Hearts-on-paper
I'm 19 and I've been writing free verse poetry for about 7 years now. I just write what is inside my head, its as simple as that.
I write because my head is full of things I cannot say out loud. I write for the way my heart bleeds when people cut into it. I write as my heart swells with joy until I feel like the Grinch on Christmas day. I write when I cannot think of anything but hate; The words angrily scrawled out on paper like hot flames burning up my emotions. I write to let everything out. I write because writing cannot talk back; It can't tell me I'm wrong or to change something It is purely just me. I write because it is the one thing that will not judge me no matter what I say. I write because writing is all I have.

Why I Write (Longer Version)
I write to spill love, loss, and hate onto blank pages instead of my conscience.

Why I Write
In the middle of the night I am wide awake Craving you Wanting your love Needing your love I've been counting the days since you've been gone My mind bubbling over with frantic thoughts An itching under my skin I can't scratch Sometimes the world seems to disappear And I'll see you standing right in front of me But then just as fast you are gone Then I find myself in a completely different world again Lying on the floor unable to pull myself up Or even remember exactly where I am                        Just one more touch....                                                                         Thats all I need...

My Addiction
I watched the stars with you and I was hypnotized Since then I have not been able to come out from under their spell I awaken with the night And tire with the day My soul is tied to the beaming white moon As I long float away with the clouds you seem to be trapped in The sky is my prison And the moon is my captor.

Away With the Night
I think I could love you till the stars we look up at stop twinkling And the moon turns out its light.

Limitless Love
I wanted to be like your cigarettes I wanted to be what calmed you down I wanted to be what you couldn’t wait to press your lips against I wanted to be the little thing you looked forward to during the day I wanted to be the one thing you could not live without And I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to become addictive I just wanted you to need me the way you needed to light up every night But then one day you quit smoking..

Your Addiction
2am I'm addicted to heartache The kind that rips you apart inside Leaves you shaking Tears streaming down your face 3am The moon bright in your eyes Sparkling behind the moisture Sobs wrack my body The stars seem to be falling from the sky This feeling is what I know best 4am All is quiet The night doesn't make a sound Theres nothing left to come out Tears have dried And my mind is numb I feel nothing Hollow and empty This feeling is all too hauntingly familiar 5am The morning approaches And I am still awake Staring at the wall Nothing left 6am Time to get up Plaster a smile on my face Smear concealer under my eyes And pretend like those dark circles aren't there 9am Everyone is oblivious But I know That tonight I'm going to go through it all again

Middle of the Night
I should know better by now But its the exhilarating feeling that gets me every time I can't stop myself And this time you're hard to read I have absolutely no idea what you are thinking I cannot help but be more than intrigued Especially because usually I have the ability to read people like a magazine But no Not you You are a completely new mystery

Exhilarated
I may not be suicidal But I'm still sad in a way that destroys me

Ouch
I like handwritten letters And old paper back books I like walks downtown past old buildings With peeling paint and cracked side walks I like old sneakers with holes in them And soles that scrape the ground when you walk I like things with stories to tell I like to meet people and talk about minimal things Things that won't matter to anyone else The things that cause their eyes to sparkle And make a smile tug at their lips I like to listen to their opinions The things they feel such passion for Yet I do not like to stick around Never do I get close enough to touch No one makes it past the mask of sincerity Masterfully placed on my face Never do I let them breach the surface I like to stay light and free Of hurt, pain, and complications And humans carry these things with them everywhere they go So once I've learned all I can about a person I move on to the next And continue my journey of life I like old fashioned romances Throwing rocks at windows And cool walks in the night holding hands I like good morning wishes and butterfly kisses I dream of embraces so close You can feel the trickle of their breath on your neck Their heartbeat involuntarily syncing with yours I dream of these things These things I have longed to feel I still get excited at the sight of a swing left vacant at a playground Or mini marshmallows in hot chocolate On bitter winter nights.
