I tell my therapist I think I am incapable of love
At least not with someone who will love me back
And maybe I learned it from my mother
Or the father who couldn’t love me even if he wanted to
And I don’t blame you
May you find a love that heals,
a love that sees the beautiful despite how the world turned upside down the way you feel.
There's a piece of my heart that still holds on to you.
The piece that equates neglect with value;
Abandonment with level of servitude.
The fairytale I never got to see come true.
It all started one day,
and I had no clue
of what was coming my way
I can't believe it's true.
I was told it would happen,
To My Aries, Perhaps I have been experiencing a wavering faith. I want to blame someone for the mess I am in. God. The Devil. Someone. Anyone. I have come to the realization that I can only blame myself.
Our goodbye
A sad view
We never knew
Three years of blue
You held my heart too close to yours
What's left of me?
Can I love?
We overcome obstacles everyday
They make us view things differently from yesterday
Overcoming an obstacle, takes us a step closer to being wiser
But when you go through an obstacle that makes you full of guilt
Sometimes it helps to pause a sec
To bow my head and genuflect
To slow my breath and just reflect
On the sins of mortal men
Sometimes I laugh until I cry
We’re doomed to cry until we die
Firm hands, from shadows on the wall.
Firm no’s, from girls around nightfall.
I promised to protect you all.
Don’t touch, These artifacts are rare.
Don’t look, It’s really rude to stare,
Dear Love,
Sometimes,
Your soft brown eyes
Fill my
Stomach with such a strong boiling rage
I want to light your curly hair on fire
Dear Mrs. Whatsherface,
I have wanted to finish this letter to you for years.
I have started writing it many times but never had the heart to write the three words.
Dear J,
I told myself I would forgive &
Take the weight of your world
Off my shoulders,
But the soft consonants of your name
Are too hard
With tears in my eyes
I look into yours
Our eternal lives
Have been suddenly cut short
Though they are closed tight
A new door unlatched.
Even out the squares
Where's the love man
Life isn't always fair, nobody calls the shots here,
My friend, what is it that I've done wrong on this land?
Laying back to back
I think to myself
why are we fighting?
What was the reason that we are here?
I remember..
something small.
I wonder what he is thi-
what was that?
Take a peak.
Love lost
No where to turn
Beginning to question
What a life costs
Life without love
Isn't a life worth living
So I jumped
Body flew like a dove
The only letters I’ve ever kept
Are apology letters
Every single one from my father
Because it’s easier for him to write to me
And leave it in my room while I’m sleeping
Than to look me in the face
I’ve been
Awake full nights,
For the past three months,
Because I’ve got nothing to do.
So instead of doing nothing,
I instead do nothing and
So, i heard your name yet again, today.
Yep.
Still got that sour taste and rotten smell that lingers well after you're gone.
Oh, fuck you.
Wait.
That's all you ever wanted.
I’m suppose to forgive you.
FORGIVE ME
I've screwed up
I've done wrong
Now i don't know where I belong
I've messed up
Its real bad
She wont stop being mad
Said sorry
For so long
Afraid that shes gone
"Forgive, but do not forget," is a saying as old as time.
Ordinary as it may be, it is a powerful message; one that has been forgotten over the years by so many.
If I could
I would
Go back in time
When we first met
I would look at you
With different eyes
I would thank you
While we sat at a table
Alone
In front of the school library
Words coming down,
Hurtful and unnoticeable.
Pang settles in the heart,
Uncomfortable and unbearable.
Next comes the tears,
Wanting to wipe away,
Yet with pride in the way,
Writer's Note: I wrote this when I was young and realized even when your a grown adult you still dont undestand true family value.
I remember
your face
on which there was
pain and disbelief
distorting your features
beyond recognition
when I saw you
for the last time.
Forgive me
For I caused your eyes
We live in a world where people hold grudges
People hold onto their own opinions, there are no budges
From forgetting to return a phone call
I want to dance and cry and scream,
In memory of all the things we think are better forgotten.
"Forgive and forget", they say.
Forgive, by all means forgive,
But, please don't forget?
I bet you never knew how much pain you caused
I bet you didn't realize you helped build these walls
But now I'm trying to knock them down
Thank God you're not around
And to you I don't know what to say
Beating. Thumping.
The sound of a heavy heart,
GUILTY!
Running. Sprinting.
Being chased by your consicence,
SHAMEFUL!
Hiding. Sneaking.
Conceling the disgrace.
LYING!
How do I explain?
How would YOU explain?
When he doesn't show up, when he's always late.
How do you explain to her, she's not even 8....
Here's How:
When she's jumping up and down cause she can't wait
Im sick of letting people get the best of my emotions. I don't belong to anyone and I never will. I'm too untamable, the ultimate challenge with straightforward notion. The truth is the only thing that truly fills.
Before you try to silence me, judge me
Before you treat my story with negativity
Still I RiseYou may write me down in historyWith your bitter, twisted liesBut I know the man I really wasAnd he’s different from your hateful criesMy life was filled with wonder
The wind whispers dark secrets,
That I should not have told;
As I set free my emotions,
And let go of the old.
Now I cannot capture the wind.
Nor the words caught in it,
You taught me to sing
When my heart was blue
To break my shell
speak words that are true
To give and give
and to never ask
love is an ocean
A field of endless grass
Crying in the bedroom
Ready to end it all
Bet you don’t know
How far you’ve made me fall
Your cruel words,
Those evil taunts,
All the things you said that I haven’t forgot
I've always thought that dreams were unattainable,
Something you wished for, it's kind of unexplainable.
I've always wanted to travel the world,
Preaching the gospel, and telling all the boys and girls,
Mikki and Church
It might’ve been her
Or the life I lived,
But the results were all the same.
When I moved to this city
It wasn’t just another move,
It was the start to a dream
I’d like to borrow your soapbox. Please.
There’s something I’d like to say.
Communication is born of sounds and movement,
Born of ideas.
Much slips through the fingers, slips away.
Brokenness.
We all don’t understand,Our opinions aren’t in demand,Our souls are like flowers,They can topple over like towers,They bloom, then fade away,They go to heavan or hell to stay,Flowers have no powers,
Are we stuck in a lie
Between one love and much hate?
Suppose we give rules a change, maybe then they'll be straight.
Over time we will grow to hate the rules we have changed, but
wasting time
watching the sun set into
a blood red sky
feel the dry atmosphere
take my life
saving (G)grace
taking the time to drive out
my fears and shame
breathe.
in...out...
in...out...
the calm rhythm of my day
undistrubed.
trigger.
sharply inhale.

"no..."

when i was little, i was lonelyi looked for people like me -i found you, and you were greatfor a while at least.
Hello midnight travel.It has been quite a while.I'll use this time to think and unravel. Regain my freedom mile after mile. Leave me here to explore alone. How good it feels to be away from home.
You want the world to stop hating
You want it all to end
But I bet you don't realize
That the first step into creating a loving world
Is to first stop hating your enemies
And start making them your friends
Forgive me
Forgive me for loving you too much
Forgive me for not being strong enough
For not being able to bear the pain of that love
For not having the will to walk away
Right about now, I don't know what i'll do without him. I know he needs me, I can Hear it in his voice. Nobody else cares the way I do. Right I jest don't know what to do. I could easily be with someone else. I am' but it's not the same.
Remember that day he left you
When he left you and he flew
He said we will be together forever
That nothing can come between you ever
Your eyes, green with flicks of brown.
They swallowed me whole.
They took my soul.
They flipped my world world upside down.
For You I have changed my ways
I have gone from that nice little girl to someone older in age.
For You I have turned my back on all things that sing
Love me now love me how
I wonder if know the traits of love
I hear selfish desires being filled with my hearts treasures
I see no end to your mean and unkind ways
I want love so tender and pure
Love life, love hard, time moves on, whether you were apart of them at all. Can't move so stop trying, hearts bleeding, eyes crying. expiration date on the faith that keeps this alliance, building character to react in silence.
I never knew why i cried so much
was it because of my hurt or was because i cared
you made feel like i had little to no worth
but maybe that's why wept
if i could see you now i'd tell you
you were my world
A severed soul and a melancholy heart
Crashing tears
swollen hearts
frighten howls and horrifying screams
bitter blood
odious rope
dreadful cries
insanity fights
he rapes her eyes
