Kingdom Come.

Kingdom Come.

Ulises Vargas

December 10, 2024. 

To Sophia. 

Everytime you cry, I don’t know how to react. 

Teach me to talk back, a response that isn’t black. 

Teach me to sound like I care, like I want to be fair. 

I want to be your breath of fresh air, 

Not the hate you’re shown everywhere. 

So show your face on camera, 

Even if a tear streams down your cheek. 

You’re not weak, never in my eyes. 

I see you’re devastated and want to die, 

Let me in so I may help inside. 

Feel my heart beat on the inside. 

I know you think I cheat, I lie. 

But truly, I want what’s best for you. 

For the sake of us as one. 

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. 

Thy take a breath, thy will see the better. 

There’s more to life than cutting, burning, poisoning. 

There’s more to crying, hurting, feeling. 

I wish you saw what I saw, 

The beauty when you cry. 

How sad you look after making that decision, 

The one to cut, to burn, to poison. 

I die inside with you, 

I feel the toll of dealing with this with you. 

You’re not a burden, but I know you’re hurting. 

Don’t push me away, with your external resentments. 

I’m not them, I'm not them. 

The turmoil of emotions feeds in a loop. 

I don’t want to get dragged in, too. 

But I’m here for you, and only you. 

Otherwise, I would’ve turned away long ago. 

I would’ve listened to the hurtful things you said. 

The burning words you pressed. 

But I’ll stay, for another day. 

Till thy kingdom come, thy will be done. 

You can’t guilt trip me, for things I know I haven’t done. 

I’ve loved  you, and not for fun. 

I’ve loved you, for the sake of us. 

So soon as I hope, 

Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done.

Frosted Cocaine.

                                                                    Frosted Cocaine. Ulises Vargas January 2, 2024.  Cocaine, take away the pain.  Feel that icy blizzard like hard rain.  Pick me up from sadness and take me away.  I have nothing to gain but happiness,  Everything to lose and descend into madness.  But today, take the pain away.  Numb my face like a glass mask.  Use your power to cover and glaze the past.  Give me life, for every dollar I spend.  Give me life, for every wound you mend.  Save me from insanity,  And bring me to serenity.  Finding peace, piece by piece.

One hundred selves.

One hundred selves.  Ulises Vargas  November 29, 2025.  Liars. All of us are liars.  Don’t try to lie and say that you’re not a liar, either.  Let me ask you: does everyone in your life know the same stories as each other? Do they all know the same person, or have you shaped their perspective of you?  Does your mother know the travesties you’ve committed?  Does your lover know your daydreams and fantasies?  Do your colleagues know how you party?  No–no to all of those questions.  Yet, each one of them supposedly knows you.  Each one of them is wrong,  because you lie to each one of them.  They all think that they have you solved; they all think that they know the real you.  To one hundred people,  there are one hundred versions of yourself.  Are any of them real? Is it really the same person who makes those one hundred selves,  or is each self a whole different person?  Regardless, how, then, can o...

No Good For Me.

                                                                     No Good For Me.   Ulises Vargas January 25, 2025. You’re no good for me.  I hooded my eyes, blind to the dark flood of negativity.  Your love was my burden to bear.  I never meant to hurt you, not at all.  But I couldn’t stand the abuse and stand tall.  Selfishly, you dragged me down with you.  While I tried my best to fix you.  Now, I’m deleting all the pics of us.  Memories torture me beyond dusk. All we had was lust.  A betrayal to what could’ve been.  I thought you were my life and I was yours,  But it was just the sex.  Now I’m free, and I don’t know how to be.  Or who I am or who I used to be.  You defined me, rewrote my own story.  So don’t contact me, rath...
