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
Lottie Mar 2015
We haven't spoken in months
And I am sorry for it.
I needed to reassemble my mind
And I am sorry for it.
I was too affected by you
And I am sorry for it.

Out of the blue you've said "hi"
And I am glad for it.
We talk like we did before
And I am glad for it.
We are avoiding the problem
**And I am glad for it.
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
Lottie Oct 2015
Love is an abstract promise to protect and treasure another person's imperfections.
Lottie Aug 2015
Loving you is what makes me brave,
And let's me sleep,
And gives me hope,
And helps me breath.
I could stand alone
In a raging storm of anger and fear,
But I don't have to.
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.
Lottie Dec 2015
Treacle runs from your tongue to mine as you bend down and kiss me.
Lottie Jan 2015
I wear no mask, no deliberate one,
I wear a smile while I'm seen,
But don't remove it because im pretending,
While you're not looking, my face falls,
But only for while I feel lonely,
The second someone speaks to me,
I'm happy again,
And when you stop, I'm lonely once more.
Chrissy, I don't have a mask
Lottie Apr 2015
Et maintenant
Ma vie est une petit morceaux
De quoi cela devrait être.
Thus what happens when I figure out how to change languages on the tablet..
Lottie Sep 2015
You live in my skin,
So when I go hollow and drift from emotion,
My body grasps the physical memory of you
So that when my heart returns to me,
It can find me wrapped up *in you.
Lottie Dec 2015
Happy Christmas, broken people,
I hope the world feels better
When the snow has fallen
And the birds stop singing
Because the world just gets
So *quiet.
Lottie Feb 2015
A body of water with a single bird atop,
That one meaning is known about,
But others might never find it.

Break the wings of the bird, tie them,
That the bird may never flee,
But the meaning is disfigured.

Give the bird a new tune to sing,
Take its meaning away,
But what it stood for doesn't change.
Lottie Apr 2015
I would quite like to hold you.

*I would quite like to be held.
Lottie Jan 2016
For a moment, I was sure you were going to die,
But I thought back on all I'd said to you.
All the things that mattered;
Your hands curling my arm in your sleep,
The sleepy kisses that followed.
You playing guitar and looking over at me in the moment I looked at you,
Your helpless face as you dream,
Splayed out and sighing.
And some moments that I shall never share.


I said I love you too many times today,
But in that moment
Where I thought you were going to die,
I was so glad for my tendency to repeat things.
*I love you.
Lottie May 2016
I hate movies,
Anyone who cares knows that.
Sitting in a room with all the people you love
And ignoring them.
But with you,
In this moment,
I want to build a fort with pillows and fairy lights.
I want to watch movies which came from comics,
And see you laugh, and cry, and hurt for people
Who done exist.
I want to feel you nose my neck in the quiet scenes,
And kiss me in the credits.
Lottie Aug 2015
the world outside has a sheet of quiet
floating down on top of it.
the world we have created for ourselves
is small,
and temporary,
but it is *ours.
Lottie May 2015
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.
****.

:)
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 Mar 2015
I know you're really down right now,
And I don't know how to help,
So here's a little set of words
To show you're not alone.

We could build a pillow fort,
Or swear at passers by.
Raid the fridge, get really ill
Or write some stuff like this:3
Izzi3, I'm sorry I can't be with yu while you're not great so just read this and I hope it helps:3
Lottie Aug 2015
Please be okay.
Lottie Feb 2016
We are crying into the
Echos of nothing,
Shattering things that
Were never whole.
Drink from your
Broken glass, my dear
And pray the shards
Don't cut.
No.
Lottie Aug 2015
No.
Bubbling to the surface,
I'm so scared that,
In a moment of weakness,
I'll tell you how I feel.
Lottie Nov 2015
I would very much not like to breathe air,
That doesn't carry the scent of your skin.
Lottie Aug 2015
I am whimpering in the corner of my mind.
I am so scared
That the noise is going to come out of my mouth.
Lottie Nov 2015
I don't feel real.
Lottie Aug 2015
Oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh oh God oh God oh God.
Lottie Feb 2016
There are things I owe to people,
Which I will never repay,
So I will do my best by you,
And settle this debt each day.
Lottie Nov 2015
Was there anything that was real?
Or was it just your
Synthetic soul
And plastic personality.
Lottie Nov 2015
Where do I fit into life again?
Lottie Aug 2015
I get this feeling
That I'm leaking emotion
no one wants
Lottie Aug 2015
Everything around us is chaotic and painful,
So keep your arms tucked in and your seatbelt on,
Or it might hit you how **** everything is.
Lottie Oct 2015
In this moment,
My head hurts;
It feels like nails,
And I'd quite like,
To not be breathing,
If it meant no pain.
Lottie Nov 2015
I get scared so avoid all food,
But then I worry about dying young,
So then I over eat, eat, eat
And worry some more
Repeat.
Lottie Jul 2015
This isn't discipline,

This is the destruction of a soul.
Lottie Jun 2015
they love us so,
love love love.

no understanding though.
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.
Lottie Jun 2017
Make my back arch and my mind wander;
Lottie Jan 2016
Bodies decay, and are born,
Ever second of every day.
So why do we hold onto
The same bodies, the same names?
Lottie Oct 2015
I could listen to you play for hours,
but I think I'd look a bit creepy.

*It's just that you're so beautiful.
Lottie Feb 2016
This is supposed to be a poem,
Ill get round to it..
Lottie Apr 2016
I am tidying my room,
Because it will get messy again.

My dad is cooking us dinner,
Because we will get hungry again.

Mother earns some money,
To replace that which we spent,
Again.

I want to do something,
For the first time,

Again.
Lottie Mar 2015
I'm sorry
Sorry sorry,
So deeply sorry.
I want to be forgiven
So as soon as we figure out
All the ways I've wronged you,
Please be angry at me
So I can apologise.
Sorry
God, I'm so sorry.
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.
Lottie Aug 2015
There's a power to words,
But I don't want them anymore.
Lottie Nov 2015
This ****** world just got bloodier,
The streets of the romance city are painted red.
Islamic state, you owned up and sound
So pleased with yourself.
How dare you.
In the name of Allah, the all loving,
You just killed people,
You did it.
Allah, who may well be benevolent,
Has nothing to do
With the blood on your hands.
This world disgusts me.
Lottie Sep 2015
I will close my eyes;
Switch off my consciousness.
In eight hours, I will reset,
And not want to die.
Lottie Sep 2015
You put your head in my lap,
And as my hand carded through your hair,
I made a promise to myself.
"I will love you with everything I am made of.
The sky would fall, the world would end
Before I hurt you willingly, my darling."
Lottie Mar 2016
I promise,
That I will do my best
In all that I do.
Whether it is you,
My work or my sanity.
Starting from tomorrow,
I will not do anything that
Hurts me.
I will help only those I care
For and love only those
Who are deserving.
Starting with you,
My darling boy.
Lottie Dec 2015
What is the mind
If not the thresh-hold
To another, more beautiful
Universe?
