What makes you Stronger
Avaleen Jul 2018
I watch as you plastered your words on my skin
until each wretched lie was permanently seared in my flesh
a constant reminder that I am not what the worlds wants
or even needs
but
instead of hating the scars I nurtured them and watched them grow
they  blossomed into flowers
and when they wilted away with your lies  
their infinite
fragrance
stayed

A Love that Never Existed
Avaleen Jun 2018
This love
was destined
to
die
for how could I love you
if I didn't even know how to love myself
-the escape of self-love

Haiku for the Heavens
Avaleen Jun 2018
Wish upon a star
And watch the constellations
crumble under greed
-because sometimes wishing for something is worse than not wishing at all

casualty
Avaleen Jun 2018
Each wilted word that fell from those thorny lips only bred despair. but. those piercing lips and sharpened tongue
which mercilessly cut others down
also cut itself to shattered bits
every. single. time.

Sleepless
Avaleen Jun 2018
Don’t fall asleep darling,
your life is much too brilliant to miss any of it.
-and a life of brilliance is worth staying awake for

Illusions
Avaleen Jun 2018
don't get too close
you may see the rose
but you'll feel the thorns
-my defense

Unstoppable
Avaleen Jun 2018
Don't stand in my way.
I will trample you under my dreams
-passion is blind to all adversaries

Not Just Another One
Avaleen Jun 2018
And the truth is,
I am only lonely because
I'd rather stand alone.
then stand
with people who love me at their convenience.
-when conditional love makes you feel more lonely than actually being alone

Silent
Avaleen Jun 2018
don't waste your silence
on words better spoken
holding your breath will only make you suffocate

Lost Adventure
Avaleen Jun 2018
and I decided to stay because there would be so many adventures lost without me
-continuing life

The Undoing
Avaleen Jun 2018
and your words unravel me
like the silken strands you were woven from

Self-love
Avaleen Jun 2018
the day I realized my worth
the sky cracked open and the universe
swallowed itself
-even the world was intimidated

Wonderland
Avaleen Jun 2018
Don't try and find me,
the world I live in is far away
and not entirely real
-I create my own reality

Home
Avaleen Dec 2017
This house doesn’t feel like home.
For you or me
But
You still stay, even when you want to fly
And that is love.
When you clip your own wings to stay by my side.
and that is why you feel like home, even in the absence of one.

Delicate
Avaleen Oct 2017
My words shatter in the air
leaving a space between the voices
of what could have been

Pieces
Avaleen Oct 2017
Take every broken piece of me
but
don't try to put them back together
I've tried
I'll show you the scars, and bruises
of my heart
to prove it, but,
I don't think I need to.
You already know
how it feels to cut yourself with glass.
Take my broken pieces
and hang them off the highest tower
you can find.
and let the light
dance off them
and make them glint like fire.
Then even though they are broken and shattered
They will become art
like a stained glass mosaic.
And people will come and gape at my beauty
For some did not even know it existed
but, make sure you do not let these people
touch my shattered pieces.
For they will only crack it with their
frosted fingertips...

For how do you think I became broken in the first place?

Extinguished
Avaleen Aug 2017
Eyes stained with tears
Clinging to porcelain skin
The ocean blue in her eyes never left, it just faded
Just like the flame inside her

Addicted
Avaleen Aug 2017
Let’s waste our youth on these mindless games
On these pixelated screens
Warped from reality
All. Of. Us.
Let’s pretend our world doesn’t exist
And when it burns to the ground
We’ll be left standing in the ashes wondering what went wrong

Door
Avaleen Aug 2014
I stand in the room of opportunity
                  all the doors are closed and tightly locked

there is nothing left for me to do
except build a door,
    a door that will give me  

                  the right opportunities

                          a new chance

           a door that will lead me to the future

— The End —
