Saarai's Poetry Thread

[Saarai]

A thread for my poetry, obviously. I've been writing a lot of it, but I haven't been sharing any of it. The last time I shared a poem was at least two years ago. Got caught up with other things in life and it got neglected.

Love Yourself​

I look into your eyes,
And I see that you need help,
You're telling me lies,
Saying you can take care of yourself,
You've got clothes,
You've got status,
You've got wealth,
You don't have love,
So you don't see a reason to love yourself,
You've got fake friends,
They're never keeping it real,
Riding coat tails for a meal,
Or a chance to get a record deal,
You've got everything,
But no thing,
Will replace any thing,
That love can bring,
It might hurt,
It might sting,
But that's truth,
You've got youth,
But when it's all gone,
You're old news,
Looking for a noose,
Or any excuse,
To feel like someone loves you,
Even if they show it through abuse,
But that man leaves,
When he sees,
That you forgot your Plan B,
His Plan A,
Is your Plan Z,
No abortion on your mind,
Because this baby could be,
Your everything,
And you're going to love it,
More than any thing,
Now when I look into your eyes,
I see you don't need help,
Because you can take care of yourself,
You don't need clothes,
Nor status,
Nor wealth,
You've got a baby to love,
And a reason to love yourself.

Together
​

A lot changed since we last spoke,
We used to sleep together,
But now we're woke,
And I don't wanna go down that road with you,
Fall down that slippery slope with you,
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't miss holding you,
I lie to myself and say that I'm over you,
I can say we're never ever getting back together,
But we're two peas in a pod,
We're birds of a feather,
We fly with each other no matter the weather,
We break up,
We make up,
Maybe we're going to do this forever,
We're bad for each other,
And I don't see us getting better,
This is our modus vivendi,
We don't love each other,
but we can at least be friendly,
Our relationship won't be healthy,
But at least it won't be deadly,
You'll be seeing other guys,
And when it comes to other women,
I'll see plenty,
We fight and we envy,
There's no love lost,
We're empty,
Between us there's nothing,
But we're together now,
That must count for something.
