A Glance | Original Poem by Shaye Patton

A Glance

Wanting My hands interlaced with Your's

while I stare into the oblivion

that is Your eyes

which cause a flood, 

a rush

of every word ever spoken,

every memory ever shared

Your eyes disappearing with a glance.

A whirlwind of emotion

punching me in the pit of my stomach

one look,one glance

and it's back again

your turn | Original poem by Shaye Patton

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

giving yourself away

to a world unkown

hidden behind fake smiles

and endless lies

 

with a social life

only visible

in the sense of a screen

 

with a long pipe

as your new friend

telling gossip

of "he said, she said"

 

you gave yourself away

 

with only a glint

of hope, and one turn

turn quick

before you reach the point

of no return



it just hurt sometimes | Original Poem by Shaye Patton



 

 

it just hurts sometimes

 

 

i've tried so hard

to be there

for You

i've tried so hard

to understand

for You

 

it was just us

no Her

no Them

then it was gone

 

You've surpassed me

sociably

academically

even through love

 

although i'm proud

more proud then,

ever imaginable

more proud then,

ever understandable

 

but, it just hurts sometimes.

 

i've tried so hard

to be there

for You

i've tried so hard

to understand

for You

 

yet, You won't talk

to me

You won't let

me in

 

but, it just hurts sometimes.

 

i know i'm behind

sociably

academically

and through love

 

but, I am still here

for you

I will always be here

for you

 

so, it just hurts sometimes.

 

when You won't talk

to me

You won't let

me in

 

 

 

 

Your Eyes | Original Poem by Shaye Patton

 

 

 

Your Eyes

 

 

 

 

I long for that glance

a look

one moment with no words

just

your eyes

 

 

your eyes

telling a story

the way they light up

like a million stars

 

 

I could stare in their deep color

endlessly

with glints of laughter,

passion,

sadness

 

your eyes

Silence | Original Poem by Shaye Patton

Silence

deafening

the sound of silence

the weight of no words

holding one under

the sea of sounds

racing

the thoughts in my head

tucked neatly away

years of hiding

resurface

the wall of protection

built brick by brick

with fake smiles

and the words,

"I am ok"

SILENCE

a never-ending cycle

never gone

always there

reminiscing

every piece of your life

 left behind

every decision 

yet to make

every moment you

not willing to share

silence 

the truth no one wants to hear

Infinite |Original Poem by Shaye Patton

Infinite



A thousand faces pass me everyday
They come in pairs

crowds

alone.

All being an infinite number of worlds away

no one being truly alike.

Yet, an overwhelming sense of emotion flows

through all veins

pulsing with anxiety

A sense of unknown

Unknown of the past

present

future.

All with an infinite amount of possibilities
