I am myself Jan 2014
The opposite of happy
Is empty
That essential happiness
Snuffed out
Like a candle

But the opposite
Of empty
Is hope
The tiniest little
Spark
That ignites a
Raging fire

For so long
I have been hollow
Empty of all
Feeling nothing
And now
I have that
Tiny flicker
Of hope
Burning inside me
Filled with warmth
And for once
Hope
I am myself Dec 2013
Butterflies
With razor wings
Stitches stuffed
Exploding seams

Fragile heart
Beats so fast
You only knew
This wouldn't last

Lacey frilly
Lingerie
Torn apart
Night and day

Heart so full
About to burst
Every action
You rehearse

Want or love
Who can tell
Held under
Your magic spell

Rumpled sheets
Tear stained cases
A Lovers caress
Time erases

Ardently
Your taper shines
The problem is
Within your mind

Passion
Crashing
Falling
Bliss

Stolen heart
Given kiss
Then you left
You took my wish

Late nights
Early mornings
Heard my heart
Ignored its warnings

The love is gone
It's left for good
Pathetic liar
It's just a mood

Sick to death
Of all this fear
And pillows
Covered in tears

Seize the moment
Live for today
I wouldn't trade
One moment away

You love me
Or do you not
Doesn't matter
You are every thought
I am myself Nov 2013
You make the rain stop
The days when it won't
You tuck me under your arm
And keep me safe and dry

When I look at you i see
The love in your eyes
The happiness in your smile
And the worry in your skin

I don't want to cause that again
The pain
The fear
The exhaustion

You love me more than I deserve
But now
I will try
To deserve you
I am myself Nov 2013
She smiles
Sparkles in her eyes
Dimples on her cheeks
Aspects of an angel
Wretched and divine

Look in her eyes
Deep down
The chill of death
Her skin so riddled with flaws
A study of the being inside

She walks through the hall
Surrounded by followers
Known and loved by all
But known?
They don't know her

She is full of bitterness
Judgement
Deception
Cruelty
Abundantly flow

Her clothes change frequently
Every hour she is different
She changes her face
And her feelings
Her words constantly lie

This was my closest friend
She shut me out
Humiliated me
Lied to me and about me
Turned my friends against me

I helped her
Befriended her
She was my closest friend
Kindred
Or so I thought

Now I sit in the shadows
My light is a comfort
Hers a blazing fire
She will burn you
Her flames consume you

Do not trust so easy
Do not put your faith in the unknown
Keep your spirit to yourself
Or you will give someone else
The means to break you
I am myself Nov 2013
You have been mine
Ever since the first day
Our paths entwine
Crossing paths along the way

You broke my heart
But I gave it back to you
Take and keep it
You're all I want

Don't let go of us this time
Though you know I'll be here
Even when you ***** up
I'm waiting by your side

You are my heart
And you make it full
Baby I'm beating out a samba
And it's just for you
I am myself Sep 2013
i cant
i tried
i swear
this isnt life
i cant care

my heart is too gone
my chest is empty
my ribs rasp
my heart is being squeezed
held in a giants grasp

help
me
please
im dying
here

all alone
I am myself Aug 2013
I am seductress
I am temptress
I am wild
Yet still a child

I am fire
I am ice
I am venom
And the antidote

I am sweet
I am innocent
I am young
But ageless and cruel

Kiss me
Caress me
Hold me tenderly
Oh I do like rough

Dominate me
Bend me
Break me
Now fall on your knees and obey

Pray to me
Worship me
Adore me
Pour out your scorn for me

I am woman
Confusing oh yes
I want something sweet
But that bores me

I am the moon
I hold its serenity
And the pull it has over the earth
I changed as the tides

I am woman
I am child
I am broken
I am alive
