Hysterical
Emily Mar 2014
It's funny how you say you don't need me
You don't want me
You don't love me
Yet all you do is try and stalk me
And see what I am saying
And what I am up to
Haha
I'll just laugh at you
And your typical lies

you
Emily Jun 2014
you
you make the handle look appealing
you make the bottle of pills look like the answer
what a perfect combination for death that they make together
you make me want to leave the earth
you make tears fall from my eyes at a rate they never have before
maybe on the other side things will be better
maybe on the other side you won't have all the power
call me an idiot, call me some more names
it only makes the urge grow much larger
i gulp it all down, one shot together
glass after glass
pill after pill
this is what is left of my free will
i can't live without you
so i might as well die
look what you've done to me
so young yet already saying goodbye
this is so unlike me, so unreal
but without you, life's anything but ideal
i have lost all my strength
and lost all my wits
my sense and my brain were gone forever
when you stole my heart
falling in love is such a trap
it causes more games and heartaches
and i just can't keep track
maybe this is the end
maybe this isn't
i guess it just depends on how toxic this poison is
but it's not the drugs that killed me
it was you

Passion So Extreme
Emily Feb 2014
I made you scream
When we were in bed
The passion was so extreme
No one else could give you
The satisfaction you need
It's why you always came back for more
And why when you touch yourself at night
You think of all the things I did to you
Because I'm sure right now
Your *** life is a bore
I'm the best at your pleasure
No one else does it like me
My passion was so extreme
It's too bad you lost me

waiting for the days
Emily Jan 2015
we are apart for the moment
but now that i've had a taste
my taste buds are shot
i have a taste for nothing else
the fact that you're not around
is brutally killing me
i love you so much
i can barely breathe
i'm lonely without you
i'm worried about everything
you're the only person that can calm me
you're the only one with the power to make me feel better
i wish so desperately to look at you again
to feel my arms around you
to kiss your lips softly
to hold your hand
to hear your laugh
to watch you eat
i want to wake up next to you again
the days we shared together
keep replaying in my head
i'm living for the days we had
and waiting for the days we will share again
you're my everything
no matter what the distance
i will always love you

I want this
Emily Nov 2015
I'm trying to compensate
For the void in my mind
With other people
With other pastimes

Nothing is very satisfying
Especially after I've crossed the line
Now I really wish
That I could just rewind

I wouldn't take advantage
Of the moments we shared
The long nights together
When our eyes would stare

Into each other
I could see your soul
Now I am empty
With nowhere to go

I wish I hadn't given up
I wish I gave us a better chance
Everything seems ruined now
Slim odds of romance

I don't think we can come back
Not from this damage
It's all my fault, I've done it to us
It was too hard to manage

I'm sorry for how I've treated you
Nothing can take back the things I've said
I'm sorry for how I gave up on you
Nothing can take back the things I did

Despite my tragic flaws
You still treat me as if I'm the best
You love me unconditionally
Every day I am blessed

What did I ever do to deserve you
I ask myself why I don't try harder
Why I'm not on my knees begging
Why didn't I act smarter

All these questions
Swimming in my head
I know I want this to last
To clean up all I've bled

Tainted Love
Emily Feb 2014
"Once I ran to you, now I run from you"
Our love disappeared into thin air
Just like our reality disappeared
When we were infatuated with each other
Our love is so strange
But is it even love
Was it even real to begin with
What is this strange connection
That exists between us
Nothing
Everything
I guess we will never know
Because this love takes us no where
And we only seem to create trouble
In each other's lives
I sometimes wish things could be different
But what we had is long gone
And in all honesty
I'm better off without you
Somewhat inspired by the song ******* by Soft Cell.

Ex
Emily Apr 2014
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.

Bullshit

Cutting myself off
From the responsibility

Just going to say goodbye
To the endless *******
That I seem to have immersed myself in

hold my hand
Emily Nov 2015
it's not an unfamiliar touch
but it makes my body tingle
when the slightest brush of your finger
graces the top of my hand
i get a cooling sensation down my back
a smile wide across my face
and butterflies dancing in my stomach

your smile is worthy of a prize
it stems right from the lightness of your eyes
i think it stands out as more than precious
something rare
not often come by
the warmth of your smile
along with the specialness of your touch
is all part of the drawing factor
that brings me closer to you

i want to know you differently now
i want to know you better
i want to be an adult with you
i want to explore all that is your mind
and all that is your body
i want you to explore me just as equally

i love when you look at me
deep into my soul
i wish that i were around you all the time
never having a moment so dull
hold my hand
and tell me you love me
call me baby
tell me our deep thoughts
take me out for talks and long walks
play my favorite movie
and sing my favorite song

i want all that is special in your mind
just please hold my hand
that will be infinitely enough from you
to my special someone that i love so much.

Long nap
Emily Jan 2016
I can feel myself fade away
My body gets weak
I can't even see anymore
Not sure if it's the tears in my eyes
Or the fact that my body may shut down
I called a suicide hotline
But I just hung up
Nothing matters to me now
Except my dog
This doesn't make sense
But I'm scared to leave my dog
I'm super hazy
Haven't eaten
Took a shot
I have work later
Who knows if I'll be awake to go
I don't want to go
I just want to stay under the covers
If that means dying
Then that's what I'll do
Why should I care
to keep a promise for you
You don't care
You think I'm bad
You think I lie
But all I did was give you my heart
I would rather die
Than live like this
I wiped a tear
And another one came down
And another one
I closed my eyes shut
And a few more poured out
This doesn't even make sense
But I think it's the meds
Taking a long nap
And hope it never ends

Fingers
Emily May 2016
I feel such a deep connection
Such spiritual emotion
When I'm with you
I want to feel your kiss
And share my passion
For how I feel about you
No one in this world
Affects me quite like you do
Not in this moment
Not in the past
I want you to be my future
I want to be your woman
Your source of comfort
I want to be your lover
Your source of pleasure
I want to be by your side
Your source of encouragement
I want to look you in the eye
And have you see my devotion
You'll feel my love with my embrace
You'll feel my warmth
With the grace of my lips
I want to feel you next to me
Feel your body against mine
Exchange my feelings for you
Every moment in time
You are a man
And I'm ready to be yours
Tell me what to do
I want to submit to you
You're my man
Don't let me slip through
Your fingers

Not That Girl
Emily Jul 2014
Scorching heat casted upon me
Squinted eyes and drops of sweat
The cold pool, a pleasant shock
Oozing confidence in my bikini
Tan skin, mermaid hair
Behold, this is not my life

Fat
Emily Mar 2015
Fat
I'm disgusting from the inside out
Tormented by something that won't get out
A monster since my childhood
Crippling me with a disease
Convincing me that I'll always be ugly
Stuffing my face with everything imaginable
I'm growing by the minute
The fat comes on and adds to the filth
I'm so disgusting
It's something I'm aware of but I just can't fix
Something I always ignore
I'm used to all its tricks
I'll never get better
This monster will always have a home in me
For every step forward
I take three steps back
I can never win
I will always hate myself
I will always be this way
Gross, fat, and ruined

Sleep
Emily Feb 2014
Fallen into a slump
Can't seem to wrap my mind
Around reality
Around a day's work
Around any obligations
Glued to my bed
Ignoring all the consequences
Of my apathy
The days pass by
Things get worse
Knowingly, I stay put
My bed is nice and warm
Reality is mean and cold
Sleep is my only true comfort

Nights Like This
Emily Feb 2014
Date night
It feels so right
Being with my man
Fun adventures
With the high class
Makes us feel special
Makes us get out
Of our comfort zone
And try something new and fun
Good eats
Intoxicated by drinks
And drunk off our love
Kisses are the cherry on top
Of this perfection
Nights like this are proof
That this love is never ending
At the 2014 Austin Addy Awards with my main man. Hosted by Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman! Happy Sunday:)

my counterpart

oh baby
the way you make me feel inside
is unlike anything i've felt in my entire life
you make me feel excited
you make me feel like i am invincible
like i can take on the world
you make me feel like i'm the only girl
in your beautiful, blue eyes
and you're mine
now that i've got you
i'm on cloud nine
with you, there's only yellow
there is no blue
when i miss you
i look up and think of you
you are the sun
the moon
and all the stars
you are my sky
you are my everything
my whole world
our time together is my favorite
i swear, i knew you in another life
there's no way a bond like the one we share
could come out of no where
this is destiny
this is fate
this is something more
you are God given
you came straight from Heaven
i love you with my entire heart
i worship you with my body
i adore you with every fiber of my being
you are my counterpart in this life
oh baby
i love you

Devilish
Emily Mar 2014
You gross me out
You lied to so many
You got multiple innocent and kind people
To fall in love with you
At the same time
Who do you think you are
Using everyone you come in contact with
But it's worse than just that
Not only did you lie about loving all of us
But you also lied about your name
You lied about your appearance
You betrayed our trust
You betrayed our love
I speak for all of us when I say
We had faith in you
We confided in you
We thought we had something special with you
But it turns out you're just a slob
An excellent liar with the ability to fool many
Starving for attention like it's oxygen
A storyteller, a fraud, a nobody
You're nothing but a creep
I suppose you have to fake it all
In order to get anyone to notice you
Because the real you resembles the devil
A whole awful lot

further away
Emily May 2015
I hate every part of me
I hate going through life that way
I stay awake in the middle of the night
While everyone else is asleep
I sit in a puddle of self loathing

I have no desire to speak to anyone
No desire for that at all
I'm a prison in my own home
I don't want them and they don't want me
What a terrible life to lead

Everyone is finding fault with me
They're always so disappointed
Makes me feel worthless and stupid
Why should I try any longer
I gave up a long time ago

My blood is my refuge
If anybody knows my pain is real, it is me
It is never something they can take away
It is all that I have, the scars and the darkness
Without it, I'm lonely

Don't sit there and tell me that I'm fine
That I have it made
None of that means **** when I'm holding this blade
Your pointless words and hateful glares
The most perfect triggers

Thank you for bringing me closer to my pain
And further away from you
Whatever

i'm sorry
it was wrong of me
because God made you special
you bring me joy
you share jokes
you give me moments
of freedom
when we talk
i feel free
free from the pain i've felt
free from the twisted sadness
i want to be close friends
i know this is just the beginning
but i really care about you
i enjoy my time with you
and how much we have in common
i'm so thankful that i met you
you're such a sweet person
i hope you think the same about me
because right now
you're the only good thing in my life
you're the only person that makes me smile
i find myself wanting to talk to you more and more
thank you for waking up my soul
thank you for giving me something to look forward to
thank you for being my new friend

back in time
Emily Sep 2015
Sometimes you wish you could just go back
Take away all the pain you caused
What you did
And what you said
The mistakes you've made
And the person you became
Sometimes you don't see what's in front of you
You don't realize the importance
Then it's all gone
As if you just flinched
Your life passes before your eyes
But you're not on the brink of dying
You're on the brink of life
You're now aware of how you have nothing
You let it go to waste
All because you were just bluffing
You were fake and you were mean
You ruined people's lives
You acted obscene
You deserve to be lonely
Deserve to have nobody
What goes around
Comes around
And you can't take it back
You can't go back in time
How I feel about myself

Incurable
Emily Mar 2014
It just takes a second
And you've popped back into my head
As if you never even left
It just takes one glimpse
One look at your photograph
And I'm awestruck with how beautiful you are
The image of you takes over
It's always been difficult to understand
The painful longing I have for you  
No, you're not mine
But when I lay my head down at night
That's when you enter my mind
That's when the fantasies begin to take form
When I am no longer in the present
But I'm transported to where
The back of my mind often lingers
A place where you surrender yourself to me
Mind, body, and soul
And my one purpose
Is to make you feel happiness and pleasure
With every breath you take
And every move you make
It's a misfortune
It's a tragedy
How you'll probably never be the one for me
And how I'll most likely never in my life
Get to relish in the fact that I hold the key to your happiness
I believe that I'll forever feel this dissatisfaction
This sickness
There is no cure
If I can't have you

Burning Bright
Emily Feb 2014
I was swimming in a sea
Of confusion and heartache
But all along you were guiding me
Saving me from destruction

I was lost in a dark place
I had trouble understanding life
But you always made me feel safe
And helped me find my way

You are my light at the end
Of the long and cold tunnel
Through this bond, we transcend
Into a beautiful, undying love

This is more than I’ve dreamt of
You give me everything I desire
Truly, you’re my only love
Your heart takes me higher

I only wish to give you the same
Make you feel elation with every kiss
The spark will never leave this flame
We’ll burn brighter than the sun
Another love poem for my valentine.

empty space
Emily Jan 2015
I roll over in this large bed
Only to see that the space next to me is empty
It is where you should be laying
It is where I should be able to look into your eyes
And show you how much I adore you with just one glance
But instead I catch myself staring at the emptiness
Trying to understand how my one true lover lives across the Atlantic
My vision starts to become blurry
My emotions start to run together
And I am left feeling numb and hollow
How I wish I could reach my hand out
And feel your body next to mine
How I wish to feel the warmth of your breath as we speak in close proximity
And as I imagine these things, I feel happiness for a split second
But no, my world is shattered and my heart breaks
As the sudden realization hits that you are not here
I cannot see you, feel you, or hear you
You are elsewhere
And I am here
Broken from our separation
Longing for the next time I see your face
Dreaming of the day that I roll over
And see my love lying next to me
Instead of this empty space
i miss you

all i want to convey
is how much you make my every day
i know we fight, but baby, you're mine
we love each other so much
i hate the distance between us
i dream of your beautiful face
you're so full of grace
the way we met wasn't the most common of circumstances
some would say it was bizarre
but we were definitely brought together for a reason
and now you own my heart
nothing compares to your precious love
nothing is as sweet as your kisses that i dream of
i never knew that i would end up here
loving someone so worthy and pure
you make me feel so happy and secure
i feel so lucky looking into your eyes

you're my darling, my honey

Game Over
Emily Feb 2014
People can get angry all they want
But I had to change my life
I left for a good reason
I was sick of living a lie
You didn't want me when I was around
And now that I've left
You try to put the blame on me
All this hate is simply crazy
I wasn't the one who'd ignore you
I was always there to comfort you
Apparently just when you were bored
Because you always left
Went back to other love interests
Treating me as if I meant nothing
It's not my problem
I was just a piece in your game
You lost me fair and square
Soon I'll forget your name
Along with your face

Anomie
Emily Jul 2014
Betrayal and heartache are the resultant of the most sorrowful of circumstances
It comes from losing yourself in the one you love the most
And losing them as a result of being a complete fool
This duo has a way of eating at the soul
It sneaks up in the most beautiful of disguises
It uses you for your love and your generosity
Planting itself in the thing that attracts you most
It makes you need it to survive
Takes all advantage of you and ***** you dry
Leaving you for dead without a way to sleep, breathe, or function
You've become a soulless body
And a heartless being
A dark feeling of anomie
Depressed and meaningless

That one day we could be friends

When we'd talk on the phone
Go on lunch dates to chat about nothing
Help each other when we were in need

I feel so good
Tucked away in my bed
Warmed by the comforter
Healed by the comfort
It provides me with
My eyes close away the thoughts
That carry on through the day
Thoughts I no longer wish to think
Sleep gives me my dreams
Where I'm who I want to be
Doing what I want to do

Sinking into the mattress
The softness resembling clouds
It's like I've gone to heaven

Lake Montana

She floats on the lake
Bikini top untied
Sipping a beer in one hand
Smoking a cigarette in the other
Talking to me
Sun in her eyes
Squinting into the sky
Her thick accent
An unglamorous moment
But ****, she's never looked better
She makes everything look good
Perfect body and tan skin
I want her right there in the water
But I'm stuck there just watching her
Fantasy land at its best
She makes me feel like such a mess
Always keeps it interesting
There's never a dull moment
Her jokes, her dry humor
Are all the things I love about her
My heart races as she floats to me
She gives me a kiss
I'm stuck in that moment forever
The water is crystal clear
A beautiful sight to see
But fixated on her are my eyes
I'm completely mesmerized

My love for you goes beyond the emotional
Goes beyond the physical
I am in dyer need of your love
Of your pleasure
You are my one desire
The true love of of my life

I want to buy you gifts
I want to do nice things for you without expectation

Emily Feb 2014
You think you're so original
You think you're so unique
But all you do is jump on the bandwagon
And more times than not, you're late

You like bands that are supposedly cool
You take up fads just for show
It's hilarious to watch you do these things
It shows how much you don't even know

You've even copied me a time or two
Actually, more than that
Can't you think of anything on your own?
Then again, you're not fully intact

You're so back and forth
Here and there, it's such a shame
Try thinking on your own for once
Maybe then you wouldn't seem so mundane

It's like an oxymoron
It's really shocking to see
How predictable you are
Your next move is always foretold
You're shockingly predictable

there is no greater happiness
than finding my soul in you
the essence of everything you are
gives me a faith and a belief
that i have never known before
a belief in the good
a faith in a happy future
i've grown to become so attached to you
not by habit or conditioning
but by true commitment
true compatibility
true companionship
i've never seen someone as beautiful as you
with a heart so big
and a love so strong
i'm so blessed to be the one you give yourself to
the one you want to share your life with
i'm so blessed to be on the other end
of the love you extend
you're my everything
my angel
you make my life glow
you give me everything i've ever wanted
i could never want more
with you right by my side
except for one more kiss
one more look
one more embrace
one more soft touch
one more smile
i always want more of you

no respect
Emily Jun 2014
i know what it's like to have to get over someone
it's awful
and the only way to truly do it is to cut off communication
i respect when people need to make that decision
the mature and proper way to do it is to meet with the person you've engaged in a relationship with
tell them to their face that you need to be alone in order to do what's best for you
you don't tell them to go **** themselves
especially when you've known them for many years
you've lost all my respect

Stupid
Emily Jul 2014
I must be stupid
I keep on believing in liars
I never learn my lesson
I think anything could be a blessing
But that's not how the world works
People are not true
They're never looking out for you
Only themselves and what they want to do
It isn't fair that you give chance after chance
Only to be left without any romance
Now I want to die
But don't take pity on me
It's all my own fault
I deserve to learn my lesson the hard way
I just didn't think it'd be this hard
"People are not true."
Kurt Cobain

Hot Confessions
Emily Feb 2014
Physics is hard
But if it was easy
Then I wouldn't have met
My tutor
He's ****
A hot nerd
With curly hair
Bright eyes
And a sweet smile
It intoxicated me
Just for a little while
Had trouble staying focused
I'd rather look at him instead
Brains are such a turn on
I imagined us ******* on the table
I'm not ashamed to admit
I can't wait for our next session
This is becoming a dangerous habit
Maybe in class I'll pay less attention
Just so he can continue
To teach me a few things
And maybe not only about physics

Keep Fighting
Emily Mar 2014
There's only one way
That this will end
And I doubt it'll be
In favor of me
God only knows
Why I keep fighting
But I'd rather do that
Than nothing at all

A Tribute
Emily Mar 2014
Baby,
I know you think you're horrible
And that the way you are is unmanageable
You are filled with self hate
Chock- full of self doubt
You haven't had much experience
Don't really know what life is about
You're not the same as your peers
Always feeling a sense of dismay and fear
You let it get the best of you
Most would categorize you as rude and unkind
Inexperienced, cynical, and behind
But the truth of the matter is
They don't know you like I know you
They don't know that when you love
You love wholeheartedly
They're unaware of the passion that lives within you
The fire in your heart and in your soul
The practice of determination and control
You're an artist
With your sketches and your rhymes
You're an athlete
With your many skateboard rides
You're a lover, not a fighter
And for that
I've wanted you for a long time
Because you're the most loyal
The most generous and caring soul
That's why we mesh so well
It's like we're equal
Don't let the facts of life bring you down
I have you, you have me
The heart of life is good
And I pray one day you'll see
This is just something I wrote quickly about my boyfriend. Last night we talked a lot and it broke my heart to hear him hate himself out loud so much. He has had issues since childhood and I just wanted him to know that he's brilliant the way he is, and I love him just the same.
