You took my heart and left
I trusted you
and
spilt my guts
yes I spoke my mind
spelt out
every heartfelt moment of love
for you
now you come back
After disecting my heart
trying to convince me
how much you  love me
I'm sorry
my heart changed it's mind
and
my head tells me
that
you're just playing
mind games
I like that you like me
I hate that I don't see
How good you are for me
So I doubt what this could be
and I embrace my lonely.
Why can't I just like you back?

For every story of addiction
has trauma at the root

Thats the usual case anyway.
I'm sorry everyone for not updating as much as I want.
I'm still feeling really unwell...
Hugs everyone

I'm afraid of my voice
Of what it may sound like
I'm scared to death of what you'll think
Because it could be the death of me
I must take it slowly
Or I'll lose it
The soul                

Unscathed is the body ,
Drifted has the soul,
Aloof to some distant plane ,
Peace it seeks,
Jeopardises... it dreads,
Shall the quest ever be complete.

Deep is the hurt ,it fails to heal.
Seeks nourishment from within ,
It has to heal ..
To look outwardly beautiful...
Because it was always beautiful !!
My first post on hello poetry, and first ever written piece by me :)
Written on 19 - 10 -2016
Blinding flashes of lightning
Deafening claps of thunder
Unflinching, mushrooms sprout in my backyard
It was always a joke,
“I couldn’t make it”
Was always just a game,
You were always there anyway,
You always came,
It felt like magic.

You wove your way into my every day life,
You took over the small private comforts
That I used to stay alive,
Teapots,
Work gloves,
Scarves,
Mugs,
You pushed yourself into my existence.

Every time the world was destroying me,
Every time it was too much,
Every time I couldn’t handle it all,
You were suddenly there,
Like magic,
Like my own little miracle.

Please just give me one more tiny miracle...
Don’t do this to me.
