For the sake of society

Can't deal with sobriety

Love me more
lemon Apr 2014
I just needed extra love today
but there was no one around to give it
and i realized that's my life
I am the one who gives extra love
Not the one who gets extra love given to her

The truth hurts

The truth hurts
So I prefer my beautiful lies

That rose had nine inch spikes
It took me months to get pricked

My heart was happy
So she just had to crush it

A wonderful you
lemon Jan 2013
I don't love you for your looks
Or your talk
Or your walk
I love you for your flaws
the way you lead me on
the way you don't really care
the way you always forgive him
Because within your flaws, somehow, I see perfection
I see how wonderful you Could be, how wonderful you Can be
And i believe I can help you become that wonderful you

Tree Hugger
lemon Jan 2013
The flower said i wish i was a tree
The tree said i wish i could be
A different kind of tree
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that is a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it
And the flower would be it's offering
To the desert so dry and lonely
And the desert so dry and lonely
So that all the animals apreaciate the effort
The rattle snake said "i wish i had hands
So i could hug you like a man"
And the cactus said "well don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
I'm sure a hug would be nice
But hug my flower with your eyes"
The flower said i wish i was a tree
The tree said i wish i could be
A different kind of tree
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea
And in the sea we have a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
It's a song, a song i love to sing

Maybe
lemon Sep 2012
Maybe if I was older,
Maybe if he lived closer.

Maybe if I died my hair,
Maybe if he didn't still love his ex.

Maybe if I wasn't so shy,
Maybe if I could actually talk to him in person.

Maybe then we would be perfect,
Maybe then I would be complete.

Because I think maybe without him i'm lost,
I think maybe he's my hope,
I think maybe he's what I've been waiting for my whole life.

Maybe he loves me to.

Maybe I'm lying to myself.
I just write what I feel, it doesn't have to be good. It just has to be.

The Joker
lemon Oct 2012
He is the clown prince of crime
And what I would do to be his princess
The banks I would rob
The People I would ******

It would be beautiful
Beautiful beautiful chaos
I'm in love with a fictional character! WOOPEE!

LIES!
lemon Sep 2012
The internet is a liar that makes my heart leap for joy, just to crush it into thousands of pieces.
I cant write poetry, not that I know of. I just wanted them to be my soul mate, but it was an old woman.

kitties
lemon Feb 2013
There was a little kitty
Who came into my life
She was soft and pretty
But she sure could bite

That kitty scratched me hard
She got me where it counts
I don't think i'll ever get another
No, no more kitties in my house

I feel like I need someone.
A someone.
The someone.
It's very confusing, my emotions are.
My brain is fuzzy.
We're carving pumpkins.
I love you guys.

She is
lemon Dec 2012
She is a warm summers breeze on the back of my neck
She is the ****** of laughter echoing through the halls
She is the smell of rain just after it showers
She is a flower of the most exotic kind
She is silence in its best moments
She is art made from the finest hands
She is the color blue, rich and beautiful
She is the answer to the longing i have

Warriors
lemon Oct 2013
We are young
But We are Strong

A War Wages On

We were made
Warriors too soon
Never had the chance
To grow
To bloom

I feel it.
lemon Sep 2012
I feel it in my gut,
A sickness so strong it hurts.

It tears me apart,
from the inside out.

The voices yell obscene thing in my ear,
"**** them, it would feel good".

The bugs on my skin are always there,
crawling up and down my arms.

I scream a silent scream,
one no one can hear.

From the outside I look sane,
Even a little normal.

I am anything but.

I am crazy.

I am my disease.

I'm grasping on to any little bit of nothing to hold onto you
And my palms are sweaty and my fingers ache
but I can't let go yet
I'm not over it
or you
or whatever it is you pretended you were to me

Blue
lemon Dec 2012
I noticed her eyes for the first time today
They are the prefect shade of blue
lemon Oct 2013
A doctor and his companion
Who at first couldn't stand him
She's grown to feel love
For this man she is dreaming of
He's in her mind
He's in her thoughts
Oh she doesn't want it to stop
He's her man
Her everything
The sad part is he doesn't see
Doesn't recognize her feelings
When she's gone he realizes
She wasn't even trying to hide it
It's too late she has to go
Now they part forevermore
With a kiss she says goodbye
After she's left he starts to cry
Slams the Tardis door
Screams "WHY"
This man
The Doctor
Is so blue
For he is nothing
Without you
Wow, feelsy dr who poem

Still a little crazy
lemon Nov 2013
I was locked up
No fresh air
No good food
They called it a mental institution
It felt like a boot camp
Go in crazy
Come out sane
I don't think they fixed me
Not all the way

She blinds me
lemon Jan 2013
I am in love with a monster
a forever enticing fiend
who doesn't care
who doesn't need

They captured my heart
and swallowed the key
they covered my eyes
so i can not see

I can't see the truth
I can't see that she's wrong
I know what has to be done
I just need to be strong

I need to let go
my grip must come loose
so i don't end up hanging
from an emotional noose

My Life

Its all a spiral of psychotic humor,

I don't write poetry, I make quotes that I say and count them as poetry within themselves.

Incomplete
lemon Nov 2012
I feel incomplete
I feel the missing pieces, making holes in my life
I try to fill the space your meant to be in
No one fits quite like you
My puzzle cant be complete until you decide to get into your spot on the board

I'm Different
lemon Oct 2012
It feels so different
I know I have changed
I am not sure for better or for worse though

I feel bleak and sad
Like nothing matters anymore
Like their words have finally gotten to me

I don't want to smile
Or even pretend to be happy
It feels as though I've forgotten how

I don't know what to think anymore
My heart feels heavy, heavy with something.

Sanctuary One
lemon Oct 2012
I could be blinded by the light
And see a thousand things unknown
I could be sheltered from the storm
I have your love to keep me warm

You could be rescued from the edge
And fall no further than the stone
Holding on like stars tonight
Call the universe your own

Held within the walls you find me better than before
A love, a loss, a coin to toss away
Lost in altered states a heart that finds the end surprising          
You made my sanctuary safe

They are misguided in the night
Stumbled blindly into faith
Feeling words and walls unfamiliar
They are the lost in the day

You could be kinder than the rest
And know the furthest they will go
With a hand upon my chest
Call the heart within your own
This is by a friend of mine V. Nigel Taylor. He wrote it, I didn't. I just felt it needed to be shared with the world, because it's brilliant. Please don't steal it. Thanks.

wanted to talk to you
kept stumbling over my words
like they were too large rocks
on the gravel road that I'm running on
you got bored trying to figure out what i was struggling to say
so you walked away
couldn't figure out how to say
you make me feel safe

My Fairy Tale
lemon Oct 2012
I just want to hug you forever
and to smell you
cuz I bet you smell like guy
I love guy smell
I bet you smell like the perfect kind of guy smell

And I want to kiss you on the cheek
Like little kids do
In the way that says "you mean the world to me"
So that you know I care
cuz I care SO much

I want to have you
I want have you be mine
and I will be yours
cuz that's what love is supposed to be

Except I don't think any of that will ever happen
cuz my life isn't a fairy tale
I'm not a princess
and you're no prince

You are the stars
that make my eyes twinkle

He is the moon
that holds my tides
and makes my oceans come alive

And I will be the sun
Spreading warmth to you
everyday until i go out
lemon Sep 2016
It's not big things, just small
Tiny fragments of a memory nearly gone
A comic you introduced me to
The blue flowers on the side of the road when spring is nearly over
I know its stupid to still do this
I don't even think of you anymore
Day to day you never cross my mind
But these things that remind me of you
how i wish i could forget and stop finding you in all these things i love
lemon Jan 2013
I know some of the things i say are cheesy
I know i'm too romantic
I know you don't want my love
But **** i want to give it
I want to give it all to you
I believe it's what you deserve
To me you are the perfect girl
Your wrongs are always Right
Your flaws are your perfections
In every single way
You just continue to hurt me
But I love you anyways

Stranded
lemon Jul 2014
my lungs can only take so much before i drown
tried to call 911 but my fingers forgot how
now I’m swimming in a sea of troubles
there is no escape
my white flag was torn to shreds by the wind that's whipping my face
calling for help is useless now
my throat is raw from my screams
eyes are getting foggy
if i sleep I’ll awake from this dream

Ro
He's my shadow
A darkness clouding over my light
He's my safety
There to protect me when things go wrong
He's my friend
Cheering me up when no one else can
He's not real
Just another one of the voices in my head

I keep writing messages and deleting them
and writing and deleting
and hoping I'll gain the courage to send one
to tell you how much I still care
how much I still hurt
I know you don't think about me
because I meant nothing to you
but i can not stop thinking of you
