cassandra-leigh - Hello Poetry

Your eyes captivated me the first time we spoke The fire in your words warmed me You told me on our first date that I would break your heart I couldn't decide whether or not that was true We moved fast, and I fell for you unknowingly As time went on your fire began to fade You planted the seed of doubt in my heart Now you can decide whether or not you choose to water it

I cannot connect When i am in a room full of people i hide myself away in boxes I was told once that we accept rhe love we think we deserve but i feel that i deserve solitude I cannot escape the grasps of this all encompassing self loathing, and hatred, and pity I know that I cannot love you until i learn to love myself But no one ever told me how impossible that would be

In her arms you found something that you never saw in me There are no words to say how I yearn for you, but in all honesty I always just wanted you to be happy I never thought I was capable of love before I met you But we were not star crossed lovers just two people who never should have met I would have given you everything had you asked so a small part of me is grateful that you didn't Being with you was like life on fire Everything I felt was nearly unbearable You brought me to life in ways I'll never let you know I'm so bitter when the sad truth is I drove you away You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen I wanted to keep you with me but I knew it wasn't right I am glad that you are happy but I wish you were happy with me

I would like to think that I was more than just a one night stand I like to pretend that when you think of me you want nothing more than just to hold my hand To me you've always felt a little too much like home But when I'm in your arms, you're mind is elsewhere and I still feel alone I would give you the world if you could find solace in the touch of my skin Instead of drunken nights, laced with the scent of impending regret and accidental sin Waking up in your bed could have been so much more than just another mistake But love isn't something you choose and how you feel is not my choice to make

One Night Stand

I would like to think that I was more than just a one night stand I like to pretend that when you think of me you want nothing more than just to hold my hand To me you've always felt a little too much like home But when I'm in your arms, you're mind is elsewhere and I still feel alone I would give you the world if you could find solace in the touch of my skin Instead of drunken nights, laced with the scent of impending regret and accidental sin Waking up in your bed could have been so much more than just another mistake But love isn't something you choose and how you feel is not my choice to make

I spent too much time looking at old photos losing myself in places I used to be seeing how beautiful I never believed I was years I wasted hating someone so pure I want to be that girl again the one who woke up every day, despite the pain and smiled smiled like she ******* meant it though some days she didn't I can hardly stand the reflection that taunts me now the vacant eyed empty shell of someone worth knowing I pretend I am still her but there is bitterness in my words I can't look at her anymore I'm taking down the mirrors

I will not write about the way we met I cannot tell a story that has not reached it's ****** yet I will not write about the way you make me feel When words arrive on paper they are in the world to steal I will not write about the way you changed my mind When I had decided there was nothing left out there for me to find I will not write about the way I'm falling far too fast For when I say these things aloud they never seem to last

Please help me I have never been so desperate Set me free My life's become so desolate I don't know who to call 689 "friends" that never speak There is no net to catch my fall My life is so ******* bleak It hurts too much to cry I can't stand this anymore I am giving up my will to try I am emptied out to my very core Please, please, help me.

I can't get you out of my head There's a stranger asleep in my bed Visiting my old town I've never felt so alone I lost the place I once called home I used to be optimistic and kind searching for happiness I thought I would find I've lost my will to try, to hope My heart is breaking in every scope Coffee and cigarettes I can't keep living this way There's nothing left to make me stay I can't remember how to breathe I hate goodbye's, but love to leave

Coffee and Cigarettes

I can't get you out of my head There's a stranger asleep in my bed Visiting my old town I've never felt so alone I lost the place I once called home I used to be optimistic and kind searching for happiness I thought I would find I've lost my will to try, to hope My heart is breaking in every scope Coffee and cigarettes I can't keep living this way There's nothing left to make me stay I can't remember how to breathe I hate goodbye's, but love to leave

I wish I could reach out and touch you To hear you say you love me, and believe that it is true I wish I could fall asleep in your arms With security knowing i was safe from harm I wish i could still remember your scent Instead of laying awake wondering where you went

Autumn crept up on us slowly We felt the lingering touch of Summer start to fade And the heat that had seeped into our skin Was beginning to dissipate I watched the leaves go from brilliant green To deep oranges and reds They were beautiful despite the fact that they were dying It broke my heart to watch the trees betray them When the last leaf fell, you were already gone Summer has returned to me, this time I am aware that it is fleeting.

Leaves
