i was the flower you planted into the ground,

fresh from a seed, held in your hand, piled into a mound.

the seed packet was full of mixed flowers,

so my identity would be unknown until it showers.

you watered me with words and affection,

and with the ground, my roots made a connection.

you helped me to grow and gave me what i required,

but i was not the rose your heart desired.

instead i grew to be dull and boring,

nothing worth adoring.

you expected me to be a rose of red,

but i was a daisy, about to be left for dead.

the next day you replanted a new packet of seeds,

and decided to ignore my needs.

outgrew from those seeds was a red rose,

and i knew you would leave me to decompose.

you appreciated her scent and beauty,

but you treated me with cruelty.

you ripped me off the ground from which i grew,

and threw me somewhere anew.

slowly i became weakened and withered,

and on this new ground i lingered.

soon to be found by another,

turned into a bouquet given to their lover.

for once i felt loved and cherished,

no longer left to perish.

unlike your rose, who you’ll soon disown,

i know i will never be left alone.

this is a shitty poem about you.

it doesn’t make sense,

but apparently neither did you.

because you were so dense,

but that’s what makes you, you.

and i’m sorry if this is too intense,

i’m just stating what’s true.

and in my defence,

i’m just one of the things you outgrew.

if love is real

i hope it lingers

but that isn’t the deal

and i wish we were strangers

you said to the moon and back

but you didn’t mean it

you never mean it

you just said it to make me happy

because you’re such a people pleaser

love feels like being stuck on a mountain

there’s no where else to go

and i’m scared to fall

star in the sky

she wanted to be a star in the sky

she wanted to be the brightest

so, I said her eyes were the brightest star I’ve ever seen

“Even brighter than the sun?” she asked

and I always replied with “yes”

but soon she became the brightest star in the sky

sweet like honey

sour like lemons

spicy like cinnamon

salty like the sea

a simple kiss is sometimes all thats needed

a kiss on the cheek to say hello

a kiss on the forehead to say goodbye

a kiss on the hand to show respect

a kiss on the lips to say i love you

a kiss on the neck to say i want you

this simple gesture is seen as sweet nothings

but it shows how love can be sealed with a kiss

in your eyes i see stars

in your freckles i see constellations

in your smile i see a celestial gleam

in your words i hear a supernova

in our love i feel sparks

our love is stellar darling

and you are astronomical

sometimes i think of faking my own death

so i can drive away with you

leaving this blue neighbourhood

creating happier memories

with loud music and new highs

take walks when the sun sets and rises

and feel that old fashioned love

that died in our past lives

years from now

what seems like forever

we will look back and question

how did we know what felt right?

you were in denial

building up a wall of anger

yet at the same time you were bargaining

for something that could not be

and the depression would weep from your eyes

but you hid it with the acceptance

that escapes your lips

if i wrote poetry on how much i thought of you

it’d be like a hate song

that doesn’t rhyme

perhaps i love you

perhaps i don’t

but like a broken record on repeat

my nights are spent sleepless thinking about you

poetry to me is a place

a place where inner thoughts can speak

unleashing complete and utter chaos

as it all spills out onto the pages

like blood pouring from an open wound

but it’s ink on paper

waiting to be read

outloud

lavender scented pillows

cotton sheets

and light rain tapping the glass

as i lay in bed

wearing your sweater

stained with my tears

i was the flower you planted into the ground

my roots sprouting and becoming a spangled mess as we connected

your words and affection watered me

helped me to grow and become the rose your heart desired

you said i was the prettiest

my petals soft and delicate

with a fragant scent

and a bright colour

but now you pulled me out

ripping me from the earth i grew on

and i could no longer grow

as you watched me wilt

into a greying decay

i became weakened and withered

the roots that once held me fainted as it sunk down the soil further away from me

this damage could not be repaired

but you didn’t care

for there was another flower

much prettier than i

that one’s scent in your presence

and it’s roots now mingled with yours

you will then forget about me

and soon you’ll rip out the new flower

so you can find another
