sad eyes
Maya Merrill Jul 2013
I met a girl who was so broken and lonely
But she wasn't always this way; she loved to put on a smile
Now when you see her you see only sorrow in her eyes;
She was tormented by her demons and insecurities...

I told her that I loved her, I asked her to stay with me,
But she was in too much pain; no one ever answered her cries
She was going insane,  she said she couldn't handle any more lies
She said "I've forgotten how to love" so blunt and so coldly

The others, they took advantage of her, left her feeling used
Now sadness is all she knows, all other emotions refused
In my eyes she's perfect but that she's can't see.
I'm in love with a sad girl and this is her tragic story.

Storm in my mind
Maya Merrill Jul 2013
There's no escape
From the storm in my mind
Deafening thunder
With lightening to blind
Alone in a desert
No shelter in sight
There's no where to hide
I must stand and fight
I wake in the morning
Alone in my bed
Confused and exhausted
From the storm in my head

Suicide Note #1
Maya Merrill Jun 2013
I'm going to the ocean
And never shall I return.
Too wrinkled for a casket,
Too soggy for an urn.
I'll swim until I tire
And sink, peaceful, to the floor.
And down there with the fishes,
I shall dream forevermore.

My Angel
Maya Merrill Jun 2013
Wingless angel,
Teach me how to fly.
I've lost my halo,
It's hidden in the sky.

Faithless angel,
Teach me how to believe.
My trust was stolen,
For now I will grieve.

Graceless angel,
Teach me how to dream.
Humanity is more,
Than Heaven made it seem.

Ruthless angel,
Teach me how to forgive.
My righteous man,
Please teach me how to live.

Fear
Maya Merrill Jun 2013
Fear, bites me
and sings to me
with cold hands.
Twisting my eyes
and tearing my soul.
Hiding underneath
it's sleeve,
lovely, but killing me whole.

— The End —
