I am the saddest
little petal there ever
was. No pigment left.

*** in the City*

It's not much to ask.
Elise Jun 2013
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.

My Promise to You.
Elise Jun 2013
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.
Elise Jun 2013
So much anger built
up inside. These muscles are
tense. Rage takes over.
Jun 2013 · 475
Please, for me.
Elise Jun 2013
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.

Roots.
Elise Jun 2013
You never think the
pain will go when love is lost.
It's the truth. It stays.

But you learn. You grow.
Love will come again. It will.
You will radiate.
Elise Jun 2013
I am missing you.
Even when I am speaking
with you I miss you.

The World.
Elise Jun 2013
Guilty of loving
you, but i'm not sorry. What
I would give for that.

Not for your love, but
for anyone to love me
like that. Anything.

I would give it all.
For you. For me. Love.
I want the world, love.

These Bones.
Elise Jun 2013
These bones of mine are
not as weak as I make them
out to be. I am.

I am weak for thought.
I am not. I am stronger
than I had presumed.

These bones of mine. They
hold this weight. Carry it with
them on their journey.

I am not. My thoughts.
Thoughts of you. My love. Your pain.
These bones carry you.

Your thoughts. They haunt you.
Your thoughts. They haunt me. My bones.
They carry your thoughts.

Your bones, my lovely.
No worries. I carry your
pain. I carry mine.

You are not weakness.
I am not weakness. We are
strength. These bones are ours.

Truly Certain.
Elise Jun 2013
You truly loved me
Everyone knew it was true
You can't deny it.

I knew it when you
Said my name. You knew it too.
You stopped saying it.

I knew it when you
Held my hand. You knew it too.
You let go of it.

I knew it when you
Pulled me close. You knew it too.
You pushed me away.

I knew it when you
Kissed me twice. You knew it too.
'It never happened.'

You were afraid, love.
I would have kept you safe, love.
You were all mine, love.

You truly loved me.
I truly love you. My heart
Is yours forever.

Hunger.
Elise Jun 2013
I give you my heart.
Here, take it. Rip it from it's
seams. Teach me to bleed.

If that's not enough,
sink your fingers deep within
pull apart sinews.

Are you satisfied?
No? Me neither. I want more.
I'm not yet hollow.

Drain this blood; warm, red,
from these small veins. Leave me cold.
For you, my soul, dear.
for you, everything.

Weighing Me Down
Elise Jun 2013
-I do not believe-
that this pain will go away
-tonight i suffer-


-I do believe-  that
you are worth every last
second of this wait


-this weight-  so heavy
I feel you with me although
-you are not here now-


-you were never here-
but this love, my heart, it's strong.
-I'll wait. Happily-

My petal. (Haiku break)
Elise Jun 2013
Your heart is as cold
As the soil I planted this seed in
But, as the seed grows into a flower,
So will your love.
The ground will become soft,
Your heart less hard.
With each,
Beauty will show.

Prey.
Elise Jun 2013
She is a siren.
She sang her song; left me here
to drown. Gasping. Red.
