the eyes

NotACatboy

1 min read

The eye is all seeing

which sounds awful freeing

but nothing can hide

not even the fearful bride


the eyes have seen at all

even the most boring wall

it wishes for it to stop

but the eyelids are unable to drop


so many cruel things to be shown

but even after seeing it all, it’s so alone

the cruel reality of us all

not even the thought of you can stall


i would die if that’s what it took

longing

NotACatboy

1 min read

she decided when it was done

she always was the first to run

what she had was so great

but i didn’t leave first-it was too late


she wanted to feel better

and she always wanted to receive a meaningless letter

a stupid volleyball setter


the thought she had of me wasn’t true

but the lies she told after we’re all askew

i would’ve done anything to feel something for her

but all our time together be...

If michael had been there

NotACatboy

1 min read

If Michael has been there in that house

he would’ve said something

when the fire first started on my chest

he wouldn’t have let me burn alone

because he’s michael

and he’s my friend

and he’d never let anyone hurt me like that


If Michael had been there in Science class

he would’ve said something

that made you stop the fire you started on my thighs

he wouldn’t have let me burn because you cou...

The marsh

NotACatboy

1 min read

In the marsh, they come and go

Kids, adults, and wildlife too

But they have nothing to show

As the horizon turns blue


They promised me a life

That of which was worth keeping

With the loss of my beloved wife

it made me want to keep seeking


Fog rolls in sometime soon

as the day starts to pass

it’s almost noon

at last


The life they promised sounded so grand

but before i knew it

I was ...

The dead

NotACatboy

1 min read

Death likes to whisper to me

He beckons me to come closer

The souls of the damned shout to me

They tell me to join them


The souls tell me it’s better off that way

Sometimes i think they’re true

But i don’t give in


The souls aren’t just souls

they tell stories too

stories that make me shake

stories that inject me with fear


the souls don’t care what they do to me

they want me to suffer ...

The birds

NotACatboy

1 min read

The birds outside my window sing songs

The most beautiful ones to hear

But they never decided to last long

And soon we were brought back to fear


The songs drowned out the screams

If there’s anywhere you will find me

It is begging them to come for me in my dreams


As i grew older the birds kept singing

Though it became hard to hear

My ears never stopped ringing

But the birds kept on breath...

The man at the rope

NotACatboy

1 min read

He is the evil that sees what i see

watching my life unfold

whispering on my shoulder

guiding my hand

pulling my string

leading me to what’s next


He watches my foolish mistakes

and takes over

he’s at his own volition

and i become the watcher

The chill he runs down my neck is like no other

grasping my neck

and holding up a knife

whispering on my shoulder

guiding my hand

pulling up the...

decay

NotACatboy

1 min read

I see the battlefield infront of me

half taken by ice

half thriving in peace

but the ice is spreading

catching up to you

like a disease


The plants fall out one by one

decaying

and growing towards me

if i look away

the faster it goes

plaguing the land

soiling the water

drying the earth

killing the life


it wanders for a bit

until it find you again

running increasing the temptation...

Him

NotACatboy

1 min read

No matter where i look

No matter where i run

No matter where i hide

he follows me

Searching for me

And never stopping


I see him in the corner of my eye

In the pew behind me at church

lurking in my cupboard

hiding in my closet

but he’s just so far out of reach i can’t touch him


He whispers in my ears while i sleep

and dangles over my shoulder when i can’t decide

and lingers in my thoug...

The loveless and the Lover

NotACatboy

1 min read

The lover:

One day i saw this girl

hidden inside my phone

She was beautiful

but i think that’s a given.


She could mesmerize even those who hated her

and i was one of them.

She had this grace

none could match

and i wish i could’ve amounted to her


Soon, i was caught by her gaze

and i wanted her

more than anything


Day and night

i’d wait for her message

which put a smile on my face
