I knew you're world shined to bright

but I didn't think it would blind me for life.

If you get Little Boy just a little angry,

or make an honest mistake,

BAM!

the nuclear power explodes.

And if you don't die from impact,

the radiation will **** you later

We were like sunflowers

following the sun

Turns out it was only a light bulb

“You need to read with brighter light! You’re going to have glasses by the time you’re 20! Is that what you want?”
Sorry, but I don’t care.

“Stop playing music so loud, you’re going to need hearing aids when you’re older!”
Do I care? Won’t almost everyone need hearing aids at a certain age?

“Don’t dance or sing in a store! Everyone will think you’re crazy!”
So? It’s not like anyone knows me or I care.

Didn’t you have fun when you were younger?
Didn’t you test the limits at all?

I live in the moment, and that’s how I will for the rest of my life.

Don’t you know?
Thinking about the future ruins the present.

Another mouthful,

I wonder how many calories would that be?

How long do I have to run to burn off this meal?

When will I look like I want to?

How long do I have to keep this up?

My gift is my song and

this one's for you...



It's been almost a year now
since you sung me those words...
full of the emotion they were written in....

How fast they were lost in your memory

Do you believe in love at first sight?

It's a concept that's often portrayed in movies and stories.

But maybe it's one of those things you have to experience

to truly understand what it is.


Let me tell you a story...
Alice Kay Feb 2013
If you have never been to a music festival,
you are missing out on a great life experience.

Beats are pumping through your blood,
and everyone is united from all backgrounds a places
to share a common love of music.

It's an event to let go and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Many people have the happiest looks on their faces,
but one boy caught my attention.

I was one of the first one hundred people to arrive,
and he stood out, he looked nervous and unsure of why he was there.

We both ended up near the stage, and when the music started to play
and the thousands of people started to sing and dance along with all their hearts,
he just...let it all go.

I had never before seen a face of such pure joy,
and I knew that was a person I wanted to be with.
Thus began my wild story of love at first sight.
I may or may not continue this. Maybe I need to meet the guy first :P

Everything drops from view
And I can see my perfect landscape

I take a step forward,
just to make sure.

And I'm free!
I run around wild,

Jumping high in the air
and rolling down hills.

Then it all starts to fade
and I'm just a spectator.

Nooo!!!!!

It's only when you wake up
that you remember all the things you wanted to do

These love songs' lyrics

are only missing a name
Alice Kay Dec 2012
A little dot of red appears on my cheek.

soon it is joined by others,

they grow from the scratch.

I watch as each one slowly becomes a bead

of rich red color.

They are so close together, that many merge

and become larger, heavy

to heavy to stay on my cheek.

I watch my face in the mirror as one by one

they roll down my cheek, leaving a stain

they reach the bottom of my cheek

and hang there for just a moment

before dropping to the carpet.

Joining old rust-colored dots decorating the white carpet.

A testimony to the pain hidden deep inside my soul.
Alice Kay Apr 2013
If I were ever to go to a maquerade,
I wouldn't wear a mask.

Why should I?

I wear one everyday.
Alice Kay May 2013
Once I think I've got it right.
Fixed my past and moved on.

Turns out I should've been running.
The past is a world-class marathon runner.
Alice Kay Mar 2013
"Don't forget the date!"

Oh, I won't forget.

I'll be counting the days with a happy heart
(detect the sarcasm?)

I don't need a trip to the doctors.
It won't help none,
just bring up the past I've almost forgotten.
You really don't know what's the best for me
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Maybe this year will be better.
Vacant of heartbreak and disappointments

Maybe this year the smiles will reach my eyes
and the laughs actually real
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Maybe if you really knew how much pain I was in,
and how sorry I am and how true my words really were,
you would give me a second chance
and maybe you would stay this time.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Maybe this time when the fog rolls by,

you'll leave with it.
Alice Kay Dec 2012
All winter I've been wondering
where all the snow went.

But today I realized

that the heat from our fights
melted it all.

Now I wake to a drenching rain
instead of a magical snowy landscape.
Last bit doesn't really fit...
Alice Kay Dec 2012
My favorite oldies songs
that used to bring a smile to my face
because you used to sing them to me

now bring a tear to my eye
because now you're gone...
and there's no way to get you back

Tonight I'm missing nothing...

but my life, my best friend
Idk if you even read any of my stuff anymore.....but if you are......I'll wait until I die for any words from you.......
Alice Kay Dec 2012
This time last year
I wanted to cry because I would have to leave you..
the only constant in my life.

But this year,
I want to cry because there's no one to miss.

What kind of monster have I turned into?

I thought it was just a funny game...

I guess not :/
All those that have seen Monsters Inc.

Remember that scene where Sully scares Bo and doesn't mean it?

Thats me right now.

When all you gotta keep is strong
move along, move along like I know you do

you say

but as much as I want..need to,
how can I when I can't even lift my feet
off this office-white pavement?
Alice Kay Jan 2013
when this beach is stained ******,
lit only by stars at midnight,
no one will know in the morning
because the tide is coming in
and will wash it all away.
No, I'm not a psychopath. :P I went fishing with two of my brothers last night on a beach to try to catch a shark (they are out at night), and it was really scary because no one was there, and the boardwalk to get there was surrounded by dense forest/swamp stuff. I get scared easily and I have a fear that a psychopath is going to **** me (yeah...I'm weird) so this was what was going through my mind that a psychopath would be thinking if he/she saw us standing alone on the beach.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
The music won't stop
I can't think.
Why does my head hurt so much?

Cold ground...
It shakes from running footsteps.
Where did everyone go?

Blank, white walls
a beeping heartbeat
a new present.
Alice Kay Nov 2012
Stop thinking of feelings.....

i slip away...


music is my drug
Alice Kay Sep 2012
Blackened windows surround me,
darkness wait in the shadows,
waiting for the very moment I become vulnerable.

Waiting to leap out
grab my life,
and run away with it.

The world around me is in shades of black.
My blonde hair stands out,
my blue eyes don't match the sky,
my green sweater is to bright.

Where's the sun?
Alice Kay Dec 2012
It's nice to know we had it all

thanks for watching as I fall

shattered, dashed upon the rocks

                                                           ­                                                              on a dark, stormy night
Alice Kay Aug 2012
The dark rolling clouds
surround me.
Each dusty contact
burns.

I try to run away,
but in which direction?
Stumbling and tripping
over hidden obstacles,
I run towards the only patch of color in the black,
A field of grass before a setting sun.
But it slips into the engulfing darkness
as the sun sets.

The clouds sting my eyes now,
my vision blurs and fades.

How did I even get here?
I think, as I fall the final time.
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Everyone knows you...
even my extended family.

Letting you go and not thinking of you
all the time is impossible

because everyday they remind me...
My family likes cool names... your name was, and everyone in my extended family knows you as the Pokemon....I'm teased about ou everyday...but what am I gonna say? that things didn't work out? nah, I have to have some part of my life private.
Alice Kay Dec 2012
I would do anything to fix this,
to be on top of the world again
just because you are talking to me.

But my everything...

is just not enough
ever
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Is it so wrong that I agree with someone else?
And if I ever try to voice my opinion,
you will come up with all these things wrong with it.

"Stay" you would stay.
But I still don't understand.

Why would everyone would be so disappointed
if I followed a different path?
Confirmation is coming up, and I don't completely agree with everything in my branch of christianity......I would like to explore the other branches to see if there is one that fits with how I think things should be, but my mom wants me to stay how the whole family is...and I would be the odd one out. Yes, I do love Jesus, and I think that all the branches are family (of course) but I just things should be done differently then they are in my branch.

sleep has been tugging at me

for hours now.

But i'll just chug another coffee

and continue staring at my blank screen
I NEED TO SLEEP!!!!!
Alice Kay Dec 2012
Yeah, I'm that girl in the far corner of the classroom.
Headphones plugged in, solving math problems

but my mind is elsewhere.

the headphones blast sad music
bringing me down even more.

No one would guess tears threaten to fall
no one would guess that a storm is raging inside.

Then again, no one would guess I'm writing poetry,
not working on a stupid math program.

I guess that means no one knows me at all...
Alice Kay Nov 2012
You won't respond...

my life's a mess

You're the only one I can talk to

~

But your stupid pride is in the way

of send a simple email

or say any simple word

just to let me know you're there
If you're not here....

When did I stop missing you?
When did I stop living in the past,
constantly remembering?

We all need to move on from any death,
but is it bad I almost never think of you anymore?

I feel like there's no emotional attachment.
I don't remember you much anymore,
just the last time I ever saw you                                                                                                *alive
Just really confused how much of letting go is good, and how much is bad, that I hardly even remember him.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Not long ago,
I thought maybe I could do something special in life
even if in a very small way.

But I forgot I'm not good at anything.
Alice Kay Jan 2013
Nothing is left anymore

every last tear has fallen

every last punch or slap has been landed.

All those cries, shouts of frustration are done echoing.

My ears are left ringing from the sudden sounds of silence.
::sigh::

no direction

no purpose                 no hope

no feelings




...no life...
I felt like I had to write something tonight....I don't know why...this is the best I could come up with

Now
I used to listen to softly playing music as i went to sleep.

Now I just fall asleep at the keyboard

waiting for an email from you
Alice Kay Mar 2013
As I turn up the volume,

I turn down all sense of feeling.
