I Write Poetry

Nothing and Stars

Shutting out light
Opening
Is this death?

Dragging dead weight
Walking
Is this the end?

Deafening to birdsong
Seeing
Is this unbeing?

Wrapped up like a corpse
Peel back the layers
To the void inside
Nothing. Never. Nowhere.

Scribbling unreachable lines
Confusing
Is this alone?

Sickening from hunger
Bloated
Is this nourished soul?

Dying into darkness
Closing
Is this dead?

Suffocated like a life
Slice away the scars
Burn nothing into dust
Stars. Stars. Stars.

"Omfg! You found it!"

You: 🤔
"Found what?"

"The Key to my heart!"

Because you write like I write, with your soul.💞

@MayaHope
"Talking to Angels,
Counting the stars,
Making a wish
On passing cars..."

You always seem so relentlessly hopeful, what’s the secret? @Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@MayaHope Hopeless Romantic 🤔🤪🤭💞
And full of confidence.🤫
Too full 🤪

MayaHope · 41-45, F

Oh and I thought you were hopeful not hopeless lol!
The only words I can romance lately are those that linger in shadows @Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@MayaHope But in the shadows,
No one can see you cry 🤗💞

MayaHope · 41-45, F

No one really wants to see you cry 😓@Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@MayaHope Not that the tears ruin your make up, stain your dress,
No, that's no reason.
But to bare your emotions...
You cannot hide, what I can truly see.

MayaHope · 41-45, F

Lol @ the make up, no make up here to smudge! I’ve learned to cry in private mostly.

You just drag everyone down otherwise and it ruins relationships @Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@MayaHope It brings me closer...

MayaHope · 41-45, F

Oh it gets tired. And tiring! @Montanaman

Montanaman · M

@MayaHope Constant. I can imagine.😔🤗🤗
