Drink Me
Mary Mack Jan 2014
If
You
Cannot see that  
You
Are drinking my poison, then drink some more, all of it if you must.
You
Might as well die believing that I love you, as much as
You
Love me.

Blemished Heart
Mary Mack Aug 2013
You truly have left a tattoo on my heart,
not a scar,
a beautiful tattoo.

Joker
Mary Mack Aug 2013
The lustful temptation was almost as sweet as the love she thought they were sharing.
But when the law comes into question he made a marvelous disappearing act.
The boy fled with heart and security in hand.
The boy? No the man.
The man who stole her childhood and innocence.
The man who cried love and the naive young women, looking and acting far beyond her years being fooled by the joker.
She was a sweet whisper on the wind, he was a dangerous dance that she was consumed in.

Understand Me.
Mary Mack Aug 2013
He stared at the girl, feeling love. But he was tip toeing on the high bridge, trying not to fall even though he fell long ago and he didn't want to admit the strong, scary feelings that he couldn't understand.

Melting with You
Mary Mack Aug 2013
The earth spins and I'm just barely keeping up,
But that's ok,
I'm just a little dizzy.
Especially when I look at you and you look at me...
Cause then everything stop and the world melts around us...
There is only us.

Open - Close
Mary Mack Aug 2013
I turn to talk to you,
Then I catch myself being too trusting.
Then I hide everything.
Then I shut you out.
Then I hate myself for everything you did to me.
Then I hurt myself for all the things I think I deserve.
Then I'm numb again...
Then I try to heal what can't be fixed

Idealistic or realistic?
Mary Mack Aug 2013
Sometimes I think we fall in love with an idea before the reality.
Sometimes I think we can fall in love with someone the first time you meet them.
Sometimes I think love is blind.
Sometimes I think we fall in love with someone.
Sometimes I think we love someone.
Sometimes I think love is crazy.
One thing I know for sure is that if you both love someone and fall in love with them, never let go.

Delusions of Grandeur
Mary Mack Aug 2013
I'll just cling to the memories.
The happy thoughts...
I just I'll just cling to something I made up.
Cause obliviously I'm the only one who is thinking this way...

Chasing Shadows
Mary Mack Aug 2013
I guess I'm chasing you hoping that you might chase me back and then we'll end up in each other's arms or something...
But I'm chasing myself into the dark woods...

A Storm is Coming
Mary Mack Aug 2013
Standing in the middle of a wind storm trying to be heard...
Trying to call your name...
To tell you I'm scared.
To tell you I can't live without you knowing me.
Trying to tell you I love you.
But the words are stolen by the storm and lost in the wind.

Temptation comes calling
Mary Mack Aug 2013
A summer's night was ending and a new day dawning,
The late night air hung sweet and careful
Yet no one was actually being careful.
The reckless fools.
Most thought highly of her...
But she didn't think that of herself.
The air hung still waiting for an answer...
Waiting for a sinner or a saint.
The devil won that dance.

Flooded
Mary Mack Aug 2013
Sometimes the memories flood into me.
Like they were a river and I was the ocean...
The only thing that never came home, came back to me, was him.
As if the emotions weren't bad enough
I had to realize that he was never coming back.
I had to realize that I was never going to call him mine.
I had to realize that I was never going to hear him say my name that same, sweet, caring, adoring way ever again.
Nope...
But the worst thing
Is that I'm still brought to tears when I see him...

Couple this, Couple that
Mary Mack Aug 2013
Two couples started out.
Me and him.
Then
She and his best friend.
It was marvelous!
Until that February,
Everything changed.
My parents.
My parents wanted the change.
So it happened.
We could have pulled through, but I thought my relationship with my parents was more important than my happiness.
I chose wrong.
I'm now still in class with the surviving couple, thinking of how it could have worked, but I wasn't brave enough...
I want the two couples back...

Crystal Clear
Mary Mack Aug 2013
My tears are crystal clear
My thoughts are crystal clear
My heart is crystal clear,
It's crystal.
And you just shattered it.
It's hard to glue those pieces back together
... They break again and again...
I just need someone who will stay till the scars heal and who wouldn't shatter it again.

Lost in the Crowd
Mary Mack Aug 2013
I walk around this campus.
There are so many people...
More than last year,
Yet,
It seems so lonely.
No one I really want to see is here.
Maybe a handful.
I keep wanting to see that one face that will make my day.
I keep wanted to hear the words...
"my favorite freshmen, now favorite sophomore"
I want him to tell me that we'll figure it out. That we will work.
I want him to tell me that I am the one who he really wants to be with....
No one else.
I want to walk around and not have this lingering need to want him around, because I know he is mine.
And the next time I want to leave,
I don't want him to let me, I want him to know that the only reason I would leave him is because of my parents.
I want him to not let me leave him.
I can't leave him.
Not twice.
Ok, maybe three time.
But never for long times.
Drifting is hard to avoid, but so easy to do...
I want you to be mine.
'Cause you are my heaven.
This was written at the beginning of my sophomore year of high school.
