I can see it in your eyes
And I can taste it in your lips
I feel it on your wrists
Why are you in such pain?

She was otherworldly
He saw that now
As silver blood gushed
From the **** in her side
The light left her eyes
And joined the stars
There was nothing he could do
How was he supposed to save the queen of a world he’d only heard her speak of?
How was he meant
To save a dying goddess?

It was plain for anyone to see
That you and me
Was a terrible idea
Seems you cannot
Build a relationship
Simply off of love.

We tend to think
That our body
Is who we are

But truly
We are simply
A brain

Being slowly
Suffocated
In this body

Kisses were stolen among the
Shelves of the  library

The spines of books the only witnesses
to clumsy yet ardent mouths

They watched, standing as silent sentinels
As we fell deeper into the web of each other

I’m sick doctor.
I’m love sick,
And you’re
The cure

Poetry is not about
How many words
You write
But rather
What words
You write

I hear you crying sometimes
Muffled cries of agony
When feeling in itself is a crime
During the darkest of nights
When silence is the loudest sound
And black is all that’s in sight
Do not hide your tears
For I will always
Be here for you, my dear

Please
Don’t
Lie
To
M
E

How can you
Expect me to breathe

When your presence
Permeates the air around me

Hate is bred from love
That’s what makes
This world of ours
As miserable
As it is

I didn’t realize
I had fallen in love
Until I noticed
My eyes straying
From the clouds
And onto you

I’ve spent so long
Chasing after who
I thought I was
Suppose to be

That I didn’t realize
I left who I was
Behind

Sometimes the masks we wear
Aren’t the ones on our faces
But the ones on our heart

Lucky for me
He always had the habit
Of working his way in

If you don’t see the damage
Then the damage doesn’t really exist
Does it?

How lucky I am
To have someone
Who makes
Saying goodbye
So hard

Can we be best friends in love dear
Can we grow old together?
I wanna be by your side for the years and years to come
Can we fall like feathers
Falling softly for one another
I wanna be here for you through the good and the bad my love

-Abbey Glover

Should I hang in there
For just one more day?

When I met you
It felt as if all of time
S

P
P
E
D
Except for my heart
Which seemed to
Be speeding up

Sometimes it doesn’t matter
What you know
For what you feel
Seems to take over

You were the glue that held us-
That held everything together
You kept together
These fragile paper hearts
So when you left
Everything

They tell me that
I don’t need someone
To fix myself

They are wrong
For until I find you
I am still only

Half
Of
A
Person

She dreamed of a castle
Buried in white
Shining crystals hanging
And ice cold snow
As far as she could see

She ran down the hall
Feet thumping across
Cold stone floors
And threw open
The castle door

Clutching her heart
She fell onto
The stinging ice as
Despair overtook her
As she realized

She  
Was
All
Alone

You’re strangely endearing in a way

Hold on just a little longer
Hold on just a little tighter
Don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on us

For daybreak is sure to come
And with it sunlight
That can pierce through
Even the darkest of nights

Hello, Goodbye
Together, Alone
Content, Depressed
Alive, Dead

They seem to
Blend together

Was there ever
Really a difference?

Go straight
For 2.1 miles
On Content Lane

Turn right on
Stressful Blvd
Careful for bumps!

Take a left onto
Mental Illness Road
It's a steep ride for sure

Now turn onto
Suicidal Lane
Known for accidents

You have reached
Your destination

The sky isn’t the only thing crying tonight

I loved my books
And I loved nature
And of course
I loved no one
Not even myself
And it’s a pity
That I can’t
Seem to stop
Myself from
Loving you

I let out a sigh of relief
A little dizzy from holding my breath
Breathing sure is a chore around you!
