Quick shudders surround-
Porcelain shadows on skin-
A shattered silence.
Emma Livry Apr 2016
I walk under a dark cloud,
Rain seems to fall from my eyes
And the sky constantly.
It wasn't my choice to live
In such bleak conditions-
My mission? To be free.
I've never felt secure before
Always uneasy and never safe,
A slave to my own memory.

But one day, the sky cleared
My mind took a veer towards happiness.
The rain decided to stop
And something mopped it all up.
For some of the few
There is no other view than sunshine.
And since I met you,
I know what to do- I must remain in the
Sun, and my sun is with you.

You came to borrow
But only stole
The things of sorrow
And made them gold.

Time is so fleeting
But never ends
So for our next meeting
Let us be friends.

You claimed to love
And give affection
But from above,
I see perfection.

It never is
Just as it seems
And you always
See my bursting seams.

You make me strong
And feel at ease
I know it's not wrong,
So just love me please.

No matter how much you spray the reason "I did it for you."
The rotten truth that you did it for yourself smells through.

All of the flowers
Need some amount of sunlight
In order to grow.

I cannot fathom
The fact that you are not lost-
A fathom away.

Passion is such a hard thing to control
When I have none myself.
People wish to prove their integrity
But I want none of it.
To me, words are the only things that speak-
Not actions.
Actions have never mattered to me.
You don't have to prove your passion
Because I already believe your words.
