Melting Storms
Rebel Heart Jul 2017
Raindrops crafted like

the color of my broken eyes...

The storm mirroring

the one raging within...

I find myself drowning again

From the inside out...

The scars I painted over

Reappearing on my cold skin
Hidden back in 2014 this poem really stuck out to me. The title, I believe, can be interpreted many different ways as the rest of the poem. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do..

My Name
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
These streets won't bear my name
For I wouldn't want them to
My name belongs in the endless sky
Engraved beside the thoughts of you

And the clouds will collect our story
That will ripple and fade with time
Ghosts of the past will gather together
To hear the last echos of our epic rhyme

The words will carry past over the seas
They will whisper in the sweet breeze
They'll rustle under the shade of the trees
They'll come back to bring lost souls their release

No the streets won't bear our names
For we were born to be free
Forever running, sailing, and flying away
To wherever it is we please
"If there's one thing that is immortal it's the words we release into the world.... And if there's one piece of wisdom I'd want to give to the world it'd be to keep adventuring, keep dreaming, keep daring, and stay forever free..."

Sweet Lies
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
Spare me your lies
They still sting
Dipped in sweet caramel
Because Darling,
There's no way to sugar-coat
The way you stole my heart
And crushed what was left of it
Right in front of my eyes
That moment
When it all
Came crashing down
That moment
When your sweet lips
Tasted hers.

Cursed Blue
Rebel Heart Jan 2018
I'm convinced blue is cursed
That same color reflected in your eyes
Blue lures me in and drowns me
It shatters what's left of my disguise
(The beginning to a long tribute to an old memory...Written 1/26-8/2010 by RH... Happy writing ~BM)
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
Our childhood was scarred by the efforts to erase it
Our memories mixed with emotions and bitter ghosts
Our time was limited since the moment of our first breath
Our future painted grey at most

We tried to break free of our chains
And the ugly demons holding us back
We tried to break free of these useless rhymes
But our destiny was doomed forever trapped

Life became nothing more than broken vignettes
Held together by seams of bitter hate
Whether it was reality or just an illusion
We wanted out of this dreadful fate

We'd die young and alone
Forever unwanted
We'd die with no tombstone
Forever haunted

But if you look closely
You'll see our tragic stories
drawn across our wrists

Lines jaggedly flowing
You ignored our suffering
But save the others
(With my last breath)
*I insist
To everyone who has suffered before or are still suffering please don't be afraid to reach out to talk, I'm here for you. Nevertheless, the struggling for some of us never stops but I'm glad there are those out there always willing to reach out and lend help when they can and for that you guys are truly wonderful people. The world could use more healers and lovers like you... ~BM

Remedy For The Heart
Rebel Heart Apr 2018
If only there was
A medicine
That could cure
A broken heart
...
For I would
Give away everything
Just to feel
Whole again
(A lyric wall quote because today of all days I wish I could take something to help with a broken heart.~BM)

Yours x
Rebel Heart Jul 2017
Burn your name onto my skin
For tonight I'm all yours
And when you leave in the morning
I want to carry you with me...
   A solemn reminder
            That not everything
                      You love
                             *Stays
The end to another long and simply beautiful poem by RH. It was listed under drafts from a file years ago so I didn't want to publish the full poem but couldn't resist to share this beautiful part of it with all of you.  ~BM

Overboard
Rebel Heart Sep 2017
I've been tossed overboard
By my own ship of life
Forgotten by the world
Drowning in my own pain
And the lost words I shout
Never to be heard...
I've slipped everyone's mind
Adrift alone at sea
No one seems to hear my cries
All I have left is me
But I'm getting tired of myself
And the demons
Constantly trying to drown me
....
What's the point anyway
In living life just to survive
When there's nothing
To survive for
I guess I might as well
Calm the seas
By giving in to the tides
And letting my body
Wash up on the *shore
Young RH was intense and these poems are more depressing that I remember but feel free to leave any critism in the comments ~BM

Invincible
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
Love me or hate me
One thing is clear
You'll never defeat me
I won't let you my dear
For we only are as breakable as we believe or at least let others believe...
Just some motivation for today :)

Fragile.
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
I am fragile.
So fragile
More fragile than already shattered glass
Held together by mere Elmer's glue.
Yet I'll keep pretending I'm okay
Like I never once had a scratch
When really I'm crumbling
Under the pressures of the universe
That my heart's not a part of.
Another snippet of the words floating around in the mystery music lyric wall and in the even more mysterious head of my dear friend RH... please don't hesitate to drop a comment below ~BM

Undressed.
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
Because underneath this thick armor
That I put on as skin
I'm nothing but starved bones
And a broken heart
Empty
for miles
And miles
And miles
Within
I found out Rebel Heart has a "lyric wall" and I read this particular snippet and realized I heard this original song of hers. Makes me wonder how many other original masterpieces she's been hiding. You can expect many more 'sneak peeks' of the lyrical poetry from this infamous wall though. I only wish I could hear the songs along with them ~BM

He Left...
Rebel Heart Oct 2017
She gave him her all
And, as the story goes,
He took her all and *left
Sometimes leaving is starting anew, but sometimes it's also burying the past and leaving them to suffocate in the mess left behind.

Whispering Sins
Rebel Heart Jul 2017
And I never dreamed of us together,
For fire and ice are always apart.
But you broke through all the barriers,
Defied the laws and stole my heart.

It seemed as though the galaxy aligned,
One breezy night
As the moonlight danced
Into the balcony
Blanketing the bedroom
Under the twinkling stars

As if a fantasy bled into the realm of reality
And the impossible bent the rules of fate.
As if time came to a rippling stop
And all the voices began to slowly fade...

Your eyes drowned out even the music,
Capturing me in enticing sins.
Your lips locked onto mine
In a desperate longing
Slowly mapping out every inch of my bare skin

And though my insecurities invaded my thoughts
Threatening to darken this one moment of complete light
Your whispering words anchored me to the now...

My demons constantly attacked my sanity
  "You're smart"
My skeletons gnawed away at dreams
  "You're talented"
My ghosts kept putting up walls around my heart
  "You're amazing"
My ugly scars screamed this was all a dream
  "You're beautiful"
Because how could something this amazing be real?
  "So beautiful"
How could someone like you love someone like me?
  "******* beautiful"
How can someone love these flaws flowing relentlessly within me?
  "I'm in love with you..."
How could these sins you whisper to me under the stars unravel the universe of emotions I've held inside me like this?
  "And you're mine"
          ..And I always will be..
I'm not really Rebel Heart. She's busy so I'm taking over her account for a while (one of the perks of being a writer's best friend). All that's published on this account will solely be her writing however. I was reading through some of her work and found this from years ago. I have to admit I didn't know what to expect but all her words seemed to be so captivating. Unfortunately she, for whatever reason, has yet to publish some of her best work (that's my opinion), and labeled most of them as unedited or "unpublishable" (I'm sure that isn't a word). Throughout the days I guess it'll be interesting to see some of the words she's left for the world to see as she, like most of us poets, keeps 90% of her words locked away even from me. Let's venture through the depths of her mind together ~BM

Lines Broken
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
Tell me
   When
       Did the lines
          Between
             My nightmares
                 And
                    This reality
                          Blur
                               And
                                   *Break

A Lonely Kind Of Alone
Rebel Heart Aug 2017
There's something about
Being Alone
That leaves me
A peace of mind

Yet

There's something about
Being Lonely
That leaves
My mind in *pieces
An excerpt from one of RH's unfinished memoirs of the same title. It was one of her projects I wish she would've completed for it was so heartbreaking but beautiful. This was one of my most favorite quotes from the book that I now share with you. Enjoy ~BM

In Your Love
Rebel Heart Sep 2017
What is it to breathe
If we're worlds apart

What is it to live
If not in your arms
Just a thought....
Another thought from the infamous wall of lyrics ~BM
