I lost myself in a sea of sorrow.
I lost my sense of direction,
I don't know which way is up or down.
I lost the only people I care about because they left me.
I lost the will to get out of this sea.
Alex May 2017
When we were five,
We met for the first time.
You both were always gloating about how you two were one day older than me.
We grew to be great friends
And for the first time in my life,
I felt like I belonged.
We promised that we would be there for each other.
The twins and me.
Always protecting each other.
Always helping each other.
Always saving each other.
Always together.

And now we are fifteen.
And both of you are gone.
A ghost that I can't bring back.
We always said that we would protect each other,
Yet I didn't protect either of you.
We always said that we would help each other,
Yet I never helped you.
We always said that we would save each other,
Yet I didn't save you,
We always said that we would be together,
Yet where are you now?

Now I am fifteen,
All alone in my own world,
Waiting for the day I will join you
And finally feel like I belong again.
This is about two of my dear friends who have died recently...

Love.
What even is the point?
I've been betrayed.
I've been stabbed in the back.
All because love has blinded me from what is really there.
I was told that I was loved,
Yet left the very next day.
It blinded me until I was forced to see the truth.
I don't trust love anymore.
It just plays with my emotions.
Forcing me to love someone,
Knowing that they will leave me.
Alex Mar 2016
A million thoughts
In my head.
All focusing on
You.

A million thoughts
Turned upside down.
All because of
You.

A million thoughts
Sharp as shards of glass
Focused on everything
You have done.
Alex Jul 2016
All I was to you was a
Mistake.
I know that now.
And now,
I'm broken.
A broken mistake.
You were right.
I am a
Mistake.
Alex Apr 2018
I'm staring at a monster.
I don't know what to do.
I'm standing alone with no one to help me.
I must do this.
I must beat this.
For if I don't,
I fear I might die.
This monster is already killing me slowly.
All the words it whispers into my ear.
Fat, Ugly, Worthless.
How am I to beat a monster that is right?
It numbing my emotions to where all I can feel is nothing.
It is destroying me,
But I must destroy it.
This is a mess and not very good, but as I sat here, the words poured out onto the page.
Alex Aug 2016
My illusion,
My Mistake.

You made me think that you were such a nice guy.
Turns out that you were just another guy that hates me.

My illusion,
My mistake.
I'm sorry... This is stupid... I'm sorry...
Alex Aug 2016
My pretty little mask
Hides my face,
Protecting people from my sorrow.

My pretty little mask
Has a smile and bright eyes,
But it's been painted on.

My pretty little mask
Is breaking,
And now hints of sorrow are shining through.

My pretty little mask
Has disappeared
And now there is nothing left to protect anyone from me.
Sorry, this is not that good. Sorry.
Alex Apr 2017
No one sees the tears in her eyes.
No one sees the scars on her wrist.
No one sees the bruises on her body.
No one sees how much she's hurting.
No one sees how she stares at a knife, longing for the silence of death.
Now
Alex Mar 2016
Now
Time seems to stop
As I sharpen my knife.
Maybe its better this way.
Now you don't haver to pretend that you love me.
Now you can be free of me.
Now you can smile and be happy,
Especially now that I am out of the picture.
Alex Apr 2016
Yin and yang.
Night and day.
Dark and light.
Water and fire.
Moon and sun.
Cold and heat.
Death and life

We live in a world of opposites.
Alex Mar 2016
Would you remember me
If I was gone tomorrow?
Never to be seen again?

Would you remember me
And all the great times we had?
Or would the memorys fade out of existance?

There is no escape.

You cannot hide.

Your demons are coming for you.

Scaredy Cat
Scaredy Cat
Afraid of little me.

Scaredy Cat
I'm insane, you better be afraid.

Silence.
No one wants to hear your voice.
No one wants to listen to the words you have to say.
They just want you to stand there and be silent.
And with every word you choke back down,
They win.
Because you stayed silent.

Silence.
It fills you up and eats you alive.
You want to speak so bad, but you don't.
But every word you don't speak
Feels like acid.
It burns, it hurts,
And yet you don't do anything about it.

Silence.
Maybe it's time to stop the silence.
Maybe it's time to fill the air around you with words.
Maybe it's time for you to take your life back.
Don't think, just speak.
Do not care about other people.
It's your life and no one has the right to silence you.
Sorry, this is not good.
Alex May 2016
Silent.
I have to remain silent,
Or else there will be consequences.

Silent.
I must suffer in silence
Because if I don't, I will get hurt even more.

Silent.
I must die in silence,
Because majority rule.

Silent.
I must apologize silently
Because I could not stay, even for you.
I'm sorry, this is not that good.
Alex Jan 2017
You gave me a red rose
To symbolize your love for me.
You gave me a black rose
To symbolize that you are leaving me.

You went onto someone else
And left me in the past.
So, I am angry and coming for your
Head.

You were not my first mistake,
But you will be my last.
Many people have done this to me.
Now they are skulls locked in my closet.

Their skeletons grew
Because of the roses that were tossed in.
Their skeletons kept
As a reminder to everyone.

And up their femurs
Came the vines.
Round their ankles
Slept tired time.

In their sockets
Napped with hate,
And in the ribcages
Snored the love.

And as I threw
More roses in,
I wondered if loving the bones
Was a sin.
Alex Mar 2016
Lub lub...lub lub.
I feel your heartbeat,
As my hand rests on your perfectly tanned chest.

The moonlight illuminates us like a spotlight.
The night is still and silent,
As electricity crackles in the air between us.

I have learned to cherish these precious stolen moments.
First only taken for the thrill of maybe getting caught, no real feelings at all,
But then morphing into something more, something real.

For our forbidden love can only be shown by these,
Stolen moments.
These stolen moments spent together.

As the night ends and the day begins,
We are pulled apart,
By the world.

As we leave each other's arms, crying quietly,
We both know we can never be together,
As much as we wish to be.
Alex Aug 2016
Stop.
Just stop.
Stop blaming me,
You're the one who was abusing me.
You're the one who hurt me.
So just stop.
Please.
I'm sorry. Just past events and people. Sorry.
Alex Nov 2017
It's strange, isn't it.
One minute you can be friends with someone,
Only to be hurt by them the next.

It's strange.
One minute you are happy,
Only to want to cry the next.

Everything is strange.
Alex Jul 2016
You had my heart,
Back when We were younger,
Promising "We'll never part"
You were my suicide lover.

I'm Running out of Time,
In my heart you're still Alive,
In my Dreams,
**** Reality, I mean
We had it all,
I Fell Hard,
You Caught My fall,
Tell me,
Where'd it all go wrong?

And I keep telling myself lies,
"I'm fine, I'm Fine, I'm fine"
But you're, no longer,
mine.

My Candle shines Bright,
But you always outshone me,
You were so full of life,
Had such a sweet Personality,
Love and life are such a battle,
Why'd you quit the Fight?
Little ray of Sun,
Why'd you have to be done?

Darling we had come so far,
Underneath the same stars...

And I keep telling myself lies,
"I'm Fine, I'm Fine, I'm Fine"
But you're, no longer,
Mine.

Life wasn't so bad,
Back When You were here,
You kept me from going mad,
And Chased out all my fears.
You were always there for me,
In my Darkest times.

And I keep Telling Myself Lies,
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine"
But you're, no longer,
Mine.

Amd Baby if I Could,
I'd turn back Time,
To tell you Once more,
"I love you, It'll be fine"

But I Guess that its okay,
You've found some Better days,
But I Wish you couldve stayed.

Darling, We had come so far,
Underneath the same stars...

And I keep Telling myself lies,
"I'm fine, I'm Fine, I'm Fine."
But you're, No longer,
Mine...
I did NOT write this poem, my friend, Emma, did. All credit goes to her.
Alex Apr 2018
Pulsing,
Throbbing,
Beating.
I can feel it.
My heart.
Beat-Beating in my chest.

It's telling me that I'm alive.
Shadows of doubt are fading away with every
Beat-Beat of
My heart.

I am alive.
I am free.
I am who I choose to be.
Alex Apr 2016
This will be the last time.
The last time I think of you.
The last time I feel pain.
This is the last time.
The last time I open my eyes.
The last time I see your face.
Alex Mar 2016
In the middle of a field of daisy's
Runs a river made of tears.

The river of tears grows everyday
Because of the tears cryed each day.

The days pass and it grows and grows,
Filling the field with sorrow.

One by one the daisy's die
As the river of tears overflows.
Alex Apr 2018
Nothing.
A vast expanse of emptiness.
There is nothing.
Only me and these winding thoughts.
Down,
  Down,
     Down,
Thoughts swirling down into the abyss of my mind.
Always remembering what has been said.
All the hopelessness I want to forget.
Anything I onced hoped to happen, but never did.
Down,
  Down,
     Down,
Hello, dear thoughts,
I welcome you to my mind again,
I have become accustomed to these dark thoughts.
I will survive these thoughts.
Down,
  Down,
     Down,
Here we go again.
Here in this blank abyss.
Sorry, been a long time since I have written, as you probably know if you are following me.
Alex Aug 2016
Tic, tock.
Tic, tock.
The clock is running out on you and me.

Tic, tock.
Tic, tock.
I'm sorry because I know that you blame me.

Tic, tock.
Tic, tock.
Stop blaming me for your mistake.

Tic, tock.
Tic, tock.
Your abuse has stopped.
Sorry, this is not that good.
Alex Sep 2017
People think that my life is perfect.
My smiles are real.
My cover wrists aren't scared.
My eyes don't shed a tear.

People are wrong.
My smiles are fake.
My wrists are scared.
My eyes shed thousands of tears.

People think that my life is perfect.
My parents are sweet and nice.
My body is only bruised because I fell.
My spirit isn't shattered.

People are wrong.
My parents are monsters.
My body is bruised because of them.
My spirit is completely shattered into a million pieces.
Alex Apr 2017
Words, thoughts
Tangled together in my mind,
Waiting for the one little push
That makes me fall off the edge.
Alex Apr 2017
No
One
Cares
That
I
Am
Slowly
Dying.
Sorry... Just trying to stop thinking and writing what I think helps... Sorry...
Alex Apr 2017
I'm screaming,
But no one hears me.

I'm screaming,
But no one cares to save me.

I'm drowning,
But no one sees me.

I'm drowning,
But no one will save me from myself.
Alex Jun 2017
How many times are you going to yell at me?
I didn't mean to.
I just was looking at the knife
And then the next thing I know,
You are here screaming at me as you bandage my bleeding arm.

How many times are you going to scream at me?
I didn't mean to.
I was born
And look at me, I was a mistake from the beginning.
And yet it still hurts when you scream at me
Because I know that you truly don't care about me
And you will leave me just like they did.
Sorry, just.. I don't know... I'm sorry...
Alex Sep 2017
It hurts.
It hurts when you are betrayed.
Especially if the one who betrayed you was the one friend you have known for seven years.

But you know what they say.

The worst thing about betrayal is that it doesn't come from you enemies.
It comes from your closest friends.
Alex Aug 2016
I'm drowning.
And no one cares enough to save me.
Alex May 2016
Thousands of
Missiles
Are aimed
At my heart,
But yours
Was the first to
Strike.
Alex Nov 2017
I have a stalker.
But the thing is,
I know who he is.

He is my 'friend.'
Or at least I thought he was.
Spencer...

Grab me.
Follow me.
Watch me.

I want to tell you stop,
But you won't listen.
You won't stop.
Just venting about something I'm going through. Sorry...
Alex Aug 2016
I've run out of words to say,
The pain is taking over,
All I can do is feel,
And I can't speak at all.
I have no clue what I just wrote... The words came to me, and so I wrote them down.

I'm sorry.
Alex Apr 2017
Screaming
Crying
Help me, help me
No ones listening...
Alex Aug 2023
Shattered screams fade into the background
Seconds pass, though it feels like hours
I can't seem to remember your smile
The sweet sound of your laugh, ringing out through the room
The way your eyes glowed the perfect hue
The way your hair flowed in gentle waves
The way you lit up the room just by walking in
Your presence was not loud
But it called to me
I was captivated by you
Our moments spent together, our silent song woven together
It was not enough
I was not enough
Now all that is left of us is in shattered memories
The shards laid bare with no one left to see
As my memory fades into the night
Maybe those shards of memory might help me to find my way back to you
Alex May 2016
I always wondered what you would do
If I walked away from our  friendship.
But now, I don't have to wonder.
You walked away for me.
Alex Jun 2016
What a fool I was.
I honestly thought that you loved me.
Now, I'm back at square one
With my heart broken again.
Only this time,
I'm never falling in love again.
Alex May 2016
My mind
Is a
Dark place
Where thoughts of
Death
Are common.
Alex May 2016
I wish I knew a way to
Stop.
Alex Jul 2016
I sit alone in the dark crying.
We broke up,
But I still love you,
And yet you love another girl.
I got another guy to try and replace you,
But I cant.
So again I sit in a dark room,
As tears create another river of sorrow and loss.
I'm sorry...
Alex Jun 2016
Baby, you broke me
And I can't be fixed
Because I'm missing you so bad.
Alex May 2016
I loved you so much
But you still left me.
For a girl who would give you what you wanted.

I cried over you
But you never shed a tear over me.
Because you were too bust being 'entertained' by another girl.

I cut over you
But you only smiled at the scars they left.
Because you started to 'love' your new girl.
Alex May 2017
Fade.
I'll fade away from your memory.

Don't worry.
You barely even remember me now.
Alex Jul 2017
"Amber, you're ugly."
"I know, Mom."
Please stop reminding me.

"Amber, you're fat."
"I know, Dad."
Can't you see I'm trying to be skinny?

"Amber, what is that on your wrist?"
"Nothing, Mom."
You wouldn't care even if I told you the truth.

"Amber, you only hurt yourself to get attention."
"I'm sorry, Dad."
No, I'm not trying to get anyone's attention.

"Amber, you are so pathetic and lazy."
"I know, Mom. I'm sorry."
I'm trying to please you by doing what you want me to.

"Your only here becuase your mother ***** me."
"You have already told me that, Dad."
I'm sorry I'm here.

"Don't call me your mother."
"Yes, Ma'am."
I always knew you hated me, but don't worry, I hate myself too.

"Why are you even here?"
"Becuase of Mother."
I honestly don't know becuase I should be dead.
Alex Jul 2016
I feel like I'm drowning
In a river of tears.
It's been almost a month, and I'm still crying over you. Well, I guess thats because of my stupid heart.
Alex Jul 2016
You words,
Once so sweet,
Are now like
Knifes that make me
Bleed.
Let me guess, your words are my fault,  too?
Alex May 2016
My heart is racing
With fear
As I wait for the first hit.

I don't remember how this started
But
I do know how it will end.

After the last hit falls,
I will crawl defeated, to my room
And drown my sorrow in alcohol.
