*** in the City*
and pepperoni slices
are my company.

I constantly feel
unwanted by the people
I care about most.

I give them my all,
but it never seems to be quite
enough. So alone.

I am never thought
of; constantly left out. What
do I do wrong?

Am I there for you
too often? Is my advice
not to your standards?

Is my shoulder not
soft enough for you to cry
on? Am I too nice?

What do I do wrong?
Please tell me so I can fix
it. Should I fix it?

Is it me? Or you?
Am I looking at things all
wrong? I'm not too sure.

I just want to be
wanted. Thought of. That's all I
want. It's not a lot.

I need some air.

Breathing you in is
more refreshing than the air
after a cool rain.

It hurts.

I wish I could stop
loving you because it hurts.
*hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts

My Promise to You.

Believe me, darling,
when I tell you I would not
ever betray you.

You mean too much to
me for that to even be
a factor. Trust me.

I want to help you.
I want to listen. You are
worth more than you think.

Just know that someone
is here. Someone cares. It's true.
You won't be let down.

I am here for you,
and if you let me, I will
always be. Promise.

Just remember that
I love you. I am here for
you. Always, always.

Building Up.

So much anger built
up inside. These muscles are
tense. Rage takes over.

Elise Jun 2013

Please, for me.

I am trying to
protect you from the demons
that are found in love.

She is holding you
down. You are letting her win.
In the end, she'll leave.

I know it is hard
to face the truth, but baby,
don't let her hurt you.

You deserve better
with your beautiful soul. She
will let you fall.

She will let you fall,
then she will kick you when you're
down on the cold ground.

With no more remorse,
she will leave you again like
she has done before.

Take a step back. Know
this is wrong. Don't hold on.
You will be just fine.

Let me protect you.
Listen to what I say. Step
away. Don't lose sight.

I know you want to
be strong, but sometimes backing
down is what is right.

Closing the door is
strong. Leave behind what makes you
weak. Look to me now.

I will love you. I
will keep you safe. I promise.
You are beautiful.
