sometimes i stare at my scars
memories of being hurt
and i regret ever making myself bleed
but other times
i just want to feel the blade tear across my skin
and i want to go so deep
like right now
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
what do you plan on doing?
staying with me forever
or leaving me alone?
it's one or the other

(please choose the first one)
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
the only thing i can think is
"am i dreaming?"
your lips on mine
your hands on my hips
the look in your eyes
you holding my hand
holding me close
wearing your sweatshirt that's too big for me
you saying i look lovely
your hands trailing down down down
and lighting a passionate fire inside of me
this can't be real
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
you saw me cry for the first time last night
and you said i'm still beautiful when i cry
i wasn't sad at all
it was the complete opposite
i was so ******* happy
i couldn't hold it in anymore
what i wanted to do was scream
scream at the top of my lungs
just to tell you how much i love you
i want the world to know i'm in love
that i'm finally happy
and there's nothing no one can do to change it
but i couldn't scream
and you were saying all these incredible things
that made me melt and burn like a candle
more like a forest fire spreading constantly
and the happiness and love built up
and if you were here
we would probably make love
to let out all the emotions
but we're still far apart
so i just cried instead
and i would be lying
if i said i didn't cry myself to sleep
but only because i thought of us
being together for eternity
we're officially married in our hearts
because we can't be together right now
and i don't think you know
just how much that makes me happy
you complete me
in ways that no one else has
i love you more than you know
and i'm so glad it's you and me in the end
i wouldn't want anyone else
if i lost you
i think i would just go **** myself
i have no other reason to live
no other reason to be so happy
and without you
my life would mean completely nothing
you're everything
i hope you know that always

Our hands touched, the warmth radiating throughout my body
A stranger I do not know
He sits behind me in math class
And I knew right then and there that there’s many people in this world
That I’ve never acknowledged or known
That even though I feel left out now
Someone will come along with warm hands
And a loving soul and they will never leave me to be alone
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
i hope you know
i have finally let all of you go
i'm not afraid anymore
i hope you know
i am loved
i don't need you anymore
i hope you know
i'm finally free
you can't control me anymore

to an ex boyfriend
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
so i heard from my friend
that the only reason you were with me
is so i would leave you alone
once you broke up with me
you want to be left alone?
fine
you'll never see me again
you'll forget i even existed
so much for trying to be friends
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
a smile stuck on my face
i hope you know how happy you make me
because you really make me happy
and i would do anything for you
even the things i don't want to do
seeing you today made me feel safe
seeing you made me feel closer to you
and i hope you know i love you
forever and always
always and forever
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
You told me today that you like being close to me
and I don't think you know how much that makes me happy
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
I don't know why the universe
or God
or whoever
keeps bringing you so close to me
to the point
I think you may love me
But whoever it is
keeps doing it
And I'm a fool
Because I'm still going to get my hopes up
But I really don't care if you hurt me anymore
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
to give you all of me is so scary
i just hope you don't leave
and i believe that you won't, to a point
but it's all i'm used to so please have mercy
i'm always going to be scared
until the day you can hold me
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
I'm a mess
A big ******* mess
There is so much debris scattered around me
from the countless thunderstorms that have rattled my bones
and shattered my heart to nothing
I'm sorry it's not all cleaned up yet
But I'll try to make it look decent for you
I'll try to clean it up
And put the bad thoughts in boxes and send them away
I'll try to depart with my demons
But it's hard
Very hard
I'll try to send away the people that just bring their debris and dump it around me
So I won't have to deal with everybody else's problems too
I'll try to clear up my head
And I'll try to forget about this mess
But it's right here
And it's not going away
At least for the time being
And I can change
And I can put on a pretty face
And I can play my part in this love game
But sometimes
All I really want
Is for someone to wrap their arms around my broken body
and tell me
"I want to love your mess."
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
beads of sadness drip down the side of my face
my lungs are drowning in that blue smoke
my body slows to match my heartbeat
i'm sorry my superpowers are back
if you don't know, i can control the weather
everything i feel matches the outside
and i'm sorry it's pouring down rain
raindrops like little wrecking *****
when they hit the ground with force
a wall of rain so dense
you can't see
and if you couldn't tell
that's the way i feel inside constantly
i'm sorry if it starts flooding
i'm sorry if the wind picks up
i'm sorry if a tornado destroys everything around me
i'm sorry.
i can't control the storm that's already inside of me
i may not be able to control this hurricane outside
so please take shelter
please don't let me hurt you
there is too much sadness inside of me to handle at one time

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i used to look in the mirror
and think i was the cutest thing in the world
but now i cant even stand to look anymore
lovelywildflower Nov 2018

I was up until almost 4 am last night
thinking about you
and you will never know that
I can't keep my mind off of you
If we're being honest here,
I wish I never approached you
I wouldn't be hurting the way I do now
I'm not good at making friends
So I'm going to need you to make the first move
to get to know each other
Because I won't
That's not me
I wish you could just magically already know someone
But you can't
And that's why I don't have too many close friends
Once I know you
I can be completely myself and it's so easy
But the beginning phases of friendship are just too much
for me to handle
And I shouldn't have approached you
Because I put myself down because of it
I feel like I'm not good enough standing next to you
And that's the truth
I feel like nothing when I'm around you
I'm sorry
It's really not your fault
It's mine for being so insecure
and for approaching you in the first place
If you don't want to know me
just tell me
Because it hurts less than to wonder if you do
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
"i am in love with you
and i know that love is just a shout into the void
and that oblivion is inevitable
and that we're all doomed
and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust
and i know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have
and i am in love with you."
from The Fault In Our Stars
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
we have a lot in common
but maybe we're more different than we think
how could you love me?
you say you adore me
but i can't see how
there's always something wrong with me
and i'm not just saying that to put myself down
i mean it
it's the truth
there's always something that makes people run
and i don't know what it is
but i'm still me
i'm allowed to be myself
and i'm not going to change myself for anyone
i thought we were dreaming of being something more
and not just the way our bodies connect
i tried opening myself up to the possibility before
but my last boyfriend used me
he wanted my body
nothing more
and i've never told anyone this
but he told me he thought about ****** me
so forgive me if i don't want a relationship based on that
because now i'm too scared to share that part of me
he made me feel absolutely disgusting
and i never want to share that part of me again
unless it's with someone who will stay in the end
so please
if you really don't want me because i won't share that with you
then i guess we're just not meant to be
i'm sorry
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
hurting myself worse than i hurt you
to punish myself for the pain i caused
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
how are you?
good
no
i'm not good
i'm terrible
but i can't say that, can i?
so i guess i'll just say i'm okay
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i want to be important to someone
i want to be in your thoughts at 3 am
and the person you talk about when you're drunk
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
i know i'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight
and that's not a fun feeling to have
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i'm sorry i lied to you
i know i'm just a **** up
i know i ruin everything
you don't have to tell me
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i'm sorry, mom.
i know i'm a disappointment
i know you're not proud
i know you don't like who i am
i know you wish i was someone else
i know i'm not the most perfect daughter
but i'm trying
i'm trying so ******* hard
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i hold in my emotions
this is who i am
i hold them all in
until it's impossible not to cry
i think that's why i'm so angry all the time
at everyone and everything
it's more like i'm mad at myself
for holding it all in
and not letting it out
and when i cry
i cry hard
a whole ocean flows out of me
mixing with the water in the shower
it hurts so much
i cannot stand
and i fall to my knees
surrendering to the pain
my whole body shakes
from the earthquake inside of my heart
something shifts
and the whole thing explodes
and i'm left picking my own self up off the floor
no one else is around
my heart is a ghost town
no one comes in
no one comes out
i'm stuck here
and it's the same cycle
over and over again
people hurt me
and i just hold it in
until the dam breaks inside of me again
and this hurricane destroys me
and who would want to love a storm?
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
I look at myself the way a lover would look at someone they love
even through all this pain
Go ahead and call me cocky
But when there's no one around to make me feel loved
I kind of have to do it myself
And I don't have to be sorry about that
Today you put me down
But one of my biggest accomplishments
is loving myself through that
I'm still beautiful
That never changed
And I did not ask for your opinion in the first place
So thanks for helping me find myself again
I lost myself
and I found myself
And that, I think, is why I'm beautiful
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i'll turn my heart into stone
and burn my lungs with cigarette smoke
i'll be tough
i'll perform exorcisms on my thoughts
i'll stand here
bleeding
bruised
but i'll still be breathing
watch me
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
i am very indecisive
i cannot decide anything
this or that
i don't know
but i know one thing for sure
and that is
i want to be with you for the rest of my life
i am very indecisive
but this
i'm 100 percent sure of

lovelywildflower Nov 2018
i run when things get too much
and everything feels this way now
so please
if you love me
don't let me run
i just need to walk
i need to move slower
don't move too fast

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
in the face of danger
the only thing i think about is you
and what i never say to you
and how i should say them
i love you so much
and
and i want you for the rest of my life
but you already know that, don't you?
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
nighttime tears kiss the pillow
shaking from sobbing
the pain says hello
i know i messed up
i know you're not proud
but i'm trying my hardest
in this ruthless crowd
i'm trying to be better
for everyone around me
but how can i do that
when you go on a hurting spree
everyone always hurts me to death
i know i'm so sensitive
but it's not like i can change that
maybe just be careful
maybe just have mercy
i think you know i break easily
so why do you have to hurt me?
i know you're just trying to get it in my head
but it's there
it's already there
it's in the tears i shed
i wish that you could learn compassion
and that's not who you are
but i wish you could learn it
you say i'm worth it
you say you love me
but when i'm around you
i feel the opposite
i never asked to be this way
it's just the lessons i have to learn
but that doesn't mean you have to
hit me until it hurts
i'm trying
i'm trying my hardest to make you proud
but i just can't seem to do that
i know you protest against this
but i am in love with him
and you say that it's not love
but it's love to me
so i'm just going to rise above
love is sacrifice in many ways
and i'm willing to sacrifice your trust for him
remember my psychic feelings?
i get them with him
and you may not believe that
but it is the truth
so i'm sorry i'm not the best daughter
but at least i'm happy
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
looking back over my poems
and seeing mistakes i've made in them
sorry
but my mind had been gone for awhile
and i'm honestly surprised to see how many times
i added in words that weren't supposed to be there
i didn't even realize
which shows my mind keeps running off
and it's not staying in the place it needs to be
this is what my pain does to me
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
you're
not
the
only
one
falling

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
would you be so kind as to fall in love with me?
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i can still smell you on my skin
and it gets my heart racing thinking about seeing you again
lovelywildflower Jan 2019
waking up with bruises and wounds
from battling these sleepless nights

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
that girl
she stood there
for hours
on the sandy beach
the waves meeting her toes
her outstretched arms
begged to be free
a bottle full of suicide notes
prescribed by the doctor with love
she popped them into her mouth
one by one
tiny time capsules travel to her brain
and she tilted her head
up to the sky
and said, "take away the pain"
she collapsed sometime later
at the same moment the sun hit the water
and they both died
to turn into something brighter
lovelywildflower Nov 2018
i don't really like talking to people too much anymore
no one really has anything to say
it's all just small talk
no one likes deep conversations anymore
and that's what i'm here for
but i knew i was in love with you
when i just wanted to talk to you about anything
you could just say hello to me
and it would light up my whole day
and i could talk to you for hours about the weather
or other little things
and i would never get bored
you fascinate me

lovelywildflower Jan 2019
i keep seeing spirits in front of my eyes
white wisps of smoke floating by
why are these ghosts taking shelter in my mind?
they do not belong here
am i just turning into a ghost myself?
no one sees me, no one knows
am i invisible?

yes

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
have you ever wondered what you look like from a lover's point of view
think about it
think about the way you feel when you see them
your heart warms with the sunshine inside
you automatically smile and can't seem to stop
you see all the things you love about them gathered together into such an amazing person
you're filled to the brim with undying love
and when you see them
you just want to run into their arms and stay there
and kiss their lips
and you talk and talk and talk
just to hear their voice
and you're so ******* happy
you could cry
don't you think they feel the same way?
when they see you walking towards them
off in your own world
and they see beauty radiating from your body
and all they feel is love love love
and when you see them and smile
they just have to smile back
and when you hug
they just want to stay there a little longer like you do
and they just feel the same undying love for you
but you feel like they're not feeling this way
so you think you're not good enough
or you're scared they will leave you
but they love you so ******* much
they would die to save you
would it be too crazy to believe they feel the same way?
would it be too crazy to believe they want you forever?
would it be too crazy?
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i feel left behind
all the freaking time
like nobody wants to be bothered
with this mess i call mine
it's fine
honestly, it's fine
all i ever do is try, try, try
but it seems i've lost my light
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
I feel something in my heart and in my head
Like love is just out of my reach, like it's waiting for me to find it
I've felt it since this morning
It feels as though love is going to find me soon
Like whoever is waiting for me is right around the corner
I don't know if this feeling is true
But I really hope it is
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
you know, i was depressed a few years ago
but i did it on purpose
convinced myself my life was bad
just to experience being incredibly sad
it was stupid because i started to believe it
and then i harmed myself
for no reason
but i guess it was a good thing
because now i can recognize the feelings
now im truly depressed
i can feel it washing over me
there's nothing i can do about it
i feel nothing
just have to push through it i guess
lovelywildflower Sep 2018
I keep hoping that you'll see that I was crying
But like anyone really cares
Especially you
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
i'm having trouble sleeping
maybe that's why i'm so tired
it takes me an hour to even fall asleep
and i wake up too much in the night
for it to even be considered sleeping
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
tell me
would you love the scars on my arms and thighs?
or would you just run and hide?
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
"i don't feel anything for you."
that's what you said to me
you were scared i was going to hate you
but i don't feel anything in my life right now
not one thing
i haven't felt a vivid emotion in weeks
i feel nothing
but i felt everything for you
lovelywildflower Sep 2019
we talked about the future like it was already here
like tomorrow would be the day our life started
it felt like i could reach out and touch it
and my skin grew warm from the sunshine woven around my heart

lovelywildflower Oct 2018
you told me
"you mean so much to me"
and my heart smiled
lovelywildflower Oct 2018
you told me i meant a lot to you
that you cared about me
but then you threw me away like i was nothing
and it still hurts my heart
