English Poetry is intimate feelings that one can not always voice, yet when heard, the experience is life changing.
Last night I let you in, more than normal. I let you in because I see you. I see you, but do you see me? I know, I know, I am not supposed to love you, not supposed to think about you. Yet, my lips they yearn for yours to meet as often as the sea meets the shore I know, I am not supposed to love you, but your eyes pull me your heart is a beat i love to dance to and your person, well is a person I have to try not to love and much like the rest of the world I am not supposed to love you.

I'm not supposed to love you
Into the toxicity of your mind The crafted words from your soft lips To someone without my ears To someone with your heart Into the poisonous of your arms Which are now holding someone without my body Touching skin that is not mine And elating feelings that for me no longer exist Into your lethal heart That used to beat for me Now beats a rhythm I cannot longer dance to And holds a song I no longer sing Into your veneered eyes The longing look of love Straining to peer at eyes that are not mine Answered by someone without my pupils How I long for insight into your mind A mind I no longer care for But still yearn for validation from A mind for which is no longer vacant for me

Insight
A day without you, Is like a day without land But I bought this boat, I said goodbye I am not allowed to yearn, For the grass under my feet I told the grass and trees, I don’t want them anymore So here I am, At sea But sometimes those waves, That once rocked me to sleep Ya those waves I wanted, Instead of leaves They crash over me, Until I cant breath And I cry out for land, Just to steady me But the land isn’t there, Because I said no more And the sea is endless, And there is no shore So Ill sail away, Until tomorrows end Because the land I need, I told to leave.

Without Land
I am force fed mud, and expected to create water. Surrounded by darkness, and told to be the light. I am deceived, only to spill the truth. I am what you made me: very, very flawed.

What you make of me
I did not do it for you, punch that mirror, slice my hand open, which is now stitched up. I did it for me, to get through to the reflection, to inform them, they are better without you. I did not do it for you, I did it for the hand attached to me, because it will never know the pain of being alone. I did it for me, So I could justify my crying, I wasn't some stupid girl, Upset over a boy. I didn't do it for you, I promise, I did it for me, I love to hurt.

For me
Fresh and cold, Traces of others are left behind, Warm from someone else’s body. Bright green and pungent, Rows and rows of structure. Arms stretched out inviting you in, Desks buckle you in for your journey, Constrained in the sea of green, One amongst a hundred. Smells of sweet and pungent fill your nostrils, Making you queasy, Reminding you, you are not the first, Nor the last. All facing the same structure, Illuminated by rows and rows of lights, Empty wooden U- shaped chairs stare back, Blank screens stare to the rows and rows of green. A clock reminds you of life, It slowly ticks You wonder when this ticking will stop, And you too will be just part of the structure. Imagine this room flooded, No with water, Nor a basic organic matter, But faces like daisies peeking up, To try and get some of that light. Complex and curious, The green does not move, But calls for the movement of others, Pleading for you to get closer to the light, To the blank, That is center stage. Trapped in green, You cannot move, Arms incase you, Desks control you, And this light, It has captured you.

Green Sea
I was a triangle. Three sided. Predictable. I thought you were too. Three sided. Predictable. Two triangles. A diamond. Perfect. One side. Happiness. Sunshine. Second Side. Sadness. Raining. Third Side. Lust. Sunsets. You were a circle. One side. Forever. Around and around. Disguised. Infinite.

A triangle meets a circle
You told me we have forever, then you decided forever was too many months. You told me I was beautiful, then you decided beautiful was only when I was happy. You told me I was priority, then you decided priority was after everything else. You told me not to hurt, then you decided that hurt was not what you were doing. You told me we were perfect, then you decided that perfect was only you. I told you goodbye, then you decided goodbye was not real.

Tell me what you want...
I sit and I listen all day. I know how to write and solve functions and all about the anatomy of a human. I listen to professors drone on and obediently I write every word down. Afterwards I sit and I stare and question; when will I need this? I am homesick and miss my love. I am tired and stuck. I feel helpless and out of control. And yet, I sit and I listen all day.

I am sick and tired of you talking about other girls Calling them weird and ugly and fake When it is you who slathers on the makeup Hiding behind false beauty I am tired of overhearing you calling a girl fat Because she is not a size two When it is you who starved yourself To look as you do today I am done with you walking like you have a stick up your *** Pretentiously scavenging the halls for your next target When it is you who has been the target as of late And you pay no mind I am appalled by your arrogance Telling professionals they have no right to tell you how to live When they can see where you are heading For you are not as original as you seem I am sorry for how sad you must be Constantly looking inward When all you find is an empty abyss Peering back at you I am apologetic for what you have to go through Constantly fighting battles that are far beyond your years When they are far bigger then you And anything you can do Most of all I am content That we are not longer friends No longer yearning for When all you could tell me Was how bad I was.
