And suddenly it was like
I couldn't Breathe.

I wish I could hold you in my arms
Late at night
And whisper I love you,
The moon and stars the only witnesses

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

The water rushes over her feet
And carries her away
On this dark
And stormy day
And her friends
They scream and shout and cry
As she tells
The world goodbye

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

There are days when it will be hard,
Getting out of bed will seem impossible,
Breathing will seem like a battle,
You'll want to just curl up and die.
On those days, you must remember
How far you've come.
How much further you have to go,
And all of the people that will love you
In between

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.

We all need saving sometimes.
You saved me,
Let me save you.

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.

Some see weeds,
I see flowers.

If I could go back
I would

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

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.

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

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

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?

You were one of the best things,
And I ****** it up.
So I'll numb my mind,
With whatever it takes.
Even if it kills me.

What happened to the little girl
The one who dreamed of fairytales
What happened to the little girl
Who played make believe
Who wanted to grow up to be an
Astronaut?
What happened to the little girl
Who thought the world to be a magical place
Who dreamed of reaching the stars and keeping
Them in a jar to light her way
Who dreamed of prince charming on white horses
Well she now lies in bed with tears streaming down her face
Begging to die.
She now paints pictures on her skin with a metal paintbrush
She's more broken than she is beautiful.
She no longer dreams of stars and fairytales
Now her only happily ever after is

Death

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

I don't want kisses on the lips.
Kiss my forehead instead.
I don't want movie dates
I want walks in the rain.
I want nights on the couch
Curled up with you.
Reading poetry
And drinking tea.

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

Think of all the things we could accomplish
And all the things we could be
If we stopped seeing life as a competition
And started believing and working
Together.

So tell me,
Where are we going this time?
Are we both going to fall?
Be madly in love?
Or are you going to be
Just another person
Passing by
With no intention to stay?

You are so full of life
And so full of love.
So full of emotion to share.
Full of smiles and laughs.
He deserves less
And you deserve so much more.

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.

If you could see yourself
Through my eyes,
You would never again
Question your beauty.

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

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

The curtains close
And leave me in suffocating darkness.
My senses shut down
As I scramble for some semblance of safety.
Only once the curtains have lifted
And the light shines through
Am I able to see the extent
Of the chaos and destruction that I’ve created
It’s like a dissociated nightmare
And a lucid front row seat
To the brutal and ugly aftermath

I came to you
with all of my insecurities
tattooed on my soul.
And the words
"I'm sorry"
dripping from my tongue.

You met me with tenderness
patience
and open arms.
and filled me with so much love
that for the first time
I felt safe.

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?

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

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?

Wonderful
Infuriating
Lovely
Lively

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

Will you love me
On the days where I cannot
Love myself?
Will you kiss me
Until my worries fade away?
Will you hold me under the stars
As they fall from the sky?
Will you love me unconditionally
Until we say our last goodbye?

You didn't give me a set of wings,
You simply showed me the beautiful pair
That I had never knew I had.

I'm counting my losses
They are tallied on my skin
But that is not the worst of it
The worst is all within.

Without you
I can be me.
Without you
I can breathe.

I really miss what we never had

These words are borrowed.
They are not mine to keep,
That is why nothing I say
Feels personal
Or real.

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

Wrap yourself up
Nice and tight
So that you don't lose
Any of your broken
Pieces.

Will you write me
A poem?
Something for me to read
When you're gone
And the days get lonely
And the nights become long?
Will you write me
A poem?
For when I cannot Love myself?
Will you write me
A poem
To show that you care?
So that we can last until the end
Of time
As words
On paper.

Writers block is such a *****.

I try to chose my words carefully because
One wrong word can change
The whole meaning of the
Cranberry.

They covered the yellow brick road.

You are beautiful,
You are breathtaking
You are quirky,
You are funny,
You are unique,
You are awkward.
You are weird
You are loveable.
You are you,
And you is pretty
Damm spectacular.

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

You wondered if it was because
You weren't enough.
But I wish I could shake your shoulders
And say,
You were more than enough
So full of life.
You were too much for his small mind
To handle.
