Mock Princess
WickedHope Jan 2015
My skin is so white
Sickly pale
For I am not Snow White


My lips are ruby red
Coated in blood
For I am not Snow White


My head with dark curls
Thoughts not hair
For I am not Snow White


My kindness to animals*
People shun me*
For I am not Snow White
An idea that fell apart when I tried to write it, oh well.

Summer is painful.
WickedHope Apr 2015
Perhaps it's absurd to be this concerned
yet I fret I won't see you again.
And I know it's alright
and just one more night,
but in your eyes I see our end.
The end of your mom's teasing
and your laugh as you shrug her off;
the end of John's timid delight
as we play our noise through the night
in a cautiously curious sound;
the end of your father and me
jeering to hockey --
a sight already rare to be found.
I don't want to miss
the joy and the bliss
in moments you are around.
Call me a child,
immature, naive, or too mild
but your smile is too captivating for rhyme.
It's lame, I know.

All Of Me
WickedHope Oct 2014
part of me* wonders what it's like to smile and mean it
part of me is afraid of everything
part of me doesn't care
part of me has never traveled beyond internal thoughts
part of me misses him
part of me wants to be alone
part of me wishes that were true
part of me will never have a home
part of me lives deep within and hasn't been seen
part of me might risk it all
                      because
all of me  is in love with you
Just some dumb, honest rambling...

Why do I let myself hope anymore,
When I already know what's in store?
**** me.

Have you missed me?
Didn't think so.
Do you remember when you last saw me?
I do.
At least I have our memories, Andrew.

Uncertain & Drifting
WickedHope Mar 2015
When you exhale,
Your breath forms a cloud.
I wish your intent
Was as clear to visualize.

These silhouettes we cast on the wall,
A fading echo of who we are now;
The only reminder you leave with me
Is the smell of you waning on my sheets.
I dunno... (I swear I don't write these.)

As always: some memory, some fiction, mostly truth.

See Me
WickedHope Nov 2014
See me
See me
     I'm shouting
     Whispering
     I want you
     Look at me
     I'm begging
     But I run away
     When a chance presents itself
     I want you to hurt me
     But I don't want to be hurt
     I want you to love me
     But I don't love myself
See me
See me
     I'm so fake sometimes
     But this is real
     I love you
     But no one loves me
     Not even I
     I just want to feel loved
     But I probably wouldn't even
     Recognize love
See me
See me
     This is for you

Let Me Be Plastic
WickedHope Sep 2014
Let me be plastic
Let me be silent for you

I'll be your plaything
I just want someone to care

Let me pose for you
Let me be pictures on your phone

I'll be your plaything
I'll be your anything

Let me live for you
Let me bury myself

I'll be your plaything
I just want to be wanted

Let me wait up for you
Let me be your attendant, servant, slave

I'll be your plaything
I need your love, or lust

Let me be a joke
Let me be false, fake, whatever

I'll be your plaything
I can be your doll on a shelf

Let me be expendable
Let me be used for a while

I'll be your plaything
I can be temporary, I'm used to it
What do you want from me?

Beautiful Boy
WickedHope Oct 2014
You broke my stereotype. Took my normal and replaced it with you.

You were my "puppy", my two a.m., my everything.
You made me laugh when I felt like dying.
You let me cry instead of faking, smiling.
You held me in such a way that I wasn't afraid.

My world didn't make sense until you were a part of it.
Everything I ever showed you you accepted.
You showed me what it's like to be loved.

And you were the most beautiful lie I've ever known.
Thinking about you a lot lately because of your brother, and his drums and piano...
I shall always love you Andrew.
Hope England treats you well if you make it that far (, and I know you will).
WickedHope Jan 2015

WickedHope Dec 2014
I look in your eyes
I can tell when you're lying
I look in your eyes
Your love for me is dying
I look in your eyes
To forget you, I'm still trying
Simply stupid.
Now that he's back I want him to leave.

Spectator
WickedHope Nov 2014
I love to see you run up and down the field
Your body being pushed forward
You are so glorious
I'm sitting here thinking
     I'd willingly turn into a block of ice
     So I could just keep watching you
Silently cheering for you more than you could know
I don't know what it is about watching you play
Muscles taught, face intense
That pushes me to the edge
I could watch you forever
Old piece.
Really terribly written.

Shattered
WickedHope Aug 2014
your innocent perfection
is shattered.
each time i tell a lie
about you,
shouldnt the opposite be true?
i throw away
any remaining aspirations.
what is it worth to be perfect,
if none of it is truth?
how powerful it is,
to be someone’s
sole friend,
and bare a soul
that isn’t yours,
to lie and claim
and make yourself a fake.

you're innocent perfection
is shattered,
with each lie
that you tell, about
the times that you “fell.”
and i can’t believe it,
because,
you are perfection.
i am the shattered.

Unreciprocated
WickedHope Jan 2015
"What's it like to always love,
And never be loved in return?
"
She asked me.

I told her,
"You feel like the sun, a star,
Warm in cold space,
And you can see the other stars all about you,
But you can't reach any of them.

It's like being the last kid picked for the team,
Except you're never picked;
You're a spectator, but not by choice.

You're a kitten in the 'FREE' box,
Abandoned on the side of the road.
A great idea, but not many seem
To actually want you,
Everything you get is pity.
"
Oh, hi. And stuff.
WickedHope Oct 2014
I want to be your light

I want to pretend that I can

But

I can't shine like your night sky

I can't even fake a smile
I wanted to put his poem here because, yeah, I added to it and we made it a piece for us together that I already put here, but I honestly just love his lines so much, far more than mine. If he knew how many times I've re-read this, he'd probably laugh or give me a funny look or something. But, I don't know... he just makes me so stupidly happy. It doesn't even make sense that I can be so miserable, see him, and just want to... grin...
Yeah, well, this is the original poem he sent me on 9/29/2014 at 12:43 A.M. while I was sleeping. (I love waking up to stuff *insert stupid him related grin*)

Get Me The Fuck Out
WickedHope Nov 2014
Get me out
Get me out
Get me the **** out
Of this mental breakdown house

Get me out
Get me out
Get me the **** out
Of this I can hate you more estate

Get me out
Get me out
Get me the **** out
Of this micromanagement apartment

Get me out
Get me out
Get me the **** out
Of this puppet show palace
I'm breaking down.

I only hate myself now.

I can't control anything anymore.

I'm a puppet with broken strings.


Someone please help me.
WickedHope Dec 2015
i miss lying next to someone in the dark staring at the ceiling at two am
i miss breathing in and out and into each other
fragile questions and answers juggled back and forth in a lopsided rhythm that barely makes sense
i miss giving away my heart and having it looked after, and tenderly holding another precious soul in my hands
the loneliness kept at bay by simple faith in each other
i miss having arms to run to when dark skies turn stormy

i miss the promises to never let go
                                 no matter how often they were broken
LAME.
I'm so disappointed in my work of late. :/

don't care?
WickedHope May 2015
The girls say my skin's too pale
          And the boys say my hair's soft
                    But I don't really care either way
The girls say my bones are frail
          And the boys say my spirit's loud
                    But I could care less either way
The girls say my teeth are crooked
          And the boys say my whispers waft
                    But I don't have a care either way
The girls say I should be overlooked
          And the boys say I should be proud
                    But I don't care at all either way

Like You Mean It
WickedHope Sep 2014
If you love me,
Fight for me.

Don't passively consent
To each endless torrent.

Rather than let me walk away,
If you want me to, ask me to stay.

For I've worn my heart on my sleeve,
Now I feel it's time for me to leave.
(I just love couplets.)
I don't see us ever going anywhere,
if you proceed to act like you don't care.
So why should I stick around?

No Longer
WickedHope Nov 2014
I look down at my ragged side
Not for a moment do I regret
What I did last night

I burned with hope
I burned with fear
I bled for both the same
Shedding more and more tears

Somehow I feel real now
Real enough to disappear
Fade into the background
A shadow no longer there
Lying to myself to cope with my ****.
Curing pain with pain.

Who Do I Think I Am
WickedHope Sep 2021
I close my eyes
You stare back at me
Down at me
Like I'm someone
And no one to you
I don't know which
Reality do I belong in
Everything is blurry
You tell me I'm yours
The slap across my face
Guarantees it's true
I open my eyes
The tears sting
As they slide over
The newest bruise
Adding a fresh pop
To the patchwork quilt
You made me
I hate that I want to see you.

I wonder if I should leave
Boy, can't you tell?
You're my heaven,
But I deserve hell.

Rough Love, Tough Hate
WickedHope Sep 2014
They pretend not to see
What he does to me.

He kicks me and I falter,
Kicks me till I fall down.
Shoves me underwater,
Tries to make me drown.

Gets a twisted grin,
Pretends he loves me and I him.

And they wonder what my problem is,
Why I try to slit my hips.
The bruises, because... I fell. You always seem to believe that.

I Do.

I promised I do
But I do not
I do not want to be alone anymore
I do not want to wish for your snores
I do not want to eat alone, drink alone
Pray, cry, scream, fight alone
I do not want to sit in this empty house that no longer feels like home
I do not want to use my hands to hold myself, to touch myself
I do not want to spend time with anyone else
I do not want to wait here for you
I promised I do
But I do not
I do not want to miss you
But I promise I do
**** this ****.
