i don't know you
danielle Jun 2017
i love words
and you had a way with it
besides, you're a writer
the first few months we were together
you'd bask me with your sweet voice
i was blissfully, happily intertwined
in your arrangement of sentences

but

i didn't know you were a painter too
you lose your pen
and started using your hands
you'd paint on me, your favorite canvas
fingers and knuckles as your brushes
i figured you liked red and blue
purple and black when you got creative

shouldn't have trusted you

mama and papa didn't like it when i cry
said they can't stand it
said it makes me look weak
but you liked it somehow said
"you look pretty when you cry"
followed by the anthem of your laughs
and i grew vulnerable within you
skin by skin
flesh by flesh
vessels by vessels
gave you the power to leave me dead
but you had said
"don't worry baby not in a million years"
but **** now i can't bear the sight
of how frail i look
naked and inadequate
i'm drenching my cheeks
holding the letter you gave me:
"i'm sorry i didn't mean to **** you."

to love yourself you must first believe in yourself, because how can you love something that you do not believe in? you see, look at how the worshippers praises love to the gods, look at how the scientists erupt in joy from something significantly small of the universe. that is exactly how you should treat yourself. learn to break and mend on your own for believing means front row at war.
im also still learning and am far from done

welcome home
danielle Jun 2017
when she opens her eyes
and the light starts to swallow
she finds nothing but
loud blatant screams,
so she closes her eyes
heading for the dark
where she only feels
the stillness of solitude,
and when all else turns black
she feels nothing
more
like
home.
the dark is her only friend

i am merely
an old playground
crooked swinging arm
rustic spine slide
haunted love tunnel
few visitors
come
and go

as of right now
i am lost
i am in an abyss
and i dont know if i want to be found
i dont know if i want to be saved

as of right now
i am sand
the waves keep on running through me
one second i am a fresh made castle
the next i am laying flat with water and salt
and i dont know which one i choose to be
i can't
