I'm Not Like You
D Mar 2017
I'm not an idiot
I know what this is
I know how it looks
Don't give me that ****
I know what I'm doing
I'm not like the rest
I've had my fill of
Heartbreak and regret
Just give me some time
Let me say my two cents
Get his **** in order and
Leave it at friends
not like that

homestead
D Aug 2019
he is his own homestead
his heart on a string
he leaves it at home when
he goes out wandering
so he can follow it back
at the end of the day
he says his heart belongs
to me, yet it leads him astray

so he leaves traces behind
and collects as he goes
all the while waiting
is me and he knows
i wont wait forever
at the theshold of his abode
right now hes with me
for how long? unknown
edit; i like this more now, feels more worthy of the attention it first got.

Would You Mind?
D Feb 2017
I haven't written in a while and my pen hand is itching
to get to work and create something forbidden
but without unreserved and raw inspiration
nothing can occur, so it goes without saying
would you mind if I asked you to raise your shirt?

Eternity
D Mar 2014
Am I ever sick
Of all this Fighting
When will it stop?
I just want to lie
By your side
Soaking up all the love
That runs through
Your veins,
And into my heart
But things keep
Distracting us
Keeping us far apart
I'm sick of all this fighting
I've never known
Someone one
So cruel as you
To lurk behind
A caring facade
But underneath
Be as viscous as
The sky is blue
It's unnerving, it is,
To find that
The man I've declared
My soul mate
Is the very one that
Was distinctly made
To rip my soul from myself
And tear it to pieces
Before my own eyes
It's unnerving, this fighting
I'm sick of it all
I just wish to lie on dry ground
Soak up the sun
Your hands intertwined,
Lost in the tangles of my hair
Your breath, a cool breeze
Your kisses, my only care
Your heart and mine,
Beating as one
Pumping blood
Through are veins
As though our bodies
Still lived on
Our souls long gone
We gave them up
So to be
Together in this forever,
Soulless but in love
*For all eternity

Cheated
D Jun 2016
I felt it in my heart,
With every touch and every kiss.
I knew it in my gut -
A twisting sickness.
Now here we are,
The edge of forgiveness.
Trying to heal,
Despite the fear you'll repeat this.
The worst kind of heartbreak -
The kind you have to fight to heal from everyday
while faced with the one who brought the pain.

explore
D Aug 2017
still even now I'm left to wonder
because you keep making yourself seen
when all I've been trying to do
is forget you existed
you're so naively persistent
having no clue what I am to you
yet still trying to clean up the mess I made
well there's a reason I made those mistakes
it's because running away
is easier than facing what I don't know
and never want to explore

Vintage Art
D Apr 2017
with one hand you paint me
with the other, you hold
in your hand a wine glass
-- a sweet vintage from old

and later, as paint dries
you hold me instead,
both hands on my hips
-- the paint is all that's left
one night stand with an artist

Moonlit Shame
D Oct 2016
-

In secret we laugh, touch, and dream
and I carry the shame through the day

With the cover of night and only the moon to guide us
We stroll into the dark, hands clasped and breathless
Strolling through the dark, hearing music in the distance
There is fine line between adventure and mischief
One I like to cross when I'm alone with my thoughts
Yet, I'm always accompanied by my hollowest wants
Alone in my room, the moonlight streaking through
I shouldn't be dreaming of him, I should be dreaming of you
more of the same thing

A Night Of Us
D Feb 2017
-

you're all I want
my one desire
to kiss your lips
to feel the fire
of skin on skin
a burn so right..
kiss me
hard and fast
until we bleed
the night
a mess of flesh
and sweat and
joy
there's no other
I need but yours
fuel and fill me
be what frees me
set my soul ablaze
with the taste of you

D Jun 2017
more

I wanted more of you
  I wanted everything that you're not
  everything I know you could be, but can't
  wanted to feel you hold me, exactly like you are
  but different -- I wanted passion, undefinable
  not blind lust.




*more


you wanted more from me
  you wanted everything I gave to you,
  everything I once gave you, but can't again
  wanted to feel me ***** you, exactly like I am now
  but different -- you wanted lust, uncontrollable
  not love.

completely yours
D Dec 2018
it use to be me rattling those closed doors
the fear of losing you, the suffering through
of everything; drowning me until there was nothing
more than a shell of who I use to be left

now it's you with a stone in your chest
that quickness of breath, when you think about me
gone; walking away and leaving you behind
nothing more than a shell of the boy you use to be
i'm not going anywhere..

You
D Nov 2013
You
You're mood swings,
Side to side,
Back and forth
Like the seas coming
Tide

And it's only a matter
Of time
Before another wave
Rolls in
I'm lying vulnerable
On the shore,
Cool water brushes
Skin

But where my body lies,
Exposed to the sky,
The sun chooses to hide
Rays do not shine,

It sends not warmth
To battle the cold,
There is no more fire  
Burning inside my soul  

I'm numb

Without you here
Its like a tidal wave of depression
Knowing your near
It keeps getting worse by the second

I'd much rather suffer on the days
you turn your cheek to me,
Then ever be apart from you on the days
Where I long to caress your cheek

D Jan 2014
I have many flaws you see
But none could ever compare
To how my eyes perceive myself;
A broken toy beyond repair

My greatest flaw-- it tops them all!--
Is that I'm never good enough
Not for my mother, nor for me
Nor for the boy that stole my heart

And yet he says I'm always beautiful
He tells me I'm the only girl for him
But still I cannot bring myself
To believe a single word he's saying..

I have many fears you see
But none could ever amount
To the fear of not being accepted
And the fear of never accepting myself

My greatest fear-- it takes the cake!--
Is one I've held dear to my heart
I'm afraid that my biggest flaw
Will be one that continues to haunt

It says I'll never be beautiful
That theres no one who'll love me
And though I'm told almost everyday different
These are the words I choose to believe...

My Delusions
D Jan 2014
Outside?
I'm hurting.
I curl into a ball
As you lash out at me,
Demanding why I don't respond?
Because I'm scared of you, that's why.
Because if I speak, I might give it away.
I cant have you knowing how much it hurts―
Outside and inside, too; My heart picks up its pace.
Too quickly it's beating now, pounding against my chest,
It feels a bit like how your voice feels, a dull ringing in my head..
" Hey *****, are you okay? Am I hurting you, my little *****? "
Did you even say that? Illusions and reality―
I can't remember which is which.
I don't remember..
He doesn't exist
But he does.. Oh, he does
And he loves to tell me he's sorry
I try and convince myself hes not you though,
Because if I accept this part of you,
When he does show himself to me,
I'll be forced to believe its not him hurting me,
It's you.

But you wouldn't hurt me..
So I curl into a ball,
And tell myself
To sleep..

*Sleep until he's gone..

Definition of fool
D Feb 2014
I am the definition of fool
I choose to believe you
When you spoke of love and forever
I should have known that
The sky only appears to be blue

I am the center of stupidity
I thought I could control my heart
Tell it to only love you so much
I should have realized I couldn't hold it back
And that you would have torn it apart

I am the queen at being naive
I thought I alone could be enough
To satisfy your needs and wants
I should have known it was a lost cause
But I kept on trying, even when I should have run



I'll keep on trying, until you run away for good
Move on, forget me. You said you're good at that. But know I wont be able to, not for a long while anyway. I fell too hard, loved you too much, to just forget at that snap of your fingers. Remember that.

We Soar
D Oct 2014
Let's climb a tree together
Hand in hand, to the very top
Branch by branch, ascending higher
No looking down, not afraid of the drop

Let's use the wind to wash ourselves
To clean the filth from our ***** hearts
Then let's tuck each other into a slumber
Filled with the softest leaves, and shiniest stars

Let's then wrap our selves not in regret
But the warmth of the rising sun
Which wakes each morning with a new purpose
Being to bring light to all those it loves

Let's promise now to never look down
To forget all we've left behind
We're starting anew, forever, me and you
And we've come up here to begin our new life

So let's climb a tree together,
Live the life we never had before
Once, we were tired and broken
But up here, we're strong; we soar
Just a thing

falling in love with you,

Thank you sister
D Feb 2014
I wish my looks were worthy of envy
And my voice could turn heads
I wish my thoughts weren't so scary
But that's just who I am

I'm only sort of pretty
When you glance the right way
When the lightings off and my mask is on
Which doesn't happen everyday

My singing, can't you hear it
You start to cry at the sound
Not because it's unbelievable
But because it's terrible and loud

My mind, I'm not sure I could fix it
It's been this way since I was nine
Lost on my own in a world of shadows and hate
Forced to lie and say I'm fine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your looks are worthy of envy
Because I do it everyday
Your voice does turn heads
Because it's strong and knows what to say

So what if your thoughts are scary
That's okay with me
Because you're still the greatest person
Someone could ever meet

And you're not just only pretty
You're beautiful to me too
And you don't have to only look the right way
To see that it's true

When you sing I don't cry at the sound
It's not terrible, it's unbelievable
And just being honest here it is sort of loud
But you're my sister so don't even frown

And so what if your mind is different
It's been that way since you were nine
And no one has asked you to change it
So don't even try
First one is a song I wrote myself, and the second one is what my 14 year old sister wrote in response to seeing my lyrics. I just found them last night when I was cleaning my room. I started tearing up, just because of all the sweetness in it. I love you Sara <3

"You're so stupid,"*

Not two feet away
I stand still, motionless before you
Leaving the stretch of loneliness
Between us

"And worthless!"

My hands reach forward
To cut off the words I know true,
To stop the rush of air to your lungs
But between us

"I hate you!"

Instead of your warm flesh,
My fingers only caress
In a desperate attempt to ****, the liquid stone
Between us

*"It's me.."
Whenever I look at myself, I can't help but call myself down on everything.. Its a habit I should break, but its too hard and I know I'm not strong enough to change. So I guess I'll keep at it. Gotta give me points for dedication to something..

A good one, if I got any sleep last night that wasn't interrupted
by your elbow in my back
it felt eerily like a knife I thought, but how unfortunate for me,
when you woke up to find
I'm laying on the floor, finally finding my rest, however poor,
so you complain of love lost
and knowing your fondess for storming out doors, still I wait
with the words on my tongue
my body reverberating the tense energy swirling around us,
because if you do what I think
than what else could be said to mend to cracks in our image?

not much I gathered from the look in your eyes
a look I didn't have long to memorize
you were here, and then not
faster then I could summarize
you weren't even going to say goodbye

The wrong impression
When I told you I like pain..

Yet you still treat it like a game.

And you always come out on top,
Whenever you successfully
Pin me down.

You bite me, pull my hair,
Wrap your hands around my throat
Until I choke out loud..

Please, just **** me already..

he's always been my poison,
I've always known he would **** me
as slowly as any substance abuse
that brought me absolute bliss
he's a vision of petulance and
frustration, of hardships and loss,
and when he speaks I stop to listen
all the while begging for a kiss
of the poison I've been living off of,
for months upon months I was his
and I told myself he was mine but
the truth is he belongs to no one
because it's as simple as this,
poisonous lips don't fall in love
he's an independent man who don't need no woman.
