Lies We Believed
ashley Mar 2013
you have to do good in school
so you can make it into a good college
and grow up to have a wonderful career.

everything about life is amazing,
you just have to keep going strong.

they told us these things
and we listened.

but now that we know,
now that we're living it,
we know that everything they said

are lies.

Are You Afraid?
ashley Mar 2013
the kisses you leave
become etched
into my skin,
they sting with
pure ice as you
press into my lips,
down my neck,
on my fragile bones.

you **** gently
on the skin of my neck,
nibble a little,
give me a tickle,
and sometimes,
a red mark will show;
a trophy of some sort,
a pedestal i've been placed on,
one that claims me
as your own.

your smile
that radiated through
each kiss that touches my lips;
give me a bite
and i'll smile too,
a smile so wide
and devilish
that it urges you
to keep going.

your hands
are a boat;
they travel across
my body;
up, down, side to side;
you search for
the endless depths
of the Dead Sea.
your fingers
interlace with my hair,
touch my warm pink cheeks,
fall
all the way down
to my waist.

it all feels so good,
like something inside of me
went off and erupted;
a feeling so great
and enticing
that it becomes addicting;
your touch,
your kisses,
the way you please me
becomes something
that's completely out
of my control.

but i'm not afraid.

are you?

afraid of
what could become
of this heavy satisfaction?
afraid of
the consequences?
of the aftermath
that follows the touch
of your hands?
of the feelings
that'll grow
more and more
between us?

tell me.
are you afraid?

Deep Blue Sea
ashley Mar 2013
her eyes were the ocean:
deep and blue,
hidden by tears.

you tried to help,
you asked her
"what's wrong?"
"nothing, just tired,"
was what she had said.

but despite her words
you knew there was more;
something deeply hidden
in the depths of the ocean,
of the saltiness of
the gentle sea.

there was a battle
going on inside of her,
tearing at her rib cage,
paralyzingly her soul

but she wouldn't let you in;
her walls were too high.

inside she was
b r o k e n
a powerful sea of emotions,
but outside she was
s m i l i n g,
just what you knew
you wanted to see

Sweet Mornings
ashley Mar 2013
one day i will wake
up right beside you
as we lie under the thin sheets
that smell like cotton and lavender,
illuminated by the bright
morning sun,
under the sky that shines
with billions of intricate diamonds.

i will be awoken by your kisses
that sting across my collarbones,
by your sweet crooked smile
that glows brightly in the day,
by your gentle arms
as they engulf me in love
and passion.

my life will be
right before my eyes;
you, you are the one
that's stolen my heart forever and always.
