Confessions of the washed up

Abi Sweeney Jun 2016

Confessions of the washed up

I used to be a wanna be poet
Then words stopped coming to me easily and eventually I laid down the pen.

Maybe one day I'll wake up and remember how good it felt to string together words.

Overcoming

Abi Sweeney Nov 2014

Overcoming

Happiness is many things,
But one thing it is not is you.

Because I don't need you to have happiness
And you don't need me to have happiness

And all of this means nothing
But saying it means everything.

Tales of the Depressed

Abi Sweeney Jun 2014

Tales of the Depressed

Don't forget to be happy while you're down there being miserable about something that doesn't even have any shred of significance in your life.

The Feelings of Being Alone

Abi Sweeney May 2014

The Feelings of Being Alone

If I was dying
I would have no one
to call and whisper
my last words to.

How lonely.

Constantly screaming never any silence.

I always ask them to shut the **** up but they don't listen to me.

Always saying nasty things always trying to control me.

Why won't they just leave me alone for one **** night.

One drink, two drink.... **** they are just getting louder.

One pill, two pill..... finally I'm asleep.

Why are you here let me sleep.

****** you're good. There is no escape.

Constantly screaming never any silence.

It's all about the chase

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

It's all about the chase

Sleep is running
away from me
I can't seem
to catch up

Gasping for air
I can't catch
my breath

It's a constant
struggle but its
a struggle I
embrace with
open arms

For I know
when I do
sleep...
Ill be so tired
Ill get to have
endless dreams
of you

Nicotine and Heartache

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

Nicotine and Heartache

Sitting on the porch
cigarette smoke swirling
all around.
The darkness is only lit by
hundreds of fireflies
and that little burning ember.
I remember you reaching
for my hand, electrifying.

"Look into my eyes"
I could tell you wanted
me to see something.

I remember like it was yesterday.
Endless pools of suffering with
so much amount of heartache
I could almost feel the daggers
in my chest.

I only want you if you're damaged
I haven't got the time to figure out where all of your faults are.
I want to see them clearly displayed all over
Your body.

Everything and more

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

Everything and more

The taste of you on my lips
The weight of you pressing up against my body

Clothes strewn from the door to the bed
Warm hands slowly moving from one place to the next

Everything is so fast, yet so slow
We are one, yet two separate people

Entangled in the sheets
we are dancing a dance only two lovers know

Getting Ready

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

Getting Ready

It's so simple really.
It all starts the night before.
Endless crying for no particular reason.
Followed by terrible thoughts that won't recede.
Finally I close my eyes and sleep.

I wake up and lay staring at the wall.
I tell myself to get up its a brand new day.
I cry some more.
I don't want to go through another **** day.

I get out of bed and look in the mirror.
I hate everything I see.
I get in the shower to try and wash everything away.
I get out of the shower and try the mirror again.
I still hate everything I see.

I throw on my clothes.
It doesn't matter I look bad in everything.
I look in the mirror again.
I just start crying.

I go to leave the house.
"I'm forgetting something" I say.
Oh yeah, I put on my smile.

*I'm ready

I don't think you would be as handsome
If I couldn't see your pain in your eyes

I love looking at broken things and
Appreciating all the cracks
that have been left behind

The Demons in the Dark

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

The Demons in the Dark

I lay in complete darkness
Waiting for the demons to get me.

"Come on darling."
I hear them say.
"Just close your eyes and let us in."

I just start crying because I know
I can't ever beat my demons.

They always win.

Tattoos

Tattoos

Oh**
I love the feeling of metal pressing into my skin.
You think its an awful thing, but all I see is a beautiful *sin.

I was looking at my tattoos and though about all the people that think badly about them.

Endless nights of no sleep with meaningless thoughts.
Sure I could say it was all wasted time.

I'd do anything for you though.
Even if it meant never closing my eyes again.

wishes

Abi Sweeney Apr 2014

wishes

Under the stars is when you look the best
I love looking at the world shine down on you
Revealing all your imperfections

You are the reason that my wishes never come true
Because you are everything that I wish for
When I wish upon a star

Wasteful-WonderLand

Abi Sweeney Mar 2014

Wasteful-WonderLand

"My mind is a beautifully terrifying wasteland.
Wont you come and take a peek?
You might enjoy it more than you think,
Or maybe just maybe
You'll get lost in the misery that is me.."

"You're scared you say?
Its okay I was scared at first too..
But then it slowly consumed me,
Gradually dragging me under.
So far under I could no longer see
What was me."

"So you see,
Either you accept what you see,
Or you can come a little closer.
Step inside this WonderLand"

"How do you do that you ask?
Ha, cost of admission is one kiss
of death."

"So, What will it be?"

Soul-less

Soul-less

Pull out a mirror and look at your soul.
You probably cant see anything through all that filth.
