Why are women so ******* beautiful?
They lead men to their deaths like sirens
They bring them back to life with a kiss
They take on beautiful shapes and sizes
They have the most softest skin
And kindest eyes
They can make someone and break someone
With just a smile or a tear
Women are powerful, spiritual, sensual creatures
They create life, hell and heartbreak
They build people up and tear them down
They are wild beings that curl up in laps
They go out of their way to love you
Or avoid you completely
Women are advanced humans spinning webs
In every direction with such complexity
I am a woman and I can't understand them
But I want to love them
All of them
As much as any fool-hearty man
Would absent mindedly do
To love a woman is to love everything
We don't understand...
And then some
I'll never make it out of here
In this world of the poems I smear
The life of woe and despair
In a manner of all that is beautiful and rare
I see no more, I just want to disappear
It's the rise of a cancer I can't bear
It's the fall of a depression I'm not allowed to share
All you can do is stop and stare
And all I can say is, even if I dare
I'll never make it out of here
Imagine if I hadn't of written this poem
Would the few before this have seen more likes?
Is it unfair of me to jot down my every thought on a whim
Without allowing the last to breathe?
Would this poem be treated any different
Or see the fate of my last
If not now then when?
Will it trend and ignite envy in my last 4 published?
Or will you do as the title states
And ignore this
And read the one before it?
Respect every poem to your greatest ability
And read every word as if it were
Your
Last

The Truth About Life
For the man who rolls over in the night
To squeeze a pillow as his surrogate wife
For the girl who refuses to drown
By avoiding the pool when summer comes around
For the dog who dug up a bone
And buried it again for it wasn't his own
For the woman with a mouth full of bad teeth
It was all worth it for those childhood sweets
For the boy in class who got carried away
It wasn't his fault, he hasn't learnt what to say
We are all sharing the same world
The boy, the dog, the man and the girl
So why must we wage in wars
When everyday we fight to beat our best scores
What's the point in judgement and passing rumours around
If we all end up the same
Cold and dead in the ground.

The Root of all Evil
Make money
Take money
Spend money
Invest money
Lose money
Find money
Save money
Crave money
Marry money
Earn money
Work for money
Live for money
Breathe for money
Not run out of money
We live for money
We die without it
Love doesn't feed us
**** doesn't cure us
Cigarettes don't **** us quick enough
Money money money
Don't you ever run out

The Death Of A Poet
My lover has disappeared from hellopoetry
Another poet has died and it's such a shame to see
That this love of mine has no more for me to read
As he comes home from work to curl up next to me
His heart is filled by the warmth of mine
Though he no longer writes he'll be certain to shine
As my beautiful man with words that don't rhyme
But are just as sweet as the reddest glass of wine
He may no longer write but I will write every line
For him and his love until the end of time
For imrighthere, My-mind-for-a-crook, Death throws
and any other name you went by on here,
I love you and hope to live a fulfilling life with you, Layten Griffiths x
With love from Kaity x

Dropkick
Dropkick they call him
This sweetheart of mine
He's useless, no future
I say give him some time
But time is dwindling for this aching soul
The need for substance to make him feel whole
Rising after noon
Impending doom
I love him I need him he'll be something... Soon

Leaving Town
You actually considered it and for what?
A change of scenery?
Because leaving town means leaving me without having the guts to say it to my face
Because you'd see my heart stop like it did and you'd only get mad at me for it
I've never hated you before but I hate you so much tonight
Part of me wishes you'd still go
You considered it
Dropping your ******* wife like a cigarette **** so you could enter a smoke free building
Don't think I can forgive you for this
Now, tell me you understand
I'll always love you but I can't ******* breathe

Chopping Block
Here I lay wide open on the block
Every tear a new scar
Sprawled out and torn apart
You always did tell me to keep my chin up
And so here I lay
On the chopping block

Volatile
Volatile
A bitter taste left in my veins by the years of oppression
Afraid to love or trust
Uncomfortable constantly, consistently
Life's flourishing flowers bloom beyond my reach
I'll never get there, too stuck, too scattered
The world is someone else's oyster and I am their pearl prisoner
Afraid to touch or run
Nothing but bad luck to those who fall
I should just stay away

Death's rose touches everyone's heart
But only once
Because the moment his petals caress your soul,
You're life

Out Of My Spoken Mind
Where are you my lover?
You were always a blown temper
You took my shame and beat it til it surfaced
A brutality of another.
Where are you my sweet?
You often fell at my feet
And swore never to do it again
But we both saw defeat.
Where are you my ex?
Only useful for ***
Even that was half hearted and bitter
Unlike your pecs.
Where are you my head?
Reality is to dread
Hes nothing, don't recall him, god ****** woman
Hes better off dead.
It's a full moon in the winter with that heavy golden glow around it
It's a love we all knew in the autumn when the temperature drops and the desire for warmth grows stronger
It's a blatant spot of black in the whitest snow I've never seen
It's the last light of day during daylight savings that keeps me up for the rest of the night
It's the saltiest tear running down the saddest face I can't catch
It's the nightmares that shake you from slumber or the dream you wish you could go back to
It's the last breath you take before you dive bomb into the pool in your best friend's yard
It's the bruise on your shin and the cut on your arm you got for your mistakes
It's the hickey and the claw marks you got from the best *** of your life
It's the fall, it's the rise, it's everything we do, see, touch and taste
It's life
Don't let it go to waste

Fin.
You've ****** the life out of me
Everything that made me feel good about myself
You now use against me
I helped you I supported you I made sure you could stand
Now it's like you don't want what's left of me
When all you needed
was my hand

In Death We Can Fly
I am not wise
I am far from old
But I am impulsive
I have flown
I have fallen
I have loved
I have lost
I have wanted
I have feared
I have had my doubts
I have had my beliefs
I have denied everything I loved
I have blindly suffered everything I hated
I have lived
I have died
I have come back to face the devil
I have found him in me
I have repented with a razor blade
I have smoked my lungs dry
I have loved the world with open eyes
I have had the world taste me with envy
I have been gold
I have been silver
I have been bronze
I have been everything and nothing all at once
I have done enough
I have had enough
I have held my breathe for too long
I have been cold for a while
I have a smile on my face
I have lived
I have been
I am finally free

The In Between
The state of which a situation can go one way or another
The point at which you leave
The point of which I crash and fall
It's heart wrenching for me to sit by and be unable to help
While you do exactly the same
I may as well be picking the flesh from my chest
One tear at a time
While you drink yourself to sleep
Is there really nothing we can do to save one another?
Will we quit playing pretend?
Or are we forever ****** to stay here
In the in between
Not knowing
Never knowing
Always
unsure

Bleeding Love
I'm destined to fall for all the wrong people
The people who are too good too pure for this mess
I've always been told I'm dangerous, lethal
I lure people in with a love nobody else could want less.
My love is unconditional unconventional and new
It lingers it never dies it is enough for a few
That's my problem you see everyone falls
They may be done but my love keeps me up until dawn.
And my love may be spoiled by the many souls I feed
But I love without fail for them, for you, I'll always bleed.

Love on a Prayer
Porcelain
Oh how your skin beckons me
Eyes awake pouring liquid crystal onto silk
Embroidery of affliction
I've seen what they do to you
And what you do to yourself
Unknown beauty queen
You never believe their compliments
You discourage boys who endeavor to idolize you
Girls, girls, girls
An open wardrobe
No hiding your sexuality my dear
Years
It takes years to gain your trust and appeal
Exclusive you are
People take advantage of you
They catch you off guard
Blindside you
Mesmerize
And hypnotize you
If you could give me the chance I will be patient and kind
Tell you I love you on a prayer
Spill every drop of blood in my body for you
Fall to my knees and cry for you
Shelter you from men who treat you like ****
And set you free on demand
And,
Against my will,
I will leave on demand
But only if you mean it

Slave to Hatred
The more I see you the less I want to know you
The once charming being
With curly black hair
Who suited rings and ear cuffs
Who laughed at my jokes
And called me gorgeous.
The more I see you the less I want know you now
The violent and always angry
Pathetic creature sprawled across my bed.
You are not what I loved
You are no longer mine
But a slave to hatred.
The more I see you the more I realize
How foolish you are
To not love what you had
I did so much to keep you but now I want you gone
For good.
You are a monster of your own creation
And I loathe you.

Before The Tears
In the beginning you treated my body like a land you pursued
The grass was greener on the other side
And that other side was me
In the beginning you made love to me like I was everything you craved
You had come off a roller coaster ride
And you wanted to ride with me
In the beginning you talked sweet lip bitten words the poet in you conjured
You had me at your every tongue flick
And you flicked your tongue for me
In the beginning we were like newly weds with dreams and highs
You told me to be yours
I still want you to be mine
The beginning seems so long ago...

Dumbfounded
Don't ask me what the time is I wouldn't have a clue                                        
All I know right now is that I know you                                                        
Know your body the way it curves and moves.                                      
I never know the date don't ask me that                                            
But I do know you love kisses on your neck                                  
And the parts you think are fat.                                                  
I may not know much but one thing rings true                  
I always have and probably always will                        
Love the dumb things you do to make me love you

Who am I?
Who am I?
Warped, quirky and weird.
The odd one in the room by design
Constantly reinventing myself with every new song
Who am I?
Open minded, free spirited and full of love.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
With my hands to my chest in a feeble attempt to put it back in
Who am I?
Depressed, Bipolar and full of Anxiety.
Afraid to enter a room at times
Worried about what they think of me
Who am I?
Confident, charming and kind.
Always up to the challenge
A model, a writer a change of pace
Who am I?**
Everything I want to be
And everything I am

Flies
Its a sign
When the ex comes back
Its a test
When they all come back in the space of a week
You thought they were gone
Out your window
In prison
Off to South Africa
Happily married
But then they find you and catch you
Off guard
Just as you're moving on
I talk too much I cry too easily I can't see a way out and I only end the day exhausted and starving every time

This Is Not My Time
Where to go when home is empty and your lover's arms are crossed?
The edge of a bridge of course
A spider
She is huge and leggy
I jump
But I stay seated, feet dangling
She is spinning her web I mustn't disturb her for this is her place
This is her hour
This is not mine

I decide to live

The Right Side of The Brain
Flaming welts like craters in my skin
Memories of anguish
A moment in time when all was fine
Ceases to exist
As you excavate my form
I am a bundle of broken nerves
Ash is my life now
You can cast an eye on my beautiful face
But what lies beneath is much darker
Dare to conjure a pick up line?
I'll have you under one hell of a spell
I don't feel anything for you
How does that make you feel?
Crimson tears seep from the hurt
It's all a dream
At least that's what I tell myself
To justify all that remains
Be gone with you cruel creature
Fester somewhere else
My head is full

In Love With Words
We all fall in love
In love with faces and places
We all fall for something different but one thing the same
We can't help ourselves with words
Every tiny syllable like rain, we drown in a typhoon
No one can escape the rapids of language
Words are desperately sought after, and so overused
But we cling to what we fall for so deeply
And that is the words we whisper
Announce
Sing
Read
And utter to each other

Simply Poetry
Come love me now poet
I want to show you love in its most primitive form
You may choose to write of me
Or not
That is up to you, so warm
Come kiss me now poet
I'll show you what I've done
You may not approve but I've nothing to lose
So bear witness to my bleeding limbs and take it all in like you do
Come speak with me now poet
I'll tell you of my ways
I'm not as simple as you'd think
My species is on the brink
And who better to understand than you?
Don't forget me now poet
I've left my mark on your chest
Come and go as you please
You are so beautiful to me
Now write! As only you could tell it best

We hate the ones that loves us
And love the ones that hate us

What's your Favourite Song?
A Crook once told me,
"You are not a painting
You are a river
You have curves you bend you flow
You change
You are allowed to
Because you are not permanently one thing
You flow"
Never stop writing and saying what you mean

Rothman's Grip
Trash the sky with your cigarette ash
The sweetest tobacco I ever had
Your rolling tongue as you french inhale
The heat on my skin making me wail
Lick the filter
Skim the surface
Swim in the blue the clouds help us float
One puff
One life
Inhale
Head rush or choke

Come in, sit down you've been here before
That girl you hate
She's not me
All the poison ****** dry along with my temptations
A bruised heart

Too honest for her own good, believe me, it's me
Head's in hell but you can be free
I may not be able to set you free but you've given up before you've let go
Forgiveness rests all bitterness
