Hello there
How are you
I just wished to enlighten you
Splitting apart our community isn't something I would suggest
We won't go down without a fight
We won't be the sheep that you guessed
Rolling over and becoming a bridge
For your muddied feet to walk on
Well
That's something we'll resist
Take a look back
Back into history
We love our community
Love our school
Even that bad times
We love it here
Grew up with much juevenille cheer
We have walked these halls for many a year
Eve and morning
It wasn't all that boring
We enjoy it
So never fear
Your plan is trashed
All out of whack
You'll sure see us all back next year
If any of you are in Youngstown city schools you know what I'm talking about.

Tick Tock

Tick tock goes the clock
Fallen down its over now
Gettin sick
Tired of this
Half alive
All the time
Another face
Out of place
Out of time

Beaten and bruised
Purple and blue
From the weary loss of sleep
Sleep that before I did not need

Harmony in the keys
Tap
Tap
Tapping
A melody that makes you sway
Washing over you
All of your aches will fade
You will go dancing away
Lighter than air
Without a care
As the tap
Tap
Tapping caresses your ears

Midnight Killing
Lilly frost Nov 2015
Red teardrops
Throughout the night
Collect in a pool
Reflecting amber light
You've been vicious and cruel
Blood stained knife
It lays across your chest
As you lay beside your wife
Three abreast

Music
Lilly frost Nov 2015
Faster
Faster
Speed up my heart
Play it louder
I'll be stronger
When once again
It is night
Play the songs who's tempos don't stop
Who match the beating of your heart perfectly
Pounding your chest
Coursing through your blood

18
You have no talents
Well sir I actually do
You have no skills
Sir you haven't met me still
I have lived with you for years
You don't know my favorite color or if I've even pierced my ears
How could you be so nieve?
How could you be so cruel?
Jokes on you I'm kicking you out at 18
I'll leave before you ask me
Impossible you're not leaving until you're ready to go*
Well sir I have been ready for a long time

Normality
Lilly frost Mar 2017
Sad eyes
They don't work anymore
Tears fill
They fall over silently
Small silver waterfalls
Running down reddened cheeks
Collecting under the small pointed chin
Wavering in the wind
Before they fall down
Watering the ground
Darling
Sad eyes don't work anymore
The poison in your tears has salted the dirt
The once lush green grass is now dry and brown
It used to bring pain into my heart
To see your sad eyes
Now tears are becoming normal
Your heart as dead as the grass
Now when you cry
I know you're simply a collected mess
Push away the mirror
Look not at your ruined face
Tears and dirt curving down your cheeks
You've seen this a million times
You will see it a billion more
Tears falling down like raindrops
Trailing behind you on the floor

Fireflies

Johnny
Lilly frost Oct 2015
We carried Johnny home
Past the sycamore tree
A bullet sized hole apparent in his chest
A scarlet blanket covering his breast
A trail of red on grey stone
Followed Johnny home
Up to the door we marched poor Johnny
Just a child was he
We carried Johnny to his home up in the mountainside
His mother waiting there
Her face pale and scared
We carried Johnny home to his mother in the mountains
Hardly a word could he speak
He said I love you mum but I must go
I must go back down that road
Past the sycamore tree
For I can fight for myself and everyone else
And none shall fight for me
There Johnny lay
his fierce words ringing in everyone's minds
His mother reached down and gently shut his eyes
She said
Burry him in the battle field
Forever there he shall lie
Fighting for those who walk on earth
For the only peace hell have is if he's doing something great
So we carried Johnny down back past the sycamore tree
To lay poor Johnny to rest
The scarlet blood gone from his chest
Musket laid 'cross his breast
People wept
For that lost boy
For Johnny
Another child lost to the war
Bound to protect those who are in need
Bound to protect those he can
Bound in death and blood to the promise he made us all

Sweet Dreams
Lilly frost Apr 2017
I know better than to fall asleep
Deep sweet sleep
Ceremoniously swept away onto a red carpet behind my eyes

Why is the carpet red
Why can't I see
Nothing but red trails and dark black emptiness staring at me
Where am I
How did I get here

I follow the trail faithfully never knowing where now it will lead
A sweet dream
Long lost lullaby
Maybe I won't see anything until sunrise

Oh what a fool
How could my mind ever be so sweet
No
I follow blood
Dragging along behind my eyes
Because I couldn't meet my sleepless demise
Now I am stuck inside
Following the bloodlines
To my nightmares
Waiting for me to arrive

In the forest
Lilly frost Nov 2015
For a slight of hand
You may be found
In the forest
Birds chirping all 'round
Stabbed through the heart
Tied to the ground

Patience
Lilly frost Jul 2019
What is give for his kind of love
The unconditional, irreplace, we're untouchable kind of love!
The keeps you breathing, only thing you'll be needing kind of love!
To be fair even in the freshest of air, to your kiss it cannot compare
To have you I can only imagine what we could do

But wait I must and wait I will
For weeks and days and hours
For years I'll pretend you stopped to pick up flowers
For you I will wait, for your love
That untouchable, irreplaceable, unconditional, can't get enough kind of love...

I'm Not

A person that wants to hear
A person that wants to be heard

Goner

Somebody catch my breath
Spewing from my lips
Lifeless and cold
Please save my last breaths
Bury them with me like gold
So that one day
I may once again use them

Winter
Lilly frost Dec 2015
Snow
Sparkling
Unmarked
Until a car drives by…
Air
Cold
Numbing
Until you turn and go inside...
Wind
Whistling
Tearing through the trees
Until the storm ends…
What I love about winter and what I hate about winter in the city.

Soldier
Lilly frost Apr 2016
Remember  when I cried?
When people died?
You held me tight
So I could continue the fight
I offered to carry you too
But you were a soldier in your own right
Marched on and on
Straight into the light
252 · Dec 2015
Green for christmas
Lilly frost Dec 2015
Green comes in waves
Rolling over the ground
Slinking through the trees
Hiding in between branches
Meant to be buried in snow
It's too warm
To be winter
There is no cold
There is no white
There is no grey
Only green

Dust

Hush and shush
Close your eyes
Just let go
Take a dive
Do not fear
If you'll survive
Whats the point of having a life
If you don't live it?

Family
Lilly frost Jun 2017
Once again the shovel hits the ground  blood oozing out
Drip
Drip
Dripping down
Grey gravestones
Staring unforgiving
As you condemned yet another
Violence among each other
Brother against brother
'till you decide to lay him with your mother

Someday
Lilly frost Sep 2019
Bestowed by a summers dream
A winters sleep
A falls cool sigh
And a springs daring eye
To lead with a love like no other
To cry with tears of paths torn assunder
To help and love and throw it all away, just dreaming about someday
But someday is never now and someday is never tomorrow
But someday just one-day I'd like to live like someday could be tomorrow
In an hour, a minute, a second
I'd like a chance where I wouldn't go and wreck it
A time, a place, a segment of space where I can find a someday
A someday to be
To live without need or want or worry
Where I can float in life instead of hurry
To live and breathe calm serenity
To fix an aimless path
And be by just being
Instead of forced believing in a tomorrow when tomorrow never comes
Everyday is the same day
No love is true love and even if it were its not my love
Because who could find love in aimless wandering?
Who could love a creature with no direction?
Who knows not head from foot or ceiling from ground.
Because of a someday I will dream until tomorrow
For a life that was earned and never meant to borrow
248 · Jun 2015
Homocide
Lilly frost Jun 2015
A gunshot
That your body caught
Fell to the ground
A ringing sound
Pool of blood
A heavy thud
Empty eyes
Silent cries
Wasn't ready
Hold me steady
Flashing light
This isn't right
Sirens screaming
No more dreaming
246 · Jun 2015
A Child
Lilly frost Jun 2015
A child has everything to give
A child can't run out of words
For they have yet to say something truly important
A child is an unsuspected weapon
A forgotten source of innocence
Of insight
Most of all
Pure humanity
245 · Jun 2015
Nonsense
Lilly frost Jun 2015
A nonsense poem
A nonsense song
A nonsense line
A nonsense rhyme
Nonsensical nonsense
Time after time
Just for something
Something to write

Safe Keeping
Lilly frost Jul 2016
Phony crosses
Phony faith
Around my neck as a favor
I have sworn to keep it safe
No I'm not religious
No I'm not Christian
For you my friend you must know
I'll keep it with me
Even if turned to stone
When you come home seek me out
For you I will have your hold your last hope
Your token of luck
It may seem silly to those around
That a cross on a chain of silver would indeed be profound
But it was in the hands of those who you loved
The dying ones passing on their unused days of good luck

For I
Lilly frost Jun 2015
Masquerade of hate
Revenge is my favorite game
Don't forgive
Don't forget
I have no regrets
I am the king of remorse
Though I don't  feel a thing
I'm sorry that I'm not sorry
I don't know what you're talking about
Swear I didn't do a thing
Perfect angel child
My past isn't far behind me
Ill go back someday
Ill play
Ill play
All of your stupid little games
Ill try and ill try
I will get by
Rise to the top
I believe
I believe
I will accomplish my dreams
I swear
Masquerade of hate
Success is my favorite game

Freedom
Lilly frost Nov 2015
I am not obsessed
Not with water
Not with the sky
It is simply love
Yes
I am in love
How each is free
To do what they wish
At any time
Day or night
How waves may crash and pound
Though a moment later they are silent
How the sky may never be defined in height
For it houses all 'stars' millions of light years away
I am not obsessed with either
Just in love
For each can do what they wish
Though one is on the ground
And one is far above
I didn't really know how to describe the freedom of the sky so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You Say...
Lilly frost Nov 2015
You say that you are worthless
Ugly...

Well I say you're invaluable
Beautiful
Priceless...

You say you are crazy
Demented...

Well I say you're sane
Sensible...

You say to hate you
I simply cannot
There's too much to love
Don't try to downplay yourself
Your value
Your sanity
Your beauty...
232 · Oct 2015
Love...
Lilly frost Oct 2015
Crime doesn't pay
Well enough to take away
All of the pain
Money down the drain
A single kiss
A feeling of bliss
Because that kiss was from you
I feel brand new
Fall today
No reason to stay
Out of love
Not sent from above
No other way
Nothing else to say
231 · Jun 2019
The Twist
Lilly frost Jun 2019
For those who fall fast
Past the pits of time to those depths of mind
For those who refuse and refuse the refuge of a single thought in which they are sane
A changing mind is no enemy
A turning heart can tear apart the brightest of suns or the darkest of seas
A changing mind may leave behind a life unadored
But open your eyes to a life that was left unexplored
228 · Jun 2015
Just because
Lilly frost Jun 2015
You aren't a failure
Just because you fail
You don't break bones
Just because you fall
You don't die
Just because your heart stops

Will You Return
Lilly frost Jun 2015
An empty house
Desolate and lonely
Waiting
Breezes carrying dust through
Tearing down cobwebs
Sweeping away memories
When the house is empty
When the house is cleansed
Free of every reminder
Of your painful past
Will you return?
222 · Jun 2015

I'm sad
I try not to show it
And if I cry I just might blow it
The truth it lies behind my eyes
Under my sleeves
My friends
They stop me
I am loved forever and always
By them
I will be happy I will show
These little things
They are not worth it
So ill try to be happy
Ill try to show it
But if they speak to me again
I just might blow it

Collection

Out of ideas
Not out of words

With no connection

Jumbled in my head
A collection of words

Ghosts

Maybe
Lilly frost Oct 2015
I laugh at what I see
People read
Oh yes
They read
They may appreciate my words
Just not the way I write them
Maybe
Just not the words I use
Maybe
Just not the style or my repetition
Maybe
But...
They read and they know
What I say is what I mean
And it comes straight from my heart
