Always alone
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
I want to love you
But I can't
Your my best friend
And though we call ourselves
Boyfriend, and Girlfriend
I don't feel it
I love you
But I'm not in love with you
It was out of angry emotion
I acted rash
I should've known
I'd be the one to crash
But when I see her
My heart beats
Inside I feel complete
Yet she's out of my reach
And I've pledged myself to you both
But it's time I say goodbye
I don't know why
But I can't be in love with you
And I cry
Because I try
Because I feel so wrong
Like a bad ending to a song
I don't know how to say goodbye
I don't know how to give up
I've been a failure all my life
But this seems to leave me torn
My depression leaves me worn
I haven't slept in three days
I've been thinking
Of you
And how I wish you'd leave
It's easier that way
If you don't stay
I should be alone
Like always
Always alone

Scream
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2013
The music drips in my veins
As I carelessly drift away
Dance with me
The move of our hips
To the beat
Hands razed
Body grazed
The power in each word
The power to be heard
Overcoming every fear
A prayer for every tear
Colliding and flying
All around
The ground shaking
The earth so angrily quaking
Oh misery
Let go of me
Screaming just to feel
Screaming until my throat hurts
Because it reminds me
The rush is so real

War
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2014
War
War is the savage sea roaring in my veins
Calling to the animal lurking inside
It's twisted, and breaks a person down bare to their instincts
It beats past flesh, rips past pride, soars past your thoughts, tears your mind from inside
It dances on your feelings, slits the throat of your heart and feast on your bones tell all that is left is action.
War creates a robot inhabiting flesh
Kills your mind, before you can look deep down inside
For all you'll find
Is death

Sad, and can't sleep
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
So tired
But I cannot sleep
So angry
These thoughts won't leave
Curled up tight with
Myself
There is nothing
And no one else
Believe that maybe
I'll be alright
If I close my eyes and try to fight
These pestering tears
That just won't stop

A Ghost is A Wish
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2018
I wish you guys loved me enough to be here for me.
I'm sorry that I'm not enough for you. I'm sorry I'm not the daughter you wanted.
I'm sorry that I'm not worth a family. I'm sorry that I'm useless and worthless.
I'm sorry that I cant make you guys happy.
I want nothing more than to go back in time and live forever in the moments where I felt like we were all a family.
Because now the only thing i want to do is disappear and stop existing so I dont have to feel so alone.
I want to stop pretending that I'm ok, I want to stop pretending that I dont feel empty and dead on the inside.
I want to stop pretending like I dont feel abandoned and left in the dust.
I want to stop loving you guys because it only tears me into pieces everytime I try and I'm left with nothing but stifiling anxiety that I no longer matter to you guys.
I dont know you guys anymore. And no one cares. That's the part the really kills me. That I sit here and cry until my head feels like exploding because everyone leaves me.
Everyone replaces me. I'm always number 2 and I just want to feel normal. But I cant. Because these ghost haunt me.
In my dreams, in my life, in my love, in my hate.
These ghost have taken every inch of me.
Suffocating me.
Frozen fingers splayed across my neck, they choke me.
Until I cant speak.
Until I'm silenced by the viciousness of which it steals my light.
It brings me to the other side and pulls my hair, punches me, stabs me.
Until I bleed.
But only for a minute and then I wake up, drenched in sweat.
Promising myself that I will never feel again.
I wish so intensely that my bones quiver.
I wish so much that my luck is gone. Just wishing that I could be apart of you again.
That I could come from somewhere. But I was born alone.
Born to ghost that dance at night. Unseen but heard as chilling noises in the night.
Untouched but felt as cold breath across your back.
I was born to ghosts and secrets that cage me.
A ghost is a wish.
And I wish I could exist.

Autumn's Pain
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2014
The rain beats against the blemished glass of my window
Leaves lay brown and crumpled on the ground
A frozen memory of a yesterday's sorrow
Tell me, what is that terrifying sound?

The one that repeats inside of this tormented head
The one that pounds and screams to be let out
The one that tucks me in inside my bed
It fills my soul, my heart. my bones, my doubt.

I feel it aching like age in these worn out muscles
I feel it weighing my shoulders down
I feel it like flames of some vengeance seeking fire
I feel it as I watch Autumn make it's rounds

This seasonal pain is breaking my heart
I'm like Fall as I fall apart
320 · Sep 2012
I'll miss you
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
I'm scared to have to let you go,
I don't know where you'll go,
And even as the tears sting my eyes,
I know I'm being selfish by holding you here,
I can see the pain in your eyes,
I know that it's gods time
To have you,
Just don't forget me,
I won't forget you,
To my aunt Linda hopefully I will see you again someday

Empty hole
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
I've been thinking of you
I've been missing you
And though my mind is ready to forgive
And forget
My heart can't seem to stop remembering
You broke me
Crumbled me
I hated you for it
I hurt for it
But I have this empty hole
That I just need to fill
Before it swallows me too

New Years
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
A new year ready to stretch it's wings
As the earth grows a year older
And the frosty winds will sing
And the sun in it's beauty will smolder

People will make new year resolutions
And some will be met
It's like a key a solution
To there hopes that haven't been granted yet

They'll set aside their problems
And make a list of new ones
They'll think of how to solve them
To realize it will never be done

The darkness might just hang over our heads
As we pray to gods to forgive our sins
We'll sit awake in our warm beds
And our patience will wear thin

But we'll cheer happy new year
Though we all feel weighed down
And we'll forget about our fears
And quietly drown

Can you see?
Katlyn Orthman May 2013
You look at me but do you really see?
Can you see the pain?
Or the shame?
The scars?
Do they define me?
Maybe it's better I didn't know
Maybe...

Imagine That
Katlyn Orthman May 2013
When your friends are falling apart
And you own a broken heart
Your eyes fill with tears every time it's dark
And the pain inside hurts
You overflow with this need to fade
And you wish you could trade
Your life for the perfect ones on tv
And your dying inside but no one can see
You split your skin again, people won't understand
And you hate yourself for the scars left on your wrist below your hand
But in the dark there looks like only one road to go
And if there's another you just didn't know
And the rain is falling harder than it was before
The thunders so loud it shakes the door
We can't be perfect I'm nowhere near
But maybe if I pray loud enough god will hear
Maybe if I ask for him to just hold me
Like I need to be
These feelings and thoughts will subside
And I can fix myself inside
Imagine that wouldn't it be nice?
But something so easy always has a price

What's another tear?
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
What's another tear
Shedding my pain and fear
What's another sigh
My heart learning to die

What's another crack
Just add another shard to the stack
My nearly broken heart
Simply falling apart

What's another road
Follow as I'm told
What's another stain
Just signifys my pain

What's another scar
Just shows who you are
What's another day
Where you refuses to stay

What's another fight
Just like every night
What's another tear
Shedding my pain and fear

Harsh and bitter diatribe
Broken deep alone inside
A sad story to call our own
Hiding in this lonesome home
Crying when no ones around
Waiting but im never found
In my eyes my pain is clear
Screaming loud but no one hears
Help me I am falling fast
In the present and in the past
But no one has time to see
My growing flaming agony

Fresh on my mind
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
Sleep evading me again
Close my eyes
And his face is there
It's been years...
And the memories are faded
Like an old picture
I try drowning it with music
But it's there
The pain almost feels fresh
Like the smell of close death
And the feel of broken skin
The sound of sirens
And the shrieks ....
It's still so painful to speak
To hard to write down
In my sorrow I drown
My fingers are shaking right now
I saw him in my dreams last night
I remember his eyes
They scared me the most
Sometimes I'll cry ...
Cry myself to sleep
Because sometimes tears are easier
Than to speak
Because tears will shout
Shout it all out
And make me feel clean
It's a weight lifted off my chest
So I can get rest
But tonight it's trapped me here
In this room of crawling terrors
I feel like I have to scream
But it's stuck in my throat
I feel claustrophobic, like its got me
I really just need to sleep...

The path
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
It started when I took my first step
On the freshly paved path
It started out so smooth
So easy I could glide
Until the sun set
And I met the monsters hiding in the shadows
They broke me
Beat me
Killed me
And I drew a ragged breath
Dragging myself up
I thought maybe I'd been mistaken
But no
This path I've been walking
Is full of cracks and holes
Always tripping me
Always leaving me out of breath
Tricking me to go left
Instead of right
A mirage on the end of the path, and then I realize it never ends...
And that I'll just keep tripping
Today I'm stepping onto untamed grass
And choosing my own way
307 · Dec 2012
This time It's different
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
If you hate me just say it
I wish you could see
That you're slowly
So slowly killing me
Dying with every wasted breath
Destroyed by every criticism that you spit out
I hate you so much sometimes
I want to leave
But Im stuck
In your claws
Sooner or later we all leave
Sooner than later you'll break down
Soon you'll have no one around
You push us all so far away
You tuck us away in a box of your own
Imprisoned
After I help you
After I give to you
I gave to you when I had nothing!
This time it's different
Don't look for me
When you need help

Reaching for god
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
I had been running
For years.....
Tuning it out
And turning my back
But the stabbing in my brain
Won't let me shut it out
I hate when memories find there way in
When you rather they just fade away
If I could vanquish these faces from my mind
I would do it in a hearts beat
But for now I'll reach for gods hand
To help me through the maze of memories

Murder
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2013
Stare at the evidence,
that weapon you used to **** her.
The blood that stains the carpet,
the frantic smears of tears and fear.

Does it shame you,
knowing what you've done?
Are you guilty,
of what you've become.

Head lowered, eyes cast to the floor,
walking through all of these doors.
You can't look me in the eye,
or tell me why.

But you took her life,
with a dull jagged edge knife.
Buried in her flesh over again,
as she wailed for it to end.

You slung her up and tossed her down,
sealed the deal as you watched her drown.
Dusted off your hands and turned away,
did you think about the life you decided to take?

Feed the Flame
Katlyn Orthman Apr 2013
We all stand
Stand beside the fire
That lights the way
To each event do we feed the flame
Every word
Every look
Written in the flicker of the orange light
Dancing on the palm of my destiny

Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
I couldn't help but feel so sad
Because I know I grow older and I'll have to realese the good times I've had
I fear of forgetting
Of all that I have
Growing old, and dying
I don't mind dying , but I can't forget
Who I am, who I love
I'm scared of a new year and what it brings
Always cautious of turning the corner
Monsters always lurk near by
And solemnly I cry
But I can't say why
The passing of the time perhaps
And though I'm young and have much to see
I wonder what horrors I may next face
See I've learned not to trust the unknown
Pain prowls in the fog
And though I am only human
I can only wish I rise above the greed
I should be thankful to still breath
But fear has crippled me
I have found that I ...... Am weak

Inside your eyes
Katlyn Orthman May 2013
Follow me
Into the sea
That I am swallowed in

Inside your eyes
Where sadness hides
Is where a love begins

I see you there
Your soul is bare
Don't hide away from me

Let down your tears
Unwrap your fears
I'll hold you while you sleep

Just close your eyes
And realize that I am here for you
Don't pull away
Please just stay
And I will stay here too

Questions
Katlyn Orthman Jul 2014

that will never come true

Lost The Road Map Home
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2014
I see it passing by
within a glances time
I wonder how many chances
I'll get at this same thing.

Like a fog in the window pane
It's blocking my view of the sun
I keep on thinking that the next night
I'll simply give up and be done,

I fight for things that I believe are right
but who knows whats right anymore?
I keep trying to find this light
but it seems the lights dimmed
like a bulb in the morgue,

I feel like a sinking ship
will I ever reach the bottom of the sea?
Or will I just keep sinking deeper
in my broken adolescent dreams?

I'm finding that life is harder than it looks
and that every step I take it brings me farther from the truth
and I keep on searching
for I have curiosity achieved by only a youth,

But my outlook is no longer innocent
like a child who has not seen
I've seen the world at it's worst
and I understand what it means,

I just wish I knew the way
out of this godforsaken maze
it seems I've lost my mind
in this thought induced craze.

Mother of Peace
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
Bam**
A gun shot a mere echo in the nearly silent field
In the small second it takes to breath war erupted,
Death in his robe made up of the afterlife taking the souls along
Crack
The earth split open and the guns were silenced
If only for a minute
Before the fingers were being ****** with angry spitting face,
Accusations being flung like bombs
Then the ground began to shake
And from the crack in the Earth a tree grew
Between them
It took every bullet every stab every word
And with each one a flower grew around the tree
To end a war fight with peace
Not my best poem but oh well

I Have To Try
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2013
"**** me," she whispered through her tears.
Her eyes glowed red, stained from the shattering of her heart.
"I can't," I say my voice breaking as I face the mirror.
I slowly break apart.
"You said you would if it got to hard," she cries.
"If you give up, then everything was for nothing," my voice quakes.
"It doesn't matter it was all lies!"
"But we were so close," my heart shakes.
"How can we make it?" she asks me
"We have to at least try," I bite my cheek.
"We won't make it," she tells me.
"We have too, I won't be weak!"
She shakes her head, doubt in her eyes,
but I had to try

Giants of the Universe
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2020
It's like a dark cloud weighing on my conscience
What a cliche thing to say in a world full of dark clouds


For all my transgressions, I beg forgiveness from the eye that sees all.
For when I am called upon by the looker
To be judged for all my doings
I will be forced to look through the face of judgement
And recognize that the truth is sanctioned in the balance of the universe
And the balance is scaled politely on the shoulders of giants
That scoure the Earth in search of gold hearts and diamond tear drops
Leaving behind nothing more than bleak hopes and dreams casted out into the darkness of nothing.

Famous Monster
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2013
I was falling in love with you,
the way so many people foolishly do.
I felt something inside again,
and I left myself unguarded and open.
I left the shell I called my home
and then your broke me and I was alone

I was empty, just stared at the walls,
It was then I watched them crumble and fall.
I wasn't angry no, not at all
I didn't feel anything as I stumbled through the halls.

It was a pain that I can't explain,
it was something worse than pain.
Something that digs in deep,
and takes your heart for keeps.

I closed the door.
Slid to the floor,
and wished for death once more.

It's a never ending cycle of pain,
if only I had the restrain,
not to go back again
but in the end

*I always do.

To give it all up
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
On this road I travel
I kick the gravel
Hands deep in my coats pockets
My eyes moist with tears, flooding their sockets
It was a sad day to walk
In the sky above soared a hawk
And his cries a soft melody
That slowly comforted me
I don't know what did me in
Maybe it was the constant push to win
Even the trees glared at me now
As their old trunks sunk in, began to bow
My heart softly would quake
As my shoulders would quietly shake
I had given up my name
And pretended this had been a game
Oh foolish me!
How I couldn't see
It was my own fault that I walk here today
It wasn't right, for losers to stay

Loneliness Is My Disease
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2019
Are you acquainted with this feeling?
Of being so small
With trembling little hands
You wish you were tall

Tall enough to see the world
Large enough to be seen
Or are you stuck in this lonely plane
Where faces look so mean

Every word can crush you
Every look can drive you mad
You're stuck inside this circle
Of constantly feeling sad

Your tears no longer suit you
You try to fix your face
Do your thoughts attack you
As you try to find your place?

Are you running out of breath
Are you running out of space
Can you feel the blood pumping
As your heart picks up the pace

Will it always feel this daunting
Will we always be so alone
Insecurities are so haunting
I just want to go back home

Do you think this life is for me
Could it be my time to leave
Will I wander so far away
That I dissapear into the trees

Could it be that I am diagnosed
With Lonely Heart disease
So even if you hold me close
I run back to the trees

It seems it is my only home
The only place of peace
Please take me back inside
The safety of your leaves.

Nothing
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
I've asked myself
while looking in my own eyes,
Who am I?
I can't untangle this mess
Of things I'm supposed to be
The things that make up "me"
I keep waiting for it to all make sense
For me to know what I'm doing
But the truth is,
I couldn't be more lost
Following a faint trail of what's supposed to be right
And I'm confused
But never asking for help
In fear I'd come off weak
And though the tears push at my eyes
Begging for me to let go
I hold them in and squeeze my hands tighter
Because I can only cry alone in the dark
I'm overruled by this overbearing feeling that
I have to morph myself into a lie
Hiding behind a phantom
Only a ghost of what I really am
What ever that is
I haven't figured it out
Maybe I never will
I can only hope that I will find the will
To go on when the lights go out

Introspection
Inside inspection
Still spinning
From last nights rejection

Lurching

Alone
Charged stone

Skin stripped
Are you still there?

Speak tongues
Static on the radio transmitter

Tears from a broken angle
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
Words bitten off,
Sharp they pierce my skin
Sad my eyes watch the stars
There to hold me
There to watch the sorrow that falls of me
If I had opened up my eyes
Would I've been deceived by these vicious lies?
If I hadn't laid my heart out bare
Knowing I was taking a chance of pain
Would I be standing here
Would I be so angry
So upset
These furious waves sloshing inside my
Ripped up heart
When I'm lost at a crossroads
And I don't know which way to turn
And the tears oh how they burn, my eyes
Why?
Why do I always receive the lies
And the pain and the hurt
A single tear falls from my eye
What would it feel like to die?
What would the peace taste like?
What would the silence sound like?
I thought about cool metal against my skin,
Reopening fading scars...
Breathing quick and holding softly on to the small bear in my arms
I've never been a child,
I have never had a chance
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2020
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
All fray away with unraveled seams

Long for the day to be set free
In wanderlust out by the sea

Listen to the waves they crash and pull
Like musical tunes the sounds will lull

But lonely hearts travel alone
And nowhere ever feels like home

Not out by the vast blue sea
Or in the depths of ripe green trees

These places won't remember me
As lonely hearts are never seen

Not by the eyes of passing souls
Or by the eyes who make us whole

No, lonely hearts must pay a toll
Oh, where do the lonely hearts go?

Lost and never found
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
I could wander this earth forever,
But I would never find all the answers,
I could be as old as the angels
And the angels that fell,
But I would never find what I am searching for,
I could be blind, or have true sight,
But I would never find it,
Maybe it doesn't need to be found,
Maybe it will find me,
Maybe if instead of searching ,
I may stumble upon it when I wasn't expecting,

Out of the dark
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
Two years ago
My heart was broke
I was lost beneath tears
And dying beneath the smoke

But today you made me realize
That I can't always hide forever  
I have to come out of the dark
And mend these bonds that have been severed

I'm scared to open up
But I don't know anyone who isn't
And I'll take baby steps into the light
As these nagging thoughts are persistent

You keep telling me that I'm beautiful
But in the mirror I can never see
You keep telling that I'm amazing
But I feel grimy

You say my hair is most beautiful beneath star light
But I see my hair as coarse
You tell me that my eyes are a rare beauty
But I see nothing special

I lost confidence in myself two years ago
I lost the ability to see
I let the dark watch out for me far to long
And it's time I fully became me

A Talk Between Us

I'm sorry
For all the hate
All the anger
The confusion

I'm lost
Not very sure
Trying to keep up

Something new
Is around every corner
Threatening
Sometimes sweet

It tests me
Test my love
My faith in myself

Its shaking me
Stirring me
STAND UP

But I still love
I forgive
I'll try again

So should you
I believe
I care

You can do it
The dream
Lives in our veins

Praying, your breathing that you won't fall
Running, your screaming to them all
So silent you feel yourself dying inside
All your pain you put away to hide
Watching as all of your walls crash in
Waiting for the parade to begin
You have to run away from your pain
You have to out run the pouring rain
You have to run straight into your fears
And the farthest from your tears

It was under the warmth of the sun
That the first tear fell
It was the beginning of "done"
And the opening of my hell

You had broken my soft trusting heart
Crashed into my wall
You pulled me apart
And made me fall

Let me go please let me go
i just want to know
do you really care?
do you see me standing there?
or is it someone else
please just tell me

I want to forget your eyes
That haunt me now
I want to forget the lies
But I don't know how

After every chance I gave
You wasted each one
After each path I paved
You hit me where it stung

Let me go please let me go
i just want to know
do you really care?
do you see me standing there?
or is it someone else
please just tell me  

And now I'm crying to myself
Because you called again
It's not good for my health
You aren't now, you weren't then

Let me go please let me go
i just want to know
do you really care?
do you see me standing there?
or is it someone else
please just tell me

Goodnight, Goodbye
Katlyn Orthman Apr 2018
I am torn
Inside my head
Where thoughts are worn
And turned to shreds

This sunken heart
Inside my chest
Is torn apart
And laid to rest

Whispers call me
In depths untouched
Speaking calmly
In foreign tongues

I'm losing sight
I'm falling down
The light is bright
From on the ground

Goodnight I say softly
Goodbye I suppose
These sad atrocities
That I have chose

Have tucked me in
And closed my eyes
Where night begins
And I have died

Watching the Birds
Katlyn Orthman Jun 2013
Small birds chatter together
As I watch with a keen eye
I wonder what it's like to fly

The rambling mind
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
The world is gray
In my eyes
I'm slow moving
I'm sad
I'm tired
I only wish to sleep
I rather not talk
About my feelings
Though my mother tries
I rather just tuck them away
I wonder often if the past
Has soiled me
Made me... Crazy?
I'm question everything I do
Everything I say
I want to cry it all out
But I find my eyes dry
I used to be vibrant
Ready for the challenges
Now I rather not bother
I'm living life by a routine
Nothing interests me anymore
Sometimes I think about dying
I don't know why
It just slips into my mind
And I think how easy it would be
But I won't  
No I love my mom to much
I could never think to hurt her
But it scares me to know
That there in the back of my mind
Is the thought
Just had to put all these thoughts somewhere , not much if a poem though

Someone Like Me
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2014
No matter how many times
I claim I don't care
I will never feel right
Without you there

No matter how far my heart is
From your beating one
I'll never be feel the same way
About anyone

If you were the type
I would hold you in my arms
If you didn't fight
I would keep you from harm

But you're stubborn and don't care
About much at all
So you see why it's dangerous
For me to fall

For someone like you
Whose someone like me

Feilds of Wildflowers
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2020
Feilds of Wildflowers
All blooming with her
Looming power

Full and lush with color
Not even rain clouds
Would dull her

They would only feed her flame
Which never seems
To tame

No she flickers like a star
So bright you'll
See afar

And if you follow in her direction
You'll be enveloped
In her protection

Because feilds of Wildflowers
Are lush and
Full of power
