Curse
Caroline E Jan 2016
Curse my sense of touch.
Because of it, I wouldn't have thought that the feeling of being in your arms felt like I was finally home.

Curse my sense of smell.
Because of it, I inhaled your aroma when I hugged you; it's addictive.

Curse my sense of hearing.
Because of it, I was able to hear your voice and every time you spoke it was so soothing and intriguing.

Curse my eyes.
Because of them, I was able to see your beautiful face.

Curse my mind, for keeping you there all the time
And curse my heart, for thinking you were the one.
Without the poem of a great writer (*cough cough* m i a ), I wouldn't have been able to gather inspiration to write with this one. <3

The Opposite
Caroline E Jan 2016
When we fall in love we believe that the other person is the one who you were meant to be with; your soulmate, your everything
And you believe that this person is what you have been looking for all this time and that it won't ever work with somone else...

All these beautiful hopes become nightmares when we realize that everything turns out the opposite of what you most wished for.

We Fit
Caroline E Jan 2016
Two broken pieces of the same object always fit together.
Maybe that's why you and I were made for each other.

Caroline E Jan 2016
'It is in finding yourself that you will be able to find joy in this world...'*

But how can I ever find myself when I've been left in maze without a compass or map?
Just contradicting my own ideas.

I Shouldn't Be Silent
Caroline E Jan 2016
I'm afraid of making mistake, I'm afraid of saying something wrong
So that's why I don't talk whenever you're around.
But at the same time, if I don't ever talk to you or tell you how I feel,
Isn't that making a mistake too?
Jan 2016 · 625
3:48 p.m.
Caroline E Jan 2016
Why can't I get you off my mind?
Your name plays over and over in
my head all the time
I can't seem to think about something other than you
I love you, that's true
But why does the thought of you make me sad and blue?

Around You I'm Silent
Caroline E Jan 2016
"You're very quiet," he says.
"You don't speak much, do you?" He says.

Darling, I've got a lot too say;
I'm just afraid of making a mistake.
I don't speak; I don't want the wrong things coming out of my mouth whenever I'm with you.
Jan 2016 · 233
Indecisive
Caroline E Jan 2016
I love you
I don't need you
My heart can't seem to decide
My mind can't seem abide to one side
Love is a confusing, devastating, beautiful ride
Jan 2016 · 363
4:29 p.m.
Caroline E Jan 2016
Your name is added to the list of mistakes I've made.

Caroline E Jan 2016
Sometimes we leave because we want to
try and forget,
But sometimes all we really do is
remember and relive

The Sea (2)
Caroline E Jan 2016
I'm stuck in a sea full of fantasies...
Maybe it's reality that will
bring me back to shore.

The Journey
Caroline E Jan 2016
I have walked a long way, have made a long journey
At the beginning of my voyage there was a smooth road ahead of me
I thought that this was going to be easy
But oh, how wrong was I.
Later boulders and rocks made me fall and scrape my knees
I began to bleed
But I got up and said I was going to complete this journey.
Later I encountered rainstorms that left me damp
Earthquakes that shook the whole world around me
Wild fires that left me burnt
Blizzards that left me freezing
And hurricanes that desroyed everything
And again I fell, but I couldn't let it stop me
Then a mounatin came into view
And I started to climb
I fell once, I fell again, and I thought I was going to die
But I decided to give it one more try
And finally I made it to the top and saw the sunrise
But I looked ahead and saw that this journey wasn't done just yet...
I looked at my scars from the past and remembered what I've completed and what brought me to today
So I put a smile on my face and continued, because I knew I was going to be okay.
Life is full of many things, sad and happy moments, but a 'human's life is a beautiful mess.' We have to keep our heads up and continue this journey consisting of ups and downs.

The Sea
Caroline E Dec 2015
Although I love to swim in a sea
of thoughts, hopes, and dreams,
I often drown.

The Light
Caroline E Dec 2015
The light to guide our way to happiness isn't a lamp
It is in finding yourself that you will be able to find
Joy in this world
Dec 2015 · 206
9:57 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
Sometimes our silence
Speaks more than words.

Figures
Caroline E Dec 2015
It's a shame falling for the
wrong people
thinking they were the
right ones.
Dec 2015 · 211
Mistakes
Caroline E Dec 2015
Mistakes.
Yeah, we're all humans and we're not perfect so they're normal
But thing is I keep making them every single time.
It's like someone telling you to not go through this certain path because there's a hole, and you see the hole and you assure them that you won't, but that's the first thing you do.
You then get out of the hole, but you keep going through that same path again.
And that's me. I keep going through that path and falling and getting out, falling and getting out, until one day I'll  fall again and won't be able to climb back out.
Basically my whole life. I never learn.
Dec 2015 · 228
4:43 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
You'll never be mine,
But I'll still love you
From afar.

10:10 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
We're all a little broken and messed up inside, aren't we?
Dec 2015 · 217
8:41 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
Oh, will there ever come a time when I
finally stop messing everything up?

Feelings
Caroline E Dec 2015
Feelings...
Confusing aren't they?
Dec 2015 · 415
Opening
Caroline E Dec 2015
She was a quiet girl who wouldn't speak her loud mind
Luckily she found good people who
Encouraged her to say all the wonderful words she had been saving
I am so grateful for the people I've met. My friends have changed my life and are always there for me.
Dec 2015 · 220
12:58 a.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
Oh, why do we keep thinking  
About those who did us wrong?
Why do we still want them in our lives?
Dec 2015 · 203
12:42 a.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
So tired of jumping of off skyscrapers
For people who won't even try to catch me

Labyrinth
Caroline E Dec 2015
Stuck in my own misery
The twists and turns never seem to end
I can't find my way out of this labyrinth of sadness
Dec 2015 · 186
1:10 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
Am I suffering from my own imagination
Or am I suffering from actual reality?

I can't distinguish the differences anymore.

Tears
Caroline E Dec 2015
For you I've cried tears
Rivers of tears
That turned into oceans of tears
In which I have drowned in their sadness in which they came with.
Dec 2015 · 652
Your Arms
Caroline E Dec 2015
I feel like I would be better if your arms were wrapped around me
But at the same time
I feel like I'm going to burst into tears
if you touch me
Dec 2015 · 154
Dark
Caroline E Dec 2015
I was in the dark
And my sightless eyes touched something sharp
I kept on trying grab it
Didn't know how much pain it caused me
Until I decided to turn on the light
And saw all the blood on my hands
Dec 2015 · 273
3:09 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
So broken
I got used to the insults
The lies...
The pain is now a normal  
Thing to me.
Dec 2015 · 204
8:48 a.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
You may see the bright
In my eyes, but the truth is
I feel dead inside.
Haiku.
Dec 2015 · 172
Bullets
Caroline E Dec 2015
Your mouth- the gun.
Your voice- the trigger.
Your words- the bullets,

The bullets that have broken my heart, my mind, and my soul.
Dec 2015 · 239
6:03 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
I said my biggest fear is forgetting
But oh how I wish you were just another face in the crowd
Dec 2015 · 806
Thoughts
Caroline E Dec 2015
I used to like being alone because I had time to think.

Now I fear being alone, because there's too many things on my mind.
Before, I simply thought about the world. Now, when I'm alone, all I think is about the mistakes I've made and how sad I've become. Thoughts, they ruin me.
Dec 2015 · 176
The Strings
Caroline E Dec 2015
I used to be an instrument that played harmonious sounds when its
strings were touched by others.

Until one day you came along
and tried to play me
But it turns out your fingers were knives that 'broke my strings'.
A little reference is made from the book 'Paper Towns' by John Green.  The strings inside me broke... And the instrument cannot play like it used to anymore.

Just Smile
Caroline E Dec 2015
The frown on my face makes people tell me,

"Just smile!"

But it takes all the strength in the world to make even the smallest grin.
Dec 2015 · 203
11:19 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
All those memories of you are being washed away
But sooner or later they find their way back to shore.
Dec 2015 · 248
Why?
Caroline E Dec 2015
Why do we spend our time thinking of those who won't even take a second to think about us?

Why do waste all our love on people who won't even give us the smallest piece of their hearts?

Why do we even have the slightest hope in them?

Why do we even think that they're worth missing?
Some of life's hardest questions.
Dec 2015 · 178
You
Caroline E Dec 2015
You
I want to forget everything
about you...
But I still want to remember it all.
Dec 2015 · 197
The Wrong Key
Caroline E Dec 2015
I never gained the real key to your heart, did I?
Then why did you pretend that the
Key I had
Did unlock it?
Dec 2015 · 174
To You I Was...
Caroline E Dec 2015
To you I was nothing...
I was nothing but a single flower in a garden
I was nothing but a small star in a galaxy
I was nothing but a line in a book
I was nothing but a single blade of grass in a field
I was nothing but a small speck in a grand piece of art
I
was
nothing
Dec 2015 · 160
Butterfly
Caroline E Dec 2015
My heart is like a butterfly
So thin
So delicate
So fragile
And also like a butterfly I have wings
So I'll fly away if you don't catch me
Dec 2015 · 175
7:33 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
In a room full of people
Yet I feel so lonely
Dec 2015 · 199
11:20 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
"You deserve more than him," they said.

"There's someone better for you," they said.

But, what if that 'someone better' never comes
And he's the best that I'll ever have?
Dec 2015 · 254
10:05 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
So many "what ifs" left unanswered
That they start to **** me slowly inside
Dec 2015 · 135
The Question
Caroline E Dec 2015
Why do I even care so much about you?*

The hardest question I've ever asked myself,
And still cannot find the answer to.
Dec 2015 · 555
9:37 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
One of the worst things in life is when someone doesn't love you back.
You have so much love to offer them,
But sadly they don't see you the way you see them.  
No one can be forced to love us, but it still hurts.
Sometimes it's not because of something you don't have  
But they just don't love you back.
Some of us cannot accept this terrible truth,
So we blame other things, other people,
And we try to find some sort of explanation for this atrocity
And that's when we go insane
Dec 2015 · 559
9:42 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
Words can hurt,
But the silence kills me.
Dec 2015 · 166
12:21 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
A smile you may see on my face
Or maybe the brightness in my eyes
But what hides behind those curved up lips that signify happiness
And those illuminated eyes that say they've seen nothing but Heaven
Are lips that speak of grief
And eyes that shine with pain
While a river of tears streams down my cheeks.
Dec 2015 · 207
10:26 p.m.
Caroline E Dec 2015
No one is forced to love us,
But it still hurts when they don't.
