changing
ashleigh Aug 2018
Change is a strange thing
The stop lights, the people, the wrinkles on your skin
How do you stop it
The hair on your scalp, the fade of your eyes, your heart
How do you make it stop
The love who you thought was your life, how you love, the way you think
How do you not change

lightening strike
ashleigh May 2017
Look at her, the way she moves herself
Don't you see the hurt?
        how fragile
Like the highest metal peak, waiting for the lightning to
Strike Again
During the storm
There's not much left
Her outer shell is all

new era
ashleigh May 2017
one day
it will all be gone
where you are, who you're with
the memories will fade, the people you are with will move on
somehow, someway
you will have to figure out who you are, by your lonesome
moving on, forgetting the people and places you once loved
just one thing- stay true to you

maybe if i take the pill bottle ill be happy forever
all the powder
that should be enough to keep me happy, right?
i don't know to express the feelings inside me
how do you say what you're indicating????

no feels
ashleigh Nov 2015
i laugh and my heart feels happy with you
but I'm
           numb
i don't feel it, maybe its the drugs
or maybe its just my heart got tired of feeling like its on a roller coaster
going up
only to come back down

what might have been gone
ashleigh Sep 2015
someday my pain will mark you
you will realize why i had to leave
the stories will be all over you,
can't you find the clues?

Love(d)
ashleigh May 2015
People say that you become a poet once you touch love, I used to be a poet when you were in my life.
But he's in my life now, and I feel like I constantly have writers block.
So do I love him? Or do I love you?
I told him I love him
I think I love you
I don't know if I love him

Done
ashleigh May 2015
I'm finally free
Free from your lies, broken promises, free from your twisted way of how you showed you "loved me"
I've never felt more clean
I don't know how to express how free I feel

idk
ashleigh Mar 2015
idk
what if i don't want to get better?
i like the darkness better because it makes me feel safe
my mind is going crazy with all these thoughts bottling up
how do you explain whats going on in your mind when you don't even know whats on your mind?
I'm going crazy

feel
ashleigh Mar 2015
i try to feel something, try to connect with people
i try to in the bed
on the streets
i try to feel at home
and on the phone
i watch sad and happy movies
nothing seems to click...
i feel nothing. nothing works, all i feel is loneliness

crying for help
ashleigh Feb 2015
she's the kind of crashing-down-all-at-once type
one little spark ignites the flame
little do people know every word is a spark
sometimes you have to forget about your happiness, and make happiness in other people

Dont
ashleigh Feb 2015
You broke the heart I don't have
you mixed my emotions I don't feel

The heart I don't have is breaking
And
The feelings I don't have aren't showing

an ex ******* addict, ex whiskey lover, ex lover, ex mother
I tried to forgive her

momma knew I tried
it hurts her
forgive but never forget

ashleigh Jan 2015
i crave him, he craves her
you crave me, she craves you
strange, isn't it?
opposites attract

i crave loneliness
ashleigh Jan 2015
why can't you see i want to be alone?
i breathe better when I'm alone - i like it better
i don't have to deal with the people, i don't have to fake what I'm feeling, and i can be lost in my mind on my own without the devil with me

no love
ashleigh Jan 2015
theres no love here
what is love?
i've heard of it, but I've heard of God, too.
my father never mentioned "love" in his notes of life
so what does it mean to love another human being?
never felt love

black souls
ashleigh Jan 2015
how did i become so intelligent of the dark side?
its peaceful, yet so violent.
I'm going deaf from the lies you tell me.
"i love you"
I'm drowning
how to put thoughts into words: don't

happy never happening
ashleigh Jan 2015
i forgot what if feels like to be happy
its like ill never know the feeling ever again

why does happy not happen to me?
what did i do to deserve the cold wind
i miss the warm sun

different
ashleigh Jan 2015
they don't look at me the same
i never did anything wrong to them, but only myself


strange how things change in the matter of only one thought
I'm only safe here, because no one know who i am
or what i've done

words
ashleigh Jan 2015
tell me, who stole the light from your soul?
i see the way you hold yourself
so tightly

are you afraid of floating away?
are you scared of being taken?
you're a tall building

don't let a single word demolish you
Jan 2015 · 346
you
ashleigh Jan 2015
you
you **** me in, then throw me out
why
is it my soul?
can you see my hidden self peeking out?
i don't want to scare you
i  love  you

//
the dark
it swallows me whole saying,
"come here"

there's no happy ending, or beginning here
the monsters inside are always inviting more
im lost

— The End —
