I thought you were my medicine,
Turns out you were my poison.

I love a rainy day.
It’s the day for lovers
For criers
For readers
For writers.
It’s a day of cleansing
And reset.

For so long
I’ve made plans and spoken of my future
With no intention of getting there.
How nice it is to be reminded sometimes
That life is a beautiful thing
And still worth living

Oh the things we do for love.
We go to war,
We ****,
We lie,
We steal,
We cheat.
But one of the saddest of all
Is we try to be someone everyone else loves
Rather than loving ourselves.

When I feel numb
I long to feel something.
Anything.
But on the days that I feel something
I pray to feel nothing at all.

In the end
It didn't matter
How hard I tried,
How much I loved,
Because it's obvious
That we were doomed
Right from the very start

If I knew this was our last goodbye
There's so much that I would say
I would start by reading you the poem
How you take my breath away.
Then I would say thank you
For not saying goodbye
And when you said you weren't scared of being cut
I started to cry.
Those words meant so much to me
Since I'd lost hope for someone who cared
But to me those couple words
Said if you need me I'll be there.
You made me feel like I matter
And that my many flaws do not define me
When you're around I can be myself
And it makes me feel happy
Your friendship means so much to me
So much more than I can say
And I really hope that this poem
Doesn't scare you away
But roses are red and violets are blue
My world was so ******* lonely
Until I met you

I swear that in that moment
The sun could've been burning out
And I would never have
Noticed.

Why try to fly
when you are always doomed to fall?
Why stand,
if they'll always make you crawl?
Why try
Anything at all?

Just biding time, don't mind me.

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

Someone please tell me
What to do.
I seriously can't take
Any more.
I'm giving up.

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

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

There are three ways pain
changes someone.
It can make them.
It can break them.
Or they can learn
to love the fire.

Everything looks different
when I walk the streets with you.
The grass looks greener
and the sky looks much more blue.

Her eyes were so distant
The look in them sad
Yet so comfortingly familiar

And suddenly it was like
I couldn't Breathe.

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

As I crawled onto your lap,
Our foreheads and noses
Touched.
Eyes closed.
Time froze.
Just you
And me.
And after eternity
Our lips locked,
And fireworks exploded
behind my eyes.
Your lips were as soft
As an angels touch.
Soft and tender.
Loving and sweet.

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.

I inhale pain
And exhale poetry

I once knew a girl
who was tormented by Death
everyday she would battle
for one more breath.
Then a boy came along
who was full of life
"don't give in!" he would say
"don't march to Death's fife!".
"It's hard," she would say
"I can't do it much longer".
"Come on!" he would shout
"I know you can be stronger!"
"You must push on
wipe the dirt from your knees,
don't give up hope
and soon you'll be free!"
So she tried to push on
with Life by her side
looking back on he days
she wished she could die.
So Death pushed her harder
and though life really tried
he could do nothing but watch
the light die in her eyes.
One night while she lay
awake in her bed
Life came to see her,
here's what he said:
"This is Death's game
to see if you'll give in,
but there's so much to live for
you can't let him win!
Just keep moving forward
and hold your head high-"
"But I'm too far gone" She would say
"So why even try?"
"I'll give you a reason,"
Life said with a smile,
"Since the day that I met you,
you've come thousands of miles."
She said, "If it's true,
and there is still hope,
help me out of this hole,
send down your rope."
So life sent it down
and she held on tight
she stopped simply surviving and lived
and realised he was right.
"Congratulations!" Life shouted,
"the game is now done!"
A smile spread over her face
as she shouted "I won!"

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I like pancakes
But crepes are better.

Loving you is killing me
But darling it's okay
Because I wouldn't have it
Any other way.

I've always hated and feared one word
and that word's goodbye
but I'd forgotten what was so bad about it
but then you reminded me why.

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

Pain is a powerful motivator
It motivates me
And my pen
To keep moving forward

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

I
Loved
You

Two words that hold in their hands
the lives of so many people
who are just
barely holding on.

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

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

It was the blooming of madness
that destroyed us all
in the end

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.

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

Water rushes over her body and carries her away
on this dark and stormy day
and the birds they scream, and shout and cry
as she tells the world goodbye.

Remember when we used
To talk all night?
I miss that.

You were a dream come true
To a girl like me.

Join
me
and
watch
our
shadows
dance
as
lights flash
and
the
music
plays.

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.

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

Don't worry dear,
Soon you won't feel the pain,
Soon you won't feel anything
You'll just be
Numb

Teetering on the edge of my existence,
I do not fear death.
As she extends her hand to me
She whispers promises of infinite
peace
And happiness
And nothingness
As I look into her luring eyes
I finally feel at ease
with everything I’d leave behind

Roses are red
Violets are blue,
I **** at poetry,
Hi

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

I tend to lose myself in crowds of people.
A chameleon blending in with its surroundings.
It’s only when I am alone once more
That I can find myself again

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

Won't you tell me,
Do you wish that I
Am yours?
The way that I
Wish you are mine?

The water rushes over her feet and carries her away
on this dark and stormy day
and the birds scream and shout and cry
as she tells the world goodbye.
