It's only the 100th time
1487 Aug 2014
You'd think
I'd
know
how
to
let
you
go
by now.

But it does (12w)
1487 Apr 2014
Ask me where
my heart belongs
and I'll say,
"amongst the wreckage"

Mediocre
1487 Jan 2016
I'm so sad
and I want you
so bad.
i wish i were skinny enough to have you.
325 · Feb 2016
whatever
1487 Feb 2016
I’m hoping you miss me
or feel bad for what you’ve did
but I can’t bring myself
to believe it's true.

But I want to.
Lord knows I do.

It's been a while
1487 Oct 2014
Since I felt this
free.
I deleted him from all social media and I have not texted him; and I feel amazing. Lonely, but amazing. I really, finally, let him go.
320 · Apr 2015
You disappeared
1487 Apr 2015
With each vehicle that passes;
I always look,
but do not want to know.

Again
1487 Oct 2012
my heart -
it stops.
it starts again,
and again.

it seems
i’m always
starting 
again.
1487 Apr 2015
Hi my name is Ashley,
and I'm addicted
to memories
that don't matter
anymore.

Saving my life, part II.
1487 Feb 2015
Quitting smoking
feels like
I'm quitting you

all...
        over...
                     again.
If I did it once I can prob do it again right?

My religion

Belief is as fragile as a twig:
it breaks under the weight of truth.

It's 'bout damn time
1487 Oct 2014
I'm so tired of reading about women writing over men. It's nice to relate to in a ****** up way but at the same time I'd just for once like to search google without "how do I get him back", "why did he hurt me", or "why did he cheat" coming up in the results. I want to see a "why did she leave", an "is she coming back", or a "does she love me" pop up somewhere. I want to read words where women break the man's heart. Where she rips him open ******* raw and gnaws on every living ***** that beats within. I want to see the man bleed, gasp for air, claw at the earth like there's no escape. I want them to feel what we feel; what I feel. I'm tired of being soft for a man. And I want them to know.
i may be a hypocrite but if i could go back and break his heart, i. would.

If I cannot find freedom,
I'm going to free myself.

I think I won
1487 Dec 2014
I may have
lost my dignity
begging you to stay

but you lost me.
Sounds like you lose, bud.

Fall
1487 Sep 2015
By the time I came alive,
the world
was dead.
1487 Sep 2014
One year ago today
you left

I've never been right since.
1487 Oct 2013
I stared at the poster on the wall
With the speaker to my ear
And one solitary tear running sideways down my cheek
Michael Buble sings of being away
And I don't understand
How it can explain us
When you ran
Away from us
You need time but, I miss you, you know

Let me go home

How can I believe
Lyrics that help relay
Maybe words that you can't say
When *I still feel all alone.

I think about it
all the time

You just don't forget

I've been tired for a while -
restless for longer.

Punch drunk
1487 Apr 2015
I'm sorry I have turned you
into a drunken fool
that spills his words
more than his wine.
I wish I could love you.
294 · Aug 2014
Someone tell me
1487 Aug 2014
I figured out
that I can't drink you away

What the **** do I do now?
293 · Jul 2014
So drunk
1487 Jul 2014
I’m so drunk. And I miss you so much.

But I’d never tell anybody.

I’d never tell you.

The truth
1487 Oct 2015
I'm so sad.

And there's nothing
poetic about
that.

I guess
you really do
gotta kiss
a lot
of frogs
before you find

I don't understand at all
My father told me to keep my books on Law so that he can read them
He's not a word smart man but he gives what he can and that's enough for me
Working his hands since fourteen
till arthritis sinks in and the sunken skin between his fingers shows muscles that you never thought were able to see

My cat walks under my feet and I trip on the carpet in front of the sink trying to rinse my hands in the late night glow
Stumbling back in the dark, reaching out for a touch, trying not to fall
But there's no one here to catch me
I don't understand at all

I'm lying in bed and I should be reading but these words wouldn't leave my head no matter how hard I fought
I quit counting the days that you've been gone and I've lost track of the weeks which means by now you've forgotten me because I was the last something, I was the last string that held together anything
I have cavities growing in my teeth from sweet tastes you left inside of me waiting for you to call

you stripped me ******* raw

And I will never
I can never
I will never understand at all

March 12th, 2011.
1487 Nov 2014
Against my heart beats frightened wings
Fluttered words I can't express
My fingers laced by guitar strings
That sounds my restlessness
Blank pages torn and ripped away
With love left unprofessed
My darling, if I could convey
To your lips mine would be pressed
Though thoughts that filter unmarked scars
Come to me in idleness
I drift my heart amidst the stars
For this love I can't oppress
But soon we'll soar and taste the sky
As pinions tremble beneath our chests
In flight with you forever
Not the world nor I detest
I found this poem I wrote in 2011 for an ex. He didn't appreciate it. Maybe someone else will.

E is for empty
1487 Apr 2014
Ask me
how it feels
to love you
and I will say
*"exhausting"
I have nothing left to give
1487 Mar 2015
Gray, solemn in my bedroom
where I lay,
where I lay.

Birds chirp outside my window
it's a new day -
it's a new day.

Is it worth it?
1487 Aug 2014
There's
nothing more
in this world
that I want
than to be loved.

There's
nothing more
in this world
that I want
than to never love again.

To be alive!

What a glorious thing to be.
Someone out there is wishing they had more life right about now.

As nights go on
1487 Dec 2014
Some you still dream of,
some you do not.

I hope I see you.
I hope you see me, too.
to know I'm still in your dreams, though I'm out of your life, would be a privilege.

Don't die on me now
1487 Jan 2015
Death is sad.
So sad.
Because even though life is temporary,
love is forever.
278 · Dec 2013
Think I figured it out
1487 Dec 2013
I tugged at my veins
asking questions
with no answers
did I let you do this
or did I do this to myself?
but isn't that the same?
I think I figured it out

Lady in green
1487 Nov 2012
She spit my life at me in words
But I still felt empty
Trying to get to a heart
That has become content with it's sadness
My eyes must have agreed
With her saying, "I can tell you're lonely”
But then put them at ease
When she whispered, *“and that's alright”
1487 Aug 2014
I have missed you
in ways
and with
parts of me
I never knew
could.
274 · Aug 2013
I don't care

The drinks make me numb
So I can't feel
It doesn't matter that time can heal...


I want it now.

Happy Birthday.... to me.
1487 Jul 2014
You have stolen
every month I've ever loved
and replaced them with your memory.

Now, I can no longer celebrate
my birth in July
or the freedom of October
without remembering
all the ways
you ruined
me.

Excuse you
1487 Feb 2014
Stop
making excuses
for men
who don't

because you don't
respect yourself

I never knew how to choose
1487 Jan 2014
Saint Augustine,
I do not want to read about you
and your Free Choice of Will
Because I do not choose
To think of him inbetween
your words

And I do not choose
To remember him
When my eyes drift between
your lines

'Cause when it came to him
I always had a choice,
Just not the will,
And sometimes still;

I don't know how to choose.
