honey
Its 1am and Im searching for you in the bottom of every bottle.
He's asking me about my poetry but how am I supposed to tell him that my poems are for you and I wont stop writing until Im tangled in your bed sheets for the rest of my life?
He is sweet and polite but he doesnt wrap his hands around my neck and the way you do.
There's something so tragically beautiful in the honesty slipping from my finger tips, because while he's tracing my spine I am consumed with the taste of your skin on my lips and the feeling of your hands against my hip bones.
Its 1am and im wondering if you're searching for me in the unfamiliarity of others, hoping you might smell my scent on her collarbones or feel my skin under her dress.
Out of all the boys ive kissed, you were my favourite by the way you looked me in the eyes with those hands clasped around my neck, no fear of squeezing too hard.
Its 1am and he's holding my hand but you're strangling my heart and these words are seeping out of my skin. No one makes me bleed like you
only you, always
you

If you shot me with a gun
I'd probably apologise to you
I say sorry for everything
Cause that is what I've learnt to do
They tell me not to say I'm sorry
Cause it's not like it's my fault
But I just want to make them happy
And it kills me when they're not.

If someone you loved had passed away
I'd probably blame it on myself
Cause everything is my fault
I'll keep my problems on my shelf
They tell me not to apologise for my existence
But what a sorry existence I am
I crave someone to make me happy
But no one out there gives a ****.

They say I need to learn to say no
But the words won't leave my mouth
And even when I am not happy
I'll try not to make a sound
And I can learn to find my voice
Or I can stay in the same place
I know I'll never be happy
If I keep putting on a brave face
So tonight I'll rest my bones
And when the sun comes up at dawn
I wont apologise for you
No I won't say sorry to you any more.
This was actually written as a song but I guess it counts as a poem still.

Wild;
The lines are obscured
Between who is there to feed you
And who is out there for themselves.
You're a parasite, you pacify my voice
So I can't scream it's muffled
In my messed up brain
I go insane to take my rains off.

Beast;
The mirror is obscured
Between what is real to me
And what is the real world.
You're an animal you amplify my need to run
Away in darkness
To a wasteland where
I find my place and I am my own boss.
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

I'm losing myself
Trying to make people happy
Who can never truly be pleased
I'm spreading my wings
Only for the feathers to be plucked away
You leave me bare
Not even dignity to protect me -
Yet I know there are no gates of heaven waiting for me
I'm no pure angel
But please "salvate" me
So I'm losing a battle over and over
I'm ****** to purgatory.
