woMAN of my dreams
ashtonbrehite Feb 2018
Well hello my love, here I am wandering in your notes, in your files too feel close too you again. Too try too feel what you felt, and cry like you cried. I am here tonight too embrace the grace of your words & read not only with my eyes but too understand with my heart, that you. Oh my god, you are extravagant in every little way there is and like hair particles you've stuck too me, you've always been there even when I tried to force you away you've always been there like my best friend in the 4th grade. Tonight, tonight I want too tell you how love is so easily taken for granted. How it is forced upon then suddenly taken away, oh my God have mercy on my soul because if he said you weren't the one I'd swear he was lying. I swear he'd be lying if this wasn't love, because without this love there wouldn't be an us then I'd be forced too spell us without you. I'd swear he was lying because we held hands like field trips and we fought like sisters. I swear he was lying because there were days we laughed so hard only our hearts heard our voices because our mouths didn't make a sound. And I knew he was lying for how We cried like babies because we knew our love was wrong in the eyes of the right wing conservatives but if it was so wrong then why doesn't anyone else feel right in my arms like you do? if our love is a decision then just let me kiss your lips now like it was the first time I've ever touched them with mine, I promise I'll pay for my sins later, oh my god have mercy on me for the man of my dreams is a woman.

someone else.
ashtonbrehite Feb 2018
Sometimes i feel like my life is controlled by a substance so powerful that if i tried to fight it, it would be like tying a rope around my neck and pulling it until i collapse onto the ground. Have you ever felt as if your life isn’t yours? Well, that’s how i feel 99% of the time. I feel like I’m living for someone else but not myself. I wake myself up for someone else every morning just to walk into someone else’s building to sit at someone’s else’s computer and type someone else’s words. My life isn’t really mine. Don’t get me wrong, the words I’m typing now is my words but maybe that’s why they’re so inappropriate. Maybe my words are so inappropriate that there’s no way i could ever type my own words. I need help but i wouldn’t dare ask for it. I feel alone surrounded by hundreds of people. Is that normal? Is it normal to feel alone whenever I’m out with my friends? Maybe i should try to fight this substance. They will call it suicide but I’ll call it death on arrival because i didnt choose to come into this world and i didn’t choose to leave it. Someone else chose it for me. Someone else will say that i had a lot of issues but what someone else doesn’t know is that someone else is the cause of my issues. Someone else said that I could never survive someone else’s world but what if i never had a chance at surviving either. Someone else had a good chance at surviving but blew someone else’s brain onto the concrete just so someone else would take them out of this world. Someone else cried when someone else left but would someone else cry if i leave? Would someone else come to my rescue because someone else promised me they would save me?

I see you.
Not just the face you make when I say that.
Like, it’s not obvious that I actually see you
But I see the girl that just wants to be free.
I see the girl that just wants to love.
Me for me.
You for you.
I see the girl that’s been through so much hurt and pain
But is still willing to put her heart on the line
Like she’s gonna win the lottery.
You were never careful at picking your numbers.
But you picked me and you thought maybe this time you’ll get lucky.
Maybe this time you will hit the jackpot.
But darling, I’m telling you that luck doesn’t have anything to do with it.
I see you.
I see you when you smile but you just want to scream.
I see you when you laugh but you just want to cry.
I see you every time you’re willing to love again.
But no one is willing to love you back.
I see you like the wind.
not actually the wind itself
But when it’s so strong,
The trees look as if they’re dancing to their favorite song.
I see you like the rain.
But before it falls,
Because you’re determination fills the sky all at once.
I see you darling...
& I know that you’re just trying to see yourself.

"he"
ashtonbrehite Feb 2018
i kissed her soft lips and said goodbye
not knowing that same day will be so tragic.
my mom had just kicked me out for being a "****"
as she called it.
so i went to a "trusted" friends house
to spend the night.
it was a he and he knew everything about me,
even how i loved to "scissor"
as he called it.
i thought i knew everything about him too,
but that night was different.
that night he had wide eyes
and his entire demeanor had changed.
i didn't know this he
but where else could i go?
he gave me a "warm" blanket
and a "fluffy" pillow as i laid uncomfortable on the floor.
he asked,
"why did you come here and not go to your girlfriend's?"
i answered,
"her parents doesn't know about us."
and he laughed.
i dosed off.
that night i felt a presence i never felt before in my life.
the blanket became "cold"
and the pillow became "flat"
he became a "monster"
he covered my mouth with his hand
and told me to let him "finish"
i tried to scream
and i tried to move
but his heavy body would not allow any of that
that night i lost a "part" of me
that night i lost a "trusted" friend
that night i never want to "recall"
because that night was never "who i am"

i see the cuts on her arms and i wonder what kind of place she was in.. i wonder about her exact feelings/emotions at that moment. i can’t help but wonder who would hurt her to the point where she had to let some of the hurt out.. with a blade.. through her scars.. through her blood.. dripping. i wonder what it felt like when the blade touched her skin.. i wonder what was running through her mind or even if she wanted to die at that moment. i wonder who the fool was that took her joy away.. now, she has to hide all of the scars that once made her pain go away..

home (house)
ashtonbrehite Jul 2018
they say that home is where the heart is.
but lately, my heart has been shattered to a million pieces
I can't seem to put them together anymore.
I'm so tired of looking through the mess
to find the piece that is supposed to connect here.
my home hasn't felt like home in years.
this house is losing value.
because ever since you left,
the grass hasn't been mowed.
the shingles hasn't been replaced.
and I just found out today,
that my roof has a leak.
I can't seem to find the piece.
or peace.
which ever one will bring you back,
because this house is not a home without you.
the neighbors have been talking,
and I think they want me off their street.
but I just can't find the peace.
or piece.
which ever one will bring you back,
because this house is not a home..
without you.

You are so beautiful R.
I am tangled between your words and your character.
I am deeply in like with everything in between.

I am writing this to you because I can never speak the words I am typing. I can never be "up front with you" as you put it but baby, I'm telling you that I am up front with you. I am saying the words without you listening. I am speaking loud and clear. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MY DEAR. YOU ARE AMAZING. ANYONE WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO SEE THE BEAUTY THAT LIES WITHIN YOU. I SEE A GIRL THAT IS AFRAID OF ANYTHING THAT STANDS UP TO HER BUT I AM TELLING YOU THAT I AM HERE. I AM HERE TO SUPPORT AND TO BACK YOU UP 1000% OF THE WAY. I AM HERE TO SAY THAT I AM WILLING TO PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE FOR YOU AND JUST FOR YOU. CAN I BE HONEST? I LOVE WHEN YOU SING TO ME. YOUR VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL EVEN IF IT'S NOT BEAUTIFUL TO ANYONE ELSE. I AM HERE TO LISTEN. I JUST WANT YOU TO BE YOURSELF AND TO CATCH EVERYTHING I AM THROWING YOUR WAY. CAN YOU THROW IT BACK THOUGH? I AM NOT A WIDE RECEIVER BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST TO CATCH A HAIL MARY FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE FIELD. BABY LET ME BE YOUR STAR AND I'LL LET YOU BE THE FILM THAT I STAR ON. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL R AND I HOPE ONE DAY THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT JUST SPEAKING ABOUT YOUR LOOKS.

I’m sorry.
I tend to break hearts often.
May I just say that, my heart has five walls guarded by knights in black protecting it.
You only made it pass the first wall.
My heart is a stranger to everyone even myself.
She doesn’t speak to people she doesn’t know.
She carries herself like the First Lady
And these days, she’s been too busy for anyone.
You see, she is wise.
She has been in pieces more times than a puzzle.
She has been abandoned as if she was an orphan.
She’s very hard.
More hard than any crip or blood.
But might I add..
When she does wanna welcome someone,
She welcomes them with arms wide open.
So open that if she had wings,
She would soar through the sky.
When she lets down her walls,
You will see the most beautiful place ever.
Lost upon all the heart breaks and disappointments.
You will see her and wonder why she is so guarded.
She is guarded because she knows that people will not take care of her, like her.
So I’m sorry for breaking your heart multiple times.
These days, I just can’t get a hold of my heart.
