The Things I Keep in My Bottom Drawer

[Yin Valentine]

Hello person somehow bored and desperate enough to read my work! My Poetry folder is gone, so I won't be able to read stuff from there until I find it, however, I do have a couple of loose papers around!


Here's one I made a while back..


Don't leave so soon,


If you go will I see you again?


Don't leave so soon,


I don't want to forget you..


I'm not like the others, I promise,


It's just that you're so perfect...


And I'm afraid


Yes I'm afraid...


Of losing you...


The others don't understand,


They think it's just a game,


And they move on...


You came here so early...


But my mind's eye is fading..


Please... Please...


Don't leave so soon


Don't leave so soon


Don't leave so soon...


'Coz as soon as you open that door,


I know I'll forget you.


Whatever you do...


Don't leave so soon,


Don't leave so soon...


You, in the back of my mind,


Is not enough..


Your pictures torn,


the edges are so rough...


And I've only known you for so long, but...


Don't you dare leave soon,


Don't you dare leave... soon...


I don't want to miss you...

 

[Yin Valentine]

Welp, I have two entire fans, so I think I'm gonna share out a few more of my poems.


I made this one a few years back.


The Ocean


------------


The pollution fills the air


And the fish fill my sea


No matter what sailors do


I still feel so lonely


And no matter what,


Rain or shine..


No matter what,


It will never be my time..


At night I'm alone, in the desolate void


And I will grow cold...


When the Earth stops spinning,


Will I be considered old..


--------------------------------------------


Next!


(This one's more like a song, it's about my ex girlfriend. xD )


Black Widow


--------------


So this is what it's like


To throw away memories?


But after what you've done, no it wasn't too hard...


At first it was mutual,


But then you turned and stole the dignity from my back..


And whenever you felt lonely


I gave in...


Because I'm an idiot!


And when you turn away for a second,


You get a taste of your own medicine!


Oh honey, it's funny you don't understand!


And now that you're leaving,


I gotta get it through to you that I'm not interested


In falling into your web again.


'Coz you're a Black Widow


And I survived,


I survived.


'Coz you're a Black Widow


And I survived,


I survived.


So go woo another spider,


Because I'm not interested


In the sticky silver-lining


Of your web...


You're gone now, without saying goodbye,


But I'm not sad,


No I'm not sad


Because...


You're a Black Widow and I survived,


You're a Black, Black Widow and


I survived!


Now the best of me is under lock and key,


'Coz you're a liar and I'm the light..


----------------------------------------------


That one takes me back! Cheating asshole...


This one is called...


To Love Death


-----------------


Silence, sweet silence,


Take me away,


Into the night,


The setting day.


A song of death,


Hell for the sins


I bear,


But an ode to peace


To my pain...


And as I fade,


As I leave,


As my trace is erased


And my footprints


Are wiped so clean from the beach,


I say goodbye to tomorrow


For my painless today.


---------------------------------------


Fuck, that's depressing.


One more, this one's cute, and one of my favorites.


Brick Made Out of Putty


--------------------------


Something's different,


Not quite in place,


Something's wrong...


They're repeating the days.


And I'm just another.


I'm just another


Brick Made Out of Putty,


The weak link in the wall of life.


Conformity made my friends


Hard as stone,


But I'm just a little,


I'm just a little,


Brick Made Out of Putty


Trying to make it alright,


A Brick Made Out of Putty,


A weak link born in the fight.


Media made my friends


As quiet as the cold,


But I'm just a funny


Little


I'm just a funny


Brick Made Out of Putty,


Your jokes are always lonely,


But you and me, we're the same,


In a hard-as-stone


Wall of Life.


And as the day goes by,


If my putty dries,


Please don't make me


Like the others, because


I'm just a hopeless,


I'm just a hopeless


Little Brick Made Out of Putty.


----------------------------------


I like that one, that's cute. Ask for more, ask for less, but just say something!

 

[Yin Valentine]

Yaaay! Moar support! I'll be soon to come out with more poetry if I bang my head against the wall enough!

 

[Yin Valentine]

Thank you! 7 votes! Raaaawr! I'm so happy! Also, if you go to my profile, I have a link to my science question on a sleeping problem I've been having recently. I appreciate the support, you're all making me so flushed! (OUO)


Star


------


Never have I ever


Seen a ball burn so bright


So many of it's family shining throughout the night...


Dangerous and warm,


Just the way I like it.


And if I ever met the sun


I'm sure it'd like me...


Friendly, standing out through the night,


Trying to escape the moon's cover,


I admire my friend,


She's always there.


I look up, sometimes you've hid behind a cloud or two,


But I know it's because you're shy,


Her face is always so red,


So happy,


So embarrassed,


You don't have to be so afraid..


Stop going away..


You're warm and bright,


Your presence is cheerful


The kids love you,


And would I be afraid to say I'm one of them


Trying to stare at you...


--------------------------------------------------


Gaaaaah!


Thank you! I hope that was cute, and I'll be happy to give you more soon! I never thought people would like my poetry! I thought it was repetitive and stupid, I guess I'm wrong!

 

[Yin Valentine]

Hm.. nothing new yet, but I'm still eager to give you guys more material, even if it is.. not the greatest.. it's kinda embarrassing! I'm not sure why you guys like this stuff... I just don't see it as that good.. I mean, I like a couple of them... This poem was inspired by a couple of my friends who suggested I should do another about love. Thanks for the "YAAAASS" votes! This one's a bit sadder and darker, it's about an abuse victim, but I prefer covering touchy subjects, they make for better stories.


Thank you once again, enjoy!


It is Better to Have Never Loved at All


------------------------------------------


People say love is like a therapist


Then why can't I be fixed?


Someone hurt me,


They broke me,


And everyone's married


To the people they hate...


And everyone


Is saying:


"Love's so great"


And with that statement, I pose a question,


"Why do so many people


Lie broken?"


My therapist hurt me,


My therapist told me lies,


Love still said I was okay,


Love told me just one more night


But look where I am now,


Please, look where I am now..


And tell me that love was never meant to be strife.


--------------------------------------------------------


I hope you liked it! More words cleverly structured soon!

 

[Yin Valentine]

Hey! I'll be sending out more poems soon! Give me time to think. ^u^

 

[Slim Intoxicado]

Magic.


.....Nuff said.

 

[Yin Valentine]

I've been living with paranoia and neurosia for a long time, so I might as well make some poems..


It Touched Me.


-----------------


If I'm alone for too long


Or left in the dark


People come close to me


Like they were never hiding at all


And if I am to glance near my bedroom's door


A creature runs past it, leaving blood on the wall


If I dare dream a little dream


It will be the last night I sleep


Because the things I think


Never seem to be pleasant at all.


Not even medicine makes them leave..


At least, not from my dreams..


But no matter what I do,


They tell me "I'm watching you",


And I feel I'm going insane.


If I look outside my window


I'm afraid to turn around


Because this could be the moment


Where I'm buried..


In shallow ground.


--------------------------------------------


See ya! More votes, more people asking for more, the more I give! :3
