"If you can take it
You can make it"

-Louis Zamperini

Me: "You don't want me?"

You: "I don't want to break your already broken heart"

Me: "I don't care, that will only mean that I have more pieces to love you with"

What did I do
To deserve someone
As great as you.
Nothing,
I did nothing to
deserve you.
That's why
You aren't staying

Late last night
I learned that
Even a broken heart
Can break once more.

Empty is not always
Not feeling anything anymore.
Sometimes
It's feeling so much
But having no more tears
To shed

It's the kind of sadness  
That shuts your throat,
That makes you feel sick.
It makes it hard to breathe
But you will survive.

I'm choking on the tears
That I am unable to shed

My heart has been shattered into a million pieces
And I'm still looking for the piece
That has your name written on it

I believe
That when you get close to someone
They then own
A part of your heart.
But then
When everyone leaves
There's nothing left of you.

People are meant to live in your heart
That's why your heart has chambers.

How stupid of me.
To think that something good
Could stay and be mine.
How stupid of me
To think that I deserve to be loved,
How stupid of me to fall so hard
So fast.
Cause almost everything that falls
Breaks

Looking back
If I knew how much you would
Mean to me
I never would've looked at you twice.
Looking back
If I knew how much this goodbye would hurt
I never would've said hello

Best way to avoid goodbyes?
Don't say hello.

Writers block is such a *****.

Don't fashion me into someone who needs saving
I'm not a princess,
I'm a fighter.

I turned myself into an umbrella
To protect you from the rain
But even though you were dry
You still felt the pain

I will change the world
One poem at a time.

I inhale pain
And exhale poetry

Take my hand and close your eyes
Together we will learn to fly

Let's lay under the moon
As the stars fall from the sky.

People are like bars of soap:
The tighter you hold on
The more they slip away.

Deep blue sea
What have you done to me?

You are a hurricane.
I don't know whether
To run from you
Or to chase you

Sometimes I wonder
Why I even fell for you.
And then I see you smile.
The way it lights up your whole face.
Who cold not
Fall in love with that?

The wind in her hair
And the sun on her face
She closes her eyes
And dreams of outer space

I lay here
On my beautifully
Tragic island
All alone
And I watch
The boats
As they shatter
on the rocks
Trying to reach
This unreachable island

My world is falling apart
And no one seems to care.

Don't just dream of happy days,
Make the days as happy as your dreams

Tell me, do you miss me?
Do you think of me at night?
Do you wish that,
You could hold me
And tell me that everything's alright
Do you hear me in the songs you sing
Or see me in all the little things
You do.
Cause those are all the things
I want to tell you.

Don't be afraid
To colour outside of
The lines

When in doubt,
Stick up the *******
Say
***** it.
This is my life
It's time for me To be happy again

Why do we expect
To be made whole again
When we fall in love?
When everything that falls
Winds up broken

Tell me how to forget about you
The same way you have forgotten
About me?

It wasn't until
You were gone
That I realized
I think
I'm in love with you.

It kills me,
Now that you're not here.
It kills me,
That I can't talk to you.
It kills me
That you are going on
Living your lif without me.
But the thing that kills me the most
Is the way that you have forgotten about me
In ways that I could never
Forget about you.

I'm trying to hold on to you
Instead of trying to hold onto me back,
You're slipping away

Some people get drunk through
Alcohol
Through other people's love,
The intimacy of a kiss.
I get drunk off of
The poetry you speak.

I can't discern left
From right when
I'm with you,
How am I supposed to
Think straight?

I wish I knew how to
Tell you how I feel.
Whether it be
In person
Or through writing.
But instead when I'm around you
My thoughts get jumbled.
I become incapable of forming
Coherent sentences.
Maybe the best way for me to tell you
Is to not tell you at all,
But to show you
What you do to me.

Hey to all of the Beautiful Souls out there!

I got this idea from Wyatt Rabon
To just talk to you guys.
I find a lot of amazing poetry on here
About many different things
And I've been running out of ideas lately
So I was wondering
What got you started on poetry?
Where do you get your inspiration from?
If you wanna let me know,
Or get in touch,
Message me! I love getting messages!
Thanks for reading, and always keep writing!!!

Lots of love,
S.L.

The world is my canvas,
But my hands are shakey  
I have the wrong brush
And my colours aren't clean

I can't get enough
Of your Teddy bear love

You are not driftwood, so don't go with the flow.

You can look but you won't find
The girl that you left behind.

If a tree falls
And no one is around to hear it
Does it make a sound?
If I'm falling apart on the inside
But no one can tell
Does that mean the pains
Not real?

You showed me something real
And the way you make me feel
I wanna let you know
You had me at hello

Love is
Gentle
And caring
It's bittersweet  
It's magical.
But most of all
It's painful.

Don't over complicate things
Say what you mean,
And mean what you say.

We lock ourselves in high towers
Out of fear of someone hurting us again.
We build a moat and push everyone away
And then wonder why no one comes to save us

I have built a tower out of my fears
To protect me from harm.
I've built a blanket of my loneliness
To keep me warm at night
