they told me to get over you.
they gave me her
and forced me to stop longing for you,

but the truth is

i still love you, i forever will.
even if the world drowns us in hate
because i've finally learn thats its okay to be gay.

I wonder what it would feel like to hear the words
"I Love You"
slip from your mouth ...
but of course those words will never come to mind.
Cause I love you and I will never been on the same line.

No matter how many times I try
Your voice always
Runs in the back of my mind.
Telling me
To do this, and do that.
And if I don’t listen
Your grip becomes tighter around my neck.
Everytime my stomach grumbles
You force me to drink more water,
Telling me that food isn’t good for you.
Everytime I want to eat,
she throws me in front of my mirror
making me look at my fat.
So much for that meal.
Weeks go by and i'm not doing much better.
But I'm almost there.
One more pound she whispers.
At first I was relieved,
but what does one more pound really mean?

I've recently made a new friend.
She's tall, skinny, and beautiful.
She's everything I've ever wanted to be.
Last night as I was looking in the mirror
and she whispered into my ear
that she knows how to make me pretty.
I agreed to her plan.
She asked for my name and she replied
with her name in return.
Ana...
So familiar, where have I heard it before?

Maybe we’re another version of Romeo and Juliet
Then again...maybe not.
I,Juliet, have fallen madly in love with my one and only Romeo.
But Romeo had another plan of his own.
He was just an actor looking for a staring roll.
And I was the perfect fit for a backup character that no one would ever know.
Maybe that’s all we’ll ever be
A fake Romeo and A broken Juliet never really meant to be.

It felt like a gunshot.
Time freezing.
Hard breathing.
Everything coming to a stop.
But now I just feel numb.
I remember the trace of vanilla
that ran down your back.
I still feel your light crimson blush
that I truly love.
I often see your long rose hair
everywhere my eyes wonder.
But most of all
I will never forget the moment
when I saw your lips with his.
Sloppy and quick.
Obviously not planing to quit.
It felt like a gunshot.
Time freezing.
Hard breathing.
Everything coming to a stop.

i don't want to
i rather walk a hundred miles
without a drop of water
than do as you say
i don't want to
so i sit here letting
your loud words
into one ear and out the other
i don't want to
is all i manage to say
letting another tear run down my face.
This isn't about anything particularly just wrote it

Im typically good with words,
But today they twine together
Unwelcoming me.
Blocking my thoughts
Letting this poem actually defeat me.
Im typically good with words,
But today the clouds above my head
Aren't their normal color.
Today they aren't consumed with
White, wheat, nor wisteria.
Only grey swirls are seen
When my eyes flicker up.
Im typically good with words,
But that was before
I was introduced you
And this crazy world.

They all say i'm happy,
that my smile proves it.
I'm not going to lie...
its true.
Im happy...
happier than i've been the past 3 years,
but I remember.
I remember when I couldn't go a day
without a single cut
because if not...
I'd forget how to breathe.
I remember everyone said,
its because im young,
but it's not.
It brought me comfort,
and soon what felt like love.
The funny things is...
I forgot about all that.
Until I was laying in bed last night,
and forgot how to breathe again.

Talking twenty-four-seven,
losing track of time.
Imagining what your lips would feel like against mine.

Forgetting everything all at once.
Longing for those crystal blue eyes,
everytime...

Just Friends
that's all that ever stood between this fragile line,
that we call you and I.
But I see the way your eyes meet mine.
The way your smile grows brighter than any star in the sky.

Little do you know,
my heart wants more than simply You and I.
It's praying for a beautiful lifetime.
Sometimes you write what you can't say.

My dad wonders around this world with pride,
since day one of my life.
He jokes around with a silly language
that none other shall understand.
He created his own world that I have yet to see,
but he lies.
He's not the guy he claims to be.
He says he love me, but I can see through his brown eyes.
He doesn't see me clearly.
He throws me hurtful words that destroy me.
Sometimes i'm not enough to make him happy,
and i'll never will be.
For i'm just a daughter that came into his life
a little to early.

The simple thing I love about a book isn’t the words, nor the story. It’s the realization that comes along with it. Yes it ,might be a fairy tale, and most things aren’t happily ever after in today's world. An argument here, and few tears there. This one little story made me realize something no other book really said.

Love isn’t smiling because they made you happy with a silly joke. Nor is it feeling as if your heart might beat out of your chest after a few sweet words someone said. Love is wiping their tears and snot away when you should be somewhere else, but you're not because they need you. Love is diving head first into trouble without a second thought. Even though you might end up hurt in the end. Love isn’t a simple smile, a rose blush of the cheeks, nor is it the extra beat of your heart. It’s so much more…

I also learned something about myself. I’m not the words others speak. From friends to family. They all don’t know me. I’m not the girl I show to be. I might be young, but I know who I am. I’m quiet with most things then suddenly I’m outgoing plain old me. I think twice before talking to a friend. It might not seem like it, but I take in every detail and try to take in the beauty of the outside world. I’m not just the girl who turns everything into a cheesy joke. I’m so much more.

This book has made me realize something about the world. Some of us might be poor, others could have illnesses, some could be living the rich life. Our status in life doesn’t matter. It doesn't put a sign above our heads telling us what we are. You are free to choose your journey. No matter how you want it to be. Yes, it’s going to be one of hardest things you’ll ever do in life, but that’s what makes it worth it. Don’t take a step back in life… go for it. Take another look around. You might just discover something new that no everyone has the eyes to see.  

~Endless Ambitions
I write this after a book I read. It was beautiful, and helped me discover so many things.

Tell me something,
something you've never told anyone before.

Tell me when you lie in bed,
do you think of all the stupid things we've done.

Tell me if you ever hurt
when you remember how we are meant to live different lives.

Tell me one last time
that all you ever wanted in life was for there to be a YOU AND I
lakyn miller Jan 2018
My heart was yours.
You might have never wanted it
But it wanted you more than
Than anything it’s ever felt.
You knew it was fragile,
But you dropped it from
A million miles above the
Earth's surface.
It shattered,
But still wants you.
You drown in the dark sea
Filled with creatures.
It barely beats,
But it still wants you.
Haven’t you realized?
You’re the key to my heart.

I hate the way you smile at the stupidest things
like those horrible jokes,
but for some odd reason I smile too.
I hate the fact that sometimes you never shut up,
then all at once you go silent.
Just like the moon does when the sun rises.
But most of all I hate that you're you.
Everything about you
made my heart carelessly start to care for you.
Now im torn between
LOVING and HATING
you...
lakyn miller Jan 2018
Do you hear that maddening voice in the back of your head,
When you’ve done something wrong?
Or a drowning pull on your heart
When you fall in love with the wrong someone.
What about that silly tingling feeling
at the pit of your stomach when fear rolls in?
If so, we finally understand your diagnosis.
It’s very common really,
Your human.

— The End —
