Adventure
alison Jul 2015
I can’t do boring
I need the chaos,
the strange,
the passionate,
the irrational.
I need the adventure.
It fuels me.
Nothing else is
satisfactory.

Cold-Hearted
alison Jul 2015
There's nothing
good about being
cold-hearted.

It doesn't set you
apart from others
by making you
more interesting.

People should
aim to have a
heart so warm
you could bake
cookies with it.
It always bothers me when people think being cold-hearted is something to be proud of.

Good Vibes
alison Jun 2015
I woke up today with
a deep appreciation for being alive.
Somehow the air smells fresher,
the sun feels warmer,
the coffee is less bitter.
The universe is radiating
all these good vibes

Appreciation
alison Jun 2015
A wonderful thing
is when you can recognize
the things you have
that you can be grateful for
while you have them.
When you don’t have
to lose something to fully
appreciate it I think
you get so much more

Eyes

One day I'll find it
A boy with eyes
more beautiful than
your endless seas.

Hurt
alison Jun 2015
Getting hurt means you’re
starting to become stronger
We may feel weak at first
because of the suffering
But one day, we’ll realize
we had enough and that
You don’t need paybacks
to be happy with your life.

Gun

Gun
Your mouth
works like a gun
just waiting to
shoot the bullets,
the safety gone.

Darkness
alison Jul 2015
There are days
when I feel so lost
and consumed within
the darkness of my
own thoughts that I
wonder if I'll ever find
my way out at all.

Sweet Dreams
alison Jul 2015
I’d sleep better
if your chest
was my pillow
and you were
here to hold me.

Passion
alison Jul 2015
Love is both a
blessing and a curse,
it means opening up,
letting someone
take down the walls
you've built to keep
your deepest secrets and
darkest thoughts safe.

It means to become
vulnerable and learn to
put someone else
before your own needs.

For love will cause an
overflow with a sea
of feeling and drown
you in it's passion.
Just my own thoughts on what love is

Overthinking
alison Jun 2015
Thoughts are like
a rare brand of poison
that will slowly
take over your mind
and eat you alive.

Musings
alison Jul 2015
I prefer to think
life is not about
the pursuit of
happiness but
about the kind
of contentment
you can find
within yourself.

Beginning
alison Jul 2015
Wouldn't it be nice
to go back to the beginning
before the chaos revealed
itself in your eyes
back to when I only saw
gentle waves instead of
storms in your eyes

Relationship

I don't expect
a perfect relationship,
all I want is effort

Unfaltering
alison Jul 2015
It can be difficult
to tell whether you’re
looking desperately
for the good in someone
to justify having
loved them, or that
you still love them.

Yours
alison Jul 2015
I want to be

you think about

soppy love songs

Too Scared
alison Jul 2015
There are a lot
of things I would
have done if
I wasn’t so scared
of rejection.

Return

It's okay
I'll wait for you
because
we're not done
we never were

Fight
alison Jun 2015
Sometimes I
wonder whether
love is worth
fighting for.

Then I see your
face and I know
I would prepare
for a thousand
wars just to see
you smile again.

Envy
alison Jul 2015
You can’t
make people
understand you
so instead
make them
envy you.

Gone
alison Jul 2015
It feels
kind of lonely
without the
familiar presence
of butterflies
in my stomach.

Chasing
alison Jun 2015
Can we stop
chasing each
other, it's time
to finally catch
our breath
I love you so
**** much,
can I just
win you back?

Reflection
alison Jul 2015
When I looked into
your eyes, I thought
you felt the same, but
what I saw was only
a reflection of my own
love and emotions.

When you say ‘I miss you’
my heart, both swells and breaks.

Overload
alison Jul 2015
I feel as if my body
is this pro multi-tasker,
managing all my systems
in an ongoing attempt
to keep me alive,
and my psyche is that
annoying sibling who
only makes its job harder.

Sparks
alison Jul 2015
You made me feel
forest fires ignite
in my heart, when
I can't even make
you feel a spark

Rebirth
alison Jun 2015
I deleted all
the things
that remind me
of you -
especially the
feelings that I
used to have
for you.

Departure
alison Jun 2015
Love me gently,
kiss me softly,
hold me kindly
in your heart.

But if you end up
choosing to release
me, please be gentle
for my heart is a
fragile thing that
will break at your
touch and departure.

Two Sides
alison Jul 2015
When together
you brought out
the best in me
but it was your
absence that
brought out the
worst in me.

Poetry
alison Jun 2015
Everything I write
is just a shout into
the void, but it’s
strangely comforting.
And sometimes,
someone shouts back
and I don’t feel
so alone anymore
in my sorrows.

alison Jul 2015
The things that
make me sad the most
are the people
who break promises
and the what ifs,
should haves,
would haves,
and could haves.

You notice all my

Queen
alison Jun 2015
There's a fire in me
that can't be doused
There's a noise inside me
that I can't turn down
I have a heart that
beats silver and blue
There is an ocean
that lives in my lungs
and a crown of
thorns at my feet.

Ending
alison Jul 2015
We can either
have a happy
ending or one
that is full of
regrets, so what
do you choose?

Society
alison Jul 2015
You tell me
to just be myself
but then judge me
Try as I may,
I can never be
good enough to
fill up your perfect
expectations.

The Notion
alison Jun 2015
I used to think
love was about feeling
constant excitement,
passion and trust.
Now I can see love
is what I feel is it,
not some fairy-tail
sold by movies.
Emotions aren't always
around all the time,
love isn't perfect nor
easy, it never was.

Away
alison Jul 2015
If you’re not going
to speak to me for
months at a time,
you probably shouldn’t
be speaking to me
in the first place.

If you want to
stay out of my life,
you probably
should stay out.

It’s been months

Darkness
alison Jun 2015
In natures garden
we wonder, lost
unwinding paths,
haunted by the
shadows, stalked
by creatures of
night, all to look
up into midnight
seams, clouds
floating in lustrous
blue and a Cheshire
smile just for us.

You were the colour

You pronounce my name
in shock, as though it is a ghost,
and my body is a dead language.

The One
alison Jun 2015
You're not the one
but you'll always
be my first love

We're not everlasting
but for now,
we can be happy

Bed head, bare skin
It feels right
for now.

I'm not the person

That person seems
far out of reach
an unattainable hope
I'm terrified I'll
never wake from
this nightmare.

thinking of me
thinking about you

Fade
alison Jun 2015
You say you care but I see
your eyes wonder and
you don't quite understand
the meaning of your words
You don't hold me as tight
as you used to, I feel you
slipping away from me.

A relationship
doesn't have
to be perfect

It's enough
to look past
the flaws.

And realize
every ride
has it's ups
and downs
