Somebody Left. Again
Alina Oct 2014
There's this nauseous, nagging, pit
In the middle of my gut
And oh I bet you know why
You said you'd be there
But now you've gone
And walked away
Am I overreacting or not
Because I swore it was you
You'd be the one always there
Maybe I was wrong
But now I'm sitting here
With my pajamas on
Asking for your help
And none ever comes
I'm just feeling really weird tonight and I needed help but of course I was wrong about you. And now I have no one. Unless I'm mistaken. I don't know. Just please talk to me.

dreams
Alina Oct 2014
there are dreams that you grab
and drag behind you
leash pulled tight
apparently i am supposed to believe
these will all be fullfilled
but how can i know
people tend to ignore the threatening undertones
because the majority of my dreams
are nightmares
Stealing a theme from lyrics I'm working on and turning them into a not very poetic poem

Wanted: My Sister Back
Alina Oct 2014
It wasn't all that long ago
You said you'd never leave me
I keep asking myself why
Why I believed you
Why you changed your mind
Why you lied

It wasn't that long ago
You promised you would help me
Now I am suffering alone
Suicidal thoughts, all alone
Gashes on my leg, all alone
2 am tears, all alone

It wasn't that long ago
You were the one person I trusted
Now I don't know the word
I don't know why my friends are
I don't know what to believe in
I don't know what trust really means

It wasn't that long ago
We had a deep connection
Now only shallow words are spoken
I want to know you'll be there for me
I want to feel that love again

I want my sister back.

not quite there yet
Alina Oct 2014
sharpened pencil to the paper
scratches of graphite and tears
i want melody, rhythm, and a beat
to fill the lonely night
i want to scream them out
saying
     i made this

i want lyrics that flow smoothly
reverberating in your soul
with just that one line
that everybody knows
means the world

but upon careful reflection
these words cant happen
i dont know the words that saved me
because im not quite there yet
Just words I'm trying to make come out of my head.

words.
Alina Oct 2014
why is it not to speak
these words that we think
acceptable in poetry
but heaven forbid we feel them
because a couple rhymes
and the enter key
make everything alright apparently
sorry, no.
Poetry has to do so much with the deep issues in life, things that if we talked about them in our everyday conversations, we'd be put aside and judged for, but when it is art, it is considered okay. Why?

anchor.
Alina Oct 2014
what i wouldnt give
to see you once more
to feel your arms wrapped around me
the epitome of safety

but im just here all alone
blowing away in the wind
because i dont have a you
to anchor me down
