Ode to Time
Erin-Taylor Jun 2013
Ode to Time
Oh time, you are so valuable!
Without you, life would be impossible!
Some days, you move so slowly,
Way more slowly than your knowing;
But others you move too fast!
And I wish that you would last.
As of right now, you keep on ticking,
And everyone can hear your click, click, clicking.
Please never stop moving Time,
Otherwise the earth might end, that’s not divine.

Fight Back ;)
Erin-Taylor Feb 2013
Fight Back ;)
Push him back! Awaken the fears!
Scream very loud, so that everyone hears.

Stomp on him, the way he did you,
Let him know how it feels, from your point of view.

Spit in his face, that disgusting thing we all call 'man'.
Say, "how does it feel 'baby', try to catch me now if you can!"

With his nose bleeding, kick him some more,
For all the pain he's caused you, make it times four.

Never again shall he beat you down.
Not if you know, he won't be around....
                        ;)

A Life Inexchange For Some Words
Erin-Taylor May 2013
A Life Inexchange For Some Words
I'm slowly dying,
Can't you see?
What you say,
Is killing me.

Is it too hard to keep,
The mean words to yourself?
Or is this some kind,
Of currency, adding to your wealth?

I swear to you, we will be,
The cause of our own demise.
All fake and full of *******;
With way too many lies...
Still in the mood to write about this type of Bullying.

Nothing (Tanka)
My soul is gone.
My heart was taken by you.
Never to love again.
You’ve broken down my spirit,
Lonely now and forever.

I'm So Cold
Erin-Taylor Jan 2013
I'm So Cold
I'm sitting in a dark room
Alone by myself in a corner
Where no one is able to reach me
Where no one is able to reach my cold stone heart
You'll never see who I really am
No one will
Ever
It's just not possible for me to open up
After I've been shut tight for so long
So don't ask why I won't let you in
Wonder with your imagination
All the pain I've felt
Then you'll know just exactly why
I'm so **cold.

It will have been worth something..

Untitled
Erin-Taylor Mar 2013
Untitled
The blissful wind caresses my cheek, like a long lost lover.
The leaves crunch and crack under my heavy, drunken footfall.
    My head is clouded with a sense of high; feeling light-headed and weary.
I’m unable to think straight; thoughts of you make me dizzy.
    However, I just walk around like the dead, unable to feel anything but the numbness in my heart.
I fall in the state of depression I’m in; I feel as though I cannot go on.
    And so, I let myself drop.
Down
Down
Down
And I am lost in an ocean of forgotten souls.

Fire
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
Fire
The water is liquid fire…scorching my flesh like acid…with delight.
Numb, the pain doesn't reach me.
My skin, tingling and red show signs of burns.
Burns which will turn into scars.
So when you see me again, you'll know you're the cause of them.
Scarring my body and heart for all of eternity.
Everyone will see what you've done to me.
I played with fire and got **burnt…

Stolen Hearts?
Erin-Taylor May 2013
Stolen Hearts?
"Wouldn't it be the perfect crime,
If I stole your heart and you stole mine?"

Well no my dear, how could we do that,
When we have so little time?

If you stole my heart,
How long would it be, til you also stole my mind?

The crime you'd like to commit,
Would just cause me to unwind.

So no my dear,
It wouldn't be:

"The perfect crime,
If I stole your heart and you stole mine."

What Lies Underneath
Erin-Taylor Feb 2013
What Lies Underneath
If you'd only just stop to see what was real.
To see what was fake, to see what I feel.

I could show you where my thoughts are,
A group of painful memories, all combined into one scar.

No one knows, what lies behind my smile,
Whether it's happiness or sadness that decides to stay a while.

I haven't been diagnosed, but I swear I have a disorder,
One that prevents you from seeing beyond my hearts, guarded border.

But you wouldn't even care to look,
Because you wouldn't understand my life story in the form of a book.

All Along
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
All Along
The soreness of my heart engulfs my being,
Now that your gone, I'm finally seeing.

Who you are and what you did.
How you cowered behind and hid.

The lights are out and it's finally clear.
After all this time, after a year.

It still hurts so badly to know,
That everything we did, and all that was done was just a show.

Never again shall you do me wrong.
I wish I had known this all along.

Live on
I'm going to stay strong even though I feel as if I can't go on.
I'm going to smile like I'm not dying on the inside.
I'm going to pretend like everything is perfect when everything is falling apart at the seams.
I'm going to act fearless when actually I'm terrified.
For life must carry on, with or without me.
I can stick through it....

Call for...Help...
Erin-Taylor May 2013
Call for...Help...
Sometimes I feel like I can't get through the day...
And I often wonder why no one reaches out to help me.
But then I realize,
I feel like screaming to the top of my lungs, but nothing comes out.
I find out that that is just my imagination playing tricks.
I never called out for help at all.
And I probably never will.

Blood On This Broken Paper Heart

Blood On This Broken Paper Heart
What the **** is this feeling inside my chest?
It feels like I'm floating and most certainly blessed
To have you in my life as my one and only,
I wish you'd just come here and hold me.
I miss you so much it hurts when you're away,
So if you don't mind I'd like for you to stay.
If you break my heart, surely I'll crumble,
But even then, I'll still be there to catch you when you fumble.
I love you baby, please dont leave,
Otherwise "my paper heart will bleed"...
Well I wasnt going to write a poem, but it turned out like this. Its really bad but I just started writing haha. I guess this my attempt at a certain kind of rap, if you will. But yea, I havent posted in a while. Did you miss me?

I miss him...
I don't..
Maybe I just miss the memories...
I do..

Or, quite possibly, I miss the past when we were one and you were the sun...
Yes, I do..
I miss this part of my life so much. Going to start writing again.

The End
Erin-Taylor Dec 2012
The End
The smell of burning flesh fills the air,
All I hear are police sirens everywhere.

The world is in turmoil as we all know,
No one has anyone to turn to, no where to go.

So I just sit here on my front porch step,
Wondering what happened overnight as the world slept.

Wires are down, trees are on fire,
Everything is chaos, all is haywire.

People are running around acting so crazy,
The smog that covers the earth is now very hazy.

Life as we know it has come to an end,
It is certainly going to be hard to mend.

All luck is deceased, no four leaf clovers,
All that is and was is completely over.

Loving Him
Erin-Taylor Dec 2021
Loving Him
Tease my mind,
Save my soul.
Break my heart,
Take control.

Consume my body,
With your existence.
Take what you may,
Although I’m resistant.

Hesitate,
Hesitant,
Hesitating…sitting here,
Patiently waiting.

Will there be an explosion
Or will it be calm like an ocean…
Or just like the sea, we never know,
Whether it’ll remain still or tumultuous under the surface.
