Fighter for a Cause.
Claire Ellen Mar 2015
So my knight,
if you are ready for the fight,
Kneel and look up to me
as I bestow my love.
You are sir of my thoughts
running them around on your horse,
You are kind of my eyes,
for who else can behold?
You are Duke of my lungs,
stealing each breath away.
But dont forget!
Most important of all!
Knight of my heart
Knight of my life.
My knight in shinning armor.
Climb off your high horse,
to kiss this little bird hello,
and I will devote each kiss
with a purpose, none for show!
Each kiss will be,
for love of my life, eternity
Each kiss laid on your skin
for passion.
Each kiss to pass by and by
for prof the only flight
in my heart is from your
delight.

Paths.
Claire Ellen Mar 2015
Lungs collapsing.
Full with cold.
Tears or sweat;
Mix on my face.
How often I question
my tired bones.
Please dont fail me now.
Structures build up
to benefit me,
but all I see,
is the change and regret.
Pouring from within,
Oh my dear, Dont go...
I only want some time for me
to think clearly.
I dont want to lose you,
But cant you see??
Sometimes the runaway,
just might be me.

No More Tears to Cry.
Claire Ellen Mar 2015
My outside is fake, hard, plastic.
My insides dying to come out! express.
No Barbie could ever see through this mess.
Fighting for a relationship is worth it,
until the fighting is done,
and still not gain has been made.
Still not solving solved.
How happy I was a year ago,
How happy I was in the shower,
And it is always your fault.
You are a selfish manipulator,
that always gets your way.
***.... For church?
I stand for my religion
and you knock out my feet.
I stand for my God,
and you knock out my knees.
I am an astronaut painting,
Painting my own universe,
slowly shattering and being painted over
by your own self,
How can you be so stone cold,
How can you not trust?
After all this my trust, is still away,
So no more slowing down.
I am done.
Not more convincing or holding back
I have got the reigns with no slack.
Manipulate all you want, you'll never get your way.
Because finally I realize it should never be this way.
Something you cant find
Take me back to the shower,
how happy I was!
and now, I've lost it...
Who knows when it will return.
Butterflies cant be kept in a box.
not matter how beautiful
they suffocate slowly and die,
when their job is to bring new life.

Punch.
Claire Ellen Mar 2015
In the kindest way...
I just want to shake you!
And knock what I am saying into your head
... out of love.
I just want to grab you!
And slap my emotions onto your heart,
I love you too.
I want the best for us too.
So how come when I correct you,
It s all fighting and my fault?
But you correct me, I am at fault.
I want my heart and my brain
to feel your love.
Not just my ****.
Is that to much to ask?
I love you too.
Just listen to these words,
Please.
Respect and communication is all I want.
No bows, or diamonds, just us.
Just you. Just your whole heart.
In my hands
: All said out of love.

Home.
Claire Ellen Mar 2015
With heats so wild
we need cages of bones,
to hold back these wonderful desires.
Slowly I am wandering further
getting lost in your love,
and consumed by your fire.
Windows are wide open
peering in from my heart to yours,
And i have only one small drop
of knowing in my soul.
My bones rattle as I fix on you,
and by far out of my grasp
only your sheets know how
we speak,
and only your love knows
the others heart.
For you are mine and I am yours,
bound not by law, but power above.
To great for this world,
my speech falls short,
done without haste,
I am a drop with the force of gravity,
concerning your love.

Held In.
Claire Ellen Nov 2014
the park bench,
the letters,
the hands on each other,
the new commitment,
it all ended that Wednesday,
I walking with someone new,
and from the look in your eyes,
I knew you were through.
I have left you before, much like this,
and my dear, I trully regret.
I wonder each night,
what my life would be like,
If I had run with you.
3182,
I have eluded to you,
much before in my previous poems.
I love you, and always will
I regret every night, not keeping my focus on you.
3182,
I left you with heart fixed to break
as deeply as mine had broke.
3182,
I am sorry that I now cant take back what I did.
Now I am stuck, and I cant get out.
But if I ever did,
know that your arms would be,
the only ones to comfort me.

Babysitting.
Claire Ellen Nov 2014
These October days,
Filled with leaves and silence,
I need to learn how to write,
In happiness.
Poetry gets my feelings on the page,
Something I lost when I started with you.
My feelings all go on to
Riley.
I am sorry but for most of my life,
I haven’t been as happy as I am with you.
So my poetry has all been blue.
Life has ups and downs,
It just so happens everyone has left me down trodden.
My love, I am not mad my poetry has gotten less and less,
Its that I feel bad all my anger appears on my skin.
My love for you has grown and grown,
And all I do to show that is moan and groan.
My heart can take so much pain,
And with you its all whipped away.
My love, what I am trying to say,
Is that you and me
IS my poetry.
I write it on my heart and on yours,
But now I am going to try to write happy poetry
So I can show,
That with you my heart always glows.

Finally.
Claire Ellen Sep 2014
runners usually have two legs,
two lungs,
and two eyes.
Although some runners only have 1 lung.
And throughout this life time, they are looking for the other.
The race is going to be hard with one,
thats why i found you.
My other stronger lung.
Help me through the race, for i am ingured,
and i need a boost.
Carry me to the car, and dance with me in the hotel room.
I will be okay.
Help me when i cant reach the sugar,
and always pull up the covers to cover our faces.
the race is long, and it is also way to short.
if you finish out of breath you have probably done well,
and you make me paint.
if you finish in breath and time,
you have probably missed out on the view.
Take me to Horsetooth,
and look at our city,
we built this place,
and we made memories in every street corner,
and every back parkinglot.

Taken.
Claire Ellen Aug 2014
I miss who I was sometimes.
I miss my nose ring,
my faith,
my continuous laughter,
my flaws being qualities,
my love for other people,
my freedom.
sometimes I miss who I was,
I miss writing,
I miss reading,
I miss.

Claire Ellen Jul 2014
Oh how silly of me to have not chased you out the door.
How silly of me to have actually texted you.
How silly of me to have led you on.
How stupid of me to have continued.
How stupid can a girl be?
When her lover is gone,
and all she can think of is love?
How come I say one thing,
and do another?
Where did the days go where I did what I wanted?
I didnt worry about approval, secrets, or life.
Do I miss those days, or am I glad I am moving on to a new chapter?
A beautiful girl like me lost in this world and sea.
Moving so fast i cant cacth the ground
i cant calm my feet.
I am not floating nor walking.
I am running at my own world pace,
and as it quickens my legs drift into a new world,
while my mind is in the old.
I can focus I can do this,
but there is still so much fear of,
I cant.
Some one hear my call,
someone hear my plea,
I am sitting right beside you on the bus,
I am the girl in the coffee shop, waiting room, stop light,
everyone has problems big and small
everyone has a weakness large or big.
Everyone has secrets deep and wide.
I have a past,
and you have a future together we can make a life time.
I have a passion and you have a yern
we can make a family.
no way to end or begin besides by jumping in.

Make me your Pygmalion Statue,
while this love is running warm in my veins.
While the blood is warm,
make me so I will never change.

Make me your statue for
fear of loosing you is a strange thing.

Claire Ellen May 2014
Natural beauty doesnt attract attention.
I am out on this marvelous adventure,
and so often I narrow that down,
to work and ***.
This adventure where,
in the same moment I am in,
so are people hiking up Everest.
But the money,
But requesting off work.
Is there really any good time to go,
to go and run?
But the sights,
But the experience,
Is there really any better reason?
The time is now,
and one more day here,
is
not
going
to
do
it
for
me. Hello, barren new world,
Let me be the one to scatter your seeds,
and make you wonderful.
The life is so full,
Why no drink from it.
The life is so vast,
Why not start now.
The life is motivational,
Why not lead.
Here I come, and
starting tonight, I am planning my next biggest adventure.
Tomorrow.

Reflections.
Claire Ellen Apr 2014
Some of my hopes flew away,
some of my dreams met reality.
Some of your wild left with the wind
some of your maturity grew again.
This humanity blind,
is unfortunately bound to a life,
with no passion.
Only Pintrest and dreams,
But our eyes are not shut,
the can see into the vast, open, waiting,
            Future.
We  can make imagination run free
           In this world.
Your smart and I'm by your side.
Lets fly away and realitize all around us.
Give 110% at everything eve if its nothig.
The wild is ever entreanching,
and the tames is ever defeating.
Secrete lover lets get out,
and do, our thing.
Leave this drama,
Leave this behind.
Grow in love, is the only way.
The light is shinning and I'm
getting there fast.

The Inside Soul.
Claire Ellen Apr 2014
With buckled knees,
and sweaty palms;
This girl have never been here before,
short dress and scandalous ******,
this girl knows and doesn't know,
what to expect.
With heels so high and bangles up and down,
she knows she rocks the show.
The guys all stare and she knows
tomorrow wont matter.
But boys, please don't ruin her.
Please let her be.
Tell her she is pretty,
and give her a night she wasn't expecting.
With jeans and a tee shirt
this boy is ready to go.
Showy shoes and styled hair,
he knows how he looks.
with big hands and moving feet,
he is ready for another wasted night
with a new wasted girl.
But girls, please don't ruin him.
he is fresh and creative,
show him that you can be smart and ****,
give him a night that will
keep him wrapped around your finger
for all nights after.
All it takes is a different kind,
to open the eyes of humanity blind.

Can sometimes be hard

Especially when you not sure,
What to progress,
With no grades to raise,
and no friends to impress;
life is pretty simple when,
all you do is
work and ***.

Around the Corner.
Claire Ellen Mar 2014
You pressed up against the glass,
staring at me from across the room.
and to think you are now seeing me naked.
you hit me like a wave,
and knocked me onto your bed,
knowing your next move already,
and predicting mine, but never being right.
I and You always have the element of surprise.
Foggy hot breath on your shoulder,
and strong big hands on my back.
This is a part of love I never knew of,
till you laid me down in the grass field of
vast discovering.
The power of one is many,
and the power of two is flaming.
lay me down in sheets of black
and never take me back.
Getting lost in this love
that people thought you could never achieve.
Do it with me,
discover my body and I will discover your mind.
Uncover my love, and I will uncover your secrets.
Too close for comfort?
Or way to comfortable to leave?
late summer nights and late winter days,
snow, rain, and fights,
we always make it right.
Rings, jackets, and car drives,
we can make it anywhere.
Your body on my body or contrary,
we always make it to the top.
Better lovers than A and Z.
I cant stop with the loving you,
drinking or feeding
taking or giving both are in mind
when my addictive habits towards you
take control and I no long realize
that I am slowly consuming every part of you,
and you of me.
Not in a "controlling" or "red flag" way,
but more of a "we were meant to be,
so why be apart"? kind of way.
No using or forgetting birthdays,
this is as real as it gets.
and no one is getting in my way of you.
and no one is is my line of view
future is coming fast too,
so what do you want to do?
California with hot beach and love?
Colorado with high mountains and secret cabins?
or On the road with motels and night in the stars?
This poem is about your skin and my skin touching,
and everything it makes me feel and think.
I am giving you my all,
and I can tell you are giving too.
Be happy with what you have,
Savor me in the day,
and make me in the night,
Hold me tight till the sunset,
and feel the want at sunrise.
We have this element,
lets put it to use,
and never come out of our bunny rabbit hole.
I have been cursed with my blindness.

All Ages Welcome.
Claire Ellen Mar 2014
What if hell is really empty
all of the devils are here.
When the first one died,
I didnt understand.
When the second one died,
I drew a heart, surrounded in black,
I drew my heart surrounded by confusion.
Harrison Brown.
When the third one died,
I was completely silent for a week,
No sensation entered my nerves.
Grandma Gower.
When the fourth one died,
I missed the funeral,
I made a shirt in memory
and felt cheap as ever.
Tanner Arnett.
When the fifth one passed,
I was broken and couldnt understand
I wrote and carved and drew...
but it amounted to nothing.
Antonio Franco.
Ah, I lost count by now,
But when she passed
I questioned all I had,
I questioned all I knew.

All Boiled Down.
Claire Ellen Mar 2014
On three peices of paper,
I wrote with a heavy heart
three things I would rather not loose.
One. You.
Two. My heart.
Three. My Desire.
    Count, one.
You. If I lost you weather it be
You left,
You died,
You disappeared on me.
My heart would be lost too.
My heart goes with you.
My heart would forever leave from my body,
My poor wretched heart would never heal.
Oh dear,
My desire!
My desire would follow my heart,
drop out of this world.
My desire would burn out like a winter fire.
My desire would forever fade until it was finally gone.

The Problem with America.
Claire Ellen Mar 2014
Any other guy,
would not put up with me.
Any other guy,
would not have protected me
        from themselves.
Any other guy,
would have took me and thrown me away.
Any other guy baby.... any other...
but you are not any other
you play guitar,
You are very way to tough
you have the confidence of a
well known MMA fighter.
how come we ever fight?
how come we ever think of breaking up?
how could we?
this relationship is you and me,
and everyone and their opions can just...
leave!

Scream and Drive.
Claire Ellen Feb 2014
Drive angry?
I will.
I finally understand screamo music,
I have all of these emotion draining out of me,
and I have issues that nobody understands.
"he's a ******?"
You never complained as much as me?
You need a ****** reality check sister.
Your now husband, you were going to leave him
but then he popped the question.
You can blame my issues on anything yiu want.
Some blame it on the church,
some blame it on my work,
some blame it on my sister,
my parents or my boyfriend.
Or people could just realize I got myself
here in this drepressing pit.
So keep blamin what you want
Someday you'll be here,
in my shoes.
And you'll realize what its like
having no one to blame but yourself.

Up high in this tower,
I cant see anything from this window!
and all these panes are blocking my view.
not seeing clearly,
and like an elephant suspended
by birds, I feel heavy as ever.
I like the sounds in music,
and you like the beats.
*******. Love? Thats a word
over used and misunderstood.
I'm starting over.
No really, all the way back to
Genesis. And I'm ending over again.
Revelation. A Revealing of,
Spirit. Heart. Mind. and Body.
Dont stop me!
I'm no bird tied down by string.
I'm as free and dusty and an empty cage.
The belt of Orion,
is on my waist now.
Dream what you will, I for once,
am at peace with... "Situations".

Here in the basement of my own
sorrows and pities,

struggling and worthlessly waiting,
for your approval.

I am wasting my time
in the most splendid ways,
I am putting my shirts on backwards,
I am putting my pants on inside out.
I am leaving your house
with half of what I came with.
I dont mind wasting my ways with you.
The smiles of melting,
the loves of a thousand affairs,
and the hands of a girl and a boy,
can get you very far.
My eyes cant get any bigger,
but they want to observe more,
my mind cant think any larger,
but it wants to imagine more.
Open my eyes, Crack my mind,
one inch up my body at a time.
Flowers growing up from my bed
laying me down in sweet sweet petals,
knowing soon you will come.
Come away with me to a beach,
shoes here, vows there, love everywhere.
Dont escape from this ring and me,
I will support you where ever life may be.
Here we go into this brave new world,
and the only thing I regret,
is the 17 years I spent with out you.

Bows and Butterflies.
Claire Ellen Jan 2014
where does the snow go in the summer?
does it melt into the grass and stay till next winter?
does it evaporate and go into our minds till next winter?
does it stay chilled deep in our bones till next winter?
where do the birds go in the spring?
do they fly away for another day?
do the go to let other people see their beauty?
do the leave for our imaginations to wander and wander?
where do the old leaves go in the summer?
do they disintegrate into the sidewalk for us to have a lighter step?
do they disguise themselves so we wont see till next year?
do they forget about us, like we do about them?

Tuesday Night.
Claire Ellen Jan 2014
Noises in the night time,
banging and booming,
Coyotes howling to the moon.
Cows mooing in their pins,
Foxes fight in the street like ladies screaming.
And us.
A new noise in the night time.
But certainly a liked sound by me,
and certainly a sound only two have ever heard:
you and me.
the skin, the bones,
and sometimes the shower
I wonder if I will ever get tired of your skin
on mine?
Of your shoulders tattooed and never going back?
Of your whispers in my ear?
And then I think,
Sick of that?
Never.
These star reflections of carved glass cups,
encasing our love.
Only two people have heard,
the noises in the night time.

Do I make me happy?
Yes.
Do I think I am somewhat pretty?
Yes.
Is that egotistical of me?
No.
Why does it all matter.
Everyone is different.
How much more diverse would we be,
If all the girls took off their makeup?
How much more silly would we be,
If all the guys stopped hiding behind their muscle?
If you don't like me now,
You wont like me then.
Cant you wake up and see???
Your making foes in your imagination,
that never existed.
Wake up and see, that just because you dont like it,
doesnt mean its wrong.
And just because I like it,
doesnt mean its trivial.
I read your books,
I say yes and no when it is appropriate.
But if you had really known me before,
You would know,
I cant be tamed,
I cant be reigned.
And yes I will change for you,
But you have to accept me,
with my flaws and my foes,
you have to love me,
when I'm clumsy and I fall.
I love you
weather your wrong or right,
weather you dance all night,
or stand by the wall.
You make me happy and you keep my mind working.
Keep your head sane, and your eyes up.
Keep your mouth talking, and your ears hearing.
Marry me, whisk me away, and never ever say,
It wasnt meant to be.

that I make you mad
by going to concerts.
I'm so sorry
that you don't like my over carring-ness.
I'm so sorry
I love you with all my heart.
I'm so sorry,
I dont wear make-up
I'm so sorry
I am different than you,
I wasn't raised like you,
I wasn't taught like you,
I'm not quick like you,
But if I was you,
I would love me,
Just how I was.
And I would,
Keep my dreams big,
and my worries small.
And sometimes I would even make
important things seem important, and fun.
I wouldn't ruin my good days,
and I would hold you when you cried,
instead of telling you to stop.

words come out
spill on this paper
bleed onto my hands
work on your body,
work in the shop
drop
       drop
              drop
that gotdame weight,
sorry i don't use Gods name
in vein,
in my viens, you'll see my blue blood side.
Come deeper into my lungs,
you'll see my deep breathing sacs.
Dont go deeper, you'll see my brain
my thoughts
                      my words
                                        my-my-my-
mine. Those words are mine,
and they will stay that way
until I decide when is best to tell you.
Tell you, feel you, I wont use you.
Don't fear the love given upon you.
Music repeating
to keep the beating,
MIA. What? you've never seen me in action?
or is it missing in action?
Do those mean the same thing?
What about Heaven and Hell,
Do those mean the same thing?
One can't exist without the other, so
I guess so.
I stand on my on guesses,
you can persuade me easily,
if you have hard evidence that means something.
Don't waste my time,
I'm on a schedule.
Interrupt and you'll be sorry.
But I invited you, remember?
I said to come swim in my veins,
that doesn't mean I'll let you out though.
Be careful, once your in there,
It's hard to come unattached to some
one big eyed, big sass, big assed
as me.
Opps, dont like my language?
To bad for you, I'm not sorry,
You must have just been overprotected
and under responded too.
Honey, I do what I want with your permission or not.
Don't do that, it makes me too hot.
Dance
          dance
                      dance
like the world is ending.
Jump on my shoulders lets go for a ride.
AK-47, you know what that means?
It means, I got one and you don't,
It means don't **** around.
Love me or don't.
Don't string me like some puppet.

and show the world the fake you are.
Be you,

I'll be like some model,
looking from a billboard
with a face that says,
"Am I pretty yet?"
Baby, yes you are,
you are wonderful and handsome to me.
You make me happy, you make me sad.
You fix me when I fall, and you never drop me.
You are already right for me,
you don't have to change.
Well, maybe a couple things,
here and there.
And I change too,
just for you.
Because I fit perfectly with your body,
I want to fit perfectly to your style too.
But like I said,
Dont change me too much,
Or else I'll be someone new.
Someone who you didn't know
to begin with.
Dont change me to much,
or else, I'll fit so perfectly with you,
you wont feel me anymore.

All this dreaming is starting to
become reality, and flash flash flash,
before my eyes.
The cameras collecting dust on the shelf.
Stare at me through their lens capped eyes.
They peer and ask, "Our turn?"
These pictures on the wall were to inspire to decorate.
Its always in focus, but life,
is so cast we need an
unfocused, wide lens, with zoom.
These old film charts are negatives,
showing all the positives of my old,
seen, unexplored world.
Come to me vinons of insight,
enlighten me master of seeking.
These simple views of life,
always complicate things till you settle in.

Lumineers.
Claire Ellen Nov 2013
What tastes salty?
Obviously potato chips.
Obviously a Californa girls hips.
Your lips after your tears
What tastes sweet?
Obviously the candy shop
Obviously an affair with a cop.
Your kisses in the morning
What tastes refreshing?
Obviously a cup of water.
Obviously a spring from the Alps.
Your skin in the shower.
Move me like the music and the rhythm.
Mold me like the sculptor and the ceramics.
My mistakes I have always shown on the surface,
But yours you have hidden deep beneath the sea.
These little black submarines,
They show in the shallows.
From encased in the hands of the small bird
that sits on your brain stem all day;
a little hope comes of me.
Or at least I muse it would.
I dream of you the whole night through,
and when winter comes I still dream of you.
And when age comes I still dream of you.
And when death comes to you, I still dream of you.
And in death I will come to meet the true you.
Don't take that the wrong way,
no one is behind me to back me up on this,
but you always say I don't know you,
believe me I really try too.
If you ever flew,
I would go with you
and the little birds would carry me through.

Ziggy Stardust.
Claire Ellen Nov 2013
Can my tears
clear your eyes,
like
Rapunzle?
Will your found
shoe fit my
tiny
feet?
What about the
dwarves carried in
my
past?
Is there room
for them in
your
castle?
Baby just look,
see that really
your not as
bad as
me.
I'm no princess,
Not since I
was a  very
little girl. Running
in
Dresses.
Flashing, bright colors
little did I
know.
My prince would
later come, to
help
me.

Holy Grail.
Claire Ellen Nov 2013
Oh wild rose tainted
Someone shining a flashlight on you
searching for your flaws and losses,
and your doing a good job of hiding them.
But your not blooming to your fullest,
staying as a bud wont get you no where.
So the flashlight moves on.
And because you didn't open the spot light goes on.
Your name has its own hidden exclamation point,
and your additude is full of sass and class.
Baby don't let the lies of this world
tear and destruct you.
Let the emptiness of this world
fill you, and show you things
that cant be with out your imagination.
Baby, don't get down by the peoples expectations,
because if you do, your own expectations will go out the window.
Be free little rose,
but don't become lost on your road in freedom.
However, my arms and heart are always open for you.

Ribbed.
Claire Ellen Nov 2013
If our love was a sticky note,
it would be sky blue.
It would have a lot of notes, and stories on it.
It would still have room for more.
It would be still sticky,
and it would be stuck where I could always see it.
It would follow me around like a bad penny.
If our love was a pen,
it would have forever lasting ink.
It would have written this poem.
It would be dark black, and wet
with dripping love.
If our love was a text...
Well, you hate texting so never mind.
If our love was a sticky note though,
It wouldn't burn in the fire,
but it would be able to start one.
Our love, doesn't fade,
and my love for you grows
day by day.
However, our love is not a sticky note,
or a pen,
or a text.
It is much more than that.
It is expressive, and not dismissive.
It is colorful,
and has many stories involved in it.
It is going to have more stories.
It is on my phone, it is in my bed, I can see it everywhere.
It follows me around like a bad penny.
It is everlasting,
and it is as tangible as the perfect poem.
Our love can get dripping wet sometimes,
and it is usually overflowing.
It doesn't give up in the fire of a fight,
But it starts the desire of one.
I don't know how else to say it,
but we will fight the odds, and make the playoffs,
we will go through hard and nice strolls in the park.
Life and love are officially intertwined in
our two bodies.

Dance Anthem of the Night.
Claire Ellen Nov 2013
Uh-Oh... I think it's happening.
These words of deep waters,
they are waving out of my being,
wetting this paper down.
I think it's happening.
These words of shallow air,
they are breezing out of my mind,
cooling this paper down.
I think, IT'S happening.
These ghosts without bed sheets,
they become real and real and real,
goose-bumping my flesh.
What? What is happening?
We fit perfectly together,
Thats whats happening.
These words of cliche phrases,
they are stereotyping my love,
packing it into penmanship on this paper.
I don't care if our love is cliche,
its real.
I don't care if our love is judged,
it holds true.
We can make it through,
If you trust in me, and I in you.
You can't catch me,
But you can dip me,
while we dance this race away.
Waste away time with me,
And something tells me,
we are on to something good.

Yesterday, I Found You.
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
How come my words never seem vast enough,
to simply tell how my life can uff and puff,
things in life, they are so simple,
and yet I still seem to just pedel,
on by and never look back. But then when I do,
I always regret this feeling of horrible left over dew.

Origami Crane.
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
Which way do you fold me?
Sometimes, the love is strong,
and it holds me up,
and gets me in and gets me out.
Sometimes, the love is present,
it runs through the room,
it flows through the days.
Sometimes, the love is gone,
it leaves empty rooms
it comes in unfinished sentences.
Why does it have to be like that?
Why can't things be normal?
Not pretending, not faking.
But maybe some changing,
it would be good.
This cursive is writing on the wall,
This fluent is in languages I can't understand.
Sometimes it seems
you need a walk in closet.
To hang your skeletons in.
But once you hang them,
Leave them. Leave them for me,
Leave them for you,
I dont care how you do it,
Just leave the closet closed forever.
Baby Once in a Blue,
You make me sad.
Yet that sad sometimes spells,
Sad is a long word,
And it means things, some of us
Don't know how to explain.
So, lets try one more time,
Another round, for the couple of the year.
Dithers, and high high Hithers,
they may come and go,
For all I know, I'll be where you are.
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
I finally find myself,
at the lowest of lows.
No litterally...
In the basement,
Sitting in the bottom of the shower.
I keep thinking about colors,
fall colors, hair colors,
I keep asking myself,
why did I change myself.
I was perfect the way I was,
and now its going to take,
a long while to get back
to how I was.
My nose ring feels fake,
My newly died hair feels fake,
and my insides are starting to turn to plastic.
Take it all back!
Take back the die, the pierce,
But that is just one thing about
Lady Time.
She cant be taken back.
She can only move forward,
even if it means,
depression.

Darkness, Your Alley. #2
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
I have stopped looking for you,
because I know I wont hear you come in,
but I know I'll hear you when you sleep.
And I guess you can say, I am tired.
But I'll never be to tired to love you.
The fear in me, can always be relieved,
and in my heart you'll always be recieved.
I guess you can't be too far away,
when I'm thinking about you all night and day.
I wish you'd stop moving from place to place,
So that maybe you could see my face,
and how sad it is when you go,
even for just a week or so.
I can't stop thinking about work tomorrow,
and now I will try to fill it with anything but sorrow.
But oh, the places you'll go,
and the stories you'll tell.
I always love you no matter the distance,
I'll keep myself destracted,
my hear won't be too fractured.
You have inspired me to adventure, myself,
I will have my fill of own desire,
and when you get back,
I'll be the teller.
Tell me which one you like better!! 1 or 2. Or maybe neither. Then don't tell me.

Darkness, Your Ally.
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
I have stopped looking for you,
because I won't hear you come in,
but I will hear you when you sleep.
Long distances don't mean a thing.
I have been torn from your side,
and replaced with a drive,
for adventure, and life to the full.
Truth is I'm jealous.
Your life is free and flowing,
you come and go when you please.
An application, a job always calling your name,
some state, some town.
Yet, I know someday,
You will thieve me,
"Away" can be our destination,
and night can cover our tracks.

Ex-Lover.
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
I'm sorry,
but I heard you were talking about me,
at some party?
I thought when you left me,
for another girl,
you said you were basically
gone for good. Oh, ex-honey,
Don't ever talk about me.
Especially,
If your not courageous enough to tell,
How you left me, so heartlessly.
If they knew, what you did,
You wouldn't have anyone to tell about me.

Road Runner. (Coyote Boy)
Claire Ellen Oct 2013
I hope this ol' train breaks down,
So i can see,
The inside of your mind sweetie,
its opening up, one crack at a time.
One family member closer,
One 4 month closer.
Your mind, will forever be a maze,
and I will forever explore,
each word you spoke,
to much love for one world.
Our loves bleeds onto others.
These conners of your heart,
is just enough room for my findings.
Hold me closer, pin me down.
And never forever longer frown.
You have me, and you have my hands.
Hold them, rub them, ring them left
because you will have been a theft,
of my ever curious mind.
Mrs. CC, Baby Claire, and Lovebug,
the names I never thought I'd hear,
from those nights in a red corvett
To the days we spent
sperate hearts
much to far apart
can make one love,
with many unworthy words,
and to much unwasted time,
and many memories:
Baby i could spend a life time
folding away these late night memories
into my deep rolling brain waves.
My dreams are lucky to be holding you tonight.

I dont know if its just these pillows,
but my body doesnt want to get up.
But sweetie when you leave me,
and my side feels vacant,
I dont want too, becomes a common phrase.
I am not sure if thats good or bad.
That I want to always be with you.
I'm in love, what can I say?
and being in love means never going away.
Honey, I dont mean to tie you down,
But next time you leave,
whisp me away with you?
I want to adventure too.
I dont like sitting at home, and waiting for you to come back.
Take me next time, or else dont go.
We've spent to much time apart,
and though I want you to go and explore,
never truly depart from me.

Claire Ellen Oct 2013
Uh-oh... A change.
More than painting a wall
Or hanging new pictures in a hall.
More than new curtains,
Or moving to new lands.
This change is the scariest of all,
And it starts with a huge fall
And it comes from within.
It starts in the mind,
And then it intertwines and confines,
Down to where everything should start,
The Heart.
This change has to do with love,
And it normally doesn't "fit like a glove".
Its a change of lifestyle and words,
It keeps no records.
This change is all inclusive,
It changes the use of,
Your actions.
I'm nervous for the outcome,
I'm into deep to outrun,
Gods love.

Small Emergency Stop button
on my treadmill every mornin,
you grow and grow
as I run and run.
The two escapes I have,
running, writing.
Emergency Buttons are only helpful
on treadmills.
even if life had an emergency stop
would you really use it?
Would you or I really give up fall days?
what about summer rays?
what about the animals of the sea,
and what about the special he or she?
Honey, I would never Stop
this life I got,
I'm finally getting it figured out.
Not saying I don't get stressed out.
I do fuss and cry about,
silly things that in the end,
where literally not worth my time.
Emergency stop, where is your
pull now? Where is my want towards you now?
Emergency Go, where are you?
This treadmill is working, but I'm not going
anywhere, I'm hardly even showing,
signs of improving.
Improving this love,
to grow, while in the wild.
I wanted to say I love you, but couldn't,
so it just hurt more.
and now, I am solving my problems
looking at a Emergency stop button.
Treadmill you wont defeat my problems,
but you do defeat my stressors.
I have you back now, and so I don't care
where we end up. As long as its far from,
Emergency Stop.

Drink you in my tea tomorrow
I dont mind waiting for you.
Even with my boots full of snow,
Baby, I'm yours lets go!
Take my hand,
and just listen to the band,
the sea and the sand.
This ring on my finger,
it never wieghed me down.
I have heard your voice on a payphone,
I have heard your voice in distress.
I have heard your voice
through my tears, and your tears.
I have heard your voice in love.
But never have I heard your voice in Hate.

Yoga.
Claire Ellen Sep 2013
Everyday I come home with weary feet,
and I always think,
It must be that fateful brick,
I carry it with me,
day and night. This brick however,
is apart from others.
It has been pounded and formed
to my jobs, my faliures,
my small stresses that form to a giant knot.
feet dont fail me now,
I believe we still have a long ways together.
The days go by slow, and the time builds up.
The dark circles in my eyes, eco my life.
Streatching out the knots, holding the positions
does nothing. But help.
Thank God for stress, or else we would never have
the feeling
of relief.
