?¿

Where do I go when the house don't feel like home
Who do I call when I've pushed away my own
When will I trust the people of this earth
How do I allow myself to learn my own self worth
Why can I answer others questions but never my own
And where do I go when the house don't feel like home

You can be lost, but still be seen by those who love you.
Your feet say keep running
But how long can you run
From
Yourself

There is

There is no substitute
                 For hard work;
There is no replacement
                 Of time lost;
There is no time for regrets
                 About mistakes made,
                 Or excuses for failure
                 Of responsibility or duty;
There is no explanation for
                 Blind eyes to beautiful things
                 Or love gone unexpressed;
There is no time for excuses

                                                                                 *There is no time

I've lost too many hours

My Heart WANTS Yours to Hurt

Your words are painfully beautiful
Enough so to make me weep
My heart is anything but tender
Yet in question, my head spins
I'm loosing sleep

I want to forget everything
It's what i do best
Time's never healed so much as a paper cut
I turn to herbs to get some rest

I continue reading somberly
Overthinking every word
these poems can't be for me
But your heartbreak wasn't absurdly inferred.

My smile may be pretty but my intentions disgust myself

I always admired Snowflakes
It started when I was five
They have the ability to portray
me better than any human alive
Not only were they unique,
No two of the same kind
The way they danced in freedom
Depleted my sea of thought and mind
I watch them violently falling
But... they fell with grace
They collect on every possible surface
Or melt on my warm face
Each flake built to self destruct
Much like every DeMarzo alive
Each of us too human
But it was how we survived

To All The People I Could Never Love

To all the men I could never love
I wanna say it wasn't me, nor you
To all the lips I left unkissed
And words regrettably untrue

To all the hearts I never accepted
Minds I've changed
And souls I never defended

To all the tears I've caused to shed
And the endless hours I left you
stranded in your head

To all the men I could never love
And the only one I do

You may think you know what it means... but how can you? When I myself have no clue

Alyssa De Marzo Nov 2016

I saw you

I saw your face in a crowded place
The rest were just shadows and a blur

Your head carried high
Your wandering eyes
Strangers lips no longer smile
But when I look closely yours were
