Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
roses are red, violets are blue
i hate myself for being in love with you
I cant make you smile
you will not stay for awhile
so why do I force myself into your arms
why do I accept when thoughts of you swarms
so roses are red, violets are blue
I hope that one day I can get over you
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
lost
broken
hopeless
strung out
that's what you would say
if you could see under
the costume I'm forced to wear
the mask I must wear
so that you don't see what has gone wrong
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
the sun will rise
even when your in pain
even when your broken
even when the emotions welling in your stomach start to strangle you
the sun will rise
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
I look in your eyes
and suddenly I'm swept into a world
where we never collide
and I start to feel like I'm missing out on my whole life
cause I ran and I danced and I felt alright
but I promise that after the end
I will stand taller
because even though its making me sick
we can heal
Melanie Jackson Jan 2022
roses are red
violets are blue
i wish I could get out of my head
because with you there sometimes I wish I was dead
Melanie Jackson Dec 2021
if paint could fix my broken walls
hide the cracks
cover the scars
make all the problems I've endured disappear
I would be a **** good artist
Melanie Jackson Dec 2021
I live in barbed wire
caged like an animal
restricted by my fears
that rise above me like fences
blocking off the world
from my insecurity
the tears I cry soak the wires
I hope one day they rust so bad
that I'm forced to be exposed
