Alyssa Williams Mar 2014

Under my burdens I do fall
My knees are scraped,
Most times, I can barely stand
The bags under my eyes and my spirit weighed
By too much to carry
My body wary
Alyssa Williams Jun 2015
I think I loved you so much I began to love myself too
and now you're gone and I see no purpose
I have nothing else to lose
Alyssa Williams Mar 2014
I know you are my cigarettes
Because you're so addictive
Because you **** me from inside
Because you make me feel giddy
Because when you leave all I feel is deprived
Because I need you more than ever,
Because I realize you're killing me somehow
But I completely disregard all this
Because I just need a vice right now
But you're the cancer in my lungs
And the reason I can't breathe
You're in everything that hurts
you're slowly killing me
Slowly like an anchor
You pull me to the ground
My lungs you've already blackened fill with you But metaphorically i've already drowned
Alyssa Williams May 2014
I wonder what brought on the plague inside of me
Was it the fight with the reflections
that brought on this anger, the insecurity?
Or was it the people who left my battle- they faked their affection and stranded me with my mind?
My prison.
This place where I'm eternally confined.

I  see it in the night
when its shadows hold me tight
and when the light no longer shines
Empty hours with open blinds
Empty silence and hopeless thoughts
I see again what the night has brought
Alyssa Williams Aug 2015
Show me where you wonder
Let my body trace your steps
I'll follow you blindly
Unmindful of the depth
Run
Alyssa Williams Sep 2015
Run
ran away from the place in my head where your words still burn
Alyssa Williams Mar 2014
For me you gave up everything
and I'll never be able to  mend the seams of all your broken dreams
I've never really been good at fixing things
I'm most apparently better at breaking
Alyssa Williams Jun 2015
sloppy kisses
messy lies
I think I made a mess
Alyssa Williams May 2014
like notes  
the melody will carry
a tune, not so merry
its truth is hid beneath the song
they don't know the meaning
but they think it's pretty
so they still sing along
Alyssa Williams Mar 2016
I crave a love so great it can't be fathomed into constellations
Alyssa Williams Aug 2015
and I stopped playing our songs
Alyssa Williams Feb 2015
I can't breathe again
