She dressed in white wandering the halls
dancing under moonlight
he showed up black as midnight
begging for her to love him again
she vanished at dawn as dewdrops
fell down his cheek
and he waited for
night to come again

I believed in love
I fell in love
But your the one who broke me
Who destroyed my fantasies
I believed in you love
But you destroyed us

She lays in a cursed bed
Shackled and broken
Her body has become
A wasteland
Bruised hips
Burnt bits
fresh scars could be seen on her thighs
Her eyes blue as the sea started too drain down the sink losing all
The stars that once shone within them
She laid next to a phantom
Whos smile made ice melt
Who hugged her tightly against a chest with no heart
And a love that was never anything more
Than between the bedsheets
not really finished end doesn't make sense but what i thought of first might fix it later (currently in class :/ )

And chatted with the voices in my head
The mirror show me everything i hid
And i forgot when i dissappe

doubting love
keepsake7 Feb 2018
Is love much more than a word
Because that's all you ever say
i love you over and over
Like a broken disk on replay
I don't know if you can show me love
Because our romance seems fake
Is i love you more than a word
Is it more than just
Fake

Why do i want to hug you so bad
But your back scares me
Cold and unwelcoming
I'm afraid to touch you
You might get mad or find me annoying
And i know i take things to heart
But everything you say
Effects me in such away
That i wish you'd never speak again
Because i fear everything you say next
keepsake7 Feb 2018
Don’t write me a love song about heart break
Sing the sadness you felt late at night
Breathe you pain to create
Show me the broken pieces of your heart you
Locked away
Sleep beside the ghost of the lover who
Left you years ago but you can’t seem to get over
Remenice by the fire of all the couple photos
And make me feel like i can love again
Make me forget i was the one who got hurt

He was a lost love from the start
And i know i don’t love him
Not anymore but sometimes
I just want him to see what he missed out on
And sometimes i just wish he did like me
And sometimes i just wanted him to say i love you once
But i love who i’m with it’s just sometimes i imagine it's him
But the person i love makes up for it
Because he is beautifully charming and doesn't mind me saying
Stupid things at 3am and my bad habits the one i love isn’t perfect
But there's a beauty in his imperfection

Lilies
keepsake7 Feb 2018
Roses are a symbol of love
But i prefered lilies
I liked the shape
And how pure they looked
Roses were nice but
For me to red
Too loved
To much like you
Everyone wants you
But your thorns need to be removed first
I like roses the come and they go
you always get another rose
Same with lilies but there not tainted yet
Pure and white
Not stained not colourful
But beautiful nevertheless
i don't know :/

one night stand
keepsake7 Feb 2018
I saw beauty in sin
The heat between bed sheets
The lust in their fingertips
The romance
The music that came from their lips
I saw beauty in sin
With strangers id met
Who kissed me like tomorrow would never come
And loved me enough to make me forget
What heartbreak was
keepsake7 Feb 2018
She danced in my dreams
like a ghost she faded from memories
And i know it's been a year now
but i still hear her heartbeat
Caressing me in bed and
Her smile destroys me because the last words she said
With the smile that shone like a jewel i’d never find

why i write
keepsake7 Feb 2018
Why do i write?
Well why do you breathe
It's simple i have to
The words like a whirlpool
Twist in my head strangle every other sense
I type my heart onto a page
A blank page i fill with soul
For me my writing lives
It breathes and tells me to type
So why do i write?
Because i’m  absolutely mad

what if what if what if
keepsake7 Jan 2018
i start wondering what if
constantly repeating everything i love about you
i wonder what if just hoping you
maybe you can see my worries bubbling up
just out of reach my what if a constant stream of negativity
just wondering if you like me what if you love me
i know id run to you in a heartbeat
even if my feet were in concrete or my heart stopped beating
id still run
but we dont talk ive seen you less and less
so much im forgetting your face
and i know its silly my what if
but
do you know how many times ive cry when youve said i love you just hoping that you do
how my anxiety and fears choke me telling me otherwise
but i wonder what if just what if my dreams come true

relationship pain
keepsake7 Jan 2018
i know i shouldn't be as jealous as i am but
seeing the heart on every profile pic hurts
and realising she wasn't just another girl
that you truly loved her
enough to say you'd **** her still
especially to me your current girl
maybe for you losing your virginty
was the same to me were you didn't care
but maybe for you it was a meant to be
so when i realise ill never amount to her
and your feelings could be lingering
it hurts
and i know im just thinking but its the thoughts
the thought that you'd go back to her if she asked that scares me more than anything
the problem for me is i know her and i thought it be better to write how i feel down then not say anything
keepsake7 Dec 2017
They say being different makes us unique
But when our skin is different we become incomplete
If we are born to that of a race that is to dark
And not white
We become outcast
I'm not being racist but why is it that being black
Is looked down upon
Growing up id feel the constant stares the hate filled looks
Being a little kid i didnt understand
Just miss understood
I never knew what i consider my beauty others consider my flaw
Because i'm not like them i had to fight each day
Because i'm not white
I had to worry about being shot
Or getting killed by the cops
I'm not saying this because i'm black
And i may seem racist but i'm stating facts
I'm am a person of colour but why does my colour define me
My skin is just a part of me like colour on a canvas there's a bigger picture
I am not the colour of my skin
I'm me
And why is that so hard to understand
When did our value become our skin
If i'm black and they are white
Why am i treated like i've got no right
The colour i am isn't me
Why does no one understand
To be seen as something other than right
I'm human not paper
Dipped in the wrong colour
but black isn't a colour its a shade
so what am i if not just human
I don't want to be name called and looked down upon
Have my colour become an insult
And hate myself because i'm
Not white
im not saying this because im racist ive just had so many people exclaim
oh your black
like it was out of the ordinary and people stare at me constantly on the street its weird suddenly being screamed at because of your skin

selling love
keepsake7 Dec 2017
Love sold in stores
Carefully hand picked
A bouquet of hearts tied with string
A two for one deal
Almost for free
Lust sold on the corner of every
Broken heart
Laced with pain and unwanted love
Sold in the drink the bartender mixed
Someone drugged with heartbreak
We fall out of love and subcum to lust
So go buy your hearts and give them away
Two for one
Mixed with heartbreak

Dna
I'm scared
It's in my dna
They always say that
'You'll turn out just like her'
Thats the road i'm heading down
A twisted fate almost a curse
I'm afraid and i've starting believing
Every word they said
Like a disease
I let it spead
My mind became a ball of bad thought
Repeating everything they said
I'll turn out like her
A mother who doesn't remember having kids
A person who tries to find themselves
At the bottom of a bottle
Smoking away everything thing she found happy
A mother who forgot
Her own daughters birthday
After all turning into her
It's in my dna

complete me
keepsake7 Dec 2017
I wish life was easy
Simple yet demeaning
I wish i could dream of bigger things
Know where i want to go and who i want to be
Im always just daydreaming
I want to breathe
To see streets packed and kiss strangers
To have a romance with every heart i touch
And love on the deserted streets
I want nothing more than to leave my
Worth to others who praise me like a star
And worship me like the sun
I want someone to say i'm worth it
Because up till now i've been
Nothing more than worthless
So can someone cherish my heart
And kiss every part of me
keep my heart in a trophy case like its a diamond
Can you look into my eyes and tell me everything
Say you love me and let me believe it
I want my soul to stop yearning for a love it'll never reach
I don't need strangers to kiss me on the street
Just a man who can love me
And make me complete

Hey dad I can’t sleep
At three am I feel weak
Hey dad I can’t sleep

Hey dad I can’t sleep
Everyone thinks I’m happy
Everyone including you
The monsters roam my head again
Hey dad I can’t sleep

faking romance
keepsake7 Dec 2017
She kept falling in love
Falling for strangers on the street just to feel loved
Because she was born with a heart to big to fit
And tears to small to see
So she smile like a song
Never really falling in love
Not with anyone

our love
keepsake7 Dec 2017
I love the memories of us
The ones that kissed me on highways alone at night
The ones hugging me in bed
The memories in old songs
And at the bottom of my coffee cup
The memories of us that keep me up
That are at 2% battery
That hide in your smile
And the ringtone of us

thorns of a rose
keepsake7 Dec 2017
i forget my hygiene
Like showering and brushing my hair
Sometimes it's not changing my clothes
And i don't mean for two or three days
Sometimes it's two to four weeks
Sometimes my effort leaves me in bed
And when i say sometimes i mean
I'm swallowing glass
That leaves my body though
New fresh cuts
its hanging around friends that feel like complete strangers
but not leaving because your afraid of being asked whats wrong
It's breaking down crying but not shedding a tear
Because your mascara will run
it's turning the hot tap but getting cold water
Staying in the bath until you feel something more than numb
It's getting out but sitting on your bed trying to be cold
It's staying awake till four only to sleep to four the same day
It's forgetting to eat but not wanting to
Craving something you can't have
It's knowing that you need to move
but staying still until you Can manage to drag
yourself away from the only place you feel safe
Sometimes it's forgetting how to breathe
But there's no instructions on how to breathe
Everyone says "your body know how don't think about it"
But now i'm more aware and i'm gasping for air but
It's not that i won't breathe again it's just the
"Everyone can breathe why can't you
It's easy  She can breathe why can't you"
"Nothings wrong you can still breathe
Don't ask for help just breathe"
"Why can't you be more like her she can breathe
Without making a big deal out of it"
"Stop pretending you can't breathe"
SMILE
Why can't you?
why don't they understand
"i just can't"

caramel milkshake
keepsake7 Dec 2017
Caramel milkshake everyday I would sit here with her
Her eyes showed happiness
Her laughed breathed it
She with everything she was defined it
Not once when she got sick did she stop smiling in fact she shone brighter
Just a little bit brighter Then she started fading like a candle in the night
She was swallowed by darkness yet she smiled the doctor said she’s fading
She just laughed and said she’s not going yet
Even though I knew what she said was a lie
I believed it because she sat the old and pale with eyes that once showed happiness
And everything she was defined it
I finish my drink Grabbing my cane I realise
A Carmel milkshake
Brought her back every Sunday

Voice that told him to love

Why do you beg with your hands cradled in your lap?
Why do you beg for forgiveness from those in power?
Why do you lower you expectations because it’s too hard?
Why did I let you leave so easily?
i loved them but i gave up
because i wasn't good enough
that was my limit on someone i loved

chained writer
keepsake7 Dec 2017
Behind a single screen
I continue to write
Bound by the sentences I type
Type type type I breathe life into poems
My chest gets heavy and I swallow
type……
My eyes become blank and I stare and the screen
type…..
It rings in my ears the words I could write
The words I should write
But I can’t think
type……..
It’s become undone the reason I wrote
I sit back
Type
once i started writing for others i forgot how to write my emotion and wrote more for what they'd like then for what i chose
i love writing i want to get better but if someone asked me to write i wouldn't refuse and thats a problem because i have no emotion no effort because i didn't see it
it didnt bring life
for me it was more of a wall that wanted t be a house but im not a builder
i need to change that

her is i we are broken
keepsake7 Dec 2017
she always had a smile never showing how much it hurt
hiding her pain away from the world
building walls so high she couldnt see over them
a broken girl with a heart of a child
all she ever wanted was to be fixed
but she always says sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
so why does she cry herself to sleep because of the lines etched on her skin and the demons repeating ever word that made her feel worthless
when i was in a mood again i typed because i didn't want to cry

friendship deceit
keepsake7 Dec 2017
I once loved my best friend
More than a best friend should
Her smile made me happy
And i was sad on my own
I started falling for this girl id known
But i realised that this love was unrequited
And it should never of happened
So i pushed it away pretending that i loved another
And she already had someone she loved
So i ignored the pain in my heart and the voice that  said
Its ok to fall in love
Its been a few years and i still see her like that
But i've found someone who makes me happy
Someone whom i adore
Beside i pushed her away
I gave up this love
And allowed my cousin to make her smile
In things i could not
before i turned 15 i started falling for my best friend im 16 now and still love her very much but i wanted her to be happy i owe her that much i knew if i said i love you it would of fallen on deaf ears

A+ girl
keepsake7 Dec 2017
She was perfect in every way
Yet she still managed to find flaws
I told her how amazing she is
She smile and said im not
But i know how hard she tries
When she got disowned
She still had her smile
Her father doesnt care
He pretends she's not there
Her mother loves her dearly
Its her stepfather whos made her hurt
I could write forever
Typing everything she's gone though
But its not my place to say
I might not be in her life when im older
I might be far away
We might not be  best friends
But i want her to know
I notice i care i owe her my life
Id be dead if she wasnt here
So that girl who puts her effort into everything
Rely on me
Because i know your hurt
And you say its ok but
I've felt like you
I've been hurt in a way that
Made me forget what to say
and taught  me how to pretend its ok
So don't look at me with eyes of pain
And pretend to smile it all away

Sometimes my heart just hurts
His got a girl
And i've got a boy
I liked him once
But im in love now
Honestly im happy

What does love feel like?
I feel swallowed in a sea of butterflies
That I drunk from the glass
atop his beating heart that lays in my bed
I see romance in the blank pages he has yet to complete
And I love the smile that makes me feel shattered
But head over heels in love

She fell from above
Gentle like a feather
Effortlessly
She was seen as the definition of beauty
She had wings that held her up
allowing her to breathe
She’s flying
Flying away
From where she sat
Upon heavens staircase.

lovely death
keepsake7 Dec 2017
I loved him once when a kiss on the cheek was happiness
I loved him once when I was six and he told me his feelings
I loved him once when I was twelve and he said it wasn’t working
I loved him when I was fifteen and he came back to me
I love him when I was twenty one and caught him cheating with someone
I loved him when he hit me
Even when he said they never find the body
Yes I loved him once when the world above
Needed me and the police tried finding my body
I love him when happiness was a kiss not a missing person’s poster
I truly loved him once when I had a heartbeat

falling leaf
keepsake7 Dec 2017
He never liked you a sentence made laughable by a child’s scream.
She believed it and a tumour grew
He lured her in begging her to stay the thread of fate became tinted
To her he was a leaf twirling and spinning floating, endlessly waiting to fall
She was the wind blowing relentlessly beneath him lifting him up
Hoping he would never fall but he decided to lower himself to the ground
And she waited for another falling leaf.

— The End —
