To my parents,
I hope you are out there.
I hope that you have not forgotten about me.
But I hope that you do not worry.
I have a family I love
And that loves me back.
I hope you still love me,
If you ever did.
Cause I love you.
You gave me this life.
I hope that you are healthy
And happy with your lives.
And I want you to know
That the daughter you didn't want
Is not sad that you did not want her.
But she is sad that you missed out
On everything I've become.
I hope that what you wanted
Was worth it too.
Cause you will never know someone
Quite like me.

I guess it's true
It's not you its me.
It's me who has insecurities
Who's afraid of never being loved
To break down the walls.
It's me who can't move quick enough for you
It's me who can't open up
To every question you ask.
It's me who can't get over the past
Who can't take a hard hit
And shrug it off.
It's me who carries around a large suitcase
Filled with the things I've seen
The baggage that I have to carry.
It's me who's slowing you down
And for that,
I'm sorry.

Some see weeds,
I see flowers.

I always pay a little more attention
And give a little more love
To the weeds in flower gardens,
Because, like me,
They are the odd ones out.

Her hands are covered in countless scars
From all the time she tried to grab the stars,
A beautiful bright star to call her own
Because the darkness is all she's ever known

Her hands are covered in countless scars
From all the time she tried to grab the stars,

It'll all figure out
And it'll all make sense someday
But for now we will just have to
Keep on guessing.

Oh, Aphrodite I pray to thee
Find someone for me to love
And bring their heart to me.

We are lucky enough to be a chapter
in the Universe's storybook.
Let's make it a good one
Worth reading!

I'm always scared of being the anchor
That holds everyone down.

You say you will break my heart
But I don't care if it breaks
As long as it's broken by you.

How can you expect anyone to love you
When you can't even love yourself?

I sit here and wonder what it would be like to fly
Go
Up
Up
Up
And tell the world goodbye.

You said you loved me,
But you were looking at her

The question is never how,
But why?

She is a soul made of fire
In a world that is too afraid to burn.

Don't tell me you know me
Until you have known my scars
Until you have met all of my demons
Do not tell me you know me
Until you have seen all the missing pieces of my soul
Do not tell me you know me
Until you have danced with me on the flames that are my heart
And do not get to know me
If you are too scared to burn.

As we whisper the word
In the dead of night
Our souls have been
Forever united.

It isn't fair
What happened to you
But the worst things
Happen to the best people
Our hearts are broken
You were a gift
And you will be missed
They say angels
Have beautiful voices
Well I know now that's true.
Fly high in the sky.
We love you.

Life is too short
To hold your breath.

A poet is an extraordinary thing
made entirely of feelings,
ink,
one too many thoughts
but not enough sentences.

In this storm I have become a raft.
I just go with the flow,
here to save you from drowning
when it becomes too hard to swim.

I hang on your every word
Your every breath
Every syllable
And hope that one day
You'll do the same to me

Please stay.
I promise I will get better
You don't know
How long I've fought these demons
And what they've done to me.
But when you're here
My demons seem
A little quieter
A little calmer.
And for a little while
I feel like I might actually
Get through this.
So please stay.

They always said that if you tried
Hard enough your dreams come true
But they forgot to mention
That nightmares are dreams too

It can hurt you
It can burn you
It can change you

You tried so hard to be a poet
But you became a poem

To let all of my love flow free
Would be to unleash a tempest
That I don't think anyone can handle
Quite yet
So I'll remain a single raindrop
In the storm of emotion
And shower you with my love
Little by little

I never told anyone about us
So for now I'll just hide you away in my poetry

We are all nothing more
Than stars with names

My pen breaks through the paper
The burden of my words
too heavy for it to bear

Eat
Sleep
Think about you.
Going
too fast
I'm falling for you.
They tell me you're toxic
I know that it's true
Hell, I'm in trouble
I don't know what to do.

Don't tell me you know what it's like
until you can see everyone around you breathing
but your lungs are burning
from the lack of air.

Eyes wide,
face is blue
surrounded by air
I'm a parachute.

Their love was so simple
But it was killed
By their over thinking

Tell me all of your
Deepest
Darkest
secrets
And then I will prove to you
That you are still worth loving

Do not fall in love with a poet
If their lifestyle will grow old
Do not fall in love with a poet
If you do not want your story told

Every molecule
Every part of me
Aches for you

How is it that
You have broken my heart
A thousand times over
Yet the sound of my name
Rolling off your tongue
Makes me weak in the knees?

How do I get over you
When you're all I can think about?

Your voice bounces off the walls
In a way that's so terrifying
The devil himself runs back to hell

Loving you is like drinking sweet wine
that's secretly laced with cyanide.
It's killing me slowly, softly, sweetly.
Oh so cruel but yet so easy.

Stupid girl, fairytale endings don't exist.

You stand at the top of the diving board
we all ask you to come down
but I've found that you can't save someone
who is convinced that they should drown.

I miss you like the desert misses the rain.
You are nothing but a mere whisper of a memory.

And I love you
The way that poets love 2 AM.
For they provide muse and memories otherwise forgotten.

I really miss what we never had

Do you want me willing to live for you
Or willing to die for you?

The other day
my mind had a hiccup
Memories of you
flashed before my eyes
And then vanished.
Barely there
But noticeable enough
To make my heart ache.

Wonderful
Infuriating
Lovely
Lively

The other day you knocked me down
with your harsh words etched in stone
as I let the rocks cut into me
My thoughts screamed
you're alone
you're alone
you're alone.
