Tomorrow is Today
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Don't promise me forever,
Who knows what dawn will bring,
Just promise me this moment,
For unknown are the tales the future sings,

We will take the days as they come,
And forever may come true,
But days ahead are uncertain,
So I live in the moment next to you.

Please Wait
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Please wait for me,
I'm trying to catch up,
Trying to regain my breath,
I will stand beside you eventually,
Please wait for that day,
Please don't go on,
I want to make it to you,
I want to meet you,
I am doing my best to make it,
Plase don't forget about me,
Please don't walk too quickly,
I've fallen,
Please, please wait,
I'll make it eventually,
I hope with all my heart you'll be waiting.

Lawsuit
Lost Poet Apr 2016
The judge and the lawyer,
They are both me,
I defend myself,
As I condemn myself,
I am witness,
I am the murderer,
I am the defender,
I am the guilty,
Death penalty,
Or walking free,
The decison is,
Completely up to me.

Up to Me
Lost Poet Apr 2016
The yelling, screaming, shouting,
In my head,
I can't focus on anything,
I have to remind myself to breathe,
I have to convince myself to breathe,
I have to tell myself I want to go on,
But it all depends on me,
It's all up to me,
No one else can save me,
No one else can lift me from this vacuum,
But how can you save someone you hate?

Don't Forget It
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Just because I don't cut,
Doesn't mean I'm not suicidal,

Just because my blodd doesn't run red,
Doesn't mean I wake up breathing,

Just because the skies are clear,
Doesn't mean rain can't be just around the corner.

Ghosts
Lost Poet May 2016
In this storm I can't seem to see you,
I can't feel your presence,
Only cold rain and clouds,
I can see the breath of ghosts,
Maybe that's what you've become....

Pity Pills
Lost Poet Apr 2017
Do you ever feel stuck,
Pulling and stretching,
Just to get out of your skin?

People see and smile,
Their stupid pity glow,
Expecting it to fix it all.

So you just scream it off,
Until the blood pours,
And police coming running.

With their sympathy and happy pills.

I don't know
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Why?
Why the **** me?
Haven't you seen the scars?
Haven't you heard the hate?
Haven't you felt the pain?
Why the **** me?
Why?

Inside
Lost Poet Apr 2016
I don't even fit in,
With the people I love,
anymore,

I am an outsider,
With my family,
my friends,

No longer a part,
Of what this world,
requires,

I do not know what,
To say, to do, or even,
How to act,

I am the outsider,
In a land full of,
Insiders.

I Am So Sorry
Lost Poet Jul 2016
I push you away,
But I want you to chase me,

I close my heart,
But I want you to keep asking,

I say no words,
But I want you to understand,

I know,
I'm a *****.

Don't Go
Lost Poet Sep 2016
Who will hug your brother,
Who will walk the dog,
Who will help your mother,
And talk all night long,

Who will your best friend call,
When she's feeling down,
Who will be there for them,
If you let yoursef drown.
Lost Poet Oct 2016
And now in the dead of night,
Closing our eyes is useless,
For when our eyelids go down,
The sun shines behind them,
Blinding our minds.

Better
Lost Poet May 2016
Let me kiss your scars,
Let me make them better,
Let me love away the pain,
Let me hold you together,
I don't care if it breaks me anymore,
All I want is for you to be okay.

Unfilled
Lost Poet May 2017
Such a disgusting monster,
Too this, too that,
Gorging itself only to regret it,
Killing in order to live,
Maybe I should break the mirror,
So I don't have to see the beast anymore.

Jokester
Lost Poet Apr 2017
When the joker comes out to play,
Do we not laugh with the crowds?

And when the clown is on the walkway,
Does joy not fly among the clouds?

It will rain on us on our days too dry,
When the hum of people runs out,

When we hear the sound of the battlecry,
We call our jokesters from his hideout.

Lines
Lost Poet Aug 2016
Words are like lines,
You can mold them,
You can draw them,
Pictures are formed,
Colors bleed through,
They are mine alone,
No one else has the lines,
Inside my mind,
Only I can twist them,
To carve my pictures,
And so I paint them,
Everywhere I step.

Right Place, Wrong Time
Lost Poet Aug 2016
A raindrop fell to the ground,
It fell and shattered,
Years later a flower bloomed,
Right in the spot,
That the raindrop had fallen,
A long time ago.

Slow Death
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Letting you go,
Was like ripping out,
A piece of myself,
And then watching,
As I bled to death,
Wishing it was still there,
But knowing it could never be.

I can't just "get over it"
Lost Poet Aug 2016
Just because you can't see your killer,
Doesn't mean they're not stabbing you,
Through the heart and head.

It's Coming
Lost Poet Sep 2016
When the sun shines everyday,
And the trees are glorious greens,
When the flowers are blooming,
And the birds sing every morning,

You know a thunderstorm is gonna hit.

Tattle Tale
Lost Poet Mar 2017
Tumble weeds and mistaken deeds,
Questions left unanswered,

From 'goodbye's to 'please don't lie's,
Pain completely transfered.

Shit
Lost Poet Jan 2017
Sometimes I don't wipe away the tears,
Because I don't want it to be over yet,
While I feel the pain I think maybe I can change it,
But once the numbness settles in, I'm doomed.

Even though it hurts
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Try, try, try again,
Try as hard as you can,
But eventually,
It is just too much,

You have just got to,
Let go of it all,
So that you,
Can breathe again.

Let Go in order to Hold On
Lost Poet Apr 2016
You broke my heart,
By thinking you could fix it,
But guess what,
You never could and never can,
So instead I fixed the holes,
In your bleeding heart,
With the pieces from my shattered one,
It didn't fit perfectly, of course,
But it helped stop the bleeding,
The only problem was,
The fixes were supposed to be temporary,
I need the pieces back,
You may not keep them,
Or I will bleed to death.

Keep Going
Lost Poet Jun 2016
We have lost yet,
So why are you giving up?

Self Harm
Lost Poet Jul 2016
"She just does it for attention."
"He doesn't have scars on his wrists, he doesn't cut."
"It's all made up in your head"
"But your life is so perfect."
"You are beautiful, you should stop."
"You're not ugly!"
"I don't want to deal with your problems."


"I'm worthless and ugly."
"I feel so numb and need to feel pain."
"I deserve this."
"No one will notice anyway."
"They probably just think I want attention."
"They won't understand."
"I am alone."
There could be so many more...

Thinking Gets You Nowhere
Lost Poet May 2016
I thought I let it go,
But it still clings to me,

I thought it was gone,
But it keeps reappearing,

I thought I could breathe,
But the wave crashes over,

I thought I could fly,
But the wind knocked me down,

I thought,
But I thought wrong.
306 · Jun 2016
It's Still Right
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Of course you're shaking,
Of course you can't breathe,
Because guess what?
Love hurts like hell.

Needed
Lost Poet May 2016
Everyday I must heal you,
I can not live while you hurt,
Healing you is what I must do,
Why else would I continue,
There is no other reason,
For me to keep on living this tedious life,
So I will fix you,
I will try to fix myself,
But maybe someday you will be whole,
You will smile and be okay,
And will you still want me around,
Will you still need me,
And what will I do,
When you don't need me anymore?

Would I just dissapear,
Cease existing,
Living this cruel life,
Would I finally let go,
Or would I find another to fix,
While you live wholly,
Because I could never help,
Someone who lives,
So I will dissapear,
And leave them to lead happy lives,
After all,
They are much better off without me,
Trying to fix the things I broke.

There's Been A Death
Lost Poet Jun 2016
So she was torn,
Because her love got the best of her,
Her heart was her murderer,
Her head was the accomplice.

Go
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Go
I just want to let go,
WHY CAN'T I JUST GO?!?!
i can't do that to them...
that's why...
Why did this ever have to happen?
Why can't I just dissapear and leave nothing behind,
Not to be missed,
Not to be remembered,
Just to vanish,
No evidence that I ever existed.

I Hate Me
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Is it really so easy,
For you to hate me?

Why do you want me gone,
What have I done wrong?

Why does this hurt like hell,
Is that something you can tell?

Because if I hate you,
And you hate me,
What does it hurt so bad?
I can't even write good poetry anymore. My brain's ****** up.
293 · May 2017
Sing To Me
Lost Poet May 2017
Musical notes drifting to my brain,
Sedative for my overthinking,
When there's no one left to blame,
Into the music I start sinking,

Voices of song to overpower,
The ones screaming inside,
Tunes continue to play as I cower,
Listening wide-eyed.
289 · Apr 2017
Better
Lost Poet Apr 2017
People always say things get better,
And they often do,
But that doesn't mean **** to the person listening,
cuz they still gotta make it through.
Always here to chat if you need to vent.

Why Not

It would be so easy,
So simple,
No one would notice,
Until it was too late,
So what's stopping me...

I Smile Anyway
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Lethargy,
Seeps into my bones,
A cold chill,
Covering everything I know,
I can't concentrate,
My mind refuses to operate,
I'm so tired,
But my thoughts won't let me sleep at night,

And I am here,
Huddling in the dark corner,
Sobbing; trying to find my way.
278 · May 2016
Unaware
Lost Poet May 2016
I don't know what's broken anymore,
I don't know what has been fixed,
Or what still needs to be mended,
I am unaware of what is left,
To make better.

I don't know what's healed here,
I don't know what is still bleeding,
Or what has been cut open again,
I am oblivious to the change,
That has happened.
277 · Jun 2016
Maybe
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Well maybe I wasn't meant to live,
Maybe I was born to bleed,
Maybe the only reason I breathe,
Is so that I can have my breath stolen.

Give Me a Good Reason
Lost Poet Jun 2016
I know I shouldn't,
But why should I not?

I know it's wrong,
But why is it wrong?

I know I'm bleeding,
But why should I stop?

Fuck
Lost Poet Jul 2016
I'm hurting,
Oh **** I'm dying,
And it's all my fault,
You said it would be okay,
You said I deserved to be happy,
But now that I've killed you,
Do you still think I do,
Or do you hate me,
The way I do,
Myself?
273 · Jun 2017

Who Decides the Answer?
Lost Poet Apr 2016
Am I still human,
If I can not feel,

Am I still human,
If I can't get out of bed in the mornings,

Am I still human,
If I have lost my ability to trust,

Am I still human,
If I can no longer love,

Am I?

Not a Poem
Lost Poet Jun 2016
Do you ever have those times where you don't hate yourself?
For a moment you look in the mirror and smile.
You don't despise the face looking back at you,
And you even wonder why you ever did,
But then you walk away from the mirror.

Five minutes later you come back to the mirror,
You look at the ******* in front of you,
And you even wonder why you ever thought you were pretty,
Why in the world you thought you were okay,
And then you walk away and leave blood on the tiles.
