One night stand
Alexis Oct 2017
I lay here
Naked and exposed.
But only for a night,
By morning he must go.
Make me feel beautiful,
I don’t care about tomorrow,
Kiss me, **** me, hold me
To forget all my sorrows.

I don’t find myself being happy,
My taste in men is rather lacking.
They’re like the whiskey in my mouth I taste when I’m hungover.
Feels good at the time but I’m always sorry when it’s over.
I don’t feel good enough in my current relationship,
The man I’m with .. makes me feel like a *******.
He doesn’t look at me the way he looks at other woman,
and he tells me clothes don’t do me justice and that I look better naked.
and the lies are too hard to ignore anymore,
When I have to fight for his attention and he treats me like I’m his chore.
He said he was on his way home to go to to bed, but he did me real *****,
he already told me earlier he got invited to go out drinking at 10:30,
But why would he lie?
Because the last time we went out drinking together he did things that really hurt me.
This relationship is toxic because I already knew what would happen after that lie.
He’d ignore all my texts and “forget to reply”
The way it works is he will apologize and feel bad the next day,
Because I’m such a nice girl and he sees his mistake,
But it’s not enough to say I forgive him or pretend it’s okay,
Hes breaking my trust every lie, each day.
I’ve tried so hard to get him to realize how much I care,
But he doesn’t seem to understand what he’s doing isn’t fair.
From the candlelit dinners to the mixed CDs and “Bang Me” valentines cake, i now realized were a waste of time and my own **** mistakes.
The nights I spent running my fingers through his hair ...which was he favorite thing
will just have to be memories that he’ll have to bear.


Because I’m not enough to get him to change,
It’s not enough to be me.
I haven’t any choice anymore
Hes forcing me to leave

Before you eat that..
Take a look in a mirror
and tell me what you see.

I see One-Hundred fourty three pounds of fat
Staring back at me.
I haven’t even eat in two days,  
How can this be?
That I look bigger today
Than I looked last week ...

My tragic love life is filled with sadness and pain,
It could very well be explained by the amount that I weigh!
Before you eat again,
Take a look in the mirror and tell me this,
What amount of food means more than your bliss?

A girl is a girl is girl.
Alexis Apr 2017
A girl who knows her beauty
is an unstoppable force
As the one who holds her head high
can see other perspectives.

A girl who needs to fake a frown to persuade her audience of sadness
is an unstoppable force
As the one who is never truly depressed
Is truly happy.

A girl who is in love
is an unstoppable force
As the one who believes that love will conquer all,
will conquer all.

A girl who has a broken heart
is a stoppable force
As the one who is betrayed of her innocence,
becomes corrupt.

A girl who questions her beauty
is a stoppable force
As the one who begins to hang her head low
will never see her own reflection.

A girl who has to fake a smile to persuade her audience of happiness
is an unstoppable force
As the one who hides her darkness,
protects others.

&

A girl who feels alone
is both unstoppable and stoppable
As the one who dances alone in the dark,

is numb.

I used to put my faith into these numbers.
Wishing, hoping and dreaming that time could define
A perfect life with you….
and still
It doesn’t make sense to look back,
and think that 11:11 was just that.
“Make a wish” in text, sent every night,
Not a superstition and more than a time.
It was my way of saying that I truly love you,
and our dreams and our hopes will grow to be true.

My life
Alexis May 10
It goes back to the first wrong turn,
Looking up and down a street to learn,
No father clone, just one brother tight,
Here my mamas cries in the darkness of night.
she tried so hard to give us a better life,
instead ending with strife..

Some Nick guy stole my youth from me,
never did said sorry for sexually molesting me.
I held it inside, never told no one.
The child had died and the man begun.

Made me confused at such a young age
Stepped into the game of life at such an early stage,
My soul was lost, I was full of rage…
So let me turn the page..

Never could ever trust no one
Because of that I never truly had any fun.
Jealousy and envy towards everyone ,
I was a shadow
While the world was the sun.

Always wanted to just fit in,
Came up short from beginning to end.
So much hurt from the soul within,
Let me turn the page again..

I’d spend so many hours chasing the moon around,
Late at night inside my very small town.
That’s when trouble was found and I was on my way;
Juvi bound.

Trapped in a cell at the age of thirteen,
My nightmares began, vacant of dreams.
Wanting to live but surrounded by hate..
Fist fights over food, bloodshed for plates….

If you loved me,
As much as I loved you,
You wouldn't have felt so alone.


If only our love story was different and if you would’ve ended up with me



you’d still be alive

Low Points
Alexis Aug 2017
Crying myself to sleep has become routine.
Warm, salty tears stream down my face more and more
while finding happiness is an endless journey when it comes down to what happiness even means to me.
I feel no purpose.
I feel no success in where I stand and I don't like my own reflection.
I am not sure how much longer I have before emptiness swallows me whole
and the taste of blood is bitter from biting my tongue for so long.
I am crying for myself,
For I am once, again, engulfed by darkness and can no longner stand on my bruised & beaten spirit.
I cannot lean on you,
I cannot lean on me because my worthless legs have given out from under me.
So,
I just let the warm salty tears fall on my open wounds in hope that one day they will heal.

Denial
Alexis Jul 2017
The past will always be history, but I’ve neglected that my past is my history and denying its existence does not change the fact I lived it. For so long, I’ve been denying my past because I was afraid it was going to defy me but who I have pretended to be lately was everything I was denied in my past. By pretending to be something I’m not was denying me a future of happiness because I was denying who I was. I hid my flaws, and my faults, my struggle. I couldn’t love me because I didn’t know who I was, I am still learning who the person in the mirror is, but **** ill always be one of the realist people I know. Tonight I stop denying my past, so I can accept who I am. I can’t deny that person in the mirror anymore, I can’t deny my past.

The way your looking at me like that,
Smirking oh so ****.
Your fingers tracing their way up my dress,
Exactly where they need to be.

But my body's saying differently.
You can see how bad I want you in my eyes,
You lit a fire that could only be put out one way....

The Great Oblivion of Sleep
Alexis Aug 2017
It was a moment when time seemed to stand still.
Your hands on my waist,
My hands lightly touching your shoulders. The moment I looked into that smile,
the smile that was so sincere and genuine.
That's when I felt a great amount of loss.
I was lost, in that smile, in those eyes, in that perfect moment.. with you.
I wanted to get lost and you devoured my heart & soul every chance you could,
Because
I was devouring you just as much,
and I was wasted on how good it felt to get lost with you,
That...
    i forgot everything else.

I adore every breath you take. I am in love with every sound that escapes the soft curves of your lips as i kiss that spot between your jaw and neck. I melt when your hands touch my skin, dilly dallying across every inch of my body, because you take your time, nothing but pure love cultivating itself deep within my heart. I love going to sleep next to you and listening to you mumble about things that make no sense. I don’t think I can get enough of the way your voice sounds in the morning when sleep is still lingering in your throat and you look at me with heavy eyes. I love how I fall more in love writing about it.

I
Love

Do you even realize I've stopped sharing my secrets with you?
or are you so caught up in sharing your own.
Did you notice me shutting you out?
I'm shutting you out because I don't know how to tell you.
I don't love you like you deserve and I feel shallow to think you are only sharing your secrets with me because you think I do.
I don't. I'm sorry.
I don't deserve to know whats deep within your heart because I can't promise I'll do the same.
I wish i was stronger so I could tell you how I really feel,
but I am a coward and as soon as i get the chance I'll make you regret ever letting me in.

I never thought we would eventually come to this. There was a time when I thought our love would stand the test of time and there was a short time I thought nothing could come between us. Unfortunately, all the hurt and lies have chipped away at our once perfect relationship and there is nothing left to hold on to. The way things are now, we are no longer a positive influence in each other's life. We just make each other miserable instead of happy, and make life harder rather than easier.
How many times have we said we have had enough and never wanted to see each other again, only to kiss and make up, then try again? Well, someone has to be strong enough to say enough is enough and walk away as bad as it will hurt. I have been really unsympathetic the last couple months and I do wish I could have handled things differently. Here’s the last time I’m going to share my view on this relationship and whether or not you actually read it and try to understand, well that’s up to you. I was really excited when we met and I tried to play every card right that I had to win you over and at very first it seemed reciprocated. You travelled for work a lot and we usually hung out on weekends which was understandable, plus it gave me time to focus on school and homework and look forward to the weekend. After we started having *** and hanging out more you didn’t seem interested or look forward to things as much as I did and it was noticeable. I think you were going through your own problems in life and you wanted to do things I didn’t and I think you wished I was more exciting, and at some point I started to annoy you because that when our relationship was the worst. You’d begin to point things out that were wrong with me and I don’t know if you did it because it was your way of telling me you didn’t want me or I needed to change but I took it so personal because I was trying to make things work so much. You always pushed me to go to the gym and so I started doing that and trying my best to look good for you, just you. I spent my free time working out, doing homework, trying to plan stuff out for us and win you over all the while I was working two jobs and going to school. Remember when you stayed that week and I made you lunch everyday? Tried making your favorite dinner? Valentines? Mixed CDs? That night you were more excited about the Andre Nickatina concert than what was in front of you. That’s when I started to complain more, I want to go look at the stars, I want to watch Disney movies, I want flowers, a promise ring, all the stuff you weren’t into, and I think you took that as nagging and whining but I was actually begging for your attention when you were too busy giving it to other people (this was around the time I caught you talking to Britney, Victoria). However even then I continued to try and win you over. I worked my *** off to afford a weekend away with you, and I remember being so insecure every eight hour shift thinking “I hope he’s not doing something that would hurt me” or “ if I can just make it to eureka with him maybe he’ll see I’m different and worth it.” I was panicking and the one who hated to look at her phone because I know you didn’t respond, I began hating the people who did text and call me because it got my hopes up. All the times I seen you even message girls I felt so betrayed and my happiness was harder and harder to regain. You would tell me you didn’t have time to see me then post your at the gym with your friends or out with your friends. Like when we were trying to talk in the car and I remember us screaming at each other and then your phone went off and it was “someone who used to live on the same street as you” you have been talking to her the couple days I tried to leave and you tried to tell me you were talking to her about us but it gets hard to believe after Victoria, Britney, Nemmy, and all the others I’ve probably forced myself to block out. At this time I NEVER even spoke to another man, I was so loyal because all I did was try and be good for you. Then you bought your bike and started losing me and you didn’t even see it. You wanted to explore because you were so excited about the whole motorcycle thing, and I’ll give you this, I wasn’t very supportive of it because I thought all you wanted it for was attention. This is when my family started to not trust you because you were going out to bars and talking to other girls, you’d leave town for days and ignore me, then bring flowers and try to make up for it and it was so hard not to forgive you. Eventually that motorcycle phase came to and end and I think this is when you had a moment of pure realization and missed me the most. Maybe if you spent all that time working on us I could have bloomed into something other than this unstable insecure woman. If you stopped being negative about me and our relationship to my family and friends they wouldn’t have been so negative to you and I wouldn’t have pulled into myself and shied away. I became convinced I no longer knew myself for making me seem so hard to love. Regrets always set in right? I was wrong too because all the while I kept trying to leave you I couldn’t because I felt so insecure and down about myself and you would convince me that you were going to try and be better but I don’t think you ever meant it because you never followed through. Then I started slimming up and I was getting attention from other people and at that point, it was so hard to ignore attention from someone when that’s all I ever was craving from you. Dallas, Conner, they are both two incredible men that actually haven’t done anything to hurt me regardless I haven’t given them much time. But how it works with me is you get my trust and benefit of the doubt until you don’t. I had gotten involved with Dallas and he spoiled me with attention in the most kindest of ways. I had to make a really hard decision when you found out but guess what? I chose you even though I felt rotten for hurting him because I know I did. I wanted to give it another kick and at this point I am where I’m at now so depressed and unsure about anything in life. I’ll give you recognition for all the time you were there for me, my car getting broken into, Daniel, my family, me being sick, you did sometimes. I tried being there for you always, and I tried winning over your family so hard! Then the neighbor thing, the punching me thing, the moving to Idaho and lying about it thing. That’s when I pulled away the most and I became numb to feeling anything. I am exhausted about all of it. I can see how it has been ripping out your heart just like you ripped out mine and that’s what makes it so hard to see because you’re trying as much as I did at one point. Yeah I talked to Conner and Andrew and others that I know you had a insecurity about but I can’t feel too bad for you considering how I’m trying to cope with the past two years and maybe talking to other people helps and makes me happy. Now I can’t help but here nagging most of the time you talk to me and I can’t believe or trust your word on anything. You make me feel guilty for this but I mean I’m already depressed and having a really hard time with life so it’s easy for me to believe I’m hard to love and I am even more lost than I was before with who I am. It breaks my heart to watch you do such irrational things to try and win me over now because I don’t know how much I believe we will actually ever work or have future together anymore. Not only that but it really confuses me and puts me in bad spots which isn’t fair to either of us and it makes you look bad when the last thing I would want in a relationship is for everyone not to support it? The roles have clearly switched here and for me it’s much harder to pretend none of this happened then it is to give you another chance. Especially when I’m at a point in my life where I need to focus on school and my mental health because I don’t have many people to lean on and the ones I do clearly don’t believe in us either. This has been the most learning relationship for me and I think you need to try and learn from it to considering all your past relationships have ended similar except you were the one who moved out of state. Im really really lost right now and I don’t know if I can build myself up in the same relationship that beat me down. I ******* love you Nicholas but I have to be the one to walk away so both of us stop hurting. I feel really sick after writing this but I had to try and explain myself one last time because maybe you’ll be okay this time because I forgive you for all the mistakes you have made and I don’t hate you for them, I just want you to grow from them and take responsibility for what has happened because you shouldn’t hide things in relationships it never works out. Just know I forgive you for all of it, but I’ll never forget it and that’s the ultimate problem.

I'm here, sitting in the dark corner of a coffee shop.
Every time the door opens the cold night breeze floods my essence
and gives me goosebumps,
symbolic of my current emotional state of mind; cold.
My eyelids fall heavy as I close my eyes for a quick daydream.
I can almost feel the faint warmth of his complexion as I am heavily buried in his chest
Tight arms securing me, relaxing me.
He leans in and I gently press against his rosy lips before the cold night breeze shakes me from my daze.
I can hear the barista.

whether you were boys

Intoxication presents me with the deepest and realist thoughts.
Ones i wouldn't dare think or dream about sober
I am consumed with memories that will always be just that.
I hold them closest, in fear that they will disappear
but they only appear when I'm intoxicated
when the state of mind is dangerous and needy
Save me from these memories or **** me.
