I beg you, please
Out of everything
You could possibly do
Don't hold back
What's important
To you

Yes, I know
There are times where
You don't feel safe
Or heard
Or accepted
Or maybe
You're scared

This world is tough
People are cold and stubborn
Sometimes you feel alone

But I have been starving
For just a hint
Of honesty and self-expression
And I bet I'm not the only one

So please,
If you have someone close
Someone comfortable
Someone there
Share your truth

l.v.s

I can't promise you a thing
I can't promise you me
I can't promise you us
I can't promise this will work
I can't promise you that I'll stay

For promises are no more
Than a delusion

Nothing is guaranteed
Nothing is written in stone

But I can hope

I hope I get to talk to you
I hope you're here tomorrow
I hope that you care
I hope that we smile
I hope we create memories

I hope if we part ways
That we're glad
We met each other

I hope
We don't
Regret a thing

l.v.s

I find myself here
Next to you

It's been some time now
It's hard to say
But it's true
Things between us
Are through.

l.v.s

I'm pulling
Your strings
Making you twirl
From my touch

The effect of
A slight stroke
Is tantalizing

I hope you
Appreciate
How my
Fingers
Play with
You.

l.v.s

Darling, please
Don't let him
Drag you down

Down into
This dull pit
Full of
Oversleeping
Unmotiviation
Boredom
Negative thoughts
And loneliness

Please
Don't let him
Do this to you

Each day
Bleeds into another
With no highlights
Only time filled

Look to yourself
Take a deep breath
Find your determination
And your strength
Tell him no

You've sat back
And dealt with
His nonsense
Long enough

Show him
The door.

l.v.s

Look around you,
What are you missing?

Depending on who
You ask the answer
Will be different

If you don't have
Any missing pieces
You're lucky

l.v.s

I thought we felt the same
But, how could you?

How could you,
When the things I say are just spun to fit your game
You watch me come undone as I feel I'm the one to blame

I thought you were telling the truth
But, how could you?

How could you,
When your words are a distorted mirror of what I wanted to hear
You read me so well

You expect me to be proud of you
But, how could I?

How could I,
Enjoy watching my character die?

How could you?

l.v.s

At this point
I should stop

I should stop
Sharing my thoughts
With you

I should stop
Spending my time
On you

I should stop
Craving and wanting
Your company

I should stop
Feeling and caring
For you

I should stop
I should
I
I wish
I could
Stop.

l.v.s

Something that has long been gone,
No longer remaining,
Lost all care for it.

Don't compare me
And the connection
we have
To that of strangers

We've known
Each other
A while
Let me see
Who you are.

l.v.s and IM

I don't like the feeling
When warmth
Is within reach
But instead
Of being embraced
You're hit by
Their cold shoulder.

l.v.s

Even in the moments
Where life is settled
I can't help but
Be prepared to
Run for the door

It tends to be when
I'm most comfortable
And content
That things begin
To crack
And crumble
At the seams.

l.v.s

You chose
To leave
Your mark
On me

Without a
Second thought
Or asking
For my consent

You branded
Your name
In the scattered
Shadows of my mind

Perhaps you hoped
I'd hold a flame
For you
But I'm
Just
Burnt out.

l.v.s

You play me the same notes
And repeat your words

You'd think I'd learn by now but
I always fall for the verse

Again and again on loop
Leave me outside feeling hurt

Help me im stuck in this
I tell my mind just stop

We're not a broken record
Get out of my head...

l.v.s and friends

Such fickle things
These feelings of mine
Forever changing
Never left
With a moment
Of clarity

You come
To mind
Once again
Now I can't
Stop
Please, make it
Stop

I need you
Out of my skull
I can't bear it anymore
You're no longer here
You won't be back
I can't stand it.

l.v.s

I can't trust
A single word
You spit out
When it's
Someone
Else's
Fingers
Drawing
The words
Out from
Your
Mouth

l.v.s

Right through the heart,
that's where you should aim.

A piercing shot,
You won't get the blame.

I'll set up the weapon,
with the sharpest arrow I can find.

I'll let you take the shot,
from in front or behind.

It's lined up properly,
so make no mistakes.

But this isn't the first time
that you have harmed me.

Why must I return to you,
Time and time again?

Take your terrible treatment,
As if it's something I deserve.

Soon I won't stand the sight of you,
Eventually, you'll get on my last nerve.

l.v.s and IM

I've let you go
Regardless of
How you reach
For me
And remind
Me of
Moments past
The thought
Of you
Has left
My mind

We crumbled
To ruin
From neglect

It's too late
To apologize
It's too late
To go back

It's too late
For us.

l.v.s

Some people wander
The streets
To clear their heads

I wander
Between
Lines
On a
Page.

l.v.s

We've all
Got
Bright bits

It's just hard
To see
With blurry
Eyes.

l.v.s

Such a mess
That's been
Left behind

An endless expanse
Of exposed emotions
And discarded devotion

As usual,
I pick up
The pieces
And put things
Back together

But unlike before
You're not welcome
Back here
Anymore.

l.v.s

We've been down
Many roads together
We've lived
Many years together

Once we were
Alongside
Each other
Connected
Happy
Just enjoying
The ride

But we hit
A crossroads
And grew apart
There are parts
Of myself
That I hide
It breaks
My heart

I'm so sorry
That we
Lost our bond
With each other

I don't know
How to fix things
I don't know
How to be close again

But you mean
The world to me

You're wonderful
I miss you
And I love you

Sincerely,
Your sister.

l.v.s

I snap a shot at what I feel is perfection,
walking down the road called life
losing track of my directions.

my photography stuck with me,
but I somehow failed to mention,
That I don't need a camera
To keep the memory of you
Crystal clear

l.v.s and IM

I don't know you yet
But I hope I will soon

I haven't told you yet
But I hope you will listen

I haven't opened up to you yet
But I hope you let me in

I haven't shown you my care yet
But I hope you'll have yours to share

I haven't taken a chance in a while
But I hope we will make you smile

l.v.s

Sometimes you can't
Burn bridges

Sometimes you choose
To dismantle them

Piece by piece
Word by word
Thought by thought

Sometimes you want
It to be pain-free

Oftentimes you try
Your best

Oftentimes that's
All you can do.

l.v.s

It's taken time
To realize
That connection
Isn't what
I truely fear

In fact,
It's the thought
Of someone
Being unable
To see
Everything
I have
To offer
As something
That is worthy
Of affection
Of a gentle hand
Of a kind word
Of a second thought

I fear opening myself
Up to someone else
But being treated
As just another option
Or worse
Having my trust
And offerings
Shredded
By the last person
I would've
Expected
To hurt me

If I'm going to
Connect with you
On such a level
You better
Not be
Just another
Devil.

l.v.s

Through your
Dancing in delight
You bring light
To my days

Diverting my attention
From dark thoughts
To those
Of affection.

l.v.s

There's not
Much space
Between
Where we
Stand

If we
Wanted to
We could
Reach out

I'd be there
For you
I'd hold you
In my arms

But you
Won't take
That step

Before I die
I want...

To know why.

l.v.s

There's not one
Human being
That can meet
All the interactions,
Energies,
Moments
Or expressions
You'd want in life
So it's okay
To have
A massive
Jigsaw puzzle
And appreciate
Each person
For the space
They fill

It's impossible to imagine
That a single person
Could meet all of your needs


Free yourself of that delusion
Appreciate each indivdual
Jigsaw piece
For the space they fill.

l.v.s

Damaged goods
Are still good
Regardless of
The broken parts

l.v.s

Why do you try
To find a purpose
From people?

Are you not able
To appreciate
The energy and emotion
People bring
To your life?

Why must people be useful?
Why can't they be themselves?
Isn't that enough?

Or is it perhaps too much?
Given the circumstances, I can understand the use.

A functional robot, comes equipped with a noose.

I can perform all these actions, even put on a face,
I can save you from yourself, but I am far from grace.

I do not have a purpose, and thus cannot help,
sorry but I'm leaving, this is all for myself.

l.v.s and IM

If you want to
Come closer
If you want
Me to
Let you in
I need you to
Understand

Time must be taken
Care must be given

I can not
Rush
There's no
Short cuts
This is
A process
This is a
Delicate
Thing

Please,
Try to
Understand.

l.v.s

My sterling starling
You're not the one
To spread your wings
At a great speed

You'd much rather
Settle down
In the shelter
Of your nest

I see the comfort
And familiarity there
I'm much like that
Myself

However, I do hope
We get a chance
To soar
To new heights.

l.v.s

Why must we
Be so well behaved?

I've seen
Many sides
Of you,
My darling

I know
You're trying
To have
Self-control
You're trying
But I can tell
You're lying

A quick glance
Tells me all
Your hands
Behind your back
Are now fists
You want more
Than this

Instead, you decide
To be a complete bore

Even having
The nerve
To comment
On the weather

If you want
To remain
All prim and proper
I suggest
You leave
Before I give you
The pleasure
Of pain.

l.v.s

Why would I want to learn you,
When you don't even want to know yourself?

Why would I want you in my mind,
When you don't give yourself a second thought?

Why would I listen to your speeches,
When all you have to say is nothing of interest?

l.v.s and IM

I stroll this
Rose garden
Each plant
Represents
A previous
Love

The lusher
And brighter
The flower
The stronger
Our connection
Had been

In the corner
Are a few
Petite
Roses
These loves
Never
Fully
Bloomed

But I
Still
Cared
For
Them

l.v.s

I'm not sure
Why your walls
Are molded
Out of ice

I hope
you're warm
On the inside

Please
Please,
Don't be
Numb.

l.v.s

Don't just
Throw your
Belongings
Everywhere

Don't turn me
Into somewhere
That holds
The things
You're
Not sure
If you'll
Keep

Don't make
Yourself
At home
If you
Don't
Intend
To
Stay.

l.v.s

You're the boy
I met in the
Summer rain

We were
Spinning
And laughing
Your hands
Slid to my waist
As if they
Belonged there

We shared
A moment
Sheltered
From our
Lives
Hidden
From the
World

It caught
Me by
Surprise
When people
Asked
About me
You spewed
Lies

I hope
I never see
You again.

l.v.s

An empty promise
Is naught
But whistling wind

Your lies
Drift down
And rest
Crumpled
On the
Pavement.

l.v.s and z.k

Choosing to overwhelm yourself
With neglect and negativity
Has left a mark on your soul

I reach out my hand
I offer my arms

But nothing gets through to you anymore
You stare through me
Like stained glass
I'm simply more emotions
That blur your view.

l.v.s

I'm falling
Over and over
Catching myself
Again and again
I finally lose
Momentum
And rest
Alongside
My discarded
Determination.

l.v.s

You feed me chocolates
From blood-stained hands
They taste bitter
They taste sweet

It almost
Makes me forget
My black
And blue
Smile...

Almost.

l.v.s

How dare you
Treat me as if
I'm nothing

It's rather simple
And straight forward
To have something casual
With equal effort
And respectful
Communication

If you think
You can
Treat me
Like
A cloth
To clean
The dust
From your
Boot
You're
Wrong

I'm not
Just here
For you to
Wipe yourself
With then
Be rid of

I am
A human

I am
A woman

And I deserve
To be treated
As such

If you
Can't
Have
Human
Decency
Then stay
Away
From
Me.

l.v.s

You've brought
Me to
Many heights

Soaring
Through
The air
Without
A care

I didn't
Expect
To
Hit
The
Ground

l.v.s

Take my hand
Will you?
Take a chance
Can you?

Too often
Words are
Left unsaid
Opportunities are
Left untaken
Life is
Left unlived

I come to you
And ask
What are we
Waiting for?

Join me
Lets share
A moment
Now.

l.v.s

Expressive eyes
Full of wonder
And curiosity

Remind me of
Something pure
Of childhood
Of kindness

It's not something
I see too often

Genuine and unfaltering
Fascination with life

l.v.s

I left you
In the
Hourglass
I'm sorry
I let you
Get lost
In time

l.v.s

There's a chance
For you still
Soft sweetheart
Delicate darling
Girl with the
Downcast eyes

Look up
Smile
And
Believe
In yourself

We're not
Finished
Here
Yet.

l.v.s

With each
Passing year
We're expected
To have
Our lives
Figured out

But at
The same
Time
We're given
Mixed messages
"Live
          every
                     day
                             as
                                  if
                                      it's
                                            your
                                                     last"
                     Along with
"Save
          and
                 plan
                          for
                                the
                                      future"

I don't know
About you
But my life
Is a shambles

I've reached
The ripe young
Age of twenty
Which is only
A quarter
Of my life
If I am
Safe and healthy

So why?
Why must I
Feel guilty?
I've only just
Lost my
Training wheels

How could
I be
Expected
To have
A structured
Life?

l.v.s

I've met many people
Grown close
And intimate
With only
A few

Each individual
Holds a
Special part
Of me

Some are hidden
Amongst the fog
Some others
Are held close
To my heart

Recently,
I've been
Thinking
About
You
But that's
Nothing
New...

l.v.s
