Little things
Lou Feb 2020
A tragedy miles of time away,
The anguish almost forgotten,
But pain is a stubborn stain,
Counselling never washes it away,
Like a stubborn ****
It is always there,
Rooted in composted memories,
Finding nourishment in the briefest recollections.
The slightest trigger allowing it to briefly blossom.
When you have experienced a trauma that leaves you with ptsd any little thing can be a trigger .

All in your head
Lou Feb 2020
They tell you to never look back,
To be afraid of what you would find,
But maybe they just don’t want you to know,
What you running froms  all in your mind

Nightmares
Lou Mar 2020
My nightmares fill the air
The demons running free
Fingers tugging at my hair
Ruining what I might be
Terrified and yet amazed
Frozen solid in this place
Standing still inside a cage
Yet by nightmares being chased.

Scars are tattoos
Lou Feb 2020
Scars are like memories,
and tattoos.
when you fall,
when your heart breaks,
and when your best friend turns their back on you.
it leaves scares that hurt every time you think about it.
it's a memory that will stick
in your head.
it's in the past but it comes back and bites.
it's a tattoo because it's a memory
that hurts,
but doesn't disappear.
It never does.
When you see it so vividly,
you sometimes regret what led you
to the scar that is a memory
that leaves an imprint in
your life's history.

My first high
Lou Feb 2020
My first high
Take me back
to my first high,
to the first time,
that he and I,
sparked a bit,
of indica,
bloodshot red eyes,
take more hits,
to revisit,
before we split,
And life changed in a blink of an eye
take me backwards,
reverse time,
to my brother and I,
to my first high.
Life can change in a blink of an eye, so live everyday like it’ll be the last.

Stargazing
Lou Feb 2020
His dark eyes
held,
galaxies in them,
But she didn’t mind,
Because she loved stargazing

Alone
Lou Feb 2020
Inside of your mind and body
A numbing occurs
You feel shallow
So shallow
Like a lowering tide
As if the oceans will dry up
Forcing you and the fish to choke on air

But at least you'll have something in common right ?

Pain
Lou Feb 2020
It hurts
They don’t tell you that it hurts,
That your chest gets too tight and aches,
And your lungs gasp and scream for air,
While your throat stings and your eyes swell,
And burn from scalding tears,
That you can’t stop no matter how much you want too.
They don’t tell you that your muscles scream the next day from tensing up so much,
They don’t tell you that there’s no way to stop them,
They don’t tell you that they don’t just affect your body they overtake your mind.
Every fear, every small worry magnified until they’ve grown into a panic crushing you under its weight.
It weighs so heavily on you all day
There’s pain in your heart, in your mind, until it finally goes away, not today not tomorrow next week or month but slowly with time

— The End —
