Emmy Dec 2013
Put me to shame
Who's to blame?
Had me fooled with your silly little games
Infatuated---a high,  a burning spark against the dark night sky.

Bright and ever so fleeting
Crashing and cold
icy comets falling from the stars
Now I stand
stranded
for you took me to sea
ripped the sails then decided to leave me be.

Like a little boy's paper airplane with bent wings
or a woman who has lost her voice and can no longer sing
Kite's on windless days
masterpieces painted on napkins, with the first intention of being thrown away.
Emmy Dec 2013
A disturbance in the mirror
the sea a shattering gray
a sadness so heavy and unrelenting
never to go away
>>>>>>
Running so fast, so fast
outrunning the past
Slammed into a blinding light, a brick wall
hopped aboard a train
take me far from this pain
the emotion swelled like a wave in the ocean
>>>>>>
near-far, high-low, up above-down below
sickening emotion
hope like feathers------easily carried away by the wind
I danced like fire and my voice was carried by the wind
I walked like summer and crashed like the ocean
Believe me, love, I never wanted to be left broken.
Emmy Dec 2013
I strike matches with burning flames trying to ignite you
thinking maybe you'll want me again
I set you on fire only to burn myself over and over
my fingers are black
my heart burns blue
my body is up in flames
I knew you were never to be tamed
yet foolishly, I tried, like the child I am
so now my mind is twisted and bruised
screaming out for you.
Emmy Dec 2013
Your hands, hungry
for they were emptied
reach into my heart, please do
Your eyes, searching and ravenous
for their light that was stolen
immerse yourself within my radiance, please do
Your ears, alert
for the music that had fallen flat
steal my voice, please do
Your fingers, cold
for your warmth had been a token, a silence that went unspoken
Your heart, broken
seeing that it incessantly beat for someone who had stolen
take mine, please do
Mine is of no use to me, for it seems to only love you.
Emmy Dec 2013
You write depressing poetry
you lay in your bed for hours wasting time
rocking yourself back and forth with tears streaming down your face
you cry until you can't
you stare at the ceiling
you go crazy
you want to scream and punch things
you want to hold a gun to your head and pull the trigger
you want to die
you want to hurt them but you want to hold, love them at the same
you want to shout
you want to throw things
you ignore it
you don't ignore it
you sink into your darkness and let it consume you
you burn because that's all you have left to do
you burn with each memory and laugh as it sears your skin
fire rips through your veins
your heart thuds in your chest and you can't breathe.
I don't know I don't know because that's all I know how to do
I can't tell you how to stop *loving someone or how to heal from your sadness because I'm still searching for that answer myself.
Emmy Dec 2013
Time seems to be frozen and flying at the same time
as summer months creep closer to
You and me, I feel my stomach start to churn knowing
these months, for you, I will yearn
Time seems to be frozen and flying at the same time
I lie here and stare at an expanse of cracking white
for I wonder, if this, is all out of spite?
The coldness seeps into my bones and my fingers burn
knowing these months, for you, I will yearn
Time seems to be frozen and flying at the same time
I stare at the sky and how the clouds make love to fiery towers of leaves
My heart is cold
my veins burn blue, bold
Breathing in slow heaves, for you
I know
will leave
****, **** me for you
I wear my bitter heart on my sleeve
Time seems to be frozen and flying at the same time
Incessant love pours from my being for you
Ineffable sadness consumes my aching frame
and these tumultous feelings of shame
{}
In these months, for you, I yearn
Time is freezing and is no longer flying
For you, I yearn
Time is frozen and no longer freezing
Time is frozen and so am I
Emmy Nov 2013
I so very badly
Wish to be
The sheets wrapped around your
Body, all night long.
I so very badly
Wish to be
The sunlight that kisses your
Skin, softly as the sun rises.
I so very badly
Wish to be
the stars that captivate your
Sight, long into the night.
I so very badly
Wish to be
The melody stuck in your
Head, before you go to bed.
I so very badly
Wish to be
Everything you need.
I so very badly
Wish you to be
Here, lying next to me.
I so very badly, wish to be.
