O christmas tree
Delilah Dec 2015
I lay on the couch and look at the tree
the tree that held so much love and happiness
the tree that now is just a tree

The Family Photo
Delilah Nov 2015
I wanted that picture so **** bad because in the 16 years we were all together we didn't take one
I wanted to hang it on my wall but a year later I want to burn it
I want to burn it and forget that we as a family ever happened
I want to pretend that my life is a soap opera and I'm not the main star
I wish things would fall into place
that my life would suddenly go back to 2014 and not change
but then I realize I would still be wishing for a change
and I hate that
I always wished it would happen and I thought I would be happier
but I just realized that I hated living sometimes
Every emotion just came at me all at once and 11 months later I'm sorting and deciding which one I have to deal with next
The day it happened I cried for about an hour and then the next three months I felt nothing then I was overwhelmed and scared and now I feel sad and lonely and a tad bit ****** at everyone all the time and some for absolutely no reason but the fact that they get an outside view and don't have be the person in the middle

You have left a handprint on my heart
not in vain but in love
when you went you took something and left another
you took what I didn't want anymore and left something amazing
you left the love for myself
you were like a vacuum cleaning the dust from my soul that made me forget me
you opened me but I did not open with you but after you
you helped me find myself and not to be scared  
but sometimes I wish you were here to see it bloom
the night that was ours is coming and I still think of you every year
the night that my cheeks hurt from smiling
the night I went without a worry
the night that happened so quickly
the night I fell in love
I love that word but hate it all in the same
because my love never last long outside but inside it last forever

Person
Delilah Sep 2015
You're the reason I started writing in the 3rd grade
You're the reason for my late nights
You're the reason I want to punch you in the jaw
I thought you would learn but you never did
Remember when you said if I ever need anything come to you
That's hard when you're in prison
I want you to be there at graduation but I know you won't be out
I hate you for this but I'm glad you're not dead
Love you person

My heart
Delilah Aug 2015
My Heart is a big mess of love that never knows when to love but only to hate the things it comes to love
That's all its ever known but wants to know more
It wants to love like you but doesn't want to be hurt because it has been before
It talks to my brain and tells it to think about loving you but the brain knows that it will end badly
My Brain remembers all but my heart is like a blind dog trying to find its owner
My heart builds itself a wall to block the sad and broke parts of it and rebuilds itself to be happy again but the brain knows what its doing and warns it to stop
But my heart never listens
It just wants to love and to be loved

For my future lover
Delilah Aug 2015
I wanna lay in bed on sunday morning with you
I wanna wake up to the sound of you laughing at the dream you just woke up from
i wanna eat cereal  in my underwear with you
I wanna come back home and show the small minded world that I once lived in, the big bright beautiful world that you are
I wanna make love to you in the back of your moms broken down mini van
I wanna lay under the stars with you and think of our future kids
I wanna fly to mexico, get drunk, and fall in love with you all again
and I just wanna love you

Prison letters and Dreams
Delilah Aug 2015
Prison letter and dreams are the only thing that we have to stay connected in this world
You wrote me and said you have found god and he put you on this right path and alls I can think about is where is god
I keep thinking about the day your set free
The day when I come home from college to see you again
The day when you meet you eleven, five, and two year olds
The day we get to watch a cardinals game together and make mexican food and agree to disagree about everything except the people who are up to no good
Yesterday I dreamt we were in Aunt Amy’s kitchen and you were free and I wanted to hug you but you said it's not time and that's true
You and me sitting at Aunt Amy’s kitchen table it isn't time for that
I wonder what you look like I REALLY DO
'I wonder if we will be the same when you get out
I wonder where i'm going to be when you get out
I often wonder if I’ll ever stop missing you
and I still wonder what three years really feels like because so much happened in three months
I find myself looking at the happy time instead if all the bad
Like the time when I was five and you and Brit took me to the zoo
When told me I could do anything I set my mind to and not to  listen to the negative people because they will never amount to anything close to what I will amount to
When we went with dad to that baseball game in september high sets but it was the best
I want you to know I love you and sometimes the world is an unfair place but in dreams and letter we are set free

— The End —
