How

What to say to the person that loved you once??
How do you explain to yourself
that it's not how it used to be???
How do you not get nervous when you see him?
How do you walk away and try not to cry??
How can you look at him
and not remember what it was like??
How can you not think of him
for the rest of the day??
How do you pretend you don't care
when you hear from him??
How do you go to bed
and not think of all those good times you spent with him??
How can you not smile when you remember
how he used to make you laugh??
How are you going to spend the cold winter without him??
It's just not the same...
how do you believe all the shit he did to you??
Why are you still nice to him??
After all you cried…
Why do you still smile at him?
How do you not think of him
when you listen to that "stupid song"??
How do you make yourself understand
that the love is gone??
How do you make the pain go away??
How do you explain to yourself
that you are not the girl he has been waiting for??
How do you forget all those promises
and pretend like he never said them??
How can you erase all the memories??
How can you pretend like nothing ever happened??
How??

What I Feel

I searched among the many memories
In my head to see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there isn't one,
That captured it just right,
For no one can comprehend,
Just what I'd like to say.

I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
Even in this very poem
For how shall I portray you?

This beautiful girl that I admire
To say I have feelings for you,
More than my heart can maintain,
Just enough to fill an ocean.

When I think about you,
I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore
A person who is beautiful,
Just by what I see inside.

Mere words cannot describe
The main qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those you know
Causing my heart to appreciate you even more.

Now that you finished my poem,
Maybe you will notice all the love,
That I have for you for it's
Just what I feel.

Unforgotten Memories

As I sit here all alone.
Trying to reminisce days that passed.
Joyful memories engraved in our hearts.
Pain and sadness that crossed our path.
Somehow it seems like a fantasy.
Fairy tales from a child's memory.
That all ends happily ever after.
Dreams I encounter whenever I am asleep...
All seem like real to me.
But sometimes feel as empty as me.
When morning comes I must wake.
Then my dreams would slowly fade.
Dreams of you and me together
How I would love to sleep forever.
To hold on to my precious dreams.
And never let it slip through my hand
But as I try to wake dreams slowly fade.
Even as it slowly fades.
I know in my heart it would stay.
Just as the autumn leaves would lie on the ground.
And as it slowly returns when spring arrives.
Love forgotten in the passing of time.
Pain and sadness scarred by time.
A dagger pierced straight at my heart.
Longing for someone to pull it apart.
Then you came and gave me a chance.
A chance to mend a broken heart.
Memories would stay right here with me.
And let it be part of the sky.
An endless sky with no boundaries.
Filled by my unforgotten memories.

Its you

Pure blood runs through these veins,
Yet it never feels the same.
Replayed memories in my head,
Happiness pain joy and dread.
All those days we spent together,
You said we'd last forever.
I followed my heart,
I thought it was true.
I guess I wasnt ment for you.
I want to cry all the time,
But I suck it up and say Im fine
I've only learnt one thing from this,
..Its you I'll always miss

Why

I dont know why i am who i am
I dont know why i dont give a damn
I dont know why i hate to be alone
I dont know why i hate my own home
I dont know why i always have to lie
I dont know why i always wanna cry
I dont know why my patience runs on empty
I dont know why but bitch dont tempt me!
I dont know why i think im so ugly.
I dont know why i love to be funny.
I dont know why my friends are my life
I dont know why i stay up all night
I dont know why i like to stand out
I dont know why when i talk i seem to shout
I dont know why i laugh my problems away
I dont know why bad memories seem to stay
I dont know why i fucking hate my dad
I dont know why i love making him mad
I dont know why i cant stand my mother
I dont know why i have an autistic brother (not in a bad way)
I dont know why i end up wit bogus guyz
I dont know why my dreams could reach the sky
I dont know why i listen to rock bands
I dont know why id rather sit than stand
I dont know why id trade a skirt for some jeans
I dont know why im always so mean
I dont know why i gave this poem a try
I dont know why im always asking why!!!

Farewell Love

Farewell my greatest love

After the long wolf cry of the loneliest night
comes a new morning with the bluest sky
watching the sun blooms to a new light
In a place we used to hide

Reminiscing our happiest and saddest moments
In my thoughts and in my heart will always be kept
A love full of struggle and promises
Finally reached a new beginning

Eight long years seem like yesterday
a love thats never given a chance to last forever
torn in a world that I could never be
for I am yours wherever you may be

Yes, I did what you asked of me my love
to live like a wind, in a life full of adventures
I told of your story in a thousand ways
shared our memories in countless days

you were my life and my greatest love
a once in a lifetime journey finally found its end
where the greatest mystery becomes clearer to me today
in chapter of our past must no longer be held

to start a life and to love
with someone the way you loved me
a promise not to make her cry
to live each day filled with happiness
a gentle and selfish heart
deserves a meaningful life
for I will love her the way you hold me
farewell my love, my greatest love

- Herofil Olarte

Just You

I wish you knew how much I loved you,
I wish you knew how you made me feel.
You're always on my mind,
I think about you all of the time.

I love your wonderful smile,
I love your beautiful eyes,
But I hate that we don't talk no more
And the way you act like I'm not alive.

I can't get over you,
I miss all the times we had together,
All the memories that we shared,
Forever in my heart you will be there.

Someday I hope you'll love me,
Like I love you now.
I hope that someday comes soon,
Cause I'm lost without you around!
