empty shell
Emily Mar 2019
I thought life was simple
I thought lots of things
and now I think not
but feel this empty shell rot
I am like a crab, a shell that holds nothing special
I am hallow but still
all filled with the no-pain pill
I am lost
a soul with no cost
and when this empty shell brakes
the sky will shake
it'll rain and my soul will be freed
from this world full of greed

stuck
Emily Jan 2020
thoughts rush
adrenaline kicks
heart beats
heart sinks
            down
                   down
                          down
       until your stuck in the thoughts that couldn't be
why mother?
          why leave me?
I though I was your doll.
I though I was your happiness.
instead i'm trapped.
stuck.
no where left to go.
what do I do with life now.
what do I do with no love,
no hope.

Today
Emily May 2019
I write of life
I find the keys to unlock the chains
holding me back hidden in the pain.
Today
I write of hope.
A light in the darkness,
love in a world of hate.
Today
I am me,
no mask to hide my truest self.
today
I smile.
Today
I dream,
of lighter days and starry nights
and endless skies.
Today
I do.

dayz
Emily Oct 2021
one of those days where you cant stop reliving moments or being reminded of things, When your mind cant be silenced and you just want to revert to the nothingness waiting in the cold wondering if youll feel something other than this again. sad but not quite sad, alone but not quite alone, alive but not exactly living

Another poem
Emily Apr 2019
When you look up to the sky
and the stars they don´t shine
the sky it cries
and the world it lies
the people they take
until theirs nothing left to give away
people tare their pieces down
while others just frown
until their soul cant take the pain
the broken have nothing left to gain
the world is tough
and the road is rough
can you hear the endless words?
can you hear the endless screams?
do I even mean a thing?
was I just another shame?
was I another piece in your game?
am I just a walking corpse hallow as can be?
or am I alive ?
although I feel dead inside
under my pride
under my joy
was I just another toy?
in this game for two
I´m broken over you
don´t know why but I wrote this with my little sister, we´ve been through hell and back as I try to teach her how to let go of the pain inside. I write and now she dose too.

its lovely to have you around and dance in your light or sink in your darkness but the stars hide in the morning and they take the moon with them so I cannot be seen in your day only wishing from a far.

do you understand or will you cut the roses thinking of death only to find they just needed some water?

Again

She holds her breath
She dives deep
She then forgets
Nothing to hold on to
She questions the world
Then it goes again
Again.
And again.
He holds his breath

He then forgets
Nothing to hold on to
He questions the world
Then it goes again
Again.

glass
Emily Apr 2019
stabs deeper then knives
clear but solid
breakable like flesh
painful like life
blood stains like the sunset
ripped jeans like a clawed leg
rush of Adrenalin real like addictions
deep
deep
deep inside my right leg
deep
glass left it behind
a cut
no.
a hole like wound
needing stitches
needing life
deep.
true story
different words

lies
Emily Feb 2019
the lies you tell me hurt.
the lies in your eyes ace.
the lies in your heart burn.
if only you loved me enough to not lie.
if only you weren't the lair I never thought you'd be.
lies. lies. lies.
why all the lies.
they hurt and ace and burn.
I never knew words could **** until I died by the ones you told.
I hate lies.

Cry
Emily Jan 2019
Cry
The feeling of tears sliding down my cheek.
The feeling of letting go of something you've hold on to for to long.
The feeling of freedom at times.
The melancholy taste.
The rush of adrenaline.
Stuck.
Held hostage.
Forgotten.
Cry.
Letting go of those that wronged you.
Cry.
Letting the emptiness fill.
Cry.
No holding back.
Just cry..
Feel relived.
Cry.
people say that crying is showing those your weak side, some say its a sign of weakness. A friend once told me that only the strongest people will cry infrunt of those they love and trust, at times that they need to let go... so is crying weak? or is it a sign of strength?

you again
Emily Mar 2020
butterflies storm around me as i try to shoo them away
embarrassed and hoped you didn't see them trying to go your way
its been a while since we've talked.
but these feelings haven't left
they all came back, these unchanged feeling. all when i seen-
you again

words
Emily Nov 2018
words can cut deeper then a knife
words can hurt more then a punch to the face
words can care more then a hug
words can brake more then him
words can make you
words can brake you
words can heal you

beautiful
Emily Jun 2019
A single rose in a forest of lilies and daffodils
a single beauty in a world of ugly
afraid to show the world its beauty
looking for love in a world full of hate
closing doors in the way of fate
running away from pain
wearing reveling clothing so others love her
a single rose growing with the lilies and daffodils
hidden from the truth
that she is beautiful

Someone
Emily Mar 2019
I know         a      someone          
     who's                                  special to me   
I know a someone                               as happy as can be
I know a someone that's                                   brighter then the sun
I know a someone who's                                       in love with another
I know a someone who                                             was played like a game
by the someone                                                          ­                      that he
loved
I know a someone that                                                       owns a broken heart
Someone that                                                             ­       deserves much better
Someone that                                                             ­         deserves a queen
Someone that                                                            d­eserves happiness
but                                                    ­                                    instead
gets                 ­                                                           betray­al
I know a someone who's             like a cloud full of rain
I know a someone who has a battle with their brain
I know a someone who's the owner
of a broken heart I know
a someone
special to
me.

"funny"
Emily Jun 2019
its "funny" to you that i'm broken
its "funny" how I cant sleep at night
with horrid thoughts running through my mind
its "funny" to see me brake more and more
its "funny" to you, how i'm slowly dying inside
its "funny"how its all for you
its "funny" how I broke my pieces to fill yours
its "funny" how i'm so dumb to not realize sooner that i'm just a filling.
A tool.
For you to freely use.
its "funny" how you lied everyday as we breathed and lived
its "funny" how I trusted you
its "funny" how I loved you, so blinded
and now i'm laughing to the sound of my minds, heart, and soul break into two for someone like you.
funny not funny

Miles Apart
Emily Feb 2021
yet you stayed awake with me
I wish to know the feeling of your warmth
or to hear your voice
I want to make you smile
or comfort you when you cry
I wish to know how your hand will feel when holding mine
or to laugh with you in the sun
I want to take in your fragrance
or to admire every detail of you

we're miles apart but it feels like your right here
I miss you
When we meet, I promise to love and adore you
I'll give you all my love
and admire everything about you
add it to a list
so when we're miles apart
I can tell you what I love about you each day

deceiving sun
Emily Nov 2020
It gave false hope and hidden nightmares within its rays
It gave only lies threw the clouds and left the moon with the sad aftertaste or the truth
The trees knew the truth yet they smiled back
The birds still sang their songs even when the sun didn't sing it back
When did the world prefer a lie?
When did the moon hold so much sadness even in its most peaceful times?
When did the sun deceive the dreamer?
It was when the clouds begged for warmth,
when they couldn't handle winters truth.
Emily May 2019
The light dims
And the shadows lurk
The sound of a braking limb
Echoes in the distance, in the endless hole of emptiness
The owner of the heart cries
But no one is to hear his sorrows
He is lost
He is forgotten
Yet he has not put himself in this aching pain
But she did
She used him until he was nothing
She threw him in this hole
Into this state of heart and mind
Into this feeling lost inside
Left to think
Why?
Left in the thought of
What did I do wrong?
Left with no one but himself.

He got use to this way of living for a while
Until she stepped in
She tried to bring a light
Tried to fix the broken
But instead
Foolish girl, he took you down with him
And the light leaves
His hole is filled with a replacement of hers
And now she walks around broken
Echoes bouncing on the walls of this hole
And now she's crying as he did and screams to the world
And he leaves her as another did to him.
And the never ending cycle continues.

you still haunt my heart
Emily Jan 2021
I dreamt of you last night
the bitterness of seeing you again stung
like salt to an opened wound
I was exposed
my truest colors being one with the wind
your truest smile still fresh in my memory

In this nightmare
you still loved me
as I loved you
it scared me
the feeling of having my best friend back

In the beginning
I thought it was real
then realization kicked in
It was merely relived memories
I still miss you sometimes

When I awoken
tears still fresh from emotion
laid upon my face
the melancholy taste still stung my heart
I wanna forget about you again
it hurts to remember
how much you mean to me

I cant help but wonder
if the ghost of our happiness
haunts you too
forgot to post this

I'm not alone
Emily May 2021
I'm not alone.

I have my thoughts to keep me occupied.
In my mind i'm still in your arms,
I can hear your words as you speak to me.

I'm not alone.

Although it may feel like that all the time.
I still have you in my mind.
Even though the hole hasn't filled sense your gone.

I'm not alone.

I was the one who wanted this.
It was my choice from the begging.
So why?
Why do I feel so lost inside?
Why does it hurt to think of my decision?
I regret my choices,
I shoulda listened.

I shoulda listened
When the voices of my heart whispered to me
The saddest tunes.
And when my mind broke into several pieces,
I shoulda listened.

I'm not alone.
Even tho I have no one beside me anymore.
I'm not alone.
I just have that lonely feeling.
I'm not alone.
I have my thoughts to keep me company.

And when my tears wake me from my daydream,
You're nowhere to be found.
It was my decision.
I regret that decision.
Because without you,

I'm alone.

cant breath
its happening again
the ocean goes hightide
my body refuses to move
I sink into oblivion
my tears become
one with the ocean cries

cant breath

lost in the darkness
frozen in space
my tears refuse to leave my eyes
they freeze in the night

unwanted memories rush in

this feeling is suffocating

Why do people have to cry?
Emily Nov 2018
Why do people have to cry?
Why do so little people ever truly try?
Why is it that the world is grim?
Why must she cry over him?
Why must we worry?
Why aren't we ever truly freed?
What else do we possibly need?
Why do people have to cry?
Why is it that most people wish to die?

my heart is filled with bliss
even though it was just a kiss
love found me in a dark place
took me out of the thought of life being a waist
and now I see you
and the dark place has yet returned
just filled with emptiness this feeling isn't stern
now love has left and bliss
and that kiss
I guess I walked in on the wrong time
to catch you with another, I feel like a ticking mine
waiting for another step to blow up
waiting for you to brake like a glass cup

when the sun goes down
Emily Jan 2021
It was clear
but my vision was blurred
it was right in front of me
but to blind to see
was my eyes in the night
when the sun goes down

the moon was my light
but the moon wasn't in sight
not that night

everyone knows the truth
monsters only come to play
when the sun goes down

tears fall
hearts break
smiles fade
people change
when the sun goes down

for love

and I've sang the songs of sadness to the stars
and yelled the words of anger to the sun
and shed my tears with the moon
they kept my secrets, my prayers, my life story
and they kept my wishes
they told me I could have them come true

not being able to control the thoughts that dance in my mind

not being able to control anything around me

feeling these feeling that dont feel like my own

being patient and waiting
for the day this body will be me

mine
Emily Sep 2019
He belongs to me as I belong to him.
But we're not property to be owned nor are we a thing.
We're just two ordinary human beings.
He's just for me.
With him I truly feel free.
No thoughts of darkness from the far depths of my mind,
No thoughts of wondering when I'll be found but leaving it up to time,
Not knowing when life will end but thinking of how its begun,
Not surviving but living
love.
What it dose to the mind and soul.
Wings grow out of our heart as we soar threw the skies of tomorrow.
How strange this feeling is.
How strangely my mind acts.
Weird how I could finally be myself and not hate me for it.
Thinking of love and now that he's gone darkness comes to play...
I'm scared he'll go away...
I can only hope he stays..
for now i'll just enjoy the time
that he'll be mine.
His name is Lj and I cant wait to see where life takes us next

I never once made you happy
not once
you smile of pity and not pride
proud is something you'll never feel for me
I tried, you know
tried to be what you wanted
but trying isn't enough is it?
I never made you proud
seems to me like I'm a disappointment no matter where I go
its hard smiling all the time
hoping you'll give me a real smile back
its harder pretending everything is fine
the weight of the world cant compare to the weight of this
its heavy and cold
my heart is tired
shall it rest here for a little?
I never once wanted or asked to be this way
I never asked to hurt or to be hurt
I never asked for pain
but with love comes pain I suppose

Feathers
Emily Sep 2020
I'm beginning to finally shed the feather patches on my wings
Those of which only taunt me and my dreams to fly
Those of which hurt to look at
The kind of hurt that drowns your heart and causes it to sink
The kind of hurt that make the shadows of the night dance with glee
I'm beginning to feel more and more free
I'm shedding my feather patches
Then soon my broken wings will heal, my wings will grow new feathers
And I will let my feathers snow the creatures below
They will see with every feather that falls freedom, true freedom.

this can be a new start.
although that may be true,
I'm not made new.
deep down I'm the same person
weather I "change" or not
to me, I'm the same as I've ever been.
I'm still fighting,
still scared,
still so very very alone.

"I just want to be understood" She thinks in her mind.
"I just want be normal" She whispers to herself.
"I just want to be loved" She yells to the sky.
"I just want to be noticed for who I am, not for who i'm not" she cries.
"I just want to be like the others" She says as tears fall down from her eyes.
"I just want to be loved for me" She begins to sob.
"I just want to be understood" She says as she turns the door ***.
"I just want to be normal" She begins to grab a chair and rope.
"I just want to be loved" She stands on the chair with the rope tied to her throat.
"I Just want to  be understood" She says one last time as gods tears fall from the sky.
"I just want to be-" She begins to say as she is interrupted by the sound of a rope tug and the movement of a chair.

"She just wanted to be understood....She just wanted to be loved" He says out loud to the world.
"But I'm not understood..."
And the story goes on

"But why?"
I guess we will never truly know why. But as the world goes and as people begin to question and as people begin to not realize and begin to get blinded by all the lies... They cant take it, I suppose you could say...
but we where meant and made to handle the pain.
so is it you or is it I that is to weak to see why?

I've never felt it so strongly till now
I'm envious of her
I don't understand why I feel this way

I typically block them out
is this normal?
why does it hurt to know that she fell for you?
I never cared before
so why now?
why does it hurt to know I might lose you?
I never cared before
why am I so jealous of someone I don't know much about.

confused heart
Emily Oct 2020
I was thought to be in love once
perhaps the thought was true
the only thing that I knew is the piece of a heart he stole
perhaps he hid it to control it from time to time
to control my heart and the butterflies in my stomach
I was thought to be over this love
perhaps the thought was false
when hes around I try to **** the butterflies with the pain of memories
before they can grow to fast to fight
but when he gives me a look its hard not to feel
I was thought to be over this love
perhaps it was true
the hurt that comes back is the blade I use to exterminate the butterflies
I thought I lost my heart
perhaps its true
my body couldn't function for sometime
perhaps I found someone new
but even though he makes me happy
and hes perfect in every way
he wont love me
and perhaps I wont love him like I loved you
the thing I know is that my heart is confused

Emily Nov 2020
She was beautiful
Her dance moved the clouds and shined threw the trees of tomorrows darkness
She was bright and smiled in ways angles couldn't sing, even the moon sat beautifully in her sky
She was the sun and I just a dreamer under her light
She made the coldness of winters sadness leave even for a little while She made it more beautiful then the first shed of leaves in falls embrace
Her light took whatever darkness laying in my mind and turned it into the most loveliest of memories, dreams, and wishes.

Thank you

For not filling my soul with your lies
For finding the key and unlocking some of the chains that bind me
For sharing your warmth with me in this cold world
For your joy that shined the path to find my truest smile
For shielding me from the arrows and blades with you kindness
For healing some of my bruises with you laugh
And for showing a bird how to finally fly, even with broken wings.

her again
Emily Nov 2020
its hard to fight this inner storm
the hurricane of emotions
its hard to forget it all and yet I still try
she was taken from me
but my love for her never left
the memories of her haunt me from time to time
I had her once and lost her twice
and now they all expect me to lose her again
she wants to come back but should I let her in?
its not her fault it hurts to hear her voice or to see her smile
she was just a kid
do I allow myself to open up
even with the chance of me braking again?
would it really be worth the fight just to see her again?
my heart hurts and my mind is conflicted
question is: am I ready for her again?
or will my broken heart pollute her joyous life
will my depression spread to her happiness like a virus
will I break her like they broke me?

— The End —
