21/F I cant tell you have long it's been since I've written. 3+ years for sure. But I've found a new muse. Someone who makes me want to find me again. So here I go.
We sat and I looked at the roses Thinking avout how beautiful this moment is How picture perfect A young couple in the moon light Sitting among the trees I could spend forever with you You asked me why I giggled so much What you didnt know was how ecstatic I was to be with you This happiness was too sureal This was a moment I only saw in my dreams Your lips were mine to kiss Your hands mine to hold This forever would be perfect Then you had this idea To climb the billboard And sit up with the trees............

I dive into the deep end Water fills my lungs As I struggle for air A voice calls out my name Familiar I let myself fall Dying dreams of me in your arms When I come back to reality He is the only thing on my mind.

My heart hurts My words aren't coming out quite right anymore I can see the sun But I'd rather lay in bed. Liquor Cigarettes **** and Lost Love That's what I'm now made out of. My heart is broken Shattered to pieces Laying on the floor of someone else bed room My mind is in a constant state of Fighting Battling Conflict Confusion And yet Even though lost love is my new name My mind is on newer brighter places. Like him. His hair. His smile. The smell of cigarette still on his skin. The way life feels when he's close Mindlessly touching my arm His hand brushing my back Drifting into a peaceful state. He is both the storm and the calm. When hes away I'm in the middle Stuck in a hurricane Threatening to blow me away But when he's near My god is the world beautiful Laughter fills the night. Smiles light up the room. I desire With such a burning passion To hear the soft comforting sound Of his heart beating as I lay on his chest. As tears fall on my keyboard He's what is on my mind. I feel wretched I feel ***** Yet I feel so empowered So incredibly OK Break ups hurt They tear a person inside out Destroy what makes up their heart. Their feelings Their emotions Everything But yet. I'm moving on Pushing forward Moving ahead on a path I only hope and wish leads to his arms. My mind is at battle A relentless conflict Between the hurt and the happy I just want to be better For his sake.

My heart
My emotions overwhelm me My mind is racing again With thoughts of the way your eyes light up when you smile at me And with thoughts on how it all can fall apart. My past has ruined me But you have the power to repair whats broken. Im scared my past will become my present And you'll disappear just as the others have. I'm trying to have faith That maybe you're my prince charming My knight in shinning armor The one to pull me out of my pit. How can one care so much for something so broken? You're my secondhand seranade. My heart is racing again As it always is when you're on my mind. I hope with all me heart you're my beginning Of the end of all my dark days. I wish to spill my guts to you For you to see my nasty insides. But I'm waiting. Waiting for my trust to be cconfirmed. Until then I'll take pen to paper And write to an imaginary you. Love songs and sappy quotes Is what your name means to me. Synonymous to hope and happiness. Even now I'm afraid that I won't be able to let go. They say third times the charm. But luck hasn't been my best friend. Yet here I am letting it all go Lett. Update: while I was writing this the person it was about ironically left me. Kinda funny how the world works. So I'll leave it be. Let it grow a deeper meaning. Symbolize the irony in everyday.

Go ahead and laugh at my jokes. Go ahead and think I'm just a funny person. But behind that witty humor. There's years of heart ache.

The Real Secret
Is it that bad to desire love? To desire to be desired. For one person out of the 7 billion on earth. Just one to NEED you. Isn't it bad to desire love? When a girl who gives the world her all. She feels lost and afraid. That lost little girl just needs love. Why is it so bad to fear? This little girl... She stands too tall and resolute. Until darkness falls. Why is fear a weakness? This girl is afraid to admit, she's scared of the dark. But it isn't the monsters outside. It's the monsters in her head. Why does everyone have to keep strong? This little girl... She only wants a home. She only wants love. Isn't it sad when one feels alone? This little girl has plenty of friends... But still feels so empty. Friendship isn't love, caring isn't love. Why is it so hard to love a broken girl? This little girl would do anything to feel loved once again. She would walk to the ends of the earth. Just to feel that warm embrace of a lover's arms. To be the object of one's affection. The little girl's one dying wish. This little girl has walked through battlefields. Just looking for a loving embrace. She's experienced tastes. And now she's hooked. Her drug is love. And now she's going through withdraws She just want's to be high on love again... Is that too much for me to ask for?

My (Lack Of) Love
Have you ever felt so utterly empty That you can't even do what you do best Words don't flow onto the page as they should Have you ever felt so utterly hopeless That you can't even get out of bed Your lungs don't even seem to want to work Have you ever felt so utterly worthless That you can't even take a strangers compliment Let alone even think of loving yourself Have you ever felt so utterly alone Even though you're in a room full of people You just seem invisible to all that is there Have you ever felt so utterly disgusting That you cringe at the sight of your own picture And can't seem to look at yourself in the mirror This is how I've felt..... For the past 4 years

Have You Ever
How do I reply When asked the question Of what is true beauty? I can't seem to answer It's not because I don't know Nor that I'm unsure. How can you put words to real beauty? Real beauty is a feeling. An emotion that dwells in the heart. Like the music notes to musicians. Like paint to an artist. Or words to a poet. As well as that smile of a partner. The laugh of a small child. Or the joyous tears of a precious moment. True beauty is based on one's desires. Like my desire to make my world, Built out of words and poems. Coloring the world With the black and white hues Of letters typed out on a screen. So when asked what is true beauty, There's only one true answer... Just look into your heart.

True Beauty
Here's to THOSE nights When you lay awake When it's 4 am And all you can do is let your mind wander Here's to THOSE nights When you lay completely still. Thinking. When you can't help but think of the worst And you can feel the pain in your chest Here's to THOSE nights When you can't help but cry When the pain becomes too much And your pillow is soaked in your tears Here's to THOSE nights When I'm missing those times When you held me so tight And told me it'd be ok Here's to THOSE nights When your thoughts are racing When you toss and turn in bed And you can't help but feel tired of breathing Here's to THOSE nights When you think things couldn't get worse When you think happy is impossible And life is no longer worth the fight Here's to THOSE nights.... When you hit rock bottom

Here's To Those Nights
I sit here at night Left only with the thought of you The pain in my chest It seems to spread I sit here at night Wanting to grab that bottle of pills Yet knowing I can't let you down Even though temptation is like a knife I sit here at night Wishing I could lock myself away And sit with the company of my razor But knowing I can't throw my streak away I sit here at night Longing for a big bottle of ***** Just to wash away the tears But I know I can't be a mess Still all I want to do is... Just Drink Life Away
