Cry
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Cry
Tears roll
down my cheeks
I emit a shaky sigh

You see me
You stop, confused,
And ask why

Because
I say
You're with her
So I
I have to cry
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Wishing on the person you like
Is like wishing on that first star
in the East
Not sure if it is really yours
Or just your imagination
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
They tell me
He's not right
good enough for you
not to hurt you
like that

I know the way
you are
I love you
but you
love her

The moment I
Laid eyes on you
I was caught
In your sticky web,
I held taut

The strings of
my heart still sing
when you call
me, but I know
It's not me

It's not me
It can't happen
Not I
You love her
But why

Her and not me?
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Your voice follows me
Demolishes me
Crushes me
I hate
to hallucinate
But sometimes
I wish
It really was you
calling me
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
I'm sinking.
Burning, yet drowning.
You look

You can't see
The pain
The fire, the water

It's not
your fault
It's mine

For loving you
When I knew
It couldn't be

So I look at you
And I fall
In the fire
And the sea.

No song of yours can hurt me more than
Seeing one child in pain
A picture is worth 1000 words
Donate to feed my starving children please
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
I'm hurt
Broken
Shattered

You kissed
Someone else
Not me

You say
You feel
Bad

Yeah right
I know
You love
Her
Alexa Sinclair Jan 2016
Really I don't know, mom.
Apparently I love him more than he loves me.
Anyway I'm coming home now.
Love you.
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Breathe.
Think back.
The words that broke you

"Who could you love"
"Her"
Breathe.
"Could you like me?"
"Maybe"

What you
find out later
Maybe=No
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
When you leave
Remember me
When you date
Remember me
When you smile
Remember me
When you cry
Remember me
You cannot stay
Though I pray
When you love
Please,
Remember me
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
He glances.
I glance.
Our eyes meet.
For an instant,
I love something
It's bubbling through my blood
Dancing in my bones
Leaping through the sky.
Then he glances away.
I follow his gaze.
His warm eyes come to rest
On another girl.
I glance.
He does not.
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
My friends, they sit and glare,
About who has the chance
To strike up something with him
Maybe a little romance

While I just stand by
An tears fall from my eyes
I know he'll never like me,
So why do I even try?
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Why am I always
Silver to her Gold
The mix, not the mold,
Second in your heart
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Twirling, leaping
Down.

Frosty flakes drifting
No frown.

Grin spreads wide
Across the sky.

Crystals fall into my hair
Adorn it with the greatest care.

Snow.
Alexa Sinclair Dec 2015
Hoping, wanting
Those immature sensations

From so long ago
To come back

To be a child again,
Playing in the rain

To have nothing more
To worry about than

My friend brought a
Frog to school!

Wishing back the years
Holding back the tears

We only get one shot
This is all we got

Make it or
Leave it

Love or hate it
It's life, live it.
Live life, love it. It's the only one you get.

Jumping, leaping off the dock
My legs are frozen cold with shock

Coach says "Hurry, hurry, warm up quick"
I want to hit him with a stick

The sun shines bright into my eyes
Even before I attempt to try

To put my goggles on

Watch the sunrise soar up high,
Hurling sunbeams through the sky

Wonder if in years from now
To the sun, the moon will still bow


Hopping, dropping off the dock
Legs are frozen cold with shock

Son says hurry, then he swims so quick
I want to hit him with a stick

The sun shines bright into my eyes
Before I even attempt to try

To put my goggles on

Watch the sunrise soar up high
Tossing sunbeams through the sky

Know that now, in years from now
The moon will always bow
To the sun
Swimming is a lifelong sport.
Make use of it because I love it!
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
You wonder
Why I
Wear sunglasses

To hide
The tears
That fall

When I
See you
With her
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
My eyes
I cry
My tears
I hide

All of it
For you
If you loved
Me too

Maybe I
Could stop
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Please tell me
I don't understand
What did I do
So wrong to you
So that you took
Her hand

You took her hand
And held it tight
Never giving a thought
To those who might
Love you too
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
Twinkle twinkle little star
I know what you really are.

You set me high up in the sky
Gazed at me with perfect eyes.

We talked late into the night
I even thought you just might

Love me too,
The way I do you

Then you left, and with a frown
Allowed me to come crashing down.
Alexa Sinclair Nov 2015
OK
So you're
Telling me
You're mad

Cause she
Kissed the
Guy you
Like

Well wait
A minute
We can't

Kiss any
guys (Without
your consent)

But you
Can kiss
anyone you
Like

No matter
Who else
Likes him

Wait a
Minute, I
Like this
Guy too

I'm not
Mad, just
A little
Sad

So why
Are you
So angry
At this

Other girl
Your friend
Cause all
Is fair

In love
and war
I have
Feelings too

I like
The guy
You now
Like

And you're
Gonna kiss
Him.
Still.

Did you
Ever think
That might
Hurt me

Like she
Hurt you
When she
Kissed him

Wait a minute.
That's not right.
