Those Nights
michelle Oct 2014
Those nights when your body is the warmth next to mine
And our bodies, so bare, are what intertwine
I can't help but to believe in us
How much we love and how much we trust

Bruises
michelle Oct 2014
These bruises are my burdens
They are not for you to bear
I keep the colours at bay with a smile and a sweater

You are not strong enough to hold this weight
The weight of my broken soul, crumbled into a million pieces
You are only one person, I am only one girl

The bathroom, the bedroom, the couch in the basement
They all make me sad now, they all give me bruises

But you are only one person and I am only one girl
We will love and we will break
Don't fix me, fix yourself
And for the love of God,
Heal your bruises, not mine

Life changes in a matter of an instant
My heart has been wrenched and hope has been torn from my being
I cannot imagine the pain, the new disease that infects them all
My mind will not let me forget the beautiful face that was once part of my life
I only wish that I could heal the wounds that grow in their hearts
Steal away the loss and breathe life into their loved one
I have no more words
The world is cruel...yet beautiful
Let peace be seen soon
michelle Jan 2014
I crave you
The way you laugh, different every time
That small scar on the back of your hand
Your messy hair and tired eyes after a night of sleep
The curve of your back, solid beneath my hand
The stubble that brushes my face whenever you're close
Your soft, brown eyes that lovingly stare
The smell of you that I've grown to love and adore
I want you
but more than anything
I need you

Please, just be mad
michelle Jan 2014
I never thought I'd be begging you to be angry with me
But here we are
You have every right to be mad, please just be mad at me.
At least anger can pass easier than this sadness, this insecurity
michelle Jan 2014
Here I am, back where I was before
Where my heart is empty and my body is sore
I only tried to correct my lie
Correct this lie so our love does not have die
The guilt, it ate at my soul until my mind was a mess
The guilt should show you - I don't love you less
I need you here, your arms are my home
Your arms are the only place I no longer feel alone

How do you tell the one person you love
That you would rather die
Than be alive?

Lighthouse
michelle Jan 2014
You were once my lighthouse,
shining over the darkened sea
Now the light has gone out,
only memory guides me
Beacons flashing,
waves crashing
Where can I go from here?
My view is corrupted by tales of the past
My lighthouse, my saviour,
make my time last

Why?
michelle Jan 2014
Why?*
Why do I still feel so hollow?
Why can I not believe in your love?
Why do I feel like you're lost?
Why can I not see the truth in your words?

Tonight
While everyone got drunk off the drinks in their hand
I got drunk off the love in my life
michelle Dec 2013
I wish you could fill this empty void
I wish I could love without it being destroyed

Sweet Acidity
michelle Dec 2013
For some, the words leak out of them
For me, those three words are like acid
Burning me from the inside
Starting in my mind where they've sat for too long
To my stomach where they wait along side the butterflies
Slowly climbing to my throat where they get stuck for days on end
Maybe soon I'll be able to cool the acid by having it roll off my tongue
Washing it down with the sweet sound of similar words returned

Drowning
michelle Dec 2013
You are all drowning in nothing but your own worst fears
Struggling to breathe through the thickness of your anxiety
Slowly dragging your aching muscles to the surface only to lose all progress at the slightest push
Your lungs feel as though they are about to collapse
Your stomach is in knots and your mind is a mess
You hope to die in the midst of your struggle to reach the surface
You find yourself praying without any belief in God, just hoping for a helping hand
A hand that will pull you from the freezing water that has become your life
The water that has filled your lungs, your stomach, your mind
Anxiety
A feeling that washes over you with every thought, every movement

Your Love
michelle Dec 2013
Your love is like the taste of tonights first drink
So cautiously consumed
and hard to swallow,
yet so desired
Your love is the burning sensation that consumes me from the inside
The burn that slowly numbs me
The bitter taste of tonights first drink let me forget the dark side of things
Your love is tonights first drink

How Dare You?
michelle Dec 2013
My friends think I have no reason to be mad
"But you're in love again, you should be glad."
Part of me says not to care
The other says how could they dare

Realization
michelle Dec 2013
Today
I felt nothing

My eyelids heavy with sleep
My head filled with pressure

Today
I lost myself

My mind distracted
My body exhausted

Today
I came to a realization

Nothing is going to change

Unless I do

I Bet
michelle Dec 2013
I bet she knows you better.

The stubble that I've grown to love,
your inquisitive eyes,
your laugh.

I bet she's seen it all and heard it all before.

I wish I could be the one to make you feel,
to make you love,
to keep you safe.

I bet she did and I bet she will.

Last Night
michelle Dec 2013
Blankly you stare,
The television flickering before you
You seem so lost,
even with my breath against your neck
and my hand on your back
I plead you to look at me,
you refuse to turn
even as my hand grabs your face
Maybe one more kiss
One more and maybe you will love me
Dec 2013 · 314
Looking for a Sign
michelle Dec 2013
I want your heart beating in rhythm next to mine
As we lay in the grass
and trace the midnight moons outline
"Stay with me" I whisper
Silently you lay, looking for a sign
"I want you to be happy"
If only I could feel your love, oh how I would shine
feelings are hard to put into words, bear with me.

A Promise
michelle Dec 2013
I promise,
as I breathe my last dying breath,
I'll dedicate it to you.

You (Pt.2)
michelle Dec 2013
I now know the way you speak, walk and laugh
Surely, I know you are not perfect
but show me a flaw that changes my mind
I now have you to call mine
yet I still have to pretend
that I hold your heart
So please allow me
I want you,
the way you speak, walk and laugh
the way you appear flawless
the way you fight my grasp on your heart
I want you, to stay mine
This is my continuation of "You". Hopefully I will keep them as a collection. (slight mods to each one to keep it relevant)

One Kiss
michelle Nov 2013
Who knew that one simple kiss could mean so much to one person


Yet so little to the other

Feel, See, Fill
michelle Nov 2013
I feel the palpitations of a healthy heart through your cotton shirt
But I see the emptiness of a worried mind beyond those dark brown eyes.

I cannot make your healthy heart love me the way you have before
But I can fill that emptiness that sits inside your worried mind.
michelle Oct 2013
Doubt fills your uncertain, lonely heart
And passion fills mine

Fool
michelle Oct 2013
You tell me you were a fool
I lay no judgements on you
I hold you high upon my pedestal
And hope to God you do too

It's Funny
michelle Oct 2013
It's funny
How one day that meant so much,
Now means so little
How now I'm spending this day with him,
And not you

It's funny
How we say something is "funny"
When all it really does, is tear our hearts apart

This day will tear my soul in two
But I promise you
He will heal me, he will be true

My Demons (18w)

I am afraid my demons have warded you off
My demons are solid, my demons are not soft

No Revocation (12w)

Today
michelle Oct 2013
Today, I thought I felt something
A spark, a flame between us

Today, maybe I was wrong
There is no spark nor flame

There is
doubt,
vulnerability
and confusion

One day, not today
there may be less of the bad and more of the good
I hold my breath now and wait for that day

So Was He
michelle Oct 2013
You say words that remind me of him
but you're different

You're handsome and kind as was he
but you're different
You have goals and dreams
You have patience and gratitude

You're so out of my reach
but so was he

Remission
michelle Oct 2013
The joy flashed across your face
The saddened creases faded
You became whole again in that moment
and today was the first day that we believed in remission

What has been inheriting your soul has been lifted
The reminders have been removed from view
You are you once again

All that can be asked now is for continuity
Let the joy of remission and comfort continue
Oct 2013 · 343
You
michelle Oct 2013
You
I do not know the way you speak, walk or laugh
but I would like to
Surely you are not perfect
but show me a flaw
I cannot have you as mine
but I like to pretend
I do not hold your heart
but please allow me
I want you,
the way you speak, walk and laugh
the way you appear flawless
the way you fight my grasp on your heart
I want you, as mine

Freed
michelle Oct 2013
Your body wretched, but your soul untouched
Freed of your demons, freed from their clutch

Your Words
michelle Oct 2013
Your words act as fists on her fragile soul
The bruises are forming now as the wounds start to show
Her heart is now pounding,
"They always heal slow"

In the First Five Minutes
michelle Oct 2013
In the first five minutes,

The only blades that cross your mind
belong to the fan cooling you from above.

The only love you yearn for
is that of your bed and the warmth it gives you.

The only hate that you feel
is for the sound of a ringing clock filling your waking ears.

Five blissful minutes.
When regrets and sadness do not fill your tormented mind,
when darkness does not fill your tired soul.

Hollow
michelle Oct 2013
Nothing you ingest or confess
will remove the hollow feeling in your chest.
