Always looking
Gwen Johnson Jun 2014
Always looking for a place to hide
Always looking for a way to run
Always looking to someplace where I'm not

Dying (10 word)
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
Please
I need help
I'm dying
Inside
But
Not out

Mess (10 word)
Gwen Johnson Apr 2014
I wrote a mess
And I just don't get it
320 · Jul 2013
Break down
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
I guess it was only a matter of time
before I broke down
I guess I didn't expect to break down
in front of you
You've always seemed to be my light
when I was standing in the dark
You always have been easy to talk to
I just never expected to cry while standing by you

Today (10 word)
Gwen Johnson Apr 2014
Today I'm obsessed with this nothing
The restraints are comforting

Battle
Gwen Johnson Mar 2014
Well that's the thing about battles
They can't be won if they're not fought
And sure it hurts to lose them
If you've given it all you've got
So I know why you run
And why you cry
But lets show them
Lets put up a fight
313 · Jan 2013
In the silence
Gwen Johnson Jan 2013
Silence is torment
for it carries
lost hopes
and broken dreams

Numbs your mind
with words never said
and tears you've cried
and screams that
never left

Suffocating on the pain
this world always
leaves for me

I'm done with the silence
its time to make a sound
the words reach my lips
and I cry for help
but no one will hear me
because they left me by myself
312 · May 2013
You will cry
Gwen Johnson May 2013
This is life

So you will cry

Learn the truth  

Learn to lie

Selfish games

We will play

Feel the wound

Fight the pain

Find your path

Find your pain

Find your sorrows

Lose the game

Find your wound

Deepen it

There's nothing left

No one wins

Mine
Gwen Johnson Apr 2014
The idea is so nice
That there could be a me and you
A me with a you
Just the idea of you being mine
Buts a smile on my face
And happiness on my mind
305 · Jan 2014
This Place
Gwen Johnson Jan 2014
I wish I wasn't in this place
Everything's so far from grace
I wish I wasn't here
not this place
301 · Jul 2013
The only thing
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
I'm running out of things to say
I'm running out of songs to play
I guess I'll have to face it
You're the only thing coming to my mind

Another poem
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
I'm gonna write a poem
This time it wont be about you
It's harder then I thought
Write what you're feeling
Not my feelings for you
I've got this
Or not
You're not just my thoughts
You're my words too
Look I just wrote another poem
About you
299 · Feb 2013
No one
Gwen Johnson Feb 2013
I didn't mean anything
Nothing I said mattered
I could lie and say I hate you
But it would hurt me more than you
Forget it now it's done
Now no one is what you've become
299 · Jul 2013
Not sure (10 word)
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
I'm not sure
That this is who I really am
297 · Aug 2013
Some play
Gwen Johnson Aug 2013
Some play in creation
Some play in heart
Some play in moments
Some play in daydreams
Some play in happiness
While some of us are stuck in the dark
291 · Jul 2013
I like you
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
Here we go
You're part of the game
Because you didn't turn away
Your mistake
Sad nights
I lay awake
I like you
Why?
I'm not quite sure yet
It hurts
Then it doesn't
My life is the game
Now you're part of it
And you'll always be
Darling I'm sorry
You mean so much to me
283 · Aug 2013
This kind of love
Gwen Johnson Aug 2013
This kind of love hates you
This kind of love hates me
This kind of love hates us
This kind of love is hate

Screams For Help
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
Get a grip
You're losing it
The pain you feel is just a trick
The story is always really thick
There's nothing you can say except goodbye
If nothing else you're alive
Get a token
You're so broken
Pain slashing through your mind
You're breaking
You're shaking
Tears are rolling from your eyes
Silent screams for help
Coming out loud
But you've left
You're gone
And you were the only one I had left
No one to save me
Oh well it's done
I might have ended it for myself
If I hadn't fallen so hard that I'm gone

Here (15 word)
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
I'm here for you
I truly am
I wish you said
What you really meant
268 · May 2013
It would hurt
Gwen Johnson May 2013
I know it would hurt to let you go
Not for what we had
because we had nothing
That is sort of why
because I've liked you for so long
Still you can't know
and with mirrors all around me
I can see, that it's just me
264 · Jan 2013
Time go away
Gwen Johnson Jan 2013
Seconds. Minutes.
Hours. Days.
Never going  
fast enough.
Never going
slow enough.
Living just
to watch them fade.
Please go away.

Yourself
Gwen Johnson Mar 2013
I can remember
smiling and laughing
though when I'm sad
its not what i think of
even if it should be
still smile when you can
and don't make yourself suffer
you can't chose how you look
so be proud you're yourself
Gwen Johnson Jan 2013
If no one could hurt you would you still be afraid?
Would fear still rain down on you or would it not be the same?
Would you still cry and cry or would it all change?
Would you worry about someone else if you didn’t have to worry about yourself?
If no one could hurt you would the whole world change?
If there were no breaking bones or calling names...

If no one could hurt you would you still be afraid?
would you hold on to the past? or let it fade?
would emotions run wild? or would they not be the same?
would crying end? or would it stay the same?  
If no one could hurt you would it be a good change?
224 · Jul 2013
You
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
You
What is it
That makes my mind run to you?
With all of this madness
I guess it's good
To have some perfection in my head
At least thinking of you is never a waste
But it always does keep me awake
But sleep isn't that important anyway
You're like a song
Constantly playing in my head
But I can never get tired of you
Because you will always be
You

Save me (10 word)
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
You're the only one
Who can save me from myself
217 · Apr 2013
I would miss you
Gwen Johnson Apr 2013
I want to find a place

Where I can be alone

Where I don't think of you

                                                 but  

I don’t know where it is                

I would look but i can’t

It’s somewhere

                                                  I

Wonder where it is                    

How far away                                                

If  someone finds it                                                  

                                                  Would

They let me know

I wonder how long

It would take me to

                                                    miss

My life                                        

My home                                    

My everything...                          
                                                   You

Pull me up

203 · Jul 2013
Stop
Gwen Johnson Jul 2013
Sometimes I want
To get lost
Out in the sky
Pause reality for a second

— The End —
