How can thoughts be real
They're not solid enough to touch
So how can someone manifest
A feeling such as love?
Can you
Hold it
Breathe it
Squeeze it in your hands
It's forcing us to trust
In the invisible
Once again

Because although you can't see it
  It can still disappear
Love is the sad song
That left you crying in your beer

Blind sided
It can hit you
And you best believe it's true
Love is as real
As the way I feel for you
....

kiss my lips
tell me i'm pretty

grab my thighs
tell me you miss me

clutch my hips
tell me I'm your only one

look me straight in the eyes
tell me you need me

break my heart
and tell me you love me.

you're there
holding, with gentle hands
breathing, with a soft pace
kissing, with tender lips
listening, with kind ears
speaking, all these perfect words
but i’m still scared to love you

Depression
By: Desiree’ Bisby

Depression is an illness that takes control of your life
Unwanted feelings and thoughts are trapped in your mind.
Some days are easy and you feel no pain
And other days you wish you’d get hit by a train.
You walk down the halls with a smile on your face
Nobody bothers asking, “Are you okay?”.
Each day is filled with the sadness and loneliness
But soon enough you will meet Gods great holiness.

Dear Daddy,
Do you know what these men say to me?

With their
eyes and their mouths
when I walk on the street.

With a grin and a nod
and a look up and down.
A wink and a kiss
and a cat call heard from downtown.

With my skirt short
and my top
low,
It’s a cold world daddy
and no
doesn’t mean no.

Daddy do you know
how these men look at me?

Like I’m a piece of meat
strutting down the street?
With my head buds in
and my favorite song on.

I’m asking for it Daddy,
I’m in the wrong.

Do you know how it feels
not to wear what I like?

To walk a little faster
when I’m alone at night?

Daddy the world is my predator
and I am it's doe,
Daddy what happens
when I can’t say no?
i hope tomorrow i'll eat more than a cookie
chocolate chipping away at my pain
but i am so full.
full with tears and lost moments
trying to take back my heart
the way that you stole it
but how when i can't even move
my body to stand or my mind off of you
with you i would laugh at that stupid old cliché
"love is pain"
like with you it was impossible to hurt
**** impossible
i turned out to be an obstacle
tripping over myself
you i did not help
or at least i could not tell by the way
you threw me away
promises are like picked flowers
special while they last
with time wither until they crack
why do we give these dead gifts
thinking of you and your words
builds a fire in my chest
memories are its fuel
locked in an endless duel
with myself
do you need him or you don't
my currently reality says i do
i still wanna say 'i do'
to you.
but you wont have me to love and to hold
all the dreams you sold
i bought
they came beautifully wrapped
now i'm wrapped up in your memory
can't sleep
i need one Atarax, two or three
tempting to leave the bottle empty
turning over to your side of my bed
can't even turn on the television
without thinking of you beside me
currently besides myself
in the wake of your mistake
still loving you
still hating you
maybe tomorrow i'll have another cookie
or two

you

you
i want you
in every way there is to want a person

from lazy rainy days
sitting around in underwear
wrapped up in the covers
enveloped in each other

to lustful late nights
high happy and in love
too absorbed with each other
to focus on anything else

i want you
and i see so much in you
that counting all your perfections
would be like counting the stars
there's too many to keep track of
and they just seem endless

i am utterly in love
with every inch of your being
every corner of your mind
and everything in between

i might not know what i believe
or where i'm going
or what i'm doing
but i do hope
you'll hold my hand
and wander blindly with me
because as long as i'm with you
i don't need a destination
you are the journey

i am simply enamored with your entity
captivated by your character
fascinated
infatuated
amorous
in love
you asked me to write you a poem, i hope you like it
the smoke from his lips
quietly omits into the dark

he turns to face me with
his bloodshot, glossy eyes

"i want you" the drugs said

the substance in his system
had complete control over him.

- you never wanted me
you're constantly checking
that photo you just uploaded
2 likes in 20 minutes
you start thinking of everyone
who has seen it
what did they think of it
obviously not that you're pretty
they couldn't click a single button
to make you feel a little better
ten more minutes go by
only one more like
from your great aunt
it took you 13 trys to
get the picture just right
you liked it at first-
so you thought
now as you re examine it
you see the flaws
no wonder why no one liked it
how embarrassing it's been up
about 35 minutes now
finally you delete it
before anyone else can see

When the man on the corner gives you looks
While you're walking home from school
You will learn to shrink into yourself.

When the boys at school talk about your body
As if you're not sitting right there
You will act as if you've disappeared,
And when you come back
You will no longer know the difference between a compliment
And another degrading word.

When the person you trusted most,
The one who was supposed to save you,
Took the definition of respect
And replaced it with a sense of paranoia,
And a fear of human touch.
You will forget who you are.

Shrink.
Shrink.
Shrink.
The silence will taste bad on your tongue
As will the laughter in their mouths.
Shrink.
Shrink.
Shrink.
Until you no longer have a body made for love
Instead hate.
