I'm Finally Giving Up On You
McKenna Carrig Jul 2014
no matter how hard I try I can't rid you from my mind, it's like I'm falling out of place and I'm still expecting you to be here and make it all okay but you're not here and you never ******* will be so why can't I just stop being yours because you stopped being mine a long time ago and no matter how hard I pretend I'm not okay and I hate to say it but I still wait for the text that you still love me but that's never gonna ******* show up because you're long gone and I can't do anything to get you back but who says I want you back. because I don't. or at least I don't want to. I don't want to feel hopeless and used and dead anymore. you left me.
you promised me you'd love me until your last god ****** breath but then you went and ******* left.
to this day it makes me sick
how you could promise me forever and just leave so ******* quick. I hate myself for giving you my all because you weren't the guy I thought you were. you were just another boy who made me fall in love  and I swear to god you love seeing me all torn up. you love that I still think about you in the sweetest way and you absolutely thrive on the fact my pain isn't going away. it makes you happy to see I'm not moving on. when you're all over every girl you lay eyes on. I hope that maybe one day you'll stop hating me and realise that maybe I wasn't as bad as you thought and I really hope that you miss me eventually and stop with this ******* thought that I'm sleeping with everyone who's ever said hello and maybe you'll realise that I still don't want anyone else to take my innocence away an maybe you'll ******* realise how in love with you I actually was and you'll realise that you're really not okay but that day won't come because you're too proud and you hate me and I don't know why because I didn't do anything wrong. I loved you with every single fiber of my being and maybe that is wrong. it's wrong to give your everything to someone who lies about what they feel. you wouldn't know love if it was what you laced your poison with. I hate myself because I cant get over you. I hate that I can't stop falling for your smile or the way you laugh and I'm sick to my stomach because you're still taking over my thoughts and my choices and that's not okay. that's not okay at all and I ******* hate you. ******* for making me fall in love and give you what I was supposed to save for someone who I need to spend the rest if my life with but THAT WAS YOU, no not was, THATS STILL YOU. I STILL WANT YOU. I STILL WANT YOU TO KISS ME AND I WANT YOU TO TOUCH MY CHEEK AND KISS MY LIPS AND PRETEND YOU LOVE ME AGAIN BUT NO. YOURE GONE. YOURE ******* GONE. AND WRITING CANT EVEN BEGIN TO HELP ME THIS TIME. YOU CHANGED ME. YOU MADE ME INTO THE PERSON I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULD NEVER BE

The Girl With Pink Hair
McKenna Carrig Feb 2014
there's this girl with the pink hair, she has this never ending feeling of depression and despair
She's got this smile, that outshines the whole entire sky, but no one knows she has scars that start at her wrist, and trail down her hips, and end on her thigh.
Her eyes the colour of the ocean, she's reckless and outgoing, she's got this kind of mind, and she'll stay strong in person, but at night she wants to die.
her voice is loud and gentle, it makes the blue birds sing.
she can make me laugh, with all the right words and sayings. she says she's okay but I know instead of killing all the Demond's in her mind, herself is the one she's slaying.
McKenna Carrig Jun 2014
you've hurt me in ways unexplainable by words,
but you're still my sky my stars, you're my whole ******* world
I feel your fingertips glide along my blood stained hip while I ruin my complexion with yet another rip.
I'll never be good enough but I'll let you continue to **** me
i lay in bed and think about all the things that we could, but never will be.

Lonley Nights
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
it's 11 pm on a Saturday
and I want your body next to mine
it's 11:01pm on a Saturday
and I can't stop thinking about your perfect green eyes.
it's 11:02pm on a Saturday
and you're asleep in your bed
it's 11:03 on a Saturday
and I can't stop wishing you were here instead.
it's 11:04 on a Saturday
and the snow has fallen for the first time
it's 11:05 on a Saturday
and I wish you were here to keep my body alive.
it's 11:06 on a Saturday
and I know that you're my whole world
it's 11:07 on a Sarurday
and I'm just fine with it because I'm you're baby girl
it's 11:08 on a Saturday
and I feel so in love
it's 11:09 on a Saturday
and you're my only one.

drunk poetry
McKenna Carrig Jun 2014
i can't live without you.
it's just not possible.
I know you're terribly mad right now
and I'm sorry for being such a fuvk up
I love you more than life itself.
and I go crazy at the thought of you and someone else
you're my world and I love everything about you. I've come to realise I can't even breathe without you.
you're so perfect and I've fallen in love with all your flaws.
even though I make you really mad. you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and you're all I want to have.
I want to spend the rest of my life locked up in your arms.
and I want you to know you make me feel my best, you keep me safe from any harm.
I love you more than words can allow me to express.
and you're the only person I want to see me undress.
love can't even describe what I feel towards you, you make me happier each day. I love you more than I love myself, I'm so in love with you babe, so baby please don't go away.

Summer Night
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
Eyes green with envy and face red with rage. Your arms wrapped around her and your fingers planted on her waist.
Your lips must've been wonderful, after all those cigarettes and that beer. but you kept whispering her name, something I just couldn't bear.
While I just stood there imagining how easy it would be to race away but somehow keeping calm, the moon whispered to the stars, then they glistened and feel from the sky and I envied them terribly, because after all they were the ones who could fly.

Volcanos
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
volcanos form at the end of my wrist, erupting with every glide of the blade.
The lava flows and doesn't stop, but this time I'm not afraid
When I put water on the spot of red, it burns just as lava should. but it's not enough to make me dead.
I close my eyes and take another swipe and because this one is finally deep enough, it'll all be alright.
I open my eyes and look out the window at the many stars. then down at my many scars.  
I look at the sky, saying my last goodbye, I slip off into the night.

Ocean
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
I'm standing at the ocean,
staring out at sea.
I've collected all of my doubts,
but they were taken away with the breeze.

I'm standing at the ocean,
my soul gets lost in the waves.
I try hard to call it back,
but she loves to misbehave.

I'm standing at the ocean,
my mind is turning blue.
I'm thinking about letting it swallow me, because I'll never feel whole without you.

I'm standing at the ocean,
but all I can hear is your voice.
The last time you told me you loved me, and how you never had a second choice.

I'm standing at the ocean,
about to jump in,
I just wanted to let you know dear,
I've loved you ever since the day we began.

I want so badly to slit my wrists,
to give you the chance to forget I even exist.
to put myself out of this misery and finally be alright
to take the blade to my wrists and let the Demond's win this fight.
to add to the scars and marks
to make you see that I'm stuck here In the dark
to wipe this smile off my face and replace it with the look of death that seems to fit right in place
over a hundred times I've slid the blade and kissed the worries goodbye
I've let the blood drip from my arms and the tears stream down my cheeks and I've also ****** it all up in front of you, just to make you feel like you're doing something right.
I wish you knew how much you hurt me, just by glancing at her.
you don't want me anymore and I know it's true. so let me take a few more pills, maybe a few drinks of *****, hang myself up from this rope because it's the only way I know how to cope.

Drip
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
there's something dripping on this paper. but this time it isn't tears.

There's something dripping on this paper, and it's proof that I'm still here.

there's something dripping on this paper, it's stained the colour red.

there's something dripping on this paper, and there's much more to be shed.

there's something dripping on this paper, and I can't seem to make it stop.  

there's something dripping on this paper, and I should probably call the cops.

there's something dropping on this paper, and it's not going to recede.

there's something dripping on this paper, and this is my final letter goodbye.

I love you so much darling, but it's my time to die.

Desire
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
As you take in my every movement                                                                  
I watch you bite your lip.
With my hand on my thigh and my hair falling to my back
I take one step closer, moving my hand to my hip.
I just wanted to be someone you'd crave                                                          
Someone you'd think about at the end of the day,
You always tell me I've always been your one and only
but i know you've always been a hopeless liar
and i wish i could hate you, because you've torn me down so many times
just know baby, you'll always be my burning desire.

feelings
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
blood pump through you veins,
only to spill from your wrist.
the cold air fill your lungs,
only to be pushed out again.
The water from your eyes,
only to dry again.
The words from your mouth,
only to be ignored by the one they're meant for.
The snow to fall,
only for it to get warm again.
The flowers to bloom,
only to die again.
your hopes go up for him,
only to be let down again

Today's weather forecast
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
new weather forecast:
earthquakes from one to two am from my unsteady heart
gusts of air blown from my lungs as I attempt to catch my breath
downpour of rain from my tired eyes
slight showers from my wrist as I take any other swipe with the blade
with a slight chance of suicide.

letters were created so humans can communicate, so a person knows exactly what another person is feeling. There are 26 letters in the english alphabet. I've been trying for days, but I cannot arrange those letters in a way that explains how I feel about you. there are endless possibilities but I'm at a loss for words. a lot of people would say it's love. even more would say it's lust, but I don't want you to touch me. I don't want to spend time memorising the way your eyes constantly shift from mine to hers. I don't want to think about your arm around her waist every single night before you fall asleep. I don't want to love. I don't want to hurt. I don't want to be so wrapped up in you, I forget you're already wrapped up in her. I get so high at the thought of holding your hand, but remembering your hand belongs to her is the quickest way to sink.

You
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
You
you're ignorance is my bliss and your eyes make me weak. you're so beautifully arrogant and I can't seem to leave.
I've tried to get your face out of my mind darling and I've scrubbed the place your finger tips brushed, but I can't shake the feeling of your tender touch.
Your hands fit so perfect intertwined in mine, and every time I see your deep brown eyes,  I lose my mind.
You make me feel so many emotions,
but the problem is they come all at once.
I could feel extremely happy but sill on edge,
the pain rushes in and my hope crash down all
because you took interest in someone else.

my tears are turning into acid rain. they fall from my eyes, burn holes into my skin and the venom seeps into my veins, you flow through my blood and get caught in my main arteries and maybe if I carve them out I can finally be free from your haunting lips and I can feel my body convulsing, as I remember your touch, and I tremble with tears bc I know I was never enough, you're my main priority and I'm your second choice, you're the words I cannot speak when I can't find my voice, you're the clouds that bring nothing but thunder and rain but you're also the sunlight that brings light to my pain and while some people keep going for the light at the end of the tunnel, I keep going  because of the light in your eyes and that's something I've only just noticed even after all this time

5am worries
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
as I take another drag, the smoke fills my lungs.
as I close my eyes, your face floods my thoughts.
as I swipe the blade, my worries abandon my mind.
as the blood drips from my wrist, I take a breath of relief
as I think of you, my cheeks get damp with tears.
I write these words knowing you'll never see how unhappy I can truly be.

Pretty brown eyes
Puffy and red
For a guy who was always a storm
On your sunshine smile
Pretty brown eyes
Crying tsunamis
That's what he wants
Pretty brown eyes
Once so bright
Like twinkling stars
Are now blank
Pretty brown eyes
With the same color hair
Past your shoulders
Now in a bun
Pretty brown eyes
With your scars up your arms
You are still beautiful to me
Pretty brown eyes
Dead inside
He stole you
Pretty brown eyes
He stole your heart
Your soul
Your mind
Your every last thing
But
You still have
Those
Pretty.
Brown.
Eyes.

this is way to long
McKenna Carrig Mar 2015
this is for her

tell her how you're no stranger to unrequited love. tell her everything he's going to say, because you've spent months memorising every word he's ever said to you. let her know that she needs to constantly remind him that he is loved, he is wanted, he is needed. tell her how he likes his coffee and how all he wants when he wakes up is to be held. tell her how he'll hold her hand until the day he can't bear to feel her skin anymore. tell her how soon that day will come. remind her not to be scared of losing him because there will be a day he comes back. he always comes back. warn her about his lips and how they'll never want to leave hers. don't leave out how addictive his hands can be, one minute they'll be combing through your hair and the next they'll be at the edge of your pants, while he's whispering in your ear saying " I'm so in love with you" tell her to remember he was yours first. let her know how easy it is to fall in love with him. he will have days where he wants nothing but to say goodbye to everything this world has to offer, you need to remind him how beautiful life can be, tell him you'll never allow him to end his life because he's such a big part of yours (he will become your everything) do not forget to explain to her how precious time can be. when you spend time with him, there's nothing else in the world that could be half as important as the way he lays his eyes on you. he will want to leave, and you will have to let him go. he gets so angry that you'll swear it's fire he's speaking, not english.  he isn't capable of commitment, you will always be his but he will never be just yours. you will never be enough for him, no matter how much you want to be his home, the love of his life, you won't. you'll want to cry, you'll wish you never met him in the first place. you'll want to walk away and never look back, but you won't be able to because as soon as you turn away he takes your heart right out of your chest. he makes sure it's his decision when he goes and when he will come back. if he will come back. you'll want to take his sadness, his hurt and his pain. you'll try but he will never give it up. he will tell you that he is worthless, he is different and he doesn't deserve to breathe and it will **** you. it'll hurt you more than you have ever experienced because no matter how many times you tell him that he is the reason the sun kisses the earth in the morning, he will never believe you.

this makes no sense
McKenna Carrig Jul 2015
sometimes you gotta close you eyes before you hit the ground, it gives you the idea that maybe you won't be hitting the ground any time soon and maybe there's no ground to hit. maybe you'll fall forever or maybe you'll hit the ground with enough force to shake the pearly gates. If you keep your eyes open you can hit the ground running, running means leaving and leaving means starting over but after you starting over doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

What if..
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
what if I killed myself, would you want me then?
with slices in my wrist and my hair done all nice and pretty?
with my eyes shut and lips blue, would you still want me just as much as I want you?
would you still want me in your arms, if my heart that once beat for you lays still,
out of your reach, lost under your charm?
would you still love my face, expressionless and blank,
or would you imagine me like my old self smile on my face, even though it was always fake?
it doesn't matter anymore darling, the blood kept flowing, deep enough where I felt like I was floating.  and my heart was aching, my head was falling, eyes getting heavy. diagonal not straight. everyone knew this was always my fate.

I tried to stay away
McKenna Carrig Sep 2016
the day I didn't hear from you I didn't sleep. I guess I just needed to make sure you weren't awake feeling sad about this too. I couldn't let myself fall asleep knowing that my name didn't sit well on your mind. I didn't mean to let you go. I swear. I never wanted to give up. but when your best friend admitted to every lie you've told I felt something change. it was like a switch flipped. it was the dam breaking. it was like every time I told myself "he'd never do that" came knocking & I couldn't stop them from coming in. they told me I was wrong. that i couldn't keep defending the enemy. I couldn't stop myself from leaving. the damage was done before I got into your car. you lost me. and when you lost me I couldn't stop from losing myself. everything in my own head just led me back to you. it's a dead end. it's a road lined with gold but the *** holes are getting to be unavoidable. I've reached the end of the tunnel but there's no light. there's just you. everyone says I'm getting better. they cant believe how well I'm dealing with the breakup. but am I dealing with it at all? is coming over & leaving myself all over your lips really "dealing with it"? my dad said he's glad to see I'm not checking up on you anymore. im sure he'd be happy to know our hands still fit perfectly. he'd have to understand that when you kissed me, I realized you can run from your addictions. you can run but they'll always be yours. in your mind. in your veins. in your heart.

I want to sleep, and not wake up. I want to **** myself, I should probably shut up.
I want to hang myself, I want to overdose, I want to swallow the pills, until my throat will close.
I want you to see how bad it really is
i want you to actually give a ****.
I want you to care about me as much as I care about you, maybe then I wouldn't want all the things that I do.

I'm thinking and it's scaring me
because I can't get you out of my head

I'm thinking and it's scaring me because you're making me feel dead.

I'm thinking and it's scaring me because all I want is to tear my skin

I'm thinking and it's scaring me because baby the darkness is gonna win

I'm thinking and it's scaring me because you're gonna leave

I'm thinking and it's scaring me because the blood isn't gonna recede.

I'm acting upon my thoughts and this is gonna be the end, I'm sorry babe but I'm better off dead.
McKenna Carrig May 2014
I'm sorry. I'm so ******* sorry. I love you, and I'm sorry for that too. I'm insane, but you probably figured that out by now. I get so sad sometimes and I haven't a clue why, and I'm sorry I can't give you a straight answer. I'm so lost, I hate myself for everything I've ever put you through because you deserve so much better than me. I mean come on. I'm crazy. I'm so flawed and you can't see it, or maybe you choose not to. I get upset so easily and I take it out on you and I'm so ******* sorry for that too. it's not your fault. it doesn't have anything to do with you, it's a flaw in my genes and you help take it away. I'm sorry for not being who you want, I'm sorry for going crazy at the drop of a dime. I can't help it babe. I love you. I get mad for the stupidest reasons and you don't know that the aftermath of this war we constantly find our way into tears me limb from ******* limb. I can't breathe because you take my breath away and I just want you to be there. I want you to be there no matter what and I don't want to ask for help because when I ask I feel weak and I'm supposed to be strong for you and for us and for everyone. I can't show you that I'm dying because you'll blame yourself and it's got nothing to do with you. I hide all my feelings from everyone and I'm getting really sick of it honestly. I just feel like I can't open up to you because you'll see who I really am and you'll leave. like everyone else. and you left before and it was so ******* easy. how. why. I needed you. I loved you. I gave you my everything and you threw it back in my face. that killed me. you ruined me in ways you'll never know about.  I'm so scared to trust you, you're my world but I'm so scared to let you in again because of your past. I'm so terrified of being abandoned because you can find someone who's so much better than me and you will, and she'll be perfect in every way that I'm not and she'll treat you the way you deserve to be treated and I won't be able to fix it, again. and love, I know I'm pushing you away but I don't mean to. I can't lose you. I'm so scared. I'm so sorry. I'm terrified to love you because I'm so sick of being hurt. I always hurt. always. no matter what I say or do I'll always be thinking of how easily you hurt me. and I'm so sorry for that. I'm sorry I can't get over it. I tried. I've been trying since November. I'm still trying today. I care about you and your well being a billion times more than you could ever care about me. and I want to open up to you, I want to tell you everything. I want so bad to let you into my world because maybe you'd understand why I'm so ****** up. but you don't care. and if I told you, you'd probably laugh in my face to be honest. I tried to tell you about my dad, but you don't care as much as you should I won't even show this to you because if I did you probably wouldn't want to read it because it's so ****** long. but I have a lot on my mind that I could never say to your face and I'm sorry for that too. I'm sorry I'm not worth it. I'm not worth anything. I just want to die. it's taking all my ******* self control not to cut, and I want to so ******* bad. and I'm sorry for that too. I won't do it because I love you and I can't stand hurting you. but I'm sorry for wanting to hurt myself. I deserve it.

I really wanna slit my wrists or overdose on pills
hang myself from the ceiling or jump from a 10 story building.
I want to stop breathing and I want to go away... don't try an stop me because you know it'll make everything so much better at the end of the day
there are no words to explain how much I hate this situation we're in. and the worst part is if I were to try an fix this I wouldn't know where to begin
I miss the curve of your smile and I miss your gentle voice, you left me without a kiss goodbye, you probably hve a second choice.
and now here I am, trying to stitch up our sad excuse for a relationship
you aren't tryin at all, and I'm giving it all that I got but it's not what you want.
I'd like to say I hate you, for everything you've done to me, but I can't help but love you.
you haven't made the slightest effort to show if I'm helping or not and I can't take this pointless conversation because you know that you're all that I've got

kiss me hard
don't let me go
put your hands on my hips
and let me put on a show

I'll take you for the night,
become your favorite disaster
make you wonder why you
didn't come after me
just a little bit faster

I'll show you how I work.
let you memorise the movement of my chest.
give you a chance to hear my heartbeat quicken with every aching breath.

Bite my neck
kiss my lips
let me know im driving you crazy.
touch my hips
pin me down
show me that you crave me.

I like to pretend the storm that's been raging around me isn't man made, I like to think you're still sleeping on the other side of the bed, I always hope I wakeup to your lips instead of drunken phone calls & empty threats, I think about your hands more than I should and I think about nights in your bed more than I do anything else. I like to remember how you'd smile when you woke up & how you'd pull me closer while you were sleeping. I hope you know your steady breathing was the only thing keeping me sane. I see you in my dreams and I can feel you on my tongue. I wake up to a clenched jaw and grinding teeth, & missed calls from numbers I don't recognise with voices I don't remember. the only number I can remember is yours.

Still yours
McKenna Carrig Apr 2015
if I knew that was the last night you'd touch me, the last time I'd hear you say my name with traces of love and regret in your voice, the last time I'd have the pleasure of holding your hand or kissing you with cracking lips I would've held on longer. I would've kiss you harder, more passionately. I would've left my heart on your lips and my fingerprints on your neck. I would've held you in a way that made her body feel like your worst childhood memory. if we had more time I would've told you everything. I shouldn't have been scared to love you, I shouldn't have wanted to take you from her but ****, laying on my floor wrapped in your arms made me believe in God. it made my worst fears fade and my eyes shine. before you, I never let anyone in. I know you were hers and in a sense, always will be hers, but admitting that I wanted you that night was the best decision I've ever made. staying up all night, with our bodies inching closer together was the most intimate situation I've ever been in. Intimate in a way that made me feel naked, even though neither of us would dare to take our clothes off because we were too scared of someone finding us. I looked at you and I didn't have to feel insecure that you were looking back. I'd like to believe that you loved me the same as I to you, but we both know that isn't the case. I know you're wrapped up in her, but the moments you were mine were breath taking.  those moments made me whole, watching you love her is what broke me.

I try my best to hide my pain, to take my worries and sadness and just throw it away.
I try to do the same for you, but you won't let me help so there's nothing I can do.
I try to make you happy and make you forget about the bad parts of the world,
how can I manage to do that when you're paying some other girl all your attention, and not even thinking of me. someone you always forget to mention.
I'll try to sew up my wrist and place my heart back together, I'll need some help holding it all together because it's seem to have shattered.
I'll make the best out of a bad situation. like I always seem to do, and like a good girlfriend I'll put on a fake smile and tell you I love you.

Journey through my body
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
your fingertips glide across my spine, unraveling my skin, showing the staircase to my mind. you travel each step, going deeper and deeper. and with every breath you take, you know begin to realise just how much you mean to me. you find my heart. with every corner you turn you find another picture frame with your face glued in  and how with every beat it takes you further into my secrecy, but you don't complain because it's everything you've every wanted to know and everything I was too scared to show.

while you're asleep
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
while you're asleep in your bed,
visions of you and her dance throughout my head.
while you're asleep, I'm wide awake and my chest feels like an earthquake.
while you're asleep, I, with blade in hand look around and wonder why cutting would be so bad.
while you're asleep, you don't have a clue. how much I'm effected by everything you do.
while you're awake, i act okay. taking my tears and blade and hiding them away
while you're awake, I put on a smile because everything you say makes it okay for a while.
while you're awake all I do is wait for you to shut your eyes once again so I can let the drowning of my tears and the contemplation of suicide begin.

missing you
McKenna Carrig Feb 2014
don't you know that I miss you more than I can begin to show.
the words you lied made me think you'd never let me go.
it feels like half of me is missing and you're the one to blame, the way this ended makes me wish it never began.
you completed me and I can't lose you now, you're telling me to fix this but I don't know how.
my heart is telling me to fight, but my mind wants to let you leave, maybe if you do then the blood could stop flowing and I could pick up my broken life and keep going

Fallen
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
I'm scared of the dark and especially the lake water at night. I went out there with you because I believed you'd save me if I was drowning, but you didn't seem to notice that I couldn't catch my breath and was gasping for air when our shoulders brushed and your finger tips simply gilded across my thigh in an effort to take me under, what you didn't know was I fell long before we got into the water

new beginings
McKenna Carrig Jun 2015
I wish I could hold your heart in my hands and promise you that everything's going to be alright but my hands haven't seen "alright" since I was young enough to hope and dream that my dad would stop worshiping some God he'll  never meet and start worshiping his own flesh and blood, and I could fall in love with your eyes but that would mean staying and the windows have been showing my name in fogged glass for years, your body could be my home but I've been kicked out of every place I've called my home since I was 10 years old and I'm not sure i can handle another eviction notice written in my own blood. I could fall in love with you but you have to promise not to expect something you will never receive. I could promise you forever but forever has a tendency of running away before I can explain why I won't make a promise to someone who hasn't bolted the doors shut.

something short
McKenna Carrig Feb 2014
starve myself until I'm thin like her, maybe then, you'll wanna be with me even more.

tear my skin and let the blood run out, unlike my love, yours always was full with doubt

cut my hair piece by piece, cover up my face so you don't see the heart break underneath.

My Apology to You
McKenna Carrig Mar 2014
I want to apologise for being there and wasting your precious breath because I'm not worth the ground you walk on or the kiss you used to save me. I want to apologise for keeping you long enough to drive you insane, you said you wouldn't get sick of me but I knew you would because every person before you eventually found me revolting and left too, so what would've made you different. I want to apologise for causing all the scars on your wrist and I want to apologise for not being worth the trouble I put your heart through. I tried my best to make you happy and keep you around but you took our broken promises,  my hopes and dreams for us and left  without a second thought, I'll apologise for everything else but that's not my fault.

I do not know how to combine the 26 letters I am given,  in a way to make you understand how much I need your essence.
there is no combination that comes close to explaining how much I need your love.
the feelings pump through my heart but there's no way to spill them on the paper, believe me. I've tried.
I've tried countless times to show you that you're the one, but words don't seem to be enough.
the lines on that are etched into my body are the results of failed attempts to make you understand.
my heart aches and my body is sore from you attempting to break me with the words you murmur. they slip through your beautiful lips laced with poison and as slide through my head and climb down my throat they twist and tangle my stomach into knots. I spend my days in bed crying on and off because you don't want to be mine anymore. you know that I'm not strong enough to let you go.

Her
McKenna Carrig Jan 2014
Her
your hand glided up her thigh just as easily as the sharp pain on my wrist. the words fell from your mouth just as easily as the blood falling on this paper, and you'll never know how much I love you
but I'll always know how much you crave her.
her name pops up and you're eyes go wide, I see her name pop up and I start to cry, you don't love me anymore and that's the hardest part, I've given you everything I have and you couldn't even give me your heart,
but that's alright my dear, I'll try to sew up my wrist and place my heart back together, I'll need some help holding it all because it's seem to have shattered.
I'll make the best out of a bad situation. like I always seem to do, and like a good girlfriend I'll put on a fake smile and tell you I love you.
and I hate feeling like there's always someone better, that you're just passing time talking to me in hopes she'll want to get back together. I feel sad and scared because I have no guarantee  that you'll always be there just like you said you'd be,
Actions speak louder than words and if that statement is true, then you don't love me half as much as I love you.

Never
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
I'll never understand how it's so easy for you to let me go, while I'm trying my hardest just to hold on.
I don't get how you can say you love me, then turn around and chip away at my soul
I'm clueless as to how you can lie right through your teeth, telling me I'm your one and only when there's so many others I'm beneath.
I have no idea how you allow me to feel like hell after every time you say goodbye.
you're lucky I love you because if it wasn't for your unsteady heartbeat, I'd make my wishes come true. and all my best wishes are for me to die.
McKenna Carrig Jun 2014
and even after falling asleep on your chest all those times it took me  seven months to realise your heart doesn't beat for me the way mine beats for you, maybe it never will. and I swear that there's a fragment of you stuck in every part of my body, but most importantly you're the artery in my heart that keeps my blood pumping through my hollow veins and the day you leave the part of you that keeps me alive will disappear and there will be nothing I can do but internally bleed through out my skin because I could never show you my pain.

Tear me down
McKenna Carrig Nov 2013
Your words built me up, sending me sky high
while your actions tore me down.
You acted as a barrier, keeping me from harm.
but you never took the time to glance at my arm
The blue from my veins took a new colour red,
and you'll never know this but darling you made me wish I was dead.
You're hands explored my body, while your eyes explored my mind and I have many secrets. most you'll never find.

If your first kiss doesn't feel like the galaxy is creating new asteroids from the stardust that formed when you first held his hand, or if it doesn't feel like the comets are flying across the sky and crashing into your heart as you stare into his eyes then you should run away from that boy because he's kissed so many girls that even the sky remembers his lips.

Thoughts
McKenna Carrig Dec 2013
my train of thought has lost control
the tracks are way to worn down and old to handle my reckless driving.
Everywhere I turn your words are a road block and I have to keep stopping to get a hold of myself.
only bad memories haunt this route,
and there's much to many to even attempt to count.
I'm scared of what's going to be at the end of this trek but I'm hoping this ride stops at death.

yes I know you hate me and all but I wish you'd refrain from using my insides to clean up your mess bc I've been trying to rid you from my body for weeks and nothing seems to work anymore and i just wish I could feel your fingers intertwined with mine or to feel your cold lips brush against my own once again but that'll never happen considering you left along with all our empty promises which you made me believe you'd never break.
McKenna Carrig Jun 2014
You tear me down with every word,
then ask why I'm bleeding because those words shouldn't hurt

I know I ****** up, I know I let you down. don't tell me I've ruined us and expect me not to drown.

I can't speak and I can vaguely remember how to breathe, I can't function the proper way because after everything I've done you're just bound to leave.

I've always hated myself but not it just keeps getting worse, the next time you see me I'll be arriving in a herse.

I don't want to be.
I want to get away from myself
but I don't know how to
without somehow hurting you.

I lay down and try to get you out of my head.  I can't help but toss and turn. ******* it  i wish I could stop thinking about your hands long enough for me to regain my sanity but when you touch me its something I haven't felt in months.
I haven't felt in months.
I haven't felt anything in months.
either I feel too much or I don't feel at all there is no happy medium but all I've been feeling lately is the absence of you. but you're not mine to feel in the first place so all these words and pictures and moments that are running through my head don't mean anything because in the end your touch belongs to her. I'll keep you my favorite secret and you'll keep me hiding in the wings

You ruined me
McKenna Carrig Jun 2014
you ruined me again. you really did it this time. I can't believe you'd hurt me like that, but I should've known it'd happen again.

I don't know how to fix this and maybe I never will. I could smoke a million cigarettes and it wouldn't matter because I'm yours to ****.
you're doing a good job so far, you know just what to say. I've been bleeding since day one but that's perfectly okay.

you tear my down just to build me back up and you said it was just what you needed. you needed to break me yet again just so you could fix it all up

but what if I'm too broken this time. what if my shattered heart can't be fixed be your fragile lies. there's no way you love me if it was worth kissing her to watch this all go by.

you had her in your room which is the place that we finally fell in love. we'd spend hours there just laying together and planning our future. but you had to ruin it by bringing her to the place you watched me come undone.

it was in your bed when you finally seen my cry. it was in your bed where we made love for the first time. it was in your bed where we slept and woke up in each others arms. it was where I finally gave you my broken heart.

now that place it haunted by her kiss. who knows what else happened because I know how hard of a time you have with your urges, most you can't resist.

I hope she made you happy even if it was just for a second. I hope she was worth hurting me because you'll never know even the half of this pain, your words and actions being the only weapon

I could apologise until my mouth bleeds but none of it would matter because you're already so far gone from me.
when you see my wrist, please don't ask why, because you already know that I'm dying inside.
and if I'm sad again, please don't ask. it's because I've ruined us and I'm killing myself under this mask.
I haven't eaten in days and I can't stop crying for you, I've been sad before but I don't think I've ever wanted to die so much because I'm losing you.
why can't you see that this disaster I've cause is slowly killing me?
I know it's all my fault, you don't have to remind me. I've always hated myself but it's gotten so much worse as of lately.
you keep telling me I'm not the same person anymore, you make it seem like I did it I'm purpose so I could watch you walk out the door.
then you ask why I tore my skin, if you must know it's an attempt to speak all the words and emotion I've been hiding within.
maybe you're right, I'm not the same girl amymore

You're right.

I've turned into a suicidal teenage *****
