DramaQueen Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Hey! I've been writing a lot of poetry and music stuff lately, so I figured I'd share some of it :)) Promises (written more than two years ago) Spoiler If I told you I promised I’d always love you Would you return the words and say you love me too? And would you promise to stay by my side, Never alone, with me ‘till we died? Would you promise anything, or are you too afraid Of being bound by all the promises you made? You long to be free, flying high through your life. Would I tie you down by becoming your wife? You’d be linked to me, two birds chained together, Always by my side, always and forever. A promise is kept, and if it is broken, It scars your soul, you’re fin'lly awoken From the dreams you had, the dreams you dreamed, You’ll find your life to be sadder than it seemed Flying free sounds beautiful, it’s what you always wanted. But if you fly alone, the freedom will be haunted. You say you love me, I know it to be true Otherwise why would I be here with you? I have dreams too, things I want to be, But I would like to be them with you right next to me. What are dreams if they’re not shared, What are vulnerabilities if they’re never bared? If someone knows your weaknesses, they’ll show you your strengths That might defeat those weaknesses, length by length by length. Live my dreams with me, I’ll live your dreams with you, And though I can’t promise life will never be blue, I can promise I’ll be there if things go south, All I ask from you is two words from your mouth. “I promise” is all I ask, two words that mean so much Those two words, and if we break, we’ll be each other's crutch. We can fly together, the chain holding us side by side Will never cause an issue if we put it there with pride. We’ll build that chain, link by link, completely willingly, Then fly through life, fly away, fly so thrillingly. So say those words, I beg of you, I ask of you, I plead, For, my love, your promise is all I’ll ever need. I’ll sign a contract, join our lives, I’ll use my blood as ink, To prove that ours is a boat we'll never ever sink. You’ll be free, but not alone, we’ll be free as one, Knowing that our life together has scarcely begun. Will you fly with me? Promise me? Be with me? Because you know, I will. I do. I’ll go. Made to Hurt (2 years ago) Spoiler I'm broken I'm bleeding I'm falling apart I'm broken I'm I'm broken You have destroyed me Crushed by your words Crushed by your lack of love I thought you cared. You said you'd be there. But now You're gone But it's fine I'm fine Yeah I'm broken but it's fine Don't mind me, I annoy you anyway And I really don't have anything to say Nothing that matters Nothing but the pitter patter Of my heart racing Only you My thoughts gracing. I may have a feeling of loneliness and loss Unrealistic expectations with a mighty cost I want to be heard, want someone to care Someone who wants our lives to share But me being me, it's a hopeless case A fact that I can't quite bring myself to face You are you And I am me I suppose I may never see A day where I find real comfort I was merely made to hurt Not Lit (2 years ago) Spoiler I know that I hurt, and that's it I feel like ev'rything's been hit I'm in much distress An emotional mess My life right now is not lit Contradictions (2 years ago) Spoiler Uncertainty is certain. The inability to count on anything is always to be counted on. Feeling lost is always found. Impossibility is possible. Hope (2 years ago) Spoiler I felt all kinds of sorrow No happiness could I borrow I feel so pained The terror reigned I have no hope for tomorrow. Drown (2 years ago) Spoiler I feel broken I feel like I need to cry But my tears are dry They refuse to flow They're stuck in the dark hollows of my once-bright eyes. I'm in pain, but it's not physical My heart aches, a feeling I didn't know 'til now. My voice breaks with emotion that refuses to show on my face The tears must be flooding my mind Because I feel like I'm drowning I can't come up for air Because my painful emotions weigh me down As I drown I drown... Drown. Dragon Lullaby (under two years ago) Spoiler In the land of ice and fire The power of desire Grows strong and weak, Bold and meek, Where strange events transpire The creatures of fire and ice Before you know the price Will draw you in Adventure begins More chance than a roll of the dice Ice and fire cover the land Impossible to understand But find the dragons, Follow their passions, Then all the pain withstand They said the skies won't be ours That we cannot go that far But on dragon wings We'll share vows and rings Then write ourselves in the stars Depend On You (...year and a half? Ish?) Spoiler A house needs a foundation A tree can't grow without its roots The earth supports a mountain And I could never live without you. Cause I depend on you And you know that if you need, You can depend on me, too. Defied (also year and a halfish?) Spoiler Take it in stride, Not giving up, throwing away my pride I'll come right out the other side Cuz way back when, those tears I cried Come back to now, those tears have dried And I'm stronger now, roll with the tide No I won't be defied Love? (Yearish ago) Spoiler How do you love me? What do you mean When you say those words? Tell me the truth Even if one of us ends up hurt What if I don't love you the same way That you love me When you tell me you love me at the end of each day What do you mean? Dino Poem (Maybe a bit over a year ago) Spoiler Diplodocus plods along Pterodactyl's terrific in flight Stegosaurus is sweet but strong And T-Rex is all ready to fight Velociraptor is small and fast Plesiosaur swims, small tail, long neck Parasaurolophus' head thing is vast And Triceratops is cool as heck Pachisepholosaurus Certainly lives up to its name All the dinosaurs that came before us Deserve tons upon tons of fame Voyage (little over a year again) Spoiler You voyage into the bright light of day And long to reach that ne'er before sought land Where bare a touch, and there you'll always stay And there your thoughts and dreams fore'er expand It can't be found on map, but in your mind The way grows clear, you know where you must go You travel through all things, and then you find A place wherein all things you somehow know A place where those you love are always near A place where pain and guilt refuse to be A place where you no longer feel fear And in this place, you'll fin'lly be with me Come taste my sweet, intoxicating breath Come have a taste of what they all call Death Good In Me (pretty recent, end of March) Spoiler I don't like my hands I don't like my nose I don't like my chin Or my eyes, my feet, my toes. There are days when I wish my body was shaped differently But you help me see the good in me Ocean (written yesterday) (tw mostly vague mentions of abuse) (not based on true events) Spoiler I am the ocean You are the sand You think you're the strong one But I'll take command I am the ocean You are the stone I break against you But I'll break down your throne I am the ocean You are the rocks You try to chain me But I'll break through the locks I am the ocean You're acting smug As you pull me in, Force me into a hug I am the ocean You think it's bliss But my life flows away When I feel your kiss I am the ocean You're kissing my corpse But the tide will come back And you'll feel my force That's all for now, I tried to keep them all fairly in order of when they were written. I'll post more when I write them, or when I find old ones that I want to share. Edited April 15, 2023 by DramaQueen 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DramaQueen Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Damsel In Distress (One year/a year and a half ago) Spoiler I'll tell you a tale Of a time long past A tale of adventure That couldn't last The damsel in distress She alone felt the dragon's breath She dreamed of a prince To win her heart But sigh as she might No one played that part The damsel in distress She alone felt the dragon's breath For years she waited But no one came She saved herself But died from shame The damsel in distress She alone felt the dragon's breath She sold her soul To be set free She lost herself But gained the key The damsel in distress She alone felt the dragon's breath She alone felt the dragon's breath 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Bronze (idek, like three years ago?) Spoiler VERSE I remember Times when we were golden I'd see your face and smile The smile still finds it's way But it's bronze instead of gold And has been for a while I remember Times when we were silver The stars would light your face The stars still shine as bright But yours is a different light The silver's been replaced CHORUS By bronze Still shining but not as bright We're bronze Still beautiful but not quite right Not gold, not silver We're bronze VERSE I remember Time spent out with friends All golden and together Their lives still remain gold But ours is growing cold It couldn't last forever I remember Times when we were children Pretending to find treasure Those dreams had gold and silver But we never once considered Finding bronze, no sir CHORUS But we're bronze Still shining but not as bright We're bronze Still beautiful but not quite right Not gold, not silver We're bronze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth and Dare (this one is very much a WIP, I had an idea and kinda just wrote down whatever lines came to mind, so they're scrambled and there is no format whatsoever, enjoy :P) Spoiler There'll always be things about you that I haven't learned And I still won't learn them all when all the pages are turned Oh I can't wait to meet you every day Oh I can't wait to grow with you and watch you change I'll get to know you every day Every day, tell me a truth about you And I'll dare to dream that I'll learn something new Dare to tell me your truth I'll dare to tell you mine too I can't wait to wake by your side Roll over, and look in your eyes And say "It's so nice to meet you today I can't wait to get to know how you've changed" But despite all the changes we'll make There's one thing that will always stay I know it sounds sappy, I know it sounds strange But I know that I love you; I know that won't change Tell me your truth if you dare You know that I'll always care I'll dare to tell you my truth I'll give you all of my proof Like a game of truth and dare Edited August 13, 2023 by DramaQueen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted August 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Sonnet of the Stars Spoiler Come dance with me among the stars so bright One with the constellations o’er the earth The comets, planets, you and me in flight As if we are amidst our own rebirth Your fears at long long last may be relieved Stretch forth your hand and clasp in it my own Remove your helmet, I can help you breathe Let empty space now chill you to the bone One kiss and you will live and love like me A being, essence, presence of the stars Everywhere and nowhere; finally free Everywhere and nowhere; finally ours You fade away to nothingness and yet The nothingness is still the most you’ll get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted August 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 [Untitled] (TW sexual abuse and suicide - not based off of anything that I personally have experienced, it's really dark and idek why this is what happened from a writing prompt I was given) (If anyone feels that this is misrepresenting/disrespecting people who have gone through any of the experiences it's intended to show please let me know and I can remove it, thanks (and that goes for anything I ever write - I'm hopefully going to be pretty liberal with my sharing of my writing here, so y'all can kind of be the sensitivity readers and such)) Spoiler From the branches of the tallest tree Hangs the boy who fell for me It wasn’t I who put him there, Yet still he haunts me everywhere He said that what he felt was love He said I fit him like a glove He said that I would soon give in He said he knew that he would win He took no time to make his move I never said that I approved He held me by the waist and hips Till all I tasted were his lips He touched and kissed me everywhere And tho there are no bruises there The pain still drips like silent tears And fills me up with doubts and fears One way alone to end this pain I feel it filling me with shame I didn’t have the strength to fight him So now, instead, I’ll hang beside him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Spoiler The logic makes sense Should stay behind the fence Should keep up these guards But oh, it's so hard Cuz I look at you and my heart goes crazy My head spins and my vision's hazy No way that you could feel the same But somehow I can't quench this flame [Untitled] Spoiler Throw my kisses in the air like confetti I'll ask you to dance when you're ready Wrap your arm 'round my waist Not a moment to waste We'll dance for a while All my dreams be replaced With this moment with you Paint my grayest sky blue And no one will tell us What to do or not to Glass Soda Bottles Spoiler I love blowing kisses But kisses are wishes And darling, I wish That someday my kiss Might not be from so far away Not be scared of what they might say But oh my beloved, today I'll blow you a kiss And not say I love you like glass soda bottles Like the loves from all of your novels I love you like pain I love you like rain I love you like dancing I love you in vain But as the bottles shatter The only thing that matters Is the first three words When someday we're older I hope we'll be bolder And as we lie there I won't fear to share All I've ever felt for you I'll finally tell you the truth And oh, my beloved, that day I'll give you a kiss And say I love you like glass soda bottles Like the loves from all of your novels I love you like pain I love you like rain I love you like dancing I love you... And as our time will shatter The only thing that matters Is my last three words [Untitled] Spoiler You call me darling, same as everyone else But I wish I could tell you how that word makes me melt And you smile at me Just like you smile at everybody [Untitled] Spoiler Blowing kisses like dandelion seeds Making wishes like you're all I need [Untitled] Spoiler Your hands make me clay I'll be whatever you say If you can't love me as I am I'll be someone new, soon as I can [Untitled] Spoiler You're my ocean, I'd give myself to you If I knew you wouldn't drown me But drown me with your love Send a flood [Untitled] Spoiler I knew you in another life We both just forgot All that's left is the vaguest remnant of a thought That you should be mine And I should be yours I should hold your hand And hold all your doors [Untitled] Spoiler I wanna say hello and I love you Send you the songs that remind me of you I wanna grab your hand Run as fast as we can And explore the world as one Just for fun [Untitled] Spoiler If I were stone, you'd hold the chisel My walls were up, you launched the missile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DramaQueen Posted December 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Don't Spoiler Don’t cry Don’t lie Don’t feel Don’t steal Be quiet Don’t riot Be still I cry I lie I feel I steal Can’t quiet I’ll riot I will I’ll be Just me You can’t Enchant Me to Be who You’d kill Life Spoiler We always grow up, never down Seem never to swim, only drown Life drags us on Our past is gone And our future is suddenly found The pains are so hard to ignore Once they’re gone, it’s hard to restore The life you once knew, The one that was you, The life that you knew long before. So instead, we are forced then to change The pieces must then rearrange A completely new puzzle To take off the muzzle And live once more free, though strange. Life isn’t some static creation It changes with new situations It can’t be expected It isn’t directed Just face it with determination. I Don't Know Spoiler Thoughts, jumbled He, we, her, them Up, down, red, left Love, hate Confusion Confusion? I don’t know. What don’t I know? Ask me something. “I don’t know.” The jumble hides me Chair here, blanket there A mix of patchwork and wood Metal and paint Jumbled jumbled together Who am I? I don’t know. What do I want? I don’t know. I want to know. Don’t want to don’t know I want to clean My jumbled brain So I do I move the jumble Sort the jumble Arrange the jumble A sitting area to the left, A library to the right. I shove the LOUD Away. Quiet. Clean. I made up my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
