God must hate me
If he allowed me to
Fall in love with

Blame

All of this is

✭Star Child✭
unnamed Jun 2019
She is a star child
The way her smile shines so bright
Her pure innocence lights up the room
We all were star children
At some time in our lives
But all stars die out eventually

She was a star child

Doubt
unnamed Jun 2019
You told me we'd get through this
That we'd make it to the end
That you would help me be okay
But time goes on
And things only seem to be getting worst
I don't want to say I don't trust you...
But I'm drowning in doubt

She walks around the city now with the weight of a dead man’s armor on her back.
Sometimes it feels so heavy she can't breathe.
She feels the weight of a dead man’s armor on her back and the weight of a dead man’s memory and she wonders how she’s going to survive this.

"They are dead," he says.
"And you are alive and have been for eons.
When will you stop walking amongst the ghosts?"

200 Miles an Hour
unnamed Jun 2019
I found you slumped on the kitchen floor
Arms wrapped around yourself as you gaze at the tile pattern
It's times like this when I can't tell
What's going on inside your mind
All I can tell is that your thoughts seem to be going
200 miles an hour
Spiraling from one misery to the next
When you notice my stare
You get up claiming to need some air
And what can I do but leave you there?

Love Sick

Rainy Eyes
unnamed Jul 2019
How did you managed to
Trap the night sky in your eyes?
Dark as midnight
Yet bright as the moon
At first they were starry
And when I blinked
They became cloudy
And then they rained
Then the world
Became as dark
As your eyes

Mountains & Valleys
unnamed May 2019
Life is full of mountains and valleys
There is no middle ground
No, "okay" days
No normality
Either have my head in the clouds
Or deep down in hell
And when I try to climb
Halfway up and stop
All I do is
F
A
L
L
The bad days seem
More often than the good
Falling is so much easier
Than climbing

Sleep

I thought sleeping all day
Would stop me from thinking
Yet it couldn't
Keep the nightmares away
unnamed Nov 2019
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

River girl
unnamed Jun 2019
Water pools around her feet
Constant stream of ripples
The river reflects bright light
As the girl sings a sweet melody
I watch from afar
Wishing I could sing along
To the sweet river girl

Strangers

My drowning sobs
As I sink
Down into the
Deep dark sea

Until I noticed

From the clouds
And onto you

Everything was right

Arguments with God
unnamed Jun 2019
Another night in which I find myself arguing with God
As he mutter about how lost my mother is
I tell him, "But my mother hits me"
"She ignores me"
"She doesn't care about me"
And yet he continues with his mutter
Forgetting about my troubles
And all I can do is shout,
"She HATES me!!"
Yet once again he doesn't seem to hear me
I get it
No one does

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

A Fire Within
unnamed Jul 2019
You're not safe here.
Enraveled in the vien's.
Of my heart.
As it chars.
And turns black.
Walls crumbling.
Around you.
Dust clogging.
Your throat.
Your love lit.
A fire within.
But every fire.
Dies out.
And with it.
Comes.
Disaster.

Mobius Strip

I'm stuck in the mobius strip
An infinite loop

U

And just when it looks like the end is near
I'm back where I started
How do I escape this mobius strip?

A sad ditty
unnamed Jun 2019
The wind blew against my face
Whipping dark hair along with it
My toes brushing the ground beneath me
As the swing lightly rocks me back and forth
Holding me in a soothing embrace that my mother never could
As light specks of rain began to speckle the cement
The swings lets out a screech
Metal against metal
And as I rock back and forth
A melody is heard
This little swing set
Seems to be playing a sad tune
For me

Darkest, Dearest
unnamed Oct 2019
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

Indescribable
unnamed Jun 2020
His lashes fluttered open and greeted him with the sight of her laying firmly against him. Golden rays of light peeking through the curtains, illuminating her soft features. He couldn’t possibly resist taking a closer look. So he peered down at her, auburn eyes swimming with an indescribable feeling, one too powerful to simply be described as love. No, it was a feeling that welled up inside him, threatening to burst as he attempted to keep it inclosed behind a smile. It was warm, sometimes fiery and he couldn’t stop himself from coming closer and closer even if he would burn. This feeling was far too powerful to be described with a mere four letter word. He could say he loves her, but no matter how many times he repeated it it could never possibly encompass this sentiment of his. And so, he decided to let it remain unspoken, for, silence speaks louder than words after all.
