Erin Kelly Jul 2019
You built strong, tall, burdensome walls around you
And you stay there all day in the darkness

I don’t know what you went through
But I think it shattered your heart, broke it so much, you felt you needed to enclose it, and throw away the key to your prison

Trust me, please
I would light a thousand and one candles for you
I’d lovingly take apart your cage brick by brick
I’d love you till your heart was whole again

I want you to be free

But you want to stay...
Erin Kelly Oct 2018
CRAVING
fill my empty void
With everything
With anything
Crawl out of my insatiable skin
For a moment of sweet relief
Teeth grinding, bite my nails to the bone tensing
CRAVING
suffer this want, this need
My raw, unsatisfiable
CRAVING

Don't Lovers at times
intertwine
Fingers
But you never hold my hand
Anymore...

Paper Doll
Your so fragile
Don’t be so Delicate

Maybe we should have made
You out of Cardboard

Paper Doll
Toughen Up

Why didn’t we make
You out of Leather

Be less sensitive
To the insensitive

You should have been cut
From a different cloth

Paper Doll
You shouldn’t be a
Paper Doll after all
Being a sensitive soul is both a blessing and a curse

Dig your flesh blade deep
Within
Twist & Turn
I’m desperate for the pain
Pleasure
Of your love?
Lust
Validate me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Hate me
Feeling desperate for validation lately, makes me feel horrible, just wanting to love myself
Erin Kelly Mar 2018
Beautiful water crystal, formed in the heavens
In billowy clouds, plump with expectation
A mystical wonder of intricate design
Breaks free, from her cool womb
Floating in a zig-zag pattern of delight

I tilt my head back
My tongue a resting place
Falling, snowflake
Melts away winter blues
Erin Kelly Oct 2016
I look out my frost covered window, my cozy soul;
The snow falling silently, an undiscovered world;

Peacefully;

Each snowflake, intricate as galaxies in ever expanding consciousness; nothingness;
Individual as you and I;

They only reveal some of their secrets, beauty up close;

They land preciously upon the sill with grace
Resting for a moment;

Footprints upon a beach
Dust in the wind
Time on Earth
