You say you love me more
You always doubt my want and need for you
But when a day goes by
Where we can't be with each other
And we don't speak much
It breaks me down
Depresses me
Until the next moment I'm with you
Because that's when I feel security
You're the light in my life
Without you it's dark
You're the pillow I rest my head on
In the middle of the night
Your voice and your touch
Soothes me and stops time
The lonely days make me short of breath
I hate it when you're not by my side
I simply can't live without you
Yet you always question this love of mine
I wish you'd understand
I wish you would believe me
You're everything I want
You're all that matters to me

Maybe you have writer's block
Because you feel in life, you're stuck
You've spun your web of very deep lies
That's why you crawl in bed and cry
You can't escape the harm you've done
And now you're alone and have no one
You've lost yourself in fantasy land
A world you created that's got out of hand
You should rethink your actions and get over your pride
Or else all that'll be left for you to do is hide
Eventually the truth will come out and be
If only you knew that it'd set you free
You live in fear and it's ruining your life
It's like you've been stabbed with a really sharp knife
Just like the one you shoved in people's hearts
The day they found out that you were just playing a part
Be your true self, it's time to come clean
Heal your own spirit and truly be seen

I wish I knew an older man
One that wouldn't be afraid to hold my hand
He'd be mature and wise
The very best of all the guys
For once, I would be taken care of
And there would be nothing else above
We'd love each other and communicate
Leave no room for grudges and hate
An older man would have all the experience
He would want nothing but to be serious
We'd go out on special dates
Sometimes stay home and stay up late
It'd be a functioning relationship
Something normal yet attached to the hip
I wish I knew an older man
One that wouldn't be afraid to hold my hand

My thoughts are my own
My creativity is mine to express
I will share with you what I choose
You will not violate me
You will not invade my mind
Do not read my poetry
It is like my diary
If you love me
Respect me
I can't afford a therapist
I'm not comfortable telling everything
To my biased parents
Writing is my release
My poetry is mine
It is the expression
Of my deepest, darkest thoughts
And it is my decision
When I choose to let you know
Everything that I'm thinking
And the feelings I do not show
Do not cross this line again
For next time
I won't tolerate the violation
Just tired of people going out of their way to find my poetry and read it.

I'm so done with the worthless arguments
And the childish petty fights
I am finished being blamed for it all
I am not selfish
You have me wrong
I was a fool to think you'd ever be mature
The way you act like a **** on purpose
And your vindictive manner and combative spirit
Is more than a turn off
Hanging around you only brings tension
You were supposed to be my lover
You were supposed to be my best friend
Now you're just my enemy
It's exhausting trying to keep up with you
Everything is wrong, no matter what I do
You twist and turn nothing into something it was never intended to be
I'm sick of being thought of as always angry
It's just getting to be impossible to make you happy
I don't believe I can continue walking in your shadow
With your hurtful and harmful words beating down on me
Day after day
Night after night
Give it a rest already
Not everything is a fight

Ex
My ex-boyfriend is smart
He can talk about anything
He teaches me things
He's enlightening
And he sparks my interest in worldly topics
I wouldn't otherwise think about

My ex-boyfriend is kind
He's understanding
He's sensitive
He's supportive
And he comforts me in ways
Others really can't

My ex-boyfriend is easy to look at
He has nice hair
He has a cute face
He has sweet eyes
And a sincere smile
That makes you want to smile back

Nowadays, on the rare occasions
He and I get to hang out
I find myself questioning
Why it is I left him in the first place
Not much of a poem, but just random thoughts I have as I see my ex move on to someone new. I wouldn't say I want him, but I guess I forgot for a little while how great he truly is. He will always have a special place in my heart. He was my first, after all.

Can't you see
That without you
I am empty
A day without you
Is like a year without rain
A terrible drought
Feeling nothing but pain
It's harder to breathe
When you're not around
I wish you would realize
That without you I'm down
You lift my spirits
You take me higher
I want you forever
You're all I desire
Don't let me go
And give me a chance
I was made for you
To give you this romance
See me for who I truly am
And never stop loving me
Let's come together
And embark on this journey
