Move over now lovestruck child
Your tears cannot bring me to my knees
Its an old tale of wrath and discord
I don't love you or your deep blue seas
It ***** to be a girl like me
Hush hush little crush
Stop that foolish quickening heart beat
You hold no warmth to my flame
My passion could traumatize your petty dreams
No one could truly love a girl like me
You don't have to say it
Though I love it when you do
You don't have to buy me things
But I love that a lot too
You don't have to text it to me
Or yell it down the street
Because I know you truly love me
When you hold me in your sleep

When I was small
I walked on fairy dust and
my dreams were as tall
as skyscrapers towering
above the universe
inside of me, was the galaxy.
I was born of the cosmos,
full of light and love
passionate in my quest to
give this to others.
But as I grew my star began to fade,
stars need love and light to survive
and deprived of both my blazing fire
transformed into weak candlelight.
At school I had learnt it was easier
to hide your light
than to stand out as different
and be extinguished in an instant.
So I kept myself to myself
at the back of the class,
knowing the answers but not
shouting them out.
I daydreamed, and doodled
stars on the corners
of my books, all the while
I could hear the universe
calling out to me to trust,
that we are all born of this
cosmic stardust.

I
remembered you,
you
remembered
me,
I believed in you,
You believed in me,
We were both sea creatures
traveling
uncommon seas.

We had taken to that
unconscious ocean
to see in the sea,
What we could see.

It's been a strange journey
of that there is no doubt.

Where everyone walks with
their insides in,
We travel these seas
with our
insides out,
We don't know any other
way to be
when you're swimming through
these
uncommon seas.

It's often a desert
out there,
But inside here
all kinds of musty
characters
drudged up from
anxious memory
inhabitants of this sea -
Sponge Bob Square Pants
has
nothing on you or me,
We are all travelers
in this uncommon sea.

Our bathing suits left far behind,
the temperature sometimes
too hot
too cold
depending on our state of mind,
There's strife
confrontation
character assination
often
uncommon seas
are far from placid.

The joy of traveling
though
you and me,
Sea creatures
feeling
the longing,
Finally belonging,
Where somewhere
and
sometimes
out of the blue,
A Beluga whale
speaks
your
name
so
perfectly
and
swims alongside
you and me
in
uncommon seas.
The symbol for the unconscious in dreams has been known to be the ocean.
I give you flowers and tears
You give me sarcasm
I wish you would show a little more sympathy
You'd rather I get a backbone
I whisper unspoken love on your shoulder
You say it with a mothering tone
I have a panic attack whenever something doesn't fit
You dismiss it all with an iron fist
I dream of a place full of love and passion
You're just thankful you even exist
Money, ***, miscommunication and occasional road trips
It's not necessarily a bad thing just
Our own sort of a
**Dysfunctional relationship
Funny how we've made the choice
To die even before we are born

Funny how many attempts we can make
Before we finally fall

Funny how long it takes for the blood to run out
And leave us for once and for all

Funny how much your body can handle
When you don't want to deal no more

Funny how gas can make you laugh and cry
When you're locked in the car and don't even care why

Funny how many pills your system can take
When death is the option you've already made

Funny how long we can hang in the balance
Between the length of a noose and the floor

Funny how hard our dreams can hit us
And with the car we could never afford

Funny how heavy water can feel
When its welling up in your lungs

Funny how the ones who aren't afraid to do it
Are the ones you'd never guessed would jump

Funny how people start paying attention
When you're holding the gun to your head

Funny how our own thoughts eat us alive
Aren't we all just better off  **dead?
I'll be watching you
As you sleep under the moon
Two days since you last saw noon
Wrapped up in your cocoon
You'll be holding me
Wishing only to be
Everything you can't set free
At least that's how it seems
If only I was yours
I'd rock you to the core
Release you from this bore
And burst you into spores
Baby you gotta let go
I promise you I know
Your anxiety it shows
Like a black shadow on your snow
Still you can't move
It's too much only to prove
That you can't win or lose
When the strangling hands groove
The night treats you well
As daylight brings us hell
Reducing every cell
But only time will tell
Nothing can erase the pain we feel,
It's nothing in comparison to the pain we deal.
We'd much rather hold this feeling near,
So we can remember how it felt to upset those we hold dear.

There comes a time when one evaluates ones self worth,
To revise all that ones done since their birth.
We've done amazing things, but the good never outweigh the bad
No matter how much we smile, there is no hiding that we are sad.

We wear glasses to hide our tired weeping eyes,
We put on that fake smile and wear it as our disguise.
The hardest part of being strong, Is no one asks if you're okay,
We know deep down there isn't enough on this Earth that we could say.

Are  you  okay?
My lover has disappeared from hellopoetry
Another poet has died and it's such a shame to see
That this love of mine has no more for me to read
As he comes home from work to curl up next to me
His heart is filled by the warmth of mine
Though he no longer writes he'll be certain to shine
As my beautiful man with words that don't rhyme
But are just as sweet as the reddest glass of wine
He may no longer write but I will write every line
For him and his love until the end of time
For imrighthere, My-mind-for-a-crook, Death throws
and any other name you went by on here,
I love you and hope to live a fulfilling life with you, Layten Griffiths x
With love from Kaity x
