That Feeling
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
When you watch the person holding your heart...
                                                                                Let go....

In slow motion, you feel it falling in your gut....
                                                             and the pound in your chest...

*As it touches the ground and shatters to pieces.

I Did it Again

Spark of Insanity
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
These destructive thoughts are a calamity
Driving my mind to the brink of insanity
**** this
Oops, excuse the profanity

But this is the last of this thing called sanity
I can no longer be part of humanity
I am now so far from sane
My thoughts are simply not humane

Not quite sure what made things this way
Maybe the RedBull made my brain grow wings and it flew away
I don't really have much to say
This poem really has no point anyway

Maybe it's to clear my mind out
.
.
.
I am the most sane inhumane insane humane person, no doubt.
Don't ask.

An Intersting Symbiosis
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Love is getting stabbed on purpose and the person whom did it gives you a band-aid.

Calm

There is almost nothing more calming
When the one you love
kisses you on the forehead

A Change in Heart
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
There is this feeling.
             That you know you are in love when,
                             That person you want to be with,
                                                           ­ Says, “I’m leaving you”.

In that instant, a weight slams your chest, you think of all that you and that person have done.

The Adventures.
            The Moments.
                         The Minutes.
                                    Everything.


It leaves you
                     Lost,
                     Confused,
                     Broken,
                     Scared,
                     Shaken, and Speechless.


It’s when you try to look into the future, but it’s blank or blurred.

This is because your heart doesn’t want to see a future without them.

In return, that feeling creates a fire in your heart. One that is willing to change you for the better.

*A fire that should never be underestimated or taken for granted.
Something I experienced recently. Something I felt the need to share.

Courage to Walk
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Sometimes,
           even in Darkness,
                               you can still find the most beautiful of things.

Bittersweet Memories
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Curled up in a ball tears falling in darkness
                 arm stretched out reaching through nothingness
                                            hoping to once more touch your face

I quickly draw back my arm
                  remembering that you had left this place
                                            when you gave yourself a shove
                    
Falling

Slowly

**God, If only you had landed in my arms love
An old Memory that decided to show face.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
That moment when your brain betrays your heart

It happens in slow motion


and all you can do is watch.
These moments are not easily forgotten

Lost Love
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
I need you by my side
You were the perfect love
and my feelings I need not hide

I need you in my arms
Surrounded by your love
Breathing it in like cast charms

I need you in my life
You are my world
I planned on making you my wife

But this love be had is now a frost,
                   It's stopped progressing, our love is lost
When things seems to just hit a dead end. Abruptly.

Neverending
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Awake in nothing
Hands shaking
Eyes darting
Heavy breathing
Not your own
Blind darkness
The ringing
In your ears
The scratching
The knocks
The voices
Driving you
To insanity
You run
They laugh

What to do?

*You awake
In your room
To look over
To see that they caught you.
Those dreams that don't end when you awake

I'm Letting Go for Good
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
I''m letting go for good darling
I'm sick and tired of the quarreling
You say that you love me ever so much
That you want to be with me and feel my touch

Yet you never answer your phone
you don't ever reply, you leave me feeling alone
You get mad when I then make assumptions
Then you come up with all these presumptions

You can't even follow your own word
When I call you out, you act like a coward
You come up with the same excuses
With that my trust it reduces

You are not the one I remember falling for
That one must have died crumpled on the floor
I can't see the light with us anymore
Which is unfortunate, because only you I could adore

I'm letting go for good ***
Consider myself dead and done
I was hoping for a better outcome

I can no longer love what you have become
Happened on my birthday at that

The Opening of My Mind
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
I feel like my words are failing me
My thoughts are simply not there
What I write is not what I want it to be
My mind has become blank and bare

I'm lost in this nothingness
Feeling empty with nothing to confess
My fire becomes less and less
These words and rhymes are more a mess

No matter how hard I try
to put down my pen
I always look back
and lift it again

I must gather myself and collaborate
Look at my words and rhymes and elaborate
Make them more in depth and intricate
Expand my heart and make it infinite

I must become the words I scribe
Using them on my demons as a bribe
To break a piece off my existence
To incorporate it into my poems with persistence

I must truly write how I actually feel
nothing obscured, it must appeal
To the minds and hearts of the readers who care
hoping to cause a spark, arc and a flare

I will open my mind and dig in the dark
And through
All the Words and Rhymes
On new journey I will embark
Digging to places I rarely go within myself.

This Familiar Feeling
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Sometimes I wonder if I can ever
climb out of this feeling that is so clever
It stays with me when I eat
It lives in my heart with every beat
It craves when I get dragged down
It lives when I wear my frown
It stays with everything I do
except when I am with you
but this feeling I have long known,
*It's being Alone
Seems to be my closest friend though.

Moonkissed
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Walking out to the side of the ship
The wind cold and crisp
looking to see the Moon's reflected light
kissing the ebony sea's surface with caress
Like rolling bright white silk, looking soft to the touch
The edges looking like thousands of camera flashes
I look up to see millions of twinkling dots
of stars long gone, though the beauty remaining
I close my eyes, take a deep breath
And smile, grateful to see something so beautiful before my death.
One of the many views you can see from the middle of the ocean at night.

Power of Words (10W)
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
It's scary how words can make your heart feel everything.
Simply scrolling through HP realizing that I'll be happy, laugh, then really sad, then shocked. All by simply reading. It's an amazingly powerful thing that is misunderstood.

Intertwined
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
When a heart shatters to pieces
It takes someone of a similar break
That can simply pick up all the shards
and put all them back together.
Whether the pieces are right or wrong
Both have a fixed heart that will beat
and forever be intertwined.
Sometimes the pieces don't matter, it's as long as the heart can beat again. Those people are ones you can not simply forget.
Jun 2015 · 575
Close Friends
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
All I want in life is to live, laugh and love
To simply look to the blue skies above
and have no worries, even for just a day
but life keeps taking close people from me away

I'm surrounded by death and loss
people tell me to turn to the cross
but that can't heal this pain
only time can help it not to remain

I'm coming to my last breath
inches from what I feel is death
it's just merely my heart crying
wondering why so many are dying

one, two, three, four, five
I count less close people that are alive
It's such a burden to contain
No matter how much I pass on, I'm always in the rain.

I wait for the day for that person to cross my path
That can calm my darkness's wrath
To simply hold me close to their heart
and to see the sun and the rain clouds rip apart.
I've lost many people that were close to me. It's a weight difficult to carry. I hope by sharing this is takes a piece off, even if it's just for a little bit.

Let me go...
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Let me go to fade away
Just like I did in your mind today

Let me go to release the pain
So happiness we can obtain

Let me go to so I can understand
Why I was unable to be your man

Let me go so we can be free
Though I always think of you and me

Let me go...
So I can walk back around
To let you know...

*"I love you Darling, take my other hand"
Sometimes through the thick and thin, all you need is a second chance to truly be you in a relationship.

Exchange
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Sometimes,
I wonder.
If I am,
noticed.
If I'm just,
another spec,
out of
focus.
I feel like,
I wander,
alone.
Simply moving,
forever
on my own.
Since nothing
seems to
change.
Life and Death
Will do
Their
Exchange.
Memories of an old friend came to mind, whom I wish I could have saved.

What I Miss
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
I miss the touch
of her hand on my face
I miss the feeling
of her tender embrace
I miss the seeing
Her smile and dance
I miss hearing
Her voice, putting me in a trance
I miss the taste
of her soft lips

From my hand, her grip slips
What I miss, fading away
Crumpled to my knees, is where I still stay.
Current feelings.

Poems of Passion
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
My hand shakes gripping the quill
Shaping and warping words at will
The ink is the blood of my heart
for it is where the fire for my poems start

I cut and carve my life in rhyme
blotched on the paper trapped in time
Life Death Loss and Love
Spilling and splashing to the paper, all of the above

The heart dances as the fire rages
The quill scratches and drips as words come alive off the pages
Throwing you into the realm of my mind
You will exit leaving nothing behind

For poetry is a passion
I am not of any fashion
I merely feed the fire
That my heart will forever desire.

For every poem you read
Is what my heart is willing to bleed
Passion

A Change in Love
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
You showed no mercy with your decision
When you made the first incision
You took my heart and you ripped it out
you taped my mouth to muffle my shout

You drove me to insanity
because of the loss of your humanity
You were loving with with entry
When me and you was We

Now you are deranged
Your love is mixed with hate and rearranged
I don't know what brought this upon you
This just isn't what the old you would do

Now I'm lying here fading in and out
You've taken a huge piece of me, no doubt
I now forget what I lived for
Constantly wondering why you never came back through the door
When you are left behind, faster than you can process without a reason

You will find that it’s not so bitter and ****
Take my hand
Let’s walk on the sun

Because if you do, my mind, my pen will lose its flow

Selfworth to Life
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
You** say your life is a fallacy
Let me guide you to what you need to see
That you are who you want to be
Not what comes out of society

Follow where your heart will aim
And take what it wants to claim
You will then realize that this reality
Does not make your life another fatality

You have to reach for dreams
no matter how endless it seems
to that when you cross that line
you will realize that you are fine

That this place is not too tough
It's you making it so rough
I think you just need to explore
into yourself a little more

Share yourself piece by piece
You will feel the restraints release
So that you can finally be alive
and into your life you can dive

Do not be afraid
because the road you must follow, your heart already laid.
To those who question self worth to life.

Save me
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
What do you do
When a loved one comes to you
With a glock in hand
With a simple demand

Save  me

You get locked in place
Your heart furiouos beginning to race
The numbing of your mind
You close your eyes hoping you can rewind

Their hands around cold steel
Their life it wants to steal
They shake in fear
But the end goal is clear

What do you do when they scream

SAVE  ME

This is where I failed
My thoughts were jailed
All I could do was speak with my eyes
Which brought on my demise

Hovering over the lifeless
Crimson painted in a slant
For my eyes spoke,

I  *Can't
Something very real that happened in my life.
