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.
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
Who should I believe in this world full of liars?
My need for someone to trust completely now is dire.
You may say one thing, yet he means another.
Which one is true? Or are you two plotting together?

Do you two together have a master plan laid?
All I need now is for one or the other to come to my aid.
Neither of you know that inside I'm nearly dead,
or that the two of you are the source of all my dread.
I may add more to this one later
Danielle Barlow Oct 2014
Tables turning a full one-eighty
Holding your hand and thinking "maybe".
Things could be the way they seem,
but what on earth could it mean?
Wow things are weird
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
How do you know when to turn the page
or to just give up and close the book?
When does it all become just pointless rage?
Or other feelings that can't be overtook?
So yeah.. I know that isn't good but oh well
Danielle Barlow Apr 2014
Who is wiser
the heart or mind?

What speaks louder
emotion or thought?
Different from what I normally do.. but ***** it

I left a piece of myself with you,
and you treasured it like no one else ever has.
I don't know why this is so short. I guess I said everything I needed to.
Danielle Barlow Jun 2015
You killed a piece of me.
Every time I gave into one of your demands
I felt my heart break a little more.
You distorted my idea of love every time you said I was the one.
Kind words always came after the cruel ones.
"I only act this way because I know what you want better than you do."
Then you should have gone through with your threats
If only I wasn't too scared to fight back.
He can kiss my ***. Actually, he doesn't deserve that luxury. If someone could suggest a title that would be lovely.
Danielle Barlow Feb 2016
"Will you marry me?"*
Why no, I'm afraid I can't.
I just need some time.
Danielle Barlow Feb 2015
I've lost my mind, I'm afraid.
And the longer I search, the madder I get.
Danielle Barlow May 2015
There's a small place in my heart, and it has yet to be filled.
The place in the midst of where I hide my words, and my worth.
Not a soul has earned this place, and no soul ever will.
I'm sorry about the lack of posting going on. :/ I will be posting more though

Like the first ray of sunshine after a week full of rain
he is a beacon of hope for all of the world.
As we are just caving in to the storm
he is able to bring back the light.

Like a lighthouse protects the ships from the shore
he protects me from the troubles of the world.
As I am beaten down by the waves of life
he lifts me up just like the tide.
I'm not sure that I care much for this one. It's been a while since I posted, though. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could make this better please let me know.
Danielle Barlow Jul 2014
I'm not interested by ***.
Frankly I find it disgusting.
I do not wish to be defiled,
No matter how you are lusting.
Ugh. Sorry this poem is awkward. Even talking about *** makes me feel awkward.
Danielle Barlow Feb 2015
Wasted days,
       squandered nights,
             waiting for the end in sight.
Danielle Barlow Jan 2015
What the hell
                have I managed to do this time?
Someone came to me and said we needed to talk..
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..
Danielle Barlow Oct 2014
A pillar of black and white granite is all that is holding us up anymore.
We stand atop it and watch as the cracks form in the earth under us.
Everything we stand for is about to crumble all over again. Again,
and we are by no means ready to stand on our own in this world.
We depend on each other like the earth depends on rain and sun.
Without the other each of us would spiral down to hell's doors
and be hopelessly wondering and searching for love forever.
The world is ending once again, and all that's left is you.
When my world ends will your God go down with it?
I need help making this better.. suggestions?
Danielle Barlow Feb 2015
Dancing through a field of white flowers.
Doing nothing more than whiling away the hours.
I sit in the grass as I wait for your return,
but suddenly, the field started to burn.
White flowers begin to catch light,
and the birds of the world being to take flight.
That's when I realize that you are not coming,
and suddenly, I find myself running.
I run in the direction I think I'll find you,
but am left wondering if your love is true.
I can't understand why you left me here
but I understand that I love you, my dear
I actually really like this poem a whole lot.
Danielle Barlow Feb 2015
I am the least talented.
I am no one's first choice.
I am the girl who never speaks.
I am the one who feels the sadness in the silence.
I am the child who craves her mother's attention.
I am the one who just wants to feel like she is loved.
I am the one who is always lonely.
I guess this is who I am..
I'm not even my best friend's best friend
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
Danielle Barlow Jan 2015
Autumn is coming to a close,
and winter is drawing near.
Life is as fragile as a rose,
and mine is withering, I fear.
I just don't even know anymore. The pain is bad, but this feeling of hopelessness is worse.
Danielle Barlow Jan 2015
Someone please.
I just need someone to care
without condition..
This is just me being pathetic but I feel as if I am completely alone in this world.. There are people who claim to care but it feels so empty. I don't know why it's this way, it just is... I probably shouldn't even post this but I honestly don't give a **** anymore.
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.
Danielle Barlow Sep 2014
Why are you so good at
                   making me feel worthless?
I feel like ****
Danielle Barlow Apr 2014
I wish everyday could be like yesterday,
but I know it is bound to fade away.
Being with you there was a great pleasure,
because your company is something I treasure.

As we walked down the creek it was sheer bliss
and that smile is one that I will sorely miss.
I will remember yesterday forever.
It will never be forgotten whatsoever.
Yesterday was so amazing. I'd gladly trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

Yo soy Danielle.
Soy artística y estudiosa.
Quiero ser atrevida y muy talentosa.
Según mi familia soy reservada y seria a veces.
No me gusta nada practicar deportes.
Me gusta mucha actuación.
¿Cómo eres?
So I'm learning Spanish. If any of you guys know could you correct me if I'm wrong? This was kinda difficult. XD
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
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
Danielle Barlow Mar 2014
You bring light and warmth into this world,
and without you life would cease to exist.
Without you in darkness we would be perpetually swirled.
To me your warmth is impossible to resist.

Though your light is bound to fade,
you have done more good than ever told.
I will never hesitate to come to your aid,
if you ever again need a hand to hold.
I may go back and add some more on to this one later.. but what do you guys think?
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

— The End —
