When we were young
And the snow fell down
Is when we would play
Even if we were too old
And we'd cause a lot of mischief
Because that's what we did
And we'd laugh the night away
Within winter's embrace
And we shared our first kiss
As our hearts floated away
And said that our love
Would never fade

As we got older
And the snow rained down
Is when we would worry
If we could travel in safety
But we had bills to pay
So we'd venture out anyways
And he bought me a ring
Got down on one knee
In the beauty of the world
And asked me to be
Forever his to hold
Forever his to keep

Together we grew old
On that day
The snow fell like ashes
And the cold brought me pain
As we laid him in a coffin
On a cold December day
I knew my life would never be the same
Still, I wished for the time
When the snow was falling
And you were still mine
When we used to laugh
And we used to play
And kiss and love
And dream of our future
But now he's gone
And my future is dead
So now I'll lie frozen
Numb in my bed
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
In sadness
I smile
In sickness
I push
In trials
I wear a mask
So no one has to
Know the horrid truth

I once was bare
For all to see
There were no secrets
Hiding underneath

This is the cost
The innocence of our youth
That is why when I speak
All you hear is the truth

So full of deciet
But it's all an illusion
Don't take off the mask
That I'd molded so carefully
It's the only thing that separates me
From my true identity
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
So tired
of living
I could just
Die
So tired of waiting
For a good thing
When all I'm fed is
Lies
I will never taste
Happiness
The taste is bitter
On my tongue
So tired of neglect
Or the twisted words you said
So tired of the way you
Cry
When there's no more tears
To be shed
Nothing with you
Has ever made sense
And knowing that you
Will never repent
Makes me so tired
I could just
Sleep
Spend all of my life
Forever in my
Dreams
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
Forget me
And who I ever was

Forget the
Tears I've shed
And the blessings I'd give

Forget my existence
As I become one with the wind
Never to be seen
Rarely am I heard
But I am still here, as real as before

Forget my memory
And the baggage it brings

Forget the hardships and
All the pain unseen

Just let me waste away
Floating out to sea
Let it be the last time
You'll ever think of me
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
I'm given only one choice
To destroy
To protect
the blood on my hands marks
the only option I have left

Still my heart that is
Beating
In my chest
Beats, beats
Beats until the day
It will finally rest

I can not stop
I can't give in
Until everyone feels
All the pain they've put me in

And once I've left
My dying breath
Will shake you to the core
Just so torment
Can keep you
And claw at your empty soul

Just like mine
Once did
Before
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
One body
One mind
Two sets of hearts
Intertwined
Don't let me lose
This love of mine

Broken hearts
Shattered dreams
None of it
Means much to me
Now with you, I finally believe
This love of mine

We walk in sync
Side by side
Forever with your hand
In mine
I do believe this is for life
So don't disturb
This love of mine
Katherine Laslie Sep 2015
You look
You see
Right
Through
Me

I've let go
of hope
I have no sense of
Expectancy

Even my existence
Alone
Starts to falter
At the hands of time

A feeling
So empty
I've lost my senses
I've lost my mind

Sitting alone
In a cold dark room
Digging myself a deeper hole
Shattering my
Existence

Am I alive?
Am I real?
Not even a ghost
Could compare to how I feel

Not living
Nor the dead
You can't feel my presence
In the air

This is my never ending
Nightmare
