Sometimes when you say I love you
I wonder if you drank poison
Because you spit it out
Like it’ll leave a bad after taste

This mask of mine remains on my face I can’t remember when I started wearing it
When the “I’m fines”
were anything but
when the stress became to much
I can’t remember why I wear this mask of mine all I know is it’s stuck

What have I done
keepsake7 May 2019
Somedays I wanted to curl up inside myself and hope ill be born anew
I want to cut myself apart and build myself back up like LEGO blocks
And most days I feel like it can’t get worse that crying becomes painfully when chocking on my tears
My bed is a fortress and I am the princess locked inside or maybe I’m a bird in a cage a prisoner with a ball and chain
I want to die
I won’t sugar coat this saying depression is like falling in love
Or you only hate apart of yourself
I can’t look in my mirror anymore
I hate whatever I wear so I don’t leave the house that way I don’t need to Change
I eat to survive not to taste
I live for another day not my tomorrow
I smile for them not myself
but I’m still here
I’m still here
This took a turn but I’m stuck with writing

Family ties I am fine
keepsake7 May 2019
Hey dad I’m sad
He pushes me aside
Hey dad I need help
He gets mad says do it yourself
So I do
I stop asking for help
And even though my scars grow
I’m fine
Even when they call me names even when my friends go away
I’m fine
Because I don’t need help
Hey dad today was a good day

My phone is my therapist
It’s who I talk to when I’m sad
It doesn’t ask me how I feel
Nor does it say “are you ok?”
It silently waits for me to say
I’m not
It doesn’t offer advice I’ve tried
Doesn’t get mad that it can’t help me
And doesn’t leave when I become to much
My phone is my therapist
And that’s enough

Past emotions
keepsake7 Apr 2019
Some days I miss you
I tell myself I still need you
But it isn’t you I want
I want what we use to be
I want the love back
And the reason I’m crying now
Isn’t because your not around
It’s because we can’t go back
And what we had won’t be again
So my I love yous are for the past you that you who said it back

what am I living for
keepsake7 Mar 2019
days get shorter and nights are longer
Friends have disappeared
Or maybe I just left
Some days I don’t leave my bed
Other days just pass me by
I forget what it’s like to have fun
To be needed by someone
Do you ever get like that
Where you wait for a week to shower and can’t remember if you ate anything
The days where you’ve worn the same clothes because you’ve haven’t washed anything you own
Where you can’t tell if your lazy or depressed and then the sadness swallows you up again and all you want to do is not exist
So you slowly **** yourself
Along with your existence

I think I still love you but even about this I’m unsure maybe I’m just hooked on what we once were maybe I just miss being in love or I’m stuck in the past looking at memories that I wish were moments we still had
We’re not together anymore but we talk sorta and I know we won’t be together again and that’s why I want to move on but I don’t know if I still love him  or miss our relationship (he was my first bf) that why I’m lost on if I still love him or not :/

I spew words about you onto pages you’ll never read
Pages everyone else see
I write down my fears and doubts
That I didn’t tell you
Instead we made out we kiss like lovers but my heart always stayed in a safe far away because my fear that it would shatter was what caused it to break

Love
keepsake7 Jan 2019
I’m afraid of that terrified even
I push people away because I want them to stay
To show that I’m worth fighting for
Or maybe it’s my defence because no one chooses me
So I push you away before you can pick to leave
This is my apology that will never be enough
I should of said
I know you love me
Not question why
I should of showed you I loved you
Instead of fighting it  
I shouldn’t have thought it was better if you loved someone else
Because at that moment you loved me
And that should of been enough
And It was
But my fears and self doubts held me back
So when I love someone again
I’ll love them
How I should of loved you
I just want to stop loving you so why is it this hard to move on? Is it guilt? Pain? Or that I didn’t love you how I wanted to?

These days everything taste gray
The flavours i once knew
Become memories laid to waste against tastebuds burned by your kiss
It is the last taste I remember clearly and also the one I can’t forget
Cliche yes but when I remember your lips on mine, butterflies erupt and I recall how it felt to call you mine

I don’t like cigarettes

Something else that can

One week
keepsake7 Oct 2018
You came back and I was happy
Hoping this was our second chance
I loved you more than I ever did
Because you came back
Maybe that’s a selfish way to put it
But I was glad
To be able to love you again
But we Fought so you left
And I don’t want you back
Finding out why you came back
Hurts the most
Using me because I loved you
Hurts
One week
And everything you said meant nothing
Everything we did meant nothing
And that ***** with my head
I should of realised his intentions

If I were an angel
You’d cut my wings
Pin them on you wall
Say they’re Magnificent things
But you should of seen me fly
Oh you should of seen them in the sunlight or when there dipped in moonlight
If only you didn’t
Cut my wings
You could of seen them be beautiful things

Our end
keepsake7 Aug 2018
Do you know why I ask everyday
Because I’m lost
I’m confused
I just don’t get it
You liked me so much and now your unsure
Your the one deciding everything
And me like a fool wait for every word you say
Maybe when you put the necklaces away
You were already having second thoughts
Maybe I was blind
Sure I was unhappy sure I got mad
But I still liked you
And now I’m here crying like an idiot
Because you said on thing
But you don’t love me anymore and I’m waiting for when you do

Like a fool
My ex doesn’t know if he wants to be with me and
keepsake7 Aug 2018
I think about leaving
A lot more than I should
I know I love you so much
That’d it’d break my heart
If only I could stay
But three more months
Is my limit
And I feel like
I’ve started counting down days
I enjoy being with you
But there’s more flaws than I can handle
And I know we’d have tough times
But
I didn’t know I’d be alone though them
Because when I need you most you seem to become a blank screen
A video game is all you see
And you say you love me but honestly I don’t know what you mean
You show it when it’s meant to but do you ever want to text me
I love you ?
Because the conversation only starts if I talk
Otherwise it’d be silence and nothing more
And maybe I’m looking at this wrong maybe it’s my anxiety and I’m staring at a mirror that only shows my flaws
I’m reading the book backwards
And knew the ending from the start

Living
keepsake7 Jul 2018
Death is boring
A dark void of nothingness
Some people choose death
Others accept
But life
Life is feeling a soft breeze though your window
It’s listen to the crickets at night
Life is children’s laughter and....false hope
It’s the chance to breathe underwater
And death is knowing you’ll suffocate

Am i real?
keepsake7 May 2018
Why do i exist
The answer always changes
You were born to be loved
So why don't i love myself?  
Your here for a reason
Can you tell me why or do i just believe i'm meant to be
Why is it that i feel like i Shouldn't exist that i don't feel ok in my own skin that the safest i feel is around no one else
Most days i can't leave my house
i never make a noise when i scream or i cry so much vomiting becomes easy
I'm better off saying i'm fine pretending i'm not hurt
Only to question why am i alive

My rooms a mess and no matter how many times i clean
it ends up the same way over and over again
I could write off my sadness as beautiful torture but my red shot eyes and chapped lips don't seem beautiful my reflection is something i hate and my scars taunt me every single day

If you were to ask me why i'm writing this i couldn't tell you maybe right now i'm to emotional to think
Or prehaps i'm questioning my own sanity
I am feeling odd i wish saying i'm happy and meaning it were the same

Alex said she couldn't wait to grow up
Alex said every thought in her head
Alex didn't leave home without a smile everyone who knew said she was a "happy girl"
Alex went away for a few days and was different afterwards
Alex screamed about demons in her head
Alex arms started having scars
Alex once said she couldn't wait to grow up
So why did Alex **** herself

when i'm mentally incapable of leaving my bed
i force myself to leave my comfort zone
stays behind and i head to school
i head Outside
and sometimes i'm fine

knowing i should enter but i walk away instead
other times i hide in a four walled bathroom stall
only hearing my silent cries as i wait for next period
alone

maybe it's my own uncertainty
that makes me second guess
tells me in whispers that you've changed
but am i just over thinking
about the future i can't see
second guessing
even your love for me
or is it my fear
that everything isn't what it seems

and when i think of him i'm
reminded of the cigarette that hangs loosely in his mouth
his eyes mirror the pain of loss
he whose hair was inked dipped
and his kiss of thorns
pricked my lips every time we kiss after all
he was a man who'd broken himself
and i was nothing more than cement trying to rebuild his walls

job
its hard trying to find a job when all i can do is try and write poems
its not something in demand right now and even if it is i can find how to apply
i don't know how to do anything
maybe it's because i stay up to 2am and forget to eat
or im turning 17 in about 4 weeks?
maybe it's trying to find effort to go to school every morning
for teachers who say im whats called a "problem child"
i can't push my problems away or use excuses like "they didn't help" or "it's not my fault" because i know my problem
i can't get a job
i don't know what i'm gonna do with my life -_-(sign~) i'm gonna go sleep now

and all the lovers i'll never have
caress their lovers in bed sheets
that hold their hearts with
smiles i'll never see
and sometimes i
wonder if i was them would i feel complete
their souls skinny dipping in the gold heat
of the oven light as the open bay window
shows a galaxy
with a thousand stars baring their hearts that
makes me wonder
if i enough will my dreams come true

i wish you knew that i'm terrified
someone better will come along
because i still feel like i'm
inadequate compared to her
and i know you'll say i'm perfect
that i don't have to compare myself to anyone
and maybe thats the problem
because i can only find my
flaws whereas you find beauty
in my imperfections

blues war
keepsake7 Mar 2018
he was only seventeen
when he went to war
he left with a smile
trying to tell his mother he'd be fine
i still remember the bluest eyes i've
ever seen walk into the distance gun in hand

he was only seventeen
when he went to war
i'd send messages back and forth
he'd tell me about the friends he made
and lost along the way
he'd say he was doing fine
a few misses with bullets raining down
on him but i know he was smiling
happy to fight for his country
it filled him with pride

Its been a few years now
since i saw him the messages
stopped a month ago
i thought maybe...just maybe
he was coming home
but then we got the letter
"killed in action"
the man with the bluest
eyes I've ever seen
wasn't coming home again

Like a siren she lured him in
a blissful melody took him to the deep
as she played her song
he believed the lyrics she sung
and fell in love
he didn't realizei he couldn't breathe
so he fell asleep to her voice
