Girls Chase Boys
Kimberly Rose May 2020
You left me and everything we had
Now you expect me to take you back
You broke my heart and threw it away
Now yes is the answer you think I will say?
I’m done trying, I lost my hope
I’ve finished chasing, I had to stop

Miss
Kimberly Rose May 2020
Don’t hug me or charm me with your smile
You really shouldn’t lead me on another mile
Let’s not pretend you have true feelings in your heart
Another in your life is keeping us apart
Now leave me be so I don’t miss each sweet, tender kiss

Gasping for Air
Kimberly Rose May 2020
I no longer want to see
I no longer want to breathe
Knowing you’re with her only kills me
I tried to hide the pain
But fighting it drives me insane
I wanted you to hold me
You’re the only one who knows me
I still want you to love me
Although you put others above me
I needed you to be my everything
Now I’ve become so lonely
We’re nothing
It kills me
I can’t breathe

Beguiling Love
Kimberly Rose May 2020
I gaze into your eyes to see
You no longer have that love for me
Your love felt so destined
I couldn’t see an end
You’re the one I want forever
It was supposed to be you and I together
I constantly reminisce how you’d call me your lady
Now I miss you so much I feel I’ve gone crazy
You’re always on my mind, regardless of what I do
I pray you never forget how much love I gave to you

Stepdad
Kimberly Rose May 2020
When you said you wanted to strangle me
I thought how grand that would be
There wouldn’t be a me to cause more stress
I wouldn’t be around to make more of a mess
You could live your life as any normal day
I’d be your problem, come and gone away
So wrap your hands around my neck
and don’t stop until I choke on my last breath
As you feel accomplished you want to stay to check
Now ****** is your addiction, now it is your ****
My life is gone, no room for precious moments
My life is gone, there’s nothing more that torments

Cycle
Kimberly Rose May 2020
Every happy moment has come and gone
The sad moments are lasting far too long
I try to stay optimistic
But you’ve become so narcissistic
Only thinking of yourself
Paying no mind to my mental health
Constant belief that already I am dead
Yet an endless reel of unanswered questions are still rushing through my head

Accepting Defeat
Kimberly Rose May 2020
I’m all out of tears
They’ve dried through the years
I thought they were a sign of weakness
Yet I continue to portray my meekness
In surrender, I close my eyes to pray
Even still the end may never go my way
Pain and loneliness overflow within me
If you hand me a rope, I’d gladly find a tree
The sound of distress breaks through my emptiness
There is no other topic I feel compelled to address

As I wake
Kimberly Rose Mar 2019
Waking up in the still of the night
Waking up while you're holding me tight
Waking up when I feel your little shivers
Waking up to tuck your feet in the covers
Waking up then planting a kiss on your nose
Waking up as you angelically doze
Now she wakes up while you are sound asleep
As I'm waking up without you next to me

Hush, pretty girl
Kimberly Rose Jan 2019
Learn to stay quiet
Do not speak a word
You're allowed to be seen
Not to be heard
Your ideas will not matter
Since you have that pretty face
Otherwise your body
Would be such a waste
Yes, you are brilliant
But never must you tell
You read each novel in darkness
Plotting an escape from where you dwell

Baader-Meinhof
Kimberly Rose Nov 2018
My eyelids become heavy with desire. Craving an unknown, improbable future. Color swipes behind closed eyes, painting the image my mind continues to reminisce.
My fingertips ignite with warmth. They wander to where they crave to reside. Charting its surface, memorizing the curvature with a texture ever smooth.
My ears perky of familiarity. Pleasured by the sheer sensual vibration of my name having traveled vocal chords, tongue, teeth, lips.
Surround, engulf, indulge me.
Your venturesome soul sails through dimensional dynamics. Could this be you inhabiting in my senses?

Sleepless Washington Night
Kimberly Rose Nov 2018
Hypnophobia
A fear of sleep
A fear of dreaming
Much too deep
Hypnophobia
Close each eye
Lie in darkness
It hears your cry
Hypnophobia
Fall asleep
Hypnophobia
Dream so deep
Hypnophobia
Close those eyes
Hypnophobia
Will you arise?

Beauty is a Wildfire
Kimberly Rose Nov 2018
I catch a glimpse of flames
Submerged in the swallowing smoke
Stare as it burns in the distance
Full of radiance and life, yet slowly dying
Light increasing, in its path diminishing
The depth of the valley, the vibrancy of color
Where is the point of ignition?
It spreads across the horizon:
milky clouds of white
earthy transparent brown
deep violet filling the air
The sun setting behind the tragedy,
forming brilliant, engulfing layers:
scarlet transfers into a peachy blush pink
Mountains blue as Washington’s Pacific Ocean
Sky breathing life to my favored colored pencil
Thin clouds lay as one with the atmosphere, each varying-
fluffy white into cotton candy pink
to an Easter bunny yellow
This is no dull view for the eyes
Nature, destructive while creating its signature on this piece of art
Engraving the masterpiece in my sights
Each flame once its own morphed into oneself, dramatically altering its appearance, its mass
A single flame has the ability to become a wildfire within an instant
Could I smolder a fire on my own?

Worthy
Kimberly Rose Oct 2018
A life of blurred conception
With broken legs I chase perfection
I find myself repeating the question,
Why am I not worthy?

I give my all to meet your needs
Inside I break, falling to my knees
My lungs collapse and my heart no longer beats
Why am I not worthy?

You give me standards I cannot reach
You drain my hope, blood to a leech
I cannot help but recite the same old speech
Why am I not worthy?

I can do no more to impress
You drug me through all this distress
You seek others, finding me less
WHY AM I NOT WORTHY?

I realize, shuddering with fear
A truth speaking loud and clear
As I watch my reflection in the mirror
I will never be worthy.

— The End —
