Wasted
Alex Apr 2020
I wasted my time
Trying to reconnect with you but
I realized you didn't want to talk to me
So I'm done trying
If you don't want to talk then fine

Bruises
Alex Aug 2020
I have a bruise on my arm
Not super big
But also not small
Its nobody's fault
I wasn't grabbed
I wasn't hit
But it still hurts
But im okay
48 · Mar 2020
Sorry
Alex Mar 2020
I'm Sorry
I know you don't like me
at least not like that
I haven't told you
Because I'm scared
That you will reject me
I mean why wouldn't you
I'm not the prettiest
And I can be so mean
Who would love a girl
Like me?

Evergreen
Alex Aug 2020
They always stay green
Through out winter
Into the summer months
Rarely dying
Roots planted into the ground
I wish I was evergreen
I wish I could be happy and green again
A simple melody
Calling out to me
I miss you
But you don’t miss me
At least I don’t think you do
I didn’t mean much
And I guess that’s okay
Because I meant a lot to them

Wasted
Alex Apr 2020
Right now Im so scared
Because I dont understand the feelings im having
I wasted my time trying with him
Because in the end he was just a narcissist
But that isnt what made him bad
He caused pain towards us
He made sure I would never forget his face
But lately
His image has been clouded with thoughts of you
Good thoughts
Sweet thoughts
But I feel Wasted
My butterfly

Better
Alex Aug 2020
School started
A past me would be scared
To be here in this moment
But we are stronger than what we give ourselves
I know I dont have much
But I have the courage I need
To keep going
Stay alive
Be kind
Even if it hurts to see him
I have a life planned out
And im doing a lot better
he says hello
I say goodbye
I dont cry much over him
Not anymore
Because if I did
I know I would start blaming myself
Over and over
till im suffocating
In my sorrows
But thankfully
Im better
47 · Oct 2020
I cant
Alex Oct 2020
I can’t control myself

I can’t understand things

                                          So easily

Not anymore

                       You scare me

And you have no idea

                                             I can’t keep crying

Because you put me down

                              I cant keep pretending

That you actually care

                                  About me

About them

                 Cause all you want

Are

                   The “I cants”

Hurting

You never know how bad it hurts
Till you lose the person you thought you loved
Most

Love
Alex Feb 2020
Love is
A four-letter word
Love can
Be painful
But I love Love
Even if you don't love me
Because you are happy
I want you
To be happy
Even if it's not me
Happy valentines day everyone ^^

Still into you
Alex Sep 2020
I still like you
Even after almost six months
Or maybe a little over that
And I don’t think that will ever
Change

Sleep
Alex Sep 2020
It doesn’t seem to exist
I don’t know what it is
But I feel like
If I sleep
I won’t wake up in the same place
Like if I wake it won’t be at home
I won’t know anyone
And I won’t know what to do
I can’t seem to get it together
Maybe that’s my problem
44 · Sep 2020
Rainy
Alex Sep 2020
All I want to do is run in it
The smell is calming
And I can’t seem to stay calm
Yet I try to boost my confidence
While I stay in
Kicking out the monsters
As I listen to the sound of it
Inviting the calm
Fixing my mistakes
Pretending that things are okay
At least for now
I don’t belong here
And that’s evident
Still I can’t seem to get you out of my head
What you did
I hadn’t cried in months
Till I broke down again
Maybe things will be different next year
Maybe people will change
Maybe I’ll forgive you
And forget you
It’s inviting me to dance
And sing
As it drips down my window
All I am
Is calm
43 · Aug 2020
Roses
Alex Aug 2020
The sweet smell in the summer
It seems that they all wither and die
Maybe it’s time to give up
On trying to be with you
Because you of course like someone else
And that’s fine
I’m just forgotten
Like always
The things I write are true
When I told you that I liked you
I meant it
But now I’m not sure if I’m supposed
To move on
Or stop trying
To go after someone
Who doesn’t like me
I may not want
To be here anymore
But I’m staying
Because people need me
Maybe I’m just falling
Into the rabbit hole
My roses are dying
Little flowers all over
Little petals covered in blood
But I don’t care anymore
Because it’s one sided
We could go to school
And you would still be after him
I’m not him
And I won’t ever be him
So I’m sorry
If I’m clinging to something
Clinging to you
Roses always grow back
It’s Strange to watch
Fascinating

Vices
Alex Nov 2020
Rain dripping
As my heart sinks
I try to stay quiet
I want to scream out for help
But nobodys there
One is
I can see them in
the distance
We stay together
And im less of a mess
:}

Idc
I don’t care that you might not like me
I don’t care that I’m feeling alone
I don’t care that I’m so hurt
I don’t care that I’m not enough
I don’t care he’s not gone
I don’t care that I have nobody to talk to
I don’t care that I’m scared
Of every little thing
I don’t care that I get yelled at
But saying I don’t care
Gets old
When you lie about not caring
So much
You begin to wonder
How you’re still able to care
I do Care about losing you
I do Care that we aren’t together
I miss conversations with you
I care about the smallest things
I care that he wasn’t put away
I care that I’m alone
And I always will
43 · Aug 2020
Poison
Alex Aug 2020
You aren’t poison to me if you were
I would be glad that it was you
But I can understand
Not knowing what to say
And I’m sorry for assuming
But you are amazing
I hope you never forget that

3:12
Alex Sep 2020
As I write this I’m not sure what to say
A darkness is spreading
It seemed like there was no other way
The dream tonight was terrifying
I couldn’t get away
As she whispered your name
I couldn’t look away
I wish I can do more
But it seems like I can’t
A fatal mistake is hoping
That it stays
Feeling helpless and wondering why
You can’t break free of the dreams
You had tonight
A soft echo is pulling me in
I can’t remember as clearly
The sins that we have are greater than
The words we speak as soft as them
She calls your name
Angry and sullen
Revenge is sweet
But love is golden
43 · Dec 2020
Thinking
Alex Dec 2020
I still think about her every so often
Just wondering how shes doing
Thats fine though
because im not obsessed
I dont need her
because I have someone else
and i love them with everything I have
Even if we havent really talked much
At least they talk to me
and make sure im doing okay
43 · Sep 2020
Pretty
Alex Sep 2020
I hope you’re okay
It’s been a while
Maybe you just don’t want to talk
I get it
But no matter what
You are beautiful
Even if you don’t think so
You were in my dreams again
You offered me your jacket
I was hesitant to accept it
Cause I wasn’t sure if you meant it
Even though it was just a dream
I wish it were real

Flooding Feelings
Alex Feb 2020
Thunder Storms
Rain falling down
Whispers and screams
Tears falling
Hoping for better
One-sided love
Knowing
Thinking
Everyone is different
Set apart
From their skin
To their personality
Broken girls
To stupid boys
Who regret
But say nothing
42 · Mar 2020
Maybe
Alex Mar 2020
Maybe we can talk
Maybe video call
Or see each other
Or somehow keep in contact with each other
I miss you
42 · Nov 2020
Lillies
Alex Nov 2020
Sweet smell
I wanna lay in a field of flowers
Just feel pretty again
Lillies or roses
Theyre both so pretty
Maybe im just rambling
But I now have people to ramble to
Im so glad I have someone now
42 · Oct 2020
Rose
Alex Oct 2020
Prickly thorns
pierce the skin
Scars that never leave
A fiction
Of whats left of my imagination
Is it going to be love
Or just another rose
Without its thorns
41 · Oct 2020
Us
Alex Oct 2020
Us
I can actually say
Im happy
Because of you
Im glad you and I started to talk again
Because now there is an Us
Someone i can look forward to talking to
And I love you

I’ve tried
                                                           I’m tired
I’m scared
                       What are they supposed to do
I’m not sure
                                                            Exactly
They can’t do much
                                                      They can try
Maybe they don’t want to
                                       You’re being a bother

Isolation
Alex Sep 2020
Far away from people
There’s no way I can leave
The pain is unbearable
I can hardly speak
Have to keep to myself
Because I can’t be near
My loved ones right now
Because a stupid kid
Coughed on me
I have to get tested because my best friends brother decided to cough on me when I told him to go away since he was sick
41 · Apr 2020
Sunshine
Alex Apr 2020
You might be the only thing keeping me from breaking apart right now
I've gotten really depressed
Feeding my monsters as I lay awake at night crying
But I know you're still here...
And I hope we can talk again soon
Because while the skies are dark
And I wait for a message
As long as you're here
I've got my sunshine
finally able to start writing again
40 · Aug 2020
Violence
Alex Aug 2020
Last night he snuck out
Hit my mom
I dont know how to react
I tried to fall back asleep
but I couldnt
Now I lock my doors
Scared of him
40 · Sep 2020
Nothing
Alex Sep 2020
I think I need to start over
On everything
Just stay quiet
And stop trying
Nobody talks to me much
That is fine
It doesn’t matter anymore
For now
I’m Nothing
39 · Aug 2020
Us
Alex Aug 2020
Us
As tears stream down my face
I don’t know who she is
But I hope you’ll be happy
Because that’s all I want for you
Is to be happy
Even if it isn’t me who makes you that
I don’t even know if you’ll read this
Or if you are ignoring me
If I did something wrong
I’m sorry
I can’t talk to you in person
And it hurts
I don’t know why
It just does
Maybe because I poured my heart out
Just to find out you had someone else
The letters may have had more meaning
To me then they did you
I just want to talk to you again
Because if we’re honest
I never stopped thinking of you
All summer
I waited and hoped that I would see you
So I could tell you face to face how I felt
But that changed with time
Because at first I thought that maybe
You hated me
I don’t need anyone to love me
Besides myself
But I can’t even say I love myself
Because I don’t
But I guess that’s us
Right?
39 · Feb 2020
Pain
Alex Feb 2020
Sitting around
I can see
The pain
You caused
Inside of me
I'm not that bright
Or that smart
But I know how you work
how you think
I waisted time
Trying to remember
But they wouldn't
have made me forget
if you were worth remembering
39 · Sep 2020
Voices
Alex Sep 2020
I just want them to stop
I want them to go away
But they can’t
I’m stuck with them
And I don’t want it anymore
I want reality to go away
I want to forget
Everything
Everyone
I want to feel something again
Something besides fear
And sadness
That she brings me everyday
I want them to stop pretending
That they care for me
Because they are just

Let Go
Alex Aug 2020
Ive let go
Of the Pain
The feelings
Masking my hurt
By wearing a smile
Around you
Ive let go
Of the things we couldve had
I tried
But you dont like me
Im long gone
We cant
Keep pretending
Forever
As much as we wish to
It isnt possible
Maybe it is
But I dont want to pretend
To hide my tears
Shaking
I feel sick
I want to cry
To scream
Living on glass
Thats slowly starting to crack
Silently painting
The picture
I want
But it wont happen
Because maybe it was puppy love
Or I really do love you
But I need to
Let
Go
Of you
Of myself
Pretend
To
Be
Okay
Falling
Into
A rabbit hole
Once more
Every time
A butterfly
***** their wings
A Storm
Starts to brew
But
Ive let go
Right?
Keeping my feelings hidden
Knowing that Im just a
Crybaby
I just need
To let go
But I cant
I want to cry still
Sitting in choir
trying to concentrate
but
I
cant....

Icing
Alex Aug 2020
Topping cakes off with faint decorations
The smell of frosting
As we spread it along
We start to form little flowers
From the icing we had
Everyone got a piece
A sweet melody
The kids helping
And all singing
38 · Mar 2020
Someone
Alex Mar 2020
Rose petals will fall
Wishes scattered
As new leafs start to grow
On the once bare trees
Cool winds
Pulling me
Into a soft echo
Of the former me
Saing goodbye
Is terribly hard
but so is loving someone
who won't move on
38 · Aug 2020
Unspoken
Alex Aug 2020
Words I wish I could say
To you

Even if you’re scared
We can be friends
The pain is always gonna be worth it

She’s goofy
She’s mine
And I think I’m in love again

Missing
Alex Jul 2020
Im slowly forgiving you
Well
Forgetting
Its strange
How you got
Under my skin
next month marks a year
and I can finally say you name
I was you the other day
it made us angry
as our mom pulled us away
but now you're
just a missing memory
and im okay with that
its been eleven months now
I haven't forgotten what you said
but you are in the distance now
maybe one day I can
forgive you
And forgive myself
for not yelling for her
but it wasnt my fault
it was yours
for thinking we were scared
scared to stand up
I was scared at first
but now I know
that maybe
you werent supposed to be a part of my life
you werent my life line
She was however
because she protected us
she calmed me down
helped me breathe
when nobody else knew what was going on
and im glad she was there
shes the reason I spoke up
and im glad I did
cause im not missing a part of myself anymore
37 · Feb 2020
Stress
Alex Feb 2020
Scared and tired
Wishing you could help
Someway and somehow
You want to fix the small thing
Stressing
And waiting
For something better
Heartbreak and pain
Sitting in the dark
Listening to people talking
It's hard enough as is
But we still keep going
37 · Feb 2020
Rain
Alex Feb 2020
Rain can be good
It can also be bad at times
Like how I'm absolutely terrified
Of thunderstorms
Like how I'm scared to drown
I used to love playing in the rain
I love watching it from my window
Because rain is beautiful storms
Are scary and love is….
Both
37 · Aug 2020
Safe
Alex Aug 2020
It’s something I don’t feel anymore
I can’t escape
The voices
The people
Everyone around me
They don’t care
At least most of them
I’m just a bother to them
I don’t have many friends
And right now
It seems I don’t have any that want to
Be there for me
I can’t talk about what’s wrong in my life
Without them leaving me on open
They don’t ask
To make sure I’m okay
I’ve been having
Awful thoughts lately
My hope is the only thing keeping me
From acting on them
Who would care if I was gone?
You never know
I know maybe two people who would be
Upset
That I left them
But I can’t even get out of bed
Anymore
I’m so tired
Of feeling sad
And sick
Wondering
Why they hate me
Why I can’t be normal
Why I can’t even be loved by the ones
That meant so much to me
They turned into
Bullies
And liars
He turned into an abuser
She stopped caring about my life
And I’m not sure about you
Because you don’t want to hurt me
And I don’t want to hurt you
Because you mean a lot
Even if I don’t mean a lot
To anyone else
I’m sorry
Sorry I’m in a really sad state right now
Kind of just needed to vent

Karma
Alex Sep 2020
It’s hard to decide
If you deserved it or not
Because sometimes
You just don’t know
What Karma can do
37 · Sep 2020
Somebody
Alex Sep 2020
All I want
Is for somebody to call me theirs
To let me steal their hoodies
Tell me they love me
That they won’t vanish
I can’t keep holding on
I’m already drowning in my pain
I want someone to tell me
That I matter
That I’m not worthless
That I don’t take up so much space
To tell me
To stay
37 · Sep 2020
Wrong
Alex Sep 2020
Maybe it’s something wrong with me?
That nobody really likes me?
That I’m completely alone?
Am I too clingy?
Too obsessive?
Maybe
I can’t fix that
Or maybe I can?
I’ve given up trying
She doesn’t talk to me
I have to stop chasing after her
That’s okay though
I can smile through the tears
And sooner or later I’ll be okay
37 · Mar 2020
Paranoid
Alex Mar 2020
Today
Was one of those days
Where I couldn't
Stop looking
Over my shoulders
Expecting to see you
Close to me
Waiting for me to do something
To push you away like before
Freeze when you started to
Do what you did
I've let the paranoia
Sink in
Its been controlling me
Like you had been
I wasn't perfect...
That terrible feeling I had gotten the night of the storm
How I cried myself to sleep beside my best friend
Because that was the first time
The first red flag
I couldn't getaway
I tried so hard
But couldn't
And so I gave up
That's when the voices started to reappear
I hadn't heard them in two years
After I had stopped talking to you
And then...
I had that feeling
Once again...
And I couldn't stop you
But I never gave up
I pushed you away
I didn't speak
except for once or twice
I know I said no at least once
Or maybe I didn't
Because they took over to try
She wanted to protect me
So she did
After I was choked
She was the one who said something
When you did what you did
I couldn't stop her from telling them
She was so angry
Because it wasn't just me
That you hurt
So now
The paranoia has set in
And I'm so scared
Because you know
Where I live
Where I go on the weekends...
Who I hang out with...
But even though you can't touch me...
It still makes me
Paranoid
35 · Aug 2020
Last day
Alex Aug 2020
And you still don’t care
I need to move on
And that’s what I plan on doing
I give up trying
I don’t need anyone
Not you
Not him
I just need me
It’s sad that I kept trying
Knowing you had a boyfriend
But then again
I am Selfish
35 · Feb 2020
Problem
Alex Feb 2020
You said I could trust you
That you would protect me
did you?
Or did you do the worst possible thing
I'm drowning in the pain you caused
Like how every snowflake is different
Same goes for people
You treated me like a queen back then
Looking back
I can see how you changed
You continue to cause pain
And sorrow
Nobody knows why
Maybe you don't either
Maybe that's your problem
35 · Aug 2020
Slow
Alex Aug 2020
I know we havent talked much
I miss talking to anyone
She stopped caring
More worried about her
But thats okay
I can cry
Throw a pity party
maybe im being petty
Slowly becoming someone else
Becoming
Numb
35 · Aug 2020
Fine
Alex Aug 2020
I can tell you I’m fine
When I’m not
A silent nod
Is what I use
To express my feelings
Because I don’t know what to do
Because I really like you
But I’m pretty sure you don’t like me
And that’s fine I just need to move on
