I've grown into the type of person that says "I will go on with or without you."
Into a person that loses people left and right, but knows that as long as I have myself everything will be alright.
So, why is it I still check everyday for your response?

Guilt and its grave cousin shame
a heavy gnarled ball and chain
on my ankle, holding me back
sinking me into bloodthirsty black.

The world is a backwards place,
Sometimes it seems there is not enough space,
For all of humanity to run a race,
Oh how we've fallen in this case...
But back again we stand,
For such is human nature to demand.
Maha Jan 2020
I don't know
If my answer will always be
That I'm afraid of thinking about
Is it safe to say,
you should read this one backwards too. It's a conversation between two people.

Take the time
To be better then fine

Be happy and content
Doing saddest with intent

Play with the rainbows
Bend over backwards
Colm Jan 2020
Until the stars crash, the clouds wave back with whisking foam. Twinking, glowing, black with morning dew to greet this coming you alive.

Until affections rise in reflective ways, as moon and stars unite, with pinions that of a lovers embrace.

To stay, I must until such heaven returns, and reunites with soul to be, believed. Know that I want to, but for me. I will only think of you beneath walking trees, with thoughts small as bugs beneath celestial day. In my own time and wantingly, quietly way.
Seeing Backwards
I fall down.
Into the Depths of Hell
My fate said to be justified
I found myself locked
In the chains of torment.
The truth came to light
Thus
I was repaid. Because
Missing a few debts
Karma found me
This is the way that
Justice was given to
Those who were right
Blessed and grateful
Towards the haven of heaven
I rise up.
This is my first attempt at a reverse poem. I'm not exactly sure if it works but it made me as proud as heck for what I did.

When you first fall
It's the puppy love phase
Everyone wears their finery
After a time comfort sets in
The beasts come out to play

We were always backwards
We were monsters from the start
Comfortable and raw
Flaws worn proudly
Unabashedly ourselves

For us, the puppy love came after
After the fighting
After the break up
After the hatred
After the reunion
How did we go through love
Backwards?

It's time
The clock is ticking
I've never worried before
It's ticking backwards
It's here
Time gives birth to  time
Can time be forgiven

Do you TIME?
Lia Nov 2019
Dust filters through their fingers,
each grain slowly slipping away.

Pushing forwards
And feeling the strong repel of backwards.

All that remains now are the ashes
of the dreams that you let die.
