Her bones break
and
her body shakes,
trying to figure out
how much more she can take

Now we've faded away
Into yesterday's
Fairytales.
But I know the reality
You'll be just fine without me.
While I spend my days getting
Wasted.

Stupid girl,
A boy like him
Could never love a girl like me

You were the last thing tethering me here

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I don't think that I
Can live without you.

Sometimes I get lost.
I want someone to
Help remind me
Of who I really am

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

I find it interesting
That I write almost nothing
But goodbye poems on
A website called
HELLO Poetry.

I would try to count the stars
If that would show you what you mean to me
I'd carve your face into the moon
For the whole world to see.
I'd cross the Sahara in search of water
If that will make you mine
I'll steal all the clocks in the world
And with them I'll stop time
For you I'll drive all night long
If that would make you smile
And hell if it came down to it
I'd walk thousands of miles.
I'll write you poem after poem and song after song
And I'll make them quite sappy
Or I'll make them dead serious
If that would make you happy.
I don't care what I have to do
I just want you to know
My life changed for the better
The second you said hello

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.

If only you knew how many times
I typed those three little words,
And then deleted them before hitting send

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

and when i see you
with your new love as i pass by
the smile and the laugh
of a man that was once mine
maybe that's just how all of this
is supposed to be

I think of our life
and how special our love was
I worry no time can heal
the loss of what was once ours
I just pray to god that
you won't forget about me.

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.

As the butterfly fades
So does my promise.

If I ever saw you again
I would say
I'm sorry.
For everything that I've done.
But since I know I won't
I'll just scatter the words
In poems that I know
You'll never read.

You peeled back all of the rotten layers of my existence
Until I laid bare before you
And you planted kisses on my skin
And in those moments I felt seen
I felt understood
I felt loved

She has a heart as deep
As the Marianas trench,
And a soul as blue
As the waters within it.

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

Our souls intertwine
Differently now.
My heart beats
Differently now.
Your presence feels
Different now.
Everything
Is
Different
Now.

"Why do you always make funny faces in the mirror?"
She asked me.
I wanted to say
So that I can actually look at myself,
I just smiled and said "cause it's fun"

I am addicted to sadness
But I really need to let it go
But it's tied a brick to my foot
And it's pulling me into the darkness below.

Someone,
help me.
Please.
They've replaced my blood
with anesthetics,
I
CAN'T
FEEL
ANYTHING

I cannot tell,
Is my world falling apart
Or falling into place.

It’s an odd thing
You know
Having a front row seat
To my own self destruction.
Being so mentally broken
Yet so painfully self aware

Why do I love you
Why do I care
You’ve destroyed me completely
Yet you call and I’m there.

She is a beautiful flower
soaking up the light,
standing nice and tall,
when the days are nice and bright.
But sometimes days are gloomy grey
and there's hardly any light at all,
and those days are the ones
where she doesn't stand as tall.
But when the clouds begin to part
and all the dark has gone away,
that little flower stands stronger and taller
with each new bright and sunny day.

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.

Why do you do it?
He asked her,
To which she replied,
So I can feel something.

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

It’s late, and I can’t sleep.
I’m thinking about the way your
hand always felt so weightless in mine,
but the absence of it—of you—
feels so heavy.

It’s late, and I can’t sleep.
I’m thinking about the way
the beat of your heart
and the waves of your breathing
created a rhythm just for my soul.

It’s late, and I can’t sleep.
I’m thinking about the way
the skin crinkles at the corners of your eyes
whenever you smile or laugh.

It’s late, and I can’t sleep
Cause now I sleep alone
And the bed feels so cold

It’s late
And I can’t sleep

Everything was black and white,
And then I saw you in colour.

And as I tumble through the pages
Of my favorite books,
I fantasize of a better place;
Of a life that isn’t mine;
One where I am courageous
And strong
And unbreakable.
I fantasize of a place
Where I am the heroine
Instead of the villain
In my own story.
I fantasize of this place
And pray for that world to swallow me whole

I think I love you,
And I'm not going to lie,
That absolutely terrifies me.
What do I do?

My life is a never ending desert
And you, you were a beautiful lake
Right in the middle of it

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

I would trade in all my years
For just 2 more minutes in your arms.

So let's curl up on the couch
I'll grab my ukulele
And play you pretty songs,
While you sing along

from the first date we went on
i knew that i loved you
adventures awaited
we shared all of the best views.
i think of our memories
and how they're a full lifetimes worth.

and since you've been gone
i've lost all motivation
the house that i live in
rests on shaky foundation
your love was the last thing
truly keeping me down on this earth.

And as time passes on
i know you'll forget all about me
the love that we shared
just a whisper of memory
you'll move on with your life
and leave me behind in '24

we had plans for our future
and the rest of our lives
ready to take on the world
and whatever problem arise
it just kills me to know
that I can't call you mine anymore

I was dying of thirst
And the words
I love you
Poured out
From the fountain of your lips
So I greedily consumed them
Like they would be
My salvation.

Life is a locked door,
but I can't seem to find my key
labeled "happiness".

Things have changed so much
In the last few weeks,
That I'm starting to wonder
If that night was all in
My dreams.

Please do not get close to me
Because I fear that if you do,
You'll decide that I'm not worth your time
And I will lose you too.

It’s getting late now
So pull me in tight
Whisper I love you
And kiss me goodnight
Before you go

Will you remember me
When you go away
Cause I was kinda hoping
that you would stay

Won’t you stay my dear
I promise it’s worth it
We’ll be together
Like it’s the last night of the earth yeah
We’ll sit and watch as the stars explode
But they’ll never shine as bright as your soul
And I promise that I’ll never let you go

It’s getting late now
So let’s look to the sky
Make wishes on airplanes as they
Float on by
I’ll run away
The moment you say so
Just take my hand
I don’t care where we go

Won’t you stay my dear
I promise it’s worth it
We’ll be together
Like it’s the last night of the earth yeah
We’ll sit and watch as the stars explode
But they’ll never shine as bright as your soul
And I promise that I’ll never let you go

So don’t change your mind
We’ll leave this town behind
So don’t change your mind
We’ll leave this town behind

Won’t you stay my dear
I promise it’s worth it
We’ll be together
Like it’s the last night of the earth yeah
We’ll sit and watch as the stars explode
But they’ll never shine as bright as your soul
And I promise that I’ll never let you go

Perfect lips
Speak perfect lies
Painting perfect pictures
Of perfect lives.

Oh me, oh my, taken these broken wings and fly.

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

One of the most
Tragic words
Lingering. Between hope
And hopelessness
Of yeses and noes
