Go.
Elise Oct 2013
Go.
Stay away, it's not like
you were ever here before.

Elise Jul 2013
I am not quite sure
if my words reached your head,
as your hair is a mess of long, brown tangles.

I am not quite sure
if my worries reached your heart,
as your muscles are strong, protecting it.

I am not quite sure
if my love reached your soul,
as your warm eyes are fixated on another.

I am quite sure
your listening ears heard my voice,
as you kindly replied through closed teeth and biased tongue.
Elise Jul 2013
I know it means nothing,
but my heart is fluttering in my chest
because of those silly words that you said.

I need to find reality,
*but for now I'll ride this high.
Elise Jun 2013
How many ways can
I express how much I love
you? Hard to fathom.
Elise Jun 2013
Gentle as the breeze,
thoughts of you run endlessly
through this troubled mind.
292 · Jul 2013
Slowly falling.
Elise Jul 2013
My eyes are heavy,
my breath is weak,
heartbeat slow,
slowly falling.

Salt in my Wounds
Elise Jun 2013
They say saltwater
heals, but then why do my eyes
burn at your absence?
290 · Sep 2013
why won't you look back?
Elise Sep 2013
love conquers all, right?
then tell me, why have I loved
you without a glance?
289 · Oct 2013
Enough?
Elise Oct 2013
No, I'm here.*

          That's not what I want to hear,
          what if it's never enough for me?

More and More
Elise Jul 2013
Every passing second
makes me miss you
more and more.

Every passing second
makes me love you
more and more.

Without Fear
Elise Jun 2013
Rip* my heart open,
blood dripping from broken seams,
Love flows* through fresh wounds.

Thoughts left in limbo.
Elise Aug 2013
I don't know what is right,
I don't know what is wrong,
how much should I fight,
should I stretch it out long?

You left me here,
out on this limb,
all full of fear,
my walls are closing in.

Do you want me to fight,
is that what you need,
because I will with all my might,
or will you pay me no heed?
281 · Oct 2013
Not forever.
Elise Oct 2013
I feel myself slipping away,
seeping into the cracks of your soul,
you're taking all that I have left,
but with no intention to remain.
A dangerous game I feel we're playing,
knowing I want to be your lover,
only allowing me to be your friend,
this won't last as i'm losing myself,
you'll take it all and look for more,
but nothing will be left,
and you'll leave me in the end.
281 · Sep 2013
What's left.
Elise Sep 2013
The wind carried the ghost of my soul to you.

Cry about it.
Elise Jul 2013
Yeah, it's hard,
and you don't think
it is, or you don't
understand
or something.
I don't know what
it is, but it is still hard,
and I still hate it,
and yeah, I want to
cry about it.

Out of Reach
Elise Jun 2013
Is it selfish for
me to miss you when I have
yet to call you mine?
274 · Jul 2013
Pull
Elise Jul 2013
This desire takes over
and I don't know what to do,
when my mind starts racing
and I think of only you.
Elise Jul 2013
I haven't left the bed yet,
I'm too comfortable for my own good,
so I'll just roll over and turn the pages
of this very good book.
272 · Jun 2013
This is not a poem but...
Elise Jun 2013
I adore every single one of you.
Your words are brilliant and you make me smile and you make me cry.
Keep writing.

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-
Elise Aug 2013
Although you didn't say goodbye,
you walked away without a care in the world,
but I won't forget you,
you are on my mind,
I will give you your time,
and I will have mine,
just know i'm coming back for you,
we were meant to be in each others lives.

Meant to be. Meant to stay.
262 · Oct 2013
you gave it to me.
Elise Oct 2013
'My heart was cold but then...'

This looks a lot like fate.
Elise Jul 2013
Tonight we talked
about the stars and
the heavens and the
future.

My future. You wanted
to know. You asked me
to tell you more.

I told you everything I
want. You don't know it,
but I know that's what you
want too.

The stars aligned, and we
were brought together,
and I think you are
realizing that now.

I think you're thinking,
*'This looks a lot like fate.'
261 · Jun 2013
I can taste it.
Elise Jun 2013
I never thought I
would be blessed to know pure joy
even without 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.

My sorry heart.
Elise Jul 2013
I probably should've warned
you to stay away from me.
I knew I'd fall in love with you
the minute I set eyes on you.
There was no hope for
this sorry heart.
246 · Jul 2013
Worth the fight.
Elise Jul 2013
I know it's true,
but I keep denying it to myself
because I cannot have you.

These feelings are wrong,
and  everything is backwards,
I just wish this once I would be right.

I think in the end
it will have been worth the fight.
243 · Jul 2013
Right now.
Elise Jul 2013
Holy ****
I want you.
242 · Sep 2013
you have another.
Elise Sep 2013
asleep in your arms,
a smile from your lips, a smile
from hers, and i'm here.
Elise Jul 2013
and one day I marched
right up to your front door
and took back what was
rightfully mine.
Silly you, stood in a state
of shock as you held out your
hand, dripping with blood from
the ***** that I gently placed back
into my chest.
239 · Jul 2013
Maybe.
Elise Jul 2013
Today I feel F A T
but I know that it is just
the shorts I'm wearing.

Maybe tomorrow
I will feel skinny again.
Who really knows though.
238 · Jun 2013
Not yours.
Elise Jun 2013
My heart beats' stutter.
I can't stop you from loving.
I wish it were me.
Elise Jul 2013
I think i'm going to
leave her for a while.
Let her miss me,
you know?
Maybe then she'll see.
235 · Jul 2013
It's worth a try, though.
Elise Jul 2013
I have learned that no matter
how many times I say 'I miss you',
you can't come home any sooner.

September sixth.
Elise Sep 2013
I am strong
                                     I will get through this
        I lost my friend
                                          but that won't break me.
               Lessons are learned,
                                    if that's all I can take,
               from this friendship
                                            that can no longer remain.

Elise Jul 2013
I no longer remember your scent,
but if it were to pass under my nose,
it would be as familiar as the back of my hand.
One week after we met. You wore my sweater. I already knew.
228 · Sep 2013
Now that you're back...
Elise Sep 2013
Never leave me,
never again,
your words are mine,
memories in my head.
226 · Jun 2013
Help, help.
Elise Jun 2013
a n x i o u s. thoughts racing.
heart muscle c o n s t r i c t s. Screaming.
no one can hear me.
225 · Jun 2013
I was yours, right?
Elise Jun 2013
I may not know you
very well, but I know my
heart is not lying.

The ink to my paper.
Elise Jul 2013
When all of my words
are stuck inside,
I wish my tears could write
the poems that long to be free.

If they could be the ink
to my paper,
maybe my mind wouldn't
be so ready to sink.
218 · Jul 2013
How long will I wait?
Elise Jul 2013
I miss you already
and it is only been an hour
since we last spoke.
How will I last without you?
213 · Jun 2013
she does not know.
Elise Jun 2013
She is listening
to the music, swaying. Free.
She is the music.
Elise Jul 2013
I asked you not to go,
and now you've asked me to stay.
I couldn't even imagine going away.

Elise Jun 2013
Your written words brought
tears to my eyes as you spoke
so genuinely.
205 · Jun 2013
One chance. Please?
Elise Jun 2013
Will you ever know
what you are missing? I would
give you everything.
204 · Jul 2013
That's all in the past now.
Elise Jul 2013
She told me I could wake her
if I had a nightmare.
She said that she would hold me
until I fell again.
I love her. I always will.
That's all in the past now.

Elise Jul 2013
I want to tell you
that I love you at all times
of the day. Right now.

You deserve to know
how much you are truly loved.
I wish I could share.

It is on the tip
of my tongue. Those three words,
ready to be said.

I have to hold them
in. I long to share them. To
let you know. Three words.

I cannot stress this
enough. Maybe you do know.
I love you, pretty.
This may be deleted, i'm not happy with it.
