Obsession -- A poem about a love that consumes all waking thought.
I’m not one to scream,
Throw fits,
Pull out my hair and
yell my displeasure to the skies.
But my heart’s all in a daze,
Because I’ve got you on my mind.
It was just an inkling at first,
A voice digging claws right into my...
Reminder -- A birthday ruined in a single moment.
On a day of momentous occasion,
Another year gone by.
The calendar has been flipped;
And reveals a hole in its plot.
Birthdays are to be celebrated;
But one word, one sentence uttered --
Curses the day anew.
Mother dearest hasn’t come.
Mother...
Chapter 8 - The Race is On
(Viv’s POV)
It was a wonder how they were still walking on their two feet. That meeting had lasted into the night and, despite the cheery glow of the lanterns, they were having difficulty seeing in the dark. They’d always suffered from a bit of night blindness, and...
Here's a small collection of short poems that are somewhat old~
Clean
Clean, clean, play make believe
Like I’m in some kind of fantasy.
I can be Cinderella
And pretend that it’s not reality.
Who’s really the maid here?
Scrub, scrub, scrub my mind clean.
But nothing can purify a brain stained...
Daughter of the Void -- This poem is about the main character of my story Witch Light, who's named Lunelle :3
Blood, grief, and pain
But fuel to the fire,
Light and Chaos and all of that,
What is life without a little torture?
What is death but a new chapter to your story?
Through life these...
Did What I Must
Every good plan needs determination,
And the willpower to do what you must.
But I’m a coward who couldn’t think it through.
Because after the first, obligation trapped me.
And after the first, I began to suspect I was better off here.
Better off with the guilt of a plan ripped...
Chapter 7 - A Bargain (TW: Mentions of discrimination)
(??? POV)
There was a legend among their people, about how they were made. It spoke of a group of humans that had the worst lot in life dying. And all they wanted was the chance to live again.
A God took notice of their plight and felt...
Behind One's Back - a poem about being surrounded by secrets that only your privy to.
I heard it.
The Secret told behind my back.
Do you know how awful it feels;
To have your paranoid thoughts proven correct?
Once an insidious thought, it borrows deeper,
Sinking jagged thoughts deep into your...
Lady in White -- Where it all began.
Of all the selfish little
Idiosyncrasies,
Lost in a daydream.
But can you find me there?
When I’m tied down,
Lost in adventures of the mind.
Assign me a role
That forces me to feel content.
The only music I want to hear
Is the thumping of my pulse,
As the...
Chapter 6 - Goodbye
“Where will this take us?” Putting a hand to the wall, she immediately jerked it back in surprise. A closer look at the wall revealed dark mold growing there. Shivering, she drew her cloak tighter around her. After escaping into the storehouse, so called Mauve had led...
Sick -- This one's kind of old-ish? But when I wrote this I was struggling with a pretty bad UTI where I was throwing up constantly and in so much pain that it felt like I was dying. When you're in so much pain, or just sick in general, I feel like it's fair to want just a little bit of special...
Might as well be Dead -- This is a fan poem for the book "God of Lost Words", the last in a trilogy for the Hell's Library. I wanted to make this longer, but honestly, I think it's short and sweet. The ending to God of Lost Words made me want to cry honestly. Like, technically, no one died? But...
Within my reach; To Defend all that I hold dear -- The fan poem to the last book in a trilogy The God of Lost Words. This poem is technically the POV of a character? But it's not a character that's technically introduced in the book, you just find out about her. The way her, ha, 'story' ends...
Missed Chances -- A poem about losing someone and not getting the chance to say what you really needed to.
Of every friend I’d cherished,
Why is it that I regret losing you the most?
Young and dumb,
Childish and alone,
The memory catches me still.
Chasing it through cloudy trails,
Trying to...
This body isn't mine -- A poem about feeling severely dysphoric.
That I would
And if I could,
Have a body perfectly tailored for me.
Without the things that I hate so much,
Things that I long to cut away
And string along,
Without feeling severely overwhelmed.
But there’s no ‘Bodies R Us’,
No...
Rotten Fairy Tale (Elise) -- Just another Fairy tale with a twisted ending.
My life was a dirty fairy tale.
Rotten to the absolute core.
Stick a needle in it and give me another chance.
“Oh god, where’s my due?”
There’s no deity that can save me.
I’ll burn, yes I’ll burn.
Light you on fire...
Somewhere, somehow a book fell into the wrong possession.
“Fairy tales were never just sunshine and rainbows.”
Painting picture perfect dreams,
Evil will never wait behind stoic walls.
Listening to a lullaby that douses everything in disharmony;
Painful to the ears; Misophonia bridges the...
The Little Butterfly -- yeah, i couldn't tell you what this is about. I wrote it way back in 2020 and even back then I had no idea what crack my brain was on lmao.
The little butterfly is hungry.
Drained of all power, its flight weakens.
Shimmering powder; proof of its existence.
What’s the...
I've found two fan related poems I started writing in the past and just decided to finish them!
The Patriarchy! -- A fan poem for the book Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao, a book about quite literally (albeit a bit too simply) dismantling a patriarchal system that insists on women being...
Technically, both of these poems are old-ish? But I was looking through my poetry folders tonight and found them and, even though they're overall negative, I kind of liked them? So!
Blood Red -- A poem about the shock of finding someone that had an accident, and feeling conflicting thoughts...
