Strong
Alia Henderson Nov 2015
Weak moments
The air is still
Hearts hurting
Pain clinging to ankles
Bringing you down
Fighting fighting fighting
Clinging for air
Climbing for love
Holding the hand
Helping me up
Starting to fall
Standing up tall
Pretending to not care
The lie is not there
Rushing rushing rushing
Air continues to be still
Hearts once hurt still hurting
Pain clinging to ankles but slowly losing slip
Bringing you down but not all under
Fighting fighting fighting
For I am strong

Gone
Alia Henderson Nov 2015
You once told me that it's going to be okay
Once told me to not be a broken record
To always trust in God
That I don't need certain things to feel better
To be safe when I was out at night
That you loved me
Wait just a moment
How the hell am I supposed to do those things
If your gone
Gone
And the stars in the sky haunt me at night

Love
Alia Henderson Nov 2015
Love
Simple but so complex
Get a taste I dare you
To hand over your heart
A piece of your soul
To fall in love
I never knew it required so much of me
Not too much work not too much effort
Eyes
Mind
Everything even the flaws
The little things that are so big
Their smile their eyes their soul
What makes us human?
Emotions? Physical pain?
Love made me human
Destructible, beautiful
Love didn't come knocking at my door instead it came through the back
You
You were all I needed
All I wanted
Without you , I'm here writing this poem
Without you , a piece is gone
A typical heartbreak poem
No
No because you are coming back
I will wait forever
My heart simply isn't broken
It is simply aching because it needs the medicine it's missing
Love...
You
My always and forever

Together
Alia Henderson Nov 2015
To be hidden inside
Once heartbroken
Lost trust in the eyes of the people
The heart like a custard donut but only filled with pain
Afraid
Learned an extent of how players play
A guidebook to an unforeseen hurt
Remedies thought to be euphoric
To have it all escape in the hands of time
Afraid
A dark room to find a soul balled under the linen sheets
Used tissues lay on the bedside
Tissues containing tears of the lost
The lost and the loss now being chosen
Afraid
Memories clouding the air
Suffocating and so so so compelling
Compelling to remember the chapter
A chapter written long ago
Until the time arrives for the page to turn
Afraid
No need to be
Don't be afraid
Let me in
For I'll be forever
A shoulder to lean on
Afraid
Afraid is simply what we will make it
Together

— The End —
