To The Beautiful YouTo The Beautiful You:

Here we are, sitting behind these screens of glass,

Reading lines of text, yet smiling, laughing and crying.

It's strange to think that I could have this much fun -

Considering that I've never met you before, but then again

Perhaps that's the reason why I don't have to pretend.

Some people might tell me, that what we have is just a fantasy,

I doubt I'll have the chance to actually see you in this life-time.

But even so, in the time that we've spent together - Well,

I feel as though I've connected with you, more than anyone else.

I feel as though I know you better, than those just a few feet away.

You might tak

I'm going to cry.I'm going to cry for all I've lost,
And you can't or won't stop me.
I'm going to die for all I was,
And all you'll do is watch me.

I'm going to hide from you,
Afraid to show my weakness.
I would happily die for you,
But I still regret this.

I didn't want this life,
I didn't want these tears.
I didn't want this life,
I didn't want these fears.

I used to cause myself pain,
To make sure I still feel.
I'll do it now and again,
To make sure it's still real.

I'm going to cry for all I've lost,
And you can't stop me.
These tears I cry at my cost,
For once will flow freely.

ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.

What Guys Think"What Guys Think"

Maybe if I tried a little harder

Or was a little bit smarter

Maybe if I wasn't such a bore

Maybe then she'd like me more

Am I even exciting enough?

Does she like a guy who's tough?

Maybe if my breath didn't smell

She'd like me more I can tell

Does she even like me at all?

Maybe she's more on the ball

Maybe I'm just a fool strung out

Maybe I need less self-doubt

Before she starts to prefer

Another guy next to her

Maybe I'm her only one

Burning brightly as her sun

Maybe I should walk away

And leave her to another's prey

Falling into the hands of a fiend

Maybe I should intervene

Maybe if I applied who I am

Beyond The HorizonWe ran out of our homes
And our dream quelling streets
Until mud under foot
Had replaced the concrete

From suburb to city
On to the countryside
We were running away
But not trying to hide

The world was still spinning
Faster than we could move
Though our hearts were breaking
Our poets' words would sooth

We left a cloud grey town
And in time reached the sea
Our home for so long
Evolution tells me

To the deepest warm blue
From the coolest pitch black
Shackles fell with each stroke
With our dreams still intact

Surrounded by fishes
Guiding us from the deep
Every league of ascent
Reinforced our belief

That it's the world,

You'll never break meHit me
Hate me
Kick me
Bruise me
Love me
Betray me
Curse me
Disrespect me
Abuse me
Beat me
Hurt me
But
you'll
never
break
me.

SweetheartFuck you, sweetheart.
You'll always be perfect, you know?
Poor little thing...
Hurling heart-shaped pills down your pretty blushing throat.
I don't owe you anything.
So do me a favor?
Remove yourself from my head,
Get out of my thoughts,
Take your words off repeat,
And get out.
Oh, and before you go, just hit the lights, would you?

BrokenAngel
on broken
wings -
fly so
high again

Earthen-bound
I see you
broken
and crumble
alone
on the ground

Feathers -
in the air
every color -
I recognize
you

Your
fragile heart
held
aloft
these feathers
float
on high

Wait
the moment
I'll gather
them up

My turn
to glue and
tape them back
allow
your flight

God's forgiveness
sung
upon your
lips -
I watch your
wings fly
to the sun
the sky

AddictedYou yearned for friends,
You get them, (too fucking many)
Threw them away.

You ached for love,
You got it, (had it and fucked it)
Destroyed it.

You longed for a reason,
You got it, (too many damn reasons)
Now despise it.

You wanted help, care,
You got it, (got more then you deserved)
Didn't even try.

You needed an escape,
You got it, (took advantage)
Now, it's a mere addiction.

For my own heart's sake, here it is for you"Some people are meant to fall in love, but not meant to be together."
That's what they say, after what I've heard.
That's what they say and I believe in it.
"You're the one my soul has chosen"
those words are my own, and I believe in them as well.

But here's the thing; I believe in the first saying more.
I love you. I love you like there is no tomorrow and I haven't forgotten about you.
I will never forget about you.

But I have moved on.
I needed a life outside of you and now I have.
I miss you with all of my heart, but there's nothing I can do.

You see, I'm happy now. And even if I don't want to admit it, it's the truth.
I'm h

Alcoholics Anonymous"Alcoholics Anonymous"

I know I can do this
I need to put the bottle down
I will clench both my fists
And keep my feet on the ground
I know I can win
I need to conquer this trait
I will try to fight myself
And not drink another day

But its just one more bottle
A shot would be even smaller
Yet every time I drink
The trees look so much taller
My imagination runs haywire
These drinks don't fix anything
Instead my mind conspires
And brings out the worst in me

True feelings I can't face
Watching the world spin
A small price for its foul taste
Destroying my insides within
I have a terrible disease
So expensive and so vain
But

Can We Both Be Ugly? She's a diamond, while I am coal.
I am the coal, black and boring.
Set me on fire while I am alive.
Watch me burn,
Watch me die.
She is the diamond, shiny and attention-grabbing.
Lay your greedy hands on the whore.
She's there for the looks and money,
No real work,
She receives the perks.

We both wanted him,
But I bit my tongue.
What a fool I would be to ask for his heart.
He sees me as a footrest,
Only here for support and only when he needs it,
The demand for me is limited.
He lusts for her seductive nature,
Her glare blinding his eyes,
She's tearing him apart with her sharp edges,
It kills me to witne

BloodI've got a filthy mouth,
& a house of stars
thriving in my throat.

21 years
silent

& I still have yet to tame
this grounded constellation
I call my temple. -Slithering
tongue hissing too many
"fuck you's" against my teeth.

I fear I will write myself hollow-
or until my bones are corroded away

& I am nothing-
an insignificant nebula
orbiting the wrong atmosphere.

But, my veins bleed sweet ichor,

& words are only words, Mother.

The way you make me feelEvery thought of you has its roots of bliss
Yet they trace towards to branches of pain
We're separated by a vast ocean
Yet I feel your presence everyday
My mind is torn apart by your absence
Yet it's brought together by your simple words

If I thought hard enough, would you come back?
If I wished on every shooting star, would you fill the cracks?
If I sad I was sorry, would you believe it as a fact?
If I darken every light in my life, would you brighten what has become pitch black?

Saying I miss you isn't enough
Saying I love you doesn't build trust
Saying I want you back is just lust

I think of you each day, but you do think of

Do you see me?When you see me
What exactly do you see?
Do you see the hatred
And all the lies
Or the happy front I put up?
When you look in my eyes
Do you see all the times
I picked myself up off the floor
Soaked in dried blood,
Or just another happy girl?
When you hear me speak
Do you listen to the words?
Do you hear the cry for help?
Or just the fake laughter I give?

Do you look at me
And see the real me?
Or just the me I want you to believe?

What We Had

What We Had

_{I think it was the lack of connection.
The lack of... touch?
I didn't mean for it to happen.

My desire for love was too much.
He was right there,
In my peripheral vision.
The party was intense.
Nothing but flashing white lights
Filling the room.
He walked up to me,
Wanting to dance and I said

Yes.
I was with someone.
It's not like it was a
Relationship.
We only ever kissed and said
Sweet things.
A whole year of just
Kissing.

And
Talking.
Maybe he didn't love me
Like I loved him.
Maybe he was straight.
Maybe he didn't think of men
Like that
Anymore.
I still loved him.
I didn't want to let him go.
But I desired something.
I desired something more than
Love.
I wanted to touch.
Wanted to be touched.
I wanted to feel another's skin on mine.

I was feeling too much desire to care
Who
Touched
Me.
I woke up that morning next to a
Stranger.
I never knew his name.
I never asked for it.

Because I didn't
Care.
I just got up and
Left.
Days after that night,
I saw
Him.
I wanted to say hi.
I wanted to…
Hug him.
I wanted to apologize
For sleeping with him.

Because I didn't love that man.

I didn't know him.
I loved who I was with.
Did I feel it?
Regret?
Pity?

For myself?
No.
Some called me
Heartless.
Some called me
Sick.
But,

I couldn't
Help it.
I loved the man I
Was with.
But
I didn't.
I felt
Alone.
I felt like
He
Didn't
Love
Me.
That's what I told him when
He heard about my
Disloyalty.
He did something I never would have
Thought.
He
Cried.
His hands covered his tear-stained
Face
And
He
Cried.
I asked him why he was
Crying.
He responded by saying he
Loved
Me.
I got
Angry.
I turned my back on
Him.
He never loved
Me.
I asked him why we never
Made
Love.
He said
"Because I wanted it
To be
Perfect.
Because I didn't
Want to ruin
What we
Had."

What
We
Had.}

So....I have a folder that I keep all of my writing favs in and I was going through that today when I was bored and I. Just. Cannot. Even. I think I just sat there and stared at my screen for a while. Fabulous poem.

I'm sorry, it's just to beautiful for words.
Why does every poem I read insist on making me cry?
