Momentary Bliss
Lenora Aug 2022
Ofcourse I still dream about you ..
ofcourse the dream is relatively a nightmare and I’m in panic till I find you
Still your arms and sweet smile reach me
Your aura and voice wraps around me till your all I see completely
Waking up from a dream to realize now I’m back in reality
Where you would never truly love me faced with fatality
If you found me crying
I’m dying to find out
Why in the end it’s only you I dream about

When did the coloring stop around us ?
Moving on is a hard process as I’m bombarded with dreams each night. And how I wake up your the last thing I always see before I open my eyes. Trapped in what feels like an endless surface of doors hallways and rooms. I cry as is all begins to become too much for me and I begin to feel trapped. I make my way to the outside.. the fresh are.. the feeling of freedom. As I continue to walk with streams rolling down my face I look to my left and see your glowing skintone and your eyes meet my face to ask if I’m okay as if nothing ever went wrong. You smile at me and my mind scape lights up and it’s as if things were back how they were in the beginning. Not afraid to touch.. not afraid to show the happiness you pour into me. I hold you, I touch you, your hands, yours arms, your face I embrace you.. as I drag you by your ever loving arms and everything feels perfect.. as I blissfully walk to a never occurring end . I then wake up. As the memories of torment begin to fade and all I can recall is your entrance from stage left and how that bit of bliss is all I have left.

Pain to such a soft spirit soft soul
Turns the aura cold
Turning into a person I’ve never seen before
This not the person I loved that I had feelings for
I don’t know you anymore
Never made my heart this sore
Or you did but at least you acted like you cared
At least you were there

You know I really do love you.
and you’re making it so hard for me..
if you don’t want to I can just let you go.
still trying to reach out when you couldn’t even be bothered with me..
I’ve stopped myself from telling you I hate you so many times..
I never thought you would make me feel this way.
I’ve never wanted to talk to someone so bad in my life.. knowing they won’t respond..

I should be unbothered
Lenora Jul 2017
It's never me
Even though that's the way it should be
Your words pierce through my heart like a sphere
These are the most hurtful words to my ears
My heart breaks with each word I speak to you in confusion
Im praying that all this is a delusion
My voice cracks
You have broken me and I can't put the pieces back
Its the 11th and you spill this heart breaking news
You have given me the ultimate blues
How could you hurt someone who would do anything for you
My love was true
My heart is becoming so cold it's almost frozen
While My sadness and anger is molten
We don't love eachother the same
But I won't play the blame game
I never had to contemplate over you and another being
I promise that when I accepted your ring
I've never had feelings for another and been confused about you
Cause I'll never have to pick and choose cause I truly loved you
Why am I an option if you're "inlove" with me
This isn't the way love is supposed to be
Love isn't supposed to make me want to disappear in to thin air
Or make me dissolve into myself without a care
Im deep in the ocean drowning in my broken heart cause I can't swim
The light is getting more and more dim
Cant even get a clue
Why am I waiting for your rescue
What happened to we can't give up now
This happened to our love how..
I slowly felt you slip away
And i was right and it has come to this day

And I don’t fw forevers
You’ll never
catch me ever
Captain Cappin she saying forever

she lies

I don’t fw forevers
It’s cool if you stick around but I’ve found none of us own together
It’s disrespectful cause you’ll never stay the long way
It’s weird cause you could die rn anyway
Each one up and leaves
Because a connection is hard to achieve
It makes it hard to breathe
And the feelings I can’t explain make me wanna scream
It’s rooted so deep
Now I’m slap boxing with sleep
My mental my physique
It can’t compete
Hopeless romantic bedded deep within me
Over you I can’t find a peace of mind
People take a piece of mine
And leave the baggage of emotions to claim as mine
Everything’s catching up with me so bleak
Letting my love gather to form solid as concrete

No one cares
None of them are really aware
Of this crown i wear called depression
And what i feel and how they think are two totally different perceptions
Im always down
Even when I dont notice it i am always wearing a frown
Love for me is like the hot burning sun
You cant get a good glimpse nor a touch not even one
See i thought i had the sun and tamed its fire
Cause at one point i did feel a hopeful heart warming desire
But the sun soon turned cold
And no longer with love was i so bold
I will look over my shoulder
Cover my heart with huge boulders
Before i let anyone in
I will close up what is left of myself
Before I ever again let someone destroy my mental health
I will shut down before i let anyone decide its me they wanna heal
My heart a 4 way stop with a Yeild
but cannot proceed with caution
Cause the hurt happens way too often

Loading up countless ammunition for me

Full release

You think so low of me
Breaking me making me feel like I deserve it
But who deserves this
Does forgiveness hurt like this

Even in my wrongness
Does it truly hurt like this…

she know imma just leave
While she steady begging please
And she just wanna be good to me
But I can't just let it be
She just wanna listen to my problems
She just find out how to solvem
She's all up in her feels
While I'm steady tryna heal
She tryna figure what's my deal
I ain't got no heart that's on the real
She told me that I need to chill
I ain't wanna hurt her but now I gotta go in for the ****
Don't understand how she got all these feelings
While I'm breaking down from healing
Tired of doing the girls I know I don't want so wrong
Waiting for the right female to come along
I just wanna love
Wanna be high off of you like a drug
Want that love that's with all of my heart
Real **** that won't tear apart
Wanna be with someone where i can be me
I can be completely open and honest be free
I wanna fall in love with a real one
Just f/w one person and be done
I want to show all my affection
Be with someone who takes me in the right direction
Loving you lowkey
cause I don't want nobody to see
You all me

I been bleeding my entire life in your silence•
But some reason I feel safer in your violence •
Your ways feel natural•
its so wrong being the actual•
Never cried before•
But three tears rolled down after you walked out that door•
I wasn't hesitant at all•
I took those blades out and yes it was my down fall•
New cuts over old scars•
I just think I've been pushed too far•
You been gone for two years•
Just came back and your leaving again hurtful words going in my ears•
My heart called for you all that time•
It ached and cried and now again it will whine•
Less than three minute phone calls maybe every couple of weeks•
And ten thirty to three o'clock visitations would make my heart so weak•
Told us you'd come home and be a changed man•
And even after years of lies and betrayal and all the heart breaks I believed you can•
But boy was I wrong•
You're one of the main reasons my heart is so gone•
I forgave you when you put your hands on me•
Cause love and forgiveness is what it's supposed to be•
It hurt so bad but it also hurt when you walked out that door•
A feeling you said I wouldn't feel anymore•
Its so heartbreaking to sit and watch love die•
Probably why I'm so heartless and not even for more than 5 minutes can I cry •
Watching love fall apart•
The pain could destroy someones heart•

My best...
Lenora Jul 2017
I swear I only find peace in my dreams
Waking up seeing things aint what they seem
My heart while asleep so calm
But soon as i wake up turns into a bomb
Dreaming of the feeling of being in love
Felt like my soul had been kissed from an angel above
I woke up and for one second I felt it And for that second i was at peace with myself
I felt love and felt for myself some wealth
I want to feel that feeling in my heart everyday
I become sad when I awake and the feeling goes away
This isn't what it's supposed to be
My dreams truly being better than my reality
Causs you messing me up
Got me yelling out ****
Why do i do this
This love thing can never get the just of it
i told you you were ******* me up you said how
I said cause your making me want you more god I want you now
You said well then your ******* me up too
All that runs through my mind is *** do i do
Didn't even realize when we talked how much I wanted to cry
You know I cant but noone knows why
You laying on my chest
That feeling truly being the best
But I stayed trying to cover my face & and hide
Just incase my heart decided for once it wanted to cry
Cause I heard the whine
But in my heart a shed of a tear there was no sign
I come to reality and see myself about to fall
But weather or not you catch me its your call
You asked me what I see in you a few weeks ago
And up to now I still haven't let you know
I see someone beautiful with a beautiful soul
Willing to help someone so cold
I seen you were independent
Which made me fall deeper in it
In it being you
Cause you be having me speechless and not not knowing what to do
I see a kind heart
One I pray that wont tear me apart
In you i see motivation a person that keep trying
Giving all dedication to what she loves
I see somewhere i would love to lye my trust
Cause you said its not nowhere near lust
Caring cause you find my pain attractive
When most would find my hurt radioactive
I see happiness in you and some for myself
Cause in the past that's just not how the cards were dealt
I see someone sensitive cause i see the soft spot
Tbh i say you caught me right on the dot
You said its bad timing
But we could just be unwinding
It could work out ya never know
You just need to figure out the road to take the way to go
In you i see confusion
You just can't seem to sum up what you want in conclusion
I see a person so smooth
One that has me right into her groove and how she does things
When you first called me you had my feelings down to a science
Like i said before you had me in complete silence
I see someone who can read me like a book cover to cover
You do it like no other
You being someone i try to fall back from and it just doesn't work
The thought of that id b lyin if I said it didn't hurt
You being so bad for me but feeling so good
The rush im feeling so wrong ofcourse it would
Your lips against mine
I forget about the surroundings the situation and the time
Then my soul starts the fire
Of this horrible addicting desire
You are so ADDICTIVE 
and my mind knows im wrong and gets so descriptive
With these feelings its makes my thoughts vision blurry
My mind under a cloud of smoke rushing it wants to hurry
But it's just too **** late
& maybe thats what my spirt hates
Im oh so infuriated with you
But it never shows because you never give it a reason to
I remember the exact night when you caught me in your hook
The night when my heart shook
When you called and sung for me
My heart opened its eyes for itself to see
But when you started story telling
Boy she started screaming and yelling
During that night I caught myself biting my lips
And tingling all through my fingers tips
When big you my heart became alive
And for you she charged and took her leap and dived
And till this day I am still reading that book
Wondering when you tie the knot on her hook
day to day she struggles to see what's on the next page
And until she reaches the end her heart stays in rage

Up at night
Sighing turns into crying
You called
So the poem got stalled
Now its 10:27am and I want to start crying
But now its endless sighing
Again
Feeling these emotions where do I begin
I haven't wrote in months
But i feel the need to be blunt
These are things id never tell you just incase you may feel bad
Cause its starts off as anger you're oh so mad
Then you get down and now your oh so sad
I pray to god that you're faithful to me
I pray you have truly changed and you're everything you said you'd be
I lose my mind
I don't tell you most of the time
How one minute im find and the next I have tears rolling down my face
These horrible thoughts and feelings im trying to replace
You make my anxiety bounce off the walls
But with out you i wouldn't have known i had it at all
It starts off with heat covering my body then i start to sweat
You've turned me into a train wreck
Then i start to feel nauseous
Then i begin to be cautious of my emotions
I worry 24/7 about you and other girls
How if anything happened that would shatter my world
I can't stomach a situation that deals with your ex
It getting worse and worse and today is the next
How i can never think any good of you
When it comes to her
everything you've done becomes a blur
Everything isn't just little when it comes to them
And the chances of you sacrificing for me are slim
I feel like they tear us apart
There actions forge into our relationship and I end up with the hurting heart..
Id sacrifice anything for you
Do anything you say to do
But you cant. Wont do the same for me
Its alot i see
You don't think like I
And I don't think like you do
Maybe I did expect too much from you
My heart feels crushed
Feels like its carrying on to too much
My dream says theres a loss or a change coming in the relationship
Which in my heart it is very hard to grip
It says i feel indifferent neglected and alone
Sitting here on this throne
You say im am a queen a goddess to you
But is this how you treat one.. do you?
I don't want to lose something important to me
You

Hold me down .
Lenora Sep 2017
Strip down till I’m naked
strip down to my core
I can’t take it anymore
being alone
no emotional support no back bone
Strip me down till I find myself
Till I see the wealth
Till I see myself as Important
And to someone’s love I can be absorbent
Can I soak up all your love
Would you fit me like a glove
My love why couldn’t you come out from hiding
This lonely coaster I’m tired of riding
My love still dormant
Find me and of my love I can be your informant
I have loads of love to give
I keep it deep down which is no way to live
I walk around saying could it be you
No way it could be true
Every person that wants me is no good
Or do I only feel that way cause I don’t open up when I should
I’ll never find nobody just right for me
No one is different same faces are all I see
If I see someone different it’ll be difficult for me to get
When it comes to flirting or simply talking I just don’t have the wits
When I meet you I’ll say Sorry in advance I’m really shy
Don’t ask me why
Oh love I don’t know who you are
But I’ll know it’s you cause you’ll shine like a star
Ill look at you and I see a different mind
God to conversate with you I want to intertwine
I wanna know you
Know what you like to do
Peek inside to see how you feel
Listening to you speak asking if this is real
Ready for you to slide in my life
Cause I’m getting to old for lonely nights
I want a love that sets my heart on fire
Waiting for you to be my only desire
and for you to take me higher

You lied to me
Your dishonest words so clever I was too blind to see
I tried so hard to believe in you
That I overlooked every little thing you do
I convinced myself that everything you said
Even though it didn't make sense in my head
Was true
Im stupid for still loving you
After all the things you put me through
After all the nights a cried
And i felt like i wanted to die
All these feelings based off of a lie
It hurts so bad i don't want to write
I don't know anything that'll get me through the night
I definitely wont sleep
My brain won't allow me to rest because im in it too deep
My eyes almost swollen shut from tears
My best friend knew you were a liar for years
My heart doesn't even hurt cause i can barely feel
Truly im broken to the point there is nothing to heal
Sure i feel sadness but that's nothing new to me
Sadness feels like the norm now that i see
I cry when thinking of life without you
But i constantly cry when im living life with you
I cry cause i don't want nobody but you
And thats why im always puzzled on what to do
I never understand what I do wrong
Ive wondered for so long
Why was I never the only one you wanted
I was never one you showed off or flaunted
I sat in this room and said you were my home
But those words backfired you hit me in my heart & my dome
I just don't understand what i have to do to be the only one
I feel like im in a never ending race for your love and all I do is run..

Why do i feel as if my heart will soon break•
I feel the gut alerts run through my body like an earthquake•
How can i have so much love to give•
But be scared of the thought of love and to be able to live•
All because she destroyed my outlook on love•
I tried to pray and look to the most high above•
But even still in my chest i felt the pressure •
Noone in my life can give me a refresher•
I try to explain my emotions but just cant•
Going around going on inside me an emotional rant•
Imagine the feeling of drowning 10 ft underwater•
While slowly sinking farther and farther•
The way your chest tightens•
And you are so frightened •
Then you get your last glimpse of light•
So dim but in your eyes so bright•
While the darkness closes in around you•
You pray to god someone finds you•
But nobody comes•
While you feel your slow last heart beats beating like a drum•
Waiting for another love but your scared•
because what if they bring you to the ocean of emotions like someone who never cared•
You try to say you dont need this•
But this love thing you cannot dismiss•
Funny you want this when you dont want love yo destroy you like it did your family •
But towards this love thing how am I supposed to be•
My heart truly breaks everyday •
But you cannot see cause i got these stubborn feelings in the way•
Happy is was people think of me all the time •
I fake it so good everyday it should be a crime •
I sit here and pour my heart of through this pencil •
Cant speak these things they only come through this writing utensil•
Alone•
Soul on a pedestal heart should be on a throne•
Shes aching and crying•
Moaning and whining •
She feels for you but it scared to go on•
She wouldn't have a care in the world of the feelings were gone•
You always say the right things•
No wonder i never miss a call when it rings•
My heart grows sadder as feeling grow stronger•
I really can decide if this can go on any longer•
You with a girl•
And me with this hatred of the world•
Why did i even get myself attached •
Thinking about you day to day today myself becoming a latch•
I feel like a line•
But i know imma dime•
Just dont wanna be waisting my time....

Stupid
Lenora Sep 2017
Dreams they grow more wild every night
Other things may be blurry but your face is so clear so bright
You smile still so huge so sweet
Especially when our eyes meet
But that's only in my dreams
They say that dreams are supposed to be signs but in reality what does it mean
I have dreams where you're crazy wild in love with me
But that will never be
I'd be a liar if I claimed I haven't missed you after all this time
But we've been apart too long to rewind
I know this may sound stupid but I still have hope
But these dreams of you do make me mope
I can't even tell anyone how much I miss you and it's sad
The time and emotions that I put into you sometimes makes me mad
I've never been more open with a person like I was with you
When you said right person wrong time I believed it was true
When you kissed my forehead and promised me you'd leave her for me
I believed in everything we could be
But the funny thing is that promise never came true
Even though I put my entire heart into you
I won't tell a single lie I fell in love you had me shook
It was my heart you took
But when it got harder to vent
I started writing you poems and you understood what my words really meant
I remember when you said you couldn't go on and hurt me like this
I may have been hurt but to see you put me In total bliss
I wrote you a poem that I listed every emotion and feeling for you to see
I thought when you read it you would truly see me
But slowly in time I wanted you more and more
And you just couldn't open the door
I remember when you said I knew what I signed up for when we started this thing
But I didn't imagine it to be just a winter fling
I didn't talk to you for weeks my heart  cracked
Hurting so bad To my ex I ran right back
Cried to her about how much I wanted you and how hurt I was
When she asked why you ain't want me all I could s ay was because....

Take the risk or lose the chance
Going for what I want I’m not too advanced
Day to day I try to boost my confidence
But I just find myself floating in and out of consciousness
As One minute I want to be alone
And The next I want to express all the love that Hasn’t been shown
But Imma *******
You don’t have to tell me it’s embedded deep down in my soul
Ill tell you I’m here
The next day I’ll disappear
I am a broken individual yes I know
But love heals all wounds if you didn’t know
I have so much love for myself
But if I could just share it with someone else
Someone who won’t smother me when I’m low
Someone who actually understands me and doesn’t put on a show
Cause then I’ll turn into a ****
And now you yelling I ain ****
When I told you from the start
I will tear your heart apart
You moved this way to fast
Now you see it didn’t last
Had to leave you in my past
My love life is trash
Now don’t text or call my phone
Imma end up leaving you alone
These are just some feelings off the dome
To tell you I’m not made a stone

Need me a you day
A day where i can be at ease with everything to say
I wont have to worry about a thing
Mostly the ex that gave me this promise ring
Baby make my hotline bling
When i see you my sprit spreads its wings
She comes out bold and outgoing
But shes so shy without anyone knowing
Other than feeling so confident
She has no response for it
Really dont know what has drawn her heart
But she feels as if we will be together and harder than ever to break apart
When i see you my heart starts  a fire
Drops to the pit of my stomach a weird but exciting desire
My heart fell inlove with the rush
Who knew someone could fell this way over a little crush
My imagination running wild
Like the dreams of a pure minded child
Blood floods my face to create a blush smile
Id love to stay in this moment a while
When you walk past my heart beats real fast
And i long for this feeling to last
Don't really know what your doing to me
Just know my heart sat itself a place it wants to be

Everything is lovely until we take the big dip
The dip falling into poor communication
The dip falling into my insecurities and hesitations
The fall down leading into misinterpretations and lies
The fall down leading into my trust issues and my assuming steady questioning everything with a why
Why did you ever do me so wrong to where I couldn't recover
To heal the hurt I thought I had to look for love in another
Little did we know we were only hurting each other
Little did i know I was only hurting myself cause the words weren't true for me to be the lover
God I love you to the moon and back
You have me wrapped around your finger you're my heart attack
Have I finally had enough to the point where it's okay and I am numb
Or am I a hopeless romantic and just dumb
You still make little mistakes
And I try to forgive but love and time is what it takes

Here I go again
A feeling I said I’d end
But it has started over and here I begin
Same concept different feeling different person
Here goes the cycle but each time it worsens
I’ve stumbled across someone so unique
Someone with an outstanding physique
Looking at you on a screen and not even in physical form
There was something she adorn
Yes she’s still shy
But the thought of you takes her high
Still no response for it
You just give her a boost in confidence
No clue what makes you so special in her eyes
Feeling as if your the real and not in disguise
Cause after all the **** ups you may be the prize
Need me a you day part two
But the feeling is so different yes this is true
I desperately want to get to know you
Maybe cause you’re so different from anyone that I knew
I can feel it but to find it out I don’t know what to say or do

Hm .
Lenora Mar 2018
Hm .

Sadness something you think I don’t go through cause I don’t display it
Day to day I fake it
I should be in a movie I play happiness like a gem
I never present my emotions to them
Whole time I’m drowning and you’d never know
Keep my feelings down on the low
No one knows of the pain the runs deep
Or how at night how my thoughts creep
my mind goes crazy and I can’t sleep
When I’m out late at night driving and it hits me
Going 100  the speed limit is 60
Blast music to cancel out my pain
Trying to clear the clouds and the rain
I’ve isolated myself to the point to where I can’t repent
Wonder why my heart has these big dents
Maybe cause to not a soul on earth can I vent
One person to be my safe place God has not sent
I’ve tried to confide in myself only to make me feel so alone
When I’m tryna keep my heart from turning to stone
Drowning in the ocean
of my own emotions
When I just need to be saved
But my pride comes in a wave
It hurts to let someone in
I feel so vulnerable in the end
something that I want but my pride won’t let me possess
Cause it sees it as a threat
My head tells me no
But my heart truly knows
I’m in need to share my love
On my heart I push and shove
I have so much affection bottled up inside till my heart hurts
And endless tears fall from my face down on my shirt
Feelings booming till my hearts feels as if it may bust out my chest
Is it bad to have this much love trapped up or am I blessed
Not ready for a relationship but ready for a love a trust an understanding
Ready to be appreciated and feel outstanding
Someone to keep it funky w/ at the end of the day
Showing real feelings and not the fake love I’ve been portrayed
At this point now my thoughts are scattered
Ig it’s cool noone knows so it doesn’t matter

You have to let it go
If you do not let it go your soul will not grow
Your mind will not flourish or expand
And you’ll always end up with the empty hand
Never forget but always forgive
The pureness in your soul will outlive
this is for you
It’s time to get out walk away from the blue
You do not need anyone to make you whole
Growth does not always start off as a stroll
Self love will be the best love
No love will compare no matter how hard you push or shove
Be the greatest you can be
Challenges may come but you will not flee
Live to reach your dreams
Push no matter how far it seems
Live and love your life like it’s the last day living it
I know the pain is excruciating but you have to fight quite a bit
This is me telling you that you can not quit
This is far from the end
This pain is simply where you begin

Autumn

the third season of the year, when crops and fruits are gathered and leaves fall.

Change.
The world is full of change .
Every few months a new scene takes over and clouds my brain
My heart fully visible to the masses
But only one can could catch my eye as I I watch the feelings spread like rashes
All over my body in the trustest way
Until I resort to isolation when I’m not okay
But I do miss the beginning
The hot days and cold nights, the first night we kissed my emotional guard is thining
I hate change but this types always feels good a first
You feel every emotion till you swing your way back around towards hurt
And remember there was a point where you were alone
And days you dreaded the walk back home
I wanna go slow but tf is a talking stage
As if the emotions were locked away in a cage
Dreaming for escape
Because they were never meant to relate
Or maybe . Maybe it’s me .
Cause the self sabotage takes it all I see

I’ll count all the moments you can stay away
and how you couldn’t care about me
And especially how you showed it in May
Still in April June I was down for you
How I looked like a clown but I was down to bruise
I could take it all to have you in the end
Couldn’t bear to have you close but far still take you as a friend

So you don’t like change huh
Neither do I .
So I have to ask from spring to summer to autumn
Did your heart move at the same pace as mine
Honestly. I’m finna be done w all the sappy stuff soon. Time to move on. Plus I’m a Gemini so the other side bout to givem hell for a lil while 🙂 imma post the rest of what I wrote tho. Anyways back to watching 50 shades of grey.

Humdrum Emotions
Lenora Aug 2022
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss when my days were so low
The only attachment I have with those moments is when you come and go
My agony my overwhelming tendencies to rethink and overthink
And my screen then glows your name to bring me from the brink
Of my own destruction
And then I backtrack and face facts
Cause you may only want me for seduction
But all the times you eased the torment oozing from my body
At times I wonder if you had a clue or if you looked at me odly
One day I was sick of it all
Returning to a place where it seems all problems could be solved
You needed something I’d never hesitate to give
But you noticed a switch in aura maybe you sensed the low willingness to live
Either way I sat
With my red beats and a raging mind at that
A few hours past and my phone glowed.. once more
As if you could top the days seething roar
And I slide to the right
You shine like the moon in the pitch black of night
To open your mouth and ask if I’m alright
If I had plans tonight
And you seemed kinda sad Imma scoop you hang tight
The ride filled me with jitters
With my mind racing a mile a minute but refused to be a quitter
But I notice that your care to let me sit while my thoughts flow like rivers
And then begin to talk to ease the mind of the sinner
Your voice sweet and smooth
Like the string of a violin or the feeling of blues
In a single night
You took out every thought memory and demon I planned to fight
With songs and conversations
With closeness removing my hesitation
I’m getting closer and closer
All with the same fear she’ll knock my heart over
Still you’ll never know what you meant to me
And I’ll never know what we meant to be
I get frustrated with the content of my writing but then I realize that it helps me release let go and get over what my mind tries to keep circulating in my head . I have moments where I feel like I’ll never get over it and moments where I don’t even care cause what’s the point to. Constantly shifting through highs and lows it’s agony.. but what happy writer do you know ?.. better yet what happy artist you know ?

Disdain .
Lenora Apr 2023
Returning to the space of talking to myself
Words that dance in my head or end up as random letters on the shelf
Certain situations make me want to be alone
The faithfulness to your being like it’s never been shown
I love as wide as the ocean spreads even if you can’t tell
The only individual that could do so well
To hurt me with words to feel each thing you said
And still loving you as it all bounces through my head
truly wanting you to know you’re the only one
When circumstances make you quick to run
Quick to anger
Straight into danger zone
Where all the proportions are blown
And now you don’t trust me
The game of love so ugly
Never like your past if you could just trust me
I feel like a constant **** up. Like I sabotage everything with no intentions on doing so.. knowing nobody receives the love, expression, and words that I give you.. it’s like me only being for you since the beginning just isn't enough.. when I only feel for you and no one else.. but per usual I stick to myself I keep my emotions to my own thinking I could atleast have a friend to confide in but it only continued to add fire to a weak but terrorizing flame. I feel even more alone stumbling over someone I can’t even say for sure will stick around someone I can’t even say will trust me fully someone who I want so badly but doesn’t even see a future space with me. I continue to get trapped in tunnel vision thinking I can’t make you happy and it’ll only continue to get worse.. my fear of the future days constantly constrains my degrading tears.. tears only I see

Month of March Rain..
the motions wrapped up for you in my brain
Clashes with the life I live that drives me insane
How could I change when I’ve always been this way
I’m torn between if I should tell you
I don’t wanna bring hell to
All the feelings you’ve developed towards love
How you see me.. putting me above
Saying your utterly obsessed
And how you no longer want to share me with the rest
How I’m struggling to Come to terms because I feel the same
And if I tried to take you away your stuck like a red stain
On a white shirt
And it think about being apart hurts
Because I’ve come accustom to holding you in my arms
And simply being close to you is like dancing with the stars
If I say don’t let me go would you consider it love
The things I feel looking at you remain true no matter how hard a shove
Pulling and pushing
Sticky sounds and gushing
How I haven’t let anyone touch me in years but you took me
Hoping I’m not an addition to a catalog where you book me
Keep your hands right there the way I feel when you touch me proves you’re no rookie
The way I wanna lock eyes to melt when you look In mine
My mind instantly relinquishes the cookie
March was definitely the best month I’ve had in a while including the last year cycle. All great things must come to an end whether it be through ways that make your heart ache or simple disassociation. You have to be grateful for the times where you were happy and that you got a moment. A moment was never meant to hold on to forever.

I wish I could pull the sadness out of you like a never ending string
And I’d never get tired or let go till we’re down to the final seams
I’m off the ground in the air in your arms like a movie scene
The ways you made my heart smile show like slide shows in between
My days
You slid in my ways
Smoother than a ray
Of light
Blind everything in sight
When I’m with you
There’s no one that gets close to
Who can really hold me like you supposed to

Mute
Lenora Aug 2023
I’ve stared into the endlessness of a blank page
As I watched and heard my words stumble over one other in rage
I’ve truly never felt the way I feel in this moment before
Falling from a high that was never satisfying masking love galore
Each thought stacked on another
Consuming me as if my eyes could no longer see you as a lover
And now love makes me feel insane
As it ties itself in knots inside my brain
And pieces of my heart still beat on the ground
Pleading they could never hate you they just don’t know how to feel now
I now no longer know if you felt the same because of your lack of care
I constantly have thoughts on if I was just a game or if you truly needed me there running off course
sleeping less and being taken by my thoughts more
why would you say all those things for
If you wouldn't feel them anymore
I never felt this alone
You never even called or text my phone
When I needed you..
Not even to check on me .. you just don't care and I cant play the fool
If you knew you couldn't afford to love
Then why would you
I literally have so many thoughts and feelings overflowing from me I can’t even write how I want I can’t form it all into understandable sentences. It’s just been a lot of crying and zoning out I’m very much loosing touch w emotions the lover girl is dying I just feel like I’m slowly turning cold . Love ain’t for me & that’s cool ig.

Stimuli
Lenora Sep 2023
A simple string that stretches for miles
Intertwined threads that if deciphered could break the masses
Pieces and pieces of me until I’ve unraveled into nothingness
Into meaningless
Quivers in my body as every cell inside me jumps
Begging to be released
Begging to be pulled through this simple string
In agony as they come together
Only to scatter and combust
Causing movement only justifiable to someone on the verge of break
The edge of collapse
How bad could the process be ?
I’m falling into myself on a daily basis
crumbling by each word I hear
Grasping on my skin prying my flesh as if the emotions could exit my pores
Heavy heaves as I grip the soft ends of my consciousness
Lusting after the feeling of when I was okay
swaying restlessly as if I completely lost myself in that moment
Feeling every emotion every thought as every word new word clashes between
My breath from long sighs to short pants as the stimulation cripples me
Curling into the ball that tricks me into believing I’ll be okay
While my internal filter malfunctions at each and every request
Lifting me up and slamming me down
As I attempt countless behaviors to make it bearable
Losing focus
On words on thoughts on the point
Staring at tv screens phone screens
Lost on the glow of LEDS
In a trance unrecognizable to the self
Losing track of time
Having no management no organization no boundaries
A leaf in Mother Natures enchanting wind
With no destination
As life Carries me
Struggling to connect
When I feel every motion so intensely
As if my own self is against me

Lenora Apr 2022
Blurred visions of tears imprinted on my face
A picture of you meeting me with those same tears I can’t erase
A feeling of missing you that I can’t let go of in my mind
The heart can’t corporate even when they say it takes time
Feeling pity cause it’s no way you feel the same
And your feelings towards me I’m the one to blame
I’d **** just to be face to face
Just one second to have your embrace
Only to hear your voice
Or even receive a text I need a choice
Is it me or is it you
That’s holding so hard I don’t know what to do


And how I try it don’t matter
I always feel this way the morning after
I see you in my dreams
Don’t know what it means to me
All the things I see
But they can’t even be


I’m stumbling in my mind
My brain just hits the rewind
Every image of you is sublime
Even when you hurt me your still so kind
So hard to let go
Why I just don’t know
Bury me deep in the hole
I don’t wanna feel nomo
Tried to shut that doe
Tried to cut you off it’s a no go
Knowing what I need
But my heart my brain caught up within these dreams


Help me

Because
how I try it don’t matter
I always feel this way the morning after
Maybe I could just
Give you my heart on a platter
Each day I wake only to be sadder
What will come the morning after

What will come the morning after …

MIA
Dancing in a snow storm
Again
it was below freezing now it feels warm
Emotional sin
Watching like a flower before bloom
The time spent together, Like unscripted conversations before I love you
Smile in your presence all surrounded by
I like you
You like me too  
Little things that seem to excite you
Personality
Like musicality
In my senses
And how when I come close your body tenses
As if I could spot you coming towards me in a distance
Spoken words in a soft voice
Listen like a cool mist that’s not too moist
I can only say you make me feel like a laugh
And intrigue me like equations in difficult math
A feeling I only like when your around
It’s sickening to have and beats in my mind like loud thunder sounds
Like emotions Comes the lightening and it’s striken me down
It took me one time to get close just wanna be near you now
I’m simping think about you all the time like right now
And I don’t like the Cold you make it warm like do I need to pipe down

Now I’m dancing in a snow storm again
How I turn my back on motions and let you walk right on in
And when our lips lock it’s like a blend
Of everything I wanted when I passed you back then

Look at me dancing in a snow storm again

Somehow I’m open
Floating in the ocean
Of emotions
With no participants motions
I’m overdosing
I crave the truest love .. devotion
My heart craves the warm touch
After the pain you think I’d stray away from such
Smooth skin touches her body
It’s more intimate past being naughty
It’s hearing you breathe when I come close
A million beats per minute intensity at its most
The stutter of speech when you look into my eyes
The lip lock the tongue tied
Looking through the vessel of these tears I cry
Hate in my heart but love had an alibi

Lenora Sep 2023
At least this feeling comes with acceptance
Newness
No longer remaining in the safe zone of what I know
Of what is familiar
Stepping in the open
Knowing it could be a better way to explain my motion
It could be intertwined with a deeper devotion
Simply put it could be better
More pure
Not constricted by the bind of needing to rhyme
guided by my most honest being
As if each word is slowly freeing me

Geminate
Lenora Aug 2022
to make or become doubled or paired.

Stuck between wanting you bad like novacane
And hating you as if all the memories and emotions have drained
The con to being a Gemini
Is eyes see through different sides
One where I accept my faults and flaws
One where I think you couldn’t handle it all
I just wanna know why
When you said you needed a friend but still wanted to be there for each other why
I try even though you said you couldn’t show intimacy why
For you to return with another
dragging my heart from the gutter
why .
It’s the only question that comes during my  eternal sigh
All the times I wanted to talk
All the times my mind wrapped around you ready to stalk
All the times I only wanted to hear your voice
To end up spinning your block a few times with the feeling of no choice
In the business of finding the answers to all my outmoded faceless questions
And looking back on how I wished you wouldn’t turn out to be a lesson
Other than interrogating why you didn’t stay
My mind focuses not the one that got away
But the new member whose come to play
You said I’d fall. You said if fall inlove.
I did and now I never wanna come out again my aura.. the wrong way it’s been rubbed
I didn’t even get to confess just how special you are and what it is that you meant to me
I just wish I knew it was all temporary for a moment you were renting me
Being a Gemini I find it very hard to make decisions like immensity hard because I never really feel certain or one way about things. Especially when I’ve had time to reflect. So you could say this is the mix of both sides collectively coming together because side 2 isn’t nice at all and really I’m ready to hit.

Days
Lenora Sep 2023
If I could permanently end my tears I would
The way I wear my heart openly but my words like solid wood
Tough but breakable
Everything I’m saying Mistaken for
Love making me feel poor
Lessening my value
When all I can do is think about you

Only waking up early now to cry in peace

And now my tears are dried
And I feel nothing
My heart and my mind becoming completely blank

No control
Lenora May 2021
And since we want to play the blame game
Call my name
For the girl I fell for but couldn’t stay the same
I know she hates me
The thought alone leaves me shaky
To be transparent it breaks me
To know I’ll never land safely

How could I face you , you’d never understand
That when I look at you I can’t let go but the friendship dangles in the other hand

You call me a coward you see me as fraud
For me not crying over you my friends see and applaud
But I know my silence from you was met with a disappointed nod

The many times you reached out
The times I knew the answer but the words couldn’t leave my mouth
The times I hesitated cause I knew the conversation would go south

Or maybe I was afraid
Cause between your words and actions a decision couldn’t be made

If only you knew the nights I cried
And I seen you in my dreams and asked god why

The Torment in my mind
Wishing I never seen you cause it only led to a ticking bomb of time

Questioning if I should reach out
But knowing it’s too late cause she has to hate me now

I still love you couldn’t hate you if I tried
And through everything you did I still see myself as the bad guy

I can’t let you go
I keep loosing control
I reach out, erase the message more times than you’ll even know
I can’t muster up the courage to tell myself no

What you did do
What you didn’t do
Wishing I could’ve been open enough to tell you
Cause now everything I hear, see, smell is blue
And this sadness was never new
But it was my first time feeling it about you

I should’ve kept my mouth closed knowing it would crash in the end
Not only did I break my own heart but I lost you as a friend

Maybe now I can let it go .. but it depends

Memory to present
Lenora Dec 2022
I’m content until life unveils a memory
My life at times seems tragic but you you may never pity me
A pretty face which hides so much pain
Fire falls down and sprinkles on my life like rain
But I don’t get a cooling sensation it’s more like acid
I feel like plastic

My pain may never dissolve or decompose

I spend days lost in a type of love
The type that feels like spreading wings on a white dove
I go back and forth with it because I’m starting to get too comfortable
And I know it’s real cause I wanna *** for you
Off rip I developed a type of trust
Even though my intimacy goes through the stages of rust
I’ll always think of if I’ll have the strength to speak up
But if I ever want to move I’ll have to place your feelings in the place of luck
As of now it’s the only thing keeping me from being stuck
Cause only if you knew I needed someone to care
But we’ll see cause I throw my emotions up into thin air

Writing on paper something to readjust to
It’s been so long my hands treat it as new
I’ve been trapped behind a screen for years
Writing things people didn’t realize that I made it through with tears
Sometimes I believe it’s easier to just forget
I try to forgive but most times I force it

"Friends"
Lenora May 2021
It comes down to keeping a grip on my reality
Every turn and milestone I think I achieve is met with fatality
The love I yearn to receive is nothing but deceit
To end up being the bad guy cause when I figure it out I retreat
I’m at my wits end meeting my defeat
Because to have genuine love with me is like a 4 way street
“Friends” that use me to get to another
Break me down then still want to call me brother
won’t speak to my face but to everyone else they smother
The lies in their face to try to categorize me as the “other”
The exact reason I say I don’t trust
I still open up to you when it’s my words you flush
You show me day to day your goal is only to divide
When I thought I had a friend I could share the truth with on the inside
It’s hard to let go when friends are thicker than family
But how can I hold on when you can’t even stand with me
Now nothings the same
And I’m starting to look at all my friends with shame
I’m nothing but open but can I be the one to blame ?

Time.. again
Lenora Apr 2022
The time for me
Its been like a pain I can’t describe
A pain I can’t hide
Regardless of the countess times I’ve tried
Normally I can hold it together
In my bootle of agony
The bottle that’s draggin me
No over flowing oceans
In the seas of my dreadful emotions
But this toast is a cheers to me
In a pretty clear blue liquid that covers my eyes to see
My heart weeps from betrayal
My mind runs like a ticking time bomb from hell
Asking myself how could you be so needy
When my mind was destroyed and your emotions were so greedy

Drop
Lenora Dec 2022
I guess I’m not equipped for the tale of romance
Love for me is entangled with the first touch and the last dance
It seems befitting but only in the beginning
Because we know the outcomes are never faced with winning
It’s cruel to know you’ll never know how I feel
And how once upon a time I was ready to give something real
All the thoughts and written gestures with only the understanding of you in mind
If only you wanted to know and reached for this stash of mine
The one of a kind
Hide and find
To read and watch how water turned to wine
Slowly to mend my heart and create this aching bind
All the words that flow from my lips
From my finger tips
Every focus of you till the page rips
And I realize it’s here the moment we’ve waited for the big dip..
I hate that you’ll never know
Maybe cause I’m shy or maybe my pride makes me never show
So many pages dedicated to you
Dedicated to the truth I see in you
Little notes I take to learn you as a person
As they sit in the contact notes hurtin
Because I know for certain
Using all I have will only cause burden
I guess I can stay with out you knowing my emotions
If I can go on harboring my hearts truest devotions
So many unsaid feelings..
I just wanna know how you’re feeling

Feel like I don’t even know you
Like the other people that know you
Feel like we wasn’t as close
I wanted you the most
I did everything for you to like me
Change everything like this might be
It...
My clothes
My hair
My heart
For you
what did you do
You let another ***** break your heart
Knowing I’ll go to war on your part
Got me out here doing **** that ain’t smart
And in the end all it did was tear me apart
I can’t even look at you the same
Let alone say your name
Something snapped in my brain
I should’ve kept it inside now everything’s changed

Lenora Aug 2023
On soul I won’t ever give another person my heart..
I no longer have the capacity to love
I’ll no longer reach out for answers
Or try to give us closure
I won’t think about you or how you feel when I begin to detach
I won’t wonder how you think or if you truly want to let go
I’m going to just let you go
I love you so much that if I could see or hear you in this moment I’d melt in your hands
But the distance the silence all the unspoken things festers hate in my heart
Hate that I couldn’t ever hold on to
Which causes trauma because no matter how much you hurt me I want you around
I want to hold you and kiss you
Within all these emotions I feel like they’re not reciprocated
You don’t want me the way i want you
The hardest pill I’ve ever had to swallow
Is the fact my favorite person is no longer my favorite person
It hurts to not view you like I once did
It hurts to feel like you don’t care..
It hurts to feel like none of it was ever real
My pain means absolutely nothing to you
As you took every piece of me I had to offer and stomped it down to dirt
I just can’t hold it in.. and the bits and pieces don’t even amount to all I’m feeling.. guess we gotta start somewhere

Maybe I need to scream
Then maybe they’d see I’m on the dying team
Most days Im feeling like dying
One step closer to be pushed back 10 in my trying
Why I try to use others to cope with my pain
Knowing its only me who sits in this rain
Making my voice as small as a grain
And how I repeat the thoughts that break me in my brain
I get upset when others can’t bring me out my own demise
I hate myself when even I can’t believe my own disguise
Im not sure what to write
Im blinded by the inflictions of others emotions damaging my sight

Fear of everything
Fear of nothing
To say I’m on the fence I’d be bluffing
Maybe I should let it go entirely in its fullness
And not have a type to rule with
I wanna break down and cry
If I tried to express it to someone they’d look at me in confusion and wonder why
People see my emotions
Cause I wear them on a sleeve
And one gaze of my eyes makes the notion simple to receive
I hate my self sabotage
No matter how I go about it with my old tactics I try to dodge
It’s so hard to let anyone in
To let anyone know
And the reason I am the way I am now
Cause I never open up which leaves no room to grow
I scared to take next steps but I don’t know how to say
I’m scared to show affection besides just saying I care only to end up feeling a way
I’m terrified to let someone love me let alone like me
I’ll always find a way to **** yo the situation
And then end up with feelings of invalidation
Praying no one walks in to catch me with my head down
And my eyes low which to others is worst than I frown
I wish I brought my sidekick the ones who never let me down
The perks the Xans the oxys the drift me to a place of no sound
No frown
No fervor on the ground
If you could hear a heart break
How loud would you have ached
How SHOOKEn would the surrounding party be out of their state
How would I soothe knowing it’s too late
I’m sick
but you know you knew
The things you think are only in your head
Do become true
As if you could ever be that important
A untypical mess is your assortment
You never give anyone the space you see you any more than difficult
Love to you the creature is mythical

What are you sorry for
Why do you apologize
It’s not like you’ll see me cry
Just the disconnected look in my eyes
Open for all to get it off your chest
In which you’ll never understand my distress
It takes so long to let go what I feel for a person
The more I see you or the more I go without it tends to worsen
Of how I see you and cherish the moment
And think of the moment as if I could own it
Of me being open to you
Of me being vulnerable instead of blue
Of all the time I wish we could spend
But it’s my fault this is in the state it’s in

Here we go again
A cycle that at this point has to be a type of emotional sin
As my sub conscious can’t seem to let go
This the part right here we hate the most
As we say different person same reaction
It hits the most when in the stage of retraction
Myself to blame can’t I control my actions

Self sabotage
In each situation no matter how I dodge
With the invalidation of my feelings
And no one knowing truly how I’m dealing
Because I can’t articulate my words
And speak them in ways that can be simply heard
All I can do is harbor on them
And bring them to the brim
Of what it’s intended to mean
It’s not what it seems
On the fence off the fence
Sometimes in between
I want you but certain things turn me away
Certain things that bring my past at bay
It’s impossible for you to look at me separate from body
And to be in my chest everyone looks at me oddly
But no one understands
And I want you to understand
No one just wants me learn me a person
And the more I try to explain the more the words worsen
Because I know that not the case
Always think of the things you say
The good the bad and how I over think them anyway

I wake up sad I wake up thinking of you and you wake up fine.. with her .  It’s not fair because if you could feel the love I have for you.. would you remember how it felt when we first met when we first started spending time together when we shared our feelings and couldn’t keep our hands off each other.. IG my shyness my pride never let me tell you I did love you but it’s too late now. My heart broke & I cried when they told me about her. She’s so lucky…. I just didn’t think I’d be so easy to move past .

You know I could never hate you

I wonder if you knew the way I spoke about you, knew how I felt about you, and the way my mind goes at the thought of you would anything change

My chest filled with the feeling of anxiety
The best way I can explain is a lightening strike with my heart fighting me..
atleast I know who her is
Knowing wasn’t worth it
It’s hurting
Thinking ok I wasn’t worth it
I can never tell you how it was and how I felt nomore
She’s in the air I want want she has more than anything in my core
How could you move so quickly
I see now how easy it was to forget me
Does she laugh like I do
Talk like I do
Listen to every detail that comes from you
How you talk about your passions
And how you wanna take action
With your life
Am I right ?
Does she think your so amazing
When your down still see your sparkle that I’m praising
Baby
And when you don’t see what I see
Does she pull a me ?
Cause every goal you had yk I believed baby
What she got that I don’t have
The thoughts I have only wanna take you back
She could never be me
Or even half of me..

Is she pretty ?
What am I in comparison
Does she get it
Should I think this far I know rn what’s done is done

I’ll never
Could I ever ?
Not meant to last together
No forevers
Could ever
Get you back

Everything inside me feels like it’s swollen. If I could paint a picture, my body would be presented as a hollow shell. Only for it to not be hollow.. but filled with swelled emotions, swelled veins, swelled brain, swelled heart, swelled lungs, all pressing against one another squeezing and creating immense pressure becoming more and more intense with each conversation and each go through. Im back to constantly beating myself up again, feeling everything I’ve been trying to let go of. I hate the sign of the twin, I hate the indecisive, I hate the two sets of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and decisions. A side of me feels like everything everyone says about me is true a list is as follows: I can’t get right, I’m childish, I’m too emotional, I’m too soft, too sensitive, I lost myself, I lost my light, I’m dulling out, I wear my heart on my sleeve, I blow in the wind, I never care, I’m lazy, I’m not dependable, I’m not there, I’m emotionally unavailable, I’m an ***, I’m too rough, too aggressive, too submissive, too dominant, too one way too the other, too withdrawn, too quite, too isolated, too not in control. A list of my flaws.. a plethora of things that float around in my head flying from side to side, bouncing off the walls cracking the cranium of my skull slowly feeling it fracture with each tap, slowly oozing out the deepest darkest things that not only I feel but think about. The seemingly identical twins but immensely different, only narrowly scraping the walls of agreement.

I’m so deep down in my thoughts I can’t even write out my equaling entity because as of this moment she isn’t present. She’s locked in her switch chamber full of stairs white noise and a single chair with rubble all around from the deterioration in the shared mind.

The explanation is as follows :
I’m Inside my head or body
The Staircase of deteriorating mental anguish leading up to all areas of the mind
The temporal lobe .. frontal lobe.. parietal lobe.. occipital lobe.. cerebellum.. falling into my brain stem where the center will cradle the space of a single chair
One sits in the lair
While one rules the flesh

In the frame, the one will sit somewhere on the stairs because neither is content in that space
Neither could sit still in a chair surrounded by white noise.. or crippling expressions
She sits on the steps with her hands balled over her head in a fetal crouch as the ruble bounces off her body as if she’s ready for the whole surrounding area to collapse on top of her

While the other feels the pressure building up to the point of self-combustion

The two are seemingly different but feel most of the same things due to shared soreness
I’m truly trying my hardest at this point .

I guess I’m not equipped for the tale of romance
Love for me is entangled with the first touch and the last dance
It seems befitting but only in the beginning
Because we know the outcomes are never faced with winning
It’s cruel to know you’ll never know how I feel
And how once upon a time I was ready to give something real
All the thoughts and written gestures with only the understanding of you in mind
If only you wanted to know and reached for this stash of mine
The one of a kind
Hide and find
To read and watch how water turned to wine
Slowly to mend my heart and create this aching bind
All the words that flow from my lips
From my finger tips
Every focus of you till the page rips
And I realize it’s here the moment we’ve waited for the big dip..
I hate that you’ll never know
Maybe cause I’m shy or maybe my pride makes me never show
So many pages dedicated to you
Dedicated to the truth I see in you
Little notes I take to learn you as a person
As they sit in the contact notes hurtin
Because I know for certain
Using all I have will only cause burden
I guess I can stay with out you knowing my emotions
If I can go on harboring my hearts truest devotions
So many unsaid feelings..
I just wanna know how you’re feeling

I’ll never show it to you personally but remember what lies in this vessel
The tears of an aura made in constant heckles

The wells behind my eyelids can no longer contain
What they always attempt to maintain
The failing membrane
Who’s only connect is the end game

Now passing by makes me. Feel shame
I Relive trauma in an area. I feel insane

As I lay all I can think about is the act of disappearance
As my tears blur my vision and give me no clearance
See I got lost
But Mostly in my thoughts
Because the endurance of bartering the validation of my emotions has a cost

And with that many things changed
Soon they’ll be a shift when somebody calls my name
Because I can’t answer the same
and anger builds up until we burn in pouring rain

Lately it’s been effortless to cry
My emotions connect quickly as if satly tears were identical to the blue sky
It's also been easier to speak my mind
But sometimes my sight goes blind
And I look back the situations on high
But to be talked to in a way where I feel disrepected I cannot comply

In true I don't appreciate the way people treat me
Forever blissful days until you beat me
Where I felt uneasy
And you treated me like I can't get sleezy

and I'll never hold bad blood again
But after all I've done how could you treat me so poorly then

It always ends up being the ones closest to you
With pain.. When it comes to this ill act like I never knew you


Pt.2

Remember I said it’s hard to show it to you personally if I share all that lies in this vessel..

The reason I retreat
That often looks like defeat
And my plummeting confidence that glued my eyes to the floor like feet

There’s so much I could say to you that would ease any suspicion
The reason I move how I do travels back to being Christian
If I was in a space to show you Lenora I would
Given that’s the entity you want to know and I want you I should
Every moment I think to touch you
And you run through my mind crashing like boulders once sudle
If you had a sneak peek at how I live
When you ask not for dominance but to be assertive
My *** drive all time high
And I only want to look into your eyes
But it seems I’ve been terrified to touch
I know that it deals with my past traumas and such
All the time I want it
Even though it’s not the persona that flaunts it

Most times I sit in silence not because I have nothing to say
But because I spend hella time in my brain
I have so many responses
And many different voices in my conscious
But it’s almost as if I’ve been trained to be silent
And to unlock a true voice you must find it

My mind stumbles around the end game
As if I pass the talking stage
And never make it to a hall of fame
When they claim im some sort of a trophy
But I retreat because people make me feel like there only trying to rope me
in…

Take the risk or lose the chance
Going for what I want I’m not too advanced
Day to day I try to boost my confidence
But I just find myself floating in and out of consciousness
As One minute I want to be alone
And The next I want to express all the love that Hasn’t been shown
But Imma *******
You don’t have to tell me it’s embedded deep down in my soul
Ill tell you I’m here
The next day I’ll disappear
I am a broken individual yes I know
But love heals all wounds if you didn’t know
I have so much love for myself
But if I could just share it with someone else
Someone who won’t smother me when I’m low
Someone who actually understands me and doesn’t put on a show
Cause then I’ll turn into a ****
And now you yelling I ain ****
When I told you from the start
I will tear your heart apart
You moved this way too fast
Now you see it didn’t last
Had to leave you in my past
My love life is trash
Now don’t text or call my phone
Imma end up leaving you alone
These are just some feelings off the dome
To tell you I’m not made a stone
I’ve never been one to openly express my emotions towards an individual but when my heart can no longer contain all the inexplainable things it feels my actions are no longer in control by my mind. But since expression and commitment seem impossible to grasp, I always lose in the end. And I yearn for someone to know what to do instead of leaving but I’m even unsure what one has to do to keep me from falling into myself. I accept my faults because I know my self sabotaging ways when it comes to love.. I’m not as bad as I let on life just continues to change me and I keep losing people who become important to me. Losing your best friend and a bright aura of love.. I feel like a ****** loser and I bet you feel like you’re inlove.

When I tell you I feel so excluded
Always looked at from the inside
When I’m looking in on the outside
Are you ******* happy now
Expect cooperation with out even a sound
When you feel the need to be controlling
If only you knew but I don’t think you care about the rolling
Tears from my eyes
Poetry hasn’t come out for a long time lost between the lines
If only I could rewind
All the moments
You made me feel like ****
And I will never feel like your equivalent
If I could say I don’t hate you a little bit id lie
You can’t look me in my eye
Why
Do you feel the need to treat me like a child
Like my mind is mild
Treat my words like they are idle
When you are constantly unaware of the trials
Maybe I don’t tell you cause you don’t see my pain
Each thing I feel you think of it in vein
Lack of substance or worth that’s how you feel
Most times more than I like.. cannot heal
i don’t gaf how she feels I heard what you said
Those words loud and clear repeat through my head
I pray  against the spirt of not feeling good enough
When its you most days who make me feel rough
You shush my words then say I feel invisible
Then you turn around and act so insensible
Unaware of the things you do but I don’t speak
For a long time thought it cause I was weak
But maybe its because I can hold on and make it seem so calm
When I can Chanel everything in the mist of palms
I love and I hate
What to do at this rate
You wonder why I don’t speak when I feel like the main ones don’t listen
I silence  you all wonder why while in inner spirts are hissin
Louder and louder
I hate my encounters…

I hate it all . . .

I now relate my sorrows to intense flames
they were once so chilling, numbing me till I forgot my true name
It was like walking through a blizzard
Knowing your body would collapse down in your shivers
Remember, that was when everyone around felt like a snake that slivers
And the wells of my eyes no longer ushered rivers
A time where each step felt like a million miles
And everyone said the destination would end in smiles
They lied.. they lied
I sat in my tears and constant sighs
Forever questioning why
Like I was abandoned by the father in they sky
Because they said it would always get better
But instead of the cold, I now feel the rise of liquid making my body wetter and wetter
Everything festered
Bottling my emotions I thought to be clever
But now all I see is a wide deep dark ocean
Normally blue but tinted with my emotions
My deepest devotions
And seem to follow the same process of erosion
Picked up by the wind and water
The materials within worn away leaving a shell of a daughter
Walking through the sea
And no one could see me
The last glimpse of strength dropped me below where once stood my feet
Have I reached defeat ?
Grasping the water all around
Gasping until I no longer make a sound
My inner me drowning
My outter me profoundly
Intrigued in how I could live the way I feel
Knowing it’s no way to live in death even though the feeling is very real
Now everything relates to flame
An intense inferno that will soon drive you insane
Because fire can be defined in many ways
Determination, confidence, sorrow, self worth it could change any day

Endless days of heat enveloped the house, trapping the inhabitants inside.
As if you were ignorant to the fact that flames only grow not subside
Endless days of heat
Flames that once consisted of a sweet treat
But evolve into an intense scorch where my being meets
Within this tragedy where does one retreat

Fire and ice
In my reactions what could be considered wrong or right
The coldness of going numb
The feeling of nothing as I touch my fingers to my thumb
I never thought this feeling could be topped
Until finally, the chill stopped
