
I talk to them
my words go through one ear
and out the other
I ask for help
But nobody’s near
They don’t bother
To ask me how I’m doing
And it’s clear
That nobody wants
To help me
I fear
That I’ll be forgotten
By my loved ones
The ones I hold close to my heart
the ones that are dear
I feel invisible sometimes, like people don’t care about me. It’s hard to deal with
55 · Dec 2020
hide my heart
R L Dec 2020
i didn't get to hide my heart,
before everyone saw it and took advantage of it
55 · Dec 2020
leaves
R L Dec 2020
the leaves change color,
they're tired of living,
once so green,
so full of color,
now on the ground,
crispy and duller.
55 · Dec 2020
healing
R L Dec 2020
i paint my canvas everyday,
i enlarge the painting,
so i can display,
the colors of me,
and the colors of my feelings,
i'll give myself
a moment for healing.
55 · Nov 2020
writings on the wall
R L Nov 2020
the writings on the wall,
to whom do i call?
i scribbled and wrote,
asleep then i awoke,
and i couldn't stop writing on the wall
55 · Nov 2020
your words
R L Nov 2020
Your words are left on the ground
Nobody cares about them
So I pick them up
And make meaning out of them
55 · Nov 2020
storm ⛈
R L Nov 2020
This storm is nothing but a drizzle
It seems like it’ll never end
But every storm ends
And the sun comes out
So keep your head up
Because that’s where the sun will be ☀️
54 · Nov 2020
truly me
R L Nov 2020
you say that love is unconditional,
but if you truly knew me,
you'd turn away
54 · Dec 2020
get to you
R L Dec 2020
you're like the ground my feet can't reach,
the never ending sea,
you're an inch away,
just an inch away,
but i can't seem to get to you.
53 · Dec 2020
the devil
R L Dec 2020
my magical lies,
and the fascinating cries,
i love seeing the pain,
in the bad people's eyes,
yes i'll hurt them bad,
and i'll hurt them real good,
i'll **** the ones who deserve it,
and the ones who know they should.
53 · Nov 2020
silent noise
R L Nov 2020
i could hear the silence in your voice,
it was like listening to silent music,
a beautiful oxymoron.
53 · Nov 2020
is it
R L Nov 2020
Is it really torture
If they deserved it?
53 · Nov 2020
murder scene
R L Nov 2020
I remember the devilish scent
of the blood on the grass
and the moonlight
shining through the window
The remarkably glowing body
and the knife stuck in his throat
53 · Dec 2020
rhythm
R L Dec 2020
i love rhythm,
whether it's music,
poetry,
or simple spoken words.

i'm good at surviving, but not living
53 · Dec 2020
mystery ocean
R L Dec 2020
plain aqua,
yet so full of life,
once the sun sets,
the ocean comes to life,
the chaos and beauty,
that the sea holds,
the ocean is a mystery,
with a story untold.
53 · Nov 2020
mad
R L Nov 2020
mad
the anger
it grew inside me like a forest fire
it took over
until i had no control
52 · Nov 2020
sleep
R L Nov 2020
sleep is a distraction and an alternative
for death,
it's simply an escape from life,
my problems,
so i don't have to deal with them for a while
52 · Dec 2020
move on
R L Dec 2020
can i shut our book closed?
can i end the story told?
can i start over with something new,
can i get over you?
52 · Dec 2020
time
R L Dec 2020
the moon is back,
and the clock resets,
the sun comes up,
and back down again,
time rewinds,
but we make use of it differently,
i'm still in yesterday,
and i'm living tomorrow happily.
51 · Dec 2020
power
R L Dec 2020
we all want power,
but we don't realize that power comes
from our words
51 · Nov 2020
river
R L Nov 2020
it looked like a normal river,
the water so clear,
no dirt near,
and the scent so fresh and clean.
Until we touched the water,
our hands started to bleed,
and the river
was made
of glass.
