(Poem) Black Heart

 
Heading back into my cave
Detoxing from my feelings
Keeping my thoughts to myself
I’ve become heartless
That heartless monster I said I’d never become

With not one ounce of care
My heart is black
Sitting in my cave
Rewinding back
Back to where my heart was black

They say listen to your heart
But my heart is black
Building my walls back up
Letting go of the feelings I once had

It’s not you, its me
I am darker then usual
Leaving everything behind
Trying this new wave
Hoping that I stop losing and finally win one

Realizing that no one is ever ready
Ima take a step back
            And let my heart become black

They brought me up
            To the point where I was the happiest
Then let me go
            Like I was a seasonal fixture

No longer in my feelings
I rather my heart be black
Black without a care in the world

I’m done chasing “what ifs”
            And I’m letting go of “what could be”
I’m done appreciating those
            Who don’t appreciate me
I’m done caring too much
            And being the old me
I’m overdosing on this “ I don’t give a fuck” mentality”

Losing friends along the way but
            I’m on this new wave
Gone with the wind
            I’ve become this heartless monster
Letting go of the old me
            And embracing the new

I’ve allowed my heart to become black
With not once ounce of care
I’ve become this black-hearted monster

(Poem) Her

 
I told her, thank you
For just being her
The her of my dreams
The her I can feel comfortable with
The her that’s in my thinking thoughts

Not the her that’s an object
But the her that’s whole presence makes me smile
The her that is perfectly imperfect
The her that gave me the chance to be me

Cupid finally listened to this hopeless romantic
Letting me do me, and finally find her
You know her . . . the her of my dreams

Not the her that’s only here for a season
But the her that wants to go the distance
The her that accepts my flaws and my addictions
The her that I appreciate more then the stars in the sky

No longer stuck in an endless loop of confusion
Because her actions give me reason not to
Trusting her with all of me
Because her hands wont let me go.

If I had a her
I would tell her, thank you
For just being her
The her of my dreams
