She may have broken
Into a million pieces
But that doesn't mean
She isn't happy with
How it all ended
Her Skies are colored with
You hold an entire galaxyWithin your eyes.Shooting stars becoming tearsThat run down your face.
Every day was the same from then on. It happened, I couldn’t change it. I tried a different outcome, each walkthrough in my life. Each day I tried to be something more, feel something...different.
Stars that waver in the night
Its cold exterior rippled by the comets shed
The aurora night sky blooms in unknown emotions
The cosmos is all she weeps for
You were happy when I climbed on your lap.
All soft sounds and soft hands and a cheerful, bubbly voice
Nudging my toddling figure away from the patio’s edge.
Vines in between my palms
Clouded the thoughts of an unattainable scheme
Accompany a seemingly harmless pirouette
crashing to the tear soaked floor
Far away in mind but close in heart
The time well spent is more than I could need
Yet I’m still feeling the tears I left on your shirt
As my head lays motionless on top of a soaked pillow
While my empty music fills the void of the room at midnight
Blank eyes illumanted by wrung out lyrics
I know you'll never be there
right in my hour of need
i’m scared.
i’ve been consumed by my selfish wants,
consumed by me craving to hold you,
consumed by dreams of a better reality
i see you in the morning light,
with silver eyes like the hanging moon
i try to look away, but I’m drawn to you
caught in some sort of morning light spell
There is a dark presence that lurks
Within us all
It takes the shape of shadows
Where it can be found is far from the light
Childhood memories, some
Happy and sad. Of
Illness and wellness and
Living with dad. Was
Distanced from others and
Hating it all—now
On with the day. I’m
Destroying the wall.
A letter to humanity,
With every new opening eye, I cry
A new sigh, a new eye
Born into this world
Into the flames of splendor do we find ourselves to be
I didnt realize
What I say can hurt
I didnt realize
What I do affects everyone
I didnt realize
My sorries are Band-aids to knife holes
I didnt realize
My jugements affects more than me
I don't want to feel this pain anymore, I want to go numb
I'm laying on the floor wondering how I could ever I be this dumb
Life is cruel and if you think otherwise, then you're a fool
you saw the stars in my eyesyou heard the ocean in my voiceyou smelled the breeze in my breathyou felt the galaxy in my bodyand the
My Dearest Clementine!
I’m convinced little birds help you dress every morning!
You’re a tall sunflower with petals bright and soft.
Your cheeks are dappled with tawny freckles
For a moment I heard your voice, for a moment time stopped just so I could notice you. You’ve changed so much, it’s clear that everything between us is now different.
My roommate moved out today.
They decided to leave most of their things behind.
Nothing was of much importance though,
Well, except for their pillow.
I put that away in that closet I never use.
Walking thousands of stepsMeasuring footprints left behind Stumbling blocksAnalyzingWalking through slippery roadsDead endsAscending mountains Descending Facing ephemeral seasons
I still see the same faces everyday, but something has changed in yours.
Maybe I'm watching too closely for some sign of you missing me.
Salt is an accessory, not to be consumed aloneBut, salt is bitterShrewd white crystals that should be used in moderationBut I ate too muchClumps grasp at the walls of my throat
Words so sweet never tempted to escape these lipsAs I blow the breezed flowered utterances to youI must ponder in direAre my expressions suffocating?Are my advances tiring?And I must hope in earnest
Little Rowena, I wish you were here.
I remember the first day I met you.
You came out of nowhere and meowed at me.
I would look for you other days but you'd disappear.
You were absolutely endearing and cute.
Biting back tears
Holding in gasps
Choking on sadness
And sorrow
Falling in traps
Knowing it would happen
Faking joviality
But in the end
It was hopeless
Your heart is breaking
You’re focused on the music
I’m focused on my happiness
The two could co-exist
But for some reason you’re not having it
And I keep coming back again
You dont want it to be real, a broken heart... its crazy.... almost unreal.... that pain.... you forget untill your reminded.... of what its like to love and lost....
...its bittersweet, really...
I don't want to think about you
I shouldn't be thinking about you
But I'm still holding on to the memory
Of being held, feeling wanted,
we talk about the moon
and we talk about forever
how we couldn't live
without each other
but im afaid
The rush and slack we make
Constructing our own quake.
The grouch cry to the dawn
skeptick as fate's own pawn
The frill to our own will
To fill in all the thrill
Detainee Nominee
I don't believe in them
Especially when people play the roles
I'm sleep, thinking I’m dreaming them
I met a boy and asked him what he thought of our relationship
tears,
i'll not fucking shed a one,
lock them away,
pretend it's all good,
pretend i'm not leaving a new home to return to the old.
i can't wait to see my family,
sleep in my own bed,
Paradox is the human life
To strife for what is good peaceful
Happiness
However whatever causes it can too cause its opposite
When I feel like I am just playing the part,
I turn and listen to the rhythym of my heart.
Each beat lets me know I am still alive,
Every day I have a reason to strive.
Life has a terrible beauty,
What makes you happy?
A question we all ask ourselves.
A lot makes me happy.
We impatiently waited. Cried, whined, and wimpered.
Wishing school would be over, wishing our teenage years away. But suddenly, here we are.
In the real world. Everything is so real, nothing is like before.
So much time has past since freshmen year,
We've found ourselves and who we are,
Maybe we can leave this place with some cheer,
But we will leave with much, much fear.
Things always change left and right,
When I was born, my mother gave me a pearl
It was flawless and shiny and beautiful and mine
I said good-bye to her
Because I had no choice
My mother dragging me away--
From the only friend I had known.
I said good-bye to him
Because death took him
In the form of a Grim Reaper
I wish I could read your mind like a book,
So I knew what the pages of your life show;
to see you live with rejoice and overcome woe.
I wish I could hear God speak,
Some say love is patient, love is kind.
The sweet goodies you get from romantic,
feelings that you can't always define.
In the meantime, it feels fantastic.
Is it love or is it lust?
Love is oh so bittersweet
Love is happiness
Love is disappointment
Love is trust
Love is lust
Love is countless nights crying yourself to sleep
Love is the joy that another person brings to thee
Filled with rapture and glee,
You were chosen among several;
And now this is your departure from me,
You leaving was only inevitable.
The nature of your leave was filled with sadness.
You live, you die, you laugh, you cry
That is how life goes, but i wonder why
Some say it is like a roller coaster
It takes you to your highs and lows
Others say it is like a journey
Love can be gentle,
Love can be kind,
Love can make people act out of line.
Love can be endearing,
Love can make you complete,
Love can be hopeful, but always bittersweet.
Love can be toxic,
The dawn has risen
Look yonder to the west
Point thy feet that way
Towards thy journey's end
When thou has reached
The rolling waves of blue
Look back
Fault of Destiny
As a female it is destine to endure the pain of feminism. The
curiosity of Eve will forever haunt the innocent. A normal female
The wind in the willow the will o' the wisp
A treehouse down where I used to live
Up in the willow the willow that weeps
Outside the orchard my maple held me
If you asked me my true desire
My tongue would retract and my words would expire
Because when it comes to me and wishes
I won’t deny I’m superstitious
See I'm afraid that what you ask for you'll get
This is a bittersweet love song
between the a heart and the mind
before they became expected to fall
the life they lived and the joy they horaded like good chocolate
What become of the Beauty gone astray?What happens to those who have no time to play?No one sees the Silent agony,and if they could,what would they really see?
A silent killer
A disastrous ghost
we give this to those
who hurt us the most
A beautiful rose
in the scene
forgetting the thorns
that are left "unseen."
Buildings rise to heaven
unconstrained
Leaving the unexplained disappearance of the sun and moon
My boots beat against the dirty, wet sidewalk after last night's rainfall.
Every girl dreams
In sweet sleep
Every boy dreams
In sweet sleep
The dreams are theirs
In sweet sleep
Of a better tomorrow
In sweet sleep
For today was lost
In sweet sleep
I could be classified
Labeled, Deemed, whatever,
As probably insane.
I laugh at this theory,
But some of the surrounding
Facts verify the thought.
A circumstance rises,
And is brought to my mind.
There are these thoughts that enter the realm of my mind
It’s a dark place, my mind.
But somehow it is always en-lightened
by the most sorrowful notion.
