It's Perfect
Samm Marie May 2016
In July I will be attending a formal wedding
All my family will be there
And of course I don't want to embarrass myself now do I?
So what's a girl to do?
Oh wait,
I know a boy in class who ballrooms professionally
A boy I'm interested in
So why not ask for lessons
See where it goes
And hope to high heavens
That all goes as planned

Memories
Samm Marie May 2016
Memories are dangerous weapons that cause their users to bleed
Samm Marie Apr 2016
For better or for worse
I'm certain I'm single
He could have said bye
Or he could have pretended nothing was happening
I've been here twice before
Once with him
Once with someone I unfortunately still love
It could have involved other people
And maybe it does
But he could have said something
So I could feel closure
These tears
Oh God how they burn
I'm so ******* done with today
I didn't want to crawl out of bed
Yet here I am
I faced the world
And received this
Lucky me
Maybe,
Just maybe
This time I'll learn

I Need A Poem
Samm Marie Apr 2016
I need a poem
That will make me smile
A poem to take away the pain

I need a poem
That works instantly
Because nothing is the same

I need a poem
That breathes on my heart
And takes my breath away

I don't need a poem
Not a single one
I just need to know I am loved
Miss Bailey Lee Ann, I know what you will say already and I appreciate it. Sorry I pined after lame guys

Promises
Samm Marie Apr 2016
Promises are not
Like pie crusts
They are not
In any way
Meant to be
Broken

Promises are however,
Words to be
Taken with all
Seriousness

They are not
Something one should
Take so lightly
Like you do
Remember to not
Be a total

Breathe
Samm Marie Apr 2016
Inhale
Exhale
Deep breaths,
My darling
Inhale
Exhale
These things
Take time
Inhale
Exhale
Remember pain
Is temporary
Inhale
Exhale
One, two,
Three, four
Inhale
Exhale*
I promise
I'm still here
Samm Marie Apr 2016
A cup of life
An ounce of faith
A teaspoon of pain
A pound of love
A dash of heartbreak
A pinch of sass
A tablespoon of sarcasm

Stir together in that
Pretty little head of yours
And take a nap
Let bake for several hours
(time varies depending on
how badly you need this
pick-me-up
)
Add in three cloves
Of happiness
And enjoy

Refresh as needed
And don't forget
To smile

Cole Thomas
Samm Marie Apr 2016
C is for compassionate
O is for open-minded
L is for loving
E is for empathetic

T is for trustworthy
H is for honest
O is for open-hearted
M is for magnificent
A is for amazing
S is for serenity

Cole Thomas is a great man
Who refuses to accept the title
Of perfect
But that is exactly what I
Believe he is
Cole Thomas owns the key
To my battered heart
And I believe
He is making it whole

I Have A Question
Samm Marie Apr 2016
I have a question
I promise just one
But in order to ask it
I need you think
Of life without hope
Of hope without life
I need you to remember
The worst thing to have ever
Happened to you
And then the best
I need you to reflect on
All your broken heartedness
And on all the hearts you broke
I need you to know where
You are right now
And where you want to be
I need you to believe
That everything you want
Is attainable
And that everything that
Has happened before
Needed to happen
I need you to dream
Up every beautiful possibility
There is in the world
And not imagine
Every bad one
So my question now is this:
Is throwing away
Your life to that blade,
That noose,
That bottle,
Really worth it?
Because I believe it
Isn't

Extended Hand
Samm Marie Apr 2016
Here,
Have my hand to hold
I will help you up
When you fall to pieces
I will celebrate with you
When you feel great joy
I will hold you
When you cry
I will battle each of your fights
Life is a roller coaster
And I am here for you
No matter what
Because if I weren't
Could you call me friend?

Heartbeats
Samm Marie Apr 2016
thump
thump
thump
My head on your chest
Your hand on my breast
A soft hum and stir
Vibrating in my ears
Rising from an internal cavity
A gentle up and down
Motion of your stomach
Reminds me you're asleep
Which reminds me,
I wanted to tell you something:
I love the way you can always
ALWAYS
Find something worth laughing about
I love the way your voice itself
Is poetry
I love the way you get stressed out
But still make time to
Listen to my woes
I love the way you tell me
Everything will be okay
Everything will be right
I love the way you remind me
We'll see each other soon
I love the way you refuse to see
Any of my negative qualities
And even if you do you see the
Silver lining
I love the way you swing your racket
And how your cheeks puff up
When concentrated
I love the way your blue eyes
Are so full of hope
And wonder
I love the way you say my name
When you tell me goodnight
Goodmorning
And that you love me
I love the little spirals you
Get yourself into
Because I know you trust me
Speaking of which
I love the way you trust me
Like a child trusts their parents
I love the way you talk about getting married
I even love the way your pants
Get just a *little
too tight sometimes
But to sum up everything
Into one small, impactful sentence:
I love you
That's what I think
As I hear your heartbeat
Can I know how you feel, too?

Question your sanity

Fragility (10W)

Hold my hand for my heart is far too fragile

Let Me Wish On My Stars
Samm Marie Apr 2016
And I'll let you wish on yours
Allow me to be weak
Because sometimes I need it
On occasion I need
To be held
To be comforted
To be alone
All this time I have let you be weak
I have forced strength
Upon myself
Which has inflicted stress
And pain
And time for self-hate
Let me have dreams of my own
So I don't have to be
The person you've dreamt up
Conjured from the *******
Face you forced me to give
For once let me be me
Let me be weak
Let me wish on my stars
I'll let you wish on yours

Braids and Tooth Gaps
Samm Marie Apr 2016
A swingset out in the backyard reminds me
Of years from long ago
It's been over a decade since I've walked those paths
Today I decided to go back on the paths
And I sat in the overgrowth
And allowed myself some tears
I want to go back to the days from long ago
Full of braids and tooth gaps
Free of cares and stress
Back to when my parents were together
Back to when the scariest thing
Was tripping on the sidewalk
Or maybe the clowns
I miss holding hands with both my parents
I miss dancing about freely
Where did the days
Of hope and make believe disappear to
Where is my tooth gap
Where are my braids

When I Return
Samm Marie Apr 2016
I've gone off to find myself
I don't know how long I'll be gone
I need a little space
For my head feels like it's burning

When I return
I hope you will have found yourself
And we can talk of our adventures
That the world threw our way

I'm off to rediscover
A portion of my heart
That I forget how to share
And keep it for myself as well

But when I return
Please welcome me with open arms
Because for you I never
Closed my heart

Nine Nights
Samm Marie Apr 2016
On the first night
I thought I was fine
I thought everything would
Return to normal in the morning
That everything would've been a nightmare
One the second night
I realized my mistake
But I continued to believe in hope
I still held a shard of light and childlike
Belief
On the third night
I fell away from my hopeful disgust
I dreamed of pain but when
I pinched myself I found I was already
Awake
On the fourth night
My heart finally broke
I rushed myself to the ER
My gas pedal glued to the floor
It's a miracle I made it in one piece
On the fifth night
The doctors told me nothing was wrong
I screamed and begged and pleaded
But they wouldn't give me anything to help
They didn't understand 10 out of 10 pain
On the sixth night
I tossed and turned
I refused to sleep
Out of fear my heart might come back
And then leave again
On the seventh night
I remembered my hypochondriac way of life
I held my pillow where my heart used to lie
Each time I sighed or cried I felt some relief
Some faded pain
On the eighth night
I slept without interruptions
I managed to hold everything in
And I didn't  scream in horror
When I awoke in a puddle of tears
On the ninth night
I knew I was fine
I knew everything would not return to normal
But it would become better
On the ninth night
I remembered what
Happy was

Candles
Samm Marie Apr 2016
Flicker to the left
Flicker to the right
Towards me
Away from me
Burn burn burn
The wax drips
Down
    Down
           Down
A secret is whispered
A lie is told
A word cuts a soul
A sentence builds it up
An unknowable pain
Eases into a heart
As his lips brush her ear
And she leans away
Broken inside
Yet sewn together
Haphazardly
His heart shatters as
He watches her walk away
Full of nothingness
And the flickering finally dies

For A Shattered Soul
Samm Marie Mar 2016
For the beautiful yet broken soul
I am here to inform you
That though you feel it, you are not alone
I understand my words bring little
To no comfort or solace

For the shattered hear void of hope
I need you to know
My heart was the same
But I relinquished my fear of love
And was overwhelmed by infinite dreams

For the child in us all
I want to explain
That the fear you harbor
Is an unhealthy addiction
Flee from the hatred and hold your head high

Dear, for the other you that you hide
I beg you to take
My hand and fly away to the sun
Steal back your aspirations and lay down the gun
For you'll always have my hand to hold
Even when we are weary and old

Harbors and Anchors
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I am surrounded by an ocean of fear
Fear of pain and fear of regret
Fear of love and fear of reject
Fear of losing everything
Fear of losing nothing
A blanket of insecurity is clenched in my fist
Insecurities of self-sufficiency
Insecurities of self-destruct
Of deserving a better fate
Of being far too **** late
I live in a harbor of fear
And am anchored by insecurities
Mar 2016 · 394
Stop
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Stop giving a **** about those who want you gone
It is beyond obvious that they are poison
Trying to dance upon your scarred tongue
Stop crying over spilled milk and **** you could not control
Why the hell are you regretting
Those unhealthy memories that don't make up your soul
Stop thinking about that scared little *****
The once small frightened child you once were
Because that is no longer you, not one bit

Add A Poem
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Add a poem to my heart
Something that will leave me
Different,
Maybe better,
Than I had been before
Add a poem to my mind
Something that will make me
Dream and strive
To not ruin my life
Add a poem that will
Add to my soul
My being
My way of living
****** add a poem
That has some meaning

Believe Me?
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Would you believe me
If I lied to protect you?
Could you trust me
If I hurt you to save you?
Would you believe me
If my words sounded
More acceptable than my actions?
Could you trust me
If I broke my promise to better myself?

Do you love me
Despite my fragmented soul?
Do you want me
In spite of my past?
Do you love me
Through all of my obsessions?
Do you want me
Even with my trepidation?

I would believe you
If you lied and said you love me
I could trust you
Even if you hurt me
I love you
Flaws included
I want you
In your beautiful brokenness

For Gramsy
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Your antique spoons will stain my wrists
You Riveting Rosie I so greatly adore
Wherever you are I pray you are whole
I was there at the end
You don't remember me
Hell, Gramsy, you call me Mandy
I miss and it hurts
Oh God how it still hurts
But for the time we shared
I am so grateful
You are my inspiration
To guide others
Others just like you
To their final resting place
Three generations later
And this is my ode to you

Someone I'm Trying to Find
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I scare myself
I laugh at the silence
I cry myself to sleep
I scream at nothing
I cut so deep
I dance when in pain
I prefer the rain
I believe happiness is fake
I don't really like cake
I prefer life to be sour
I can't be optimistic
I love expecting the worst
I think I enjoy being hurt
I have so many secrets
I sometimes give them to the world
I hate this game
I'm not me
I act like someone else
I'm only me around him
I should move on
I hate being in love
I refuse to end charades
I will write my life away
25 May 2014 (eighth grade year) My how I have grown up. I am such a proudly different person than I was back then. That wasn't love; it was infatuation. That wasn't masochism; that was abuse. That wasn't real. How do I not remember that little girl of 14

Wishing A Wish
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I'm wishing a wish
That will never be granted
I'm living a life
That has no point to it
I'm loving a love
That is unreachable
I'm failing a fail
That is wrecking me
I'm reading a read
That allows me escape
I'm lying a lie
That has become an axiom
I'm scripting a manuscript
That will never be published
I'm wishing a wish
That will never be granted

16 or Damn Near It
Samm Marie Mar 2016
It is 9:04 PM and I'm counting down the minutes
In a third of the country, I'm 16 years old now
How did I get here so quickly?
When did I grow up?
I must have missed it
It's gone by too fast
******! I want my life back
I'm 16 now but I'm still a child
I'm so glad that I have yet to give
Even something so simple as a kiss
I'm a child at heart and a child at mind
My heart has been hurt so many times before
It's a miracle I'm not 100
I'm 16 or **** near it
And this year
2016
Is my year
And **** if I am not
Going to live it to the fullest
Happy Birthday to all y'all March 21st-ers

Undeniable
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Pressed lips
Gripped fists
Balled up cloth
Pooled on your shoulders

Red face
White knuckles
Clear tears
Across your chest

Silent whispers
Quiet secrets
Loud declarations
Promises in my ear

Seconds of hope
Minutes of desire
Hours of dreams
A forever long love uttered between us

Happiness
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Happiness is the gentle breeze that kisses my neck
It is the sound of a new born crying
It is the sight of an amputee's first steps
It is a child's first day of school
It is finding yourself when you didn't know how lost you had been
It is a whispered secret from your best friend
It's the sensation of a first love
It's finding forever in that someone's eyes
It's your dad coming home from war unharmed
It's news that the cancer is no more
It's that acceptance letter you get in the mail
It's a sense of family
It's self respect
It is the feeling that creates bubbles and warm fuzzies

Story Book Life
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I am an untold story
An abandoned book
Perhaps someone will pick me up
Read me without fail
Wear out the pages and dog ear the corners
Highlight their favorite lines
Maybe they'll write comments in the margins
And love me anyways
I might become their favorite tale to read
With newly written chapters just for them

Petals
Samm Marie Mar 2016
One
Two
Three
Loosed
Snap
Fall
The petals grow only to break away
Flower petals are like children
You watch them bloom
You view the growth
You tend to them with heart and soul
They shy away
You cry when they fall to the earth
And eventually
You watch them leave

The Night Guard
Samm Marie Mar 2016
A garden full of sweat and tears
The weeds have choked what once was mine
  Each blossom that manages to escape the dark
   Have learned to make a difference

A graveyard filled with rotten years
Enveloped by forgotten memories
  The night guard keeps watch on the nothingness
   On the heavy and solemn eternal embraces

An abandoned swing hangs from the oak
That sits in the backyard filled with heartbreak
  Everyone as left and the windows are lacking light
   Even the moon cannot break the shield of ivy vines

Through that small window in the top left hand corner
A shard of hope still lingers with the perfume of life empty
  One eye is all it takes to glance out and see the landscape
   Not a single soul remembers the occurrences in that house

The night guard makes his way as dawn breaks
He's weary from watching over those awful tombs
  Up the paths, through the garden, to the front door
   A stench floods his nose, but that stench is long gone

It is only a memory of a promise he could not keep
Up to the top left hand corner window
  Well, Mr. Gravedigger, bury me soon,
    He smiled at the bottle he should have put down

But that was why his beloved family
Rest in the ground behind his house and his garden
  The teddy bear in his dead daughter's crib
   Reminds him of all the **** that he once did

He screams at the bottle as if it's somehow its fault
That the night guard could not watch over his life
  He opens a cabinet and places the barrel
   Pressed to his head, then pulls the trigger, but he isn't dead

What cruelty is this? I want my wife back!
The night guard lay bleeding on his sweet daughter's carpet
  The sirens started wailing as the sun peeked through
   And poor Mr. Night Guard descended to Hell
Well this is decidedly ******...

Good Night
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Goodnight to the sky that has held me all day
Pressed its gentle winds upon my fragile soul
And carried me across the battle field

Goodnight to the never ending war
That sits inside my head
And atop my heart

Goodnight to the world that has rejected me
So many times before yet is also
Beginning to love me once more

Goodnight to the people who struggle like me
Who know what it is like to conduct an uncivil war
Like a great masterpiece or some sort of symphony

Goodnight to everyone who is broken inside
To everyone I know will someday die
A peaceful sleep might await you

Or an insomniac night of restlessness
Useless fighting
But to every soul,

Goodnight
Mar 2016 · 197
Someday
Samm Marie Mar 2016
At some unknown point in time
I will be whole again
I will gather my ****
And I will stop fighting for
Something that does not
Nor ever will
Exist
Eventually I will be okay
But for the time being
That someday is
Not today

Live Life Artistically
Samm Marie Mar 2016
As if there is no one in this world
Who can stop you
Live without regret

Could have been
Should have been
It's all in the past

Hold your heart tight
Do not
Fear the unknown world

A life worth living for
Is certainly a life
Worth dying for

You only have one shot
You only have one life
So tell me,

What are you waiting for?
Why are you hiding
Your gloriously bright star?

Do not hold back
I repeat
Do not hold back

This life we live
Is far too **** short
For something petty like that
Mar 2016 · 342
Moving Forward
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Is not as hard as I thought it might be
The days go by even faster
I don't think anymore
I ******* know
I am a masterpiece
And no one will define my worth
Try as they might
I will shut it down
Because I am so worth it
I am worth more
Than anyone will ever tell me
Forgive my brief dash
Of egotistical mind
But I have tried so hard
To please everyone
But me
It
Is
My
Turn
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Kinda works for me
I feel better about myself
Actually
It's so weird
I feel good enough to do anything
I really appreciate
The art of being single
I have more self respect
Since he broke it off
I don't have to live
For two people now
I only must
Please myself

A Soft Glowing Light
Samm Marie Mar 2016
A soft glowing light
Oh how it did shine
Right on my bed
On such a dark night

A soft glowing light
Provided such peace
A sense of serenity
A shard of some clarity

A soft glowing light
Did save my life
Through its blossoming hope
And spiraling show

A soft glowing light
So subtle yet bright
Sliced a hole in my heart
And has become my grace

A soft glowing light
In the middle of the night
Saved my life
That soft glowing light

Talking with God
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Me: Why do you allow such suffering
Why do you not love me
My shattered soul,
I'm told,
Is never too broken

God: Never too broken
Never too sinful
How can you believe
I do not love you
Remember ,
You're the one who has left

Me: I didn't leave you
You let me fall
You dropped me
Onto the corner of a street
Like I'm some
Cheap *******

God: My child
You aren't listening
I love you
It breaks my heart
That you feel broken
Why don't you believe me
I love you
I love you

Me: You're lying
You're lying
I'm broken inside
How can you love
Something so
**** destroyed

God: I gave up my
One and only
Son
I love you
And I will not
Ever ever
Let you go
I won't give up
On you
My precious child

Alone
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I have a tendency
To sit around
Staring
Mesmerized
By the nothingness
That is projected
At me
In my empty
Soulless
Stare
I hear the echoes
Haunting me from the past
A nightmare
Sitting in the corner
Patiently awaiting
My folly
The cobwebs
They gather like false friends
My heartbeat is so
Genuinely silent
Until I beg to not have one
That is when
It screams the loudest
A sinful laughter
At the expense of
My broken
Shattered
Memory
Mar 2016 · 201
No
Samm Marie Mar 2016
No
I have come to learn
About pain
And its
Necessity in my
Dreary life

But what
The hell is that
Shining through my rain
A light of hope
A piece of life
That I was denyed

I refuse to conform
To my growing depression
A clinic can help me not
I am not a ******* child
I will make the decision
To live life to the fullest

I'm so **** exhausted
Of experiencing hatred
When did our hearts become
So **** jaded
No I refuse to
Love those who
Are capable
And still refuse
To return the favor

Red Tulip Sensation
Samm Marie Mar 2016
Darling, you are my slice of heaven
In this crazy world
Josh Turner had it right
Angels fall sometimes
Little did he know
That you would drop
Into my life
A blessing out of disguise
A feeling of security
You, my dear, are my inspiration
You, without fail,
Catch me whenever I fall
A burden you most certainly are not
Everyone tells
I need to drop you
They just don't comprehend
How dear I hold you
Right ow the waters are rough
But I refuse to
Leave without fighting
I, with complete honesty,
Believe the Lord placed
Your soul -
your sweet, compassionate, selfless soul -
Into my life to heal mine
- My damaged, cruel, selfish heart -
You, my beloved,
Are living, loving proof
That angels fall sometimes
If I said you haven't changed me
I'd be liar
To you
Me
And everyone
You have loved me
Despite the obvious fact
I'm no saint
For the past
Four-hundred-ninety-five days
I have feared you would leave me
Because though angels fall sometimes
They can only wear blinders
For so long
I know how obnoxious I can be
I realize I am selfish
It scares me even more
That after over
Seven-hundred-five-thousand-six-hundred
Moments
My worst nightmare is coming to life
I'm standing on the platform
Kicking, screaming, crying
As I watch you ascend to oblivion
Why didn't I tell you how I feel sooner?
Is now too late?
Because if not, here I go:
You are the sun to my moon
I reflect the light you shine
You are the breath I breathe
My hero,
My role model
My inspiration
To better myself
You are Joker to my Harley
I know I can drive you crazy
That much is obvious
But you're my better half
Oh Dear, you are the
Dream I thrive on
But enough metaphors
Because those could be meaningless
Allow me to express how I feel:
My sweetheart, I need you
I love you like Ariel loves Eric
Except that my love runs so much deeper
Deeper than the Mariana's  Trench
I know I don't often exhibit it
But you complete me
I don't know how to say it
Without risking sounding selfish
-Then again we both know my high levels of conceit-
I need you like I need oxygen
******, I love you
I am not strong
No matter what you say
If I were
I would be able to move on and forget
I know that I will never
Experience such a
Red tulip sensation
Ever again
I don't want this to be the end
I'm sorry I haven't been what you need
As of late
But please
Let's just start over
It could go something like this,
"Hi"
"Hi"
And so forth
Rekindling the flame we started
Those
Four-hundred-ninety-five
Days ago
So,
"Hi"

Playing with the Devil
Samm Marie Mar 2016
I walk a fine line
Between risk and safety
I stumble blindly
Not knowing my own hand
Each second that passes
The blindfold only tightens
I hear a voice
Made of flame
-Oh that seductive flame-
Lead me through
The troublesome night
My heart it screams
"This isn't the way!"
My head it sings
"Please continue to play!"
Discordant noises echo
Off the walls of my mouth
But in the end
My tongue slips
And everything goes south

The fine line I walk is blurring
I can't see it
Not even a sliver
How am I to know what
I'm doing is wrong
I was just listening
To the sweet devil's song

Holding On to Nothing
Samm Marie Feb 2016
Why do I grasp at the life I cannot have?
I am forbidden from experiencing the love I so crave
The love that I gave
The love I once received

The past always comes back to haunt me
I only see ghosts of what once was
Each breath I take,
He is there in the wind
There in the rain
The sun
Here

Each second that passes I seem to be letting go
Of the reality I live in
I comfort myself with false fantasies
Of love and peace
Of my heart being whole

Edgar, my good sir, I have an answer
Yes, you can grasp them with a tighter clasp
You can save someone from their pitiless wave
But I've learned that no matter how much you hold on
You only have the memories to save
Because others do not truly care

Mr. Poe, Mr. Poe,
What of myself?
How can I save my own soul from this
Labyrinth of suffering
When I choose to hold on to
Seemingly nothing?
