Can't Change
Emily Nov 2013
Last night I saved you
From going to jail
Although it was scary
I knew you were a violent male

You have some major
Growing up to do
The whole world does not
Live, think, talk like you

A nice man approached me
To ask me a question
You immediately got violent
And started to punch him

It was in front of
His young & innocent son
How dare you act on violence
In the presence of a young one

You assaulted a man
It was incredibly immature
You're brutal and a savage
Your heart is so impure

The real world doesn't function
Like your violent movies & music
There's a thing called civility
You need to learn how to use it

You say this is a red flag
For most women, well,
I'm included in that category
And last night was hell

I saw the side of you
That I try to contain
But I guess I need to learn
That some people can't change
Last night this middle aged man and his son innocently approached me to ask me a question. My friend went crazy and started to attack this man for NO reason, right in front of his young son. I had to force my friend off of this man and thankfully, the man didn't call the cops. I yelled at my friend and made him apologize to the man and his son. I feel horrible for them both, but especially the boy who was most definitely traumatized by my friend's actions. My friend has a history of being prone to violent behavior. He has some mental issues but none justify his actions. I am trying to teach him that that is NOT normal and that resorting to violence is never the answer. One can't just lay their hands on someone for NOTHING. Honestly, truly scared. Next time my friend won't be so lucky.

I Can't Help
Emily Nov 2013
I can't help
But always think of you
I can't help
But always want to know your thoughts
I can't help
But always want to tell you you're beautiful
I can't help
But always want to be a part of your every day
I can't help
But always ponder about what you're doing
I can't help
But always want to have your heart
I can't help
But always want to give you mine
I can't help
But always think maybe someday you'd give me it
I can't help
But always wonder if you ever think about me
I can't help
But always want you to see
That I love you so much
And always will
Even though it hurts

Always
Emily Nov 2013
We had a good run
Thought you were my only one
But when things had to end
You still remained my closest friend
Now that it's been a while
Rarely do we ever smile
Something has come between us
Now we lack in trust
I wish I could erase
This feeling of disgrace
I have so much guilt
Over destroying what we've built
I fear the loss of you
Even though we've been through
Everything and anything
Now you are missing
From my every day
I'm hoping for a way
To somehow reconnect
And change this defect
I want us to be strong
Where nothing can go wrong
That is how we used to be
And you still mean that much to me
My love and care will never fleet
Because without it I am incomplete
Missing someone that was my constant for a very long time. He will always have a special place in my heart.

That Was Then, This Is Now
Emily Nov 2013
You can't hold my past against me
I know what I did was wrong
But at least I realize it
And will never do it again
You can't say you forgive me
And then when we argue
Bring it up and shove it in my face
How am I, how are we
Supposed to move on
If you constantly do that?
When I get frustrated
It's because of the now
Not because of the then
If only we could start over
And forget everything
That brought us to here
Nowhere

Stuck
Emily Nov 2013
I'm in a stagnant place
Stuck on autopilot
Don't even recognize my face
Always reserved, always quiet

I feel very alone
Even with family & friends
I am always prone
To feel like I'm at my end

Every day is not new
No motivation, just doubt
An endless cycle of devalue
All I ever do is space out

I get drunk and high
To try & escape this reality
But all I do is ask why
Not even drugs are enough for me

I wonder when this will leave
And when I'll feel normal
I don't think I'll ever believe
That I'll feel anything but mournful

I only wish to sleep all day
And stay hidden in my bed
That is the only way
To cope with these thoughts in my head

When You Leave Someone
Emily Nov 2013
I'd rather have my heart broken
Than be the one to hurt another
The feelings of guilt and deception
Creep up taking over the mind
It's hard to sleep at night
When you leave someone
Because feelings went astray
There are no words
That one could possibly say
When you leave someone
You actually feel like the devil
******* the life out of someone
Stooping to the lowest level
When you leave someone
It is all so confusing
What led us to here
It leaves us refusing
Our reality
Once so in love
Now fighting with brutality
I feel so wrong
For leaving you that one day
I broke your heart
I wish I could've stayed
But it's ironic
How things unravel
Now my heart is broken
And I'm left baffled
By our awkward friendship
I hope you can forgive me
Didn't want to destroy you
Didn't think I possessed
Such a power
Didn't think I could feel
Any lower
But I do
I hope you know
How much I loved you
And always will
Dedicated to my first love, we lasted one month shy of 4 years. 03/02/2008-02/10/2012.

Multitalented
Emily Nov 2013
My boyfriend is
Multitalented
He sings beautifully
Voice of an angel
Used to be a madrigal
He can draw
From caricatures to portraits
Leaves me in awe
He writes rhymes
Raps and beats
Some deep, some sweet
He can skate
Shreds the park
Wheels leave a mark
How did I get so lucky
A dash of fate
And a pinch of destiny
Because he and I
Were meant to be

Broke our bond

Tu silencio
Es mejor
Que tus mentiras
Ya me cansé
De ti
Y como tiras
Mi corazón
A la tierra
No aguanto
Nada más
De tus
Juegos de la mente
No quiero saber
Nada más
Sobre ti y la gente
Con quien
Estás
Quitate
De mi vida
Nunca quiero
Oir de ti
Por nuevo

Title: Broken
"Your silence
Is better
Than your lies
I am tired
Of you
And how you throw
My heart
To the ground
I can't stand
Any more
Of your
Mind games
I don't want to know
Any more
About you and the people
With whom
You are with
Get yourself out
Of my life
I never want
To hear from you

Infallible Love
Emily Nov 2013
When crisis strikes
And panic starts to arise
I turn to you
And it's no surprise
Your voice is calming
Your words comfort
I sigh a breath of relief
As my worries avert
With you in my life
It is never dark
Nothing troubles me
There's only a bright spark
Ignited in my heart
And rooted in my mind
Nothing will keep me apart
From the assurance you provide
I've never experienced
A secure love such as this
I wake up every morning
Feeling happiness and bliss
Nothing brings me down
When I see your handsome face
You are my whole world
And I long for your embrace
When you hold me close
In your loving arms
I am so at ease
You are my lucky charm
Nothing will defeat
Our infallible love
And it is because
You fit me like a glove

Weather
Emily Nov 2013
As the weather changes
So does my mind state
The colder it gets
The more I feel great

Fall is upon us
Winter is soon to follow
And during these months
I feel less hollow

Bundling up
And drinking hot tea
Makes for a calming day to day
Always feeling free

Scarf around my neck
Hoodie over my head
Nothing to do
Except cuddle in bed

Weather is powerful
It can change moods
I let it work its magic
Only hope it alludes

It's the time to reflect
During this time of year
On all we've been blessed with
With that, our purpose becomes clear

Only love, laughter, and joy
Cancel out the negative
Appreciate what surrounds you
And everything is positive

I can't quite express
What weather does
But it changes something in me
And I'm filled with love

Nature is a beautiful thing
Insanely under appreciated
But it's something I cherish
Because my peace it created

Trust is broken
Your words misspoken
But now my eyes are open
For you I feel no emotion
You're a liar
And a thief
I've lost desire
What a relief
You have no clue
Of what you've wasted
But I always knew
I wasn't appreciated
It's all my fault
Buying all of your crap
You're full of ****
And I hate that
I will not make
The same mistake
Don't even attempt
To make amends
I am finished
Giving myself freely
Go torture someone else
I'm done with you completely

Forever Mine
Emily Nov 2013
I sleep soundly
With him beside me
Almost every night
We hold each other tight
There's nothing that I lack
I know he has my back
He is so generous
God has a plan for us
It's a beautiful thing
When he talks about a ring
Calls me his spouse
Wants to buy me a house
This is perfect, this is rare
He's my soulmate, this I swear
Our love is strong
It's based off our bond
A best friendship
Evolved into
A dream relationship
Thank you God
For such a blessing
Almost 6 years strong :)

Never Again
Emily Nov 2013
My dreams are haunted
With only one thought
My soul has rotted
I'm alone and distraught

My heart feels cold
From all it has lost
The love you withhold
Is worth no cost

It causes me pain
When I'm left in the dark
Makes it feel like a game
You've sure left your mark

Your imprint will stick
On my heart forever
I won't fall for this trick
Not again, not ever

It feels as though
A heavy brick is on my heart
Misery and woe
My humanity departs

I can't stand the idea
Of you anymore
I wish for amnesia
And the power to ignore

You've lied too much
And I must let go
I'm releasing the clutch
I have never felt so low

Disappear
Emily Nov 2013
Wanting to live a different life
Is the hardest obstacle to overcome
Because it's impossible
You're stuck in the body you've been given
You're stuck in the mind that feels like a prison
There's no way out
Just pure misery
Loneliness and doubt
Not only do I hate myself
But everyone around me
Doesn't seem to give a ****
If I just disappeared
That would actually be good luck
Constantly feeling like I'm sick
Makes every day a living hell
My heart's in my stomach
That's not where it belongs
I can tell
The dissatisfaction life brings
Almost seems like a joke
Is this a ******* nightmare?
Excuse me while I choke
Tomorrow will be the same
No hope, no love
Only bitterness and shame
My want to escape
Is stronger than my want
For even the finest things
If only I could just
Disappear

That Loving Feeling

Have no fear
Don't hold back
There are things
I don't want us to lack

Even though it's strange
Our relationship's our own
Unique and one of a kind
Feel the love down to my bone

You've shown me a new world
Given me wonder & excitement
Every day is a mystery
All I want is to explore it

I believe I'll never tire
Of you and all you offer
You spark interest every day
You never are a bother

Wish there wasn't distance
Physical and emotional
For you, I'll practice patience
Our love is not disposable

My heart feels something special
Just for you, my love
It'll never go away
You fit me like a glove

So I hope you're ready
To give me what you got
'Cause I'm coming after you
I like you a whole lot

A Dream

Give me your mind
Give me your body
Give me your soul
I promise to keep you
Safe and whole

You're everything
I want and need
But I don't want half of you
I want all, indeed
Your thoughts
Your love
Your care
Your ***
These things I yearn for
These things I'll respect

When I think of you
Nothing comes to mind
Other than
Beauty & grace
Strength & intelligence
Nothing negative
Combine these elements
They're what make me
Fall deep in love with you
Can't help but feel in my heart
That this is true

You're some kind of special
A type I've never experienced
I hope it never ends
Cuz about you, I'm serious
Thoughts of you take over me
They will never let me be
Your love lights my life
Maybe one day you'll be my wife
Not that great and a little corny but I don't really care, wrote it as I fell asleep.

Some People
Emily Oct 2013
There are some people
Who wear their heart
Openly on their sleeve
Only to have it
Violently ripped off
And never cherished

There are some people
Who invest far too much care
In the world around them
And end up getting hurt
By nearly everyone
No expectations are met

There are some people
Who worry themselves sick
With the thought
That they are unloved
All because someone else
Is incompetent

There are some people
Who stay awake at night
Pondering the idea that
They are ugly and unworthy
This is a dangerous lie
Yet they still believe it

There are some people
Who wake up every morning
Fighting the urge to cry
They fail and let the tears flow
A symbol of all the emotion
They have built up

There are some people
Whose generosity
Care and affection
Go wildly unnoticed
And under appreciated
This causes them to break

There are some people
Who, after a while,
Break down tremendously
Enter a dark place
Only to return to the light
A completely different person

There are some people
Who experience so much let down
And so much heart break
That their heart is no longer
On their sleeve, it's nowhere
All at the fault of another

There are some people
Who have to learn
To give up on those
That are incapable of affection
Incapable of selflessness
And move on to what they deserve

I am one of those people
And I refuse to keep sinking
At the hands of people
Who couldn't care less
About me and my love
I am worthy of much more
Turning a new leaf.

Different Layer

The layers to your mind
And the levels of depth
To your broken soul
Strike something in me
And I just have to know
Everything about you
And all of your thoughts
I only wish to help you through
And untangle your mind's knots

You are the victim
Of a unique circumstance
It's brought awful symptoms
But I'm hoping I get the chance
To bring you comfort
And allow you to feel secure
Then maybe I could convert
Your tarnished heart to pure

I want to help pull you
Out of this despondency
Expose to you the truth
And be with you constantly
I wish you could see
All that you are to me
You're everything and more
The one I truly adore
Realize your worth
And don't ever leave this earth

They grab my heart and ****** it

And I get sad
Without them, I don't even feel whole

This burden is too much
I can't play these games
It's confusing and I misjudge

My love's the greatest thing I give
I hand it out so freely
But then they steal it and I can't live

I must step back in my life
And regain control of my heart
On my own, I can see the light

Right now, I'm in the dark
Overshadowed by the fake emotion
Take it back, I'd rather be apart

Nothing is worse
Than giving yourself
Wholeheartedly
And getting nothing in return
I think I'll stop now
And just feel the burn
I'll get over it eventually
And then I'll start to see
Who's actually there for me
