Sometimes
kyss Dec 2018
Sometimes I sit at home
And listen to the music you gifted me
Sometimes I wonder
What could have been
Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder how you’re doing
If you’re happier
If she’s better than I was
I’m happy, I really am
But sometimes I wonder

music
kyss Jul 2018
music runs through my veins
notes and lyrics take shape on my page
an exposition
of my emotions
available
and on display

my pain and my love
everything inside me
poured out into these
ill made recordings
of my singing late at night
half crying
with messy background music
but it's okay

because my music is a part of me
nobody can take away
no matter what they say

you made me so happy
I forgot I was numb
you made me so happy
I didn't realize I fell in love

now it's too late
and I've messed up what we had
I'm sorry I still bug you
I just miss having you around

I don’t know
kyss Jun 2018
I don’t know what’s real anymore
I don’t know what I enjoy
Or what I’ve pretended to like to please
I don’t know who I am
Or the mask I put on to hide myself
I don’t know who cares
Or who is pretending and manipulating my mind
I don’t know
And it’s terrifying
I can’t tell the difference between reality and lies
I don’t know who speaks the truth
Who can I trust
When my mind is filled with paranoia and doubts
I don’t know

the best times I had
were the ones when I was in your arms
when you would say the sweetest things
and you wrote poetry about me
and it made me smile and blush
nothing had ever made me feel that way

I'm not perfect, but you always told me you'd love me no matter what
I believed you
and then, cut to a few days ago
sitting on a park bench
you said a few words
that will forever be engraved in my mind
I held back the tears
because I know you wouldn't want me to cry
but I promise, the second I was alone
those tears started flowing

I thought we'd be okay
I thought we were good
I thought you loved me

who is she?
kyss Nov 2017
As i look
into the mirror
i see somebody else
this isn't me.
but then, who am i?
this person
staring back at me
is familiar
like an old friend
yet as i look at her
i am overwhelmed with sadness
as if the two of us have grown apart
over the years
she follows me everywhere
i wish she would go away
i'm trapped in her shadow
stuck with her
when i try to speak
it comes out through her mouth
everything i try to do
she does instead
why am i portrayed through her
this isn't who i am
why is she here
why won't she leave
why?
go away
let me be
i try to make her leave
it doesn't work
she is still here
i think she'll be here forever
but i'm not her
we're not the same person
not anymore
go away
your work is done
now go
please go

Once
kyss Jan 2019
Once upon a time
there was a broken girl
so worn down by the world
she couldn't carry on
she tried so many times
to leave this world behind
but she was stuck in a world that broke her inside

she gave up so many times
but convinced herself to keep going
she tried so hard
to make everyone happy
forgetting herself in the moments

much time passed, and suddenly she thought
well this isn't so bad
she left some people behind
no longer sad
she remembered how to be happy
remembered how to smile
found people that made her happy
she kept them close to her heart
she remembered how to love
forgetting all the dark

once upon a time
a girl was hurt inside
she wished that she could kiss this world goodbye

once upon a time
i was that girl
things get better, they do
don't be afraid to take some time

Just One
kyss Oct 2017
When we were younger
They told us
"Make a wish.
It will come true"
I have spent
many Hours
waiting

for these Wishes
To come true

But still
the Pain stays
and all my wasted Wishes
float Away

This
Is not my Body
It is both
Familiar and
Foreign
But i know
That i do not
Belong here
So i've tried desperately to escape It
i am not welcome
For this is not my Body
Not Yet.

I dream
kyss Jul 2018
I dream of laying in your arms
Watching beauty and the beast
I dream of kissing you
On New Year’s Eve
I dream of the future
And think of the present
And past
But it makes me sad
Because I have doubts that
These dreams
Will come true

Can I?
kyss Jun 2018
Can I say that I expected this?
I know I could never hurt you
So I knew, when it ended
It would be you, that threw the final blow
Can I say, that I knew?
You wouldn’t respond to my I love yous
I knew this was coming
That doesn’t make it any easier
And I know this is better for you
And all I’ve ever cared about is your happiness
But I must say, you’ve done quite the number on me
Built me up to a place I didn’t deem possible
And managed to tear me down with just a few words
I was too insecure
I was never good enough, and for that
I am sorry

Two days
Until I see you again
Is it bad that that’s all

I cannot wait to have you in my arms
To run my fingers
Through your hair
As I tell you for the thousandth time
I love you

pretty.
kyss May 2019
starving for months
skin and bones
I was beautiful
and they ruined me

they put me in a gown
cuffed me to a bed
shoved a tube down my throat
needles in my arms

I was told I wasn't sane
but I knew what I was doing
I was dying to be pretty
and I was, but then

one day, I passed out
and wouldn't wake up
they took me in an ambulance
and told me I would die

I said I didn't care
I don't want to be ugly

snapshot
kyss Oct 2020
I stare into a camera, the only eyes I ever see
laid bare before it, it sees everything
even through layers of clothing
it exposes the deepest parts of me
things I would never let anyone see

I am so open, yet completely reserved
I share everything so I don’t think about the hurt
everyone knows who I am, what I’m like
but nobody knows how I’m feeling inside

the trauma I have
and the pain that I feel
the struggles of suffering
and learning to heal
I’m still moving forward,
hoping it’s true
that time really does,
heal all wounds....

until the time
kyss Jan 2018
the moment
i've imagined it many times
someone walks in
startles at my body
slumped
on the bathroom floor
blood
on my wrists
on the floor too
finally free
from this world
i call home
someone calls my mother
she breaks down in tears
wondering why her little girl
has decided
to disappear
when will i muster up the courage
to carry it out
what will finally push me over the edge
who knows
but i promise
when it happens
i'll be ready
to commit
to my decisions
maybe i'll jump off a bridge
or in front of a bus
maybe i'll hang
or maybe just drown
maybe i'll use poison
or maybe starve myself
maybe i'll simply down pill after pill after pill
until i pass out
who knows
only i will
until the time...
that moment arrives

until the time...
that i'm ready
to die

broken mirror
kyss Apr 2018
Why is it
That I look in the mirror and want to change
Everything about myself
Is it just me?
Or is it society’s constructs that make me feel inadequate
Why are we taught that we should be so thin that so many girls starve to death
Why should we strive for a body that is simply unrealistic

Think for a minute
Wonder why so many girls have hauntingly low self esteem
Why everyone it there keeps trying diets and waist trainers and just plain starving
Why
Is skinny the end goal
Why
Do we see rib cages as beautiful instead of a sign
That something’s not right
Because something isn’t right
And we need to fix it
Before more people are cost

do what you will
kyss May 2019
I.... am broken.
I still wake screaming
from that day
when you left me
on the corner of a street,
after you were done playing with me,
I was changed.
I was made to feel disgusting time and time again.
please, I begged you
please, don't touch me
please please please
it was never enough.
you did what you wished
with my body,
my emotions...
everything you could take, you did

and I will never be the same.

Cried and

Jolted awake

you just need to be There
There, to keep the Scissors in the drawer
There, to keep the Pills in the cupboard

just There

Not okay
kyss Jul 2018
I’m not okay
No matter how many ******* times
You ask
I’ll never be okay
I’ll say I’m fine because it’s easier than explaining my pain
And all it’s roots and factors
Everything connected into the mess of me
I can’t ******* explain it
And I just want somebody to hold me and listen
As I attempt to accurately explain my pain
But I can’t describe it and I can’t control it
And I wish I was dead so I didn’t have to deal with it

hunger
kyss Jun 2018
a dull ache
I know what this is
this is hunger
hunger is good, in my mind
hunger means you are closer to pretty
closer to thin
but you will never be pretty
because no matter how many
pounds you lose
how many hours you go without eating
how many bones I can see
it will never be enough
never
I will still look in the mirror
and see nothing but ugly
nothing but fat
I still see nothing
I am nothing

Crying so hard it hurts and I’m laughing
Because this was my fault
The reason I ended up here is me
It’s all because of me
Tears drip down my cheeks
My body shaking from the tremors that course through me
I can’t control myself
Out of control
Too many tears
I’m drowning in them
I can’t breathe
Help me

the kiss of Death
something i've been trying
to Achieve
since day one

what i can imagine to be
blissful
beyond imagination
there have been many days
when i have Hoped to see
a shadow
looming over me
taking me away

to a world with no pain
no heartache
no feelings
just the beautiful escape

of nothing
kyss Jun 2018
I was planning for this to be
A cheesy catastrophe of emotions
But I refuse to use cheesy metaphors
To describe our love
Because it’s so true and real
And it makes me feel things
I have never felt
And didn’t seem possible
Until it happened

And yes, I’m aware
That was cheesy af
But I don’t care
Because you are my person
My darling
My one love, if you believe in that
My dearest friend
and cheesy metaphors, try as they may
Do not even come close, to describing the way I feel
About you

but i can't seem to see

little do i know
they're coming from my own head

that feeling of unease

inescapable

trapped
trying to drown them out
but still they linger

stuck

with the voices

thoughts

that all the things you said
weren't true
please
tell me that you don't care
and that you never did
tell me the truth
because it's breaking my heart
tearing it into pieces
thinking about what was said
in our meaningless conversations
because you gave me no reasons
just ended what there was
and i'm wasting tears
on you
so please
tell me
tell me honestly
that nothing you said
was true
