i probably wrote something about you too / / facebook/twitter/instagram: @lizaswallace / lizaswallace.com
Wanting to see you happy took on a deeper meaning I got my wish and this is something I see you achieving My heart can’t decide whether to elevate or keep sinking I feel your love but sometimes I’m the one missing. I’m trapped in a hole of my own making It’s like I want to come up but I’m still debating Do I push myself off the ledge or keep praying I hope my love is strong enough to choose staying there’s nothing on your end that’s wrong, it’s me I’ve been working on letting me feel alive and free Keep regressing to a time where I’m afraid and weak and hope you don’t hate me if I reach a new peak Intrusively, I risk losing my precious purpose of being You’re sending the signs I need but I’m not seeing How much I mean to you becomes invisible to link With the love and happiness, I wish for you, to exist.

love, i can't feel anything
At times I wish I didn't care and didn't feel anything too deep but if i refused to care at all I wouldn't be here, I wouldn’t be me. Many things I see, I find pre-defined A darkness is left, the kids aren’t alright Yet within the chaos, the shot of hope gleams A chance for redemption, before the final dream. My love unveils both joy and sorrow A kaleidoscope of emotions for today and tomorrow Even in depths of despair, resilience rises Shadows and trials end with silver-lined surprises. To feel deeply is my way to truly live A tapestry weaves the stories I have to give For even in shadows, my light does grow My heart guides me to what the truth knows. So I seek to embrace the highs and lows Through my rivers of tears, a garden grows In vulnerability, I find a reality Worthy of bonding with all humanity.

vulnerability
What opportunity you were to me You were a lesson I thought was luck Allowed to dip myself into your sweet honey Not realizing that I would be even more stuck. The pain I’ve gained by playing your games Had me come out knowing better, real from fake. I had been too willing to please you Wanting you to say “I need you” Because otherwise how was I to prove I’m worthy Before I realized you’re not meant to be my trophy. I felt lucky to have you, Because it felt good to have something Until I realized the hurt isn't worth Losing all of me over simply nothing. I believed the red flags were tests To prove myself more capable than the rest Learned love should not be a battle With my suffering a requisite

red flags + trophies
A passionate love must be exciting to feel. Maybe that is why the chaos appeals. Because I love you so much but does my love excite you? Or are you convinced that it’s not real?

what's the appeal?
Did you manifest me? Because everything I want, I get, and somehow you’re the cherry 🍒 on top that has me convinced, you actually are proof that it’s that easy to be valued back like I asked. How could you desire to love me already when you barely know me? In exchange for your love, I could give you the world. I’m a selfish creature that can create kingdoms from chaos, but for the ones I love, I have abilities that can give them the throne. But while my love is strong, it’s also fragile… at the sign of betrayal, all that existed for you would convert to dust. The tragedies from the past have yet to recover from themselves while I continue to be a force to be reckoned with. I am a muse of desire. A muse with powerful capacity. I’m here to inspire, to serve more than I look to be served. But I serve not one person. I love. Regardless who you are. If you love me back, like an alchemist, I will show you what worlds I could create with our love.

muse
There’s no empathy from that I hold on to, I hope to stop hoping for help soon. I’m not helpless, just paid less, no attention goes to a screaming silence.
 I’m letting it all go soon. Would be surprised if they ask, where did she go to? Lost sleep last night to my empty bedroom. The sad faces I drew on my walls won’t even stay blue. 
I cant feel worth as much as I know. I miss my favorite things and yet I won’t, do the things to bring me to smile, and feel whole? I only do things that bring me to tears, like this **** I wrote.

3am attempt to sleep again
when you say you wanna heal broken people, I tend to reveal a broken sequel I'm usually doing fine until i remember of what I've been through and I still cant let myself cry in front of you. just feel jaded, numb, wishing I was gone. But these are the facts I stick to: I never had something this good, my heart races at every view When things get a little shaky, my mind thinks "too good to be true" It's what I'm used to, I've lost what I'm close to I've never lost hope, but I feel like I'm supposed to Im in deep waters, regardless if i chose to going to feel it hard, like I overdosed you When it's too much, I'd always excuse you. But you chose to stay when I don't expect you.

a sequel draft
I panic internally at the thought of being seen. Not the light I'm afraid of, it's not being believed. hard to love, that's been accepted. That's for not being accepted; by the folks who claim to love you, you'd think it'd be expected. I didn't know conditions come with it. Love got so tough, I broke apart and left it. Hard life lessons learned so young, but thick skin kept it together. I cried the dark, it seemed, if no one sees, it'd be better. And yet, here you come along, with plenty of effort. Upon hearing she can't feel strong, you say "let her." Never been afforded sensitivity; I can't trust myself in vulnerability. The heart sinking feelings comes with my inactivity and there's no credibility when it comes to my mentality, my mental reality. And all I ask from you is to believe me. Only then will t be okay for you to see me. Only then will I be able to open up to you easily. You'll not have to deal with me closing and leaving. Hard life lessons learned so young, but thick skin grows in pressure. I only cried the dark cuz if no one sees, it's be better. And yet, here you came along, you've made the effort: to remind her it's okay to feel strong, she is treasure.

to be myself?
maybe i should sleep, my thoughts too quick running from left to right, i think ima be sick and my feelings too deep, tryna come out but in struggling to set my self straight i write ton of **** i dont know about i dont know myself, at least like most hear maybe ive changed too much in the last year someone new came in since i started here so i think of staring at myself all night til i gain the knowledge, lose the fear someone else wont take over for me i dont think ive yet set myself free and up to now, ive let others lead but its no longer how i want it to be in the meantime, maybe i should sleep and when sunrise comes, ill start to think things will be much different from now on in light, all uncertainty will then be gone.
