stared through
                        smudged
                          smeared
they're forever
not looked at
instead looked through
                                  do they understand
                                  they're needed?
they keep in warmth
they keep out wind
they keep in cold
they let in wind
                                                they have a purpose:
                                     to be not looked at
                                     instead looked
                                     through

i'm a klutz when you're here

i can't help but fall
                     for you again
every time i see you
   you make me clumsy
                   and i fall

bittersweet sixteen

i have to learn
that i can               be happy
with two
                         helium                     balloons
and                                     a cake
happy sweet sixteen

i keep waiting and expecting

maybella snow Jul 2013

i keep waiting and expecting

i'm waiting
                                     for you to walk in the door
                           wrap your arm around my waist
                 kiss the skin below my ear on my neck
                     and whisper to me that you love me

its never going to happen
yet i still
                         wait and expect
                                  and then get too disappointed
                                            when you never walk in

is life fake?

maybella snow Jul 2013

is life fake?

it's hard to know
what's real
in a world so fake
it thinks it's real

fake seems to be the new "real"
if this makes sense to anyone I'd be surprised, it doesn't really make sense to me

48 hours... longer?

maybella snow Jun 2013

48 hours... longer?

its been
              48 hours
         or longer?
since i last heard from you
   i'm worried
                 about
you
               only ever you

life has become
                 a monotone
                                    in comparison
you're a playlist
                    in my head
   forever on repeat

                                          o v e r    a n d    o v e r

i smile at our little jokes
                       said not too long ago
i'm joyful
      i am

                but i need to know
     where and how
                     you are

for the falling leaves

maybella snow Sep 2013

for the falling leaves

small swirls
twists and
turns
spirals and
flips
all                                               leaves
fall
some    faster
than
others
just remember
that
we all
fall from that tree
(of life) eventually

dont comment

.          i was happy last night
until i remembered
           im not allowed to be happy
           i cried myself to sleep
why? i dont know
   but im not meant to be happy
          i dont deserve it

this morning i was happy
                        i smiled as i yawned
then they barged in,
the whole family
         and reminded me
    happiness isnt for me
                and i cut open my skin
    once again i bled
                                                            because
                          i dont deserve to be happy
ever

maybella snow Jul 2013

i see all of you, past the mask

i love how sweet you are to me
   i hate that the rest of the world doesn't see
                     the kind,
                           caring,
                           forgiving,
                           loving,
                           amazing person you are
you disguise yourself
         hide it behind insanity,
                                   hate,
                                   loathing,
but i love that the only thing
            you don't hide
        is how much you love me

ouch, i have no reason for being in pain

maybella snow Aug 2013

ouch, i have no reason for being in pain

why the hell
did seeing that
hurt so ******* much
i don't love you
but *******
that hurt
to see you loving someone else
ouch

i don't even know
why this would hurt
but the knife in my chest
at seeing that
******* killed me

and no,
you'll never know
that this poem
is for you
so
you won't know
how to stop
this pain
because you don't know
it's you causing it

a little inside... joke?

maybella snow Jul 2013

a little inside... joke?

at home we have
i guess you could call it a joke
involving a plastic spider
about the size of my palm
this spider
a red-back i believe
is placed somewhere
on top of a door
so it'll fall on the next person
who opens it
and the whole thing
is a bit of a competition
of who can not be scared
when it falls unexpectedly
onto them, then put it somewhere
where it'll fall on someone else

right now
i believe its perched
on the shower head
i didn't put it there
i spotted it out of
the corner of my eye
i hope i don't
forget it's there
when it topples onto me

i know, this saddens me
          but i know
that i will never know
everything you do
                  everywhere you go
everyone you're with
                                            i have
reason not to trust you
                   but
                                          i also have every reason to trust you

and so i do
i trust you with your life
i trust you with mine
                                          just as
                                             you trust me with your life
                                      you trust me with mine

in these ways
its hard not to think
              that we can't make it
through the roughest times

                                                                                                                                    aka now

only one escape; death

maybella snow Oct 2013

only one escape; death

is it normal
to feel claustrophobic
inside my own skin?
                            skin that grew with me
as years passed
   burnt in summer sun
chilled in winter
               i think
                              the scar tissue
is making me
            claustrophobic
because i cant
breathe
               i'm stuck
here
inside this body
      and i want
to escape

unknown awakenings

i woke up at 4am
              it just happened
one minute sleeping
                            the next, my eyes opened
no matter how hard i tried
i never returned to the safety
                 of my dreams
where you held me closely
snug and warm
                                               instead i lay awake
                                         cold and lonely
until it was
time to rise
and prepare
                                  for the day
without you

to be replaced by
simplicity

and i think
90% of it
was because
of you
thanks.

it is an addiction

maybella snow Oct 2013

it is an addiction

when your body spasms
           you force back screams
the pain is inside
smashing your hand
          into your head
to make thoughts stop
to focus the pain
somewhere else
               clawing at skin
trying to stop that pain
                   internal pain
                       that echoes your head
          and radiates down your spine
     its an addiction
    to change internal pain
into external
                             so i can sleep at night
                                       dream (nightmare) free
