Insomnia
Kalyopée Jan 2019
Try to sleep
Close your eyes
So the monsters won't eat
What's left of your lies

Push away the shadows
With the torch of your dreams
Break your heart before it blows
And fire against the victims

When you sleep your brain is dead
Stop thinking
Go to bed
And everything will be better in the morning.
Hey this poem is about depression and mental illness (I have one myself) so if you need or just want to talk I am here

Icare
Kalyopée Jan 2019
You tried to touch the sun
Two wings and a loaded gun
Against a sea of monsters and a sky of ennemies
Fangs dripping of jealousy

You can fly above the emptiness
Of human's minds, but not above your sadness
You can't fly away from your fate
You only know you came too late

Run, jump, start to fly
Escape the amount of lies
Go higher and higher
Until your wings are in fire

You start to fall but you are still flying
Until they cut what's left of your wings
Splits of laugh wounding your back
You're not ready when they attack

Feathers turning around
You're breaking without a sound
Mockery, hate, guilt and lies
You broke when you were trying to rise

Rumors have crushed you
And under your dying corpse there's just blue
Your brain is cold but your heart is burning
And your blood escapes through your wings

The sea under you will be your grave
Now it's too late, you can't be saved
Blue and red, you're close to lose
The ocean is the color of a bruise

And when your bleeding back crash
The surface is black and harsh
Freezing hands are drowning you
Neon skeleton in the deep blue

Waterfall in your blooming throat
You're dying ; it's not your fault
And when your conscience escapes through your feets
You just remember the sun on your lips.
This poem is called "Icare" because it's Icarus' name in french and when you split the word in two it's "I care" and I just like this !

Salem Brains
Kalyopée Jan 2019
For fake people, fake smiles
I hide my tears behind my eyes
Sorry, my sad secrets slither
Anyway, sorrows flows like rivers

Chase my wish, burn it like it's a witch
To forget my pain, I drink it with bleach
Plaster my smile with red lipstick
A naive laugh starts with a click

Pink socks, eyes crying black mascara
Mascarade, blue kaleidoscopic art
Artistic way to show our dead brains
Brainless birds under the white rain

Crucified for fame, glowing gravestones
With an "amen" I put on my thorn crown
Freedom is hard, ignorance is simple
I'm a witch he's the devil.
Sorry, English is not my first language so it's pretty bad I'm not even sure all the words exist

Model
Kalyopée Jan 2019
"No pain, no gain"
Tears under the make-up
"Nobody cares what's in your brain,
If you are smart we'll cover it up"

Endless legs, bright smile, perfects skin
I'm breaking and I can't win
My whole body is a golden cage
I'm desperately trying to turn the page

Behind my eyelids, islands of sadness
Lights, cameras, speechless dress
My heart is as dark as my soul
It's my life but not my goal

Step after step on the catwalk I need help
Career mistake fashion model
Maybe I'm just a broken angel

Broken wings and broken dreams
Ashes of the good old days
There's just bones under my skin
Don't want to eat as always

Always wearing long dresses
Because my arms have scratches
Nation's idol, photographer's doll
But what's under the lipstick ?

One second of happiness
Three hours crying at my place
Now my appearance is everyone's else
I've just become faceless

I close my eyes, just to see the darkness
Flashes everywhere and to be honest
People love me for my appearance
People don't see my desperate dance

I'm killing myself just to get to the top
I'm an illusion, the falsity of the world
The picture behind the camera
Another fighter of the arena

No, you don't want to look like me
I'm the monster from your movie
Behind my pretty face,
There's a skull like everyone else's.
This one is pretty bad I don't really like it but it has a really personal meaning so I post it anyway

Sunflower
Kalyopée Jan 2019
I am following you, my sun
Head and heart towards you
I wouldn't run away
You are everywhere, my sun
Made by you, for you, I am yours
I live for you like I always will
You are making me grow, my sun
But you don't care about me
My heart is behind my petals
Take it, I don't need it, my sun
I need you but you don't need me
And you are so far away
I'm a sunflower and you are the sun
I'm yours but you're not mine
I hate you
My sun.
Kalyopée Feb 2019
I could be overused like a cigarette kiss
Just to see another time this smile on your lips
Bare foot tip-toeing inside my brain
Soft hands just trying to ease the pain
I want your peppermint laugh to fall on my scars
And this frozen tear near your eye shine like a star
I want to recognize your voice in the corner of my eyes
And choke myself with your cinnamon lies
Maybe I can rent a place inside your love
And wait until there is nothing above
Curled up inside your mind
A place where I won't be found
Maybe you'll see my smile in your dreams
And it your nightmares my body will scream.
Just started cutting again
Kalyopée Feb 2019
Something is wrong in my brain
I don't know what I can't change it
Is it wrong I just want pain ?
My mind is broken take it, change it

My arms are covered of thin white lines
Can't change it, I just have it
And my head is exploding with rhymes, fine
Can't write it, I just love it

Tears make my makeup drown
Re make it, I just want it
Tear my clothes down
You can have it, I don't want it

Déjà-vu
Kalyopée Feb 2019
Rappelles toi quand allongés sur le sable mort
L'eau acide submergeait lentement nos deux corps
Et a chaque brisement bruyant de lames
Les vagues emportaient un peu de notre âme
Souviens toi de la lumière rouge du cris des oiseaux
Et de nos vêtements humains collés à notre peau
Chaque ressac guidait ma conscience vers mes pieds
Nus, par lesquels elle pouvait gentiment s'échapper,
Rejoindre celle des marins, des pêcheurs, des soldats
Fixant aveuglément le libre et mouvant toit
Noyés aux poumons fleuris de créatures étranges
Dont les yeux vides et aimants patiemment nous démangent
Et laissent un vieux cœur battre dans la rouge écume
Sortant de ma poitrine, traversant la brume
Pour trouver son étoile, sans âme également
Car la mer qui donne prends tout a ses enfants.
Kalyopée Feb 2019
Brainless zombies hiding in pairs
Looking outside to find some air
To catch water and grass and stars
But don't you think you're gone too far ?
Drown your soul in cheap wine
Burn your thoughts with style, fine
Scared to live alone, you could almost cry
But how do you think you will die ?
And nothing will make your soul come back
So you need to fight, to hurt and to attack
You need preys to hunt and flesh to bruise
You can't admit that you are going to lose
Endless screams to the blind sky
Tonight you are going to fly.

Get away
Kalyopée Feb 2019
Hello baby it's me again
Endless mountains in your brain
Anchor in your peaceful pain
Detail in your great gain
A passion stained of rain
Clouds of desire and blame
Hold tight my blue hand
End your life with a razor blade.

Not a poem
Kalyopée Jan 2019
This is not a poem, just a random thought about poetry. For me, my poems are like some precious butterflies that I want to keep alive, to watch them move and burn their wings to the fire. And when I decide to show them to someone, it means that I trust you and I know you won't let them fly away or you won't burn them alive. But sometimes people do so, and just look at my poems without really watching them, thinking "it's another one of her strange stuff". But a part of my soul is in those poems and when people doesn't pay attention to them it's like they don't pay attention at myself, the deep and thinking me. Anyone thinks like me ? Or am I asking too much ?
Kalyopée Mar 2019
He started to kiss more his cigarettes than him
The red end shining like a beating heart
That reminded him of his bruised skin
And of the white lines painful like art

The tanned arms wrapped around him
Were now deprived of warm consistence
Sometimes he regrets what they have been
But he would do anything to **** his conscience

They day dream of killing each other
And their nightmares are filled with mourn
Skeleton bones filled with flowers
Their black blood will start to blur

And he's turning, turning
Searching for his light
He's screaming but he doesn't hear a thing
They took each other lives

He hates him so he kiss him hard
But the raging blue of their lips
Is rotting like their poisoned hearts
Like his skin his love will split

He still adores his darkened love
So much he wants to choke him to death
To see his bleeding soul cry like a dove
Raindrops would drown him as he rests

His wet and red lips mourn for his God
Permanent cries, eternal fights, try to fly
His life is filled with ruby blood
They scream for their lives and beg to die

Bottle of bubbles filled with poisons and tears
Sword of pain keened with razorblades
Exchange of cries, weapons and fears
One sip, one stab, the one loved ones died

Mephistopheles
Kalyopée Feb 2019
6 months ago I fell in love with you. I don't know why or how but I did.
I was the shinny girl with a lot of fake friends, hurt by the world but trying to survive with a lot of scars on her arms.
You were the quiet boy, with few friends, an incredible sense of humour and a strange past. You were this boy who bullied one of my best friends until her suicide attempt. Everyone was telling me that you were cruel and nobody truly loved you. But despise what every body was saying, I fell in love with you.

I fell in love with your changing eyes, sometimes green, sometimes blue, often dark.
I fell in love with your skinny face, the way your cheekbones were trying to pierce your white skin.
I fell in love with your body, the way you walk and are.
I fell in love with the way you sometimes care about me, the way you saw my scars and looked me in the eyes with concern.
I fell in love with every little things about you. You were not perfect but you were what I loved, and you are always in my brain.
And now that my heart is attached to you, I see you slipping away from me. That's sad.

Angel
Kalyopée Apr 2019
You are one of those people that should be called "angel"
But you're the devil and for you I would fail
Short hair for your hands and my skin for your lips and my laugh for your lies
My neck for your teeth and your breath full of blight and your claws for my eyes
My heart is yours and everyone elses and made of gold and soft breathes
Youre heart is dead and makes you want to beg and walk and leave
I'll touch your soul and you'll break mine because you can
And I will give you my heart and my love and my pain and you'll throw them
To the black and running dogs of your fears and desinterest
It will hurt me but you won't care and it's for the best
Because without me you are broken and without you I'm a loner
I need you to breath and you need me to live, to fly, to be closer
You will never say "I love you" because it can be a promise or some curses
And I know I will fall from the sky and burn my wings and hurt my heart for those verses
For you and your beating and bleeding and pulsing heart I will just be faithful
Because you and me and me and you we are angels.

Your eyes are open gates through deadly hells
Which are similar to your blasphemic red lips
Your voice sing the song of some morbid bells
Marbred white skin running from ribs to hips

Eyelashes like blades, ghostly butterflies
Your body slither like a venomenous snake
Perfect white teeth, guardians of your cursed lies
Like a cruel swan you cut my neck

Tell my name like you were drowning
Mix of alcohol and nicotine
Cigarette burns invades my skin
Slowly addicted to your deathly dreams
As always, English is not my first language so if I have made some mistakes, tell me !

— The End —
