It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived

You used to look at me like that
he whispered, as he stared at her
beaming at her new love
I never looked at you like this
She thought, as she saw him longing for her
Wanting to be embraced by her love again
My ex said I used to look at him the way I look at my boyfriend. But I never used to look at him that way because I've never felt what I feel now.

Play with my hair
as I fall asleep in your lap
to the sound of your voice
telling me how great our future will be
Really want this right now

You are beautiful, He says
And the truth lingers in his eyes
You are wonderful, He says
And this man tells no lies
You are amazing, He says
And it's enough to make you cry
You are my world, He says
And I will always love you
Until the day I die
Just some things my boyfriend has said and the way they make me feel

Isn't it funny, how just hearing
his name makes you smile?
You feel like the blood pumping
from your heart could flow a while.
You are clear-headed
once given his advice,
He holds the power to transform
This daily purgatory to paradise.
He will make the world stop turning
on the first beat of your command,
He is the final piece to the puzzle
you before couldnt understand.
He completes the picture
You envisioned for your life
Beautiful despite the ongoing
Suffering, stress, and strife.
He has an extraordinary gift
One so special and rare,
The magic ability to capture
Your entire heart with just a stare.
He knows he could hurt you but wouldn't,
By doing you wrong or pushing you away,
It's obvious how captivated you are
By the spell he casts on you every day.
The bond between your two hearts
Is so strong it will never sever,
He is the one you love, and will continue to,
Long after forever and ever.
This was an old free verse poem I turned into a rhyme. I didn't like how it sounded before but now it's pretty legit.

Begging you, let go
Don't write, don't text, don't call me
I've moved on, happy
I'm sorry you're still in love and I'm sorry that you're hurting. But I have to do what's good for me and I'm the happiest I've ever been in my entire life and I'm not letting go of that feeling, ever.

Hello, Poetry.

I hope today finds you well
and the light of the world has shone on you.
I hope today you save a new soul,
or some new soul saves you.

I hope today you see the world
as beautiful as it sees you.
I hope today someone is moved
enough to embrace you
and your love.

I hope today brings you no sorrow.
I hope today only brings you joy
and smiles.
I hope today you are not taken
for granted.

I hope today
you are shown you are loved.
I hope today you realize that
you are beautiful
and kind.

I hope today you realize why
that special someone has you on their mind.
I hope today you see yourself
as the world sees you.
I hope today you remember your name,
Poetry,
and you wear it proud
with your
head
held
high.
