I wished on 11:11 for you,
I prayed for you every night,
I lied awake,
Hoping (for my sake),
That you'd never want to part,
From me,
But now you have,
And I continue to wish,
On 11:11,
And pray to God,
For you.
But the prayer has changed,
It's that you'd return,
To me.
Wishing you'd come back,
Walk through my door,
Instead of not loving me anymore,
And I prayed it for months,
Till I realized,
That I don't really need you,
In my life.
So now I wish on 11:11,
And pray to God,
That you are happy,
And healthy,
And doing his will,
And instead of you,
My God shall fill,
My heart.

His lips on my lips,
And his hands on my hips,
I'd say it was wrong,
But it feels like it fits,
Like it's right,
It feels nice,
And I enjoy him so much.
And he'd be great as my friend,
But he's so perfect to touch.
And I want him,
I crave him,
I think he is fine.
I would tell him so,
But he's not even mine.
Same situation as Stolen Kisses.

What happened to,
"Instead I sit here,
Blushing bright red,
Letting sweet words,
Rush to my head"?
It dried.
It twisted and died,
And fell from the sky.
There are no sweet words,
When he can't meet your eyes,
And if he does,
You think you may cry,
Or throw up,
Or faint,
Because you're pushed to the brink,
And can't stand to think,
Of that thing.
The one who ruins 16 year old girls,
With promises of marriage,
And happiness,
And love,
Yet does not deliver,
Just tortures,
And twists,
Your mind to fit his,
And slowly warps your soul to his will,
And oh so surely takes morals away,
From even the most convicted ones.
That is what happened to me,
I no longer sit here,
Blushing bright red,
Now I sit in the corner,
Holding my head,
And rocking,
And crying,
And gasping for breath.
That is what happened to blushing bright red,
That's why sweet words don't rush to my head.
He's a pervert, a 27 year old pervert.

Here am I,
Lurking, waiting for you,
I see your face,
In every dream,
I almost love you,
Or so it seems.

I see you walk in,
And I take my chance,
I take you away,
So that we may dance,
I draw you in,
Among the stacks,
Take you so far,
that you won't come back.

With my temptress words,
I draw you in,
Because what I want,
Is lips on skin.
Slowly, sweetly,
You read me like a book,
And if you don't stop,
You'll be hooked.
Victoria Johnson Aug 2014
Twisted,
Falling,
I feel my wings crumple and fail,
I plummet slowly to the the earth.

My heart is,
Breaking,
I feel my hopes falling to pieces,
I will hit the ground too hard.

My mind is,
Fading,
I feel my safety ending,
The ground rises to meet me.

My vision's,
Failing,
I am blinded now,
For I have hit the ground.
Victoria Johnson Jul 2014
Your bright blue eyes gaze up at me,
and I can tell I'm all you see,
I just can't help but hold you close,
it's my maternal instinct,
I suppose.
Victoria Johnson Jul 2014
I just bared my heart to you,
With a twisting, wrenching feeling,
And I don't want you to know,
Your rejection would send me reeling.

But you surprised me,
In a sweet and heartfelt way,
And I feel so overwhelmed,
By the kind things you had to say.
I showed it because I cared, but honestly I was scared.
Victoria Johnson Jul 2014
I breathe in your scent,
Rich like freshly ground coffee,
And my skin against yours,
In a sweet embrace,
Of friendship turned more,
And my pale skin,
Against your darker tone.

We are what people want,
We are supposed perfection,
But what happens behind closed doors,
Is not what's expected.
One cares for the other,
And one cares for what's offered.

We dance a dance,
Where one is pleasing,
And one is pleased,
But neither one is satisfied.

The dance continues,
Where one is giving,
And one is taking,
And the giver is about to wither.

The dance will end,
When one is dying,
And can offer no more,
To the one who takes,
And when the dying one is empty,
The living one shall leave.

So tell me now,
Is this really what you want?
We may be beautiful,
But inside we're just as fake,
As those Styrofoam cakes,
You find on display,
Because that's what we are,
A display.
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
How you crave love,
That you would do,
Or say, or give away,
Everything,
And anything.

How you crave beauty,
That you would cut,
Or slice, or carve away,
Everything,
And anything.

How you crave perfection,
That you would mold,
Or change, or melt away,
Everything,
And anything.

How you crave skin,
That you would strip,
Or lose, or trade away,
Everything,
And anything.
A poem about females, and more directly, me.
Victoria Johnson Oct 2014
My eyes meet yours,
And the music in my mind,
Reaches its crescendo,
As I make my way towards you.

We danced all night,
With names unknown,
Just the pure bliss,
Of being in your arms.

I lost sight of you,
In the confusion of the night's end,
I know not your name,
Nor you, mine.

But the thoughts of me,
Folded in your arms,
Shall never leave me,
So remember me as I remember you.
"Remember Me," by Two Steps from Hell  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DWno4j7pSg is my inspiration for this, as well as what I'm going through.

I want the joy that would let me dance in the street,

The heart that would let me do so with no care,

The innocence that allows me undignified naivete,

The soul for worship without a second thought.

I long for the dance,

The beauty of worship before our Creator.
Because not all my stuff is morbid. This is how I feel. I want to worship with all my heart.
Victoria Johnson Apr 2014
You've broken my heart,

You've made me cry,

I should be bitter (Shouldn't I?)

But I'm still alive,

And I've realized,

You'll never be less,

In my eyes.



When you ask,

Why you're still alive,

I'll answer with,

"Because you shouldn't die"



You'll change your ways,

But not for long,

I'll ask you why,

and you'll ramble on,

about how you feel,

and with a tear in my eye,

I'll say,

"Enough! Please!

Don't make me cry!"



You'll try to change,

Yet once again,

But you'll grab that bin,

Wanting to be thin,

You'll cry out,

Ana wins.



I'll come back,

I won't give up hope,

I know somehow,

Maybe, you'll cope,

Maybe, someday, you'll make it through,

Because I can't, without you.



I know you still have it,

That urge,

To grab the blade,

I know it's a feeling,

You'll never evade.



But if I could tell you one thing,

Dear,

It would be,

Do not fear.

The Lord will help you,

And so will I,

So do not cry,

Dry your eyes.
This was written for my best friend, who is struggling with anorexia (Ana) and suicidal thoughts.

I flaunt my heart out on display,
Like a piece of fine jewelry,
Worn for all the world to see.

My heart is now worn on my sleeve,
No longer held close to my chest,
Kept far from the feelings I hold.

I now hold my heart at arm's length,
Seemingly held out for the taking,
But I just don't want it near me.

You take my cold heart from my hand,
And hold it gently in your hands,
Attempt to heal the past abuse to it.

My heart warms up so slowly to you,
Picking up speed as it's held close,
Till it's burning fire once again.

The heart begins to burn your hand,
And you won't stand the pain for me,
You let it go and run away from it.

I watch you run and watch my heart fall,
It hits the ground before you're gone,
It falters and stops, and yet you do not.

I bend down and pick up my heart,
Feeling it cool down in its death.
I replace it on my sleeve and forget.
A poem dedicated to the friend from stolen kisses.

You know I keep it caged,
Deep inside me.
I always did so well,
At keeping it quiet.
Nobody ever had to know,
About this monstrosity,
Right beneath the surface.

I keep my face straight.
Not a smile or a cry.
I'm constantly reminded,
To keep it well inside.
I always did so well too,
Till the night I lost control.

The monster from inside,
My own Pandora's box.
The monster's not inside,
Will never sleep again.
This monster on the inside,
Called emotion.
Victoria Johnson Nov 2014
I am afraid.
Of you,
Or more realistically,
Your power over me.
I am afraid of intimacy,
Well, I was,
Until you coerced me,
My first kiss,
Stolen from my lips.
The feeling of your fingertips,
Tracing my every curve,
Or lack thereof,
I was but a child you know.
Little by little,
My fears slipped away,
As you held me,
And told me you'd love me,
You'd marry me someday,
That I would always be safe.
Then you grew up.
I was afraid,
And now,
Now I am terrified.
Written for my first ex.
Victoria Johnson Apr 2014
The hope that flows within,

it is growing weak,

I feel the pain within,

It is all I seek.



The love that flowers inside,

The petals fall and die,

Instead a thornbush grows,

And I am pierced from the lies.



The heart that once beat strong,

Is dying softly down,

Its beat is strange and wrong,

and tortured is its song.
Victoria Johnson Nov 2014
I'm never sure I love you,
Until the moment I have to be without,
The moment you can't handle me.
The moment that I realize that what I did,
Is killing you.

Please know I love you,
Even in the moment I've gone without,
That moment you can no longer handle me,
That moment when you can't pretend that what I did,
Isn't killing you.

How could you care so much for me?
When I do this again and again?
When I've degraded myself to the point,
That I am nothing but garbage?

I love you,
And nothing I say is an excuse.
Nothing I say should be.
I care so much about you,
And I don't know how you could forgive me.
I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't.
I can't.

I can't forgive myself.
I led someone on without meaning to,
And I let what was precious to me,
Be stolen once again.

The burden on my shoulders,
Grows heavier with every step I take.
The knowledge that even you couldn't stay,
That you couldn't handle this,
That I love you.
I love you,
I love you,
I love you.
Please don't go.
Victoria Johnson Oct 2014
I let you know,
How I felt tonight,
And you had just 12 words for me.
"How you feel,
Won't stop me,
From being in love,
With her."
And I knew in that moment,
That I had made a mistake,
In loving you.

I should have never cared,
That was the promise we made,
In the beginning, at the start,
When all we were was two people.
With nobody here,
In between,
You and me,
Nothing but us,
Becoming one,
For no reason but loneliness,
And unfettered attraction.

I was warned of this happening,
Because you can't be so close,
Without somebody falling.
And the one who fell was me.
***** to love and be let down.
Victoria Johnson Nov 2014
What is it like?
That moment of freefall,
When you're the one who jumped?

Do you dread the end?
Have second thoughts?
Or are you just content?

Do you feel peace?
Or like you have wings?
Or has control been ripped away?

Suicide is not a beautiful thing,
But do you feel beautiful in that moment,
When it's just you, the air, and God?

Do you feel like an angel in that moment?
Or does the reality hit you too soon,
That the thing you did to gain control,
Is not in your control after all?

Because you are but a human,
Just one of many,
And entirely unique.

But one thing we have in common,
Or rather, don't have,
Is control.
Victoria Johnson Aug 2014
Is the glass half empty or half full?
Somebody asked me this once,
I turned to them and said,
"What does it matter when the water
that takes up half of the cup,
is *****, stagnant, bitter water?"
I looked through some old facebook messages, and I came across a conversation that went like this.
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
Hello, Old dear friend,
It has been so long.
I wish you could see,
Just how strong I've become,
Since you left,
Since you walked out the door,
Telling me,
You didn't want me anymore.
I wish I could show,
Just how much more I know,
Now that you're gone,
and left me alone.
I send you this letter,
Not to rub it in,
Just how much better,
I have been,
Without you,
And your lies.
Instead I am writing,
Just so you'll know,
I think of you every time that it snows,
And I look at the gift that I bought for you,
That I never delivered,
Though it's just what you'd choose,
Because I knew you so well,
And I even still do,
But I am gone now,
So it's too bad for you.
With love forever,
Your former treasure.
Written for my ex, letting him know I'm completing myself.
Victoria Johnson Aug 2014
You kissed me and didn't want to,
You're now crying on the phone,
If you're gonna marry your girlfriend,
Then leave other girls alone.
I don't want to ruin relationships,
You were just my best friend,
But the first time your lips met mine,
I think that came to an end.
Same as yesterday.... Again. Stolen kisses contains the backstory.
Victoria Johnson Nov 2014
So very cold,
All of the time.
I can't feel my hands,
But that's normal now.
I feel my bones crack,
As I try to move.
The ceaseless shivering,
Has become normal,
And ineffective.
My pale skin has a sheen of blue,
Marred by the line of red,
From my bleeding nose.
And with 3 pained breaths,
I fall to sleep,
And breath no more.
I am literally cold all the time. Even in the summer you won't find me without a blanket or something wrapped around me. I'm so pale, and I lose the feeling in my hands and feet more often than not. The closer to winter it gets, the harder it is to breath, and my nose has bled a few times. I wonder if you can get hypothermia from the inside out, and I'm frozen on the inside?
Victoria Johnson Oct 2014
I think of you, day in and day out.
I think of your face, your hands, your lips.
I crave you, day in and day out.
I crave your neck, your chest, your hips.
I want you, day in and day out.
I want your eyes, your ears, your kiss.
I miss you, day in and day out.
I miss your voice, your touch, oh what bliss.

Understand what I mean when I say this;
I think of you, day in and day out.
You are the thought I fall asleep to,
The thought that awakens me.
You are my hope when the phone rings,
And if it were you, I think I would sing.
And I write you this poem, like you love me,
But I'm so very sure the world can see,
Right through this.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
Beware of the fire.
It burns,
It ravages,
It kills.

Beware of the smoke.
It stings,
It suffocates,
It kills.

Beware of the water.
It drowns,
It pushes,
It kills.

Invite the fire.
It warms,
It brightens,
It brings life.

Invite the smoke.
It alerts,
It saves,
It brings life.

Invite the water.
It cools,
It quenches thirst,
It brings life.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
There once was a man named Lymerick,

And sadly he was very sick,

But he wanted a kiss,

Though his love was amiss,

so he stuck with kissing the broomstick!
I was at camp, and my friend bet me a can of mountain dew that I couldn't write a limerick about a limerick, so I did. I got my mountain dew. (I know it's not a good limerick, but I was 11...)
Victoria Johnson May 2014
Love is lost, but not forever,

Because when I feel alone and hurt,

I just remember our time together,

And my life I reassert.
My healing poem
Me
Victoria Johnson Jul 2014
Me
I do something strange,
If only for the attention,
Good or bad, it doesn't matter,
I just want to be noticed.

Shave half my head,
Just to draw eyes,
Tattoo my skin,
For a story to tell,
Walk with my chin up,
To make it look as though,
Maybe, I'm fine.

But being third has its perks,
Because nobody ever expects,
The shadow to fall away,
And reveal something so strong,
As dangerous as me,
As my unbridled flame.
Victoria Johnson Apr 2014
He did it, He's gone,

He left and moved on.

I wish he could see,

I am still able to be,

The one that he loves,

I can still rise above,

I can be his always,

I would forever stay,

Gently in his arms,

Doing him no harm,

I'm his now and forever,

Forever and always.



But no.

He does not want that,

He does not want me,

I'm so very scared,

That I will always be,

The one with no love,

Because nothing I do,

Will ever change,

How I feel about you,

How can I move on,

If you've done me no wrong?



But wait.

He has done me wrong,

I know that he has,

One day he loved me,

Hated me the same,

I had no clue what to do,

I was going insane.

He caressed me,

Then left me,

He left me in pain.



That.

That is what he did wrong,

And so I will become strong,

Stronger than he,

Ever knew I could be.



And so.

So he will wish that he could've seen,

all the things that we could've been,

The beauty I would have shared,

Because I would have cared,

To forever be his,

And him forever be mine,

Together forever

with our spirits entwined.



But no.

He's lost out on that chance,

I really don't care to dance that dance,

The dance full of pain,

And regret, and sorrow,

As I ponder if there will be a tomorrow,



For us.

As I wonder how I could hold on,

As I hold us together,

Praying I'll be strong,

It never worked, I never was,

It just looked like it all because,

I became, nothing but a shell,

And my life, a living hell.



It was.

Can't you see?

All that you did,

It all hurt me?

If only I hadn't been so blind,

To think you were so kind,

To believe that your heart,

Had no bad part,

To it.



I was.

It's not all your fault,

I was naive,

I was naive to believe,

That it could last,

I needed a lesson from the past,

Nobody stays,

Not even one,

Even if love has truly begun,



To sprout.

To grow like a flower,

Beauty with power,

Enough to change a heart of stone.



But remember.

Rain will strengthen a flower,

But a storm will destroy it,

It will wilt,

Falling back down,

Into the filth,

Where it began,

Never to be seen again.



And though.

It may blossom once again,

Remember it is not the same,

It is not the same flower,

And its scent may be sweeter,

Sweeter than the one before.
The goal of this was to have it end in hope, but still capture what I feel.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
I write about my pain and my sorrow,
and I try not to think,
about any bliss or happiness I may feel inside.

I fill myself with hate and despair,
I dwell upon the dark,
and not let any light shine in.

I do not let myself know love nor hope,
for I cannot let myself feel,
in this backwards, mirror world.
I dunno, watched Catching Fire again, and couldn't help but write dark things.
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
I will always remember,
The way you held me tight,
And wished to stay the night,
But.

I hated every moment,
That you thought about,
The girl you can't live without,
Love.
The man I wrote the last one about came and visited me on his birthday, this is all I could think.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
Is this what it feels like?

How it feels to move on?

I feel like I'm flying,

like this cannot be wrong.


If I fall in love,

Will it feel like betrayal?

My heart sings its song,

And it no longer feels frail.


And I've learned to give up,

On hating the world,

But I still hesitate,

To give it a whirl.


Instead I sit here,

Blushing bright red,

Letting sweet words,

Rush to my head.
Victoria Johnson Apr 2014
If Love shows itself through golden rings,

and if I love you, my heart will sing,

but if it doesn't,

then I do not,

and if I don't,

does Death come for me?

I hear Death swoops in on deep black wings,

and if I wish for the peace death brings,

will there be peace, or will it sting?
Victoria Johnson May 2014
I have a best friend, a sister really,

So I wrote her this poem, it's nothing silly,

If you knew her you'd know,

She's really pretty,

I mean really, abnormally,

But she doesn't believe it,

She asks why doesn't that size fit,

But I wish she could see,

that she is perfect the way she was made to be.
This was written for my friend, who was and sometimes still is struggling with anorexia.
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
Please. You did it again,
The more you touch me,
The more you can see,
That She is all you desire.

Please. Don't do this again,
I don't mean to offend,
But the message you send,
It is messing with my head.

Please. Why kiss me again,
My head's full of you,
With no clue what to do,
My delirium is all yours.
The same guy from Homewrecker's Repent, Stolen Kisses, Among the Stacks, and the like. He visited me, and we ended up kissing.

I am a fallen angel,
I cannot lie,
A brilliant smile,
And wings of paper
Are my only disguise.

I am a singing siren,
With a coy voice,
And a silver tongue,
I twist my words,
To make things alright.

I am a cold banshee,
A harbinger of doom,
Just a warning for you,
But you fear me so,
You shot the messenger.

I am a unwitting succubus,
Unknowingly stealing,
Hearts of men,
And leaving my morals,
Behind.

I am just Sahmeiraa,
A throwback to my past,
Just a 13 year old nerd girl's RP,
With the only one she loves.
She is nothing to anyone but me.
This is me, described in the terms I know how.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
I should have known it wouldn't last,

And alas, our time has passed,

I was good and submissive,

But you were dismissive,

And I don't know what I can do.



You liked me, adored me,

You though I was sweet.

But today, you called me,

And said you could see,

We were not meant to be,

Because of what we believe.



I know I'm so young,

And sweet, and naive,

I know it's crazy,

But I believe,

That age doesn't matter,

not to me.



But I guess I should see,

Only friends we will be,

But these Tim Eyes will always remain.
Just got my heart broke, *again*
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
I touch your skin so innocently,
But innocence is not on my mind.
I whisper so quietly in your ear,
Under the guise that it is strategy.
You are on my team, as they know.
They do not suspect sweet nothings,
To flow so very freely from my lips.
They do not know how much I crave,
You, of all the off-limit people I see,
To show me how you feel about me,
To let your hand linger on my hand,
Just a moment longer than needed.
Just long enough to let me know,
That you care about me the way,
That I have to hide how much I care,
About you, dearest.
Written from one of my youth leader's perspectives, he's 23, and is constantly doing things like leaving his hand on mine for much too long, or whispering "game strategy" in my ear.
Victoria Johnson Oct 2014
I know you'll never see this,
But I just wanted you to know,
That even if you believe,
That she is all you need,
I need you.

I tried to let you know,
So long ago,
Before she was even back,
Taking you from me.
I love you.

You said you cared for me,
But if you did, why'd you leave?
No goodbye this time,
Because you pretend you're still here.
I miss you.

All I want is to be with you,
To care for you,
To let you in.
I want to make you happy.

But you cut me down,
You don't want me,
No matter how much I,
Bend to you.
I'm nothing.
I miss him so much.
Victoria Johnson Sep 2014
You just messaged me,
I can tell you've been drinking.
You can't even remember my age,
You can't seem to recall that Saturday,
Or all those mistakes we made,

You're trying once again,
To ****** me as you did before,
Will you not stop, just quit it now?
Your girlfriend deserves so much more,
And so do I, you know.

Don't you see it hurts me?
I care so very much, too much,
Much too much to see you like this.
Too much to not try and solve it for you,
Too much to think of leaving.

I need to back away,
You know in your heart I do,
Because if I let myself get close,
You know I'll fall once again for you.
But once again I've stayed.

Nothing you do or say,
Will convince the strongest walls,
I have set guard upon my heart to fall,
I need for you to hear and understand this.
To believe this lie.
Written for the same man that Aches, Among the stacks, and Homewrecker's repent was written for.
Victoria Johnson Jul 2014
How could you do this to me?
Time and time again,
I trust you once more,
And I fall for your lies.

You spread your rumors once,
To try and "get me right"
But I did not listen to you,
And kept him in my sights.

You spread your rumors twice,
No more playing nice,
You took your shot at me,
But he's still by my side.

You want what you can't have,
and I have what you don't,
You have thrown your grenades,
But within is just but smoke.

You think scaring me will work,
And you can try if you're so sure,
But I have what you cannot,
And now you're oh-so sore.

You want it for one reason,
And that reason is it's mine,
But I'm okay,
Go on your way,
Without you I feel fine.

Because I have something you don't,
And I'm not trying to get a rise,
Out of you,
Because you have something too,
And that's a toxic mouth of lies.
Ok, so the story behind this is that I made a friend at camp, a guy (I think I'll call him Jimmy here) who was a counselor, and went to the same church as one of the girls (I'll call her Mimi)  in my group of friends. I became close to Jimmy, because he learned my story, and I his, and they were so similar in a way that made us want to stay close to each other. We became accountable to one another, and so I stuck close to him physically and emotionally. Mimi pulled me aside one day, with a couple of my other friends, and they cornered me, and told me that they were going to stage an intervention, to "get me right" and keep me away from Jimmy, because he was a bad person. Had they listened to me, they would've known that everything they told me that he had done, were things I myself had done, that I knew he had done, and I knew we were both ashamed of doing. I didn't listen to them when they started spreading the rumors about his past around the camp, and we remained close throughout the weeks after camp ended. 3 weeks later, camp for the younger kids started, and my "friend" Mimi was a counselor. Now I wasn't a counselor this week, but I had a young dear friend (I'll call her Alison) who was like a baby sister to me, who was in Mimi's cabin as a camper. Now Alison was a shy girl, so she attaches to only a few people who she'll trust with her life. I told her to trust her counselors, Mimi, and another one of my friends who staged the intervention 3 weeks before. Now Mimi had no clue just how close Alison was to me, and did not watch what she said. She started telling all of the girls in her cabin that she liked a guy named Jimmy, and pointed him out to them. She told them that there were nasty rumors spread about him (not mentioning that she had spread the rumors) and that she didn't believe a word of them. She also told the girls that I had spent all of camp holding hands, and sneaking off with Jimmy, but none of it was Jimmy's fault, I had forced himself to, and pushed myself at him out of desperation. At this point my very shy friend Alison defended me, and while picking her up from camp, she let me know what had been going on. I have not, and will not confront this friend, I wrote this poem to try and let it go, although it still stings.

Question.
Does friendship disappear overnight?
Do feelings drop off randomly?
If they do, do you really fake it,
Hoping it could come back?

Question.
Do relationships do the same?
Can you lose two years in two days?
And when you do,
Do you fake it hoping for a miracle?

Question.
Is there a script for men to follow?
Whether friend or lover,
You speak the same words,
Hoping, praying I don't notice the lines,
Used on me before?

Question.
Do you find me so unintelligent,
That you believe that I,
the girl with the wise eyes,
And the beautiful mind,
Could not see the patterns proven to me before?

Question.
Do you think so little of me,
That you could so casually use,
My worst fear against me?

Statement.
If you wanted this to be easy for me,
Don't quote my ex word for word.
Don't insult my relationship with you,
And do not insult my relationship with God.

Statement.
Don't ever come back,
Because you (I cannot say good) sir,
You are a ******* of the worst degree.
"During this past week my feelings for you as a friend have gone away and I tried to fake it to see if I could feel it but it didn't work." Right. Ok, and follow up with this line a couple minutes later, "P.s. there was a point where I almost fell for you" And if that wasn't bad, this was how the conversation started just moments before. Me: "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting, I'm just a little bit worried, that's all." Him: "Oh I see. Nothing to be worried all is fine." Me: "I'm glad..." I'm through.

To those people who think that I,
That I just want somebody to love me,
That I just want the attention,
That I didn't care about him at all,
You were wrong.

Love scares me,
Closeness scares me,
And no matter how nice you are,
You scare me.

I don't care if you're in love with me,
Because I don't believe you.
I don't care if all you've ever wanted is me,
Because I can't care for you.

If I were to love you,
I could lose you,
If I were to care,
You could leave.

You scare me,
But not so much you,
As the power you could hold over me.
Don't push me into something. You try to get close to me, and every step closer you take, I'm going to take 5 away.
Victoria Johnson May 2014
You know how hard it is?
To pass right by you,
And pretend I don't care,
Pretend I don't have a clue,
How you feel,
How I feel.

To walk past you,
And long for you,
To just grab me,
And hold me,
And not let the want show?

Do you have any idea,
That I can feel your essence,
That I come close,
And I am so aware of you,
And of your perfect body?

That location means nothing to me,
I can be a mile away,
And feel the cord that binds us,
Telling me exactly where you are.

That I can see the arrows,
Pointing me to you,
Showing the way,
Revealing you to me?

That I follow your trail,
And watch you,
Closely but from afar,
Like a little lost puppy dog?

But I cannot do anything,
Cannot say anything,
But despite my quietness,
Know that I love you.
For my (only somewhat) secret love <3

**** you, loose woman,

**** you, ***** *****,

Whose thoughts hold no weight,

Except concern for your next score.



**** the body which craves so much,

**** the heart which will not love,

Yet masks itself so well,

In a heartbreak masquerade.



**** the thoughts that ****,

**** the tongue that is not held,

No matter how hard you try,

It will never connect to your mind.



**** the pain that stabs,

**** the strongest feelings,

Because despite how hard you try,

You'll never be good enough anymore.



**** that boy,

**** what he did,

None of it should matter to you anymore,

Because you're nothing but a *****.



**** the skin so soft,

**** the eyes so smoky,

That he cannot even help,

But to touch you all the time.



**** your curved sweet spine,

**** your long smooth legs,

That he can't control himself,

That he has to take you in your sleep.



**** the childish innocence,

**** the sweet naivete,

That you trusted him,

That you couldn't stop him.



**** the pain inside,

**** the hate you feel for him,

When it was all your fault,

Yet there was nothing you could do.



**** the world,

**** it all,

When there's nothing you can do,

Yet all you do is fall.
Sorry for the swearing, I don't swear, it's really weird for me to swear.

I struggle.
The battle within me rages,
Each side fighting for control,
The Darkness has temptations,
But the Light will make me whole.

I never know whom to trust,
Which side of me they'll see,
Oh the Darkness has temptations,
But it'll be the death of me.

I live my life as if for the Dark,
But try my best to cling to Light,
Oh the Darkness has temptations,
But I want to do what's right.

I have learned to follow Light,
And I'm smart enough to know,
Tho' Darkness has temptations,
The Light is what I shall sow.
There is a battle going on for me, and many teens nowadays' souls. I struggle to follow the Lord in what I do, but it is hard.

How do I move on from this?
What's the next step?
There are tear stains on my laptop,
Left over from your words.

I want to move on from this,
Is there even a next step?
There are scars on my heart,
Left over from your words.

I have to move on from this,
What's my next step?
I trashed my room in the rage,
Left over from your words.

I'm going to move on from this,
I need to take the next step.
I will distance myself from the pain,
Left over from your words.

I am moving on from this,
I am taking the next step,
And the next,
And yet one more,
Until I am far far away from the holes,
Left over from your words.
I will rise above, and I will overcome.

I receive kisses from the one I care about,
But they're stolen from his girlfriend's mouth,
I know he cares about me too,
But honestly, I don't know what to do.
It feels so wrong to let him go on,
But I don't want him to quit,
Because I sorely long for it,
That feeling I'm sure his girlfriend gets,
When he's making sure her needs are met,
And his lips make all her worries disappear,
And his hands curl around her waist,
Pulling her close so she feels safe,
I suppose that's what she feels,
I know it's how I'd feel,
If he were mine.
But he's not,
So when his lips meet mine,
As we say goodbye,
And his hands grab my hips,
Just to keep me steady,
I just get a glimpse of what I think she feels,
What I would feel,
If he were mine all the time.
One of my best friends (who I used to have an unattached slightly physical relationship with) has started dating his ex, but me and him still hang out as friends, which sometimes leaves me slightly discouraged.

Here I stand shocked,
I forgot your birthday,
I thought the day wouldn't come,
That I went without thinking of you,
That my life wouldn't revolve,
Around you.

I've grown just so much,
That I don't rely on you,
To make my choices for me,
To control what I say or do.

I am alive and I am me,
And nothing you have done,
Could have changed my core,
My essence, my very being.
I am not yours.

I am happy now,
And finally free,
From your grasp,
From the grip you had on me.

Thank you,
For teaching me how to love,
And thank you,
For teaching me to move on.
To Nick. The best first boyfriend a girl could have asked for, one that would inadvertently teach her to not put up with someone obsessed with controlling her. For being loving despite everything I didn't know. I can't believe you're 20, and I forgot.

When you feel the mental anguish,
But honestly don't mind,
'Cause you're just happy you're going somewhere,
Even if your journey is about to end,
On a bridge called Suicide.
Short for me, really short.
