I went back to our memory today.
The bench beneath us was white-washed
With the summer sun
And thousands of transient lovers’
Marks
Start the healing process of getting peace and clarity
Reaching out to friends, family accepting free therapy
I'm learning to accept the idea of being alone
Although still scared of the unknown
A thousand paper cuts cover my fingers,From flipping through the pages of this book.Of our book.The book we wrote together,Page by page,Day by day.
It was 11pm in the beginning of February.
There was a group text. It was like the universe aligned.Months of friendship and flirting,Until you finally won my affection.
i am happy to come out here to talk about Dr Charles how he helped me with my marriage scandal, it wasn't easy for me when my husband left me, i was pregnant at that time life was very had for me i cried my eyes out, i couldn't even tell my family
Let's start over
Take a step back
Reconsider our choices
You still care
You still are there
We might not be together
We aren't really apart
What if we take a step back
We can reevaluate
Of All The Things That I Miss
I miss the nails on the back porch
The worms in the lawn
I miss the stables by your house
I don't want your love songs
I don't want your melody tastes
Everything was a lie and now there's no music
Only silence and emptiness
I confessed to you one morning
Long after the sun had gone down
I'm so tired of being the one that has to be okay all the time
I'm so over being the one that always has to take a deep breath and trek on
I'm tired of wearing a mask for everyone else while I die on the inside
I'm going to start this out like I start everything else I write you
Even though I doubt that you'd ever see this
I swear to God that I'm not mad at all
There is no hate in my heart toward you or anyone
***ADAPTED FROM ORIGINAL LYRICS WRITTEN BY ME***
I'll quarantine my heart
Keep it close but keep it far
From anyone
Who might say they love me
You should have been my cure
Your medicine was never pure
When we feel sparks fly
we hold on for the ride
and that's exactly what we did
acting like carefree kids
Eyes meet, instant chemistry
we forget it's not compatibility
Watching you drive away
was like trying to stop the rain
so I stood there watching
wishing you'd come back
Watching you drive away
was like being ripped in half
I watched you push the gas
A fresh page.
The reinvention
Of a long underappreciated discipline.
Empty miles;
A blank key;
No cardinal in sight.
being without you this past month has opened my eyes to all that i wasn't getting. i was not recieving love or care, nor lust or passion of any kind.
I will always be here for you.
I will be there for the late nights, the early mornings,
the breakdowns and the breakups.
I know you don't love me.
But, could you please just love my name on a screen?
while you are out here, striving and thriving, i am trying to stop myself from continually colliding into you. i wish i didn't love you as much as i do, i wish this was easier for me to articulate.
Short lived
I’m not here for a long time
I’m here for a good time
You had the time, I had the good
Now even the clearest days seem covered in soot
It’s been over 2 years since I’ve seen you
And I still get chills whenever I think about the way your hands grazed my thighs
I feel blinded by the disappointment in myself for not letting you in
You were the breath of fresh air
That I didn’t know I needed
Until we met
I have been so used to suffocating
That I forgot what it felt like to breathe
A new face won’t erase the scars an old face created
Needing sedation after seeing your fingers on the trigger
You can’t put a bandaid over a bullet wound and expect to heal
I haven’t been sleeping well
Tossing and turning
Hurting most when I close my eyes
And see your face taunting me
Haunting me like a ghost
We met when we were eleven.
We had a group of friends,
but they all fell away
one-by-one.
We were the only two that stayed.
We spent our nights baking cakes together
“We need to talk.”
White bay windows overlook the block.
We always closed the blinds up here.
Keeps the neighbors from shock.
You gave me love for one day
I see you constantly and what do you say?
Absolutely nothing
I am told this is the way you are
That you love to be loved and fail to give any
Just like dark clouds
you can tell it will rain
the storm will happen
showering the flesh in pain
It will crash and bang
on everything it may touch
this heavy set of rain
I see his face and her face, I see all the rest
But do you not see the hole in my chest?
I hear his voice and her voice, I hear theirs too
But darling, where's your voice? I only want you.
Dandelions sure do look like flowers
But they're weeds that wilt in just a few hours
To my untrained eye, it looked like a real dollar bill
But a distorted George screamed "Counterfeit" and still
i will never wish for you to come back.
or even to visit.
i will only spare my love and all good energy,
but keep it at a distance.
Nothing hurts more than realizing that as you stood,
Tears in your eyes,
Body trembling,
They stared coldly and lied to your face.
~awatr
It's like a blade that never stops twisting in your heart.
When you fall in love, you fear everything about them.
Their very existence is your foundation.
You love them so madly you're blinded by it.
Sunshine
Don’t go away
It seems as if
You just arrived
Don’t leave me here
I like it better
When you shine around me
It's been one month since I was standing here last.
With this wonderful man hosting.
And a beautiful partner in the audience.
I had written a poem for them.
You taught me what love was when I had lost all hope of finding it.
You filled me with happiness as well as sadness.
I miss you a lot every day a little more but will I ever tell you that
My dearest Zac,
The words spilled out of your mouth
Apologies fell onto the table
Excuses splashed into my coffee so that it tasted like lead when I drank it.
You took the stars I once saw in your eyes
To all young people considering returning to a boy who forfeit his right to be called a boyfriend
I have some advice
Everyone forgets the ocean is cold. You're feeding the void when you let the waves crash against your shoulders.
i thought i loved You
In truth my actions showed my fear of losing You and my want for Your affections
Our love will last foreverLive, laugh, love, done.The end of forever
You kiss with those lips so cleverYour touch on my skin sinks inOur love will last forever
As I stand there amazed
Awe-Struck, and stargazed
Sitting and Staring I get lost in those eyes
She's so beautiful, words can't explain, she is my prize
In every moment I think of her
My coat has missing buttons
It simply will not close
The open coat sends shivers
From my head down to my toes
My coat lost all its buttons
When it caught on something rough
She is everywhere
Even now, I swear she never left
She’s in every car ride
When rock songs play
The echoes of the way she sings
It's in the silence that the biggest problems appear,the quiet, the calmit's so unclear.Not sincere. Not the truthBut not a lie too.
I deleted it. Another one gone too. You don't have time for me? Well this what I'mma do.
Association is the killer The bleeding heart upon my sleeveI don't want to be remembered I just want to up and leave
The memories of you and I explode like fireworks behind my retinas.
I never liked fireworks.
What do I do now?
You're slipping from me, fading
And a part of me somehow
Just watches as you call out to me
Screaming to follow you
Screaming to grab onto your hand
What once was a mirror, is now a window pane
Different photos in the same frame
I'm trapped in this gallery, yet I once was the art
and everyday I wish for a fresh start
but everytime I look it breaks my heart
You must hate
the way
I think about you.
constantly.
Or at least I imagine
and yet you fill my head
potently.
I miss your delicate fingers
singing to my skin
when you filled holes
Dull pain
in your name
such joy
my conversation can destroy
you’re like something
I can see and hear
But not so near.
You are out of touch
with me
Or rather
consume me
with your presense
I am
devoured by your thought
I ache inside
to tell you
but it sits inside like rot
I keep holding on to fragments of you. Shards of possibility glitter with promise.
I feel you slipping through my fingers.
I grip you tighter, cutting myself as you leave my grasp.
My pain stains on your beauty.
At the time I didn't know I needed to hold on.
To the moments.
The memories.
At the time I didn't know I'd miss them.
That I'd want them back.
Thought I could stay,That what I felt as strong enough that I would'nt feel like walking away.Thought I could stop this;All my doubts,But they keep me up at night,Trying to win this ceaseless war,
One of these daysSomeone is going to come alongand break your heart darling,leaving you breathless on the curbas your heart shatters into a million pieces.But what happens nextdefines you as a person.
Empty is more than just my heartIt is the blank pages meant for artThat in your absence I've torn apartTo erase the ending before the start
Today I heard you were still aroundThat you were still in townThat you hadn't yet left for collegeand I don't know how I should feel about thatWe use to spend long nights laughing
You love me,So you have told me before,Would die for me,Love me till the very end,Even marry me.So why am I still your second choice?Why do I still come second to her,
I take a deep breathInhale deepTo keep my tearsKeep all of my unwarranted hurtunwanted angerAt bayDespite the boiling rageThat unexplicit betrayal insideI smiled on the outside
I'm tiredI'm Oh so tiredI don't know if I can take this anymoreIf I can stayIf I can play alongPretend to still be happyThe small upsAre no longer worth the crushing blows
I didn't want it to come to this,Didn't think you would walk away from a love this strong,Thought I could find a way to make you stay,But I suppose that I thought wrong.
“If”
All we do now is just question the feeling
Always thinking the other plans on leaving
I told you my goals a long time ago
You the one to decide to stay or it let go
Listen I loved you,
I love you.
The light in your eyes seemed to fill my empty space.
You were there for everything.
You were my everything.
I tried to be strong and say you could leave.
You called to ask me how I was today
Though the last time we talked I was breaking your heart.
You were yelling and you were crying and you said I was to blame.
Please fall in love with Her
Love the glints of gold in Her eyes and how Her hair brushes across Her face
Love what makes Her smile and laugh
Learn Her quirks, Her dears, Her hopes, Her dreams
Hold Her close
I am scared,
Not of the monsters in the closet
Or the ones under the bed,
But the ones that are in my head
Battling to the death to find an answer
For the sickening cancer growing in our hearts,
Rose colored glasses
Rose coloured glasses
My heart was like the desert, so I always kept a pair
Hoping they would show me your rain
So my roses could grow again
But you were just another sandstorm
Once upon a time,
He once looked at me in my chestnut eyes and told me I was beautiful
He once said the only person that could set his soul on fire was me
I used to say that "love" was not a strong enough word to describe my feelings but that it would do for now.
I could go through the dictionary and look up a hundred synonyms to describe the feeling when I looked at him.
Adore
As I write out my pain, I tell you love's not a game
This heartbreak's driving me insane, slowly numbing my brain
I try not to let it show, but deep inside my sadness grows
"I hope you always find a reason to smile. "-Anonymous
In the events that occurred
I hope you find what you've been missing
four months ago we came to a close,
you came into my room and said "you have a lot of books in here." you ended it,
and we lay for fifteen minutes, with you holding me as i held my tears in.
Did you think I would never find out? I’m not as stupid as you may think I am. Do you feel accomplished yet? I let you in and it backfired on me. Even though it isn’t the first time why do I still want you?
If one isn’t ready for something
Why prepare yourself for it?
You began to follow your heart
Forgot about your mind
And fears
One day you and I will be okay
One day we will have this pain and despair at bay
One day we will realize we made the right choice
The sun beamed down on her.
The warmth calmed her.
She hadn't felt this good in years it seemed.
She felt fine,
But Lord knows she isn't.
Met a guy awhile ago
But lately I thought
he meant the world to me
So if gave him everything
But in the end he left like all the rest
Said he had been thinking for a long time
And he met somebody new
Your smooth hands adorned my ivory curves as though you've never had someone to love and love you back.
You followed the trail of my veins and sent electricity through my joints.
You were beauty and you were madness in both of their truest forms.
I loved you and I liked you until the fated day came when you crushed me under your heel like putting out a cigarette butt.
I been fighting for something that's not there
Waiting on someone who don't care
This love thing just ain't fair
And yeah you say you love me and that you'd always be there
The sunlight burned her little hand
So she closed the curtain
Her legs shook as she took a stand
She needed rest for certain
My skin, the cover of my soul’s pages, is soft
leather binding, knitted together
by the Expert Craftsman,
protecting secrets from
Lord, my God
take these words from quivering lips
as worship
hear my cry
take these tears from searching eyes
And then you said,
"I was shooting for the stars with you"
and that's the moment my heart broke
as I looked straight ahead
away from you
I’m done writing about you.
In the spirit of passive-aggressive stares
and comments from our mutual friends
and constant texts that always say
Just another night Just another night Thinking of you in the star light Without you i cant get through my days So theres no way imma make it tonight I thought of you When i saw a shooting star My wish was you would do the same But its just a shoot
Love
Hate
Broken
I loved you
I hated you
I was broken by you
I loved your smile
I loved your laugh and the way you made me feel
I loved cuddling

is a liar.

you believe that
he wants you;
but behind your
back, he is
glad to see you go.
Happiness
I lay down in bed thinking about what could be going on through your head
Where are your thoughts
Who is in them
How are you feelings
I ask these questions repeatedly as I want to know everything about you
I'm writing because I haven't
I'm writing because today I looked at the poems
I have written in the last year
and they are all written in blood.
"I do not love you" is what I whisper
I love you like a drunkLoves a drinkLike my skinLoves the kiss of a bladeLike my dogLoves table scrapsLike youLove herI love you desperatelyWholelyEndlessly, passionately
I wonder why this doesn't hurt more,
why I don't feel the pain of yesterday,
sitting her wondering where I went wrong.
Did I change?
Maybe it was the scent of the roses.
because that's what you do
to the people you love–
you crush them between your clammy hands that you never let me hold,
you wiggle your fingers to sift through those pulverized remains so that only the big pieces are left
The dim light casts shadows across the room,
softening the sad features her face held,
steadily pacin back and forth,
heart racin, watcha think i'm worth?
did your life take this course from your day of birth
to allow destiny to lead my way to you on this earth?
Your memory is a knife that I will never dislodge from my hollow chest.
Your name tastes piquant like the last sip of vodka from this bottle.
My heart feels empty.
And I'm beginning to realize.
Now it's been weeks since I have shed a tear for "you,"
But tonight I saw a distant memory that carried me away,
Into a deep blue sky of long-past, whimsical dreams
I once shared with a girl I once knew.
I was ok
Before you
Anyway
But you came
And went
Left me standing in ruins
And crying in a downpour
All those attachments I made
Are shredded ribbons
I'm running in endless circles
Like a stupid little hamster
Fully aware
I'm getting nowhere
I just can't let go of you
Knowing you'll
Never
Want me
Is the worst part
We sit together again
'My parents are
Fighting'
I'm being pulled apart
Like a string in
Tug-of war
Offer me your sympathy
Take a little piece of me
Joke with me again
I am a wave
Part of the ocean
Floating high, floating low
And sinking
When I crash
My highs are
So high
I give God
A high-five
My lows are
So low
I'm not even in existence
Walk down the halls again
It's just another day
Boring,
Insignificant
Breathe in, breathe out...
Sigh
Head sunk low
Hands in pockets
I look pretty normal
Maybe a bit down
Buckets of rain poured down from the sky,
as though the angels wept, mourning what was to come.
I found myself lurking outside at school,shrouded in a black hoodie
What I show you is,
Not who I want to be,
But what you want to see.
I aim to please,
Society.
They say to me,
"Be a tall, thin,
Long haired, white teeth,
Light-skinned beauty,
What I show you is,
Not who I want to be,
But what you want to see.
I aim to please,
Society.
They say to me,
"Be a tall, thin,
Long haired, white teeth,
Light-skinned beauty,
Yeah, I quit, so what?
Our team was terrible, it sucked
You could tell from the first games
That weren’t on the same page
I was hitting the ball, getting triples
I have memorized all the break up songs
Cried a thousand times
Remembered your beautiful eyes and face
But…
The memory of what’s behind it
Breaks me up every time
I want to say I love you
How was it so easy to change on me
We use to be so deeply in love
That when you were sad,
I cried
When I was hot ,
You Sweated
When i thought,
You reacted
If you had an enemy
Me and You
I was your love and you were my babe
Sounds cliche and cheesy but why not hun
Just a couple of kids who secretely liked the other for years
But this was not known until recent
I want to know if he kisses her the way he kissed me.
If he sighs at the touch of her lips.
If he moans with the sway of her hips.
The problem is,
I know he does.
Broken
I can help it; I can focus on other things
But it seems I’m self possessed on creating love.
It’s a vague light, opaque at best and maybe because
I need things to be perfect
It's 12 am and I'm starting to realize that I literally want no one else but you and I only want to touch and draw on your skin and I only want your hands on me and I only want to comb my fingers through your hair and I only want your lips to e
One day you were there
By my side
Hand in hand
Than one day you left
No words were spoken
you
Were
Gone
Waiting for you
Hoping someday
You'll return.
The glow and look in your eye.
A shock of excitement from your smile.
Spread of warmth from those delicate hands
Maybe even a stride in your walk
If you really care
Why don't you ever play fair?
You make up reasons to fight
And that's not right
So please shut up and listen
And stop your temper tantrums and glisten
I never refused yor request
please dont ask me to
write about our love
or about us at all
because i can only
write poetry
on the things that kill me
and if you want a
poem from me
You didn't tell me you
loved me
in so many words
but in the way you
looked at me
and held me
you didn't tell me
goodbye
in so many words
man my minds a train wreck so explosive but nobody knows what's going on cuz I show no emotion. I don't feel the need to tell people my problems.simply because my problems are my problems.
My heart was once your home.
Lucky for the girl who have your heart now
Lucky, for she finally captured what was once mine.
Be happy, I know you already are.
I want to be happy for you
To all wounds of the heart,
Time is the antidote.
Designed like a coat
Soothing the pain as it impart
It is nonpareil
It understands what you want
As time acts more than a confidant
I guess I should write about love and
Happy endings.
Like the way the sun shines and each
New beginning.
Or how amazing the light is at each sunset
And sunrise.
Or that rush of emotion you get from each
Four years.
Four years and you're letting go,
not me.
I desired to keep you.
Like the folded up piece of paper that you placed in an envelope and sealed with your
wax kisses.
When I used to look in the mirror, I would see
A girl who struggled, but yet was sometimes pretty.
I struggled with my relationship with my family.
Although they clothed, fed, housed, and spoiled me,
Today the song came on the radio
And I sang along
But I can’t forget when you sang with me
And I can’t forget how things ended
I want you to know I don’t hate you, I’m not mad
You told me forever,
But now you are holding her hand.
You held my like I was your world,
But now all alone I stand.
You kissed my like you were scared to lose me,
But now you laugh with out me.
I'm so sick of pretending like I'm fine
Like I'm okay with the way
My life has been
Like I'm cool with the fact
I thought about what it would be like
Without you.
I thought about how that would change me
For flowers bloom and trees root
With the beckoning of spring,
And the chills of winter
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to say whatever you want without ridicule?
Or maybe you want to do physical things like grabbing a can without issue.
People say that she's perfect.
All I can say is they're right.
I can't believe I have her,
No matter how hard I try.
Far above what I've dreamed.
Ultimately out of reach.
Raindrops on my window
Teardrops on my cheeks.
The pain is so strong that it is sinking in.
I thought about calling you and pouring my emotions out, but there is so much to say I would have to shout.
i love you because you make me happy
i hate you because you left
i love you because you make feel secure
i hate you because you have him now
i love your smile
the way you say my name
i love you because you make me happy
i hate you because you left
i love you because you make feel secure
i hate you because you have him now
i love your smile
the way you say my name
Her alarm goes of and she hits it with all her strength
Her bed is soaked from the night before
She gets her favorite jeans and matches it with her favorite shirt
I often find myself wondering if
a rhythm could be ever be placed
alongside these poems about missing
you and the way i felt lying on my back
in the soft grass while lighntning bugs
Times like this I wish the raindrops outside would pause for a moment. As my heart slows and I lay in silence.
Cool autumn day spent
Sun setting
Sick with regret.
Disintegrating will
In overwhelming quiet
Departure inevitable
Pressing together
Embracing the future, skeptical
You make my heart dropmy mind stoptime for a place swapto see who’s top
Make it all endthat’s what I reccomendmaybe it’ll mendmaybe we can pretend
How do you think an angel is born?
When she fights to be pure and perfect
When she tried to be just for you
To stitch on her wings
Turned to the mirror to see
Needle through her own flesh
Can we build that sand castle the wind blew,
Or fill the bottles we drained?
Will you help me piece these halves to two,
Or is this ending here to stay?
you caught me like a
dream, tangled in the beaded
threads of your feathered
web, your dreamcatcher
holding my spirit in a
cage of promises.
you kept me like a
this is the sound of
your razor-blade betrayal
shredding through my trust.
there is nothing like
the bittersweet sting of your
honey-coated lies.
this is how it felt
My mind wonders,
My thoughts are twisted,
These ideas in my head
Are strung together
With memories and emotions
I'm unable to comprehend.
Lying in bed looking down to you,
Leafless branches obscure my vision.
They block out so much more than
The frilly obscenities that blossom
From flora of the fowl.
The sterling silver and stripped car,
with the squealing high pitched sound.
May it break on a back road away very far
and leave him stranded, never found.
The boy who tried that morning to hit me,
I’m no good at making choices so I let my hands do the talking,
Blocking my heart from letting out what its been calling.
My back is pinned in so tight I can no longer feel my heart beat,
I read your words and my heart starts to bleed.
How can I sing your song, if you are all I need.
Now that you're gone, and never look back,
We were friends back, years ago
Back When She was a awkward nerd and my hair was nappy.
Now We're all grown up, reunited,
And All I want is to make her happy.
I break away from you,
So I can live my life.
I don't know what I'm going to do,
Perhaps just try to survive.
I'm able to do as I want and my voice will be heard,
Because now I am as free as a bird.
A teddy bear is such a childish thing, and yet, it can evokeso many memories. One look at its small grey hoodie reading “I heart U,” takesFranklin to a new level, both place and item,
I look out the window at the quiet absence,
In the stillness of a dull summer night,
I smell the chlorine in my hair as I bite its frail ends.
Its sunny color washed out by the moonlight,
Oh Dear Romeo
I am quite happy not having you lay beside me
It has been months without the want of another companion
It all just stopped
I forgot the time
In fact Romeo,
The adolescent flair once abandoned
Now is the critically acclaimed charm
In the Fantasty Castle
Occupied via a more deserving owner.
So why did I attempt to perform ethically
True luv doesnt hurt intentionaly, reality is abuse always hurts~ Fist or words the damage is the same. I can forgive the pain of ur fist faster than ur words. None i'll ever forget, foolishly most i'll forgive.
When I hear the wind blow
I hear you voice, your name
No one will ever know
How much it drives me insane
With every thought of you
My heart hurts more and more
I don't know what to do
maybe it's better this way
maybe my self respect will transition from an oak
relying on your rain
to a cactus
growing toward her sun
because i know she won't be bitter
Invisible scars that aline her armTransparent bruises that do no harmMake up covers those nasty scarsLook at her now and look how far
I'll remember this next time,
Next time I won't fall so hard.
Next time I won't cry...
Next time.
I'll remember this next time,
Next time I won't step up so quick,
Next time I won't ask...
I know that we've barely met,
but I've got feeling I don't regret.
I never really believed in love at first sight,
but now I'm glad I can call you mine
You are my inspiration.Let these words hit you hard.Harder than any truth revealedin the lyrics that run through your head.I cared for you - that's as simple as it gets.I overcompensated for something
The single rose that an apologetic young man
rudely plucked away from a shrub.
Along his aspiring excursion up her fire escape
apon her window seal.
Rueing for making her heart twinge with regret
My love my love
Look only at me
My love my love
You belong with me
When your gone, I can't stand the silence
I go insane.
My love my love
Stay with me
My love my love
Love is like a candle.
At first it burns bright,
And then it dims,
And then goes out.
Just like a candle.
And all that's left is a broken, melted, burning, oozing pile of melted wax.
He was my bandaid. I was his confidant. He was fun in bed. I was scared of becoming attached. He was my friend and potential lover. I was an experiment. He made me feel sexy and beautiful. I made him climax. He lied about wanting more.
I used to ache for you to know me.For you to wonder about my depths and reason, For you to fall into my cracks and find pieces of yourself you never knew you lost.I used to wish to hear those words drip from your lips,
For that which love does say
And whisper rather than shout
Only to cause some fray
Then leave both sides to pout
Love lasts long only when it wants to
Often it breaks to become an empty shell
Maybe one day we can lay there and count all the stars Not having one worry about life behind closed bars
I promise someday we'll catch every star and one day we'l reach for the moon
My bones hurt as they hit the bed.
My stomach empty like a bitter morning from a nightmare.
My tears burn as they meet my face.
The rumbling in my heart scares me as it pounds me down.
How many times will I
hear the same story of a
girl who saw a boy and
fell in hopeless, mournful love?
How many times will I
when our faces were close and our mouths stillclumsyyour broken tooth always reminded me that I wasalive.and now I hear you are getting your front-right-tooth filled in because
He left me half dead you know?
He left me a drained girl who had drank from his love for well over a year.
He left me hungry for love and affection for comfort and heat.
I feel for you my dear,
I do.
He fooled us all.
When he took his vows as only words,
and broke all of our hearts.
And the son you bore him,
will never know married parents.
Take me.
Take me back.
I miss you quite terribly.
I miss watching movies,
teasing each other,
laying on my couch,
holding your hands.
I miss all of the times that made me fall in love with you.
When I hear of a hurricane,
that is when I will think of you.
A force that drove me insane,
and a little senseless too.
I admit I didn't love,
how easily you caught my eye.
I watched you walk away,
because what more could I say?
I watched you as you left,
I swear you caused my death.
I watched you with someone else,
because this is what I caused.
I caused it all.
Together as one is a misconception,
This person instills in you.
Outwardly projecting ones own self,
Onto the people that love them most.
Their infinite ability to inflict,
Such damage to you and,
I am a different person because of you.
You were the lies to all my truths.
The deception to all my honesty.
The hate to all my love.
The insensitivity to all my feelings.
The lack of empathy to all my pain.
As you turn away all you can see is her face.
Your feelings you've previously had about her slowly fade as the color in the sky turns from
blue to grey.
Tears are pleading to escape but there's nowhere to hide.
He wasn’t the first, and wouldn’t be the last.
Once again I put my heart on the line.
I didn’t think about what you would go through,
I wanted him, I needed him.
Within two weeks I was alone again,
The memories she chokes onHave her sprawled out on the floor.A grimace gentle lips don.Wrenching sobs make dear souls sore.
Back to normal,
where the day had opportunity
and a kiss waiting.
Comfort and forgiveness
became a blanket that cloaked all
imperfections.
Now all that is left
is
I used to think we could be one of two things--
friends, or strangers
But I've come to the realization that it MUST be the latter
I am so incredibly attracted to you
And I can't help myself
Blinded by the prettiest eyes I've ever seen,
Just had to compliment, not to be mean.
Blue color unlike anything I've known,
Stunned by the beauty, it clearly shown.
Held hostage by your glance, Baby Blue,
They say I need closure, that my heart will be at peace
I just look at them like naw I got too much pride to speak
Heart shattered piece by piece will have that effect
So I guess this is how it’ll be
The street lights look like dandelions tonight.
It's light is dancing in your eyes.
The cold rushes through us.
Bringing me and you closer.
Making our cold hearts warm.
we didn’t start off as the hours on the phone type.
both of us were completely comfortable in our own awkward silence.
time was spent doing nothing most days.
but it became something when beside her.
There is nothing worse
Than the feeling of being replaced
Not good enough
You left when things got tough
And I really can't blame you
I would leave if I could too
You think you’re so cool
Breaking up with me by phone
I’m sorry but obviously
You don’t know the definition of gentleman
You think you’re in the zone,
Taking girls on dates in private jets
If I left yesterday
Would you miss me
Today
And forget me tomorrow?
If I started running
Would you chase me
Bring me back
To the lie of your arms
As the touches cease the scent is dispersed. The feeling hard to find. Walking only over traces; debris from what was left behind. Body frozen and unable to get back to that heavenly place. Trying to live without, only to see memories jogging.
My Goddamn wounds are beautiful
My wounds are beautiful.
When it rans here I think the clouds must miss you as much as I do and
I'm broken.
"Go away," the guard says to him.
But he begs and flatters his way in any way.
He looks around, beaming at all the shining pieces.
He picks them all up, pouring out complements as he goes.
Verse 1
My mind's a cynic
This heart a fool
I must be crazy
to be loving you
I never got over
Our little games
And the stupid love song
I'd used to play
The end of school is soon,
But yet I don't want to say goodbye.
When the clock strikes noon,
I feel as if a part of me will die.
The taste in your mouth that lingers and trudges, has no adulation for you any longer.
The taste that's withers your tongue and scolds your cheeks shares the same name as I.
Your erotic lips and animalistic eyes
Honestly I can’t get a grip on my words or what I’m trying to say,
Every photo in this gallery looks at me in a different way,
Hundreds of thousands of girls in this world couldn't make me feel, the way
Think back….
Can you remember houses made of cardboard boxes
Out of which came your parents’ new furniture from ikea
Do you remember changing your names
My darling, I must warn you
that my heart is an egg, and
I have glued it together since
the last time it was dropped.
You may claim it - you may
hold it in your hands, and
trace the mended seams with
when did you do it?
when did you steal my heart?
and how?
you must of tricked me,
trapped me,
lured me
and fooled me--
like prey.
I cannot share a space with you, for you know all my secrets.
The silence sings and screeches of unspoken truths between us.
You exhale skeletons on your breath, hot and thick with knowing.
i told myself i’d fix him
show him that killing isn’t his path
but he’s psychotic and poetic
i guess i didn’t do the math.
Driving’ in his car, its amazing how the wind flows through the room.
I couldn’t stop getting butterflies touching him. Why couldn’t it last for so long?
I couldn’t help but to say goodbye.
