The last Poet Jul 17
I'm always the one
listening intently
Keeping eye contact
Listening tensely
Everyone else stopped
Your eyes wonder to me
A smile
I'm still listening gently
I like to be the one
Listening patiently
Making sure you're not left out
Because I know when I speak
I'm forgotten about
I'm here, and I'm listening
Don't you worry
Go back to sleep
You'll always know
Where I will be
In you're dreams
While you're fast asleep
You're never alone
Go back to sleep
Dreamland
This tense desire
A built in fire
Ready to be released
Burning passion
I don't expect you
to understand.
I try to explain
But you say
that I'm vain

Thinking of myself
all of the time

I'm stuck in my
own head
Screaming
Crying

I know you'll never
Understand...
Mirror mirror
On the wall
Will they love me
After all?

Mirror mirror
On the wall
Will I ever love me
Once and for all.
I still feel it
The whispers in my ear
The demon on my shoulder
Hiding behind my hair

Whispering sweet evils
Deniying that he's there

I feel it creeping in
The doubt from deep within
The demon on my shoulder
Whispering to give in
The last Poet Jun 19
I am both
The best
And
The worst parts
Of you
I am you
And
You are me
There is no me
Without you
And
No you
Without me
We are one
And
the same.
Mother and daughter
