LOVE ME BACK
Lavina Akari May 2016
I JUST WANT TO STAND AT THE EDGE
OF A CLIFF I WANT TO SCREAM
"LOVE ME BACK FOR ONCE"
I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME.
LOVE ME BACK.
******* LOVE ME BACK

death.
Lavina Akari May 2016
death is my mortal enemy,
for he takes all that i love and leaves me all alone.
but today he is my best friend,
for he is taking me, too
i welcome him.

parasite
Lavina Akari Nov 2013
you smiled at me,
buried yourself in me,

I thought I knew you
ran my fingers through your hair
and breathed you in


you buried yourself in me
dug yourself under my skin

you're in my veins

burning through me like fire -
pain, but not the good kind,

I tried to like it, but it wasn't working

you vanished from my sight but
I still felt you burning through me.
heating my heart and my fingertips
in all the wrong ways


I tried to expel you - bleed you out
I cut myself open and
crimson rivers ran over my skin
yet you wouldn't leave
you are still in my veins
I have not known pain like this


I am getting there, my sweet fire
I can bleed for you in a bath
I can try to water you down.

love me back
Lavina Akari Jul 2013
with a heart
as sensitive as yours
you can never be too safe

as gentle as a butterfly
and as fragile as a flower

i kiss your cheek
as if i am kissing the soft spot
on a newborn baby's head

and blessed is the woman
to touch you as if you are made of glass

i wanted to stay
but you didn't want the same

so i ripped the wings off the butterflies
and tore the flower petals off one by one
and i dropped your heart from my window
so it shattered into a million pieces

and i hope you felt every bit of it

summary
Lavina Akari Aug 2015
it started early 2012 in the late afternoon
some girl told him she liked him he said 'i love you too'
i opened cutlery drawers trying to find a knife
and i spent the whole night wanting to end my life.
this went on for some months and then i lost my appetite
i couldnt stop the voices, what im thinking wasn't right.

but, two years on here i stand
wounds all healed but they still hurt, oh man...

you see there's some strength i found
think it belonged to someone else
i sat and drank it on my own
watching all the other girls
i felt it coursing through my veins but
everything, it felt the same
this numbness in the pain - i'm so tired of this game

but, two years on here i stand,
i'm still not 6 feet in the ground
my head it hurts but earlier on i found these great pills

you see i met this girl sometime you see her head it was a mess
and her body, so so small, it weighed a lot less
than my leg, my anything but she isn't here anymore
i'll read her little note, i've read it 16 times before

'simple things might be a chore, like breathing, showering and feeding,
but i simply don't have energy, and right now, i am bleeding.
depression comes with a knife but all i have is this spoon'
then she looked into the sky and whispered 'nana, i'll see you soon'

not much later mother walked in and there, she was found
and now she's sleeping happily, deep under the ground

this isn't right, for anyone
she should be out having fun
smiling, spinning in the sun
but, i guess, life isn't for everyone

i think im lucky, think God loves me
cause i thought that i would die,
told myself i wasn't worth it but that was a ******* lie

because three years on, here i stand
i love myself, i love me cause i can
i think you should love yourself too
with your pretty little eyes the shades of blue
your hands are shaking, mine are too
but please, hold on i promise you, that i will hold you,
help you as much as i can. but its a one-man battle and i can only pick up pieces
i need to call someone for help, God i hope someone can reach us
this i a song i wrote early last year and finished tonight and thought I'd upload it for you to read.

Death
Lavina Akari Mar 2016
i can still see you, no matter how hard i scrub this eraser
your face won't go away.
it's almost as if your death has been tattooed to the backs of my eyelids and some sick ******* has scribbled your name on every wall of this broken home.

i cut your name into my skin so i wouldn't forget it
but now it's the only thing i can seem to remember.

every day i wake up and i see you die,
i eat my breakfast and i listen to your heartbeat come to a halt.
i go outside and i hear your fading laughter in the warm breeze.
you're in every empty room playing the piano,
touching the keys so gently as if they are made of glass.
when the burning sun sets and dresses the world in shades of oranges and pinks i see your coffin being lowered into the ground and when the beautiful dawn breaks over us i don't see you rise with it.
you die in my dreams, you die when i'm awake, you die in every sapphire in every drop of water you die in the skies and the dirt and the raging fires that burn everything i love to the ground. you die in the dazzling storms, you die in the calm, you die in the night and the day and you die every day, day after day.

everywhere i go, i see you die.
you won't rest, aren't you tired of dying?
i want to move past you, but you're stuck in my brain

homesick.
Lavina Akari Apr 2016
I've stayed in a lot of houses in my life, none of which I ever intended to stay for long.
Most of them open easily - there are no locks
just welcoming hosts, always with that same perfidious smile on their face.
They expect me to fall at their feet but they don't know yet that
I am the drug and they are the addict and when they whip up a whirlwind to drag me in I show them how much of a ******* hurricane I really am.
You see, I jump door to door
because my own house is haunted.
maybe once it was a home, but it is now unrecognisable.
All with locks and the windows are sealed shut, it's filled from basement to attic with ghosts who are mourning their losses and grudging their mistakes.

I don't know whether I'm locked in or locked out, and I can't tell you which is worse.

Lavina Akari Aug 2014
around this time last year
you were asleep because you fell down the stairs

i waited at a meteor shower and wished for you and
you awoke the next day, but then you went away

this year i went and wished on you again
please come back, i miss you so

your brittle bones must have strengthened by now

i can't wait to see you,
i'll see you soon
Oh, Xavier, when will you come home

I will be free

I will be a flightless bird

i want to be able to write about
how complete you make me feel and i want
to be able to write beautiful poetry about how much love you give me and how
wonderful you make me feel but you do
not make me feel complete at all you make me feel more broken than i have ever been before and i beg you for love and you will not give me a drop and anything you do give me i am convinced it is fake but i take it anyway.

me, the sea
Lavina Akari Jul 2013
the sea is fierce and cannot control his anger. he is verocious, but he is beautiful
when the sea is calm and quiet and needs no one
people surround him
everyone wants to see his beauty, feel it, breathe it

but when the sea becomes sad - angry, maybe
and needs to be calmed because his own God has abandoned him
where is everyone?
no one comes near him, he is not beautiful anymore

people have yet to reach the depths of the sea
and pull out the mystery hidden deep within him. people do not yet know how to find the dark secrets at the bottom of his mind

                                    I am the sea.

Lavina Akari Apr 2016
you touched me and it
set
   my
skin
             alight
and in the frenzy of the moment
i looked through the flickering flames
and kissed your smiling face.
i thought this was me,
finally warm,
finally safe
and finally alive, but
now it's been a month
and these burns aren't even close to scabbing and the scars that they leave will be deeper
than any trauma i have previously endured.

this ended before it began but
fire burns the body
incredibly quickly and now
my heart has blackened and throbs and i
watch you stand and marvel at your magnificent artwork.
you have incinerated my will to live.

i thought you could be my home,
my house had burned to the ground, but then
i remembered you were the one
who lit
      the
                         match.

Lavina Akari Mar 2016
i stole the constellations
from the inky sky and spent hours
stitching them into my snow white flesh.
i dazzle and shine but now the heavens
are darker than my thoughts and
the unilluminated sky cries to me
woeful of their loss.

the moon, you see, she's so alone,
and it grieves her to think of her children
so far from home.

these diamonds look beautiful on me
but they cannot tell their story when they are
trapped underneath the itching sleeves of my sweater.

i never knew what it felt to have a heart until i met you, and i realised it was the best thing in the world to have
i finally knew what it meant to feel invincible

but when you left
i realised a heart was the worst thing in the world to have
i finally knew what it meant to hurt and i could not convince myself
that my heart was not broken

and now i have realised that
the best way to keep your heart from being broken
is to pretend you do not have one

she found a spot in her heart
where withered plants still fought to survive
the rest of her heart was dirt
soft, but dry


when he met her
he kissed her chest
and with each kiss he planted a seed
so she could grow to love herself


he nurtured them well
and the withered plants survived
and he opened the door to her heart
and let in rays of light

suffocating
Lavina Akari Mar 2016
a box,
so small my limbs are tangled and tied and bent in all directions
to fit me in.
i want to speak up, to scream and say something
but i am crushing my own lungs to the point where i can't even form a
whisper.

i love them all
i love them all
i love them all
but this small box can only fit one.

i beg to be bought a new one so we may all hold hands
but the only thing i am holding is a beating heart and in order to change i must
crush it between my fingers and lap up the blood that
runs down my arm.

i have always been clumsy so loving someone
who is made of glass is a challenge i am not yet prepared for.
yet here i am, and here i want to be.
sorry doesn't fix anything but I am truly sorry

i am hollowed bones that are completely pervaded with disease that causes them to be heavy. i've managed to drag my slowly decaying mind and my rotting body out of bed every afternoon but i feel like i'm languishing in some form of purgatory where i died a thousand years ago but my heart, although ridden with misery, is still beating and i've spent an eternity on hands and knees in some attempt to reduce the agony i am in. my suffering seems to imbue some sense of gratitude into those who surround me, for they are lucky they are not a walking corpse with a soul, aren't they?

the ending
Lavina Akari May 2016
desire is the cause of all suffering
it is a molotov cocktail
waiting
for someone to come along and place
hope in your hands before exploding and tearing you to shreds.

this perpetual nightmarish life is not one i would wish upon anyone, and all of my regrets reflect off of the scars that i will wear on my soul for all eternity.

no passerby can even simply ameliorate
the heartache i feel in my sunken chest,
and my ribs sit too tightly
around my poor heart.
my body has given up on me, and now i want the release of death more than i want
love and
acceptance and to be
understood and to be
saved.

there is nothing here for me, you see.
and there never will be.

touch.
Lavina Akari Apr 2016
originally, I just wanted to *******. there
was something so appealing
about the thought of you,
on hands and knees,
completely at my mercy.
after a while, however, I found myself
on my own hands and knees, and it is not a position I have ever liked being in.
I got greedy, instead of asking
to *******, I'd ask to love you
and instead of imagining us tangled up together singing in vowels,
I'd listen to my own heartbeat
chanting love songs inside its cage.
Whatever poison you soaked your tongue in has ravaged my mind and replaced every important piece with your face
and now i can't even go to my favourite places or read my favourite poems,
without thinking of you.
I never knew how good I was at begging
until I was kneeling in front of my God pleading to let you stay in my life and telling him about how often I fantasise about
your lips crashing against mine.
this tastes like a new type of euphoria and it's one that requires no touch,
and oh how I hope it's eternal.

I don't want my friends to understand me.
I don't want them to understand my pain and 'know how I feel'.

I want them to stutter at a loss of words when I cry in their
arms because I'm so tired of how I feel.
I want them to get angry because I can't shower myself and
I want them to tell me it's stupid how I feel so sad for no reason.
I don't want them to understand when I rip myself apart over a person and
I shake in front of them because I won't stop bleeding,
I want them to ask me why I have to be like this and apologise
how they can't help me because they don't get it,
they say they don't understand mental illness and they think it's dumb.

Because if they understand

then that means they'll have felt it.

I don't want you to be soft, he said
I want you sharp at every edge
a walking razor blade, with a cold heart

I want to chase you for all eternity
and I never want you to turn around and invite me into your arms

I don't want you to be soft, he said
I didn't want you to love me back
I want you to be the ice my embers are trying to melt
I need you to be the December mornings to soothe the burns from my every day life
I need your winter to be harsh and beat me down

I don't want you to be soft, he said
I don't want to feel your love
I don't want your warm spring or your flowers
I don't want to feel your glow
I want to touch you and bleed, he said
I don't want you to be soft.

sacred.
Lavina Akari May 2016
i am sacred, i am a ******* temple and no one is allowed inside of me.
you are not allowed inside of me, be it between my legs or inside my brain. the last time you were inside me you forced poetry down my throat and we fell asleep but when i woke up in the morning choking you were nowhere to be found. you had fled and left me to drown in your lies. my walls are crumbling and i am inside re-plastering my skull and i do not appreciate your nose knocking down my hard work. when i ask for silence i do not expect noise, white noise like flies buzzing around inside my brain driving me insane. i just want silence. when i ask for love i do not expect to be handed a shrivelled and frozen heart and i did not say you could rip my beating pump from my chest. i did not want us to swap so you could go and love someone else and i was stuck with no emotions, incapable to feel anything. i did not ask to turn blue. when i told you to **** me i meant **** me, not with me. my head is not an orifice for you to stuff your ******* and false hope into. my head is a ******* galaxy filled and flooded with ideas and beauty and it is pristine and i do not appreciate your ***** fingerprints spoiling what i have spent years creating. i am sacred, if you are not chosen you are not allowed to enter and i expect you to take no for an answer, especially if i have repeated it four times. you do not have my permission to shove your anything into my anywhere because i am perfect and you are nothing and you will not make me feel like it is the other way around. you are supposed to look with your eyes, not your hands and you are to admire and not criticise because you know nothing of art. i am art.

depression
Lavina Akari Jul 2014
i became infected

i allowed sadness in like the oxygen i breathe
it seeped through my lungs and soon it was rushing
through my bloodstream

i can feel it, oh my goodness it hurts
  so much

but very quickly it stopped me feeling at all,
like painkillers
everything was numb but i knew it was wrong and i had to get it out
the doctors wouldn't give me medicine to drain it,
so i tried to drain it myself

if it is swimming in my veins i must get it out
my blood will renew itself and clean
so i cut myself open, again and again
and again.                   (and again)
tried to let it wash out as red ran down my body
so my veins would be cleaned of this parasite inside
tried to spit it up with my meals and burn it out of my skin

but its so big
and i am so small
it surpassed all of my attempts and stayed in my body
now the pain i feel is physical too

imagining how safe i’ll one day be in your bed, our bed. trying to guess your eye colour and gender. lying in the dark of the night laying on your chest, humming along to your heartbeat whilst you dream next to me. retracing the same lines on your skin a thousand times over. in the dark of the night fumbling through our love.

i was gasping and choking on *****
and i realised that my suicide was
not to be a pleasant one
it was to be difficult and
it was to be excruciating and
it was to be ugly and
every single second was to be a misery
i was to die feeling the same way i felt
during life

— The End —
