Green Eyes

So sweet

So kind

So funny

So smart

----

Why does he insist on hiding it all?

To keep the approval of his friends

I suppose

---------

Those green eyes

Show so much more

Than what everybody else sees

He's...

Hiding behind a curtain

---------

Everyone else

Doesn't even think of what the future holds

He's different

How did I not see it until now?

---------

That sense of humor

That laugh

And oh my God

Those arms

----

I left behind hazel

For those green eyes

[theskywasgolden]

Dreams

Dreaming

Better than being awake

The world where everything is perfect

------

Dreaming

Where the boy you love finally notices you

Where you meet your hero

Where you get lost in the deepest desires of your heart

------------

Dreaming

But when reality checks back in

When you realize it's all a dream

None of was true

-------

Dreaming

Silent tears running down your face

Lying there

Wishing more than anything

That your dreams were reality

------

Putting hope into your imagination

Sad

But true

Dreams

I wish I could stay in them forever

----------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Sleep

Eyes drooping

Tired as fuck

Want to go to bed

But Ksenia won't answer that message.

----------------------------------

JUST KIDDING, ACTUAL POEM NOW COMING UP

---------------------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Pause

If only

I could pause life

Stop a moment

And keep the world from turning

----

I could live in one moment forever

Forget the past

Forget the future

Live in the moment

When I'm happiest

-----

I could stop something terrible

Stop a fire

Stop a kid from scraping his knee

Prevent a death

A suicide

A murder

-------

Or

I could observe

Look at humanity

From a different perspective

See the world for what is

Along the way

All because of a pause

-------------------------------

3,000 Miles Is A Long Way

The one

Whose always falling for the boy with the microphone

Dreaming of boys

That she's never met

----

The one

Whose running through the hallways

Dreaming of being a street drummer

Facing problems

She shouldn't have to face

-----

Me

Getting lost in the hearts and minds

Of those

That don't even exist

Figments of someone else's imagination

------

This is us

Who we are

And we all miss her

----

Her 

The one who laughed at our antics

Our obsessions

Appreciated our jokes

Supported our dreams

Caused our smiles

---

But she's gone

3,000 miles is a long way

------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Painted

Painted

Painted in primary colors

Rather than Earth tones

The ones of the ground

Perhaps the colors of the sky

Or maybe even the stars

----

Painted

Painted in the colors of the wind

Flowing and growing

Ever-changing

Never coming back

-----

Painted

Painted black and white

So important and sure

Always the same

Never confronted and never wanting to be

Merely there as a constant

-----

Painted black and white

But what about the gray in between?

-------------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Time

Time

Time is

Of the essence

Is money

Is running out

Is on my side

----

How to describe time?

Constricting our lives into slots

Or

The glue that holds us together?

-----

Seconds

Minutes

Hours

Days

----

A life measured in time

But perhaps not

Maybe 

Life isn't measured in time

Maybe

It is measured in moments

Moments

That come and go as they please

----

No one can control moments

They run to the stars

They dance to the sounds of a heartbeat

They run

Farther away than we ever could

---------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Jam (dedicated to my best friend)

No one listens

No one really cares

They don't know how it feels

To be alone

To have an empty space

----

But she

She understands

She knows

----

To tell someone so much

To show them your heart

Your soul

Your mind

Your skin

Your bones

-----

She's everything

She's perfection

She's courage

She's waking up on Saturdays

She's a candle in the darkness

She's the greatest star in the sky

She fills the empty space

----

But

She doesn't see it

Never

Never the way I see her

I really wish she would

----

She's seems timid

But I knows she's strong

She just needs to believe 

That she can change a heart

----

For what goes better with toast

Than a little bit of jam?

-------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

The Way Home

Everything

Turns 

Bad

One way or another

Everything is lost

----

Whatever has ever been gained

Taken from you

And you're holding on to nothing

But the emptiness 

That used to be filled

---

Why try?

There isn't a point

There's no method to the madness

Only cruelty

----

But somewhere deep inside

Something tells me to move forward

Move back

Stay here

Be here

Move on

Take the way back home

---------------------

Who Loves A Boy

His eyes

So Bright

That smile

It shines like the Sun

---

His arms hold me tight

When everything seems lost

---

His lips

So soft

Against mine

As he quickly says hello

---

Those moments

When I know

I'll marry him

---

But will I be able to?

Life is difficult

It certainly is

For a boy

Who loves a boy

-----------------

*side note, not my perspective for once*

**gay teen if you didn't notice**

[theskywasgolden]

Sydney

She likes to know 

That people depend

On her approval

That she can cut them down 

With a single blow

---

To know 

That she has the world on a string

Everyone chases her

Her and her beauty

Begging for her attention

---

Perfection

Is what everyone sees

She is beautiful

The prettiest girl I know

---

But

I see a scared girl

Who doesn't know how to be alone

Who needs others to feel her pain

Somewhere 

She knows it

---

They're wrapped around her finger

And she just wants to be held

----------------

[theskywasgolden]

When I Die

When I die

I know

Foolish to be thinking this already

I know I'm young

----

Young

But already wanting be remembered

Never forgotten

-----

Remembered

Maybe not remembered

Perhaps

To know that I left a mark

-----

I think that's it

I want to leave a mark

Maybe even

Change someone's mind

-----

I might be forgotten

When I die

But I want to make a difference

Change a heart

Open a door

-----------------------------------

[theskywasgolden]

Stars: A Haiku

Stars light up the night

Making us seem so very small

To wish upon a light

[theskywasgolden]

Would It Be So Difficult?

With a smile so real

And laughter so true

Could it be

That he loves me too?

---

I know he cares

I see him glance

Would it be so difficult

To ask me to dance?

---

It is not how he feels

But how he thinks

That is keeping him from washing his fears

Right down the sink

---

He fears the thoughts

Of his peers and his friends

If only he would stick with me

Until the end

---

I know he cares

I see him glance

Would it be so difficult

To ask me to dance?

---

To feel his arms around me

So strong and sure

Really must be

The only cure

---

A small crush, you say?

For one so young

Then why does his smile

Make me feel like the sun?

---

I know he cares

I see him glance

Would it be so difficult

To ask me to dance?

---

I hold onto this dream so tight

Hoping

For someday

With all of my might

---

I may be naive

I may be young

But that doesn't stop my heartstrings

from being strung

---

I know he loves me

And I know he's scared

Too scared to take a chance

But there's a time

When every boy

Must ask a girl to dance
