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
engrossed while guarded
squirming through smiles
we peddle concrete lies,
unload them on the plate.
words drop stillborn
like some laughable miscarriage.

Oh my sweet boy
You who were once my morningstar
Far away and too far gone
Lost amidst the endless sea
Drowning you with each crushing wave
Shall I speak to you my secrets
in hushed and airy tones
near the warmly-lit fire?
Sweet taste of nectar and honey
you praise me and forget yourself.
How this narrative reminds me of one such time
She’s the perfect girl
Beautiful, Smart, and Kind
Can get pretty irresistible at times
I just need some time
To pray to the lord
To make this soul so divine
I’m bored at home
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
You weren’t storm, but hurricane
They’ll name them all after you now
Through my rose colored glasses
Your clenched fists looked like hands to hold
Just one short embrace
Enough to make me crave more
You walk far away
I can't seem to remember
A time you were here with me
There was once a moment
Where I was blinded by city lights, trampled by tall towers,
stepped on by city streetwalkers,
And all of it seemed so small in comparison.
He was born Sophia.
But it doesnt fit him, and that name is as dead as the flowers I have pressed in my journal.
Always there, a reminder, what I have to call hm in front of his mom.
The concept of abstract thought
Is so unfathomable, that in our own perspective
We can fathom it
Can picture it in our mind's eye and clutch it like the last life line of a sinking ship
Liber watched the humans from above,
Wishing she could feel their love.
So she descended from the sky
Her beauty made the mortals cry.
Her face is like the midnight sky.
The whites of her eyes are half moons,
and the stars escape when she cries.
I hope she doesn''t anytime soon,
but I've tagged her with graffiti constellations,
He plans meticulously.
She smiles with the warmth of a thousand ancient fires,
and her eyes twinkle to rival Venus in the night sky.
Whose maze was he in?
Love to be longed for,
thinking it existed no more.
He builds up my hopes,
then tears down my dreams.
Never knowing how much,
to me, he really means.
He sits so close,
but the silence turns the inches into miles and
every slight noise causes an avalanche in my chest
as I wait for him to say something.
Anxious Reticence.
I have changed so much.
Heart Breaking
Tear Inducing
My world stopped when you left
Sleepless Nights
Numb Feelings
I couldn’t pick myself back up
I wanted to forget
I wanted to stop existing
All together
You would think after dating someone for a whole year that you would know what to get them for your one year anniversary.
365 days of talking almost every day and I still sometimes forget the simple things
Strong arms and even stronger abs
A smile that could make the sun himself so drab
Eyes so piercing that they gaze into my soul
This was my idea of ‘boyfriend goals’
Then college comes
She came around the corner
As I stood on my phone
My eyes met hers and I was no longer alone
We talked for hours in that side street cafe
Until they kicked us out to close for the day
What love is not
Love is not cynical
Love is not unkind
Love is not controlling
Love is not blind
Love does not harm
Love does not boast
Taking the plunge without knowing
What was waiting
When this love was done growing.
It was my first time dating,
And I had no idea how good it would be.
I told another lie today
I pretended I was well
Covered the bruises, hoped they'd fade
Because you told me not to tell.
Though I whispered, "please stay"
I want it to be over,
I lie in bed every night,
The guilt seeps into my dreams,
Someday they'll catch you,
And I'll be waiting,
Gripping smoldering justice,
Like a loaded gun.
I'm eternally conflicted,
She submerged deep into the depth of her kindness,
Her naivety drowned her, strangled her.
She couldn’t complain, she had done it to herself after all.
Betrayal, disgust, and irritation,
Fingers frozen to keys .
I fall in love with hands .
I care not for faces , breasts, genitalia
All I need are your hands.
In a stereotypical patriarchal society,
I would soon have wifely duties
and keep my mouth shut.
How boring.
"Your poor boyfriend," they say
because I remind him, in the future,
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.
A bird who loves his cage and his view of the tree
Is still a bird in captivity
The loveliest of cells still has the power to derange
I wanted so desperately to be free
The tempting breezes to leave me be
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
You didn't want me
You wanted to be wanted
You wanted someone's world to revolve around yours
You wanted constant attention
And reassurance
And sympathy
You wanted me to make you feel better
To all the boys that loved me
I can never imagine a world where Deja's vu didn't exist
you've become recycled news paper using tired headlines to draw out old editions
Like I drug I was addicted
I couldn't see that you were vindictive
Using me to get back at her
Shattering my fragile heart like a mirror
Freezing over from the coldness of your heart
Love is like a rose, maybe that's why roses are givin' to loved ones on special occasions
Such as; Valentine's Day, anniversaries, special events, and sometimes just to say I love you.
"Did you see me calling?", you say
I have an excuse for everything,
you hate that
"There must be another reason for this,
you not picking up the phone"...you say
Maybe I just want to be alone
You told me to delete your number
I did that
The fact that we stopped talking
Ended up with us walking
Away from each other
But I didn't care one way or another
It was over
another relationship
another breakup
today, our one month anniversary
she breaks up with me
after isolating herself for days
blaming me
not even trying to fix things
Is it love, my love?
When you look upon me with your lustful eyes,
Is it lust, my love?
When you show me high respect,
Is it love, my love?
When our toungues are tied together,
Is it lust, my love?
I could get lost in the beatuy of your eyes
Compare the, to the beatuy of nature
Crystal blue lakes, perciuos gems
I could say they remind me of home
Of feeling safe
Call your eyes bright as the stars
i am sorry
i am sorry if you confused me for home
usually flowers do that too.
i dont blame you for doing that
i dont blame you for throwing words into the sky
You can't tell me that you ever cared about me or my feelings when the one time I sleepily told you I loved you (on accident), you told me that I didn't
I think I'm falling in love with a ghost, dear,
I think I'm falling asleep.
I see him on the edge of my vision,
singing me soft lullabies with ethereal beats.
The ghost's eyes peer out at me,
Dear ------ -----:
"You just have to say it. Tell him. Trust me, you'll feel better."
I wonder if it's really that easy.
Think you're all that
Grab a girl and plant a kiss
and say you can't help cheating
Here they all come rushing back
This one this one
is mad at you now
cause you went and kissed the new girl
Do you think about me the way I do about you?
Do you reminisce about the past we once shared?
I await the day when I can hold your hand again and smile because of our love
Do you think about me, too?
Dear Sasha,
Today I walked along the edge of the harbor
In Medemblik, the Netherlands,
With my grandmother's arm in mine.
I noticed a boat among the others
That looked like nothing extraordinary
To my ex-lover,
or, perhaps, “lover” is too generous
You were my friend first, and then we were more.
And even though we lost contact, we came back to each other
I see your shirt,
I see you in it,
Then back out of it again.
Every night I end up in the same place,
At the bottom of the hole that you dug for me.
You are the closest image of home I have ever encountered. I buried my secrets into your crumbling foundation. My truths filled the holes of your cracking backbone. You loved it; more so you needed it to survive.
Dear Aunt Cathy, this was my day
It started in an unusual way
My alarm rang, it screamed and it blared
Nobody else in my family cared
It was my own job to shut off that thing
my heart runs fast
but the bile in my throat deepens
you make me sick to my stomach
and my stomach sick to it’s stomach
your laugh resonates in my head
You bit me when I was tenderbecause you knew i was easy prey.Knowing i would fall weak at the knees on the cogency of your wordsKnowing I was soft as the petals scattered on the bathroom floor.
I no longer wake up to the “26 reasons why you love me.”
Do you remember the bright red poster you made me?
Red was your favorite color.
To whom I have yet to forgive,
You left me depressedYou left me undressedYou left me caressedAnd of course, what's left
Abused and usedI hope you're amused
run to the water
to the shower
the river
the ocean
to rinse
to cleanse
the dirt
left on my flesh
but the dirt is far from brown
its blue
its purple
its tender
To all young people considering returning to a boy who forfeit his right to be called a boyfriend
I have some advice
i called.
as i listened to my phone ring-
going once, going twice-
it stopped; my heart did, too.
for a moment,
i thought you had answered.
but then, oh, but then, there goes the ringer,
Today I let go,
I move pass this,
No longer feeling like I need you,
The apology isn´t going to change the past,
So I forgive you..
After all the lies,
I forgive you.
You taught me to fear
You taught me to worry
You taught me fake love
You taught me to drink away the pain
You taught me I was ugly and worthless
I am not lessYou are not moreThough we may fussIt’s each other we’re for. When the moon risesI take you on adventures,You bring me surprisesThey all become treasures. You, me, we are forever,You say “I can count on you,”.You say when we’re togethe
let me tell you the story
of a boy who wasn’t man
enough to love.
it goes something like:
because i love you…
i can’t be with you.
What is love?
Is it just a word to say?
Is it a belief I can use just to get my way?
Is it the voice inside your head that says, “Because of me, the verbal abuse is okay."?
“Dating is a chain in which two or more people gather in an enjoyable, consensual romantosexual relationship.”
That is what the textbook’s stating
But let me tell you the reality of dating
Now, don’t get me wrong
I love you.I can bite, and I can heal your every wound.I can make you cry with silent screams or smile with good intent.
I. Just. Love. You.
No words in the world are more true
People say that I want many things
Maybe a dress and maybe a ring
That I ask too much
I should love for a touch
“Because I love you”
is not an apology
is not a ball and chain
is not an excuse.
It is a truth.
It is a reason.
It is a motivation.
When it is sincere
And pure
#BecauseILoveYou
It’s cool and early in the morning
And the sun is peeking over the horizon
I slip on my shoes
And skip down the front steps
The Teller
I looked in your eyes, but I just couldn’t see
A glimmer of hope reflect back to me
The hours we spent the laughs we cashed in
But the bank closed at 5 and it’s a quarter till 10
It teaches you who you are
And shows you what you’re becoming
The foundation
To healthy relationships
So that you’re not left there stumbling
There’s only one person I’ve ever fallen in love with
Sisters-
If a man ever pleads
with you, saying, "It's
what all guys do
to girls," it is
your job to tell him
but one thing:
be different.
See the girl balancing there
Upon the rickety pedestal you built for her
Holding her aloft when she is afraid she might fall.
But she loves you
So she stays;
For one does not know the meaning of love
Until one has fallen captive
For now, they think of only the other
And how it all had happened
They built me up,
And knocked me down,
Over
And over
And over
And over.
A cycle of trying to impress,
A man lies in bed,
Thinking of life,
And the name of that idea
Was the one of his wife.
He smiled as he picked up his pen,
Writing in his book,
And the way he stroked his pen
A man lies in bed,
Thinking of life,
And the name of that idea
Was the one of his wife.
He smiled as he picked up his pen,
Writing in his book,
And the way he stroked his pen
Love is not tears
Manipulation or jeers
Nor is it lies and coercion.
Love does not hurt
“Because I love you, you should stay.
You should ignore whatever they’ve told you.
I love you, don’t listen to them.
I know I hurt you.
A heart is as big as you want it to be
Say it again?
A heart is as big as you let it grow like wool on a sheep.
Hearts are fragile and can't prepare theirselves.
Mostly, it's the brain doing the work.
It’s been a year:
365 days,
8760 hours,
A full rotation around our star.
I left you on the pier:
A boat filled dock,
You don’t judge me for my flaws, you take them into appreciation and pause
It may be the way you look at me or the way you make me feel
But inside I’m certain that you help me heal.
It is because of this,
When we moved from Missouri to Oklahoma state We did not have a place of our own on that dateAnd so some local church members offered their guest house to us on a loan
My body is cold.
My fingers, frostbitten and blue.
The hairs on my arms protrude upwards, bumps litter my sugary skin.
I see each breath I take fogging the air and the window in front of me.
How did this happen?
The odds
Astronomical
The chances
Celestial
Seven billion lives
Beginning, ending, colliding
And I find you
And you find me
How
How
How
I am sorry, it is time for me to depart
I have seen the person that you really are
Yet, he wishes for me to stay
Pulling the same trick just so I stick around for another day
“I do it because I love you,”
He will say when he goes through your things.
“It’s not because I don’t trust you,”
He will tell you, but he enjoys the fights that his actions bring.
A friend just asked me If I like anybodyAnd that one question Brought back memories of another time when That question ha
To find my true loveable princess,
I'm told is a probable success.
All of the dates I must try,
And all without being shy,
But she now wears a mundane housedress.
Because I love you
Means giving up time
Means listening well
Means a heart that rhymes
Because I love you
Means an earlier shower
Even blind eyes recognize real lies,
Her real eyes soon and surely realize,
That these guys can't provide,..
what their boasting and bragging describe,
When you wake up and snuggle into our pillows
Your smile when we see after a long time
How you hide your face when we are called lovers
I can feel that it's going to rain
Yet I don't reach for an umbrella
It's the calm before the storm that I really love
Yet our storm has already happened
And now it's the after affects that haunt me

When we met, I loved you.
And when we grew, I lost you.
I missed your call earlier, and it was okay.
You didn't repeatively call, to "make sure I was OK"
I was busy doing homework, and you caught me off guard with "I understand"
You should be with the one you love,
As love is what matters to the one above,
Society in which is scattered; would bunch together if our hearts came as one,
Oh society holds us apart,
But why?
Summer time, crisp hot air, beautiful blue sky, and calmness,
Heart damaged along with a wall built up the highest; trying to forget,
Walking to the corner store to get some drinks,
"Because I love you"
Doesn't mean it's okay
For me to do as you say.
The phrase "because I love you"
Should only be used to express
An act of love, of gratitude; it must not be used as a screw.
The reason that I love you is simply very clear,
'cause when I am around you I can feel no fear.
Enfolded in your arms, warm in your embrace,
all of my troubles I know I can face.
Since you are my darling and my dear
Help me understand.
I must know.
I cannot comprehend why you beat him down knife in hand.
You tell them you regret him,
What is love
Love is a chemical reaction
Love isn’t black eyes and bruised cheeks
Love is gentle caresses and soft kisses on Sunday mornings
I can tell
By looking at you
This is love
You like the Broncos
I like the Colts
You are outgoing
I’m an introvert
You have an Xbox
I have a Wii
But, still, we work perfectly
I know what an abusive relationship is,
Its not always physical,
Though sometimes it is,
I saw it in the eyes of my friend who was raped by her boyfriend,
she worried about him
as his family drama drew his cigarette closer
as the smoke filled his lungs, time kept getting slower.
as the aroma of nicotine filled the air, she could feel and smell his hurt and despair.
When I used to sleep at nightMy mind would always take flightIn the morning I'd wake up and you'd just take flight I can't stand to in my sightYea ain't nothin rightAbout you and me Us and theyHe and she ain't shit All I want to do is loveWhy can
Everything you say starts with, “Because I love you.”
But you don’t. You never did.
If this was love, you wouldn’t say everything
Is always my fault.
Even silence is ecstasyYour heartbeat in my ear, a steady drum.Monumental or minimal calamitiesUntil my breathing levels,your fingers comb my hair. Your hand in mine, a rushed societal defianceBut you are unabashedly in love.Fierce pride in your
“Because I love you.”
Multiple definitions
For words so loving.
“Because I love you.”
Manipulative gestures
Deep inside is where it hides,
I tried and cried but on the outside im bright,
People don't seem to notice my painful tears
my broken heart and a worthless thoughts,
I tried loving you with everything I had
love is patient,
it is also kind
it can be hopeful and sometimes scary,
but it can also be evil
it is selfless, maybe selfish
love is an experience
it can be everything you ever hoped it would be
You shudder at the thought of me wanting someone else.
Yet the thought of you drifting won't quell.
Even if you get board of dragging an oar
over this water of uncertainty
I have faith that you wont jump ship,
Beauty and the Beast may be
A tale as old as time,
But when adding in apps like Tinder, we see
How it fits the modern dating paradigm.
The prince spent his night
Mindlessly swiping right
Your fingers trace my skin,
like a pencil on a map.
Slowing down over my edges,
like a car on a mountain.
I never know where your journey
will take you.
I just hope
I am there to see it.
Do you remember the night that guy told you that you were the eighth wonder of the world? Why can’t you see yourself like that? Why do you insist on repeating the words of the past in your head countless times a day?
Will I ever find a boy
who loves me as I am?
But how long will it last
before the beast inside reveal?
Can I learn to tame
before time makes its mark
We were kids turning pages,
in a couple year long love story
and it ended pages ripped,
i'm sorry.
My starry eyes didn't last, dear diary,
I kept them waiting, then left them
I wake this morning
to my surprise
someone is there
the World in his eyes
Am I dreaming?
Thoughts rationalize
I fell asleep here
Brain replies
Who is this one
The thunder; it roars in the night resembling my stomach,
for which I haven't ate a thing in days.
Staring at my food, picking around it with my fork.
The wind seems to blow cold sharp shards into my skin.
how dare youplunge your fingers into me,reach in through the skin,and brush my heart.
and how dare youpull back, empty-handed.
Why does it hurt so much?
The words that fled your mouth
into my ears
still linger in my brain.
And the promises you made,
the hope you fed me
and the lies I gobbled up,
gullible child I am,
When I was thirteen,
I knew exactly who
I was going to marry.
He would be tall,
and strong,
with black hair
and even blacker eyes.
He would be my protector.
It feels like I’ve never been alone before.
Obviously I have, but that was so many years ago.
I grew comfortable, you were a huge part of my life.
Although, you were the part of my life that held me back.
And then,
there was silence.
You were just a memory.
Your voice,
your words,
your face,
your smile.
I murdered you.
I made absolutely sure.
I jammed the knife right through
The piece of my heart
In which you had chosen to dwell.
It's alright, I justified,
The act was clearly self-defense,

Papered Love Poem
999.
1 more and peace.
Half over half, color side up.
1 more and peace.
I remember when realized,
Our favorite song was the same.
I felt like you had looked at me,
And seen right through my brain.
You hold my face while kissing you,
Your eyes they look so deep.
Thanks to you
I was left feeling blue.
You finally gave me a chance
To get out of your trance.
Thanks to you
I was left without a "how-to"
I didn't know how to move on
Well, your arms are strong as tides,
But you sway her like the wind
You breathe me in like ocean currents,
Why is it that I can sense a snake in the grass and will run in the opposite direction
but when I felt you inching closer and closer to me I watched you like a National Geographical special, a child mesmerized by the carnival rides
There are minimal downsides to being a Poet,
But one of the few is that it's difficult to simultaneously be One
As well as the girl you want me to be.
It's difficult becuase we'll be in English class,
This year has passed just like all the others
It's last moments a whisper, before it joined it's brothers
On his deathbed, I spoke to my old friend
While we both knew that he would never mend
Never have I ever been so happy
Warning: this poem may be really sappy
Goodness, I love you
The way you sometimes look at me
Like I am all you can see
When you smile and your eyes twinkle
His hair spills around his face like a halo of curls His eyes are dark and careless and captivating They are black holes and I am falling, falling in His laugh sounds like a waterfall Rushing out Spilling out When he laughs his whole body laughs S
Today is the day
I have a date today
With a guy who just seems great
He is just like me in countless ways
We have the same order at Subway
July 22 2016
I never thought that I would cross the colour line
It wasn’t about being pro Black it was about being pro Love
He had been poison in her veins
And she was insanity to his brain
They made each other sick
Whether it was the with love kind
Or felt bonded to a contract they'd signed
Knotted by promises
Profile: Hello!
I enjoy literature, comic books,
And nerdy T.V. shows.
I like to swim, dance, hike, and draw.
My name is Ariel.
Love is like on coming traffic, you have no control over it. You don't know what is going to happen next or how it will impact you.
Teasing me all day, driving me crazy in your special way.
Now the anticipation is driving me crazy I can hardly wait.
Finally the time has come for us to be as one.
As I layhere in bed waiting for you,
He made everything better
I don’t know how he did it and I don’t think he did either
He could help me through anything
"I hope you always find a reason to smile. "-Anonymous
In the events that occurred
I hope you find what you've been missing
You’d been with her for eight years.
And you wonder why I can’t always be with you emotionally.
eight years is nothing to a couple months.
She knows everything about you and she was your whole world for eight years.
I’d try to find you in the stupidest places,
I’d be watching a movie and find you,
I could find you in the street lights,
or reflecting off the lake,
or in the smoke that pours out of my cigarette,
They stopped saying goodbye.
The kisses, laughs, and shared moments disappeared without warning.
“I found someone else,” she whispered.
“I know,” he said back.
She got up and left.
First came love like a roaring fire,
Burning intensely with flames only getting higher.
The roses were bought out of a love so deep.
I stayed up all night missing precious sleep.
My heart was a sacred garden. Your stare was the rich soil. Nurturing kisses became the water. Your voice was my everlasting sunshine. My lilacs began blooming into purple rays. Illuminating. Glowing. Weeping. Falling.
Another smile, another tear,
Another kiss, a lot more fear,
Another hit, nothing is clear,
Another memory that will last for years.
Another heart that has been broken,
Another wound that has been opened,
You say that you only want someone for Summer
and it ends when fall comes with change of color
Oh darling do you see my face?
and I can't stand to let it go to waste
My love , we are but like two doves
You creep into my mind
And it's like I can't be sane without you.
You kept me high all the time.
Your touch was so intoxicating.
All I want is to have you in my arms again
And hear your voice next to my ear.
All you do is hurt me.
Your actions are evil and so are you.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be free.
You are so abusive and beastly.
Before you date somebody with amental illness, you must rememberthat calling them beautiful willnot adjust their brain's chemicallevels. Sweet words do not reversesickness that plagues the mind
Putting her on a pedestal makes you a fool.
Lust only lasts for so long, so take time for yourself so you don't get stuck in the wrong.
Return to your interests instead of what controls you.
My hunger survives off your belligerent smile, as it puts the blazing sun up in my sky
It's those nonsensical possibilities you whisper which floods my being with your eyes
How do you know
When you’ve outlived
Your welcome?
I’ve always been distant
Never right in front of you
If I weren’t anchored to this body
I didn't love you normally,
I love you,
Like I am an artist that for you
Can only draw a smiley face in fogged up glass
I love you like cheesy romance movies and rainy days.
Everyone on earth has heard it before
It's a new car alarm
Or a knock at your door
A story so old they found it carved in stone
With all of the scrolls
And neanderthal bones.
Part I. They Fell In
Simply put
I cannot understand you
The way you make my chest shorten
And the way all this furniture of our lives came about
Opening the balcony door
The wind gushes, whipping thru my hair
My ball grown beautifully swaying
My heart pounding, what are you saying?
Looking out over the terrace
Down at the lights of Paris
There once was a time when you came into my life
We were once just a friend, teasing each other with playful remarks
And giving witty comebacks to each other’s responses.
A vast, endless green field
Overwhelms me with its beauty
The soft, billowing breeze won't yield
How I wish you were here with me
Flowers of ev'ry hue
Dance so slowly to the wind's beat
You know the twinkle in your eyes
most people notice when you smile?
I see stars
and galaxies
and colour.
I’m often so preoccupied
She Her cheeks were flushed
Her lips, a curve
Her heart, how it rushed
Better than I, she deserved
I was gravel under her feet
She was a rose in the park
I was sand in the street

Waking up
Weary and teary eyed
Wearing his cologne unwilling
Wanting to escape his grasp
Willing myself to move on
Wanting to escape the memories
Wearing my own name
Weary from my fight
Do you even know who I am inside?
Did you stop to look deep into my eyes?
How could you not know, how can you not see,
In everything you do what it does to me.
When we were first together it was all so unclear.
I wanted you so badly, but all I knew was fear.
Then you held me in your arms and whispered in my ear.
I don't know what to do anymore,
I've tried so hard to save us,
I've given you everything I have,
I'm all yours,
But are you all mine,
I can feel us drifting,
It was by chance I stumbled
into the fierce lions terrain
and he looks like all the rest
with large claws, sharp teeth, and his mane
Instinct readied my legs to run
She said she'll think of whitty jokes
just to show that it's not all smoke.
She said she'll think of interesting facts
but the fact is that the pact was supposed to be
that she would go on a date with me.
When you truly in love Someone age doesn't matter .
weather it 2 yrs , 5 yrs ,10 yrs ,15 yrs or 30 yrs love is love
A TRUE relationship isn't about the age , height, weight, or the distance
You say you want to date me, but I think you might hate me
And when you hear what I speak, I think you might just agree
I'll give you 3 reasons, just listen, you'll see
Oh, I've got no problem eating alone.
Make no mistake--
I can eat what I want when I want it.
I can think how I
look like I
go where I want.
I can see whom I please,
Say what I mean,
So I took a deep breath and asked her name
And she said hi, my name is kate
And I said hello But I knew she wouldn’t let me go
Cuz some people connect immediately
and other split immaculately but I know
Say no, say no, say yes, say yes.
No- to abuse. It's not necessary, not right.
Twenty-eight percent are in an intimate relationship!
Ninety-eight percent of offenders- aren't punished!
When he wraps his arms around me,
I am in a sleeping bag on a mountain,
Peaceful and shielded from the breeze.
When he tells me that he loves me,
I am listening to soft, beautiful music
Another world inside of me
That no one else will ever see
Mostly it is comforting
But in the dark
where no one sees
It's actually quite lonely..
Growing up your my main inspiration,
I gave you hardship and lots of frustrations,
But you’ve always been there when I needed some love,
Arms spread open hugging me like a glove,
Love can make us do stupid crazy things,
Things that never in a million years you thought would do.
Things you regret doing.
However, at the time it does not occur to us how our actions ruins us on the inside
People ask me why I don't date in the same way they'd ask a sick man what's wrong with him.
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
You see only the honey that drips from my tongue;
I sit in anticipation for the day I bare my fangs and reveal the blood on my teeth.
I'll add your heart to my collection,
Why don't you go and call me baby.
My lips are pink as valentines, I know.
Honey, it might be a bit of a shock
He'll make you bleed but-
Foreplay helps calm any nerves a LOT-
!
Seven o'clock I walk Into the doors of my high school, my black high school
Where People do whatever it takes to be considered cool
I walk into the bathroom choking from the smoke
Uhg I hate this school I complain daily
'Yer jalan athhirari anni,' she says. 'Moon of my life.'
'Shekh ma shieraki anni,' I whisper back. 'My sun and stars.'
But girls shouldn't date girls
They shouldn't hold hands or kiss
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.
You say I am a decent writerSo I write this one to youYou who loves me for all of meNot just the me that is nice and pleasantBut the me that is mean and dark and confused
This is as quiet as it gets
So please don’t break this silence
Just hush down and fall asleep
I promise not to make a sound so you don’t wake
This moment is the calming before the storm
I speak on fear, depression, and realization.
Success to me only comes when all three of these things plays together as one.
The battle is all within yourself and will always be.
I want to see you, you say.
And so you see me
through the sage green stitches
of my grandmother's crocheted yarn,
And so you see me
Lying above the cherry-cola leather sofa.
And so you see me,
Lost in another compilation of complications.
A group of her friends worsened the situation.
I can't take this nonsense anymore I'm walking out the door.
I'm not leaving you but I'm leaving this relationship.
They say you spend your whole life rewriting the first poem you ever loved.
With you, my dear, you were my first poem.
I remember the way I said I loved you, I remember the way you shrugged.
The way my heart was stolen.
SLAP!
I didn't mean to upset you I'm sorry
I don't know why I always have to ask so many questions.
SHOVE!
Down the stairs I'm falling
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.
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
Allow yourself to grieve
Discover the way his name sounds when spoken from a throat tight with tears
How it sounds thrown against the wall, shattering
Hannah was late coming home this evening.
Traffic was slow and she had trouble leaving.
Work was hard and she hadn't any time
Hello
Umm......
I apologize if I'm a bother
I usually don't do this because I'm....
Well I get nervous
But I just wanted to tell you that you are gorgeous
What to do with all the hurt?
When inside you're fit to burst.
You're supposed to be so strong.
You're supposed to not be wrong.
Put a face that betrays the truth.
Give an air of being aloof.
I want to believe that everything you've said is true,
but I just can't trust myself to trust in you.
You've told me lies, you've made me cry.
I'd stay up all night trying to figure out why.
I find myself lost as if I fell from a peak
The mountain I stand on is no more
Tumbling down a sea of diamonds – all unique
Part of an avalanche, a moving floor
How badly I want it.
Maybe it’s this time of year
Maybe it’s my own conjuring,
My own extrapolation
My own imagined solitude.
But it’s eating me from the inside out
Devouring its way through my heart
1. You got out of jail on Sunday.
The sudden realization that you weren't just a bad dream
Cracks my eyes open, makes them bleed
I was Alice falling through the rabbit hole
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,
This is pain is just too real
The moment I got attacked by the wegded heel.
A vagina is a percious jewel?
Seriously?
And what is a penis?
What is its mythical powers?
Why does a woman have to explain her sexual history,
intimacies and etc?
I was in love with the wayyou always knew what you wantedhow you walked like you were the most important person in the roomI was smitten with your tiny bodyand how feminine you sounded when you laughed
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 know I just met you
but please let me say
we could get food..
I mean..I want you to stay.
Ahhh not in a creepy way
life is bad,
It makes no sense,
Why would you hate a guy like me?
No girl likes me,
That I've come to know,
But why do they all hate me?
That I'll never know.
So you tell 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,
Your glasses left indents on your nose
Like your words did to my persona
It was something in your hands
Wrinkled from holding on to loves lost and far gone
You liked to choke the life out me
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.
Ever gave someone your all and felt like its not enough. when you cry at night and feel like no one understands. and its like you been on the same rollercoaster so many times. and your tired but the more you try to get off the harder it gets.
This day is drawing to a close, the night is coming near,
And somewhere out there stars light up, illuminate my fear.
It takes a dense, steel wrecking ball to break through love’s embrace,
Explosions break the darkness
And we fall from the sky—
Blown to bits.
Pieces of each of us glitter
As they float down,
Tossed around by the wind,
Ever so gently,
Nearing the earth.
Being an aspie can be a source of misery or a source of pride, it’s all in the bearer’s perception. “What’s an aspie?” you might ask. It’s a term for someone who bears the rigorous condition of aspergers.
I have recently come
to the conclusion that
there are too many clocks
and not enough time to explain
the euphoric spectrum of color
you bring to everything we do.
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.
Invisible scars that aline her armTransparent bruises that do no harmMake up covers those nasty scarsLook at her now and look how far
My brain comprehends your words
Twisting and distorting the meanings.
It only focuses on the negatives.
My heart hears your words,
Embracing and realizing their true meanings.
Maybe the timing’s not right.
Or maybe it’s just not meant to be.
Should I put up a fight?
Or should I let it be?
I keep running into you.
We’re so close, yet so far.
An ocean of my blood and tearskilling me with my own fears.I let myself drownin all this misery.You can trybut I won't let you save me.
I am too young to be in love.
I am too immature to be dating.
I don't really know what I'm getting myself into.
No.
I am in love.
I am mature.
I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.
Maybe you just have my hormones going
That’s the reason my blood is flowing
So quickly and you got my pulse thats pulsing
So quickly you got my impulse going
I kiss you and my whole bodies glowing
So you want to date a black girl?With her heavenly body, that looks as if it is God’s greatest creation.
I can't help but feel that something's offYou avoid meFor reasons that I cannot seeI feel like the third wheelWas what we had before surreal?
Please just let me go homeI can't stay hereNothing satisfiesI can't even eatThe sight of food makes me sickI just really want to leave
I turn in a circle and danceI won't even offer the past a second glanceWho needs you?I can make do!
When it broke apartNothing weighed heavyNot even my heart
I stare at the dark abyss of my bedroomDaydreams flow through my headAnd I wonderA question that has bugged me for years
Why I Hurt
What is this pain in my chest?I'm supposed to be better nowOver it
But I guess I still hurtBecause no matter whatThings will never be the wayThey used to be
You scream for meTelling yourself liesTelling me that you love meI know you do
You beg for meIt can never beI may love youBut the world is against us
I told him...
"Pretty girls don't have scars,"
And I cried.
With a finger under my chin,
He made me look into his eyes.
He told me that's what makes me beautiful
And kissed every tear
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.
Yes! Yes! He accept my friend request
I could remember the joy that filled my soul
It was so much it leak like snat coming through my nose
my heart was like the prime minister on Election Day
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
I want you
She wants you
So there's a decision
But yet, no decision
If you feel like you need to choose,
I’ll help you out
Pull out of the race, stop playing your game
head to chest, buried
listening to lullabies
of the heart...
and seeking comfort
in the protection of
your arms...
I take my seat in my usual chair.
Hey, it’s good to see you!
You too.
How have you been?
Silence.
Tick…tock…tick…tock…
I pick at what’s left of my nails.
Okay
Just okay?
Yeah.
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
I will never look at you the same ever again. What you did to me, I will never understand. How dare you ever tell me you adore me! When now all you ever do is ignore me. I don’t understand how I could change your mind.
Loud were the sirens crying outand loud was the body that wanted to be let outWanted to be free and do whatever it pleasedNot knowing the regrets that it would reap.Loud were the warning bells that seemed to shout.
I do not much care when you call me weird, my heart is just in another place i can't say that your heart should be there, but that is where mine lies, in the crevice of this world.
You tell me you love me,
Yet you treat me like dirt.
Everything is a game with
You; and you play with my heart.
It gets me to wonder,
It gets me to wonder.
The way we share smiles,
Confined by these chains
They're tying me down
I'm feeling no pain as I helplessly drown
Floating and spinning in the waves of despair
A weight's being lifted
We were holding handsYou were looking at meThe way boys always doWhen they want something moreI got up and walked awayI just wanted spaceWe were on a couch in a clothing store
iris
a remnant of ancestral land
what left with the emerald isle
ocular traits
those you so heavily rely on
suitors respond
alike the tides
to gravitational pull
“You smell like cigarettes”, she said.
“That’s because I smoke”, he said.
"I dated a writer once. I think.... I'd like to date one again." She eased the statement from her lips confidently and seeking of my approval. I only laughed at her.
Swinging my hips side to side like they ain’t got no business
Looking at your lips, they can make some mean Caribbean kisses
Dreads mid-way your back
You held me like a Barbie,
As if you're my perfect Ken,
Thinking I will give you
Everything just like that doll.
You don't seem to understand
That my kiss is not your toy;
This feeling in my stomach,
The weakness in my knees,
The nervousness I feel,
Maybe True Love is real.
My tongue is tied,
Words falling empty from mouth.
The time becomes slow, yet
It’s summertime and everyone’s free
Taking life easy and drinking sweet tea
Hearts being broken yeah it’s the season
Girls dropping boys for no apparent reason
Boys leaving girls
The words I hold back, Are the qualities that you lack, You want me to be ther for you, But your why when you are so rude, I wanted you to be that man for me, but I was to blind to see, You had another woman in our bed, Enough said, You are a sold
Running deep The Still
Trapped down to nil
Break out, refrain to scream and shout
Fuscoferuginous rhythm weeps
Agnate to sheep, in sleep
Coveting not to keep the meek
Unable to leace and miss
You made me feel like there was nothing wrong
Like I was the only one you wanted
And we would always be together like two lovebirds in song,
That we were made for each other,
But we’re not, like a cat and a dog.
Her beauty doth shine as ‘twould make the sun
Itself seem as though ‘twere but a mere coal.
A match for her, there is never a one,
Sitting with the rain
Holding my hands under the puddles
Subconscious illusions
Fading I see the rain stop
The sun set and then the moon
Compress,
Explode.
As if the moon was glass
The sun dost pass through the sky in the blink of an eye;
‘Tis but the foreshadow of the cometh of my foe.
If only it would stay a bit longer,
My sorrows might there be forgotten;
I went to a dance one night on the Queen Mary in May
where the ocean kissed the ship
the same way the guests tip toed on deck
that was adorned with pearl necklaces of lights
(poems go here)
The guillotine was honest,
as it cut off your bloody head.
it didn't whisper "I love you,"
and then mess with your mind instead.
I was invited to an ideal girls' night out
An idea suggested to me by the girl with flirtatious eyebrows but her pure spirit told me to bring a friend
Awaiting your company
calls for heated anticipation,
freshly brushed teeth,
a sprits of ‘Sweet Seduction”,
and an optimistic,
welcoming heart
for the two of us.
As things get rough I find her head hangs low
Eyes bellowed beneath the clouds his hands on her chest as a chain on his ankles holds him tight
Her body is in a state of mind that nobody can feel
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
A journey.
Long paths, twisting winding roads.
Mountains and valleys.
Scraped knees and weary bones.
I'm parched and lost.
Every time I see you with her it kills me inside .
Our memories will never fade away from my mind .
My heart is yours but I know that you have moved on .
All I do is think of you.
i feel sick.
sick from the hurt
from the pain
from the hate i want to feel,
but cannot.
sick from the hole in my heart
from the helplessness
from the power you have over me
Who knew what would happen when you meet someone
it could turn into great things
it could give you some great memories
it could get you a new friend
it could even get you someone you really like
Why is it you keep wanting to pull me back in?
Look at all the damage you have done
You think i really want to be pulled back in.
You think that its that easy.
But seriously i dont want to be pulled back in.
With the worldly wise and well worn arrows of the deep
And the everlasting beauties of an unawakened sleep
The world is slick and rotten through
A sickly melody for those that chant, to croon
Why does it seem like God takes the good people early?
It was not until he called you that I realized I had something amazing all along.
Just as I thought it was save to rest my eyes.
The pain of the ignorance you exhibit is blissful,
yet it haunts me through the night.
Speak your words to me once more, my darling
So prim, so proper, so rehearsed
Appeasing, but unreachable
Soothing to the ears, but unrelatable
Why protect me, love?
We all know I take as well as I dish
One more bruise,
One more curse,
One more day to endure the hurt,
One more insult,
One more look,
One more thought that it is all done,
One more slap,
One more tear,
I've seen those hands before
In a different country far from here
I've smelled that scent before
But it's not like he's standing beside me
Flashbacks through my senses
I found a way to communicate
It's not like everyday talk
I've thought of ways to ask
But I just get up and walk
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.
Girls today are rewinding back to the Leave It to Beaver days with June at the helm of their dilapidated ship filled with: aprons, house coats, cake mix, feather dusters, and beige pumps.
And its things like that which make me question: Why is it so soon and I’m already questioning. My gut is already right, I’m a Sagittarius.
My heart no longer smiles the way it use to
It just sits there and stifles
The feelings that it really wants to let out
It holds back and waits
Unwilling to express itself out of the anxiety
It been a while
Since I’ve seen you
A while
Since I’ve touched you
A minute
Since I’ve missed you
A day
Since I’ve needed you
Time has changed
Who we were
And has given me
Death is a woman when she is killed emotionaly.
Death is a woman when her heart is broken.
Death is a woman when she is abused by the man.
Death is a woman when she is afraid of her own mind.
I imagine that I am warm.
The jet hair on your arms I nestle in should be proof enough.
I shrug off the nip and slide into your spacious body cavity.
Ward away the seeping light.
“Your fault,.” he would say.
“You’re right.” Regret filled me.
“Try harder,” he spat in my face.
“I will.” Shame rose up.
“You need me,” he simply stated.
“Please don’t go.” Panic overwhelmed me.
I can't decipher if it was love that caused me to be attracted to him
Was it his cologne or after shave
Was it his thug like mentality an his gentlemen facade
That caused me to be smitten by danger
I tricked him.
I tricked him into thinking he loved me.
No man would have been able to love me based on his own accord.
I tricked him.
Uncertain, Silent, Words
Crying, Pleading, Screaming unheard
Black, emotionless tries
Passed on unknowing Conversation dies
Heat flat lines
No beat. Fear shivers down spines
Left Unsaid
There have been some words,
that have been left unsaid.
All, of which, have been bothering me,
So darling, let's put these problems to bed.
Interrupted Solace in a Winter's Evening
Every once and awhile I like to be alone
I burrow in the confines of my memory
And dart from conversations like a fish from glass
Talk about cliche
I've got my heart on my sleeve.
Unsure what to do
Don't know where to go.
You reeled me in like a little fish
You've pulled me around like a puppet on a string
