Rose petal tears
She’s even beautiful when she cries
Although it kills me to see her upset
It pains me to watch her wipe her own eyes
Miss independent
She never needed anyone else’s advice
She’s always been on her own
Ever since she’s been alive
I wish she saw what I saw
Maybe then she’d have some peace of mind
But the trauma she’s experienced
Is buried deep within her inside
But still she loves whole heartedly
Like she was never hurt a day in her life
I admire that about her
A girl like her is rare to find
Erica Girone Jul 2020
To take the red
Or the blue
To learn the world all over again
Or to not have a clue
Is there bliss in not knowing
Or bliss in the truth
To see the world for what it’s not showing
Or to live your life as a fool
Erica Girone Dec 2018
You said ride or die
But when I call no reply
And people wonder
Why others fantasize suicide
Just longing for a peace a mind
Or someone who thinks we’re worth the time
Takes our old definition of love and redefines
What we’ve been taught all our lives
Erica Girone Jul 2019
We went from I love you to leave me the hell alone
From savoring every moment but now we’re glued to our phones
Staying together just because we’re scared of the unknown
Staying together just because we’re scared of being alone
Erica Girone Apr 2020
So accustomed to getting taken advantage of
It’s become like second nature
To have the world ripped from my finger tips
In just the matter of minutes
Erica Girone Dec 2018
Self Control
Have I lost it?
The second I have a grip
I slip
I fall so deep
I make a home where I land
And only end up further down
Than where I began
At times I’ll get the energy
To take a step in the right direction
Almost reaching the top
While fighting off depression
But then the weakness overcomes me
Self Control is lost
And I’m back to square one
Right where I begun
Erica Girone Oct 2021
Serial lover
Onto another
She may survive
But she’ll never recover
Erica Girone Jul 2019
Not alone but lonely
So don’t tell me you love me show me
Everything today seems so phony
So I need you to listen closely
I need reassurance sometimes
And most of the time I over apologize
I laugh when I don’t know what to say
And when things are bad say it’s okay
Not religious but sometimes I pray
That tomorrow I’ll see another day
Because in this life no one ever knows
When it’s going to be their time to go
Erica Girone Mar 2019
Her tears run like waterfalls
Devil red eyes
Her war inside is now undisguised
My love burns like a forest fire
At her very worst I still desire
Everything about her I admire
A million lifetimes wouldn’t make me tire

So come closer baby
Let me get drunk off your kiss
Your lips are the sweetest liquor
Your touch leaves my body in bliss
The most addicting drug I’ve ever tried to resist
So I’ll never be sober as long as you exist
Erica Girone Oct 2020
A picture sometimes can be deceiving
Only showing you what they want you to see
The reality behind it becomes misleading
Viewing only what they want you to believe

I bet you didn’t see her crying
Hours before the camera flashed
How she contemplated living or dying
And filled up her empty flask

Social media or social suicide
I’ll allow you to be the one who decides
Where we compare picture perfect memories
When they are only picture perfect lies
Erica Girone May 2022
Searching for love in all the wrong places
Searching for familiarity in unfamiliar faces
Trying to make black into white
Trying to make light out of the night

But she knows better and ends up alone
Cause she’s trying to make strangers into a home
And once she snaps out of it and gets back in her zone
She realizes she loves being on her own

And maybe one day it’ll fall into place
And she’ll find familiarity in an unfamiliar face
But this time it’ll feel more like home
And she’ll no longer love being alone
Erica Girone May 2019
It’s hard to find an escape
While your feet are stuck in place
Erica Girone Jan 2020
It’s like losing a battle before it’s begun
Trying to speak while holding your tongue
When the sun is shining but hidden behind clouds
One second you’re so high and the next so far down
Pouring rain on a day all you want is the beach
It’s constantly chasing a destination you can’t seem to reach
Dying everyday but somehow you’re alive
It’s wanting to give up, but still you survive

The sun is shining
The breeze is just right
I’m laying next to the ocean
Wondering if you ever dream of me at night
Thinking back to the days
I’d fall asleep on your thighs
Hug your body close
And feel your warmth transfer to mine
The sound of your voice
Would bring chills down my spine
And don’t even get me started
On those baby blue eyes
The memories make it hard
To only focus solely on the bad times
As much as I want to hate you
You will win every time
Erica Girone Nov 2018
I can feel the emptiness in your smile
Don’t know anymore if this will last a while
I understand your confusion
My own heart’s in a delusion
Don’t hurt me
I know the lies from your eyes
I see the end, I can’t comprehend

I wanted you for a long ride
You wanted to test drive
Told me I was a familiar soul
I’d rather die than see you go
Left one last kiss on your lips
Suddenly I’m okay again
Clinging to false realities
Our story, A modern day tragedy

Oh, lover but you left me burned
Oh, pain but you helped me learn
Said I’d see you again but never returned
Time for my heart to come to terms
I’m on my own again your silence confirmed
I only trust myself
No more losing me to someone else

I would never let you see me cry
Won’t tell you I’m hurt I’d rather lie
So instead of explaining I’ll say goodbye
I’ll roll up my green and I’ll get high
One day you’re going to realize
Broken hearts heal over time
But you can’t change your mind
Erica Girone Feb 2020
So much to give
No one to give it to
Tearing myself apart
Wasn’t good enough for you
You live for the chase
I just wanted something true
I opened up my heart
You decided we were through

To you there’s no fun in winning
You crave the adrenaline of the race
And once you’ve passed the finish line
You let the prize go to waste
You spun me like a record
You played me like a tape
Silly me for believing
I couldn’t be replaced
Erica Girone Feb 2020
On the edge
I’m losing control
Part of me is terrified
The other wants to let go
What will be will be
This I already know
So why can’t I
Just let it be so
Erica Girone Apr 2021
Money is fake
And is taught to be the meaning to life
But the true meaning is love
And that’s why many lose the fight
We get so blinded by deception
Which leads our hearts to oppression
When we finally learn the answer to our questions
Is when we will finally accept the objective
Erica Girone Jun 2019
Green clouds
Summer’s day
Ocean blue eyes
Glass ashtray
Everything feels alright
For once it’s okay
Living in this moment
Instead of yesterday
Erica Girone Jul 2020
Everything seems to happen so fast
Just filled my tank and I’m already out of gas
Feels like life’s just begun but my youths already passed
Time is a concept I still have not been able to truly grasp
Erica Girone Feb 2020
To be a kid again
For everything to feel new
Colorful holidays
Saturday cartoons
Imaginary houses
Wash off tattoos
Never would’ve thought
It’d leave me so soon
Erica Girone Apr 2020
Breathe, be still
The sun is shining
The sky is blue
The day might be difficult
But tomorrow is brand new
Still today is the day you were given
So enjoy it before it’s through
Find joy in every moment
Erica Girone Dec 2021
Sometimes the worries of the day
And the hardships we face
Consume my daily mood

But when I think of you
And my memory is filled with your face
I know there is nothing I can’t do

What a joy it is to know
To truly know
And love you
Too
Erica Girone May 2019
Too
Too stubborn to let go
Too weak to break free
Too anxious to say no
Too opinionated to agree
Erica Girone Nov 2018
Detrimental
Opposite of gentle
Hazard to my health
Mainly my mental

Adrenaline to my veins
My favorite source of pain
Beyond insane
You stay on my brain

And even though you’re who’s toxic
I’ll take the blame
Cause only a fool
Would want your last name
Erica Girone Mar 2020
You level me out, you set me free
When things don’t go my way you encourage me to see
That nothing is ever as bad, as I believe it to be
Erica Girone Dec 2020
I lost the one I loved
But sometimes the person you love isn’t always right
And although you love them with all your might
Sometimes the person you love isn’t worth the fight
And even though the loss feels like your hearts been sliced in two with a knife
Sometimes the person you love isn’t always right
But I promise you’ll be alright
Erica Girone Sep 2020
Darling don’t be a fool
You may love them
But do not do for others
What they wouldn’t do for you

You may love them
But you need to love yourself too
Erica Girone Aug 2020
I look in the mirror
I’m more than what you see
There’s so much behind the eyes
Staring back at me
There’s numerous bad decisions
And also lessons learned
There’s first times and repetition
And also bridges burned
There’s betrayal and there’s love
There’s loneliness and there’s drugs
Some good and some bad
Happiness with the sad
Lost lovers and forgotten friends
Unforgettable summers
And wounds that will never mend
Erica Girone Feb 2021
I believe in second chances
And sometimes even 100 or more
I believe in loving with your whole heart
Even when it falls to the floor
I believe in treating others with respect
No matter what they do or where they come from
I believe in heartache and regret
Because God knows I definitely have some
I believe in sticking to your word
Even when things get hard
I believe everyone deserves to be heard
Even when you may disagree
And you should always try to make time
Because you never know what tomorrow may bring
Erica Girone Sep 2019
You’re like coffee in the morning and cartoons on a Saturday
Breakfast at dinner time and warm weather on winter days
Everything right in my world when it all went the opposite way
My sense of peace, the remedy to make my worries fade away
Erica Girone Sep 2020
She radiates melancholy
But with a smile on her face
Trying her best to be warm
With a distant cold embrace

I have got to say
I truly love her strength
God knows, she’s breaking
All with a smile on her face
Erica Girone Jun 2020
You need to watch how you spend your time
Putting others first and leaving yourself behind
Ignoring red flags and misreading the signs
Granting others serenity only to lose your own mind
Erica Girone Mar 2022
I mean what I say
And I say what I mean
But just like the trees
I’m always changing
I’ll flow with the breeze
And I can even handle storms
But I can’t stay under a cloud
That’s always raining
Erica Girone Aug 2020
Every time I think it couldn’t get worse
It does
It feels like the world is testing me
But with each heartache
The stronger I become
Erica Girone Oct 2020
I saw the world today
All of it’s beauty and it’s flaws
I felt the air inside my lungs
I looked at my human body in awe
I realized the true meaning
Behind our daily routines
The significance behind the air we’re breathing
And how even when it stops our stories proceed
Eternal beings embarking on a human journey
Everything in front of us is not what it seems
Lost in our own thoughts and own worries
Instead of just living and letting the day be
Erica Girone May 2021
I was born in the wrong era
I’m tired of all this technology
Where everyone is so connected
But the reality is the opposite actually
We’re divided and more judge mental
Because our thoughts everyone can see
And if you don’t agree with the popular opinion
You become the internet’s enemy
When did the world become so sensitive
That we can’t have intelligent debates
And you can sign off a persons existence
Just because you cannot relate
The world would be terribly boring
If we all thought the same way
So the next time you jump to conclusions & leave
Why don’t you listen and stay
Erica Girone Feb 2020
I wonder if you think of me
When the sun no longer shines
When the ocean waves meet your feet
When you read a clever rhyme

I wonder if you miss me
On a cold February day
On the nights you need someone to talk to
When the world doesn’t go your way

I wonder how you remember me
Like a flower in the breeze
Or a home caught in a hurricane
Bringing civilians to their knees

I wonder how you’re doing
If true love has swept you off your feet
If you’ve finally found real happiness
If this is it or again we’ll meet
Erica Girone Jun 2020
If only I could bottle her spirit
And save it for the days I need it
I would never be sad again
Erica Girone Aug 2019
I want to tell you I miss you
I want to admit my wrongs
I want to tell you I love you
I want to see you just because
I want to be the bigger person
But I’m still scared of the aftermath
Don’t want our situation to worsen
Can’t chance losing my other half
I don’t know how to tell you
In a way you’d now understand
We used to do everything together
You used to be my right hand
I miss you more than ever
Feels like I lost my best friend
Please don’t change my meaning of forever
Because our love was never supposed to end
Erica Girone Dec 2018
Half truths
Are full lies
Erica Girone Apr 2020
She took care of me
And I took advantage
She was my clarity
I took her for granted
Thought she’d never leave me
Since she knew all my damage
But she finally stop believing in me
Because her heart, I mismanaged
Erica Girone Apr 2021
Only good enough when it’s convenient to you
Erica Girone Nov 2020
God knew what he was doing
When he made humanity
That much more beautiful
Just by a smile
Erica Girone Jan 2021
I’ll go to the grave
With everything I want to say
I’m too fearful of the unknown
When really I shouldn’t be

It’s sad I would rather hide the truth
Because there’s people I’m scared to lose
But if opening my mouth caused them to flee
They truly can’t be that good for me

But still I love them with my all
Even though I know they wouldn’t understand
And everyday I’m closer to going to the grave
With everything I want to say
Erica Girone May 2020
Nothing is alright
But everything is okay
The ocean is crashing in on me
But I’m embracing each wave
Erica Girone Sep 2020
I blocked you from my social
Burned all your clothes
Threw away every love letter
Deleted you from my phone
Tried to dead you in every way possible
But whenever I’m on my own
Every memory of you plays in my head
So I’m never truly alone
Erica Girone Jun 2019
When your friends become family
And your family become foes
But then your friends become distant
And you know how this goes
Yet I still pull myself together
Putting forth all effort to be strong
Telling myself it’ll get better
That this feeling won’t last long
But as much as I try to ignore it
Nothing really is the same
I’m not perfect in this I’ll admit
I’ll even take half the blame
I kept my feelings buried
I left you high and dry
And as fine as I seem without you
We both know it’s a lie
Missing you is the worst heartbreak
I need you next to me
Instead it’s a empty ***** bottle
And a sea of misery
I pray that you’ll come back
That there’s more to you and me
‘Cause I need you to be on track
And we have so much more to see
Erica Girone Jul 2020
You’ve made me numb
To the thought of anyone
Thanks for the eternal scar
