Today I watched a wasp try to carry her egg all the way across the garden bed.
It’s weight dragged her down, so she left the babe
Came atop a flower, wiped off her legs
And flew away
Once upon a time, A girl gave her heart to a boy,But outside its cage of bones, it was unstable.It had started crumbling and deteriorating,so she replaced it with a robotic heartin hopes of repairing the damage. But the damage was done,her true he
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
Thought we were meant to be
Guess i was wrong
Stole my heart
I miss the mystery that you once were
When there was so much still left to uncover
I miss first realising the bond we had
A connection unlike any other
How dare you, go to the movies with him
How dare you utter his name.
How dare you ask me for advice
When you know I didn't think twice
About loving you, and about caring.
I didnt think twice about being there
I once loved a girl,
But I wasn't enough for her,
So she ran off with other guys.
I once loved a boy,
But he just wanted to use me,
He told me he loved me,
Turned out to be crazy.
Orpheus & Eurydice
The two are tangled in the web
The web that we call love
The two walk by the riverbed
The bed that lies above
At first, I wasn’t going to say anything. I was going to wait it out, let the time and misery pass in silence. But then it occurred to me, when have I ever sat idly by with a broken heart?
Muscles on my body,
turning into skin and bone.
Do I feel heartache?
Heartbreak?
No.
All I feel is my entire being
becoming a rotting corpse.
Destined for the sleep of death,
They tell us to be careful
that life is hard, and cruel
but I would never listen
and now I look the fool.
They tell us people leave
and I knew it to be true
but some stay together forever
Propped my foot against the wall
I’d regress to be us for a minute or two
No wonder we’d eventually fall
On the frozen ground near Putnam Ave
Him and I and the lack of love
It all seemed so melanchomical
Feeling at home cause you’re around
I wouldn’t be walkin this ground
Catching the rails and the crowds and the sounds
In my black boots, my fancy ones
You mesmerized me with your ever-dirty kitchen
I'm breaking heart
sitting here everyday thinking
i should man up and tell you
I'm breaking my own heart
letting occupy my thoughts
the better part of the day
I'm breaking my heart
I remember how I loved you
But those feelings were always alone and never returned
Flown but had blown
Just burned
Used me as a portrait to be used for remembering
When I was younger I imagined you would never meet your grandchildren
Forgive my honesty, I just didn't think you had it in you
Growing up hearing, "I never wanted kids" sets up quite a disappointing example
It's how it is, it's life.
I look up and there's a big cloud;
Caterpillar shaped and fluffy.
I look down and there's a hole in my sock.
I stare across and there's a beautiful smile
So when you're finished with me,
Will I be disposed like an old wash towel?
Torn, worn, and rough on the corners.
Loose threading and loose ends.
Am I no longer worthy to clean up your mess?
To: me
Before,
you did the same.
glances and touches added fuel
to a fire that wasn’t yours to

Now,

Dear Diana,
All my life
There has been a glass pane
Separating me from others
When I reached out
For the touch of a friend
Dear YXU,
It has been a while! How ya been, ya schmuck?
I’m busting down your doorway and my blood pressure’s up
There’s a small stream of spit
Trailing form the rabid corner of my mouth
I am an anglerfish,
Fishnets stuck in between my teeth,
One-liner hooks spilling
From bleeding gums.
Anglerfish rely on a light to attract prey,
To the boy on the bus,
with the thick brown hoodie and the old running shoes and the wireframed glasses
and the ripped jeans that started at the knees
when you bought them
but strecthed to your lower thigh.
I run from the room, the wing whipping my face and stinging my already red eyes. You never think it will end up wrong, you only feel it when you get there. I sit under the tree, and my stomach is sore from the sprint.
If I were
To tell you
I love you,
It would for sure
Make my stomach whirl
At the thought of
A boy
And
A girl
Lost and in love.
Trust,
Lust,
Marvin's Room on repeat til 2 am.
Waking up on a tear-soaked pillow in the morning.
Asking who's going and then staying in my room because I have "homework."
Little Lighthouse Luminous
Blocked by fog, by storm
I arrive; you greet, sheltering until morn
Safe, content, enthralled
Your walls embrace
Now Darkness I can truly face
What was once said to me ?
Constantly to the ear, in whispers and sighs?
I waited,
for a response from you,
a mere whisper perhaps.
To a torn heart thrown at you,
carved with my surrender.
A plea for my liberation,
saying " I won't longer wait for you".
Once upon a time I would have said "no"
but I wasn't in control,
and I never was in control. Because when you pinned me down in the cold dungeon you call a bedroom, there was no escape.
I felt it.
I felt the way he looked at me,
Like he knew the words he would say would cut me and bleed me out.
I saw it.
The way he caressed my face and the way his eyes had lost their gleam.
Roses are red,
Rivers are blue,
If only I had time
To say "I love you",
Before you had left
And I don't think that you ever knew,
How much I truly loved you.
The more I don't understand, the more I start to resent.
I feel hatred overpowering the love in my soul.
And my heart descends from red to black coal.
She woke up the night before
Hair as soft as silk
Smooth curves
nicely served
just for you
She put her destiny in your arms before
Yet
You treated her like a whore
The night my heart was broken
Was just like any other night.
Empty beer cans all over the house,
Snoring coming from the leaving room
And a heart aching in the kitchen.
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
I'm still in love with the past
I want to be with a ghost
but I know love never lasts
You were the one I loved the most.
The idea of us still haunts me
when I lay awake at night
He turned back just one last time to see her face
He stood completley still among the flow of strangers
He had given up on the passionate chase
He now stood alone, immune to dangers
What is Heartbreak?
It feels like a trainwreck
>On a frozen lake
>>With spikes at the bottom of the lake
>>>That have been dipped in poison
Empty is how you left me.
Broken, my heart was left.
Lost is what I am.
Stupid is how I feel.
Falling for someone I can't have.
Someone I never dated.
You felt the same once
I hesitated to be respirated
Now I'm exasperated
My thoughts an infection
So I rested waiting
For the right moment to strike
So I could take a second
To look back at my life
See what it was and
I once was a girl
who was completely brokenhearted
from bullies, to boys, to a broken home.
But with a pen and paper and a much needed quiet room
there was relief.
I could write how I felt,
I loved you,I said that at 2 in the morning. I missed you,I said that at 3 in the morning. What happened to us,I asked at 4 in the morning. You said I never loved you,I said that at 5 in the morning. Did me saying that I loved you make you kno
Fold the corners of my paper heartTuck them neatly in the darkPress and fold to hold its shapeLess the creases return straightI watch with adoring eyesAs your fingers trace the paper lines
Have you ever seen it drift away The petals from a flower When the wind blows no matter how strong and sturdy Doesn't it still blow away
You were the habit I had to learn to quit
because in your perfect world I was a terrible fit.
You saw me as a game, a challenge, a dare,
you wanted to see how much you could get me to care.
I am stuck on the idea of forever.
Of being with someone forever.
Trips to the grocery store together, forever.
Waking up next to someone, forever.
Loving someone, and them loving me, forever.
Bye, bye, bye, butterflies
Dear butterflies in my stomach,
Please leave, go out..
cause there's nothing to flutter about
Nobody's that exciting anymore
All rising around for nothing,
I call him , eyes brimming with tears
Struggling to see why
we have to end it like this
We knew it was coming
I awoke to the sound of wailing.
Panicked, I lay,
Eyes closed,
Mind in disarray.
The longer I listened,
The sooner I realised,
'twas the wind crying by my bedside.
The room was dark,
This may be hard to believe...
I think I hide it well,
But really, I am quite shy and hide within my shell.
Sure I may be loud...
In your face sometimes too,
Whatever.
Whatever you say.
Whatever, I don't care...
Whatever that--whatever--means, he can't be bothered to care.
"Whatever" he said.
ARGH! Just makes me want to pull at my hair
You have brought me to this frustration.
I know that if I don’t tell you
You will eat me alive. Stress me out. Tear me apart.
I can’t change this. We won’t make it either way.
Silver leaves don't fall
They never have to die
They never hurt like I did
When colder weather came on by
Did you ever feel the heartbreak
The bitter sting of pain
You, my dear, are the stone that sinks my stomach
All the birds in the high trees of my thoughts come down to investigate
the trouble you make, gurgling deep down in the depths of my mind
I'm sorry,
I can't let go,
That's just me,
but you already know
I trusted you
with everything,
everything you do,
makes it sting,
the wound of our love?
it's scarred right above
Tell me
was it fate
that you built me up on lies
and threw me away
it was like a game to you
I'm caught up in what I thought I knew
but I know nothing now
Past
Present
What’s real and what isn’t
Vibrant colors blend into shades of grey
The same starless nights blacken her face
The same empty bed and distant shadows
that blanket her world in empty silence
The road is rough and long ahead
It stands there still, keeping us from our bed
With the night so cold
And the path so old
We walk with a muteness held in the air
Overcome with a silence of words not said.
Money talks, so do first impressions
I guess she wasn’t impressed by
my words, cheapened by my nervousness
she thought I was one dimensional
Where a beating heart may be
A cold, silent stone lies
Bleeding for none, lying still
For it was long ago that it died
