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

The Earth's tears cover the trees
in the forbidden courtyard
where everything
even time
stands still

One of the most cruel things
You can do to a person,
Is make them fall
Without meaning to catch them.

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

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

I needed a little rain
So that I could dance,
But now I'm drowning in it.

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.

I’ve resorted to making wishes on dandelions
For miracles
I know
Will never come

Dear fierce,
and little warrior.
The battle you are fighting
will not be won overnight
and your sword is so heavy.
You deserve to put it down;
you deserve to rest.

Deep blue sea
What have you done to me?

And when your demons
Are stealing the air
From your lungs
I will put my mouth
To yours and breathe
Life into you

My scars run deep.
Memories of pain etched
Where the metal kisses skin.
Even though the pain
Doesn’t seep,
The guilt flows heavy
With the red waves
And shame wraps it’s arms
Around me like a blanket
As I stand gripping the scissors
Willing the world to just
Stop

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

Oh my,
You have no idea
How much you mean to me.
You saved me,
Losing you would
Destroy me.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Don't give up on her.
If you give up on her,
She will give up on her too.

No.
Oh my god.
No.
Just breathe.
You'll be fine.
You're not alone.
I promise
You are not alone.
I can't do it
Without you.
Please.
I need you.
Don't let go.
I love you
So



Much.

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

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

Maybe one day I can stop simply dreaming of happiness
and find it for myself.

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

You are not driftwood, so don't go with the flow.

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.

Some people get drunk through
Alcohol
Through other people's love,
The intimacy of a kiss.
I get drunk off of
The poetry you speak.

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

Will my feet ever touch solid ground?
Or will I be walking on eggshells
For the rest of my life.

I put my hand on my chest
Where my heart used to beat
The drum that it played
So soft and so sweet
Now it’s lefty empty
So hollow and cold
Just whispers of memories
Of the stories once told
The foundation is crumbling
The walls starting to crack
So I’ll just close my eyes
And let the world fade to black

Empty is not always
Not feeling anything anymore.
Sometimes
It's feeling so much
But having no more tears
To shed

You peeled back
all of the layers of my existence
to reveal cracks
in my weathered being.
My soul eroded and destroyed
from the harshest of rains
and the most unforgiving storms

Every molecule
Every part of me
Aches for you

I didn't realize
How long I had walked
Through life numb,
Until you came along, and
Suddenly,
I felt
Everything

I want to remind you of the sun,
Its light will come again,
And no matter how dark it seems to get
The darkness always ends.
And I know it may seem impossible
Like it will forever go on
But I'm telling you the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn.

"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've always been a thunderstorm
and you say you're not fairweather,
but darlin' why is it when I come around
you always panic for your umbrella?

Stupid girl, fairytale endings don't exist.

You don't believe in fairytales
you don't believe in magic
and maybe that's the reason why
you think everything is tragic.
But if you lifted up your chin
and you looked up to the sky
you'd remember all the beauty
it's just hidden in disguise.
There is beauty in the light
there is beauty in the dark
there's still so much beauty in you
it just needs to be resparked.
So maybe if you started to believe
In things like Peter Pan and Wendy
maybe you'd begin to see
that life's still filled with magic and happy endings.

Somebody help me 'cause I cannot breathe
falling for you knocked the wind out of me.

Let's lay under the moon
As the stars fall from the sky.

Abandoned by one family,
Losing another,
Hellopoetry
Is the only family I have left.

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

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

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

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

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

Bruises and scars.
My fists are hard
the walls are harder.
