Snakes no longer hiss anymore
They greet you with a smile
and call you by your first name.
They say they love you and
They congratulate your successes
They hand you tissues while you cry
And if you're real unlucky...
the biggest snakes you've met
Are family
I don't want to wake up tomorrow

"I'm sick of saying he wasn't mine
Because indeed he was
I know about the other girls, but
I know he loves me because..."

He loves you? He  
loves  you?
The man barely remembers your name


"Yeah, but he needs me
He needs-"

Are you blind or do you just like
playing his games?!?!


If you were to lock the door to your
bedroom, you'd never see him again!
You'll let him leave with everything.
What for? What then?


"Despite all your warnings, dear. I'll
have to let him take it. Just know I was already
nothing, dear. This case...It's fake it till you break it."

I never expected to be hit with the
"Who are you?"
While filling out a job application
for a Lush Cosmetics  department store
Seriously though,who am I?
I mean, I'm just Alyssa
Alyssa is just too
human

You know, the type to complain about the sea of heart broken poets while browsing on poetry sites

But for some reason finds herself ranting about all the oblivious people on instagram, whose most traumatic experience was probably a paper cut

She's a weakling compared to the elders at home

Yet sick of the "how do you do it" remarks from colleagues and friends

She isolates herself inside her house and she can feel the crushing sensation named depression

But after lunch with Devon, she begins to fantasize about how her eyes light up when she hears that sound from the heavens;
DING ****
Hot digitty dog it's uber eats!
She'll never have to leave her house for McDonald's ever again!

She has no idea what she's doing with her life, and sometimes wishes someone could just come to her rescue
But god forbid you attack her ego by bringing up her goals and achievements

Best believe she will make you fall in love- trust me she loved you too (at some point)
But her favourite things about you slowly became the things she cringed the most at
You're laugh was cute and ***** but now for some reason
she refrains from telling you jokes

She's constantly changing
Not because she's unhappy with who she is
She has yet to finish creating Alyssa  with each passing day
I usually hate spoken word;)

Sweet melodies
At a trembling finger stroke
Will evoke
A skin memory
Bitter melodies

Sweet melodies
Fade to quiet evening pale
And a trail of
White memories
Blank memory

Selfless?

Maybe.

Forcefully brave?

Since birth.

Broken?

Beyond repair.

Someone please take my pen
Teach me to become numb
I wouldn't need my ink
If I could stop caring for everyone

I don't want to want to write
I hate relying on cheap lined paper
Pain should be ugly
I was told life's a lady and
I should love her

Burn each of my notebooks
Rip out every page
Numb my every feeling
Put my heart back in his cage

I'll stay off the poetry sites
I'll be lost with not in words
Love will be beautiful again
And crows will be nothing but birds
Always be the reader

Am I supposed to let
sweet nothings
make me smile
this much?
I hate how easily I fall for poets
