when the night met the day
Lily Mills Oct 2015
When she sees him
it feels as if she has fallen down the rabbit hole
her heart pounds out of her chest at the sound of his voice.
overwhelmed
emotions overtake all logic
day is night and night is day
two souls were never so star crossed
he was the darkness
she was the light
one could not be without the other
and together they created beautiful masterpieces in the sky
but their togetherness was always so fleeting
moments that could not fully be captured
one always hoping to catch the other
always wishing their time together could last longer
but time never stood still long enough.

Blurred Lines
Lily Mills Oct 2015
I’m screaming your name
but no noise comes out.
The air is suffocating
Walls are crashing down around me
I'm lost in this world
It's moving so fast.
Just Blurred lines
solid figures.
I need you to hear me

All that it took
Lily Mills Aug 2014
All it took was a glance
a quick look out the corner of my eye
I was spiraling
I didn’t know
what to do
what to say
who to be
who you were
at that moment
so much time had passed
we were different you and I
both of us lost in this big world
not really sure what to do
one of us more so than the other
you seemed okay without me
but I wasn’t okay without you
You purposely hurt me
flirting with other girls in front of me
taking names, numbers
we were supposed to be “friends”
even though we could never be friends
we liked each other
or so I thought
It worked so well
but failed so hard
Im stuck on you
and a glance was all it took.

Heavy nights
Lily Mills Jun 2014
Heavy eyelids,
Sleepless nights,
Trying to fill a void within,
Cold toes,
socks on,
A stranger settles in

rememberance
Lily Mills Jun 2014
I remember that it hurt, seeing you hurt.
These lives we lead so different but intertwining;
Each filled with its own pain and anguish.
I don't want it to hurt.
I just want everything to be the way it was before
When I was slowly falling for you
When there wasn't a care in the world
There was only you & I
But right now,
everything hurts.
Being with you hurts.

Frozen
Lily Mills Nov 2013
My toes are numb,
My fingers ice.
I'm freezing like the winter ground.
There's a drafty window the resides within.
I can only hope to feel warm again.

Tick-Tock
Lily Mills Nov 2013
tick*           I cannot be the one who saves *you,
tock          for I cannot save myself.

tick           My happiness is not the issue,
tock          it's the darkness that breeds within.

tick           Dreams turn into Nightmares,
tock          always drowning in the end.

tick           Gasping for  breath,
tock          tight hands around my neck.

tick           A flashing white light
tock          before the darkness surrounds me.

tick           There's a monster in my closet,
tock          please don't let it in.

tick           My blank expression
tock          scares you.

tick          Well, I'm too *scared to  
tock          let you in.

tick           My thoughts are filled with turmoil,
tock          hidden from all I know.

tick           I don't know how to express myself but,
tock          I'm feeling rather numb

tick           You're all sitting,
tock          waiting for my explosion,









                                         ­                                       and time is running out...

Pendulum
Lily Mills May 2013
Life passes by like a pendulum swinging...  
Back and forth...
Back and forth...
Fast at first, but eventually slowing to a halt..
Where it stops until it's able to begin again...

Bound to the Sky
Lily Mills May 2013
I want to be the tips of the branches of the tallest tree..
Forever touching the sky,
Wind constantly flowing around me...
Through me.
Apart of the earth
But skyward bound...

Alone
Lily Mills May 2013
I'm alone.
Secluded.
Left with only my thoughts.
The barren cold environment fills my lungs with frigid winter air.
Sharp and painful.

Fear
Lily Mills Jan 2013
It is the fear
of not having anyone to go home to at night,
being alone;
that is what keeps a person from achieving their true aspirations,
their dreams,
their personal legend…
It’s the nightmares that wake you from your slumber,
the monsters in the closet,
and the shadows of the night.
Fear,
it is the root of all obstacles,
because we must first face them to persevere.
You have to take into account that
great love and great achievements
involve great risk.

Lessons
Lily Mills Jan 2013
It is the lessons I have learned
morals I have developed
that lay the foundations and structures of who I am,
who I have been,
and who I am becoming.

Caged
Lily Mills Jan 2013
I wish I could get over you…
I wish I could forget the way I fit perfectly in your arms..
the way we fit together like puzzle pieces...
I wish I could forget the taste of you on my lips…
I wish I could forget the way I left you,
the way you made me feel…
I wish I could just forget you,
and all you did…
I wish I could get over you…

Maybe he's exactly what I need...
We both know its true,
so release me of these chains,
unlock this cage,
free me of my pain...
I don't want to hurt any more.

Forget
Lily Mills Nov 2012
Words cannot describe the way I feel.
feel.feel.feel?

                     fell?
Fall. I have fallen.
There's no turning back now.
I am alone.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
fall? fell? feel?
How do I feel again?

Condensations
Lily Mills Nov 2012
Who's to say what's
Real or not?

What is fact and
Fiction?

Where is the line
Where fiction becomes
Reality?

Is reality not what we
Make of it?

Do we not live in the
Condensations
Of millions, billions of Imaginations?

Are our dreams
Reality?

Text books
Lily Mills Oct 2012
And in the end,
we all end up as just another name on the inside cover of a text book...
Nothing but a distant memory,
to be swept under the rug of history.

Someday
Lily Mills Oct 2012
Someday,
when this world isn't so grey
and these skies pass me by.
When all of these worries say good bye...
Someday when the earth stops falling from between these fingers,
and these tears fall far away...
When blue eyes take over my sky
Falling into the dark black night
where my nightmares begin.
Someday when we lay there surveying our past ... When aging speeds
and the heart slows to that final moment.
Ending with one synchronized exhale...
Into the shadows,
into this worlds earth,
into the forever of our never
when we go into the light...

Technicolor
Lily Mills Oct 2012
This monochrome life is nothing without your light.
The colors pour from your finger tips as you frolic about.
The carelessness of your touch creates new brilliance.
To tame you would be detrimental, but to free you would be exquisite.
They try to hide you away and hinder the  beauty
you could create with their monochrome ideals.
Monotone voices and monochrome people,
surrounding and clustered
to catch a glimpse of such a sight is like
watching the soft sun light trickle through the tree tops.
The beauty you are able to expel is like no other you love in spite of everything else.
You shed your light on the cruelest of nights.
Paint the colors of life into everything you see,
and strip away the melancholy of everyday routines.
So happy so lovely so free.
It's time to color our lives withe the beauty of of our imagination...

— The End —
