Me
I run to the woods
Looking for my soul,
Trying to find a reason
to keep me in this world.
I searched for hope
I searched for love
But I only could find
Darkness and hurt.
At the end
When the sun has gone
I became stone
and nothing more.
So i threw it back up on them
All the expectations, accusations, imaginations, insinuations, detestations, frustrations that they forced down my neck
When I finally opened my mouth
I painted them with it

Late night texts
Sleepy eyes
Small smiles
Butterflies

Stolen moments
Held inside
Beating heart
Stupefied

~

Left alone
Tear filled eyes
Chapped lips
Scarred thighs

Empty promises
Cast aside
Broken heart
Terrified

~j.l.
there's a reason why its called a crush
keeper of my soul
Holder of my heart
Take my body
From this dark.
We are young
Without hope
But together
Maybe we can find
our way back home.
