Heart in a Box
Izzy Mar 2013
How dare you apprehend me
With the shackles of your love.
What right have you to blind me
With your beauty.
Who do you think you are
To steal my heart?!

You entered my life
on a summers breeze.
And in the depth of night
You stole away my heart.
In the morning when I awoke
I could not feel it's familiar beat
And I knew it was down to you.

You were gone as quickly as you arrived.
Your depature as silent
As the breeze that carried you.
Taking with you only my heart,
Still beating, and fresh.

You left me behind
Heartless
In a trench of tears.
I loved you
Silently
Instantly, and for more than a night.

I wonder where you keep my heart?
Whether it's on display,
Another trophy to show off,
Or holed away under your floor boards.

Who do you think you are
To show me happiness
And steal it from me
Within a single meet.

Take care of my heart,
Better care than you took of me
Don't leave it to bleed,
in a puddle of love
Trapped in your box
Of broken promises

Where Angels Fear to Glide
Izzy Mar 2013
I’ll hold you till the morning,
Till the rising of the sun,
Till the dawn is breaking,
And its time I was gone.

I’ll hold you forever,
And when we’re apart,
Never worry,
For I hold you in my heart.

When we are together again,
I’ll kiss you more,
I’ll whisper my words,
And we’ll be happy like before.

I know it’s a while away,
And you miss me so much,
And I wish to hold you,
I long for your touch.

It’s going to take time,
I’m not going to lie,
You have your whole life ahead,
You did not die.

Never forget me,
Though I stand not by your side,
For I am still drifting,
Where angels fear to glide.

We were happy,
And you will be again,
My life is over,
But you’re spared the pain.

I know that you miss me,
And it hurts within.
I am now finished,
But you have yet to begin.

So miss me,
And want me,
And hold me inside,
For I am left wandering, where angels fear to glide.

The Flood

Tears are like raindrops,

Enough of them can wash away a home.

Forever
Izzy Feb 2014
Hopefully,
We will be together forever,
She said.

And suddenly Forever
Didn't feel quite long enough
Anymore.

Was It Real?!
Izzy Apr 2013
Was it all created by an idle mind?
Like dreams, and hopes and all their kind.
Did my imagination really run wild?
The first time she looked at me and smiled.

Did my mind create responses, replies?
Or was there love behind her eyes?
Was there strength behind her smile?
Or was it empty all the while?

For they are taken by another love,
And I am a puppet for the powers above,
Who watch my pains with a happy face,
As the pieces of my heart fall all over the place.

So I’ll never know what lurks behind,
That smile of hers and her eyes so kind,
Did my imagination really run wild?
That first time she looked at me, and smiled.

Native
Izzy Aug 2013
I thought I had finally found you,
But you evade me still.
I want to find you,
Buried in my sheets.
I want to map you,
Discover you.
Lose myself in the endless landscape
Of your body.
I want to explore the secret scenery
of your soul.
Swim in your eyes,
Bask in the warmth of your smile.
I want to become a native of you,
Relish in the language of you
And plant my flag,
In your heart.

But more than all this

I want you to love me.

A Love Poem
Izzy Mar 2013
Hold me tight, never let go,
For without you, I feel so low.
Hold me close so I can hear you heart,
And let this love affair of ours start.

I’ll hold you tight and not let you fall,
I’ll lift you with love, so you’ll never feel small.
At night, within my arms you’ll be,
Me loving you and you loving me.

We’ll stand together, never will part,
I’ll keep you always within my heart,
And although at night my eyes are closed,
Into my dreams you are transposed.

And when one of us is here no more,
And one is alone with a heart that’s sore,
We’ll remember the times we shared together,
And love one-another forever and ever.

Alone, Together
Izzy Mar 2013
Standing on the edge of life looking in,
Watching, Waiting for something to begin,
So apart from everyone you know,
Wanting to escape with nowhere to go.

Witnessing lives with furious intent,
Longing to join in on every event,
Emotionally corrupt and not understood,
Lost and alone in a terrifying wood.

Feeling encased, enclosed and on show,
No one cares about your problems, they don’t want to know.
You try to deny it but you’re truly alone.
You’re always hiding something you don’t want known,

But people see through you,
And rumours are believed true.
Strangers judge on meeting,
A thought or glance that’s fleeting,

Decides the fate of your treatment then on,
One wrong move and your happiness is gone.
This is the basis of the aesthetic society we’re in,
If you’re not beautiful then you’re not in.

So here I am rejected and there you are beside me,
Both on the outside but never will meet,
So together we shall be alone, I’ll reach for your hand,
I know we cannot touch, just stare and stand.

We’re standing on the edge of life both looking in,
Watching, waiting for something to begin,
I’ll remain by your side, to go where ever you may go,
But I’ll be alone forever, and that you already know.

Tell me how you love me ...
Izzy Jun 2013
Tell me how you love me,
Tell me all the ways,
Tell me how many kisses we’ve had,
And on how many days?

Tell me why you chose me,
Tell me when you first took my hand,
Tell me when I first made your legs go weak,
Made you scared you couldn’t stand.

Tell me when you loved me,
Did you know it right away?
Tell me why you fancied me,
And when, what day?

Tell me when you gave me your heart,
And when you accepted mine,
Tell me all the ways you care,
Tell me are you mine?

Don't think you're in love
Izzy Aug 2013
You don't 'think' you're in love,
You know, if you have to 'think',
It's not love.

You know love as surely as you know the sky is blue,
You know it with the certainty that tomorrow will come.

You know it's love when you would walk
miles over broken glass just to see
that smile that lights her eyes.

You know you are in love,
As surely as the sun will rise,
As surely as thunder follows
the lightning.

You know it's love when your
every waking thought is muddied by her,
And the image of her
tramples your every memory.

It's love when shes near
and you can't hear over
the pounding of your heart
and you wonder why everyone can't
hear it too.

You know it's love when
you dream of simply holding
her hand as if it were just
an extension of yourself.

You know it's love when
you would gladly trade your life
for one
innocent kiss.

You know when it's love
it is written in your very bones
in your flesh
in your soul itself.

If you 'think' it's love,
it's not.
So please, I beg,
Don't say you think you love me.

Especially when I know.

After Death
Izzy Apr 2013
The inevitible certainty,
The unfathomable truth of it.
The end, the complete finallity,
We can never understand,
When it occurs it is too late.

Death. We can never know it.
But it is the one complete certainty we have.
I could be hit by a bus today,
Or fall under a train tomorrow.
Or maybe it will be decades away
In my bed surrounded by my family
And I will follow my dreams into the darkness.

When your end comes,
When you can feel the life draining from you,
When you look back on your life
Will it be a life you're proud of?
Did you live your dreams?

And what of those left behind?
What will they say of you?
Is it really death that terrifies us
The finallity, the unknown,
Or is it the regrets we may have,
The reality of the life we lived.

Deep Blue Something
Izzy Jun 2016
I can't look you in the eyes,
Because then you'll see through the lies,
And there,
In the deep blue something,
You'll find me,
Broken, bruised and ashamed
Clinging to my secret,
My love of you.

Everywhere you look the walls are falling down,
Everywhere you look lies are flying round.
Truth is hiding in the corner
Along with innocence and virtue, in the shadow of trauma

Empty Bottles
Izzy Apr 2013
Drown your feelings,
And strangle your sorrows,
For today is today,
And tomorrow’s tomorrow.

Push it further,
And further still,
I can’t take much more,
It’s making me ill.

Why am I like this?
A pathetic creature of woe,
Where can I run?
There’s nowhere left to go.

Heart
Izzy Mar 2013
You thought you had my heart
And so did I,
But it came with me
When I said goodbye.

It came faithful,
It came to heel,
It came in shock,
But soon will feel.

When it leaves me again
I'll tell them true,
It might not stay forever,
But right now it's for you.

And should it crawl back,
And hide within my chest,
And ask for forgiveness
And time to rest.

I'll pack our bags,
And get us out,
And ignore my head
With all it's doubts.

I am sorry
It went that way,
That you weren't prepared,
And I didn't stay.

I thought you owned my heart,
And so did you,
I had it all along,
Who knew?

She...
Izzy Jun 2016
She
Was the sort of woman who lit up a room,
Just by walking in.

She
Could made the world fade away
Just by looking at you.

She
Filled your soul and heart
With her words.

But when She was gone,

Time stopped,
Darkness fell,
And the emptiness resumed.

I wish She'd come back.

Home

Hold me,
Like you did before.

I will make a home of your arms,
A haven of your heart,

And discover myself
Within your Love.

Ordinary Shadows
Izzy May 2016
So many of us walk through life
Filling our days with empty actions
Just longing to be loved.

With an admirer in our shadows
Too awestruck to speak up
Too nervous to be seen.

And we too blind to see what we were looking for.
I wanted to capture how many of us see ourselves as nothing special, when to others we are the sun and moon, and just as out of reach as the stars...
Izzy Mar 2013
once in a blue moon,
someone comes along
and picks you up,
dusts you off
and shows you a strength
you didn't know you had,
a you
you didn't know you were,
a feeling
you didn't know you felt,
in a heart
you didn't know you had.

It doesn't get any easier,
knowing you loved someone before.

Or knowing that if I try too hard,
Or be too honest,
You will be gone,
And someone else will have taken my place.

It doesn't get easier knowing
You still go on without me.

I can only hope that you stick around
Long enough
to fall
for me.

Then maybe you will be done running.

The Muse
Izzy Mar 2013
There is a muse, She sings of love,
Of the moon the sun and stars above.
She sings of your eyes,
Of happier days and bluer skies.

— The End —
