McAllister : "Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams and I'll show you a happy man."

John Keating : "But only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'Twas always thus, and always thus will be."

McAllister : Tennyson?

John Keating : No, Keating.

i would read you all my poetry

spill my soul out for you

prick my fingers with a pen

and write with my blood and bruise

and i would give you all i had

just to watch you throw it all away

and i'd whisper "i'm sorry"

as i beg you to stay

-k.c.

I saw your face, but there are no butterflies in my stomach,

by laurenmaerie, ‘to keep a piece’

[poemsonmars]

tell me that you could

see yourself falling

in love with me again

and i will write you

a hundred poems

telling you how i never stopped.

how i tried but failed.

how i stopped trying so easily.

i never stopped writing

about you, either.

look closely, my love.

you can tell which poems

are about you. i all but

titled them with your name.

It Wasn’t You

It didn’t hurt because

you betrayed me, because you didn’t

It didn’t hurt because

it didn’t work, because when has it ever

It didn’t hurt because

my ego died a gruesome death, because it did

It didn’t hurt because

I cried quietly on the car ride home

Because I did cry, quietly, and to myself

It didn’t hurt because

Your name became a forever lodged bullet

in my never healing heart

It hurt

Because I wanted it to be you

I wanted it to be you

And it wasn’t

[sillypoetproject]

i’d let you ruin me

i’d let you tear me down and build me back up again however you see fit

i’d let you do whatever you desired

i just want to feel something

i just want to feel anything

please don’t leave

[words-never-spoken]

the words spiral

and wrap around my throat

they choke me to death

and my only thought

is to apologize

Dreams don't always work but that doesn't mean I do not deserve to dream.

Siren-Moon

The ocean reflects the pearl moon As the siren purrs her angelic tune.

She beckons you under the water— Take the hand of Poseidon’s daughter And melt into the glass sea; Allow the ocean to set you free— Free from death; free from pain; Free from life’s constant strain.

Let the water cradle your tired bones— Join her in the deepest unknowns.

-Poem by me! @xoluciferxo

reminding myself that we don't belong together, I know you're not the one
