If I can't find you in this lifetime,
I'll find you in another.
I'll wait for you forever,
you'll always be my lover.
Elise Jul 2013
Louis Vuitton brown,
Chanel black,
Classic McQueen,
i'm surrounded by such luxuries.

If I lost it all,
i'd be alright,
I really don't need to be in the spotlight.

I hate this poem.
it's amateur night here folks. will probably come back to this to fix it.
Elise Aug 2015
When this week is finally over
my bones will crack under the pressure of your gaze
it feels i've been waiting my whole life for this, for you
i'm not sure my heart will survive the overwhelming joy
i want to hold onto this night forever, my sleep i've lost over you
the moments are passing so fast and so slow your voice ringing in my ears
our laughter always in sync my god i can't wait another day.
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.

Sitting here, I keep telling myself it is time to go.
Sitting here, I ask myself where I go from here.
Sitting here.  Still sitting.  Stuck.
Elise Apr 2015
My arms pull her close to my chest
so that she can lay her head above my heart
and listen to it beat like a ticking clock
where she can keep time and remember she’s alive.
Together we watch the headlights of cars
line shadowed walls in the silence
that is only broken by our synchronized breaths.
I watch her eyelids fall like dying stars,
with much more grace it takes my breath away,
a vision not everyone is blessed to see,
the moonlight’s glow on her dark hair has hypnotized me.
How could I ever long to sleep?
Elise Jul 2013
I'm kind of like a helium balloon.
Let me go free and I will fly high in the sky,
but eventually I grow tired and float back down.
Right back into R  E  A  L  I  T  Y.
Elise Jun 2013
I put on some heels
so I would feel pretty,
but now i'm just sitting in heels alone.

I think i'll just take them off since
they aren't much help,
and go back across town.

Maybe on the way i'll stop in the coffee shop,
and meet someone there who will actually care.

But I know that when I get there I will
get my coffee and leave, disappointed from my
extreme amount of optimism and and the sense of reality coming back to me.

I cover things up by doing things happy people would do,
but do I really feel it?

I did. But I don't anymore. Life has gotten confusing again and the heels can no longer fix it.

There aren't going to be pretty girls at the coffee shop who will understand or even talk to me.

My hopes are always too high. My head always in the clouds. Someone needs to bring me down.

I am alone and forever I will be.
Elise Jan 2014
This darkness that's engulfed our youth
will one day be devoured by the light
that is slowly being discovered,
through words of hope and love and wonder,
where strength is found in turmoil,
where mistakes were once taken for weakness,
the children of today will blossom,
and create a safer world for the children of tomorrow.

Baby, bring your body close to mine,
let me hold you really tight.
I will kiss each freckle,
let me play connect-the-dots.
Your hair wrapped in my fingers,
I pull a little harder when your lips meet
the nape of my neck just right.
Your fingers explore every inch of my being,
sending shivers through me, reminding me how much I'm living.
My legs search the sheets for yours,
pulling them in, we become tangled,
we become one.

-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 Feb 2014
I asked myself if I did that,
as if I had been sitting here before.
"Was that me? Why don't I remember doing this?"
and I think who it was who sat here before me,
where are they now, how was their life affected by
drawing two lines on a desk,
what knowledge were they
distracting themselves from learning?
How did my life change by fixing the line
so that it was straight?
Why is any of this significant?

Just give me one kiss
with those saltwater lips
and I will give you my soul.
You can drag me out to sea,
the water heavy over me,
and watch me gladly drown.
As the water fills my lungs,
I'll look up to the sun,
reminded of your beauty.
The red spots that color my eyes will
be a memory of those lips that
brought me to my gorgeous demise.
Elise Nov 2014
She's got a coke face on
like her nose is about to bleed
she's lost in her twisted world
consumed by lies and greed.

Believing that she has it all
I laugh because I watched her fall
her beauty is now lost and gone
and her sorrows she pretends to drown.

Her skull, it shows, there's nothing left,
thin skin lining bone, she's dancing with death.
She's empty and numb, her dreams falling like snow,
sleepwalking through life, she's losing herself to blow.
Elise Feb 2014
Your nails carving out my inner thighs
as your fingers move their way upward
goosebumps rising on every limb
your mouth moves down away from my lips
I feel your warmth don't let it stop
I pull your hair
guiding you where I want you most
you take the hint your skin I feel it
I'm full of light in the dark room wrapped up
in these white sheets with you.
Elise Aug 2013
...and I remember the first day I saw you,
our first adventure together,
you pulled out a Cheshire cat,
you knew my favorite everything,
our first adventure,
our last.
Elise Jul 2013
You seem so distant.
What do you know about me
really? Not much at all.

You know I adore
Alice in Wonderland. You
know I love music.

You know that I think
the trees are beautiful. You
know green is my choice.

You know I am more
girlie than the others. You
know I'm not sporty.

You know I find peace
in the rain as it slides down
my skin in summer.

You know I enjoy
singing to myself. You know
I like small children.

But what about me?
Those are simple things. Do you
not know who I am?

Have you tasted my
soul? I want you to. I will
happily share it.

Only for you. You're
the one I choose to share it
with. You are lucky.  

Know me. Learn me. Please.
I want to be a part of
you. You must know me.
Elise Sep 2013
How could I have showed you what you meant to me?
Do you know how many times I would've caught a train to be with you?
I had to think of your parents, they would've loved that.
How many times I wished you were at school so I could be there to take care of you.
Endless thoughts running through my head of the day i'd be able to sit with you,
just be with you, make you feel loved, let you know someone was there,
let you cry in my arms, let you know that someone cared.
The ceaseless worrying over you,
you think i'd intentionally hurt you?
I could never, I can't even think of it,
what I said, those words weren't from me,
you need to understand,
I need you to understand.
I'm being selfish, but I deserve to be,
you don't know how much you mean to me.
It's all so crazy,
I was there for you never asking for anything,
but now,
now,
****.
I just want you back.
I want our friendship back.
I need you to understand me like I understood you.
I need you to forgive me.
I need you to trust me
because I would be there for you always.
Elise Sep 2013
love conquers all, right?
then tell me, why have I loved
you without a glance?

When I was younger I used to

Rip* my heart open,

Love flows* through fresh wounds.

I am dusting off my heart for you.
You can have my heart, my life, my soul.
You have completely enchanted me.
I am truly in Wonderland.
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.

My broken lover ****** me over,
she was never really my lover at all.
She stuck around all this time
just to watch me fall.

No one watched me fall apart,
left alone in the darkest dark,
no light left here, no one near,
only the ghost of me writhing in fear.

I stayed by the side of everyone I love,
each left me abandoned,
no hope from above.

Emptied I became,
body, soul, mind,
no love left to give,
leaving everything behind.

I loved you with everything that I had,
I'm sorry I wasn't enough for you,
but there's no longer reason to be sad.

This will be my final goodbye,
I apologize for my crimes,
I thank you for your time.

Gentle as the breeze,
thoughts of you run endlessly
through this troubled mind.
Elise Jul 2013
Your voice is the flutter of butterfly wings on a warm spring day,
your hair is the willows that sway in the cool summer breeze,
your spine is the icicles on the coldest winter day,
your touch is the crisp air in autumn.

You are the seasons that comfort me,
knowing they are always going to come,
knowing that the weather will always be the same
when it is that time of year.
You will be there, just like the seasons,
and with each season comes a different kind of beauty,
a beauty that you surely possess.

You are the snow, you are the crisp, golden leaves,
you are the flowers that bloom so bright,
and you are that summer breeze that caresses me at night.

i cannot see the stars in the city,
and it reminds me that like the stars,
you are also gone.
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.

For a second I understood what it felt like to be a drum
with an empty center that reverberated every time it was hit
just so everyone else could enjoy the music.

But now I see the drum for all that it is
it is not just emptiness
it creates that sound
it moves people
it evokes emotion

I am the drum
I am the whole drum
I am not defined by the emptiness
pounding me no longer wounds me
now I can listen to the music
now I am strong.

I love you
     I love you, I do.
             your sleepy eyes,
             your heavy heart,
             the way your faded smile turns around
             and makes your eyes shine bright,
             the look you give me when I have a complaint,
             the look you give me when you see my happiness.
     The love of the world you have through the bad,
     The love of the world you have through the good.
I love you, I do, and I love
             the way you giggle to yourself when you're lost in thought,
             the way you ignore me during your favorite song,
             the way your soul helps you to dance through this battle-filled life.
             and I love the way you let your light shine through your scars.
                              I love you, I love you, I do.

There is a deep sadness building
up inside this chest.

The cavity protecting this weak
heart is caving in.

This skull is cracking from the
bitter thoughts that run endlessly
through this brain.

These fingers are growing cold
from the lack of warmth they
find when they reach out to
find nothing waiting.

This stomach churns at the
thought of you never being
here.

These legs grow restless when
they only long to run to you.

These lips quiver when they
have no chance of speaking
with you.

These lungs can't breathe
without your breath
entering my mouth.

How will this body survive,
if it does not have you near?
Elise Jul 2013
Do you know I like to be called crazy?
Do you know what you do to me?
Are you trying to make me your baby?
Elise Jul 2013
You made me fall in love with you,
first with your words,
then with your humor,
next with your smile,
then with your innocence.

You made me fall in love with you,
I fell fast and I fell hard.
It was as if someone came along
and dropped
a watermelon from the top of
the Empire State Building
as all the passerby's stood
in awe, watching it explode
as it hit the ground;
my heart being the watermelon.

You made me fall in love with you,
and I go mad every time
you say those three simple
words that mean the world to
those who receive them.

You made me fall in love with you,
and even if your 'I love you's' don't
mean what I want them to mean,
I will never leave you,
I'll stay by your side.

Your body is the poem,
written for the soul,
though these thoughts may escape you,
this is what makes you whole.

Your toes find comfort when they're buried in the sand,
your heels provide strength when you feel you can no longer stand.

Your knees are there to break your fall,
your legs keep you moving; walk proud and tall.

Your hips carry your body to music in the night,
your tummy releases butterflies when lovers unite.

Your chest holds the ***** that loves the world so fully,
your throat provides conversation when you are scared and lonely.

Your lips find sweetness in that sinful drink,
your eyes reveal the universe between every blink.

Your body is the poem,
written for the soul,
remember to nourish it,
take over control.
