"The only words I head, speaking it's you I need."
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
Everyone seems to be talking about this thing they lost.
It made their world
It made them change
It made them live
It made them shine....

I think it was love.

I wonder what that feels like....
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
Love, took the wheel and drove into one hell of a storm.
Worth the experience.
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.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
My mind is in a fray
I can't seem to find the things to say
But when I do find them to speak
My heart shakes and my knees get weak
I'm afraid of saying something wrong
And I've waited too long
You walk away
Without hearing the things I need to say
I want you to stay with me
I just can't think, can you see
I want nothing but you
Please understand and love me like you do
Darling don't move along
Stay and read the song
Of what my heart may feel
But my mouth will seal
Know that I love you ***
That you are my Moon and Sun
This is someone I once dated. She had the hardest time saying what she want and admitted to me that she was afraid of saying something wrong or something that isn't enough. So, I got her to write her stuff in lyric poems and it worked.

That unexplainable feeling you get when you say, "I'm okay"

and they respond, *"No you're not."

Stars show their absolute beauty, in the aftermath of destruction.
Lauren Leal Mar 2016
I had the stars to gaze upon
To escape to when I feel I have not won
An endless beauty one can soak in for hours
Within the nature as the wind rustles the trees and flowers

Then life changed and I could not see my stars
I could only see lights and the sound of the cars
I lost my escape and fell into a abyss
Where all I could do is see the stars when I reminisce

Then I met a woman with that glimmer
A glimmer that I knew and my spine let out a shiver
In time I saw her soul
And in her soul, I found them shinning and whole

I found the black canvas in her eyes
I found the colors in her beauty
I found the shine in her soul

She and only she became my new escape
Where I can always see my stars

*I can even see them with the lights and cars
To my love who I know I can turn to at my worst. Accepting with open arms and an open soul. I love you.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
My state of mind is disastrous
My words are jumbled and blasphemous
When I speak it's a catastrophe
I'm lost in this reality

My mind is in constant motion
To these poems, my fullest devotion
To share who I am inside
With my mind opened wide

These words just don't make sense
These thoughts I must condense
My mind is a bomb, so confused
With each rhyme it will slowly defuse

I must pour who I am into these words
My troubles will divide by thirds
I need to sort these thoughts out
Before I forget what my message was orginally about
So much on my mind.
Lauren Leal Dec 2015
With that first
kiss
I vowed silently,
to give you many
more,
To stitch your
broken seams
to reveal the
the woman I obsessively
adore.
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
My heart tried to write something happy
My brain trashed it as fallacy
Lauren Leal Jan 2016
You are a high that I want to keep forever
I need to keep smoking in your soul
Taking you in, my past you sever
Never have I reached such an ecstasy of feeling so whole

I wait each moment to take the next hit
To take in something new
Something I can never forget
Never again will I feel so blue

In my galaxy you are such a perfect arrangement
Of flawless stardust from the most fascinating fire
You are simply a being of pure astonishment
It's your love and being that has only taken me higher
Stupid in Love.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Take my hand and let’s go on an adventure
Get lost in the stars and explore the future
Take my hand and climb into my mind
Where you will see my world and words outlined
Take my hand and climb into my heart
You will find that it’s not so bitter and ****
Take my hand
Let’s walk on the sun
Take my hand
Your journey has begun

Just don’t let go
Because if you do, my mind, my pen will lose its flow

Anger is nothing but terrible.
                    It quickly burns bridges to other people.
                                                           and it sets you on fire.

*Leaving you alone in eternal pain.

"I weaned off your poison, to just start smoking cigarettes."
Lauren Leal Jan 2016
Cleaning the gun knowing you will use it anyway
Putting it back together like the life you wish you could say
Taking the cold lead and pressing it into the mag
Looking at your smoke taking your last stress free drag

Shaking and Screaming as you fight yourself for control
Anger and depression take hold
Feeling the cold barrel press it's steel lips to your skull
Finger shaking on trigger waiting to take your life whole

But you drop the gun and it clatters to the floor
and at that moment you are grateful you didn't close that door.
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.
Lauren Leal Feb 2016
You are the flower I didn't pick.
       *I simply planted myself next to you,

                *So that at least we can grow together.
This was based on a quote I've seen multiple times about treating the one you love like a flower, not to pick it if you don't want it to die. I found a much better alternative.
Lauren Leal Jan 2016
It was your **** eyes alone that recreated my universe.
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
Don't mind me, I'm just bleeding my heart out one poem at a time.
Lauren Leal Apr 2016
I'm in complete disarray.
My life is in shambles and there is no return I say.
I'm a wanderer of my own cataclysmic oblivion.
Though I see all the doors, but escape is one in a million.
I'm pulverized by my past mistakes.
My soul is burdened and morose, are there any retakes?
But life is not a quiz, but a lesson to learn.
If you can gather the knowledge, will happiness return?
I'm in a constant state of bewildered frustration.
I need another dose and a recalibration.
Someday I will escape from my own mind.
But it's the answers and hopes that are scattered within, that I must find.
Wanderer of my mind's world.
Lauren Leal Jan 2016
I've left my footprints in the sand
Feeling your warmth leave my hand
I stop to soak in what has come and gone
Feeling alone and withdrawn

I'm bombarded by vicious visuals of my living fears
and everything I could ever revere
I'm a glass tank with only one shot
For the pain, I'll give you what I've got

Take me and my lacerated soul
Find the glass that cuts the deepest hole
Just be gentle with your hand
I'm at my most vulnerable and at your command

In return I'll love you to a fault
I'll bath you in my returning light as a result
You save my life every day, with nothing to even say
I even fell in love with myself today

I left my footprints in the sand
And felt the warmth return to my hand
I stop to soak in what has come and gone
Feeling more alive every waking dawn
I wrote this is regards to how my mind operates. It will hit me with what it knows will **** me, than all of a sudden pick me back up, but higher... Sometimes, only to push me down again. It's something I don't even understand.

She is the wave that breaks down my rock wall.
Lauren Leal Apr 2016
My anger is my nuclear fallout
It's what is killing me and choking me out
It's not only sabotaging who I am
But all those around me have faced the slam

The concussion blast of this vicious mood
Unable to control myself, only to know I'm *******
I can only sit and watch like a movie on display
What actions I take and the horrific things I say

These words reach out to those I have wronged
To those situations I only prolonged
These words are not a justification
These words are for you to have relation

This is my apology for what I could not control
I have gotten better and will never let this take me whole.
Anger, can be the most blind emotion alongside love.
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
Love is the finest and most dangerous double edged sword.
Lauren Leal May 2020
"We quote the good, but are poetic of the bad."
Lauren Leal Sep 2017
Glass Animals in my ears
More than ready to face fears
I can't let them whisper in my ears
My demon only nears
Each sip and drag a stimulation
To make everything a simulation
We have little in relation
Except in the act of creation
Lauren Leal May 2020
I thought I found the best
A god among the rest
But it was just a test
It's just a jest

A joke to show me I'm not real
To show me I'll never truly feel
How to love in life
Without the strife

Without the pain of past
Showing me it can't last
A fist full of lies
Punching the inner me as it dies

I'm on my last bump of hope
As if it's a form of dope
Thinking I'm gonna be alright
Without the will to fight

I just lie here and frown
I'll wear my smiling painted mask
And I'll drown
In enough liquor to fill an endless flask
Lauren Leal Mar 2016
The saddest thing I ever saw,
            Was a woman who couldn't see her mans efforts.
                        Especially when I watched him rip his heart out,
                                     and she got mad that he got blood everywhere.
The writing speaks for itself. This can also be interpreted the other way.
Lauren Leal Sep 2017
Rip apart all our clothes
Letting it all go to our foes
To fight our own battles
The rocking and bed clatters
Hair in complete tatters
We'll just remind each other nothing matters
Just follow my eyes
No need for hello and goodbyes
Lauren Leal Jul 2016
I rely upon the smile to deceit
For every person it's a repeat.

They talk to the smile and it replies
While I watch, as they eat the lies.

They compliment and gesture
The mask smiles and responds, so pure.

No one sees the face from under the mask
With the flawless smile seemingly everlast.

It takes a person with the same painted smile so see the darkness behind.
As it brings upon the pain that will make your thoughts rewind.

It takes the same smile to know what has to be done.
To remove each other's mask and say that you have won.

I sit here and re-read what I have written down.
My smile agrees, but with a frown.
Lauren Leal Mar 2016
Our love is like a match.
It's a burst of love and life,
That finds a steady pace.
Until death comes along,
And wins the race.
To my love.
Lauren Leal Dec 2015
Your body is a canvas,
Covered with the paint,
of your life.
I want to study
and learn every stroke,
every scar.
I want to know
every part of you.
I need to learn your story
by seeing
and feeling
every inch of you.
Lauren Leal Sep 2017
Let's just **** it out in the end
But let's be real you're just a friend
Over the end of a pickup truck
So I sit here and write to pickup luck
With hair like that it was a match I struck
Get down to luck and a quick ****
We'll find that reason soon
That stole my moon
So I'll sit here and attempt move along
Or ponder the next color of your thong
But we'll skip the details like we did before
Hence why the **** I wanted to close the door
Lauren Leal Dec 2015
I've been chewed up and spit out
Dropped like a bad habit and slapped with doubt
I went inside myself to rid me of shame
Yet I'm looked at and easily blamed

My past forever left a burn
Melted and scared away, with no more places to turn
So I dove inside myself and threw out the key
Hoping that no one will ever hurt me

In that time all I needed was someone to try
To gather my shattered remains and rid the tears I cry
I longed for someone who could bring me to my feet
and bring back my dying heartbeat

I don't want to stay here anymore
Please find that key and open the door
Tell me that I'm truly needed with no doubt
and teach me what life is really about
Thoughts
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
My thoughts are stretched and hazy
Driving me absolutely crazy
Without you here I feel so alone
My world is quiet, just a steady tone
The melody we would create
that started on our first date
is slowly going out of tune
Don't be gone too long, come back soon
I have nowhere to go
except the only place I know
That is inside
The only true place anyone can hide
The habit of hiding inside myself when things get too rough.
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.
Lauren Leal Sep 2017
Let me tell you I still love you
You as in the things you are and do
I sit and remenice
About how badly I didn't want this
But the irony for me is you went free
I try but in the end sitting alone with a cup of coffee
And for right now as I can see
I'm only capable about writing of you and me
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Help me darling to find who I was
I seemed to have misplaced it just because
Without you here to hold you near
I live in myself bottled with fear
That I may never find another love
The rain dances on me from above

Help me darling to find who I was
I miss being close while our hearts buzz
I sit here waiting in this lonely place
Me and the ground staring face to face
I wait to feel your presence close
The rain dances on me dose by dose

Help me darling find who I am now
I need you here to show me how
I need you here to make me stand
I need you here to take my hand
I need you to be here with me
The rain now dances slowly
I need you to calm my inner seas
But I’m that not real, I’m crumpled to me knees
The rain now dances on your stone
Where your last day with me is shown
Lauren Leal Oct 2017
I'd rather you hate me
and move on dear

Than love me
and be stuck, I fear
Lauren Leal Mar 2016
In the midst of sadness, the only solace is anger.
To those who are sad, I understand your anger.
Lauren Leal Dec 2015
My one wish? *To have met you so much sooner.
To answer a question.
Lauren Leal Sep 2017
If there one thing driving me insane
Is that I still have the pain
Of my anger inside me
Anger that you can see
Why couldn't you give, to hear my plead
That I am in fear and in need
That this anger could overtake my mind
Who knows what you'd find
If you told me not to do that now
Or to find ways to figure out how
To quell my inner child's rage
But you skipped that page
and went right for my heart
Then wondered why I ripped you apart
You sought not to help with what remains
You forever sought personal gain
Let that sink in to your soul
You cared not to help a part, of someone that gave
themselves whole
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.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
Can be so painful, but I find myself wanting more.
Once experienced, it's like a drug.
Lauren Leal Jan 2018
Time feels like two steps forward and seven steps back.

Hope and Faith decided it was time to pack.

So, I smoke another bowl to drown it all out.

That gut slaughtering emotion, of true
self-doubt.

Wondering if any choice you make is right.

Pondering, if there's anymore reason to fight.

Just another smoke after a ****,
Forcefully laughing at another joke.

But now I can't even speak.
Time's a great teacher, but it's future is bleak.
Those time you feel, helplessly set back.
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
Someone else cutting the ties is painful.
        
                        But ****, cutting them yourself is absolutely excruciating.
Something I'd rather not do again.
Lauren Leal Feb 2016
From the start, it was you.
It's always been you.
The difference is, this time I found you.
When you find the right one, and you realize all your past was just you searching for them.
Lauren Leal Jun 2015
For Her my heart feels
With Her my heart heals
The pains washed away
Leaving my horrid past to decay

With Her I feel alive
For Her I will strive
But I am still

Waiting

For Her to arrive
Thoughts
Lauren Leal Jul 2015
The moment when someone notices,
                               and they hold you so tight,

*You have no choice but to let everything out.
Something I need.
