#ugh poetry i love you

[lemongogo]

why do i love the conflict more than anything else . the misery . the incompatibility that spreads like oil slick . wanting so desperately for resolution that never comes . hmmm

Tech likes the rain on Pabu. Phee hates it.

Tech likes the stimulation of rain on his back and the sounds of the showers as he stands in potentially torrential rain for hours. Its peaceful, it quiets his mind in a way that's unusual. It feels like home.

Phee hates the bitter cold that bites her when she stands in the rain too long. The lingering draft that comes with the rain is frustrating, and she can't stand the standstill she comes to when it rains.

Yet, Phee always welcomes Tech back when he's sopping from the downpour.

She always chides, quips about the flu he's sure to catch after hours of just standing there. Tech always offers for her to join him. Phee prefers the warmth of the house.

She prefers the fluffy towels she always has ready to dry him off, prefers the comfort of the pyjamas she wrestles them both into. Tech knows better than to object.

Phee prefers the soft moments when, after the rain lulls to a quiet, when the storm finally calms, when they're curled up together under the sheets.

Tech can't decide which he loves more. The familiar cold of the rain, or the new warmth of Phee's arms wrapped around him, easing him into the best sleep he'll ever have.

Tech loves the rain on Pabu. Phee loves the calm that follows.

what I would have said

Since I never got to say goodbye, here is what I would have said...

I will love you till the day I die and even beyond that. I was so lucky to have you in my life. But I am sad... devastated. My whole life is thrown upside down. you never said bye. you never gave me an explanation. I feel numb, lost, and so confused. I feel worthless. Why would you do this to me? How did I deserve this? Where did you go? Please, oh please, come back to me. Love me again.

If you won't come back, then please know this: I forgive you. All I want is for you to be happy, even if that's not with me. I love you dearly.

Goodbye.

I wanna write poetry but it's always about insanity and trauma and I don't wanna write about that anymore i don't caaaaaare why do I keep doing that

[dullweapons]

thinking about how ray loves : he loves so passionately but lovingly . bloody hands that carefully hold yours as if you could shatter in them if he breathes too harshly . he’ll carry you when your body tires & wrap you in comfort . he’ll brush away strands of hair from you face & tell you he sees stars in your eyes & moonlight lingers on your hair when he looks at you . he’ll whisper your name for all eternity like a pray to gods .

but when you love him it’s violent . a knife into his abdomen , twisted in his muscles . his blood pours onto you so freely : it feels like he’s opening his walls at the point of your dagger . you’ve nestled a blade near his heart & when he begins to fear for his life he knows you love him . he’ll let you gut him because that means you love him . that you truly want him , in all of his madness he feels that the love you give him is like ripping out his beating heart & show it to him ; telling him “ you have one too . “

Inspired by this song:

[beyond-the-raining-field]

All I want is to be in bed, utterly exhausted from the day, and to be able to lay with the love of my life, skin to skin, as our legs are a jumbled mess, arms resting on the others hips, my head resting on them. Maybe even a kiss on the head, then another one on my forehead then my cheek, then my lips.

[setmeatopthepyre]

You were a king and his castle, I was every dirty rascal If you asked me for my lighter, mate, I gave you my fire I'd call as you climbed And I'd catch you every time you fell

'Cause I will suffer silence for the strings you tune And I'll withstand what's written for the writer in you Write me well, my love, write me weird Write me willing, write me well

If I wanted, I'd only give you myself physically and satiate our infectious desires.

But alas, I ache for love feverishly, so I gave you my heart laid upon a silver platter.

𝐫𝐞𝐪·𝐮𝐢·𝐞𝐦 || 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐

noun · an act or token of remembrance

“she wrote the requiem as a way to let go. as a way to remember how it would be if she ever told her. guess it didn't really work, though, because she just fell deeper in love”

(an aromantic love letter to my best friend)

𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 ��𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧? '𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐲?

I told you that I was aromantic. I told all of you, and you were the only one who took me seriously. And I'm starting to think that you're ace, too, like me. And you gave me that ring, the one that matched with yours. And you're the only one who understands when I'm being a nerd, and the only one that understood how I felt when our friends were simping over slightly concerning guys.

𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞

They all know, I think, that I favor you over them. And every time they mention it, you just giggle. You giggle and it's the cutest thing but obviously...I can't say that. Because then what would you think of me? But I can't be upset. Because my kind of love is different. Because you'd never take it seriously, because you're probably straight, because you'd never talk to me the same way again. Because I love you too much to let you see how much you're hurting me. And it's not even your fault.

𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 (𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞?) '𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞

I wanna let you in. I wanna figure all this out with you. I want you to be there to help me through it, I want you to be happy, I don't want to lose you. And that's why I could never tell you. Because I don't want to lose seven years of friendship, because I don't want to throw away what we already have, because if I told you...you'd never see me the same way again. So I'll keep it in.

𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞? 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐩 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞

And I think it's easier, because unlike you-know-who I won't blush every single time you complement me. We'll go to her wedding in sweats, like we'd jokingly planned. I'll keep everything in. I think it'll be easier, because it's not romantic. Because I don't want to kiss you. I don't want to do all the things couples do in the dark. I want to hug you, I want to tell you how much I love you, I want you to know that kind of love I have for you even though it might not be the love they'd all expect.

𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞

Which is why I wish he didn't have to do that. Didn't have to remember you. Didn't have to make me regret not telling you.

I'm fine. I'm definitely fine. Because a guy decided he liked you, and hey, I don't like you the way he does. Because the way I like you is different, and yes, I've kept it in for all this time. But I've dealt with heartbreak before. I'll be fine.

𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 (𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞?) '𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨��� 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞

God, if he turns out to be a creep, or a jerk, or possessive...I don't know what I'll do. Because I love you too much to not let you end up with him. I'll hate myself. Every moment that you might share with him, every single possibility breaks my heart a little bit more.

𝐎𝐡, 𝐝𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞? 𝐃𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞? 𝐃𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞? 𝐃𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫

Because you make me feel safe. Because you make me happy. Because I love you, so so much. So I'll listen when you talk about that guy who's mom set you two up. I'll be there to punch the idiots who make you uncomfortble. I'll hug you when you're sad, laugh when you're happy, smile when you decide that we should get into crazy shenanigans together.

𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞

I'll do this because I love you. I'll move on because you're my best friend.

𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 (𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞?) '𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡

And who knows? Maybe I'll get over you. Maybe I'll tell you one day in the very distant future. Maybe I'll punch the guy who asked you out in the face. I don't know.

𝐎𝐡 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐨 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞

But god, do I wish that it was me instead of him.

Oh, to have a love that infatuates you so deep to the core. A love that has you captivated years later. Love? Lust? Just reminiscing? I find myself revisiting those movie like moments more frequently and wonder why you? I wonder if you ever think of me like I still think of you. When you reached out and grabbed my hand as we walked through your garden. Jumping on the trampoline together. Our fingers intertwined walking across the street among busy traffic. Passionate kissing on the half pipe late at night with a park full of people. The sunset hues against your skin while you drive down rodeo drive. Palm trees lined up along the street as we walk down hand in hand together. That fall night when we hugged goodbye and I told you I loved you and I think you might have said it back. I wish I wasn’t such a idiot, I wish I didn’t get so nervous. All the mistakes I made when I still had you in my life, i think back and wish I handled it differently. So many things. I still wonder to this day why do I think of you so much. I can’t help but think what if you think of me too? A part of me hopes that one day I could be my pure self around you but I’m too scared you might hate me now. Hoping that maybe you search for me in little things like I do for you. Im not sure if I pick up on signs from you somehow. Car vanity plates that have your first and last name. Remembering that you don’t like cheese and making myself eat it less or try not like it at least. remembering your birthday every year. Getting creative and making art only for your attention. So many memories that come alive in my brain. I’m not sure…

I hate you, I hate you

I hate you for knowing better

I hate you for not stopping me

I hate you for choosing this timeline

I hate you, I hate you

I hate you for caring your way

I hate you for letting me make mistakes

I hate you for being more than I bargained for

I hate you, I hate you

I hate you for all this frustration

I hate you for your demonstration

I hate you for my imagination

I hate you, I hate you

I shouldn't still want you

I Hate You (Could You Hate Me Too?)

"They woke again at seven, stupid with love Everything they knew – the brightest stars, Sirius, Canopus Alpha Centauri, Vega; the Roman Emperors, Claudius Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius; musical terms, allegro, calando Crescendo, glissando; mathematics, the value of pi Prime numbers, Cantor’s infinities – only a jumble of words, only a jumble of words."

[poetic-academic-shit]

I'll have you with broken down walls

Not climbing over not risking the fall

Not waiting for your shit to get sorted

Seasons change and people go

If you want me to stay let me know

Because it was never unimportant

So you can embrace your tragic life

Nobody would claim your living a lie

Or you could take off the glove

Fall with me into an simple love

by me
