Please can I just let go of you
Please
I don't want to see your face anymore
I don't want to think of how you used to make me feel
I don't
Just leave my mind
Please
I hate you
You've ruined me for other men
I hate you

Dear You
Elizabeth Burns Jul 2018
Dear You

You were my best friend. I trusted you and I loved you. You nestled your way into my life so easily. We clicked. We laughed.

And then it changed.

You developed feelings. I remained the same. I told you to bury them and I wish you kept them buried. I wish you never fell in love with me. It scared me. I was so vulnerable. I was never ready for love.

You were my best friend and what hurts more right now is that I've lost my best friend. I've lost your trust. I've lost you.

I wish we had stayed best friends and I wish you were satisfied with that. I wish we never went on that holiday. I wish I never got drunk and kissed you. I wish that we could just be best friends. I wish. I wish.

But all that is broken now, isn't it?
And wishes don't come true.

I hope someday you can look me in the eyes and see what you've done to me. I hope you heal. I hope I do too for real this time...
I hope one day we could be friends. I don't know.

I loved you, but we both know it was the wrong time for both of us. It was wrong timing. I believe you should've waited for me to heal properly. I don't know.

But you resent me now and our memories mean nothing to you now. Those memories meant the world to me. And I don't know what to do with these thoughts.

Anyway, I hope you heal.

Love
Elizabeth

The Truth of Your Lies
Elizabeth Burns Oct 2017
It's quite something
when all the
lies come out

One by one.

Slowly
they bite at you
and try to numb your mind...

And then you inhale
the smell of truth.
The comedy of it all.
What a fool you were
and what a fool he is.

Oh, all your lies, baby,
they'll come out
soon enough
for the world to see

Inside you

I think What's important
Is to make these beautiful memories
With fantastic people
Who make you feel better inside
Who make you happy
Who bring out the better side of you
People who heal your brokeness

Tell me I was more...
Elizabeth Burns Nov 2017
Tell me
That I was more
More than just
An object to toy with
More than...
An object
Of ***.

Mystic beach
Elizabeth Burns Apr 2018
The beach has a tone
Of romance
Of suffocating brilliance
Crystal salt glistens on the beach
And you walk beside me
My pillar of strength
My Man of God
I love you...

We stand
The ocean breeze in my hair
And my hand in yours
Firm and strong
To keep me safe

There's something about the ocean
The beach
Something that makes me buzz

I gave myself to you this morning...
All of me
Every part of me is yours

I love you

You are mine
And I am Yours
Your bride to be...
As you say,
You can't wait
Until you can whisper
"My wife, my love..."

I gave my body to you
I give you my soul
I give you my heart
I give you my life

I am Yours and You are mine

As I say, there's something mystical about the beach
I'm glad it happened here
With the sound of waves crashing in my ears  
As you crashed into me...
Loving me ever so softly
Gently

Oh what a lover You are

I love you

Dear Damian

You emotionally abused me

And you were on the verge of physical
Abuse

Especially one day when you punched your hand
Right next to my face

I hope you heal

"Take you thoughts
And go shove them into a poem."
Thanks babe
How I ever dated you, I don't know what I was thinking
If you can mock what is dear to me
If you can treat me like trash
If you can break me down without a care
You are nothing to me

Want to commit suicide

Pleas for an alcoholic
Elizabeth Burns Apr 2018
Oh God
Please don't let it be
Don't let his mouth touch the bottle again
O God
I know it's bound to happen
But I want to pray for him
Even after all the hurt he put me through
All the pain
God, I want to pray for him
I pray that alcohol does not become his only vice
The only mouth to listen to his pleas
God, be with him
God please

Why are you the centre of our fights
You're out of my life
But yet you're still here
Haunting my dreams
Breaking me
Wrecking my current relationship
With the demons you left inside me
Tormenting me

I hate you damian
I hate you
You don't know how much you ******* me up
An outlet of feelings. I'm sorry if you see this

Just a dream

I dreamt of you again...
I don't know why
I thought you were gone
Stupid thoughts
I'm such a mess

Am I such a ***** up to love
Is something  so wrong with me
I have standards
Is that too much
I don't want a boy
I want a man
Is that too much to ask for

You act like him sometimes
Why did I choose wrong again

He ignored me
He resents me

What you deserve
Elizabeth Burns Jun 2018
"Please don't swear at me,"
she begged
as tears ran from her eyes
On the other end of the phone
"You deserve this," he screamed,
"You deserve to be sworn at."
