aaashleylopez - Hello Poetry

I can still feel the numbness entering my bloodstream, And my stomach wringing once reality’s claws ripped into me. My chest flooded with an emptiness I’d hoped to never come to know, An emptiness as heavy as the heavens right before a storm. Resistance would be futile, so I began to let myself drift, Hoping that by doing so I would somehow cease to exist. I wanted to scream and shout, but only silence rung in my ears. Waves of loneliness crashed over me as you confirmed my deepest fear. Hook, line, and sinker, I fell for your sweet deceit. I should have recognized the changes, so subtle and discrete. You can love someone deeply, You can trust someone implicitly, but truly knowing them is never a guarantee.

My soft moans are the lullabies that put your inhibitions to bed, And awaken the thoughts that awaken your head. Our bodies speak stories a thousand years old Of lovers speaking with tongues without control Of beginnings enticing enough to lead us to sin Of endings explosive enough to make us begin again.

You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty. You reflect others but retain nothing. You have nothing to offer except flickers of images. You absorb darkness but can't hold light. You are surrounded by people, Vain and empty, When your glass is intact and their reflections aren't distorted. You remain vain and empty. People use you for an SOS when they're lost And drop you when they're found. You're used and broken. Once you crack your shards are tossed to the side. No amount of glue can put you back together Once you're used and broken.

We all have monsters in our closets we'd rather not wake up. When we do, it's for someone that'll protect you. I woke mine up for you. Where are you now to protect me?

Our problem is that I fell in love First with your soul Then with your mind. Your body came last. You fell in love with my body and my touch. You only kept me hooked With pretty words and empty lies. I let you dig into my mind, While yours was sewn shut. You became a compulsive liar with your feelings. *I love you, I love you not. I love you, I love you not. I love you, I guess you love me not.* ***You are a ******* compulsive liar with your feelings.*** You played a game. It was called love. Guess what? I lost.

Compulsive Liar

I try and try to write about The love that keeps my heart beating And the love that tears it apart. I cry and cry every night about The hole in my chest that once was you And the hole in my chest that will continue. I pry and pry your mind To see why I am not enough And to see why and how our love went awry. I die and die every time I see pictures of her with you And I see pictures of when it was just Me and you.

Why, Oh Why

I try and try to write about The love that keeps my heart beating And the love that tears it apart. I cry and cry every night about The hole in my chest that once was you And the hole in my chest that will continue. I pry and pry your mind To see why I am not enough And to see why and how our love went awry. I die and die every time I see pictures of her with you And I see pictures of when it was just Me and you.

My mind is so clouded, My thoughts so corrupt. My chest feels so tightened, My breathing isn't enough. The air in my lungs Seems barely enough to get me by. My thoughts are so unstrung, I can't get them straight even if I tried. Heavens knows I'm trying To not be so ****** up, But these voices, they're crying, They won't let me interrupt.

No Title

My mind is so clouded, My thoughts so corrupt. My chest feels so tightened, My breathing isn't enough. The air in my lungs Seems barely enough to get me by. My thoughts are so unstrung, I can't get them straight even if I tried. Heavens knows I'm trying To not be so ****** up, But these voices, they're crying, They won't let me interrupt.

Though quiet are my lips, Rambunctious is my mind. Though cold is my soul, Warm is my crimson-stained skin. Bitter-sweet the poison That courses through my veins. "Craft a self-made cure," The voices in me said, "To forget all your sins." Watch all my pain, Flow swiftly away. Not a sound escapes As I slowly destroy What is destroying me.

Silence

Though quiet are my lips, Rambunctious is my mind. Though cold is my soul, Warm is my crimson-stained skin. Bitter-sweet the poison That courses through my veins. "Craft a self-made cure," The voices in me said, "To forget all your sins." Watch all my pain, Flow swiftly away. Not a sound escapes As I slowly destroy What is destroying me.

You strum the strings of my heart with your fingers' gentle touch. You change the sound of my melody with the firmness of your clutch. You tune the sadness out of my soul. You fill me with your rock n' roll. Please, Oh please don't strum too hard Or else you'll leave me marred. For I only have these set of strings To make my love for you sing. Dear player of mine, Don't be fooled by the shininess of my pine. My strings have reached their peak, I am not the guitar your talent should seek.
