Expressions of Silence
She Writes Jul 2018
Her poems are expressions
Of her silence
She pens all the thoughts
She’s scared to hear
Pouring from her own mouth
457 · Oct 2018
White Lies
She Writes Oct 2018
Am I a fool to believe
The ease with which you lie
To those you hold most dear
Would not also pertain to me?
455 · Jun 2018
Darker Days
She Writes Jun 2018
It amazes me
How quickly change occurs
You can be a part of my life
But I’m no longer part of yours

You found happiness
I am delighted for you
Does that mean I must be replaced
By the one shiny and new?

I thought you were my rock
A constant I could lean on
I thought we were un-breakable
I couldn’t have been more wrong

As our friendship dwindles
And we walk our separate ways
I know it’s time
To prepare for darker days

Devoid
She Writes Feb 2020
How can you complain about your life
Lonely and devoid of light
When you lay beneath a blanket of stars
Each and every night
450 · Dec 2017
You Are A Diamond
She Writes Dec 2017
Always remember:
You are a diamond
Even when you are treated
Like a rhinestone

If the one you pine after
Doesn’t see that
Than they are not worthy
Of your time or affection
Not so much a poem as a quote I suppose, but worth sharing all the same
450 · Jul 2018
Arguments
She Writes Jul 2018
I don’t make arguments
Out of nothing
I make nothing
Out of what should have been an argument
449 · Jun 2018
Spilled Ink
She Writes Jun 2018
Your love is like spilled ink
My heart is like paper
The more I try to wipe you away
The more you spread
Infecting every inch of me
I try to erase you
Only to tear myself in the process
The harder I try
The more I fall apart
Until there is nothing left
But tattered pieces
Of ink and useless paper
448 · Nov 2017
You Complete Me
She Writes Nov 2017
I promised myself
I’d never let you complete me
But here I am almost whole
Oh what a tragedy

When you leave
I will be empty and lost
Broken, just like you found me
Begging you to stay at any cost
445 · Feb 2020
Red Eyes
She Writes Feb 2020
on the rare occasion
that you chose to show me affection

it was two bodys together
two souls apart

I used to shower
immediately after ***

to wash away the filth
to scrub away the feeling

let my tears cascade
like the rain from the showerhead

watching my pain ridden bubbles
slowly disappear down the drain

when I emerge you ask me
why my eyes are so red

I tell you I got shampoo in my eyes
you laugh and say how stupid I must be

tell me, who is the stupid one?
me with red eyes? Or you not noticing i always cry after ***?
Really rough draft, but wanted to share anyways
444 · Mar 2018
Music
She Writes Mar 2018
I dance until I’m numb.
I sing until I’m free.
Music is my escape;
My way to be me.
441 · Nov 2017
The Night
She Writes Nov 2017
Some fear the night;
Scared of monsters in the dark.
I prefer the darkness;
The only demons I fear
Are the ones inside me.
440 · Mar 2018
Divorce
She Writes Mar 2018
Sitting in uncomfortable silence
No longer husband and wife
From this day forward
Both starting a new life

Reminiscing
Brings me to tears
We have so many good memories
Over the years

The safety I feel
Makes me want to stay
When I see the hurt in your eyes
I have to look away

I love you so ******* much
But I can’t hurt anymore
I wish we could turn back time
To the way things were before

I will miss you
But it’s better this way
My heart is aching
But I know I cannot stay

You say I’m being selfish
And maybe it’s true
I keep trying to make it work
But I cannot forgive you

Our life together
Is ending here today
Going our separate ways
With nothing left to say

You lay in a separate room
Im crying and were both alone
Nothing left but memories
Of our family and our home
This one was really hard for me to write.
440 · Mar 2018
Blinding
She Writes Mar 2018
You are as blinding as the sun
But that doesn’t stop me from staring
You are as unreachable as the stars
But that doesn’t stop me from wishing
440 · Apr 2018
Dreaming of You
She Writes Apr 2018
My wandering fingertips
Trail up and down my skin
I can’t help but wish
It was your lips again
439 · Jun 2018
Lost and Found
She Writes Jun 2018
In trying not to lose you
I lost myself
I had to let you go
To find who I am again
439 · Feb 2020
Believe
She Writes Feb 2020
If she chose to believe
In her own dream
Just this once
Perhaps it could come true
433 · Jul 2018
House of Cards
She Writes Jul 2018
Building trust
Is like building a house of cards
One wrong move
And everything we built
Is destroyed
Our cards are on the table now
Shall we attempt to rebuild?
432 · Aug 2018
Good Intentions
She Writes Aug 2018
Your “good intentions” cause more pain
Than your bad intentions ever could
428 · Apr 2018
Conflicted
She Writes Apr 2018
I don’t want to want you
But I need you

I don’t want to stay
But I don’t want to leave you

I can’t live with you
But I don’t want to live without you
426 · Jul 2018
Sticks and Stones
She Writes Jul 2018
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But my anxiety
Will **** me first
426 · Jun 2018
Insomniac
She Writes Jun 2018
Oh blissful slumber
Please whisk me away
Take me to a place
With cotton candy clouds
So I can finally be freed
From this uneasiness
Keeping me awake
426 · Mar 2018
Skin Deep
She Writes Mar 2018
She was a beast;
Admiring her beauty in the mirror.
425 · Jun 2018
Good Enough
She Writes Jun 2018
I know you are too good for me
But that won’t stop me from trying
To be good enough for you
424 · Dec 2017
Thinking Too Much
She Writes Dec 2017
As I sit over here
Thinking about you
I wonder if you’re sitting over there
Thinking about me too

I’d never ask
Out of fear
That I am not the one
On your mind, dear

I’d rather live with hope
That you think of me, lover
Than know for sure
It is another

Counting Lies
She Writes Jan 2019
Most count sheep when trying to sleep
I count lies that have been told to me
416 · Feb 2018
Scatterbrained
She Writes Feb 2018
Excuse me as I stumble
Through my scattered thoughts
I am not very good at expressing love
My brain is cluttered
My sentences never form as I want
Let me show you with my lips instead
All the words on the tip of my tongue
Let me show you with my hands
All the love I have to give
My body can paint the picture for you
That my scattered brain cannot put into words
415 · Apr 2018
Meteors
She Writes Apr 2018
Watching meteors
Streak across the sky
Sparks the realization
Even things falling apart
And combusting all around you
Can be beautiful
415 · Jul 2018
Trust
She Writes Jul 2018
I’m scared you’re going to be
The one who finally breaks me
My trust you betrayed
Cut my heart with your blade

I cannot take much more hurt
My brain is on high alert
I have to protect the pieces of my fragile heart
I’ve told you this from the start

I don’t understand why you hurt me still
You knew I’d do anything at your will
I never expected you to play games
I believed every one of your claims

I want to trust you
To know everything as true
I’ve never felt so afraid
These feelings I’m trying to evade

I love you more than I should
It’s bad for my livelihood
I am trying to forgive
But I’m running out of trust to give
407 · Dec 2017

Beautiful Soul
She Writes Apr 2018
A pretty face will fade with age
A perfect figure will change over time
But a beautiful soul will remain the same-
A beautiful soul
403 · Apr 2018
Voice
She Writes Apr 2018
They asked me not to tell my story,
it would cause others too much pain.
They were so afraid of my voice,
That i learned to fear it too.
It wasn’t until I found writing,
That I realized just how powerful my voice is.
397 · Apr 2018
Cursed
She Writes Apr 2018
It is both my biggest blessing
And my greatest curse
To feel everything
With such deep emotion
396 · Feb 2018
Anxious Thoughts
She Writes Feb 2018
How do I break the cycle
I cannot control my thoughts
I replay scenarios
like an unchained melody on loop
Future fears
Past mistakes
Haunt me like an empty house

I am not enough
(You are enough)

A power struggle
Between my inner demons
Right and wrong
Pain and happiness
A record skips
Replaying the same line
Over and over
My anxious mind is a prison
To which I’ve been given a life sentence
395 · Nov 2017
Before I Met You
She Writes Nov 2017
Before I met you

There were spaces in my head
Even my demons were scared to touch

There were parts of me so cold
Even the sun couldn’t warm

There was a side so dark
Even the stars couldn’t illuminate

You were never scared to crawl in my head, warm my heart, and light up my darkness.
393 · Apr 2018
Insomniac
She Writes Apr 2018
From this nightmare
I cannot wake

To wake up
I must first fall asleep
393 · Dec 2019
Bits and Pieces
She Writes Dec 2019
What do I do?
For years I’ve been collecting
All these parts of you

Do you feel whole
with missing fragments
of your mind, body, and soul?

What did you do
with all the pieces of me
when I decided to flee?

Do you carry bits
in the back of your mind?
Trapped yet able to constantly remind?

Did you place your memories
in a box on a shelf?
Gathering dust all by itself?

I hope you feel me
the way I feel you...
A presence in everything I do.

Garden
She Writes May 2018
She planted a garden in their love
Because she believed in a tomorrow
389 · May 2018
Silk
She Writes May 2018
She was made of silk
Though she was soft to the touch
Her fibers were strong
Her secrets and stories
Tightly woven
But if you grasp one loose string
She unraveled as quickly
As she was woven together
388 · Apr 2018
Hatchet
She Writes Apr 2018
When I asked if we could bury the hatchet;
I didn’t mean in my back.
385 · Apr 2018
Daughter
She Writes Apr 2018
She is my everything
My universe
I live everyday
With telescope eyes
Constantly in awe
Of her celestial beauty
384 · Jun 2018
Thank You
She Writes Jun 2018
I had accepted my fate
Content with drowning
You woke me up
Made me crave life again
And just like that
You saved me
When I wasn’t looking for a savior
383 · May 2018
Stay Wild
She Writes May 2018
Stay wild, my child
Live free
You can be anything
You want to be
381 · Mar 2018
Courage
She Writes Mar 2018
Courage does not exist without fear.
We must choose to rise above
Our fears and insecurities.
This is where true courage lies.
377 · Nov 2017
She Reads
She Writes Nov 2017
She has lived thousands of lives
Through others eyes
She has slain monsters
Fallen in love countless times

Books keep her sane
Page by page
Line by line
Losing herself for awhile
375 · Sep 2018
Pedestal
She Writes Sep 2018
I placed her upon a pedestal so high
She grew wings and flew away
373 · Nov 2017
Comfortably Numb
She Writes Nov 2017
She was no longer sad
Though she had every reason
She’s no longer angry
feelings used to change like the seasons

empty and numb
Is all she feels now
That’s probably worse
Deep down she knows

She perfected her facade
Pretend it’s all okay
Shut down and feel nothing
Easier than feeling everyday
373 · Mar 2018
Broken Hearts
She Writes Mar 2018
When trying to mend our hearts,
We often search for “the one” who can fix it.
Ultimately finding “the one”
That leaves us more broken than before.
She Writes Dec 2017
Why does love have to be a constant battle? Why is it wrong to just tell the one you love that you love them? When did it become more socially accepted to hide how you feel, and treat each other like ****? Why is it normal to push away when someone gets close rather than embrace it? Why is everyone so afraid to love? I am so tired of playing games. So tired of the power struggle. So tired of playing hard to get, but not too hard to get. Sick of feeling like I am clingy or wrong for wanting to be around people I care about. Why are those who express how they feel viewed as weak? It takes a lot more strength to share how you feel than it does to close yourself off from the world. It’s no wonder people feel sad, lonely, miserable, unloved, and alone! Why do we do this to each other.
I just really needed an outlet to vent how I feel. I am so tired of hurting, and seeing others around me hurt. All this pain could be so easily avoided if we could all just be honest with ourselves and each other.

Through The Eyes Of A Child
She Writes Apr 2018
I wish I could view the world
Through the eyes of a child
Finding beauty in the small things
Unapologetically happy
Blissfully unaware of the evils
Lurking behind every corner
371 · Apr 2018
Exception
She Writes Apr 2018
If nothing lasts forever
Why do we expect love to be the exception?
