i miss the way my name rolled off your tongue.

and it's already a bad night.
not gonna lie it could probably
top the charts
for one of the worst.

it started out as just some tears.
and then the gasping for breathe.
and then mentally close up my throat--
giving myself a real challenge to breathe.
and then i start getting physical chest pains.
because my chest is so used to going up to bring air in and back down to let that **** out.
real bad chest aches.
so i tried banging on my chest.
you know, givin it a little kick to work.
and i knew my chest hurt on the inside.
and i could feel my chest hurt on the outside now-- probably from my punches.
and then i started to notice
it felt good.*
so i kept hitting.
and hitting.
all while i'm trying to breathe.
but my mind won't let me.
i begin to use all of my energy.
i'm trying to rip off all of my skin.
and get rid of every place i've been touched.
i had to have been making some progress.
being that i felt the skin under my nails.
and i could feel every body part inflaming.
so i kept going.
and going.
but then i must've started to shut down.
mentally and physically i think.
idk it's all a blur.
i think i lost my vision for a little.
and probably my hearing.
either that or my six minute song skipped the middle three.
idk i'm still so unsure.*
but to say the least i collapsed.
physically for sure.
because i was on the ground.
and all i wanted was to go lower.
imagine this:
i'm crumpled up.
laying on my bottom floor.
begging god.
to let me go just two yards deeper.

please, god.
just let me go.
six feet under.
my burning skin is warming my cold soul.

you're a postscript as a title.
i couldn't help but to go on and read.
Kristica Mar 2015
i miss the memories we'll never be able to make.
10w
Kristica Mar 2015
i am sorry that my everything was nothing to you.
Kristica Mar 2015
you shattered my heart.
it didn't even hurt this time.
because honestly,
i don't know that it ever healed from that last time.

what hurts.
what is still causing me pain.
is that you cared so ******* much.

and now,
i am in more pain than ever,
and you don't give half a ****.


*honestly i'm afraid you might find a little bit of joy out of it.
do you have any idea how bad it hurts
to have been cared and loved whole heartedly
and then somehow i do something to change that entirely.

it hurts a ******* lot.
Kristica Mar 2015
i think
the deepest, darkest
parts of me
are the greatest
pieces that make me up.

and i'm afraid
no one
has the time
to get there.
we could "waste" so much time with each other.
Kristica Nov 2015
you're really good at proving to me i deserve better.
please, keep ******* up
Kristica Mar 2015
saying*  *i love you  out of habit vs. **meaning it
Kristica Mar 2015
i'm tired of ******* everything up.
and i say i'm sorry after i ***** up. which is a lot more often than i would like. but i'm sorry that i apologize so often that it means nothing anymore. i am sorry. i never meant to be this big of a **** up.
please stop reminding me.
Kristica Mar 2015
i hate how much i crave being loved--
it just sounds like it would be something nice.
Kristica Mar 2015
you can't fall in love with someone only because they love you too.
trying to save just one heart break
Kristica Mar 2015
i take my daily walk
(that is never the same).
i may walk the same paths
but i can't walk the same steps.

now i'm afraid you can't repeat the past.

*and i'm more afraid of finding out whether that is a good or bad thing.
sorry, Jay Gatsby.
Kristica Mar 2015
my brain thinks faster than my hands can write.
so i'm sorry for hardly ever making sense.
but please don't question me.
because i probably have no idea what the **** i'm talking about
and i really don't care to know what i'm talking about.

even if i do know what i'm talking about,
i don't care to share.

figure it the **** out.
a thank you to people who don't make sense.
Kristica Mar 2015
people say
"you deserve better."

well how the **** do i find something better than the best **** thing that has happened to me.
i could never accept people's advice.

people give too ****** of advice.
Kristica Mar 2015
tired of paper being the only one wanting to listen.
{good thing i never gave it a choice.}
Kristica Jan 2016
there's nothing here anymore. leave while you still can.
the gravitational pull of a black hole…
Kristica Mar 2015
did you truly love me or getting in my pants?
please don't answer that truthfully.
Kristica Dec 2015
if you aren't in love with the sky, then open up your eyes. this isn't some kind of dream; this is real. this is wonderful.
gotta thank mother nature for this one.
Kristica Mar 2015
i'm sorry for everyone i have bothered
Kristica Apr 2015
mornings would not be so bad if i woke up with a view of you.
Kristica Mar 2015
i can't tell if a bird is happy or sad while he/she is chirping. and i kind of find peace in that because that means even sad things can be beautiful.
maybe i'm not as ugly as you let on
Kristica Mar 2015
sometimes you just gotta lay down on the floor with your dog and let go of the world for a little.
(i don't have a dog)
Kristica Mar 2015
i've
always
been
a
curious
gal.
and
lately
i've
been
thinking
about
what
happens
after
life.

an­d
i'm
hoping
to
find
out
soon.
Kristica Mar 2015
cheers.
bottoms up.
i'll drink to that.

whichever your preference.
but here's to hopefully:
the beginning of the end.

now the tricky part. picking a way to go out.

see you soon, nick.
Kristica Feb 2015
it's like
i'm an artist
and you're blind.

i've spent countless hours on these paintings.
i've put my everything in them.
there are small details that even the professionals couldn't notice.
and it turns out you can't either.

so why am i still painting?
because you aren't blind
you're just choosing not to see.
Kristica Feb 2016
"i'm scared."
"why's that? you know you can tell me anything."
"i'm terrified you're going to hurt me."
"oh baby, you know that's the last thing i'd do."
"that's what the last one said too..."*

maybe next time.
i don't need a fortune teller to tell me our future.
Kristica Jul 2017
the people who love you can still hurt you too.
their hits sting the most.
Kristica Sep 2014
Everyone wants this sad sob story
Like some sort of excuse
for the way I feel.

And I'm sorry that I can't give you that.
Because the saddest thing that has happened to me
hasn't really happened to me.

So I don't know why I'm so upset.
I have no reason to
Other than the fact
that only ****** people exist.

And I too am in existence.

So who the **** is gonna pity
Some ****** person like myself.
Kristica Aug 2014
What's the perfect guy
If he's not perfect for you
Kristica Sep 2014
Waiting for the day
For you to call me
When I'm looking at flowers
Instead of up at the stars
Kristica Oct 2014
I think yesterday might have been
the best day of my life.

That's easy to say being that I
don't have much to compare it to.

Lately everyday it's been storming
and I've been locked outside.

The rain hasn't stopped since
before the summer.

I can't remember the last time
I felt sunshine on my face.

And yesterday it may have been
just partly cloudy.

But that's all it really took
just one little ray of sun.  

Now I'm hoping to get a tan
because I could get used to these better days.
Kristica Aug 2014
When drowning in your own thoughts
You have to be your own life saver.

Because no on wants best for you
More than you.

And I promise
No matter what it comes down to
You'll always be placed second
By everyone around you.

You're responsible for putting yourself on top.

So hold your breath
And swim on up.
Kristica Aug 2014
Just know
that our comprehension
of each other
through communication
is furthest understood
through words.

And words have a limit.

So maybe we
are just beyond that.
At least I dream of such things
Kristica Jul 2014
I am not
Scared of
                      dying

And I believe
That's the most
Terrifying thing
I have ever written

And yet it
Is the most
Powerful thing
About me.
fear nothing.
Kristica Sep 2014
Who do you
Spend time with

When your annoyed
By your peers

And sick
Of your family?
Your thoughts. And that I feel as though is much worse.
Kristica Sep 2014
It's 3 am somewhere
And that's just another reason
For me to tell you this.

I think I've gone mad
I just might be insane.

Come along with me
And together we can be crazy.
Kristica Feb 2015
you used to pick me up when i fell,
but now i am laying on this cold concrete floor and i hear someone snickering in the background and i know i haven't heard your laugh in awhile but i know i could never forget that laugh of yours.
i can't stop rambling.
Kristica Jul 2014
I want to do something big with my life
And I don't know what that is.
I wish I knew what I'm going to do
So I could get on the right path.

Because right now
The biggest thing I have done in my life
Is **** everything up.
Kristica Sep 2014
Sometimes I jump at the view of my shadow.
And I smile as tears are rolling off my cheek.
When I hear someone whisper my name I pretend it's you speaking.

I have a hard time admitting this but I need you to know that even though you aren't in my life anymore,, thinking about you is the most important part of my day.
Kristica Aug 2014
What do you even mean
That's not right
You shouldn't be with him.


I don't give half of a ****
About what you have to say
So you won't affect my actions.

Don't worry
When you flip on me
I'm not going to care then either
So don't even waste your breath
Kristica Aug 2014
Keep in mind
You're just like your friends.

So choose wisely
Because no matter how different you think you are
No one else can tell the difference.
And let me tell you
It ******* *****.
Kristica Sep 2014
You remind me of
Wilting roses.

Once so pretty
And full of life.

Now dying
And able to see the end.

Please don't be bothered
If I come along with you.

Because I can still see
All of your beauty.
Kristica Aug 2014
There are so many words in our language.
So many ways to express myself.
A large sum to describe myself.
Joyous just isn't one of them.
Kristica Aug 2014
I don't know why I cry.
It doesn't fix anything.
And there's no one there
To wipe them away
Or at least comfort me.
I don't know why I think I have the right to pity myself.
Kristica Aug 2014
Am I truly happy
If I have to
Convince myself that I am?
Kristica Aug 2014
I was lonely
And he was charming

He showed me comfort
And you didn't bother to text me

I can't say I regret it
Because you've shown me no reason to.
Kristica Aug 2014
I have to admit
I like to see an underdog win.

I know that everyone loves a love story
And they're rooting for the soul mates.

But I must be bitterly truthful
Because love is never what it seems.

So I hope it ends now
So your forever broken heart can heal sooner.
Kristica Aug 2014
Don't even listen to me
I have no idea what the ****
I am talking about

But honestly


Please show me someone who does.
Kristica Aug 2014
But what if this time
When you say goodbye
It really is forever
