Desert Rose Sep 2015
She spends all day
Up in her room
Dreaming of a better place
A castle guarded by a dragon
Where her Prince Charming
Whisks her away
To a new land

She types her feelings away
Writes them down
For the world to see
Nobody knowing who she is

She doesn't know
Who she is or
Who to be
Kept getting
Caged in by society

She is ordinary
A lonely girl
With dreams of
Finding somewhere new

But what she doesn't know
Someone out there is waiting for her
To let her know how
Extraordinary she is
Desert Rose Sep 2015
As the darkness rolls in
Each second, minute, hour
Drags painfully on

As the darkness
Clouds my eyes
Reality fades
Happiness slowly
Crumbles inside of me

As my heart darkens
I lose faith
Unsure of light
Stuck in my own mind
With no escape

As darkness envelopes me
I can finally see
This is who I am
This is me
Desert Rose Sep 2015
You used to be home to me
With you I was safe and sound
Sheltered from the world
Just you and me
Against the world
But now the
Walls are weakening

Breaking up
Trying to piece us
Back together
Make us okay again

Picking up my
Heart so broken
I don't know how
It was ever open

You opened me up
Just to break me down
How can I trust
Anyone ever again

This house
Once so colorful
Has now faded into gray
The walls so fragile
Have broken down

Where do we go from here?
Desert Rose Sep 2015
Most peoples heart
Break
Maybe even they
Shatter
But mine has
Crumbled

My heart has
Fought a
Losing battle for too long
Has no will to go on
For reasons I will never understand
I am still here

Does the one
Who broke me
Really think they can
Piece my heart back to
Its shattered form
Desert Rose Jun 2015
Little pieces of my heart
Scattered on the ground

Little fragments my soul
Etched into the clouds

Little ties of the past
Forge my reality

Part of me is bound
To the present

While my truth
Lies in the future
Desert Rose Jun 2015
You asked me if I loved you
I asked myself what it meant
This is what I came up with

The truth is
I never really knew what love was
Until I met you

All the little things
Small jokes to make me laugh
A hug to make me smile
Are intensified

The darkness in my brain
The shadows that cloud my memories
Are lifted when you talk to me

You know all the little things
My favorite color my favorite animal
Even know who Sam and Spencer are

You know my past
Are part of my present
Lead me into
A better future

You're the one
I don't want to share
Who I could spend hours
Sitting with just doing nothing

You've seen the real me
Haven't run away
You know who I am
Yet still decided to stay

This is what
Being in love
Really means to me
Desert Rose May 2015
Half of my heart is broken

Shattered into pieces

Thrown across the floor

Half of my heart is empty

Trying to find something

Concrete to hold onto

Half of my heart is confused

Trying to figure out the truth

Even with all the lies

Half of my heart

Is still in love with you
