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

Don't be afraid
To colour outside of
The lines

How do I get over you
When you're all I can think about?

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.

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

We were the perfect couple,
We were like a match.
We burned bright
And strong,
And faded fast.
Nothing but a mere whisper
Of smoke
Left behind.

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.

She was an entire universe
In a single soul
But all he saw
Was a planet

The thing about pain,
is it never goes away,
but with one single tiny pill
you can escape it for a day.

Sometimes I stop and ask myself,
was the poetry worth
the pain
in the end?

As I stand,
Staring out at the edge of forever,
Death approaches
Welcoming me home
With open arms
To a bed of eternal ease
And weightlessness.
All that’s left to do
Is let go

I am forever walking a tightrope
Between feeling nothing
And feeling everything.
I don’t know what’s worse,
Drowning in a sea of endless despair
Or never feeling the rain
Cleanse my soul again.

As the smoke clears
I am left with the perfect image
Of the destruction I caused.
Here the air is heavy,
The weight of my mistakes
occupies all of the space in my lungs.
And tonight,
As I stand alone,
The urge to etch my flaws
Into my skin
Overwhelms me.
It craves the kiss of cold metal.
I am fighting a never ending battle
And my body keeps the score.

Tonight
I stood in front of the mirror
Bottle in hand
The world as blurry as my feelings.
Someone please help me

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

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

I wonder if the reason
Stars are so powerful is because
They are made of our atoms,
We feel so many emotions,
All of those emotions in one place
Must cause a lot of power
Or maybe we are powerful because we
Are made of theirs

The same lonely walls
Sterile rooms
And dead eyes

Saw a couple today,
Younger than me,
With promise rings on their fingers.
How truly lucky
Or unfortunate
To find love
At such a young age.

I know the price of this life is steep,
but I have promises to keep.

When the storms rage
Don't be afraid
for I will am here
Until the end of
Our days.

Rain is proof that
Sometimes even the strongest things
Need to let things go.

Come outside with me
and we can stand in the rain
it's truly amazing
how it can wash away the pain.
Now look down at your scars
count them while you do
because they are and will remain as proof
of all the times you made it through.

I truly love the rain
and the dark grey skies
I love to sit and watch the Earth
as it gently cries.
It is cathartic
and artistic
it's peaceful.
it's simplistic.

As we watch the rain hit the ground
you ask me "why does it keep coming down?"
With a sad and dull look in your eyes,
one that reflected the mood of the skies,
and I tell you, "The bigger the clouds grow,
The brighter and more beautiful the rainbow"

Not even a long walk in the rain
Could  wash away the disgusting feeling
Your touch left behind.

I wonder how many of us
Would cure our loneliness
And depression,
Heavy nights of silent tears,
If it meant we would never write
A truly heartfelt poem again.

My mom says
"Wear more colour"
If only she knew how red
My hips are
I bet she wouldn't be saying that.

They say the things that you'll regret
are the things you didn't do,
but the one thing I regret the most
is the time I spent with you.

Why do I try so hard
To keep you in my life
When clearly you have no desire
To be in it?

If only I could find the right words
To write the right poem.

I guess it's truly over.
Everything's been said and done.
And it was a scary, winding roller coaster.
But the painful rush was really fun.

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

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

Roses are red Violets are blue
I don't know if I can make it through
Because the roses are wilting the violets are dead
And nothing will silence the thoughts in my head
The sky isn't clear, the sun no longer shines
The blood in my veins is no longer mine
The days are long and as dark as the night
The thoughts in my head no longer happy and bright.
The tears stream down my face and off of my nose
as I cry in the places no one ever goes.
I want it to stop, I want it to end
I don't think I can go through this again.
I can't help but feel that I'd be better off dead
The roses have wilted the violets are dead.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
They say it's addicting now I know that it's true  
But the roses are wilting the flowers are dead  
My hands are shaking and my hips are lined red

I've never seen a soul
Shine as bright as yours
You could give the stars
A run for their money.

It's the kind of sadness  
That shuts your throat,
That makes you feel sick.
It makes it hard to breathe
But you will survive.

I like sad things.
Sad things make me happy.
Sad things make me feel
Less alone

Be careful
Some times it's hard to tell salt from sugar,
I have found,
People are like that too.

We lock ourselves in high towers
Out of fear of someone hurting us again.
We build a moat and push everyone away
And then wonder why no one comes to save us

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

He stripped down
All of the layers
Protecting my heart and soul
And then left.
I'm lost, scared
And I don't know what
To do.

Some scars will last forever
as stories written on our skin,
They tell the stories of our past
and all the places you have been.
They were left there for a reason
to remind you that you're strong
for all those cold, hard, bitter days
when it gets harder to go on.

Remember the nights we got drunk on moonlight
And shared secrets
But I sit here alone
With heart heavy as stone
And so many regrets.

My heart has been shattered into a million pieces
And I'm still looking for the piece
That has your name written on it

She lives and breathes
Poetry and that
Is why she walks around
With a constantly broken
Heart.

You are a shining star
dancing in the night
there's so much power in you
that's why you burn so bright,
but sometimes clouds roll over
and block out all your shine
but don't worry they will break soon
you just have to give it time.

Show me you care,
Because I'm starting to feel
Like nothing to you.
