Put your head on my lap
Let me sing you a lullaby.
You've been awake through some nights
But there was a girl who went through few more
And in those moment you let your tears drop
She wrote herself a song.

I know you're broken,
I know you're sad,
But it will be over before you know;
Life's not about the crests, there will be troughs
Like a musical note.

It's dark now,
There's no one with you,
But at the end of the day we're all alone;
Be your own best friend, why do you pretend?
That we don't die alone.

Those teardrops on cheeks,
Glisten like pearl beads,
But the thing you're crying for doesn't deserve it;
You're worth more, than you know
So you might as well listen to me tell you how.

We've fallen, but we'll get back up,
Our failures don't define us.
We're broken, but we will heal
Else carry scars on our back with pride.
They can hit us once, not more than twice
We are not weak, just polite.
We'll fight for what's ours, not smile when we're dark inside,
We have hung enough of us for sacrifice.
And those double faced friends, relationships with dead ends,
Say them goodbye and make it end.

Just keep smiling, Sweetheart
You're better than your past,
There's more to life than war.
So don't give up!
If not today, tomorrow is ours,
If not better we're less worse.


2am,
I've got to go,
I'll visit you again, when you're alone
If not sweet dreams, may a sweet life wake you up
Sleep well, my love.
There are a lot of diseases and there are a lot of medicines being made for them. But there is one disease that has no cure made for it yet and is affects people widely - Broken heart. I have met many people in my life who are either sad, broken or depressed. The reasons are varied but they share one thing - pain, helplessness, loneliness. This one's for all of those broken people out there - Stay strong, someone loves you and if not, I do *hugs*

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
the only way you can hear his voice, is through the voice mail he made
6 months ago

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
you can no longer feel his arms around you

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
you forget the colour of his eyes
and the shape of his jaw

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
the faded memory of his laugh breaks your heart
because you can no longer hear it

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
you say I love you to him
and his grave says nothing back

You can't talk about long distance relationships until
you're in love with a boy

Wish you could live forever,
Give my thanks to those I loved,
The parts of me they left,
All their names tattooed on my spine,
Lessons carved in the table tops,
Messages passed down,
Addressed to the girl across the room,
All that spitfire and stern smile,
My innocence lost,
Many nights ago,
All the letters sent,
Destinations still unknown

Open chested memories,
Tell the stories on my skin,
Grace shivers with the visions,
Of ivy cigarettes and inhaled nothings,
Childlike reminders to the gut punch morals,
Nightmare laced twilights,
With too many names caught in the sweat,
Stuck with a golden heat,
And a wild set of veins

Oh how you make these civil wars rumble,
Inside the house we shared years ago,
Washing away the taste of you,
No chaser silenced the fire in my belly,
Smack my veins for an entrance,
Words slurred out of mouth,
Spiraling up, and away, in the cigarette smoke,
I've got too many prescriptions,
Sick from all the pill popping,
These sedatives repetitive,
And I am nothing but a graveyard

You stick to me
And i'll stick to you
We are joined at the hip
You wash away the troubles
In bottles filled with poisons
Drink for the happiness
Pints of serotonin

Thank you for the honesty,
Give praise to the sentences,
All the nights of wandering,
Thank you for the welcome,
The open arms we ran to,
Every imperfection noticed,
Thank you for the secrets,
All the keyboard confessionals,
The courage you displayed,
All the inspiration witnessed,
Thank you for still being here,
Through it all.
Been reading a few recent poems on here on their thanks to Hello Poetry, thought I write one myself. I can not begin to say how much I appreciate this website, it means so much to be able to take part in something I love and share it with others of the same interest. This place has really been good to me and I just wanted to say a thank you.

There are times,
Where I want to sing,
Your name and mine,
Tangled in the same tune,
Dancing with the syllables,
All the notes and nothings,
Around and around,
Into the evening hours,
There are times,
Where I have cried,
Familiar faces on morning news,
Funerals for the friends lost,
Childhood ends far too early,
So many nights forgotten,
Sunday morning service,
Prayers for the wrongs I committed,
In the hours prior,
There are times*,
Where I reflected on the memories,
August took a piece of me,
Everything was full of life,
We never even wondered,
About what would become of us,
In the sunrise that followed.
