Poems about relationships

Mr. Hubris

Cold you called me.

You were my only company, though.

Tore my heart apart and from bone

with the icicles from the stone heart you own.

¤

A drop of longing hangs in the air.

A sigh over the undone bed

by the thought of you.

The opening you have in your heart for me

I can creep into with the greatest longing

and meet God.

¤

I'm a deep red rose. 

Admired for beauty,
despised for thorns,
but I don’t stand here for you to pick on me
so why get mad when my thorns stick thee?

The thorns are my darkness sticking out.
When you get too close they fasten you
like a captivating mirror 

reflecting what you’ve hidden;
The unknown that scares you
and the shortcomings you blame on me.

I need my thorns for my fragile stem
from the desire that will pick me
and the rage that will take me.

When you take me out of the ground 

and I get upset you step on me and leave.

If you respected me 

you would heed the thorns outside of me.

¤


Impressed


You were so impressed
you didn't disregard me,
but fought to get through to me
even though I was angry at you
and defended myself,
a beam pushed through my darkness
to my inner light.

¤

I want to clear the water
from the land between us.

Show what gives rise to
what surrounds us

so we can always reach
each other.

¤

You say I am weak 

when I care and I weep,

but strong doesn't equal hard.

Even though your stone heart 

smash mine till it bleeds it can heal, 

but if yours get crushed 

it will be in pieces forever.

If that should happen to you

you would find you have a real one too

waiting behind the stone all along.

¤

I light a yellow candle

as if it's our fellow vandal.

I hope he shout as he burns

and dies as I blow it out.

¤

No understanding.

When I talk you talk what I say away.

When I open up you put up a wall.

When I'm optimistic you're skeptical.

You are no friend of mine.

I'm never gonna tell you what's on my heart again.

Because you don't want to understand,

but stand above me.

You never even try. You never ask my why and how.

You never ask me why I'm shy.

You want to see my body only.

Feel it and put your self in it.

Hide in me as if I'm empty,

so you don't have to see any.

¤

You look at the shadow-picture

with your back against the light.

You don't even see the contours of my body.

Just the shape of a thick, long jacket

and think my protection

against your coldness shows my true self.

¤

You're eating me.

Can not forgive,

can not digest,

so you keep on eating.

But I can digest,

I can forgive, so I grow,

while you are weakened,

under the burden of the guilt

you can not get rid of.

¤

You have a tripartite heart.

The scars between them

looks like a piece sign

when you look at it,

but seen from the outside

it is upside-down.

¤

Mr. Pretend he is normal

is so unusual.

No insight in any mind,

can not forgive and leave behind.

With no empathy to understand

creepy he cross the line

and act so crazy he blows my mind!

¤

You don't get me. You just ignore,

so I close the door.

You are no fun not taking me seriously

and don't value sincerity.

You've always had your door closed

so this is fair.

You have only care for your own despair.

But you keep on pounding

and try to force your self in,

but with only threats and no regrets

you'll burn out like a cigarette.

¤

A man who can't say sorry

is a poor man.

¤ 

I carve deep into the paper with a pencil

instead of slitting my arm with a knife.

It flows blood from throat to chest

and drips in heart shapes on the paper.

They touch your blind spots 

that covers the whole white page;

The feminine and pure.

Then you lay a shadow over it.

The red turns black.

¤

No Body

Your view is important to me

so I become what you think of me 
and melt my body away; 

You see me as nobody.

How can I have matter
when my view don't matter to you?
I try to make you aware 
by appearing more like air.

If you don't see my point then
I hope my bones get edgy enough 

to make a hole through the wall 

you have put up towards me.

¤

I'm a living fish in my right element,
but just food in my husbands hands.

¤

Yes I get offended

when your words pierce my organs.

¤

He puts sticks in the wheels

and blames me when the bike doesn't move.

I remove them, but as soon as the bike rolls again

he put a new stick in. CPS feels sorry for him

and chase me with a stick.

¤

I created a way to be on the surface to be seen.

With you I can just be. Anyway you'll see.

That calms me.

I'm not used to be vulnerable with somebody.

I am used to scream to be heard by closed ears.

I don't need to fight with you who has let yourself

be beaten by love already.

I am defeated by your heartbeats within me.

The mask slips away. Too stiff to follow the movement.

¤

Pisces

I use my flamethrower on you

so your waters perhaps evaporates

and your two fish is in fear of suffocation,

because you are being fishy again;

With one fish towards me and the other against,

which is very irritating.

¤

If you have never experienced a heartbreak before

I understand you are just looking for fun

and with your approach to women

you will never experience it either.

Pretty sad really, because even though it hurts

you would experience a depth more interesting

than sex can ever be.

¤

You texted me: Hi, 

and that you should never have said good bye.
Then you came and said: 

We ought never to meet again,
but left me with the taste of your dick 

in my mouth forever.

¤

When I was enthralled by you

and you were away

I was out of my mind,

but now I have consumed you

from top to toe inside of me

so I can feel you all the time.

¤

I fear you are a pig

that get slippy from the mud you roll around in.

When you splash and think I am in on it it's scary.

I'm a cat who wants to be dry behind the ears.

¤

After I told him how fucked up I was

he said: You're an angel!

¤

The mans ample and warm gaze

melts the girl from her mums grip

and evoke the captivated woman

behind the two

that finally with peace in mind

can carry out her calling

while the girl can freely play.

¤

I want to swallow me

and be digested in the spine.

Surrender to the bodys' dance

of love

undulating arms and legs

and melt into your tongue.

¤

I need you to wrap yourself around me

so I can unwrap myself

and lose face

when the world is a fist in mine

and I'm lost

and all I want to do is get into you.

¤

If you want to approach a woman

do it with your ears.

¤

Sometimes I feel so different

and distant from the men I talk to,

like a bird singing from a branch of a tree,

looking down at a bigger creature.

¤

I'm holding you in your cheeks

instead of kissing you

because your tongue has no end.

¤

I have had enough of catlike men

who just wants to rub against somebody

and leave without a thought of anyone 

but themselves afterwards.

¤

His dick became a fork in my mouth.

¤

To kiss is the way I love

and I love the way you kiss.

¤

I'm not a secret admirer. 

Neither am I an admirer of secrets.

I'm an open book

where what was left out is brought back,

but I can't hand it to you.

It takes a life-time to read it through,

and the last page is yet to be written.

¤

I reach out for my love,

but when he is too tired to kiss me

I ride my bike between the trees,

lick the sun and stick my tongue out to the wind.

I cycle with open mouth,

letting the air go in and out 

to the bottom of me

until he will come and lick me deeply.

¤

You are smart, friendly.

Observing to see if you fit in somewhere;

An open mind you can stick your head into

or a soft body to sink against.

Soon you will just leave me

to be a face in the air to remember.

¤

The trees were intertwined by the root,

but the trunks stood detached.

The barbed wire around one of them

hindered them from reuniting.

¤

You call me selfish when I cry

without making clear for you why,

but that is exactly what I do

when I wash away what hinders me to see;

Timber, heavy.

They shake up and fall down

when I sob vigorously.

¤

If you think I'm too skinny

why do you look so hungry at me?

¤

I'm slipping out of your hands.

Do you pretend not to see it

or aren't you strong enough to hold me?

You can't hold me up on a sugar top.

I long to go down to the ocean.

As I'm fighting to tell you about my fear

the sugar top breaks down and melts by my tears.

I fear this round will end in a break up
now that there is no mountain between us.

I don't need to be lifted, just embraced and seen
behind my face. Please be strong for me.

You insist you love me, so give love where it's needed.
You are giving a coat to a girl who's hearts bleeding.

¤

I'm so excited about you I'm dripping.
I think you feel it too cause it seems you are sipping.

¤

When I say I love you
I don't care that you don't say
I love you too,
because your actions do
and I can feel you do it too.

¤

Your head goes in between my legs
and up to my head
where my long hair embrace yours.

¤

Without any place for the foot I'm falling
for you and float until I hit the ground.
I should endure it; Be soft enough to not break
any legs I want to walk with
a man up the hills,
but before that happens I am laying in pieces,
waiting.

¤

Sleep on a Sunday afternoon.
Soon I will be in bed with you.
I like the thought of you in my flat.
I will come home as a black cat.

I don't want to be just one anymore
I will be two, then everyone.
I will be the one with someone.
Please don't say you soon will be gone

Sleep on a Sunday afternoon.
Soon I'll be in bed with you.
Put your arms under my body.
Push me to curl up beside you

I'm so happy you take interest in me
and hopefully later I can rest in thee
Couldn't get a more difficult test
than to learn to love the best, the loves nest.

Sleep on a Sunday afternoon.
Soon I will be in bed with you.
Licking you all over your body
till you curl up beside me.

Stay till you know me enough to love me.
I will love you from the bottom of my feet.
Maybe some day I'll carry your son.
Please dont say you'll soon be gone.

¤

Fragile bridge

When we can only hear each others words
we make a bridge of them to connect.

If we feel fear the bridge will shake.
If the tension is high it can explode.
When the meaning of my words don't reach you
the abyss between us split us up.

If I can look you in the eyes, however
no bridge is necessary
and the only thing that can be fragile,
tense and shaking is our bodies,
but then I will wrap my arms and legs around you
and in the very same abyss we can be one.

¤

She is unlucky in love
who falls for one who blends it with games
and either cheat to win or are unafraid to loose.

¤

FACE ME!
FANCY ME!
FEEL ME!
FILL ME!
FUCK ME!
FEED ME!
FREE ME!

¤

I was the air you fantasised in
and carried too far away.
When I pointed at ethics
you stopped so I fell.

You never picked me up after that
and I couldn't find you anywhere.
You were back in your stuffy atmosphere.

¤

He asks if he can enter
even when I have invited him
to come to my house
and opened the door for him,
but by the entrance of the most holy
he goes right in.

¤

Don't take them to heart, the temple of truth,
which is too deep and free for these glib, sticky prejudices
that is only suggestions from an upset state of mind
whose only value is they reveal I don't understand,
but can't wait to.

¤

I let them abuse me sexually because if I had put up a fight
and they refused to stop it would mean they deliberately raped me
and that would be unbearable for me.

They are like thieves
who don't see enough value in girls
to ask before they take.

¤

You walked after me into my room,
pulled down my pants
and forced yourself into me.

Your body so big, your heart so cold
I froze. If you left a seed it was just me.

¤

My arousal went up,
down through my teeth

and into his flesh.

¤

It makes no difference

if I feel pleasure or pain.

Only the love you share 

lifts my spirit.

¤

You bring the water

which washes away

the sand and branches

I thought I needed

and shine a light

the hidden in me

comes out of the shadows

to be seen in.

I call upon the wind

that loosens what's stuck

and ignite the fire

that burns with rage

what no longer serves us.

¤

You love me.

Not my emotions,

thoughts or body,

but the loveable;

Qualities I use

caused by the divine

light you can see.

¤

I tear our relationship down

so we can renovate it,

but you take the easy way out

so I must redesign it alone.

You are fine with what ever I do.

You just go with the flow.

I direct that too.

¤

When I brainstorm problems

you dip your finger in the icing

and take a piece

even though you don't like cake.

¤

You enter my life

thrilled to float around

in the open air

while I cry out

to tear down the walls.

¤ 

This relationship is dusty.

There is even tar here and there.

No matter how many tears I shed

and how many times I wash the floor

it is always dirty when you have been here.

¤

It's possible to be melancholic and happy, you say.

My dad said it's possible to leave kittens 

outside in the snow,

but then I saw them no more.

¤

I tell you all my sorrows.

Then you ask me why I'm not happy.

¤

My husband is perfect for me.

He always gives me what I need.

Even the times I feel left out

and don't get what I want,

all he does helps me grow.

¤

We are a match in heaven,

but here

we are scratching each others skin off.

¤

His shortcomings cuts me off

where I go too far.

¤

You crash down.

I lift you up on my claw,

rip you apart head to toe,

drink your blood,

pierce your pupil

and eat your eye.

¤

He couldn't see it clearly right away.

he saw glimpses from stardust to stardust

that melted away in his mind

and left brain fog behind.

¤

Don't show love because you like a person.

Show love because you love everyone!

¤

Don't tell me I'm beautiful!

Say: Everything is beautiful!

Everything is good!

Then I am free. Then I shine.

¤

I have so cold feet

they get wet in the sun.

¤

Your excuses are lies

running from my eyes.

I feel like nothing to you now,

but all of me is seen by God

who drops me in honey.

¤

I'm running through the woods 

with one shoe only.

You have the other one,

but won't give it to me:

"I didn't know you needed it".

¤

If a tragedy happens,

even war,

how you treat me

matters more.

¤

My weaknesses

weakens strong bonds.

¤

My dad never let me hold his hand.

I held the hand of my husband.

Even though he slept

I wept. I wept. I wept.

¤

When you didn't dismiss me,

but fought yourself through to me

even though I defended myself,

a beam of light pushed through

all my darkness and into

the surface of my inner light.

¤

He thrust me

out of myself.

¤

Don't let a man pluck you out of the ground

and separate you from your roots.

Your faith will dry out.

Don't replace his light

with that of the sun.
