'Please, love me'
but, those words get caught in my throat

you deserve so much more,
so much better,
than these jagged pieces,
than these shards of what i used to be
because,
in the end,
they will only cut you down
and you deserve better

Get out
just get out...
don't look me in eyes.
a night where things seemed perfect
a morning filled with lies
GET. OUT.
so eager for my entrance
so hasty to come back
you held me like you wanted me but then YOU THREW ME BACK
you tricked me like a child
and rocked me in your arms
I gave you every part of me
you broke down all my bars
I laid there with no doubts
no sadness
no pain
you wrapped your arms around me
to a MONSTER its a GAME
you have never given everything
AND MY GOD YOU NEVER WILL
cause you're too **** scared to miss out on all the thrill
too **** scared to finally open up
too **** lonely to believe in real love
admit it you are scared! you don't understand real love
you've been hurt and you've been damaged
so you've tried to rise above
you have never been so...vulnerable
so you took my heart and tossed it
no second thoughts
like something that's reusable
my mind was filled with questions
why
how
when
you never wanted words
just where they'd been
and that is when it hit me
just a "single night of fun"
I KNOW YOU
I really know you
so in the morning, you could run
when I woke that morning
instead of making an escape
NOT a WORD
not a sound
not whisper
nothing loud
GOD how can you stand there looking at me with those eyes and expect me to just forget?!
God I'm standing here screaming inside every reason I've ever loved
you and you're out here making bets
you crushed my soul like no one in my life has ever been able to
HOW?
how can a person make someone feel so loved and then act like they don't exist?
God, I don't understand!
so just get out
God GET OUT

oh wait... you already have.
wow really rough night y'all
Ivy Davenport Mar 2020
held in place by
a single thread

masked behind
a blushing veil

painted over
colored red

stories told
to grow a tale

pain leaks under
my skin like ink

wake up young
enough to wonder

stained forever
try to blink

filled with pictures
hard to ponder

lost to soul
dark to mind

when I wake
who will I find?
