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

I want to date for the fun of it
Wake up in someone’s bed because I can
But I keep scattering my heart about in hopes someone will see me
Choose me
And stay
I’m 21 now and I feel like I’ve got so much time yet I want to just love without being left maybe I come on to strong or too timidly I know I’ll find someone but I m tried of falling for now

At midnight

Our souls dance in the night
When our heartbeats are dormant
And our eyes only open to dreams
Our souls whisper to each other
And dance atop stars

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
keepsake7 Mar 2018
i hope you find someone better to love

You may be your fathers kin but you are not your fathers sin
And you are not becoming a monster just when you look in the mirror you see one
The alcoholic mother who couldn’t kiss you goodbye and the father who seeped in toughness always telling you to be a man I’m sorry
Sorry he hit you because you wanted a doll that was to girly or had your nails painted to the boys who got called names and home life’s weren’t to great do not become that man or woman in your life don’t see them in your reflection because I know you don’t like bullying the nerdy kids I know you miss the life in your photo that hides in your bookshelf the one where your mum was shining and your dad still a hero in your eyes
I’m sorry you grew up to quickly and can’t cry to your friends that boys are tough is a saying because showing your pain shouldn’t make it worse I’m sorry our society couldn’t save you
Still unfinished only my thoughts currently

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

nothing waits for you
keepsake7 Jan 2020
I am worried about my future
Everyone says it's fine
That i can take it slow
I’m young i don't need to know what i
Want to do
But I am lost in a backstreet road that i have never walked down
A forgotten town that i don’t know the streets too
I am lost and everyone says it's fine
Without knowing the way or the destination
They tell me too keep going but what if the places I find
Are not what i wanted
What have i wanted
Were am i wanted

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 :/

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

lovers
keepsake7 Apr 2018
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

We didn’t even date and yet you get angry like you have a claim to my person
We didn’t even date and yet you try and change my choices
We didn’t even date
We liked each other mutually at one point even talked about it but we didn’t make a move and I moved on apparently he decided to be passive aggressive without speaking his feelings out loud and I’m done now
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
“ g

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

keepsake7 Mar 2023
I made a playlist while we were together and it’s been left untouched because you left before I got the chance to give you songs that reminded me of you
I feel like everytime I write on here it’s just of love that happened and failed or love that didn’t I wish the people I liked where better but my choices always seem wrong

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

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.

Addict
keepsake7 Dec 2018
I don’t like cigarettes
But I need a new addiction
Something else that can
slowly **** me
torture me like
Loving you did
Because without you
What am I supposed to do
To stop my itch?
I want to move on
But I still miss you

Living

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

what comes next?
keepsake7 May 2018
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

You’d cut my wings

If only you didn’t
Cut my wings
You could of seen them be beautiful things

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

Conversation starter
keepsake7 May 2020
I want to make friends
But it always ends in failure
From beings terrible at keeping a conversation
To being left on read
I want to expand my bubble
But that’s hard to do
When even thing I say
is just not worth your time
From lol and wbu  
To
emoji face and seen :10.30
maybe I’m just hard to talk to or I just haven’t tried enough
But I didn’t know talking to people my age was as hard as it was

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 :/

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

Depression is the demon in my bed that keeps me warm
It becomes my only friend when I push everyone else away
It knows my fears and wishes
Depression walks with me at night we talk to the stars and whisper with the trees
Depression nodded along when I told my father I’m suicidal depression hugged me in the backseat when he didn’t reply
Depression has kept me company when no one else did it shows me how beautiful the world can be because I know I will miss it
I will miss life but I don’t with to be living maybe my ghost will wonder the world and if that will be the case maybe happiness will come along

I’m scared of living to late
That I’ll miss the best chance of feeling alive
Because I can’t take failure
I’m tired of spending days trying to feel okay again
And one day I know I will need to fail
To go through the feelings of being alive
I don’t know if I can handle that
Stress got to me today and I just feel extremely anxious that I’m doing everything wrong

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

She was beautiful
I couldn’t even look at her eyes afraid I’d stare forever if I did
I don’t know what it was that made her amazing
Plain and boring a normal person you’d never think twice about but
She was beautiful
And that was suffocating
I hate attractive people because most don’t realise and I could see them in a crowd and fall in love
135 · Jun 2020
I loved you
keepsake7 Jun 2020
You broke my heart like you were use to it
I took you back trying to find the pieces of me
You came back with a grin if only I had know I was there for your humour
Weeks go by and you leave again and I was more shattered than the first time even though some part of me had realised you’d go
I guess I’m use to it
When people leave they take a piece of you with them maybe it’s so you always have a missing part of you or because that’s the trophy they collect once they finish their game who knows I don’t but I’ll move on because a part of me will always love them but I will not stay chasing my past to not see my future
Sometimes I get stuck of what if’s and wonder why I didn’t do something I let it consume me I don’t want to do that anymore so this is my last post for this person because he is in my past and I can’t final move forward

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

keepsake7 Feb 2020
I can’t wrap my head around my thoughts
Sometimes all I can do is think
Think like a tv with a static screen
A buzzing that won’t go away
The constant this or that
And then nothing at all like an empty house whose floorboards creek with a whisper from the wind
Sometimes I prefer nothing at all the silence
The empty streets that echo my step when I walk knowing it’s just me
But then it can be to much its hail on my roof as I toss an turn trying to get everything to stop when silence is loud
A blizzard that comes so quickly like a scream from a man with no voice to be heard
To the fly I hear buzz in the dark
I wish my silence was peaceful enough that I could sleep

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

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
