Poems by

Imelda Valisto Caravaca

Black String

We have an unbreakable bond.

No distance can break us apart

even if it's not a golden string

but a black one

a noose that can break my neck.

Hatred

Hold me close.

Don't ever let me go.

I'm tired of being alone

in this cold empty bed.

I wanted you.

You wanted her.

I hated myself for wanting you.

Boy Shit

You never really changed.

You’re still the selfish boy shit

You’re just using me and I let you.

I know I should avoid you.

How come I still love you?

You’re such a liar.

I should remember that a year ago

I wanted to die

because you went away without a word,

without a warning.

You can’t really love.

I shouldn’t love you so.

I refuse to love you.

But I can’t look the other way

even if the writing on the wall is huge,

all caps, so clear. I just can’t help it.

You’re the baddest villain

and I’m the biggest fool.

You’re only thinking of yourself.

You don’t love me.

You never will.

I’m sliced open.

Ripped in pieces.

I need a head and heart hospital.

Boys like you tear girls’ worlds apart.

When I met you, I wanted you.

You tore my heart in two when you went away.

You tell me pretty lies.

You can give me one thing but never your heart.

But why can’t I resist you?

You play games and I know I shouldn’t believe you.

You play the same old shit with other girls.

I’m your goldmine

and you’re the coffin digger of my heart

burying it alive.

I could give you my all.

You give nothing in return

and I feel so alone, so lonely.

I know it’s wrong

but right now I can’t be without you.

I don’t want to care.

But you’ve got me right from the start.

I’ll watch you walk away.

Nights like this I can’t sleep.

You’re my beautiful liar.

You’re not worth it.

You’re not worth my time.

If I could, I wouldn’t love you.

You’ll just watch me fall apart.

Tell me how to begin to unlove you.

I’m sick of your lies.

You’re a waste of time.

But still, I care for you.

I'm so stupid to love you.

Should I Believe You?

When you tell me that you love me,

I find myself laughing.

Should I believe you?

Do you say it out of convenience?

Because I buy you stuff, things you fancy?

Heart, Grow Up!

I’ve become  Sam Smith

because I know that I’m not  the  only one.

Fooled me once.

Shame on you.

Fooled me twice.

Shame on me.

I don’t like these little games you play

But I still play along.

When will I ever learn?

Heart, grow up.

I Shouldn’t!

I should walk past you.

I should keep walking on.

You shouldn’t be in my head space,

Living there rent-free.

We shouldn’t be in the same room.

We shouldn’t ever speak to each other again.

I don’t want to need you.

I should block you.

But I still fucking love you, dear.

Eye Candy

You look so good.

You’re just my type.

You look so sweet.

But treacherous.

I accept your flaws, your limitations.

Is this really love?

Tell me.

You fooled me before

But I want you to be my sugar-caffeine high.

Obsessed with your face,

Love the way you look,

Love the way your words make me feel.

I must confess, boy,

You’ve got my heart a-beating!

I want you to wrap me in your embrace,

Drape your arms around me.

Get you under my skin, in my bed.

I want you to undress me.

I dream about you

as I lay in bed at night.

You said you could give me something,

saying you’ve fallen for me too.

But I have my doubts.

I don’t believe you at all.

You said you could show me

that you love me.

And I find myself crying

a little bit about you.

Dreading the day you’d block me

or I’d block you for both our peace of mind.

I’m thinking about you.

Want to feel you everywhere in my body.

I Don’t Want to Feel These

I can’t stop thinking about you.

Waiting for your messages.

I can’t believe I’m still in love with you.

I have a love that’s homeless, nowhere to go.

I am walking a long, lonely, wandering road

Leading nowhere close to your heart.

I feel things

I don’t want to feel,

Shouldn’t be feeling

But I can’t help it.

Beautiful Liar

He’s so beautiful.

It’s a crime.

I’m enjoying his sweet lies.

He took my heart with ease.

But he doesn’t love me.

No, he doesn’t love me.
