The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
We are
two
broken
souls
bandaging each other's scars
kissing the bruises
on each other's skin
teaching each other
how to fly
but accepting
that we might never learn
and so we fall
together
into the great abyss.
The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
I am wandering off again
slipping away
and my thoughts cluster
into these thick dark clouds
hanging over me
never leaving me
holding back the sun
I so desperately seek.
The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
Don't make me fall in love
if you aren't there to catch me.
Don't make me cry
if you aren't there to wipe away my tears
and tell me everything will be alright.
Don't make me think about our future
if you aren't planning to be there.
Don't make promises
if you don't want to keep them.
Don't say you love me
if you don't really mean it.
Just don't.

I am drowning
soaking in these clothes
that are too loose
wrapped around my broken body

I want someone to pull me out
but they never do
so I drift off
from everyone
slowly
slipping
away
until...

Every day
Every night
The lights go out
I lose my mind
Every day
Every night
The sun comes up
It makes me blind
Every day
Every night
No one to hold
Or by my side
Every day
Every night
I hold back the tears
Coming from my eyes
Every day
Every night
I close my eyes.
The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
I can't handle
falling in love
because without you
I am only falling
crashing
breaking
burning
and my demons tell me
I am not good enough
not pretty enough
not skinny enough
and they don't stop
until you're with me
and tell them
to go away
so baby
please
stay.

Listen to your demons
who say
every bite
every calorie
every pound
count it
count it
count it
STOP.

Now listen to your heart
which says
every smile
every compliment
every accomplishment
count them
a hundred times harder
because they are the ones that should define your life
define you.
The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
As you lit up your cigarette
your promises went up in flames

Smoke has filled your lungs
drugs have scarred your soul

What can I do?
What should I do?

Are you okay?
Are you alright?
Is what is keeping me awake at night

I am so scared
so ******* scared

I love you so much
but I can't be with someone
that feels like a maybe
someone who doesn't love me enough
to stop destroying their own future
and thereby destroying a chance of mine.

You didn’t want to see
You were blind for my imperfections
You were deaf
for all the negative perspectives
I saw myself in
Gave them a different sound
I wasn’t lost
but found
You didn’t love my flaws
You believed I had none
You painted a different picture of me
A better one
You are a great painter honey
but not a realistic one
therefore
You fell in love with the woman
I want to be
instead of the woman I am
You fell in love with the potential of me
But I am afraid
I am the one who is blind
to my own potential
Deaf
to the positive perspectives
people see me in

Suddenly
you opened your eyes
the next minute
you were
gone.

The tears you cry
on the inside
the tears
you won’t show
are weighing you down
the weight of your misery
is too much
I wish you would step into the rain
with me
and let it all go.
The Poetic Fairy Jan 2019
Your sadness
your joy
your laughter
your tears
your hope
and your fears

give them to me
and I'll show you mine

let me get to know
the real you
the one you are
when no one's watching
when you are all alone
the you
you are
for you
alone

because when you can't be
the you
you are
I can't give you
the me
I am.
The Poetic Fairy Feb 2019
You’ve
*******
Hurt
Me
Again
Today
You broke my trust
Took me for granted
You made me feel worthless
Like it doesn’t matter to you
What I think
Or what I feel
You just selfishly do
What the ******* want to
Without thinking of who you’ll hurt
In the process

I walked away
and I needed you to come after me
But you didn’t
And I wasn’t brave enough
(Unfortunately) fortunately
To take the train
Home
I couldn’t move
I Just stood there
Frozen

Then you texted me
And you came
Only when I asked you to
Fight for me
You took me in your arms
And that is when I realized
Maybe I give too many chances
Or maybe I just ******* love you
too much

I wish I had the courage
To walk away
I wish I was brave enough
To let you go
You’re going to keep hurting me
And I’m going to let you.
The Poetic Fairy Dec 2018
You’re everything
they warned me about

Beautiful but painful
handsome but destructive
you’re slowly destroying me
because you can’t see
what you do to me

I am bleeding
everywhere
all the scars
they all lead back to you

I am trying to heal
but you keep ripping me open
every time
you leave

I am reaching for your heart
but it is wrapped in barbed wire
and it hurts so much
loving you

can’t you see
I will always put you first
and that is why
I am afraid
you’ll be the death of me.
