23/F/houston, tx poet, writer, and just living life trying to put my emotions and life into words that might make sense
Come touch my soul Cut me open Break my ribs with your bare hands Pure strength Hold my heart Feel it pulsing, beating, in your hands Feel the blood trickle past your fingers Do you like the way my eyes stare up at you? My blue and lifeless eyes The windows into my mind Do you feel better now? You finally have all my heart But look what you had to do Keep it forever Leave me here to rot Leave me here to become one with the earth I dont need my heart anymore. I hope you’re satisfied with me now I’m the perfect dead girl I’m your perfect dead girl

Dead Girl
You can leave the life But the life wont leave you Its talons are hooked into your chest You’re reminded of the pain Every-time you breathe And i know it hurts Youre scared. That life you left behind That you clawed your way out of You dont want to fall back in I tell you that you never talk to me But the more i sit here and think The more i realize that you did But my ears were closed Only wanting to open if you were blunt But thats not you and ive been so deaf Your wounds were never hidden Your scars never covered up I see it now How can i not? Im quick to jump and quick to push away And i never once thought to just keep my feet on the ground To just hold tight to what ive had In a perfect world i’d have thought In a perfect world you wouldnt know the pain That comes with an empty stomach. And you wouldnt be craving the thing thats going to destroy us But im your rock. Your reason for living And i meant it when i said i shouldnt be I shouldnt be Im on my own downward spiral What if i cant hold us both up? Were going through our own same **** Breaking our bones to try And fit in the boxes we made for each other. Everything i said was the truth My love for you is unlike any other Im breaking my bones with a smile on my face And tears in my eyes We have to break to get stronger To be better And when i look up at you I see the universe in your eyes And i feel it deep in my soul It surrounds us Swirling around our bodies Like nicotine smoke when the sun is sleeping I feel the pain in your marrow I see it dripping out onto the floor Nose bleeding and hands shaking Ive been so focused on me Me me me Always me Never you And we have the same problem Do you see it too We cant escape Promising to not hit each other But look at us now Bruises decorate our bodies When i told you i liked it rough I didn’t mean emotionally And look at me now Making it about me again Maybe i wasnt there when they gave the lesson on how not to be a narcissist. How not to be selfish How to ******* open my ears and rip open my eyes Its taken me such a long time to see your struggles and now that ive seen them Im scared to leave you Not walk away from you, from us But the road im on has me walking towards death himself And time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all Ecclesiastes 9:11 If i died tomorrow how would you live? I worry about that Im not immortal and im not going to make it into paradise I hope you find peace within yourself I hope you find comfort in my arms while it lasts I told you last night to look at where you are now No longer in the hood No longer in the game No longer with that pain Look how far you come You’re not alone anymore You have us. And were not going anywhere I need you to remember that When the pain comes back to haunt you When i get mad and walk out of the room When the memories flash across your eyes Remember that. Put your faith in my promises that i made you in the kitchen Put your faith in those lyrics that you relate too so much And when the day comes that my heart is no longer beating Put your faith in my undying love and stay strong Don’t fall back into that life you left Don’t be scared. I meant it when i said i’d never leave you. Not even in death.

Stair sitting Star gazing Deep in thought Galaxies in my eyes Glass in my nose Ill never stop loving the stars up above Ill never stop loving the way it burns Ive got angels in my veins And demons in my soul Im really not for one addiction But the world is always spinning So why cant i? Its just a little i say Its only for a day Or 2 or 3 Maybe more Its easy to walk away But hard to stay gone Im made from star dust and bad decisions So when the devil himself comes in crystal disguise Im pulled into it’s fiery hell once again And god **** Does it feel so good Im falling in love and i dont want to stop Take my hand Take my money Lead me on the path to heaven Lead me on the path of self destruction Set my soul on fire Send my mind racing Ice cold thoughts Climbing and diving on the monster Only when i finally come down Are there whispers in my ears Is this really all worth it? What if you die in the crash? Bruised knees and scraped elbows The whispers come back Another question appears What if the ride is worth it? What if setting foot on the blatantly treacherous path is the best part? What if the fun is in the climb? Im drowning in the swamp of self pity And sinking in the quicksand for a fractured psyche But For the first time in a long time it all seems worth it The stars have never looked as beautiful as they do Than when im speeding through my thoughts And ive never felt as close to heaven as i do Than when im making love to the devil I know i’m selling my soul. Signing my death certificate And i see his struggles, The way it destroys him But i cant bring myself to walk away from it Not again. Im hand in hand with my crystal clear knight Married to the drug Til death do us part.

Loyalty doesn’t run through our blood No matter how many times i stick the needle in my arm I’ll never be able to be loyal to you Mother. I’m not the perfect daughter That truth was sealed when you gave me up. Now look at you. Trying to come back. Trying to act like you didnt miss your chance That ship sailed when you broke my bones and when you tried to **** me Im no longer a child but you dont even know it Im my own woman and i didnt need you to find my way So take your knives and your guns Your opinions and your money and just go Get out of my life. Stay gone for good I dont love you. I never did How could i when you never took the time to actually be a mother.

Are you my mother?
Late nights and long drives Youre my constant in this spinning rotating crazy world Youre the poison that flows through my veins Youre the sickness when i get too high My one and only and you dont even know Shooting stars and delayed wishes Those are what keeps us bound together Fate tangled up our lives And she has trouble undoing the mess Do you even realize? That this crazy idea that we want this too last Isnt just some puppy love dream? Cant you see that when you look into my eyes? Can you not see the universe inside them? Do you slow down, Letting yourself get lost in my very presence? Does your heart not feel full of love? And all those other sappy sticky feelings When you look at me? Because baby, i know mine does And ill never be perfect in anybody elses eyes except yours But your eyes are the only ones that matter And god your eyes The colors of the night sky when the moon is nowhere to be found I could get lost in them Can you not see how i look at you!? How i feel about you?! Were the same but were so different And as i lay beside you Listening to the sounds that the morning brings I cant help but realize that the differences and similarities between us dont really matter Because what matters is how i feel about you And baby you know how i feel And so does the rest of this world I know my actions dont always show it And i know i can do better But youre still here Relationships are a road full of potholes and speed bumps And weve made it past the worst of them I know that sorry is only good enough for board games and spilled milk Not for broken hearts and shattered trust If i could take it all back i would If i could look into your eyes Cut my heart out and let all of my emotions and regret Out onto the floor then maybe its be enough For you to forgive me even if youll never forget And no matter the things that happen No matter the nightmares that haunt me in my sleep I hope youll continue to be by my side Sticking to me like glue Youre forever my constellation The universe inside my very soul And i can never be the same without you How could i? Ive been up in the stars for to long And baby i dont want to come back down

Like a shooting star Soaring across the black sky And falling to Earth. you saw me. you actually saw me.   you helped me up you dusted off my past and you took my hand,   you took my hand and showed me the world. The world that I had seen a million times Yet, this time was different This time you slowed me down. Taking me at a slower pace Than what I had been used to   Stopping to let me rest To let me take in the beauty Of watching the sunrise on top the mountains To lay with me underneath the stars Reminiscing with me about how grand they are   You listened as I told you stories Stories about how I got here About how amazing the universe is How I miss it How this isn’t home.   You promised me you would take me back Back home to my place among the stars You promised me that once our journey on this earth Was over That I would be back home with you by my side   But I never once thought that I would have to complete this journey alone

Slow Down
I’ve been sitting here Sitting here on this distant planet For what seems like years I ran away to get away from the dark. Away from a broken heart   I’ve sat And I’ve stared at the little dot every night That little dot that I had once called Home That no longer was Home in my heart   Then you appeared A cluster of stars Peeking out from behind the clouds I wanted you in that very moment I needed you   This distant planet I sat upon knew It Knew you were the one. The one I needed to call Home so it sent me off.   And I took flight once more Soaring through the galaxies Past the planets who nodded at me They too knew Knew that I was headed towards you The cluster of stars.   When I arrived It was unlike anything I had ever seen before Your stars, no longer a random cluster they had a place they had purpose they had me mesmerized   when I met you I was reborn reborn into a star a star who’s only purpose was to be with you to complete the cluster the constellation   you became my favorite constellation you ARE my favorite constellation WE Are my favorite constellation.

Cygnus the swan
They want me to come to them, they miss me they say, they’ll take care of me they say. These ghosts try to bribe me with empty promises and voided checks. An illusion of happiness and peace if i only give up the life i’m currently living and return to God They have no idea how ive changed. How clearly i can see now. Lady justice might be blind but i dont have to be, impartial justice doesnt exist with ghosts, never has and it never will. These ghosts no longer talk to me, i’ve strayed to far off the narrow road. Shunned for wanting to live a life that is my own, for wanting to love someone who is apart of the world. For so many things that i have done and that i continue to do and none of them are even evil! Not to the living at least. The memories of the years i devoted haunt me. I had tried so hard, so very very hard to prove my worth. To show them i could be a loyal follower of christ as well, the ghosts didnt care, it didnt matter how much i was struggling, how close to the edge i was, the traumas ive been through. I didnt pray enough, i didnt throw my burden solely upon god, i didnt go out and preach the word of god enough Instead i had turned to the world for help, i had turned towards people who’s job was to help me not want to die, to help me work through my problems. I had turned my back on the ghosts. And every-time i had tried to return to them they only made it harder for me to get into paradise. And after all they had done, after being labeled a deserter and being shunned, i still miss them. I sometimes still wish i could go back Making the choice to leave the organization easy. Not returning to God is the hard part.

Its 11:20 at night
 And youre gone. 
Saying youre tired, i get it. 
Long days are exhausting.
 We know she lied 
Angry at being rejected 
Lying about **** that almost ruined us 
I know she lied 
But its 11:20 at night
 And youre gone 
i have this nagging feeling
 Deep in my soul
 A soft whisper that speaks to me 
Tickling my ears,
 My mind wonders what youre doing 
Wandering through the wonders 
This whispering nagging feeling wont go away
 Watching you walk out the door 
I was up in the clouds, 
And yet i was still put on edge.
 Nervous, worried, fearful 
Now I’m up in my feelings 
Its 11:25 at night 
But youre at home asleep
 That voice whispers again 
It causes my feelings to burn in my throat 
When i try to inhale and accept them 
Im so high baby,
 but its not the same without you. 
And im so tired 
But i cant sleep when youre not here.
 If this is how you felt because of me
 Then god i wish i could take it all back 
I dont want these feelings anymore
 Please god take them away 
I love you so much 
And i never realized just how much 
Just how much i need you in my life. 
It’s 11:30 at night and i need sleep 
So ill end it with this,
 I’m sorry for ever doubting your loyalty, 
and
 Thank you for caring like no one else 
Has ever before
