You Weren't Love
Ailsa Jul 2019
You say you love me,
But love is what you didn't give me.
You were not love,
You were lust,
I was love.
I was supposed to be your light.
But you blew me out.
Now I'm all alone,
Asking myself,
If you were really the one,
If you were really love.

sunsets
Ailsa Nov 2018
The best kind of sunsets I think,
Are the ones that turn the whole world pink.
The ones that seem to make my soul,
Feel like it's been dipped in gold.
The ones that I can watch for hours,
Staring at the sun as it cowers.

For the Moon
Ailsa Sep 2018
My beacon of hope,
Shining so brightly among darkness.
Beauty that brings me to tears,
Night after lonely night.
Sometimes she leaves
But she will always come back.
And one day,
I will reach up and hold her,
And all that was wrong, will be right

Comfort in the Stars
Ailsa Aug 2018
I find comfort in the stars
Because they do not hold
The ability to leave me
Like so many others have

In the stars
Ailsa May 2018
I see you in the billions of stars
That make up the constellations in the night sky
And I no longer feel alone
But in the morning when I wake
You are no longer there
And I am alone once more
Alone with my thoughts
And one of these days
I think my thoughts might consume me
And I will join you in the stars

Behind the Daisies
Ailsa Apr 2018
You were the type of person who loved dancing in the rain.
Laughter and the smell of daisies followed you everywhere
I don't think you owned a sweater that wasn't oversized
You would leave pressed flowers in all of my books, and I still find them today
I never would have imagined how terrible life without you is
If only life came back to people who deserved it, people like you.
No one except for me knew that behind the daisies and the oversized sweaters, you were hurting
You wore the sweaters to hide yourself
You were ashamed
You never wanted anyone else to hurt, so you spent your time fixing others instead of yourself
I tried to help you but I failed
And I hate myself for letting you hurt
I know I musn't dwell on the past, but it's hard when that's the only thing keeping you alive is my mind

Missing you
Ailsa Mar 2018
I miss you
I know I shouldn't
But I do
There's been a storm in my head
Ever since you've left
I don't know what to do
I'm breaking without you
Please come back
And save me
From missing you

— The End —
