“A light shone in the distance,

As it neared my pedestal

I felt its warmth

I saw its smile

I heard its laugh,

Except it got closer

It got too hot

Its smile was too wide

Its laugh had other plans.”

“Truth or dare

I like your hair

Mr. Carrottop

Here’s a red rose

Let’s see where this goes

Mr. Carrottop

Eyes blue

I love you too

Mr. Carrottop

Blast that country music

You got me humming to myself again

Now I wanna sing with you

Mr. Carrottop

Slow dancing in the sun

Leaves running ‘round our feet

The wind singing just for us

Mr. Carrottop.”

- A.P. “Mr. Carrottop”

“You’re the kind of guy they write about in

books

poetry

and

music,

and honestly,

genuinely,

I’ve read about thousands of people

I’ve read about so many stories

I’ve been on a lot of adventures in my time, but I think I’m about to have a favorite.”

“We met at dusk

When the sun and moon swap

You saw me

You came to me

You spoke to me

And even when I used the sky

And her dark shades of blue

Like a cloak

You tugged on it gently and said

‘It’s going to be okay’

‘You can take off the cloak’

You held out your hand

And helped me step off the stars

I used as stepping stones

And you said

‘Run with me’

So I took your hand

And for the first time in months

I felt so free.”

-A.P. “A Taste of Freedom”

“Scrolling through old texts

And emails

And messages

And letters

From four years ago

And I wonder

If this is what lovesickness feels like,

Despair

Longing

Regret

Second thoughts

And

Anxiety

All snuggled in the pit of my stomach

Just for you

And your stupid leather jacket.”

- A.P. “Lovesick”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“Wanna get milkshakes

And lie in the sun

On the hill?

Wanna do homework together

In the library?

Wanna go out to the city

And explore this new area?

Wanna dress up all fancy

And pretend we’re Hollywood elite?

Wanna see each other every day

For the rest of our lives?

‘Cause I do.”

- A.P. “I Do.”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“And in my mind we dance

Twirling and spinning and gliding

Surrounded by books

And in my mind I pick flowers

On my way to give to you

Twice a week

And in my mind

We use the moon like an umbrella

To hide from allegations

And in my mind

It’s perfect.”

-A.P. “In My Mind”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“I don’t sleep in my own bed

On the weekends,

Oh but I wish it was yours

It’s never yours

And I fear it never will be.”

-A.P. “Weekend Wishes”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“Sometimes we say

I will never regret you

As our way of saying

I love you.”

-A.P. “August”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“The little blue cat

Sitting on your shoulder

He glances at me beside you

Sitting in the blue chairs

Among the books

I can feel it,

The danger

The joy

The fear

The hope

Next to you

But I wonder so many times

Throughout the days

The weeks

Do you feel it too?”

-A.P. “Dangerous Hope”

“I’m begging you understand

There’s nothing I want more

Than to give everything I have

All my words

All my thoughts

All my time

All my attention

To you

I just can’t,

It simply isn’t possible to do

And I’m paralyzed

By this everlasting, never ending,

All-consuming, invasive

Fear

I’m begging you understand

I am not physically able to speak

Type

Mime these feelings for you

These carefully curated feelings

For you

Harboured for six years

Locked in my head,

But they’re back

And I’m afraid

I’m afraid because I’m stuck

Between loving you

With everything in me

Or

Leaving everything

Leaving everyone

Leaving myself

To rebuild myself

Out of the millions of broken pieces

Left on the ground

Scattered ‘round my shackled limbs

The now warm metal from the heat

Of my sweaty wrists and ankles

Held captive to myself

Held at gunpoint by the mirrors

Broken and taped together

On the walls around me

But I stare at the dirt

The blood

And the cracks

On the floor

Beneath my trembling body

Not at the mirrors

Illuminated by my own hopes

Not at my past

Darkened by self-discovery

Not at you

Never at you

If I looked at you

I have to admit it

I can never admit it

It has to die with me

I’m begging you understand

Something I can never

Never let you have

Never let you know

Never let you see

Never let you hear

Ever.”

-A.P. “It Dies With Me”

NOTE: Sorry this one is kind of long, it’s been a day.

“I wish you knew

But I wouldn’t wish that knowledge

Even on the man I hate most

I wish you understood

But I can’t let you hurt the way I hurt

I wish you could see it

But I hope you stay blind to it

I yearn for the day you apologize

But I know it won’t come

Until I’m six feet underground.”

-A.P. “Midnight Suffering”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“She wore the night like a cloak

Walking on the stars

To hide her footprints

From the boy

Who wore the day like the lie he told

Every time he saw her face

When they would lock eyes

Twice daily

Hers lit up golden

Reflection clear and shining

Within his grey clouds

And he would tell her

“I love you” in the way he looked

Through the shape of the puffy grey

But she never saw

For she was too busy

Littering the deep blue world

With her dancing footsteps

In the stars

While he remains still

Carefully carving out his love for her

She never noticed

And he never cared

He would do it for her anyway

Because one day she would see

At least he hoped

But she never saw

Too busy dancing too quickly

To see anyone but herself.”

-A.P. “Her With Him”

[anonymouspoetry47]

“When you told me I couldn’t act,

That’s when I knew

When you told me I wasn’t capable,

That’s when I knew

When you told me this simple request of learning a skill was too dangerous,

That’s when I knew

When you never questioned it,

When you told me you never believed what they said about me,

When you proved I wasn’t a priority anymore,

That’s when I knew I did it right.”

-A.P. “That’s When”
