The sun may see me every day
But the moon knows me
In every way
She knows how many tears it takes
To soak my pillow
She calls to me like a friend
Her little weeping willow
She knows the blood that trails
Down my skin
She knows I patch myself up
Only to begin all this again
She knows how desperately
I'm trying to fly to her
Like a little plane
Made of paper
She knows one day
I'll make it
I'll fly up to her
And there I won't have to fake it
The smile I paint on
For the sun
I'll start my new adventure with the moon
And the one down here can be done.
Satsuki Feb 2014
I'm not always sure what I want
Or who for that matter
But I do know I need kisses that haunt
And linger on my skin
I want your teeth to graze my hips
I crave breathless I love you's
And soft warm lips
Getting lost in a sea of blankets
I want jealous angels from above
Because when they see us
They envy our endless love
Once in a while I'll write something that's not depressing.
Satsuki Jul 2014
I heard you on the wireless back in 52
The love we shared always used to thrill
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
Nowadays it's main priority is to ****
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Worlds apart and it rips our seam
You were the first one
You lived through the age and I'm barely nineteen
You were the last one
Our love riddled with complications
In my mind and in my car
You'd change the stations
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
It's too dangerous for me in your heart
Video killed the radio star
Every other line is a lyric of Video Killed The Radio Star
Satsuki Jan 2014
Die
Useless
Not talented
Ugly
Worthless
Stupid
Disgusting
Not worth it
Weird
Alone
No one
A **** up
The words etched into my brain
They whisper to me
no one cares about you
you mean nothing
Soon they yell
youre disgusting
**** yourself
no one will miss you
So when you tell me
I have no reason to be sad
Take it up with the voices in my head
They're the ones driving me mad
Why
Satsuki Sep 2013
Why
Why am I in Algebra?
I don't understand a thing
You'll use it every day they tell me
But for my career, I want to sing.
Why am I in chemistry?
I don't understand a thing
You'll use it every day they tell me.
Even if I just want to sing?

Why are you failing?
They ask me.
Because I don't understand a thing.
You won't go very far with a grade like that.
You're just not listening.

I'm afraid it's you who won't listen
You see,
These things won't help one bit
Not with what I've chosen to be
This is complete *******.
I want to sing
Not multiply a and b
Orbital rings
Can't help me stay on key
Teach me what I can use
For what I want to be
Maybe then you won't lose
This student that you see

She nurses liquor as if it were her young
And let's the bitter liquid slip past her tongue
She's got a song to be sung
She's been told she's beautiful since day one
Been compared to the moon and to the sun
But she's a wild thing who likes to run
Many yearn for her soft caress
And many will come to her to confess
But she notices them less and less
For her emerald gaze is fixed on someone who's not looking her way
A fellow wild thing that likes to play
It's said that opposites attract, but their similar magnetic pulls don't push them away
Everywhere she goes
Her fellow wild thing always shows
Love has never been in her heart but this time she knows
Maybe it's the liquor
But she's falling quicker and quicker
And all she knows is she wishes her fellow wild thing to stay with her
Because even though she's never felt love before, she's sure this is it
There's an arrow in her heart where Cupid hit
And the fire in her cold soul has been lit
Satsuki Aug 2014
"You mustn't fall in love with a wild thing... You can't give your heart to a wild thing - the more you do, the stronger they get. Until they're strong enough to run into the woods. Or into a tree. Then into a taller tree. Then into the sky. That's how you'll end up... If you let yourself love a wild thing... You'll end up looking at the sky."
You'll never catch me
Get too close and I'll fly away
A wild thing doesn't love
A wild thing never stays
You'll never reel me in
All you can do is watch me as I go
A wild thing can only run
A wild thing needs to grow
You'll never put me in a cage
I'm too far for you to touch
A wild thing isn't yours to keep
A wild thing is just too much
You can't tame a wild thing, so don't bother trying.
Trying to love a wild thing always ends with crying.
So please don't go prying...
Or you'll have to watch the wild thing as it goes flying.

I'm falling down that rabbit hole
This love has taken its toll
Drifting through this swirling abyss farther down
I finally spot the ground
Feet planted firmly
A bustling tea party
Offer me a drink
Just a spot, the tea cups clink
Filled with who knows what
I want to run but
I'm growing
Overflowing
I need to find you
You'll know what to do
To get me out of this mad, mad, world inside
Without you, I can only run and hide
You are my bravery to help me defeat
The monsters I must beat
To get back to reality
The cat told me I must find my sanity
Without you it's not there
Just ask the March Hare
I'm mad without you by my side
Much like the hatter who uses his hat as a ride
Can't you see we're late?
For a very important date
We must get back now
We have no time to figure out how
We'll fight our madness together
Get out of this world forever
Fight the jabberwocky
To find the key
Back reality with you by my side
You are my bravery, my sanity, my pride
Satsuki Jul 2014
Every poem I write is about you
Every thought is laced with images of your eyes
And how they crinkled a little when you smiled
Every breath I take is labored because my lungs fill with memories instead of air and it becomes harder to breathe
Every sleepless night I spend thinking of your voice and how it sounded when the syllables you spoke formed my name
And every dream I dream is a fantasy of us that never came true because you left without notice
And now I'm stuck here trying to figure out how to stop my world from revolving around you.

Tell me I'm stupid
Ugly, or that I don't matter
Tell me I'm worthless
That I'm getting fatter
But don't tell me
That I'm not trying hard enough
Because the **** I'm going through
Is pretty rough
And I'm doing my best
And giving it my all
And it's not my fault
You only notice when I fall
Satsuki Sep 2013
My feelings.
Can you sense them?
They grow for you each day.
My heart.
It swells.
A small price to pay.
The thought of you.
Envelops my brain.
Filled with words you say.
Dreams.
You're in mine.
Come out to play.
I love you.
I have for while.
Forever in love I'll stay.
Satsuki Feb 2014
You are the paint that won't wash off my fingers
You are the smell of coffee as it brews at 7 am
You are the ink of the words in my poetry
You are the pages of an old book in a library
You are the winter wind against my cheeks
You are the tune of the keys on a grand piano
You are everything around me.
Satsuki Jan 2014
Young girl
Can't keep her eyes open
The world's much too loud
And she's too soft spoken
Young girl
Can't help but to cry
She's too wise for her age
Sees right through the lie
Young girl
Too fragile for this world
Just like a porcelain doll
With her hair curled
Young girl
Run away from it all
Don't look back
And be careful not to fall

"You're just like everyone else"  
You said to me over and over again
Every time I tried to get out
Of the cage you had me locked in
"You're just like everyone else"
You accused me of lying
And breaking promises
As you kept me to watch me internally dying
"You're just like everyone else"
You said I'd leave you like the rest
But was I wrong to leave
When you ripped my heart out of my chest
"You're just like everyone else"
You said as you picked apart my flaws
Told me I was nothing, unimportant, stupid
Tore at me with your claws
"You're just like everyone else"
You said crying as I walked out the door
I told you I didn't care
As I left you bleeding on the floor
"You're just like everyone else"
And maybe you're right
But unlike everyone else
I wasn't afraid to fight
Satsuki Mar 2014
You're the top
You're my summer breeze
You're my darling, if you please
And baby if I'm the bottom,
You're the top
You're my tap shoes
You cure my blues
And baby if I'm the bottom,
You're the top
You're romance
You put me in a trance
And baby if I'm the bottom,
You're the top
Basically my own version of You're the Top from the musical Anything goes.
Satsuki Mar 2014
You won't care until I'm dying

I have a hole in the crook of my arm where they drained me of my blood
They're wondering just what exactly is wrong with me

This may sound morbid
But I know that unless I'm dying
                             You won't care

So my body is killing itself
Because it's just as tired as I am of you not caring.

— The End —
