He'll make a fool
out of you,
just another tool.
You change your hair,
forget he's the only one
to hold your stare.

Alone on a chair,
chaotic bed.
He'll fill your head
with pretty nothings
until you are fed.
Crash to the ground,
you're the only one
to hear it's deathly sound.

A charming pacifist,
you'll meet him on a list.
He'll steal your name,
play pretend it doesn't
make him just the same.

All the castles he's built around heads,
they'll come crashing down.
I would never frown.
Pick one or two up,
leave that dead town
finally.

Maybe one day
i will write these down
on the paper of a notebook,
wrap it up
in colorful paper and
give it to you,
maybe with a bag
of chewy colors too.
Would it feel
nice to know how
much you could make
someone feel?
Would you let
everyone see what
you started meaning to me?
Would you make
a big deal
out of the real?
Would you just be
too embarrassed to
let anyone see
less alone read?
Or maybe
you would have
wished i'd said
something sooner,
would've brought forth
a spectacular
lunar.
Who knows.
But by that time,
i'll be long gone
after saving every dime.
It'll feel nice
to know someone
will always care.

She is a fire,
she doesn't need a man.

Full of desire,
she creates ships with sand.

Horns of survive,
she knows how to take stand.

Cold selfishness slams,
she's a child of Ram.

Undoubting strength,
she knows what is deceit,
she knows what to conceive.

Taken for granted,
she'll show you a hell slanted.
She is desire
with no fire
to experience or
witness your pacifier.

Give her your best,
she can ace all of the tests.

He sees her.
A dwindling spark of a flame,
never had the chance to know the worth of her own name.
She almost did once.
He doesn't care.
Lifetimes ago another he
would paint galaxies on her porcelain skin.
Intertwined as one,
she would have danced with him forever.
In a life of unfortunate events
and bad decisions with no room for amends.
She reaches for something akin to a home.
Empty handed,
she dances to the soft beat of a lonely heart.
Basking in the blue string hues,
alone in burdened room.

How does it
feel to kiss those
lips of yours?
They look
like soft clouds
made out of
heaven.

How does it
feel to hold
those big hands
and have them sculpt
the body,
making it feel
like classical art?

How does it feel
to be the reflection
that only your eyes
enjoy reflecting?

How does it
feel to be the
center piece of
the dining table
set in your mind?

How does it
feel to feel you
and to touch you
beyond that
perfect body?

How does it
feel to taste you?
Not just the
best parts, but
every part.
Your soul,
your mind,
your words.

How does it
feel to be yours,
to be something
your proud
to call your
home?

Finding beautiful art
that could have
been but isn't about you can
really break the heart
But I can daydream faces
in all the clouds
until one day someone
finds beauty in me
to make beautiful art.

You look at me
Like I should know,

I look at you
Every way I go.

You know where
To put on a show

And I wonder
Without the ****** hair,
Would I know?

And I go back,
Tell them I'd enjoy
A night in that bed.
And you're the one
Constantly messing with my head.

Rose-gold,
flared cheeks,
specks to tote.
He can find
quick fixes,
but they don't
mend all the mixes
in that lonesome soul.
Did he find it?
Does he have it

Is it more than
his bare soul could
ever bold?
a notch in his belt is all you'll ever be

Some people find God
Smoking a cigarette,
I found him in the way
I made them laugh
And it comes in the forms of colors
Like blue and green,
Brown and a slight tent of red
But it doesn't matter,
At least not most of them
Because it doesn't matter what I do
I will never know what it feels like
To know if you would have loved
Every color in me
I sometimes mistake certain colors
bluevelvet Nov 2017
Come on,
Color speck boy
It takes more than that this time

I can see through it
But I still have to look at the ground

Don't worry,
Color speck boy
It's like that with every guy
You are no different

Even the boys that don't
Make me feel intoxicated
Has the same power over me,
Makes me coward away
Like I'm indifferent, lacking,
Never good enough

And I've made plenty of them,
Color speck boy
If each mess was a drug
I would just now be coming down
From all the highs

So I'll stir it up and
Down it later,
Preferably in the dead of night
So no one can hear,
No one can see or know
That I am dying,
Crying for the things I lack,
The things I can never get back,
Every little and big things that
Make me not enough for the guys
That make us connected

Because you know of me,
I know of you
You've heard of me,
I have heard of you
But you will never know me
Like I want him to
bluevelvet Dec 2017
I'll drink
To the sunrise
And kiss goodbye
To your face
Because everything
Comes back to you
And I wish
I could start over
But there isn't
Anything left to say

So I'll cheers to
The best of me
Left on a shelf and
Everything I wish
I could've done right

It isn't who I am
And you don't want to
Know the real me
So I'll say goodbye
Because everything
Comes back to you

too bad your jokes in a lab
couldn't have been as funny as

bluevelvet Jun 2017
We were younger


You was lightning,


Fast and beautiful


And I was thunder,


Bold and truthful
I remember the feel of your hair
The way you had trouble looking at me
I braved through
I remember loving to look at you
Long arms spread out on that wooden table
You'd act so coy and confident
And I so badly wanted it

I was learning to flirt
If you want a girl,
You better work on those legs
And your hair?
It needs a change
"Well, how should I fix it?"
Do this and that,
I refused to do it for you
Because my poor stomach and chest
Were already feeling too much
I wouldn't have handled the spark
If our skin would have brushed
But I braved through it,
Did it a little bit

And we laughed while it got dark,
We laughed like we were little kids
And our faces were red
But it wasn't all from the laughing
And we'd catch each other staring
Learned to admire that sacred ground

We were younger
You was lightning,
Fast and beautiful
And I was thunder,
Bold and truthful

I stare at my wall now
Wonder how your hair feels now
Wonder who loves your legs now

She's a busy girl
but still finds the time
to let people's hearts shine.
Throwing jokes around,
she enjoys hearing
the loving laughter sound.

She's a joker,
a believer,
a toker,
a dreamer.

She makes you believe
everything she types
with her finger,
but doesn't stay long
to watch the destruction
she leaves behind linger.
She's a dancer,
the best queen
at the age of only seventeen.

You assume you're better

Are you sure?

I could snap you in half

If you'd like to grow some *****

Or maybe I'll look the other way

Because who even are you?

The equivalent of a gnat to my life

I'm replaceable and so are you

Yellow and white,
deep ultraviolet.
Wind tossed around,
carried in a fragile hand.
The outskirts lined with beauty,
the middle a land of decay.
Walking through land that
seen childhood play.
Shaky hand reaching to pluck
the ones that scream yuck.
He loves me,
he loves me not.
Until reach the ovule,
try to tear but would not budge.
Maybe grandmother will heal
with undying love.
it's common to still be a kid at heart.

Freckles,


         They just aren't on your face


And they connect more


      Than just random shapes on skin,


They connect people like


           Stars and galaxy's in the


Palms of the beholders.

With their big teeth
No longer scared on feet
We sit on wooden stool
Toast to the newest fool

Hands searching for
what isn't found anymore
We no longer wait by the door

We dance with wolves
paws slam like metal hooves
We only find the remaining goods

We are a creation of self design
Our actions make perfect align
It's the direction of a sign
We are equally divine

Cut my throat
Watch me choke
But every world is a haunting ghost
It's the kind you'll forget but find the most

Speak with deaf tones
I no longer throw those stones
But every word is carved in my bones
And your presence forever roams

It's a joke for the masses
Led by the best actress
She died one thousand times on the same mattress

But she's a forest fire that never dies
Pierced by every single lie
She has scars from every time

You might think you're better
Ahead of her you're so clever
But look a little closer
You will never break her

Tell me all of your
favorite games
And I'll spend my
days and nights finding
all the cheat codes
but only in exchange
of you touhing me
in places that curl my toes.
This forbidden fruit
could rule kingdom's that
no man with another man
ever could dream of.
My face isn't perfect,
my body is no mold
for billboards or magazines.
My heart is scarred,
my mind is a war field.
But these hands
could bring life while
touching your treasured places.
And this soul
is filled with tulips and dandelions that would take a lifetime to memorize.

A downtown
queen,
She finds solace in being
seen.
The loneliest of
birds,
she doesn't like it when
these feelings are
stird.
Would it have helped
if I had more
beauty?
Four foot something,
but I don't like myself
with dark hair.
Would it have helped
to have been a little more,
or a whole lot more,
trusting?
I'm sorry,
I know it's a continues
recycling of things that
didn't, doesn't, and
never will matter.
But memories, ideas
and impossible dreams
like to come back as waves
in the form of
dark blue scatter.
i'm incredibly naive.
bluevelvet Jun 2017
I hope you do.
I hope you live life to the fullest.
Enjoying every moment,
Never wasting time on regret.

I hope you travel the world.
I hope you search every corner
And find everything in you.

I know you won't think about it
And I know I have changed sides
And every aspect of my mind everyday

But finding you gave me that feeling again,
The kind you probably don't remember.

I hope you have endless life
I hope you collect everything with your mind.
I hope you love fiercely
And never have doubt
And I'll sit here, relive the past and wonder how it'd feel to cry on your face. And beg to be forgiven for my unforgiving mistakes.
bluevelvet Jun 2017
The ultimate question here.

Do I sleep my life away or

Do I forgive myself for the things I can't change?

Because they aren't losing sleep over my pain

And you can never take back the things you did but it doesn't mean it's who you are anymore.

i don't love-love you anymore,

Cold night
There was nothing
feeling at all right
Just looking for
my next fix
to tame the itch
ironically ended up
stranded in a ditch
I was being the normal
obnoxious *****
Asked for help
You're good at lying

concentrating on keeping
this feeling of dyin'
And I need help sleeping
But I'm staring at dandelions
and miss the timing.

Let's talk about depression
And genetic resemblances

I get my unflattering resemblance from my father,
My mental illnesses from my mother
My addictions?
Well they course through both sides

I'm not on the verge of paranoia anymore
Or maybe it's just like,
If you want to **** me
Go for it
I feel completely dead and alone
And you might think it's narcissistic but
I know very few would attend my funeral

I had this strange behaver
I used to tell people all these sweet things,
And I meant them because
I wanted people to feel good for themselves
But I also just wanted people to grow feelings for me

To prove there was something
Worth seeing in me

And the absolute tragic thing is?
I know someone would hold my hands
While they shake
They won't second guess why
I can't look at their face

But I just have this nagging feeling
That they will disappear because
They won't see anything worthwhile in me
Like every boy has before

If people feel like
They know what you
Deserve
I'd surely hate that for them
Look at me,
Feel me,
Breathe me,
You will never be me
Keep it to yourself,
You'll get yours too
For thinking you can
Dish out what someone
Deserves
Cherry with your dessert, sir?

He said whenI was little I used to be so sweet. I'd go hug strangers no matter what.

He said a lot of people lack what I have. I brighten peoples days and I make differences in their lives.

I cried because my life is falling apart. I cried because I'll never know if I made a difference in your life.
I don't feel like I make differences in people's lives anymore

The past doesn't follow you

I'm not saying it'll ever leave you.
But one of these days,
while you're busy writing stories,
I'll be off making memories.
And you can drown in the

but honestly,
where will that leave us to stand?
Other than you,
I have always been

By choice or not,
the silence is the only
friend I need.
And while you think you're a winner,
my mind is filled mostly
with thoughts of
having McDOnald's for dinner.

Deep in thought,
mind rushes to what I could
not have bought.
You take me there,
warm my body,
fill my head with buzzing air.
Life full of ******,
you never dared to care.

Metal with finger tips,
you were the bestest,
my favorite trip.
In the ocean blue,
the same color of your tin,
I wait for only you.

Dive in, dive deep
in darkest blue, my sweet.
Rushing up from the water where the ice meets.
And you've been gone so long,
you missed everything.

Have you seen what I'm working with now?
I'm running it into the ground,
Bringing it to my level.
You were down here once, too.
I'm ultimately sure of it.
Are you doing your smirk at my sad existence?
Or just watching it pass by?
Maybe that salt life is still calling your name.
It's funny either way,
You have a way of popping up.
I wanted to ask you why you used to look at me like that.
Used to, that's the big part.
Now you can't even look at me,
Red means go to me,
Just in my head for a minute.
The sweet relief of metal in my side and broken glass in my skull.
Just a minute of daydreaming of everything ending.
Maybe if it was on the couch and the scratching of nails
From my dog being locked in its crate,
Heavy breathing was heard.
I would have asked you and now, years later,
A different house and a different couch,
That grasshopper noise would stick with me
Why am I writing about this?
Why do I even think about it?
This year has been a record breaking year.
I'm no longer negative about anything,
Just my self and my sad existence.
I guess that's what happens when you've finally
Been hit with a train wreck and you're frozen,
Grounded to the spot with the hard hitting reality
That everything is my fault.

When something he says
brings up moments past
that play in your head,
does your eye twitch?

He must touch you better,
***** you heavier.
Does he love you just as clever?
Does he write you beautiful letters?

My love for you died
in the backseat of his car.
Just wish I could learn
to stop breathing life
into our scars.

You see,
my love for you died
when you brought storms
to my face in a way
I never knew still existed.
I thought my life
had hit the rockiest of bottoms,
giving no reason to mourn
like that again.

But the day I thought
would've never come,
was the day I realized
I was no longer you're favorite sun.
bluevelvet May 2017
You desired me
to understand,
wanted me to
be a friend.

You turn your back,
overlook the drowning hand.
You wanted revenge,
you wanted it
to be an end.

Begging to believe,
you got the best of me.
I was the change,
you moved forward
but still stuck in same.

To be victor,
you long for
the moment to leave
the final lasting mark.
The kind to
illuminate in the dark.

You get what you get,
that's a funny saying.
Who will give you
what you give,
if what you give is outlash
from the payback
of what you got
from what you gave?

You're sitting high and mighty,
up above in that head.
What'll happen when
you're the one left for dead?
But I wouldn't wish that on you.
I'm not the one
saying I'm better,
I'm just the one
saying I grew farther
in that matter,
along with many others.

Throw your head back fast,
Don't over think it,
Lids closed don't last
Eyes down to fit

Wooden table with years of weather
It's probably long gone,
Replaced with something better

You find comfort in knowing
That new trees are growing
To build new tables

And you'd sit at the table,
Place it in the same spot
And wait for a dying fable

You would sit there forever
For him to find a little down time
Because he knows how to be clever
Turn the ending sublime
And make you feel better
When you knew it was the end of the line

At least I did one thing right,
Standing in November rain
I wouldn't put up a fight
Take away the pain,
Would you hold me tight?

Sun shines through,
I want to be someone you never knew,
Someone that is brand new
Better than the other few

Smoking whatever you want to,
I could die just being here with you
You seem like someone I always knew
Breath it in and I'm feeling blue

My walls down,
You seen me and no longer frown,
Blue turns to brown
And I hit the hard cold ground

I want to wrap you up,
Protect you like a new born
But you've out grown me
Do you remember?  
You stared like you always wanted it
And you're so fit
How could I compete
When I'm not a skinny babe?

They tell me I'm skinning down,
The less I eat the more chance
Someone like you turns around
And my heart would make all these sounds

Would it be enough?
Years ago, shine shows through
The lucky part is I could die
Laughing with you.
bluevelvet Jun 2017
I wonder if you could read

The things I write now,

Would they somehow make you proud?

Or would you just remember

The words of a fifteen year old girl

That didn't even write them,

Just formed to fit her current mood

And have they?

Are your dreams beautiful?

More than you could have ever hoped for?

I hope they are.
Life can be hard life can be confusing but know this life can be amazing and beautiful so don't give up and keep on trying beacuse one day your dreams will come true and you will be free to be what you want to be

The lacrimal caruncle
swells with blistering feeling,
flooding out the medial canthus.
It streams down the nasion,
dancing over the pinken,
inflamed to a roaring raw cheek.
Landing on dirtied and tore cloth,
used with the moisture to wipe
all the dust away from every memory,
even when it's possibly too late.

Now there is hardly anything
to be discovered in all of this.
You have done a decent job,
your hands are tired from it all.
Weak and brittle,
you still know now.
You know it could go every single way wrong,
it could be a waste of time,
it could hurt you beyond any kind of repair.

But you know.
You know it's him.
You know it will always be him.
It will always be him
that you wish to lay beside,
it will always be him
that you want to feel,
it will always be him
that you feel everywhere you go.
It will always be him.
And no one else.

I know what you're thinking
I'm playing the victim,
Poor me in the absolute
Basic of ways

I know what you see
And I know what you say
This lost soul,
Nothing going for them at all

And you would be absolutely right.
About every little thing you think of me
But I'm not playing the victim,
Or my best hand at guilt tripping

I took responsibility
For ruining everything at my own free will,
With these very hands
That shake and hurt and tremble,
Freeze while holding a cold one

Because I can't drink this lonely away,
I can't forget their faces and
All of my many mistakes

I am dead inside with the slightest
Insight of the person you admired me for
The one that cared too much,
That wanted the best for everyone
But myself,
The charmer and protecter

I can't shake this alone away,
Everyone's found something so much better
And well,
There's nothing left for me,
No room or time to care about me

I wish I could die but
I also wish I could just go back in time

Even with bettering my life
This feeling of utter aloneness
Would still thrive on the flickering flame
Of everything I will never truly be again

Her daddy once said
to watch out for
the monster's 'round here.
She played it off,
acted all fine.
She walks out and looks around,
wait for them to dine.
Meat is plenty,
but if a soul they long for,
a pathetic one is
all to be found.
She tries a hand at optimistic,
she doesn't like it when someone feels pessimistic.
She isn't artistic,
she isn't easy on the eyes.
She can make anyone laugh,
she's always there for one's that try to play fine.
She cries because she feels alone,
she just wants her heart that was dipped in gold
back from such an evil throne.
Here's something you never knew:
Her favorite is provolone.

So I search for new and

i hope that one day

being the selfish lover you love to be.
and i hope one day
you find it in you to understand
there is beauty in everyone,
even when you think you're a burnt out star.
forgive me for still caring,
maybe one day you'll need someone
and realize i will always be there.
it probably makes me stupid,
borderline pathetic.

The smell of gas
I watch airplanes pass
Wonder what it feels like
To have a place far away to go,
Travel desert sand on motor bike
With a gruff momentary
Love of my life

But my hands are
Too busy shaking
From too much energy,
An idea of saving faded greenery,
Or faded high from a puffing buzz-y

One time
Two times
Three does the trick
I would laugh but
I'm honestly too tired
To use that much muscle
And plus
It keeps your face looking younger
If you don't smile enough
And judging by indifference
We could use a little less ugly

And my eyes,
They'd rather roam
Every inch of land that my feet track
Than fall
For the trick.
Fur's not scary in daylight

I'm messing up
And I'm messing up bad
And my dad says to not worry
But we're losing the house probably
And I haven't done anything with my life
And now every time I mess up
I'm back to being fourteen
I feel you now
It was fast
Everything is so fast now
And I breathe in and you're in the air
I scrub my skin but you're in my veins
I cry and your the salt I taste
And I want to throw my head back
But you're the water above my head
And I have never wanted a promise kept so much
But I've messed up
And now I just want to be more numb
Than any pill I've ever taken

Lip rings and tattooed hands,
They aren't here to mend any fences

I'm a broke soul
Looking for a way home
I never worked good on my own

And I need something that doesn't care,
Something that passes me by but I feel it's there

I had a dream not so long ago,
New place and eating my ****** lunch
He comes up and asks if Im okay
I look like death past the decayed

Lost weight and eyes sunk in,
But from even the view point of him
I knew it was pure and good

That's all I have left for holding on
I would give up but I just can't
Find the way to let go

To stop everything
bluevelvet May 2017
the green is round and
it beacons me to hit send.
just to say hi,
maybe 'how was your day?'
i want to ask you everything from;
what food you love?
do you like cats or dogs better?
what is your favorite color?
what is your favorite weather?
do you type your words out
or save time with u instead of you?
what scares you
and what dreams do you want to come true?
I know it doesn't matter,
but how do you like to be flattered?
but i dont even hit the bubble
because everything surrounding you is trouble.
i just made this up. isnt that just funny?
