Who am I?
Someone tell me because I don't know, all I know is that I'm scared of myself and hurting. I don't like the way I'm turning. I hate myself and can feel the burning. I'm not infuriated I'm just sad. I'm a sad shell of a person who lost themself in someone else; something else. What did I ever really want? When did I change and why? Who am I? Someone tell me because I don't recognize who's looking back at me in the mirror. What I see is a whirlpool full of my deepest fears.

it's all over
you told me the truth,
you said the words
that i think i always knew.
it's all over with you.
you never wanted me,
you wanted her.
it's all over.
Every day I feel as if I am on the verge of tears
All of a sudden I start crying without a reason
My mascara always smears
I am supposed to be jolly, you know 'tis the season
But my heart cannot handle it anymore
I believe that I have become one of the heartbroken
Because he used to be the one who said "I love you more"
As you know, I am no longer taken
But all my tears are not because of him, I hope

I know you love me...
But what if...
What if I break you?
What if this broken girl
Breaks you?
I haven't healed yet...
I lust,
But I'm not ready to love
Or commit
To anyone...
Our souls met three years ago and united as one
I never thought you could loose a soulmate
It's been two years since you left and I still love you
I know that if I saw you I would cry
Is it crazy how I still love you?
Is it crazy to say that you're my missing piece
Since you left, I've felt empty on the inside
There no cure, my remedy is you
I'm sorry I cursed at you and say all those horrible things
If I could take it back I would
I used to believe the things I said, but they were never meant to be said
As I write in the verge of tears, I just want to say "I love you"
You were my poison and I was your cure
You were rotten and I was pure
It was my flower
I didn't know I was the girl of the hour
How could you do this?
It all started with a kiss
The kiss of sweet unholy death
I was pure, until you took my breath
It was like being caught in a downward spiral
My feelings were never vital
I didn't know that either
He said "me neither"

I cried when you left,
Not because I liked you,
because I loved you,

I could of been with you,
but I had other plans,

My life became my own,
no one else was going to change that,
so I lost the ones I loved,

Because I had to take a different path,
a path no one I loved wanted to travel.

Some people say my sad brain deceives me, I wonder if it's true?

I'm a nomad
I travel
from one thought
to another

I don't stay there for long
Each thought passes me
along to the other
and so on 

A trace
of a thin line
is always left behind
as I'm being passed over
And a spider web
of entangled lines
starts to form
amongst all those thoughts

Then I end up strangled 

Feelings start turning
into thoughts
and thoughts turn
into words
and words become
louder
and stronger


Suddenly
awareness arises



Doors
deep down the dungeons
of my head are
beginning to unlock themselves

I'm not fighting it
Not anymore

Acceptance
starts flowing within
Whilst the web
untangles
its innermost thoughts
Sincerely, Em

I feel like ...

All the poetry in the world has been shattered
All the poets have gone mute
All the stanzas have been dismantled
All the rhyming words are in dispute

I’m an alphabet of one letter
Choking on faded words
I’m suffocating on alliterations
Black bruises and broken back bones

It’s almost like my pulse is dropping syllables
17 … 7 … 5 … 3 …
Empty pages of lost haikus
As flat lines race death to flee

This broken heart weeps of hurt -
Of false promises, of wounded memories
My broken heart weeps of hurt
As my mourning tears fall into elegies
Sincerely, Em
