Alice in wonderland
Alice in chains
Down the rabbit hole went
The child's remains;
Remains of the girl that she never was
To make room for the woman that she has become.
Alice in wonderland
Alice in chains
Old Alice lays dead
By herself she was slain;
Blood spilled by the blade conjured up by her mind
Or was it a Wonderland pill she did find?
Alice in wonderland
Alice in chains
As she falls down the hole
She forgets she's insane;
She'll wander the hills of this conjured up place
Singing songs with flowers with a painted on face.

In the night we see shadows
envelop the light
all but the stars turn dark
as we watch our breath bond with the breeze.
As an astral being I walk
While we talk about life and death and love
as the moon above smiles
at this child like giddiness
we have discovered in each other.
He was born while the stars collided
an explosion of colors
and their truth was confided in him alone
while the stardust created his home.
She was spawned from the sea
as wicked and wild as waves
with a temper untamed, swayed by
only the tides as they changed.
Together, sea and sky they flew
high above the rest
bringing out only the best
in the other, two sides to a sword
that could cut through all of
the pain in the world.
He and she both knew of love
but never have two souls
broken the chains of this
mind numbing cage we call
civilization without
the help of another, be it friend
foe or lover,
the will to discover
new worlds.
As the dandelion flies
through the black, silken skies
they make a wish and lock it tight
behind their lips
until the time is right to let it
slip between their tongues.
SheOfNeverland Jun 2017
Our bodies are conductors
of electricity
Sparks fly from you to me
igniting a fire
kindled by our desire
for freedom
in it's pure form
shelter from the restless storm
within our souls.
We are the flames reaching
high up to the sky
and the wisps of ash
as they pass
are the words we
whisper.
The wind ushers us along
while we sing the songs of nature
as it passes us by...
you are the best high I've ever had
and the low comes slow
as we float back down to earth
until we are ready
to fly again.
SheOfNeverland May 2017
time no longer flows,
in this piece of peace I've found;
in a place that no one knows
a place where nature has been crowned.
a place without pollution
with a limitless solution
to the **** of body, mind and soul;
the way the world tries to take control.
a place where freedom
is everyone's prize
we're ALL part of the kingdom
ruled by the same skies.
this place exists
in the souls of the masses
a place that permits
those from all creeds, colors, classes.
a place that's not perfect
for we flourish with flaws
but a place that is worth it
for one, and for all.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
it only seems fair
that after the dagger
i put in your heart
is removed,
i give you a free shot
at mine.
i thought that would be
the worst pain in
the world
but i was wrong;
the worst is knowing
i gave you that
chance but instead
you shook your head
and plunged the dagger
back through
your own
chest.

SheOfNeverland Jun 2017
art
art is the child of pain
the son of rain
the blood within the vein
of a twisted child
young and wild;
an attempt to reconcile
hatred, baseless and faceless
a screenshot of the heart....
that is art.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
Ask me if I love you
Before the day draws to a
Close.
Dream of the time we will
Enter a new world
Filled with love and
Goodness.
Hear the whispers on the wind
Inviting us to
Join the Gods at last.
Kiss me one last time
Lightly, sweetly to
Make me remember the taste
Nothing tastes quite the same
Or feels the same as you.
Pray with me for an easy end
Quietly so none may hear
Resounding words off window panes
Silence is our answer.
Trust in me my love
Until our final breaths are drawn
Void of life, our bodies will release our souls
With wings so beautiful.
"X" Marks the spot in the sky
You smile as we join hands and
Zeus greets us as we fly through heaven's gate.

There is a door
   A secret door
      A lovely, painted, magic door
         Etched with a promise to take me to
            A world in which
               I'd want to live.
There is a place
   A hidden place
      A beautiful and enchanted place
         Home to people with the purest of souls
            People with which
               I'd love to live.
There is a home
   A perfect home
      A gorgeous, ageless, tiny home
         Adorned with rooms for those I love
            Rooms in which
               I dream I'll live.
There is a face
   A ravishing face
      A splendid, classy, radiant face
         The face I hope to one day wear
            When I go through the door
               To that place, my home.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
I wish you would call me beautiful
Instead of "******* hot"
When age sets in and looks will fade
Being "****" matters not.
Beauty is something harder earned
On the inside, not the out
I think there's many in this messed up world
That forget what beauty is about.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
This is the place where
                                                     No one sleeps
                    Nightmares walk the halls
                                           You can come in
     But never leave.
                                                       They watch through windows
                     Noting every movement
Whispering so we can't hear--
                    Judging us.
                                                                                  Treatments never end
                                          Sedated to numb the pain
            Of being fried
                                                              From inside out.
                  Barbaric, prehistoric methods
                                                                                To heal the wounded mind
           Of the sad and schizophrenic ,
                                               Silence voices, erase memories.
         Animals become human again
                                                                                     But those who don't take well
                               Turn from person to monster
  Feral, feared, and broken.
                                                                  Pills shoved down my throat
                       Hazy vision,
                                                             Numb and neglected
   Left shaking on my bed.
                                                                                No windows in the rooms
                             A box without light or sound or hope,
     Souls die in this place
                                                                             Hearts rot in this place.
                            Rejects of the world unite
                                                                                                All silent in their sorrow
               Each alone in the crowd
                                                   With a story sadder than the one before
                                    Wasting away by the day
      On the second level
                                                        Of elevator B.

What is it that you dream of
When I lie in your arms
Wide awake in the darkness
As I stare through your sleeping eyes.

The years slide through my memory
I pause on those spent with you
Savoring the sweetness
Trying to kindle them anew.

As you toss and turn
I feel the gap between us grow
So many feelings with no name
Too much history to start from scratch.

I cling to your body in desperation
Hoping the physical closeness
Will mend the metaphoric void
It's a child's dream, so fragile, so blind.

You almost wake when I squeeze too tight
If I loosen my grip will I lose you?
I risk it and my fears are realized
As I watch you drift out of reach...
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
The devil once told me

Not to play with fire.

E scape from myself, if only for a little while
M ake pretend that everything is ok
P ray to a God I don't believe in
T ell them all that I'm fine, but only
Y ou see through all the lies...

I ll conceived notions of happiness haunt me
N ever give me any peace while
S miles tickle my cheeks, but the warmth never makes it
I nside...and I
D ie a little more
E very day.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
Time slips across my mind
Flowing through the gears that grind
Laying in a trance-like sleep
Counting minutes, counting sheep.
Dreams come and go like smoke
Each one does my heart evoke
And from my grasp each dream evades
While behind my eyelids each parades.
Dreams of heaven dreams of hell
Dreams so dark i shouldn't tell
Dreams that wake me in the night
Dreams that blot out all the light.
Lips that graze across my cheek
Stop the oozing tears that leak
Lost inside my silent slumber
Teary kisses hold me under.
But am i now too lost to find
The blinking EXIT in my mind?
I worry that its grown too late
For from these dreams i cant escape!
Find me, keep me, bring me back
Before my whole world turns to black
And when you find me hold me tight
Bring me closer to the light.
Wake me from this sleep my dear
I've been asleep too long i fear
But if i've stayed too long this way
With me, in dreams, i hope you'll stay.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
Just because I'm lonely

Doesn't mean that I'm alone

After all is stripped away

The last thing left is merely bone.

Like a skeleton in mourning

For her earthly beauty lost

I retreat to loveless solitude

Without knowing what it costs.

In the skin of those I envy

I walk through this world alone

With a smile shining brightly

Painted on this face of stone.

Hands reach down to save me

From this rut I've snuggled in

But I'd rather face this world without

Rather than have to look within...
SheOfNeverland May 2017
I've been living in silence for years
Through unspoken words and
Unshed tears I waited for
The words to flow, to go
From head to pen to paper
A trip they've made so many times before
A road they know, or knew
Until I met you.
You stopped the sadness that bred
The madness which inspired me,
Back when my words roamed free
And thoughts came alive in song.
For so long I hid behind a book
Without a second look at passersby
Content to live and die with only
Words besides me.
You came along like a summer storm
Out if nowhere, fierce and wild
Awakening the child that
Forgot how to laugh.
I never liked to force a line
But from time to time I grew tired
Of reason and rhyme and forgot
The simple beauty of a phrase
To help get me through the days.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
These words are my best friends
My saving grace
The only thing that
Saves me from
Myself
And my darkest face...
I trudge through this muddy mess
I call my life
The truth laid plain on my ****** dress
I should know
I wield the knife...
I write when I don't have the courage
To speak
Some call this art
Some call this lame
Some call this weak...
But there is a beauty in the silence
The way your eyes read the words
That your ears can't hear...
But sometimes I wonder why I'm alive when
There are so many others
More deserving of the space I use
More deserving of the life I abuse...
And I turn to my only friends, these words
The only true friends that I deserve.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
if i had the connections
i'm sorry to say
i'd probably be
addicted to
everything
cuz god knows
i'm hooked on
you.
i just have that type
of personality
that says there is
never too much of a good thing
but can't tell the
difference
between what's good
and what's
bad.
you are my gateway drug
and soon i know
i'll be in
over my
head.

When I look in the mirror there's one thing I see
The ghost of a girl that used to be me
So pale is her face, so tattered her shirt
The tears on her face make streaks in the dirt.

Fingers that clasp her heart in her hand
She watches it beat as she struggles to stand
Her lips form an O as she cries and she screams
She falls to the floor, comes apart at the seems.

This ghost of a girl once had her own name
But now that she's gone every word sounds the same
Inside out on the floor in what once was her room
Surrounded by darkness, gone blind from the gloom.

The girl in the mirror walks away from the glass
From her world to ours she somehow has passed
She approaches the ghost that now lies on the floor
And helps her arise while her insides still pour.

She gathers her up, every last little part
Gets a needle and thread and starts with the heart
Each thing put in its place then she sews it all in
And returns to the mirror she was meant to be in.

The ghost of the girl stares in awe at her face
The girl that once was has come back to this place
She was there all along she just needed some help
What a shock that she found she just needed herself.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
Pack the bowl
Nice and tight
Drive away
In the night
With the pipe
In my hand
Smoke as much
As I can.
Thoughts are gone
From my head
I can't help
But feel dead
Even through
All the laughs
I can't escape
My awful past.
Stars dance
In the sky
I am so
Very high
Cigarette
In my hand
It's so hard
Just to stand.
Float away
To the clouds
Silence broken
By these sounds
I can't see
Through the haze
My whole life
Is ablaze.
No solace
No love
This drug's
Not enough
All I wanted
Was to feel
But I don't
Know what's real.
Broken heart
Broken smile
Broken dreams
Like a child
Time has slowed
To a stop
Jump from the ledge
The tippy top.
In the back
Of my head
I can hear
From the dead
Saying stop
Right away
So alive
You can stay
They are jealous
Most, of me
And the world
I still see.
Now the high is
Wearing thin
Feel the aching
From within
So I pack a
Little more
And get high just
Like before
So the pain
Will go away
If for only
Just a day.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
I didn't know his name
Though it still would be the same
Had I known I'd be in pain
I never would have played his game.
I didn't know I'd die
When I looked him in the eye
If I had I might have cried
But of course, like most, he lied.
He told me I'd feel good
That I'd feel the way I should
With what happiness I could
I proudly told him that I would.
So I tried it and I loved it
And I wanted some more of it
Down my throat I tried to shove it
The feeling others seem to covet.
Feet are high above the ground
I'm lost and don't want to be found
There are words, I hear no sound
My heart and soul no longer bound.
Soon the buzz wears weak and thin
And the pain comes from within
Now the withdraw will begin
And we prepare for our next sin.
I'm so glad he introduced us
I don't care that he seduced us
With this new love that I feel
I'll never care for what is real.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
How do you repair a broken life?
I can see the pieces scattered
Helpless as to how to put them back together.

There is no band aid for a wounded soul;
No cast for a broken spirit.

How do you repair a broken life?
When all hope has turned to ash
Blown away in the winter winds.

There is no medicine for a tired mind
No surgery for a twisted heart.

How do you repair a broken life?
I can see the dismal future through the looking glass
A member of the audience of my own life.

There is no remedy for a shriveled body
No conjuration for a missing dream.

How do you repair a broken life?
You must find the thread that began the unraveling
And cut it loose to be forgotten.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
That is...I smile when in reality
It's the last thing I want to do..
It means that when I feel like I want to die
When all I want to do is sit down and cry...
I put a sickening, stupid grin on my face
And make sure that it stays in place
For the world to see
That I really am
HAPPY
Even though I'm not...
So what I'm trying to say
Is each and every day
I cut and paste this ******* grin
In the space that lies above my chin
So that all the people that I see
Will shrug and think
She's finally
HAPPY
Even though I'm not...
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
But I only see her once a month
Talk to her once a week
Think about her once a day...
Why then, do I call her
Best friend?
She is the only
Friend
I have...
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
I seem to have run out of words
The same phrases recycled;
I am a skipping record
Or someone's once favorite song
Placed on repeat until
No once can stand it anymore...
How can there be millions of words
And billions of combinations
Yet I seem to keep writing
The same poem
Over and over again
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
(Like how badly I want you to **** me
When you're trying to
Yell at me...
Like how much I want you to hold my hands
Behind my back and sink so far into my body
That I feel it in my soul...
Like how much it turns me on when
You press me into the mattress
With your hand around my throat
When you're trying to
Intimidate me...
Like how fiercely I hope for your kisses to turn to
Bites and I'll bleed all over the bed
And I'll sink down to my knees
While you hold me by
My hair
And make me **** you dry....)
So all I say is "Good night, I love you"
While I roll on my side
Pressing myself against you desperately
Hoping these are
Your wishes
Too...
But how would you know
If I'm too afraid
To tell you?
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
i think i started five poems just now
trying to find the right words
some days they flow with ease
some days they sound
strained
the backspace button shows
the most wear on my keyboard;
i wish there was a
backspace
for life...
i stared at the screen too long
and it went black
tired of waiting for me to
think of some clever combination of words;
i never set a screensaver
there's something weird about those.
i read a poem the other day
by a poet telling us
what it takes to be
a poet
but i think anyone can be
whatever they want;
who are we to judge
when we are always writing
about those who
judge us?
our species is endangered
in this age of mindlessness
we are the catalyst
for creativity
the embers of the fire
started by the great minds
of ancient times...
will we let it die completely
or will we succeed
at rekindling its
greatness?
i'm not sure where i started or where i went with this but i kind of like it
SheOfNeverland Apr 2014
I think about that place a lot
and the time I spent there
those three, excruciatingly
long days
and the things that lead me
to my stay.
life had finally pushed me
over the brink
and I took a few too many
pills one night,
a whole bottle, or two
trying to flush out
the demons
I always seemed to be
wrestling.
right before the high
set in
I began to panic
thinking of what my sister
would think of
if she saw me lying
dead and cold
on the floor
and I worried who might
find the body
since I was all alone
in that
apartment.
so I did the one thing
I wished no one would
upon swallowing...
I dialed those 3
numbers ingrained in each
American's brain.
I don't remember much
from that point on
except that I
went in an ambulance
at 3 in the morning
and I think I
remember feeling
sorry for the EMT's
because I was such a waste
not worth saving.
I think I remember my
doctor's face
and the soft coo of his
voice as he guided
my hand to
sign on the
dotted line.
I don't know if they
pumped my stomach
and I don't know
how they got me
from the
ER
to the psych ward
but I woke up
in strange clothes
in a strange bed
with a crying
roommate
and a cranky nurse
holding pills
in my face
that I couldn't
swallow
because I feared
I had no more
room in my
belly, not even
for one more.
And I stayed there for
3 days
but the one thing
I never told
a soul
was that those 3 days
were the most
serene days
I ever knew
tucked inside those
walls
with all the crazies
and their dolls
I am afraid to admit
it sort of felt
like home
and for once I
didn't feel so
alone...
I still haven't been able to remember those hours I lost, almost a whole day, and it scares me to death to think that I could have been fighting for my life in those hours, the life I thought I didn't want, and still am not sure about.
SheOfNeverland Jun 2014
I only miss you when
The day turns to night
And shadows creep across
The halls
When its only darkness
And i have to feel along the walls
Alone in this
Haunted house.
Full of memories and loss
And the sorrows of one thousand souls
Whose cries are heard from
All the holes
Left in the wall, an impression
Of my head
When you wished i was dead.
I only miss you when the
Stars cannot be seen and
When by my seventh shower
I don't feel clean
I only miss you when a song
Screams to me of those
Old feelings rare and raw
Or see a picture of things we saw
When i catch your scent
On the air
When i call your name to find
You are not there.
I miss you when i see your
Face in my dreams
You are the thing that goes bump
In the night
The monster unseen.
But when i think of all the
Hurt you made
The scars left by fingertips on
The skin you flayed...
I hate you in your hateful glory
I hope you lay awake, so sorry
To have lost the only thing you ever had
To have turned your one good thing
To something bad...
But i know I'm never in your head
As long as there's another girl
Thats in your bed....

You asked me once to marry you
I said I cannot say "I do"
When asked what may the reasons be
I simply said "I must be free."
Free to do the things I must
Before my heart, with you, I trust
Free to grow up by myself
Before I grow with someone else.
A child still in many eyes
I need to sever all the ties
That cast a shadow over me
So on my own two feet, I'll be.
Not til I can hold my own
Will I agree to make a home
As wife to you, the man I love

So I hope this promise is enough.

I promise one day we will wed

And stay together til we're dead

And in our last, and final breaths

My life complete, I'll face my death.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
Mother why are you crying
Could it be because I'm dying?
You thought the worst was in the past
I should tell you, you were wrong.

Father why are you yelling?
It just makes death more compelling;
You thought your voice would scare me
I should tell you, you are wrong.

Lover why are you leaving
I survived but still you're grieving?
You think you know best what's in my heart
I should tell you, you are wrong.

Brother why do you smile so wide
When I tell you I dream of suicide?
Thinking deep down I want to live
I should tell you, you are wrong.

Sister why must I love you so?
You are what makes it hard to go;
So innocent and fragile
You think the world so sweet and kind.
I should tell you, you are wrong.

So many people in my life
That question if this choice is right
They just don't know or comprehend
Why I so wish my life would end
And though I love them all so much
I feel so very out of touch
Even though I will be missed
I give them all a final kiss
You said this won't be my last song...
But I should tell you, you are wrong.
SheOfNeverland May 2014
that i failed that day
and it wasn't a hearse
that took me away
just an ambulance
with blaring lights
at three in the morning
in the dead of night.
am i happier now
that i didn't succeed
that i didn't succumb
to my illness's greed
when i swallowed the pills
and i kissed you goodbye
waiting for the train
to my home
in the sky.
was i wrong to be scared
when i called 9-1-1
when i told them the truth
of what i had done
or should i have waited
and let the life leave my eyes
and smiled in triumph
as i faced my demise.
those that love me would say
that i did the right thing
that it wasn't my time
to hear the angels
sing
but i never told them that i
heard no angels that day
just the screaming of
demons
when i tried to pray
to the god i wished so much
to take me
from this life that had succeeded
to break me
but just silence from he
who was supposed to be there
as i slipped into death's arms
i was all too aware
of the smell of hell's sulfur
polluting the air.
so i asked for help
though i wanted it not
and every day that i live
the smell of hell's all i've got
to keep me from trying
again and again, so
i'll just have to wait
for a more timely
end.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
I slept in your arms last night
Familiar yet so strange
You smelled of you and something else
Something that made me sad
Something I didn't know.
I slept in your heart last night
Gone for so long from that place
My sanctuary
Your bitter words can't find me there
Restful sleep found me at last.
I slept in your bed last night
It used to be mine too
Stains only we can see
Reminding us of a time we can't forget
We can't let go, can't move on
If we pretend, maybe it will always be this way.
I slept in your house last night
Rooms and doors I used to know
Filled with things that belong to someone else
Your friend, my replacement
I cry when I see no sign of me there
In what was once mine as well.
I slept in your arms last night....
So warm and welcoming
Desperate for me to fill them
Longing for something we will never have again
Something left broken in our every thought
Wishes that things were how they were
Not how they are
Not how they will be from now on.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
I gasp for air

But find none there

And try to find

Some piece of mind

As spiders weave

And sweethearts leave

From all the lies

Behind our eyes.

I scream your name

You stay the same

Silent as the setting sun

Lethal as my loaded gun

As children play

And secrets stay

Locked up tight

And out of sight.

I sing a song

So I feel strong

And watch the tears

Fall through the years

As fathers leave

And mothers grieve

I stay a stone…

I stay alone.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
sometimes you ask me
where i go
when i seem so far out of reach
staring out my window
stopping short
half way through
a conversation about
me and you
and you get upset
when I sigh and tell you
that I
forget
cuz when i go to that
place
it leaves no sign
no trace
that i was ever there...
i watch as you try
to understand
why
i act the way i do
but i just smile
cuz i know
you'll be waiting
a while
cuz i haven't even
figured it out for
myself yet...
all i can say
is that i love you
today
and that really is
the best that
i can do
cuz the only thing
between me and
you
is your inability
to accept me
for me.

Thunder in my ears
Brings me out from underneath
My memories
And all their insecurities
To the world around me
The world I wish I could forget.
Lightning flashes in my eyes
Behind the lids I see you
And you smile at my faint heart
As wind whistles through its holes
Left by those I wish I could forget.
Rain washes away my regret
But in its wake I feel a new wave of shame
As it crashes over my soul
To make up for the unforgiven
And to prepare for what is yet to come
And to cover up what I wish I could forget.

I see my breath upon the black canvas of the night

And try to **** it back inside

As I love you's jump from tongue to tongue;

Our hands entwined, our lips locked together

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye,

But it's time for me to go home.


I've come to call your arms my home

When they hold me tightly in the night;

It hurts so much when I have to say goodbye

And through my eyes you see inside

My soul. And we dance together

While you paint pictures with your tongue.


But my road is forked like a snakes tongue

And I cannot remember my way home

Or if we were always and will always be together

Or if it's day or if it's night

Or if my pain is outide or inside

My heart. And I wave goodbye.


Before I leave you plant a kiss goodbye

And I feel the sorrow seed grow on my tongue

Its roots reaching, digging deep inside

And growing into the ground. My home

Is so far away, and I won't get there until the night

Is over but it's ok because we're still together.


You ask me if we'll always be together

But I wonder if it's time to say goodbye

I cry and tears fall from the sky at night

And land on my stolen tongue.

You follow me home

And make sure that it's safe inside.


But I feel a burning deep inside

And I press my lips tight together

Because I'm afraid to scream. I'm home

But you will not say goodbye

And you have a sharpness to your tongue

That cuts right through the night.


And inside my heart I feel it darken like the night

Wishes that we could stay together roll from my tongue

But my home cannot be with you. Goodbye.

Don't kiss me goodbye
Just kiss me hello
Maybe that way
You'll decide not to go.

Don't sleep by my side
Just sleep in my arms
Maybe that way
I'll protect you from harm.

Don't open your wings
Just open your heart
Maybe that way
We will not fall apart.

Don't tell me your lies
Just tell me the truth
Even though we are young
We have wasted our youth.

Don't say that you'll stay
Just say that you're done
And just kiss me hello
Then goodbye with your gun....

I miss you
Daddy,
Where did you go?
On my first
Birthday
My gift from you was
A disappearing act.
I didn't know
That you were a
Magician,
Four years old,
You finally
Reappear.
You cram my brain
With Starry Wars
And Nightmares
Before Christmas.
You fill my belly with
Shell mac-n-cheese
And microwave soft pretzels.
And you inject my heart
With the hope
That this time you will
Stay.
I hate you
Daddy,
Gone again.
You've been practicing
Your magic
Tricks.
Not only can you
Vanish
But you can also
Brainwash
Little girls.
I cry myself to
Sleep
And wonder where it is you've gone
And why you left me
Here
And when you will
Reappear
This time.
I'm seventeen
And here you are
Again.
And when you let me down
I realize that you
Never knew
Magic.
You never were a
Magician.
You were just a
Man
That was
Lost
With a daughter
That you couldn't
Keep
And a life that you
Hated.

This tiny pill is all I have

For keeping me from going mad

But if one day I should run out

I'll go insane, I have no doubt.

The doctor said I need this pill

For in my brain I'm very ill

And though I seem to have it all

My love for life has grown too small.

I hate this life and my condition

I hate the need for this prescription

Although it keeps the monsters out

I wish that I could go without.

But even with this little cell

My mind is still not doing well

The doctors word was just a lie

I find that I still want to die.

Reaching for the tiny case

In my mouth, the pills I place

The pills that were prescribed to save

Have served to put me in my grave.

Take me up the stairs and then
Lead me to your room
Lay me down and kiss my neck
And let the love ensue.
Push my hair behind my ears
And slowly move your hips
Listen as I say your name
And watch my smiling lips.
Hold me close and hold me tight
Keep it soft and smooth
And hear my whimpers in the night
As our bodies move.
And when the heat begins to grow
Look into my eyes
See the passion lurking there
Laid plain, and free of lies.
As our bodies mold to one
I can’t help but to feel
Without you I’d be half of me
The love we have is real.
So as my body arches up
And pleasure hits its peak
I melt into your arms once more
And sweetly drift to sleep.
one of the few positive poems I've written in my life,,,,i love you jesse <3
SheOfNeverland Jun 2017
Here I am
Looking at you watching me
As I see the world
Through your words
And I taste your truth
While we speak of youth,
Sitting on the pavement
Staring at the sun,
As if no one ever said
It wasn't safe.
Pondering the things we've done
Mistakes we've
Sown and grown
Into a lesson,
Talking of gods and queens
Our hopes and dreams.
I spilled my soul
Onto the concrete
As you stared in wonder
While I tapped my feet
To the beat of your heart.
SheOfNeverland Feb 2014
I love you but you don't exist
You live within my mind
Why is it that my heart aches
With the thought of losing a thought...
I dreamed you up one night
With perfect little toes and a tiny little nose...
My baby, my darling child
Sometimes I take a nap just to play with you.
You were real once upon a time
A little blip in my belly
Barely even recognized as life...
But I knew you were there...
And I knew as soon as you were gone...
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
Hello up there my darling cloud
You’re pregnant with my tears;
Darkness looming overhead
I’m blinded by my fears.
How is it that you stay afloat
You never leave my side;
Constant reminder of my pain
You’ve stripped me of my pride.
Cloud of mine why must you stay
I can’t believe my eyes;
The worse I feel the more you grow,
You’ve eclipsed the sunny skies.
Listen very close, my cloud
I will not tell you twice;
Leave me now and leave for good
Before I pay the final price.
If you aren’t gone before I wake
I swear this night’s my last;
I’ll never move ahead in life
If I can’t escape my past.
SheOfNeverland Mar 2014
So much noise in the back of my mind
Looking for the peace I never could find
I sit and stare across this empty space
Wishing I could fill it with a familiar face.
Lost inside these endless dreams
Relief is never as close as it seems      
And with your breath upon my back
I run, full speed, into the black.
You shout my name, I turn around
But you are nowhere to be found
Fist full of hair I stumble down
Unto my knees as screams surround.
My voice is strangled, not my own
Beneath each fallen tear has grown
A tree with branches reaching high
Through these dreams into the sky.
But when I try to climb the limbs
An ominous, crippling storm begins
And from the trees I plummet down
And find myself upon the ground.
Heartbeat slows, fades in and out
Whisper fades, ghost of a shout…
And in my final breaths I see
Your smiling face looking down at me.

My gypsy heart longs for the road
my ears wait for the stories told
throughout the years, passed down the line
stories that have outlived time.
My wandering eyes yearn for the stars
let's pack our bag, live in the car
with a forest bedroom in the trees
pillows made from maple leaves.

My gypsy heart cries for the skies
begging them to come alive
to wash away our soiled souls and
let us live in times of old.
My bleeding ears search for the song
but every sound I hear is wrong
in vain I try to find the tune
as the sun rays burn away the moon.

My gypsy heart calls out your name
in hope that yours will do the same
two sorry souls joined into one
our journey, now, has just begun.
My waiting lips anticipate
the commencement of our woven fates
as we lie upon the forest floor
you leave me wanting so much more.

How strange it is to see my reflection

Staring up with vacant eyes

But those eyes are the very same

That rest inside my skull

And see the world through a foggy haze

That never lifts, not even for you…

My reflection lives in a puddle

But when the puddle dries

And I cannot see myself anymore

Will I too disappear into the vapid air?

Who knows…I sure don’t

But when all our masks are torn away

And our reflections are left naked and bare

Who will trick us then…?

No one, not even this fog we live in.

I feel it slipping—

Like sand through fingers

On the beach in my soul

Where the tide rages

And birds cannot find

Any food to eat

Because all that was planted

Is rotten

And all that was found

Was forgotten.

I feel it falling—

Like a man from the roof

Of his damnable house

When he feels he cannot

Take it anymore;

Where the birds sing their

Strangled songs

And sinners try to

Right their wrongs.

I feel it sliding—

Like an oil slick

On a gravel road

In the forests of my mind

Where children hide

Their broken smiles,

And jacks and jills

Roll down the hills

And secrets slide

From lips so wide

To ears so near they hear it clear.

I feel it breaking—

Like the ***** windows

In that damnable house

With finger prints

And drawings traced

By finger tips

Upon the panes of glass

Which shutter in the

Windy night

And whisper that it’s

All alright.

I feel it fading—

Like a fire waning

In the night

Beneath the stars

That burn so bright

And in the humid

Summer air

I know that it’s too late

To care;

But I feel it breaking

Snapping, shaking…

My sanity slipping from my grasp

Is getting way too hard to clasp.

It’s gone.

I've come to realize that
I have no home
No space I can
Call my own
No room where I can
Run and hide
When the world becomes
Too much
To bear
But no one cares
Cuz I bounce between
My parents house
And the apartment
I once called
Mine
But now only belongs to
Him.
He never did learn
To share
And the more days
I live on travel sized
Toothpaste
I realize how much
Of my life
Is a
Waste.
No job no skills
Just time
To ****
With this nagging
Sense of
Doom
I'm running out of room
To breathe.
No home to call my own
I've grown used to
Running
From my problems
And reaching for
A hand to save
Me from my open
Grave
But never find one there
Or anywhere.

I never colored inside the lines
And i watch my lips kiss
The blue silk line across
My cigarette
I feel as though nothing was
Ever as beautiful
As right now.
My hair falls
Canopy to my tear struck face
Shelter from the storm.
I'm a minor chords type
Nothing ever tasted as sweet
As it did yesterday and
The grass is always greener
When someone else is
Speaking of it.
I take my coffee black and my
Souls even blacker
Take a picture of my eyes
So you know I'm always watching
As you sleep with eyes wide open
Lids heavy with insomnia
I'll be there to keep your peace.
I've never been so mixed up
So messed up so ****** up
Before in my whole life
And writing this doesn't even
Help to sort it out.
I'm a lost soul on a
Broken plane in a saddened world
Where people have no name...
