Smothered by nothingness.
Lottie Jul 2015
Crushed under the weight of my desire for affection.

Shudders.
Lottie Jul 2015
To be loved unconditionally,
And be shown
With a whisper
Of breath on my neck.

Alliterated agony.
Lottie Jul 2015
Bubbles blosoming bellow,
Wretched, wrenching roses.
Thorns outstretched,
the darkness drawing
Blood from wounds long sealed.
Who could sleep
On this bed of brambles
When the pain
Comes from
Within.
Ya know what? IDEK what this means

Headaches 2.0
Lottie Jul 2015
My brain hurts.
I can't turn or blink,
Have the lights too bright,
Or have them dim.

Apocalypse
Lottie Jul 2015
This is the end of the world, my good people;
Our sorrows have been for naught!
When your parents died and your babies wept,
Their strife will be laid to rest.
For who in fifty or a hundred years
will remember the old or young
We don't matter, none of us do
So as we end, our world does, too.
Does this even make sense..  Ohwell its too early to care

Lost
Lottie Jul 2015
I haven't lost anything, I know
But it feels like an absense,
A cavity in my side
Where you should be housed.

While you sleep,
its where you fit
And when I sleep
It's where my comfort
Is growing from

You rooted yourself
Deep inside my mind
And are tying knots:
strangling my heart

Jetlag

To be awake for thirty six hours and it not be strange

Flight side limbo
Lottie Jun 2015
The world is dull in here.
You stop, we stop, it all ******* stops.
And the world, we know keeps going
But by Christ, in here we don't know;
Wouldn't know if America were nuked
Or Isis got sold more guns.
We are reduced to numbers
A seat number, a passport id
Ugh I'm bored.
Jun 2015 · 189
Sshhhhh.
Lottie Jun 2015
My mind is screaming

Silence can't come soon enough
Headaches again

Literal poets
Lottie Jun 2015
I am a literal poet,
I write in facts, not simile
Or encryption
I tell facts how they are
With a good choice of words
But I never steer away from
The truth

You are the literal poet
You bring life, and wonder
And confusion
You don't needs facts,
Just the beauty of life;
The beauty of you
To bring happiness and promise
To me.
Happy birthday libby:3

The consuming crash
The eye of the storm
The splinter and smash
It is all the norm

For the world does burn
And dissolve to rubble
But it does this to turn
For life means trouble

Constants
Lottie Jun 2015
Little boys and little hearts
Sweet as little cherry tarts
Awake, the world is at their feet
Asleep, they drown in cold deceit
Slender, cold and rising
Is the future's bold horizon
I'd rather sleep than creep
On the cheap heap of gold
We were given at birth
To die in.

Cracks and splinters.

Crack open a door,
Crack open your mind
To find out the terrors in store

Hello Alex, at long last.
Lottie Jun 2015
You gave me a kiss
You gave me a promise
"We'll see each other at Christmas"
Three years on, my once was love
We've started talking and I'd forgotten
How brilliant you were and
How brilliant we were
You make me laugh
But you broke
My heart.
Jun 2015 · 221
Happiness is
Lottie Jun 2015
The last slice of cake being offered to you
Your best friend laughing hysterically
The first kiss after years of unrequited love
The second, the third, the 50th
A promise being kept
Or a hug being given when you need it most

Electricity
Static, over my skin
You brush your nails
Lightly
Scratching, igniting
Over my flesh
Fluttering
Creeping, terrifying
Knots in my stomach

static
Lottie May 2015
There's static on my brain,
Except I can't ground it
I can't make it leave
By wiping it away with my hand

When I touch it, it shocks my hand
And makes me shake
And fogs my mind
And I can't stomp it out

Panic is a fog of static
Its there, you know its there
But you can't. can't
Do anything about it.

Who do you think you are?
Lottie May 2015
How's about, with all this preaching
Of acceptance and forgiveness,
We learn to respect conflicting politics
Because in the same way that
A Muslim and a Jew will hold alternative
Views, a tory and labour do too.
Why is it fair to rip apart a communist
For believing in equality or a
Capitalist for believing they should keep
What they earn. We're all out
For what makes our life easier so just
**Back the *******.

music

who knew doing singing for a subject would be hard?
hold a melody, hold a harmony, keep time.
okay.

now name the melody's key and the harmony's chord
keep the time and know what you're doing.
okay.

watch, listen, repeat, now give it a year to forget
and now write a thousand words on it.
help.

and now, with a month until our exams
we have to learn it all again.

scratch
Lottie May 2015
Scars don't hurt,
They itch.

An itch is just a niggling,
Annoying little nail
Dragging down the back of your mind,
Piercing for while you think of it,
There until you forget.

If they hurt, you'd never
Forget that they were there,
Dragging nails through your heart,
Piercing through your skin
For you to always remember.

Itch the scratch of hurt,
Drag nails through your mind and heart
So your scars are never forgotten
But they don't break through your skin.

closseness
Lottie May 2015
When you look at a pair of hands and just know that having them in yours would make the panic go away.
The tight bundle of nerves in your stomach would ease into excitement rather than fear at the sensation of being laced with someone else.
Touch never has to be ****** but it is almost always sensual and god, I want the tickling burn of hands moving up and down my forearm,
nails scraping a little so that it awakens the senses but doesn't overwhelm them.
The feeling of being physically alone is a constant weight on my chest- when I see a happy couple, I'm not jealous of their closeness or their happiness, it just reminds me that I am, in fact alone.
The hugs and touches I get are familial, friendly because people like to trust me but never get close enough to love me.
Yeah I was in a really good mood at three this morning and this was my thought process, sorry if I've wasted your time

scars
Lottie Apr 2015
Whoever said scars were beautiful
Wasn't really looking.
Scars aren't meant to be pretty,
They're meant to prove something.

They prove that you have lived,
That you were hurt.
Scars show the screaming truth
That life is hard but *possible.
One of our pets got caught in some barbed wire and has obliterated his tail, chest and sides. He was stunning but is likely to have scars

bottle
Lottie Apr 2015
Out in the rain,
A bottle green bottle
Fills with rain water,
While I watch, doing my homework.

Out in the rain,
The bottle green bottle
Looks sadder and sadder,
Drowning with no lid to prevent it.

Out in the rain,
That bottle green bottle
Fills right to the brim,
With water that's purer than we are.

Out in the rain,
My bottle green bottle
Overflows with a sadness,
So pure that no distraction could lid it.

poison
Lottie Apr 2015
It radiates out of us,
Creeping through our skin,
Out of our throats and fingers.
It kills us so slowly that we
don't notice it is pain,
When it makes us so happy
we overdose on it,
We give it to other people
Or take it all for ourselves.

Love will surely **** us.

passion
Lottie Apr 2015
You want to hurt them.
You want to please them.

You want them to beg.
You want them to take you over.

To cloud your senses.
To open your eyes.

You want the power of letting go.

pull it together, watson.
Lottie Apr 2015
I can smell the table,
Unlabled chemicals and acrid smoke
Radiate off it as though it was still on fire

I can hear the violin,
Unbearably beautiful and haunting
Echoing around at three in the morning

I can hear the voice,
Hollowed out and crackling
While you phone and tell me you're a fraud

I can see the body,
Broken up and bleeding
Because the world just seemed too hard

I can touch the gravestone,
Freshly polished and gleaming
As I ask for one more miracle, Sherlock.
Don't
Be
Dead.

Lottie Apr 2015
My love for you echoes
Off the walls of my room
Where I have dreamed
Of you and have cried
For the things that
Will never be real
But those dreams
Give me hope
So I don't
Mind.


*Much.

church
Lottie Apr 2015
In our best clothes we step
Inside this building, this symbol
Of gods beauty and power but
I feel the mighty ceiling pressing
Down on my shoulders, my throat
Feels crushed by all the things I
Would normally say in god's
Sacred name. I realise that god
Wants me to to love, to breath
His healing forgiveness into the
World provided those I revive
From their lives of godless misery
Are not a different colour, a different
Gender, a different faith, race, sexuality
Because their creed and their colour
And their name will matter, he
Won't be there.
Religion rant, I'm really sorry if I offend people. My objections on the matter of faith are not to do with the followers, but rather the deity.

Falling down the rabbit hole, you know the
End is drawing near,
Unlike these tears falling down my face; from
Laughter, maybe fear.
I want to go mad, at least then I'd know where I stood.

Lust?
Lottie Apr 2015
Everyone writes so much about ***,
The pleasures of touch and teeth,
But I don't understand how someone
Could take me apart with nimble fingers
And silken words.

Maybe I'm just a ******, but it scares me
That someone, someday will have so
Much power over my body that I
Will come apart and trust them enough
To reassemble me.

my life note
Lottie Apr 2015
Dear world,
       If you're reading this, know that I'm alive.
Life is too hard and it hurts too much.
So I accept your challenge and I will live.
And love.
And hate.
And smile.
And breathe.
My family loves me and Libby is angelic.
There's not a day goes by when I'm not
Living for them and I adore it.
So I praise chance or fate or god or whatever runs this ****
Because they gave me this chance to feel

-grace
The closest I will ever get to a suicide note
Lottie Apr 2015
I see you die each night.
I don't want to feel better.
I want to see you safe.
I can live with not seeing you Happy,
**But god, I can't stand being awake
And not knowing you are too.
