Scars
Emma Sep 2013
all i want is someone to look at me and accept my scars
too look deep in my soul
and see the pretty that drowns in my fear

i see nothing but wrong in my ways
and i need someone to convince me otherwise
or one day
these scars will re-open and bleed away*

next time i wont drown in my fear
but
*my own rusty blood

Untitled
Emma Sep 2013
I am afraid to look in mirrors
I hate what I see
There's a sadness far beyond those lifeless eyes
There's a loneliness far beyond that distant smile
and
There's a pain,
Pain that I cause
Pain that I need

*I only wish one day you take away my despair

Sand Grains
Emma Sep 2013
& I want to be your shore,
let your waves crash over me
tenderly
violently        

drown me in your blue dream

then pull me back in grain by grain

I am the sand, I'll float with you

no need to take my hand

*because I am the sand

Warzone
Emma Sep 2013
There's a war inside my heart,
I can't seem to depart
a dying soldier right from the start

these missles are going off, blowing me apart

The ruins of hurt and anger clouding my sight

running for my life, which way is right,
darkness or light,
give in or fight?

can I survive this destruction
or
should
I
hide away and save my self?

I am not ready.



but in the end I am the soldier

and you are the battle

and I am simply a forgotten casualty
in your
warzone

Wind
Emma Aug 2013
You blew me away on that cold November day

after you held me in your arms the night before

I was whirled about in your silent storm

after you whispered "You're safe with me."

Now here I am, the day it all began

and to you, I am nothing but

the

cold

unsettling

You are the drug
Emma Aug 2013
You are the drugs I inject in my veins

High and lost in your sweet haze

I never want to comedown from you, withdrawls would go on forever

Keep me here, hold me tight

Don't let me fall, it's way too high

You are the drugs I inject in my veins

& someday I will lose all control

Storytime
Emma Aug 2013
She has a story, one that has never been told
but would one listen if it were read aloud

It's a never-ending book, pages and pages, go on and on..

like the night sky and the twinkling stars

like a red rose, beautiful yet as painful as those stinging thorns

like the shining sun with it's glimmering rays, yet burns if you linger too long

like the sea, vibrant blues and soothing waves, vast and deep, easy to drift away

like the feeling of love, but the word that is tossed around like confetti

like the taste of sweet sugar, however, sickening if consumed way too much

like a cool summer breeze, or a sting of a bee, like a simple shade of pink, or the force of a blow

Her story is beautiful, but is filled with great pain

She has a story, one that has never been told
but would one listen if were read aloud

Salt
Emma Aug 2013
A single tear ran down his face
I captured that sadness between my lips



I tasted his pain, the sting of loss
& couldn't fathom why I loved the taste



Bitterness is not my flavor
but I've began to favor the pure grains of those salty tears

Toy

Toy
you take
it all
you fake
a fall
you wait
for
an encore
but I
don't play anymore.

Snow
Emma Aug 2013
She searches for feelings in a white winter dream,
new fallen snow blanketing her dark world
The sweet gentle kiss of snowflakes, swirls around her; embracing her

She's gone from the suffocating heat, left that heaviness, but now cold and lost in this enchanting ice castle.


And now, Winter is over. It was never here, she realizes.

Snow was just an escape. To find a whimsical feeling in the depths of a plastic square baggy.

Snow, white pure snow.

— The End —
