I belong to a poetry website called allpoetry, and have been there about 3 years now. I haven't written much recently (busy with college and not much inspiration) but I am hoping that will change soon!
In the meantime here is a couple of pieces I have written. My poetry tends to be either quite dark or more romantic, so here goes.
"You fixed it"
You accepted it.
Every single misdemeanour and fault
That makes me so imperfect,
Sheltered in your understanding.
You protected it.
A fragile, often lifeless soul
broken by lies and deceit,
was no match for the honesty you gave.
You fixed it.
My deformed, tattered heart
Weather beaten and old before it's time,
Continues to beat because of you.

"Tiptoes"
The tiptoes of my heartbeat,
The only sound in the blanket darkness.
Laid contemplating,
Mindless ramblings,
Imagination embellished.
Eyes adjust. Weary
in their awakening.
Throat dry, tightened
The whir of my mind distracting
from the peaceful slumber
I should be deep in
Can't sleep
Won't sleep
as my heart tiptoes
softly.

"Addiction"
My sighs a symptom
Of your irrational thinking
Self prescribing opioid analgesics
To alleviate signs of life
Contraindications:
Do not consume drug
In conjunction with a relationship
May lead to prolonged misery
Anaphlyaxis kicks in when you're around
A deadly allergy
To love
