I think that we are all made to be alone,
But when we find someone who makes
The loneliness seem less lonely
And the silence a little lighter,
We call it love

In you I found myself
And in you I lost myself

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

I wanted it to be you.

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

Some moments I think I’ll be okay.
Like the earth beneath my feet isn’t shaking
Like my castle isn’t crumbling
Like every fiber of my existence doesn’t belong to you.
But then the earthquakes come
And the waves of emotion ensue
And I’m forced to face the fact
That now I’ll have to cherish the thought of you
For longer than I had you
And I’m forced to face the fact that I will not know The amazing things you’ll do
Nor the amazing person you’ll grow to be
I will no longer know what it’s like
To kiss you
To hug you
To laugh with you
To hold hands with you
To wake up everyday next to you.
To make memories with you

I’ll no longer know what it’s like to grow old with you

You brought me peace
And happiness
And home

Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough
To have you next to me
But for now I'll just have
To keep you in my poetry

And so we hold on,
despite the heartache
we hold on.
Despite the pain
we hold on,
despite the scars
we hold on.
Despite the sadness, and loneliness and tears
we hold on.
Why do we hold on?

We hold on out of hope
that one day things will be okay
we hope.
For the person that we fell in love with to return
we hope
that the mask we fell in love with wasn't really a mask at all
we hope.
that maybe we didn't get ******* over
and that this will be the person who finally loves us for all that we are.

So we hold on to hope, despite it all
thinking maybe
this will be it.

Maybe we were meant to fall together
Maybe we were doomed to fall apart.

I gave you
The whole world,
The sun,
Moon,
Stars.
It wasn't until you left,
And I sat in the sunless days
And the moonless nights,
That I realized you took
Everything
And gave
Nothing.

Some days are good days
Some days are bad days
Some days I simply exist

I don't blame you for not choosing me.
Why choose something broken and damaged,
When you can have something beautiful
And whole instead.

I want to know about
all your battles and wars
And I'll show you my scars
If you show me yours.

Don't forget who you were
Before the world tore you apart.

Don't forget who you were,
Before the world told you
who you should be

You beat my heart to dust
Then used it too make a wish
For the heart of another girl.

It's okay,
Dance with as many people
As you feel you need to in order
To tame your wild soul,
All I ask,
Is you save the last dance
For me.

The worst part about it all
Is that it stings in the shower,
And I'm so sorry, if you're
One of the poor unfortunate souls
Who knows exactly what I'm
Talking about

Being alone
Makes me feel less lonely.

You asked me why I haven't left yet.
I haven't left because you are worth fighting for.
I haven't left because you mean the world to me.
You brought light into a world I thought was doomed to be dark forever.
I haven't left because you didn't give up on me.
I haven't left because I can honestly say,
I think I'm in love with you

You are the perfect song
I've never known how to write
And the melody
I have always been searching for.

I truly think our souls
Are eternally intertwined.
I will find you
And love you
In every lifetime.

I am defeated
As I lay myself bare
I have nothing left to give

If the demons
Are sitting on your lungs
And stealing all the air from you,
I will put my lips to yours
And breathe life back into you.

Every molecule
Every part of me
Aches for you

They say that sometimes
The people who build you up
Are the ones to tear you down,
And the saddest part is,
No one realises it until
It's too late.

When did the world
Start determining
Your beauty?

If you were an artist
How would you sketch me?
With dark colours
But carefree pencil marks?
If you were a writer
How would you describe me?
Would you use sweet words
But meaningful ones?
What do I look like to you?

The sky is crying
And so am I

They say friendship is an unsinkable boat
to those still here I must say "Thanks",
But remember the Titanic was unsinkable too,
but in the end it sank.

It's not what you said,
But the silence you left
That cut through me
Like a knife.

I need to understand
That just because the timing was perfect for me
Doesn't mean it was perfect for you.
And no matter how hard I pray
There may never be a perfect time
For us.

And now,
the only constant in my life
is my depression

Don't let them question you,
But always keep them wondering.

After 16 years,
You'd think he would be able to spell
His own daughters name.

My lips still tingle
Whenever I think about
Our kiss.

I snuck out to see you
Last night.
Romeo and Juliet style.

The first time I met you,
it wasn’t love at first sight.
Instead,
it was a slow melody,
building to the most earth shattering crescendo.

Today is the day
to throw the razors away.
It’s self harm awareness day.
I know that it’s a hard thing to do.
But I know that you can make it through
There are other’s out there that are just like you
I’ll give you a list if it will convince you it’s true
so put down your razors, your scissors your knife
It is just a bad day and not a bad life
Replace those red marks with orange butterflies instead
and remember you are stronger than what’s in your head.
You are strong beautiful and never alone
you are amongst the bravest people I’ve ever known.

I cannot stop the storm
But I will shield you from the rain
I will do whatever I can
To help you ease your pain.

I cannot keep your world from crumbling
But I'll help you start again
And if you need help picking up the pieces
I will lend a hand.

I cannot keep you from walking away
But just know I would love it
If you stayed

I stood there in the rain
Hoping that maybe
It would wash away
All of my memories
Of you.

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

Tell me,
Was my love not enough?
No, of course it was enough,
I loved you with everything I had.
You were just to blind to see it.
And now as your world keeps spinning on
Il be stuck standing still
Waiting for you to come unfreeze me

I would give up 10 years
To go back to that night
And relive being in your arms.

You told me that you loved the rain
I should've known it was a lie
When you realized I am a hurricane
You quickly said goodbye

And suddenly
I was on the verge of
Breaking down for
No reason
At all.

As I stare at the clock
I begin to realize
That time waits
For no one,
If you wanted to spend time
With me,
You would find it.

Oh honey,
you're not strong enough
to handle me.

Life is a locked door,
but somebody stole my key
labeled "happiness".

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

As I saw you there,
Dancing with her,
I felt as if what was left of my heart
Was ripped out
And smashed into a thousand pieces.
