****** discomfort and sensual pain

be inside my being
and see me

Clenching Fists
Leah Shatzer Nov 2018
Clumsy heart
and a cluttered brain
all I seem to feel is pain
I take the blade, slide it down my wrist
and clench my catastrophic fist
I'm not okay, I'm not alright
I think about dying all day and all night
I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad
but for a long time now
I've been so so sad
but mom, you're not here
and dad, you don't care
and unfortunately I'm not all that scared
to take the blade
slide it down my wrist
and unclench my catastrophic clenching fist

Set Me Free
Leah Shatzer Jul 2017
Yesterday I loved you
And the day before too
But the last time you loved me was about a year or two
You had the eyes of the ocean
The perfect color blue
And it's funny because now that blue is always my mood
Your soul just soaked into mine like the sea
And now everywhere I look you're all I can see
I'm begging you to just let my love free
I'm begging you to just set me free
Because yesterday I loved you
And the day before too
But when you set me free
All I have is to love me

Perspective
Leah Shatzer Jul 2017
To me;
He is everything.
He aligns like the constellations in the night sky
Telling me what's wrong and what's right and exactly how to get by
To him;
I am nothing.
I am one simple star
That he knows will never go very far.

Electric
Leah Shatzer Jul 2017
Your electric soul sets sparks to my subtle heart
And the fire that is held in your eyes sometimes threatens to tear me apart
One delicate touch and you set my mind a blaze
Loving you is like being lost in a haze

Waste Of Time
Leah Shatzer Jul 2017
I've written this over and over but the words never seem to justify everything you are.
They only sum up who I am.
They are bleak and full of loneliness and even if you read in between the lines you can conclude that I am nothing more than an empty space to make this ******* letter seen full.
And maybe that's the problem with me.
Maybe I'm always going to be the one who goes in between everyone's lives so they have stories to tell, but I don't have a story of my own.
I'm the fill in.
And so I suppose that's why you left me because I was useless to your story now because you met her who is smart and beautiful and has the potential to write her own masterpiece.
So go ahead and forget me because I know I was and never will be nothing more than someone to fill your sparingly lonely nights and your sparse boring days.
I know I will never be more than a waste of time.

— The End —
