To tell the truth
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I really like him
More than just a crush
What do I say?
What do I do?
Should I go up and
Tell him the truth?

What if he doesn't like me
Maybe he'll hate
For having these feelings

Without the fear
It's easy to think
What if he likes me too
Apr 2014 · 320
When he...
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I get all nervous
When he looks at me
I wonder of he likes me
When he walks by
My heart just flutters
When he smiles at me
I feel real it's
Almost like I'm happy
Maybe it's just me
But maybe he
Thinks of me too

Devil
Desert Rose Apr 2014
The devil invited me
Into his world last night
Invited me to see the
Other side of life

The ghosts came out
Haunting young
Frightened souls

He took me to the graveyard
Where the dead party
While the rest of the world
Mourns their loss

Cracked up to be
Death won't
Ever call to me

As time passes us by
Desert Rose Apr 2014
As time flies by
We finally realize
All the mistakes we've made
Wrongs we've done
People we hurt

As time goes on
Memories fade
People slip away

As time goes on
We lose the people
we love the most

As time passes us by
We realize the
Mistakes we've made
And there's no way
To go back and fix
Everything we did wrong

With me
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Crawl with me
Stand with me
Walk with me

Sing with me
Dance with me
Play with me

Eat with me
Drink with me

Like me
Care for
But above all
Please love me

While my world is
Falling apart

Happy
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I just wanna feel
Happy for once
Instead of this sadness
That consumes me
Why is it so hard
To find somebody
Who accepts me
Who makes me happy

Class
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Waiting for class to start
Is way too boring
Sitting in a silent room
Full of anxious teenagers
Yeah sounds like fun
Too bad for me
I don't have the option
To get up and run

Never again
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I loved you once
Then again
Loved you too many times
To love you ever again

No one
Desert Rose Apr 2014
No one else but you
Can make me feel this way
If I had you
Everything would be okay

No one else
Can make me feel
Like I'm worth it

No one else but you
Can make me happy

Without him
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Dearest Spencer
You were the one thing
That made me feel
With you I was
Happy,
I was somebody
Now I'm nothing

Nothing is the same
Without you here
I need you now
To keep me here
On this planet
In this world
I need you now
Stay with me forever

America
Desert Rose Apr 2014
We're living the dream
No more slaves
Violence or poverty

Well educated
White picket fences
Dogs as pets
Instead of meals

So twisted
Our country
Is just a lie
Convincing people
We're better than
The rest of the world

Sleep
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Several
Lovely hours where
Everything feels good
Everyone feels happy
Peace is attained
Desert Rose Apr 2014
If time healed all wounds
There wouldn't be
Any more fights
Any. Ore wars

If time healed all wounds
There would be order
Safety and sanity
People would be okay
Living with starvation
And even poverty

If time healed all wounds
Wouldn't I bd better by now
Healed from pain
Free from scars

Stress
Desert Rose Apr 2014
A bunch of anxiety
Curled up in the body
Making you nervous
Freaking you out

Stress is a
Major part of
Our daily lives
Killing us
On the inside

Pain
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Maybe one day
You'll realize
All the pain you caused me
How hurt I am
How bad I hurt myself
All because of
What you've done to me

Asleep
Desert Rose Apr 2014
If I could fall
Asleep and
Never wake up
To this pain again
I'd take that chance

If I could wake up
Outside of this hell
I would be oh so
Grateful
For the opportunity
Of a better life

I think I have a crush
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I think I like him
What do I know
It could be just a crush
Will these feelings grow?

Just a crush
At least so far
Is it more
Could this be love
Could it be
He is the one

Thinking of him
Puts butterflies in my stomach
Talking to him
Gets me all jittery

He's so sweet
And strong
And nice to me
I have a crush
Could it be

Vain
Desert Rose Apr 2014
You're so vain
You probably think
I wrote this poem about you
That I think of you
That I still care at all

The truth is
I miss you
I wish you meant
Nothing at all

Sleep
Desert Rose Apr 2014
So tired
exhausted
From a long day
Of pain and crying

Refuses to sleep

Cliche
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Once upon a time
In a land far far away
We heard that
Roses are red and
Violets are blue

I don't know about you
But I'm sick of hearing
That same old  story

We're born
We grow up
Get old
And die
The cycle repeats

How about if this story
Wasn't on permanent repeat

not another love poem
Desert Rose Apr 2014
My momma always told me
Never to believe in love

I learned for myself
That love isn't real

People just use you
Always want something from you'

It's hard to believe
I'll ever find someone
Who truly cares for me

Just the two of us
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Just the two us
Together forever
Basking in our love

We could do anything
Go anywhere we want
And still, we'd have fun

At the beach
At the park
In the woods
Or the pool

Anywhere we are
Is the place to be
Because there's
No one better
Than you and me

i wish we could be happy
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I love you
You love me
Simple as that
So why can't we
Just be happy
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Living in a large house
With a white picket fence
With my husband
And our two children
With a puppy
Running around our land
At least that's the dream

First we painted
Our fence yellow
We had two happy
Healthy kids

Then things
Turned blue
Between me and you
Then the fence turned too

When things got bad
When it was almost over
Things turned red

That fence that
Was originally white
Has faded to black
Everything that
Could be is now dead
white is the American Dream yellow is happy blue is sad red is anger and violence and black is the end

Blame
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Who's fault is it
When you fall in love

Is it your fault
For developing
Those horrid feelings

Is it his fault for being so
Sweet perfect and charming

Or is it the devil
Playing tricks with your mind
Making you believe
Happiness is in sight

Amazed
Desert Rose Apr 2014
I can hear your thoughts
They echo across the room
Calling for help for
Someone to love you

I can feel your pain
It breaks my heart
With Every step you take

I can see your dreams
Of the future
Happy that they include
Forever and "I do"
Based off Lonestar's song Amazed

Just a Crush
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Maybe I like him
Yeah it's true
I like this boy

I wish I had
The courage to
Go up and say
I like you boy
Do you like me too

Him and me
Aren't the perfect match
Not a good couple
That tears my heart in two

No matter how much
I want it to work out
He will always be
Too good for me

To the People
Desert Rose Apr 2014
Dear people

You walk all over me-
Like no I'm not a doormat
Just another human being

Dear people

Why apologize now
For the way you
Treated me back then
Obviously,
You're not that sorry

I hope you change
Hope you mature
Do better
Be better
Because
Sorry isn't good enough anymore

I'm so stupid
i mean honestly
I'm just an innocent little girl

there was a chance for me to be happy
why did I ever believe
someone anyone
would ever care about me

One day
I'll be gone
You'll miss who I was

I was sick
Now I'm better
No new scars
A better woman

Shame on you
You coulda had me
