begone
A Machele Oct 2013
you litter my mind like a piece of garbage
no matter how far i go or how much i accomplish i am tainted by the thought of you
the memories, the what-ifs, the whys?
in a million years i wonder if i could ever forget you or if you'd still be a bitter taste on my tongue
of all the stars ive chased there still lingers a strange curiosity for your existence
i hope in time it will fade, for the sands of our time are long past
nothing could bring us together again

broken ties
A Machele Nov 2013
dear mom,
what do you see
when you look at me?
because surely
no mother has ever
looked at their daughter
with the disgust
that you have looked at me with
you give your cats
a life of luxury
yet treat your own family
like strangers
in your home
one day
when you are alone
with all of your cats
you will realize
that you once had a family

a lil' piece of my heart
A Machele Jul 2012
a day will come when all is won [one]
and life is filled with love
when dreams aren't dead and plains aren't red,
a revolution has begun!

let's feed the children and the masses as they intertwine,
the knowledge they have craved so long we give to them to find
our news to them is taken well and passed throughout the ages;
hold on to this, dear sweet ones, we've got to pass the stages
of mutiny and tyranny and all the saddest woes
remember you are not alone, together we will go!

forever we shall be lead on, by nothing but the truth
don't follow him, nor her, nor me
to find your destiny.....
for in your heart you hold the key,
to life, love, and *everything

the one
A Machele Nov 2013
one day
i will meet a boy
whose smile
smoothes the creases
in my forehead
whose laugh
soothes my nerves
in every way
whose voice whispers
into even the darkest
crevices of my soul
this boy exists
somewhere
of that i am sure
where, i do not know
but we will meet
in the most
unexpected way
and i will know
his spirit was the one
who was there for me
when no one else was

my soul bleeds
feel me
is it enough
or too much?
endless
the cycle continues
rinse, repeat
rinse, repeat

i don't like making promises because they never keep
steel & bones is the life i will lead
to break down the barriers is more than i could take
somehow, someway, the truth never fakes

youre worth every
ounce of love
that i have to give
but if you don’t want it
at least let me
keep it
for myself

my promise
A Machele Oct 2013
so from now on
i will swallow my words
like poisoned butterflies
that will not flutter
but lay dormant
inside of me
and
every time you see me
bite my lip
i will be thinking
of you
and how happy
not knowing
makes you

pasting on a smile
