I like to post random poems of mine so random strangers can read. Tell me what you think. Plz?

Make me feel like I’m something better than nothing.

Like I matter somewhere to someone more loving.

I’ve got nothing to show for the life I’ve lived.

‘Cept some empty pockets and the love that I give.

It’s not much till you need it and you realize it’s yours.

Then you’ll realize you’ve wasted it but you’ll feel no remorse.

You’ve taken it for granted. And you feel no shame,

No grief in the pain that you’ve caused from your game.

I’m a pawn on your board of black and white checker

A piece to be played when you’ve got nothing better.

You’ll use me once, twice, then cast me away.

Then you’ll pull me back into this game that we play.

You want to feel like you’re something better than nothing.

Like you matter somewhere to someone more loving.

You’ve got so much to offer for what you’ve been through

You’ve got the charm, the smile, the money too.

You can get anything you want, but you choose to stay.

Like you enjoy the pain that’s caused from our game.

I’ve taken you for granted, I feel no shame,

No grief in the pain that I’ve cause from my game.

You’re a chip on my table of green and white velvet

In a game I play where I raise the steaks when I can help it.

I’ll gamble with your life, your love, and your pain

Cause I’m on a streak, the more you lose, the more I gain.

I’ll take you for granted, and you’ll do the same,

Cause there’s pleasure in the pain that’s caused by our game.

Just a Memory

I gave you a piece of my heart

And it scarred when you left.

Now these memories tease

and I’m left to confess.

These feelings for you

That never left.

A memory of mine,

And a memory of yours.

Shared in this existence

And left unexplored.

Untouched by time.

Like it happened yesterday.

And if I tried to grab it,

It’d just slip away.

If just for a moment.

If it’d just stay

I could be happy

If only for a day.

But time moves on,

Or so they say.

Cause after all,

It’s just a memory.
