Cracks In My Walls
Danielle Barlow Oct 2014
Painted dreams cover my walls,
and I think you're breaking through.
Cracks appear under your weight,
and I wait patiently for you on the other side.
Yay for breaking walls

Never Change
Danielle Barlow Nov 2014
Funny how when you expect a fall,
                   you  realize you never climbed out to begin with.
I didn't know I still felt the way I did about you,
                   I guess that's just something time can never change.
It's been a while since I posted, and this is barely anything. I'm sorry, I'm just busy.

When Does Time Begin?
Danielle Barlow May 2014
Where does time begin and end?
Then the memory will start to fade.
Does it on our lives depend?
Or can time even fully spend?

Does time begin where memories do?
Memories of games we've played.
Do we have it misconstrued?
Will time forever continue?
Seriously though. It's food for thought..

The Land of Magic
Danielle Barlow Jun 2014
I am lost in the land of Magic, I fear.
Blocked from Reality's bite.
So do me a favor and wake me, dear.
For the land of Magic is also the land of Fright.
I'm sorry I'm not pasting regularly anymore. Life is getting in the way..
Danielle Barlow Jul 2014
I still love you.
More than you could ever imagine.
Yup. Sure do..

Everything or Nothing?
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
What do you do when you don't know how to feel?
Is it because you feel everything at once or nothing at all?
What does it mean when to you everything seems surreal,
and the only thing you know how to do is cry in the bathroom stall..
I know it's really short and really low quality...

The wind
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
As I walk by my self I like to pretend
that what we have never will end.
I close my eyes as the wind brushes against my skin,
and I wish it were you yet again.

When this wind ceases to blow
is when I will stop dreaming of you so.
This wind it comforts me greatly,
but the thought of you still lingers faintly.

This wind is unpredictable, and at times it is jarring,
and yet it still consoles me when you and I are sparring.
At times this wind is as sweet as your kiss,
and never a day will this wind I not miss.
This is one of my favorites :) what do you guys think?

Old Love
Danielle Barlow Feb 2014
How am I supposed to know,
if away our love he'll throw.
What am I supposed to do,
for a love that's not so new?
Of course he says he loves me so,
but is it true or all for show?
243 · Aug 2014
Someone Please
Danielle Barlow Aug 2014
Please, I'm begging.
Someone at least try to break down my walls.
Someone please just love me until I can love back.
Someone please be there when I need you.
Because I need you, Someone.
Now more than ever.
So this is kind of random. I don't know where it came from..

Five Steps
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
Five steps behind me.
I run but can't get away.
Please, leave me alone.
About a nightmare I had..

Love and Hate
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
Love and hate work hand in hand,
and I don't think you understand
that you and I are fire and ice.
Either one are not so nice.
236 · May 2014
Tear You Apart
Danielle Barlow May 2014
I am the type to manipulate.
I can play you like a record, darling.
Even though there is tons of hate,
Before you know it you'll be falling.

You'll be falling fast and hard.
Right down to the broken heart.
Because I'll play you like a card,
And am not afraid to tear you apart.
In a firey mood today XD
Danielle Barlow Jul 2014
You've made a promise you didn't keep,
Leaving us both shattered and scarred.
I hope you know that I can't sleep
Knowing your feelings are charred.

While you're hurting yourself,
You're killing me.
Hey, you're worth it.

Through the Glass
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
As I stand here peering into the glass at your lovely face
I loose track of the time as it passes.
All I know is that it feels like absolutely forever,
since you last held me in your loving embrace.

Standing here with my nose pressed against the window,
as I pray you won't look over and notice me.
I hope you won't notice that I'm busy noticing you.
You catch my eye and all the voices in my head begin to crescendo.
I don't know how I feel about this one..

Words of Wisdom
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
If you stand for nothing
you'll fall for anything.

Be who you are.
Don't let the world mold you.

Do what you love,
Not what the world loves.

Fight for what you believe,
not what you're told to

Hate can't drive out hate.
Only love can do that.
So this was inspired by both an All Time Low song and Martin Luther King Jr.

Free
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
It's things like this that make me wonder
if our love is going under.
Maybe it just isn't meant to be,
or you've just stopped being into me.

Either way I will be happy.
I'm not letting my self feel ******.
I don't need you in order to be me,
honestly, without you I'd be more free.
I don't know if ****** is really a word XD either way it is now

Test
Danielle Barlow May 2014
Exhausted and depressed
Just waiting for an end
I cannot pass this test
I've no more time to spend
I've not posted in a long long time
213 · May 2014
You Again
Danielle Barlow May 2014
I feel the sunshine on my skin,
And I wish I were with you again.
Beneath a sky so clear and blue,
Yet the only thing I can think of is you.

But soon rolls in a storm of sadness,
And then I'm left here almost hopeless.
When I remember your past actions
My heart ends up in fractions.
Yup. Everyday
213 · Apr 2014
Help
Danielle Barlow Apr 2014
In the days before we met
I was in a place to fret.
You helped me out of that place,
away from problems I couldn't face.

You mean more than words can tell,
and my life before you was truly hell.
Before you came the world was so dark
with no safe place that I could mark.

If you had never come along
I would still be living my life all wrong.
You're what guides me when I am lost
and keep me back from lines I can't cross.
He really has helped me so much

Happiness (10w)
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
Happiness comes and goes,
                      but today it will stay.
In a really good mood today for some reason or another. Let's try not to ruin that!

This Fear
Danielle Barlow Jun 2014
That fear isn't one to just go away,
Especially after just three days..
You have helped me through so much,
Even though it was caused by your touch.
Some things just aren't meant to be.
Anything but you and me.
Hah. My own stupidity causes a TON of problems.

Drowning
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
I'm drowning in a sea of my own despair.
Sinking further and further from bitter air.
As the cold begins to settle into my skin,
I remember what once has been.

I feel your hand as it grasps at my leg,
but you don't even hear me beg.
You pull me even deeper down,
but whisper "Darling, I'd never let you drown."
I think I could make this one better with a little help
196 · Aug 2014
Why?
Danielle Barlow Aug 2014
Why can't I just be pretty?
I just want to turn heads.
I want to feel beautiful,
but I'm hanging on by threads.

I want people to look and think
"I've never seen one like that".
I just want to feel secure,
but that's falling flat.
Ugh. Why do all you girls have to be so pretty. You're all gorgeous and I'm just here looking like a potato
188 · May 2014
Your Own Good
Danielle Barlow May 2014
All I do is bring you down,
But without you I'm going to drown.
I want to be together but you do not,
So I'll let someone else fill my spot.

I need you like I need air,
But I only cause you to despair.
So I'll leave for your own good.
I never knew just where you stood.
I don't even know anymore

Through With Love (10w)
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
I'm through with love,
                        it's too gentle for me.
Too gentle meaning I dislike the sticky sweetness of it all. I don't want that.
187 · Mar 2014
You
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
You
I think it's time for me to be honest, dear.
There is a lot about you I still fear.
You don't say how you feel so neither will I,
but there is something there I can not deny.

Stop sending me messages so mixed.
Please, please make your emotions fixed.
I don't yet know how I feel about you,
but I do know that these feelings are anything but new.

Do you feel anything for me at all?
You make me feel so very small,
but at the same time like I can take on the world.
I think it's time these thoughts and feelings were unfurled.
I think this is fairly self explanatory
184 · Jul 2014
Thanks.
Danielle Barlow Jul 2014
Just when I thought everything was okay
You came and washed that thought away.
173 · Apr 2014
Just Be Me
Danielle Barlow Apr 2014
I can't help but wonder why
that you loved to make me cry.
I guess you never loved it at all
and only wanted to see me fall.

I don't have to put up with you now,
and all I can really think is "wow".
I put up with you for way too long,
and now it's time for me to sing my own song.

I am happier now than I ever was before.
You may have won the battles; but I won the war.
Now I can dance, sing, and just be me,
and I don't have to care who can see.
It is so nice to not care anymore XD

— The End —
