"Nothing's wrong"

Nothing except I'm a burden

"It's whatever"

It's driving me insane

"The new bracelets? I just like them"

They hide my paintings

"It's nothing"

It's everything and it's killing me

"It's just a scratch, forget it"

My paintbrush is a bit sharp

"It's barely bleeding"

Red's my favorite color

"I'm just a little tired"

I just want to go home and paint again

"Nothing a little sleep can't fix"

I always said I'd sleep when I'm dead anyway

"I love all of you guys"

I'm sorry...

"I'll be fine"

Once I finally finish my masterpiece

"See you tomorrow"*

But tomorrow won't ever come...
Not for me anyway
So soon the jagged strokes of her paintbrush overwhelmed the canvas on her wrist....

I'm choking
Drowning
Sinking in my own tears
That sting and fall
Down my face...
You may act like a stranger
Or worse, a friend
But my heart still remembers
All the love
All the pain

Your scent still lingers on me
Your touch a phantom on my skin
But my body stays stuck
Frozen in time
As I sense you near me once more

I thought I'd seen you for the last time
So I locked the bittersweet memories
Into a chest and buried it
Into the folds of time...
But one sight of you
And it all crashed open
You destroyed me before
But seeing you again
Shattered me.
The hardest thing is seeing someone you never wanted to see again and pretending it's all okay while breaking apart inside out

They're wrong about death
We shouldn't be afraid of it
Nor cry over it..
Especially when
Life is what gives us pain

...

*Death gives us an escape
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
You grabbed me so tight
As if you grabbed my soul
And suddenly I was alive
Dancing under your electric touch
Our hearts thumping to the bass
Of the rhythm of our bodies
Colliding and crashing
Intertwining
Under the light of the stars
Lost in the breathlessness
And your intoxicating scent
We came together as one
Just to fall apart
Over and over
And over again

She has tattoos covering her body
Blanketing miles of skin
Tattoos hidden from the world
Endless swirls of words within
Words anyone ever threw at her
A porcelain doll forever embedded with a cry
A cry for help that will never come
For the tattoos are hidden to the naked eye

No one else can see the stamps of hatred
Inked permanently beneath her skin
She just wants to run and hide them away
Bury them along with her demons of sin

Yet behind the blank stares they still whisper
Ambushing her with more tattoos

Fat
  Loner
      ******
          Ugly
            Worthless
She begs for it to stop before she goes insane
  Clingy
      ******
         ****
            Useless
Yet the words never stop inking her frame
   *****
      Failure
         Burden
           Disappointment
          

So to release some ink
She paints on her skin
With a paintbrush that stains red

Down her wrists
She writes some more
If only you could take back what you *said
They say the pen is mightier than the sword, guess words can **** them both

Ecstasy onto my own
For the night is all
Ours

And all I want
    Is to get            h

                  In your *love
Another snippet from the lyric wall, another song no one will hear

I don't remember
Your voice
As it mixed together with mine
Singing our favorite bands
Dancing on tables in time

I don't remember
The crazy times we had
Like jumping off cliffs
Then ending the day
At 2 in the morning
Driving with the windows down
Like the music video of
An old country love song

I don't remember
The feeling of
My head resting on your chest
When you pulled me so close
That we shared the same breath

I don't remember
Your scent
When we tangled ourselves
Between the sheets
Creating our own
Music to match
The bass of our heartbeats

I don't remember
The mold of your skin
Against mine
Or the
Exact color of your eyes
The exact shape of your lips
As you finally made me yours
Mapping out my skin
With your kiss

I don't remember any of it
My darling,
I barely remember you
But if you keep loving me
I promise I'll try to

Though
I'm not the same girl
I'm warning you
The girl you once loved
The one that you knew

I don't remember much
But I remember how
I want to be
Your forever
Again
For Forever
and Always


I just want to be with you
...
I don't remember much but I remember I still want you...
