Because You Make Life Easy
McKenna Pickett Oct 2021
You're the kind of person I
want to lay on the grass with.
See shapes in the clouds and
feel the gentle breeze with.

You're the kind of person I want
to go on late night drives with.
Have the windows down and
listen to blaring music with.

Doing whatever, whenever.
Always and forever.

You Taught Me How To Love

When Did It Happen?
McKenna Pickett Jun 2019
You told me you fell in love
hard and fast.
It's funny how you fell out of love
like that too.
Jun 2019 · 159
I'm Sorry

If I'm the one who taught you how to love,
does that mean
I'm the one who taught you how to fall out of it, too?

I'm Human
McKenna Pickett Apr 2019
I used to feel dead.
like everything I did
was mechanic and
routinely.  

With no feeling in my body or my mind or my soul.

When I first met you
was the first time
I was made aware
that my heart was beating.

That it was possible for me to feel alive.
McKenna Pickett Apr 2019
Before I met you, my world was
black and white
boring and uneventful
tiring and much too long.

Before I met you, my soul was
dark and gloomy
deteriorated and torn
hopeless and lost.

Before I met you, my heart was
broken and in pieces
misused and contorted
distressed and not trusting.

But now that you're here,
my world is thrilling and colorful
my soul is hopeful and bright
and
my heart is loving and whole.

I'm Getting Better
McKenna Pickett Mar 2019
I think I'm finally starting to
love myself a bit more,
laugh a bit more,
smile a bit more,
enjoy life a bit more,
and
am thankful to be alive
a bit more.

Maybe I'll Get Better
McKenna Pickett Mar 2019
I cut my hair short.
I feel like with the hair,
I've left behind the old me.
I'm just one more step closer to
finally accepting myself.

I Think It's Time

Nightmare

If there was one sight
I wish I never saw...
It would be your back

Please Don't Go
McKenna Pickett Mar 2019
I find it hard to open up again.
I'm scared I'll have to watch you walk
while I sit alone reaching out to a distant memory.

Where Are You Now?
McKenna Pickett Feb 2019
You said you'd always love me
so why do I sit here alone at 3am
wondering where it went wrong.
Feb 2019 · 484
Was It True?
McKenna Pickett Feb 2019
You said you'd always love me
I didn't know always meant until
you got bored.
Feb 2019 · 118
When Was It
McKenna Pickett Feb 2019
I've always had trouble sleeping.
It used to be because I'd stay up
every night
just to talk to you.

Now it's because it's cold
every night
without you warming my heart
and the tears don't seem to stop
without you there to wipe them away.
Feb 2019 · 266
I'm Freezing
McKenna Pickett Feb 2019
I know it's winter,
but it feels so cold.
It's a different kind of cold.
The kind that grips
your heart
and never lets go.

The kind that swallows
you as you lay awake at 3am.
The kind that slowly
washes over you
and breaks your soul.

And I wonder if it's
because I've been left
without the warmth
of your heart.
Jan 2019 · 105
I Just Can't Forget
McKenna Pickett Jan 2019
I told myself
I'd forget
every moment
every laugh
that I shared
with you.

But as I
lay awake
at 3am
I find it hard
to let go of
my best
memories.
