It has been far too long since I last did one of these, but most unfortunately, I've been under a little writing slump, which included me being unable to form enough coherent words into poems.

Fools
We were fools to have hope about life,
nobody makes it out alive anyways.
We wasted our nights playing monopoly,
and our days bouncing off the walls.
Now, we pay our bills
and hope we can afford our flat.
We danced around the kitchen carelessly,
but we now eat our dinner silently.
How'd we get this way?
The plan we made was not followed,
but at least you had the nerve to stay.

This is about being young and in love, but then suddenly you're not teenagers anymore and have to pay for things. It's like you and this person were once so in love, but now everything has changed except for the fact that you're together and maybe that should change too, but neither of you are brave enough to actually admit that.

The Romantic
In the hills,
of a faraway village
where peace pranced the streets,
lived a romantic.
She lived amongst the people,
in a town filled of hustle and bustle.
She worked side by side,
gave them faith day after day,
but then
she fell in love.
The trance overtook her,
the people felt abandoned.
She couldn't seem to care,
she was just too in love.
Her days were filled with banter,
and her nights filled with oh so sweet kisses.
Yet,
as the cynics could've predicted,
they know all too well how it goes,
her lover fell out of love.
She was left alone.
Not even her people wanted to see her,
not after she abandoned them.
Growing old was a painful process,
accompanied by her painful memories,
the person who was once a romantic
carried a cold heart,
and wished she hadn't been stupid enough to fall in love.

This one came out of absolutely nowhere, but it kind of reminds me of the pirate poem I wrote. (I think that one was in my last poetry dump.) As you just read, this one is about a person who once romanticized love and life, but then died alone.

Hope Kills
The grumble in my stomach is more constant that you.
I shouldn't be surprised,
but hope infiltrated my senses,
it killed all logic in my brain.
I can't blame the love once in my heart on hope,
that can only be blamed upon you.
For once,
I thought someone would stay,
I should've realized,
that you were bound to leave,
just like everyone else.
One way or another,
I fell in love with you,
it was so bad.
You made me forget,
and for a moment,
that was okay.
But now I'm forced to remember.
Everything is too real.
I'm so mad,
especially at myself.
Please come back,
I wanna forget.

I'm not especially proud of this one because I feel like the ending could've been stronger, but here it is anyway! This is basically along the lines of all their problems "disappear" around their partner, but when the relationship ends, it all comes back and they hate that.

Have a good day/night wherever you happen to be! Don't let the poems make you too sad ;)

Lmao anyways thanks for reading
