Gleaming from their natural glow
They walk
Eyelashes grown from pure innocence
They speak
Lips died red from tomorrow's sun
They stand
They're strong women: they fight

Mind crafted like an artisans glass bowl
But they don't shatter
Heart flowering like a rose bush
But theres thorns
Courage like a thousand burning flames
They stand
They're strong women: they fight

Gleaming from the tinted paint
I walked
Eyelashes covered but never healed
I spoke
Lips burnt red from yesterday's sun
I stood
I am a woman: I will fight

Mind broken like a cheap glass bowl
I'm shattered
Heart wilted like a frozen winters flower
Left with thorns
Courage burnt out like a dying flame
I stood
I'm just not strong like those women

He strolled along the fractured pathway
The wind stormed in his fright
His right thumb over his left index
His mind busy for the night

Leaves of red blew in a hurry
The grass appeared red too
He fiddled with his over coat
As the restless wind blew

All the world felt icy cold
All the world looked painted red
All the world slammed their doors
And released his fear instead

He fought to keep his balance
But the universe was too much
He fell onto his bruised up knees
His legs buckled with a crunch

He kept up with the struggle
He fought through the racing tide
His mind battled through the jungle
However his body was inside

He never realized what was broken
Not the pathway or his strife
So he fought hard for a moment
But then he grabbed his knife
He survived.
For those that are struggling: it's ok to ask for help you don't have to fight your battles alone.

Icy cold spiky pain
Fear of love or loss
Live until you hurt again
Broken happy thoughts

Once was pink Then was red
Now it's black it's gone
Fear is like an infrared
And Invisible love

Everywhere I go I see blood
Dripping down my imprisoning glass walls
Painted red handprints on the doorstep
I see blood dripping from her painful lies
And pouring from his wrists
I see blood

Everywhere I go I see blood
I see red smudges spelling "I know who you are" on the counter top
I see red pools on the ground next to her
I see a crimson trail leading from my school
Coming to my home and to the homes of others
I see blood

Everywhere I go I see blood
I see red drips coming from my shoulder, my arm and my face
I see red lies dripping from my friends mouths
I see crimson decorations lining the walls of my murderer
I see blood

If you love me
Just leave me
Like the wave left sand
If you love me
Just leave me
Like your palm left my hand
If you hate me
Then stay with me
So I can't hurt you more
But if you love me
Please leave me
Walk right out the door
Ayla Grey Sep 24
An eyelash fell on my cheek today
And without much thought I flicked it away
No wishes to be made
No games to be played
Just like my old eyelash
I floated away
Ayla Grey Sep 22
The sun came on out today
With your smile
The world spun in your name
I heard your laughter
Everyone says it'll be ok
It doesn't matter anymore

But here is where I am
Thinking about you
And here is where I stand
Dreaming about you
And every day that passes
I need you even more

And everytime I see you
I open my mouth and I
     Try
            To
                  Say
I love you even more
Than you can imagine
And everyday there's a new door
With this pathway
That leads me to your smile
And I often wonder why
I can't tell you
But I don't ever think it through
Why can't I say I love you
This works better as a song with a beat I created in my head for it
