nothing ever grows in the dark
besides demons and monsters
bleh
D Nov 2019
the voices keep getting louder
the wall comes up too slow
there is no divison between us
her words are now my own
fighting yourself is tiring. i just want peace.
D May 2016
I miss you.
Why do I feel guilty to say that?
Why does it feel wrong?
What's going on?

I miss you.
You, who I've made the center of my life.
I miss you
You, who will grow to hate me in time.

Afraid to live.
Afraid to die.
All I'm sure of is I miss you.
I'm sorry.

I miss you.
"Being lazy is disrespectful to those who believe in you"
I'm sorry.
I miss you.
D Dec 2019
happiness is
a heartbeat away
don't let simple minds
lead you astray
live in your moments
smile through the day
you are something special
God's gift to this place
law of attraction
D Jan 2016
20 16 is finally here,
Spread only love and cheer,
And have a Happy New Year!!
D Feb 2017
your smile,  your sin.
your laugh, a game.
your eyes, lies.
your body, your shame.

inside, you're troubled.
yet your facade has no flaws.
you've played so long at knife point,
that they've forgotten your claws.
the will to survive
is tricky to find
after so many years
of only ever dying
D Dec 2018
have I told you how it hurts
how the pain never fades
how every remark from your lips
keeps adding to my shame
have I told you how I hate
every word from your tongue
that whipsers her name
and every her to come
have I told you I'm broken
every day a new repair
how I'm trying to fix me
how its impossible with her there
sigh
D Mar 2017
I'm done /writing/
    about you
Instead I'll listen to the songs
That make me /believe/
     they must've met you, too
last one I swear
D Sep 2018
inside I fight a battle
every day with my own heart
it screams at me to listen
begs me to fall apart
my heart has become a plague
feasting on my soul
darkened with sin
it thirsts for control
lowkey inspired
D Sep 2016

The hell we've been through
Yet, you're not religious
You don't see the difference
I don't feel forgiveness
Yet, we're still in this

Together
D Sep 2015
I would post more poems,
but whenever I come online
all I see is people advertising drama
and calling down one another
some people are just being idiots..
its not a positive space anymore
at least, not how I see it
<.<

D Nov 2013
I've come to really like you now,
So you should probably know
That the reason I'm still living now,
Is all because you said "Hello."
D Dec 2013
You're everything I wish to be
And I'm nothing at all
You're everything I'll ever need
And I'm nothing you'll ever want

And sure, you say you love me now,
But what about tomorrow?
What happens when we go back to school
And everyone's cold stares follow?

I'm scared --Scared of losing you
To someone else's selfish desires
But for now, listen when I call you in the dark
Be my lover --Be my fire

Keep me warm in the cold the late nights bring
Shed your light down upon me,
Show me the paths I must take to your heart
So that I may steal it for myself
Because I know that if it isn't me,
It'll be someone else
A thought I cannot comprehend enough
To even write about

I guess what I'm trying to say
Is this

I don't care how many glances get shot our way
It doesn't matter if your mind changes
And it's okay to make many mistakes
As long as its we who face them

Be my lover --Be my fire
Be my everything and know
That you are my selfish desire
And nothing I'm ever letting go
D Aug 2017
your arms use to make me feel so safe
but now they only choke me

a poisonous love I can't erase
you left me hallow, hurt, and lonely
**** that dude
D Mar 2017
why do I want to pack a bowl,
light it up and send my soul
into a marijuana induced haze?

could it be that I'm addicted,
or the dopamine too restricted,
and it just needs a push into my brain?
shut up
it's getting legalized
D Mar 2015
I'm so high, out of my mind,
Got me wishing for one last time,
I could've felt those lips on mine
Before I go..
Hit the road jack,
I'm not coming back any more
D Jan 2017

i couldn't commit,
i was undecided,
then, confused, and
trying to hide it,
i kept making a mess,
so I made my choice,
there is no regrets,
*only a hole.

shes a runaway girl finally returned home
little does she know
it's him who she should be running from
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.
D May 2017
together; side by side, we were
   supposed to get each other through.

I don't think I'll remember this,
   because sometimes it's not always about you.
hope, faith, belief -- they're all the same to me, they all lead to misery.
D Jun 2016
That little voice inside of me-
Hope is what I'll call her.

She wants to see the best in things-
I'd wish she'd never bother.
Why bother hoping things turn out fine,
When deep down you know it's all a lie?

I'm sick of seeing the brighter side.
D Sep 2016

I could cry myself to sleep
If there were anything left to cry
It's been a while yet, still I try
To forgive you, it isn't easy
To trust is so much worse
To believe you wouldn't hurt me
I only hope
D Jun 2017
holding onto hope
fruitlessly, the truth hidden
and hopelessly lost
D Aug 2017
What can I ever say? Nothing.
There's never going to be a right time.
Instead, I'll just wait to forget you.
Hour by hour, until you never existed at all.
Go away.
D Apr 2014
I'm so infuriated with myself
How utterly silly of me
To believe if I changed my attitude
Anything would really change
I got far too cocky today,
Thought that if I took charge
He'll have no excuses, no other option
But to obey
How incredibly silly of me
To think that slipping into my costume
Of confidence would be a good look
Even if it was only a costume,
Like the ones on Halloween,
A one-night-a-year type deal
How silly of me

*How silly of me
D Apr 2017
like the wind you blew gently
lightly caressing my cheek as you go
like the tree I stood ready
my roots planted firmly below
but a simple wind you are not
and soon your storms did show
you were my favorite distraction
leaving everything else unknown
D Sep 2015
You know something isn't right with the world when she can't even find comfort in herself any more
When she lets the words and whispers of her peers reach her ears, tearing her down until she is no more
I hate these people, with their stereotype bullets and words as sharp as knifes
No concern for her as they talk behind her back, not caring if what they say hurts her or not
Ignorant people with no inclination to see the truth, that just because someone isn't like you, doesn't mean they're freaks
But because she doesn't dress like you, because she isn't faking who she truly is
You leave snide remarks where she can hear them, backhanded comments trailing behind her wherever she goes...

You don't see it, because you don't know her
But I do and it hurts me to see her letting these idiots get to her
I don't know the words to make it better
And I blame all of you

when you wake up
feeling like a disappointment
only to end it in relief and excitement
when everything you thought could go wrong,
doesn't, and it all works itself out in the end

those are the days that remind me why
I choose to live
it's the little things
you have to look out for
to make your life worth living

You never fail to fall for the bait--
An idiot fish I long to hate.
I told you before,
Stay away from their shores;
Your stupidity is too great.

I never fail to forgive the fish--
An idiot fish I always miss.
While you're away,
I dream that someday;
Stupidity will be cured with a kiss.
Who is the Idiot Fish? You, or me?
D Apr 2017
I have to be honest somewhere,
might as well be here
I get the feeling sometimes
the end is drawing near,
I hear it in your hesitation
and the way you're quick to go,
don't try and tell me one thing
when inside, you know I know
I hate to materialize this in the world
but I can't hold on to it anymore,
I'm scared you'll never really change
and by tomorrow, it'll have replayed
that same little mistake,
the one we all make
you know the one I'm talking about,
don't you?
I do
D Feb 2014
I don't know..
                      
                      I don't know..

                                               I don't know!

But you do, don't you?

                                            Because this is your choice,

                     *Not mine..

I'd tease myself but what's the point?
Smoking hot, like the end of my joint

Body blazing with untapped desires
Feel it building, as I get higher and higher

Feel it burning, my little hot box
Still I'm yearning, hear the the gun ****

Barrel to my head, still searching for pleasure
Pull the trigger already, a fruitless endeavor
You'll never get me off like my fantasies do

if only I could mold you
hold you and control you
change you and reshape you

if only you were mine to design
but you're an imperfect
flawed
selfish human being
and there's no changing who you are
D Apr 2015
I'll write until my hands get sore,
I'll write until they bleed
I'll write into the darkest nights
To staunch this insanity
I'll use words to fill those empty holes
The hollowest parts, you'll see
I'll write until my hands are numb
And there's nothing left of me
D Oct 2015
I don't think I'm going to do it
But something isn't right
I was able to ignore it before
When there was no hope I might

I don't think I'm going to do it,
A part of me wants to let it out
I'm scared of what will happen next
But I'm just so full of doubt

I don't think I'm going to do it
But something just isn't right
Before I met you, I thought about it
Tried it out once or twice

I don't believe I have to courage to do it
This is something you will never know
I just hope my mask doesn't slip up,
Putting my true self on show
This is the most dominating thought of recent and I'm hoping if I write about it enough it'll go away.. I just want to be normal.
D May 2016
THIS ISN'T A POEM BUT*

I haven't written in a poem in WEEKS
Because I haven't had access to my account in MONTHS
Because hellopoetry.com asked me to confirm something with my old email address that I haven't known the password to in YEARS

But I FINALLY realized that I could CHANGE the email address I used for the site and OMFG!!!!!
And I'm so ******* HAPPY I'M CRYING

Because I put so much time and effort into my poetry on here, and when I couldn't access it anymore I lost all my will to write and it was so ******* hard to deal with life without the release I was use to...

I feel like such an IDIOT for not realizing sooner because it was literally so easy to do, but now I'm back and I feel SO GOOD

I doubt any of you noticed I was gone, but I'd like to say that I missed all of you, missed reading you poetry and seeing glimpses into your lives, and I'm so happy I get to be back with you all :) :) :)
SO ******* HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Here's to too many months away *cheers*

tell me again
how my beauty
compares to that
of a delicate flower
blossoming in the
hot summer sun

and how you love
all my quirks and
imperfections
because without them
I'd be exactly like
anyone else
.
.
.
tell me again
of all your plans
you have for us
to traverse the
globe with nothing
but each other
to keep us company

and how nothing
could ever get in
between us simply
because you would
never allow it and
that you would do
anything to keep
us together
.
.
.
tell me again
because if you don't
I will forget the love
you've showed me
and its place will
only be the fear
of losing you
.
.
.
How much time has passed since I've known you?
I don't remember, only that I've known you.

I've come to know the feel and taste of your love for me, and I can only hope that I will not lose it to the times I tried so hard to forget.

don't bother trying to understand, this one is for me.

I don't know if I ever want to have my poems
immortalized in a book, to sit on some shelf untouched
a reminder printed on blank pages; my love, and my pain
organized into pretty poetic arrangements for other's viewing pleasure
for strangers to know me that intimately on a level I barely understand
I can't comprehend--

my love, and my pain, indeed
the love I have is beautiful, and worth sharing with the world
but I dont know if I could immortalize the pain it has caused me to love so throughly
so completely have I given myself over to everything
followed the winding paths through heartache and back;
I would much rather forget them here, forget the past
cross the road when I get there I suppose
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
D Feb 2017
cross my heart and hope to die
without a trace and no goodbye
I'll leave you gaping with a hole in your chest
I stole the one thing you gave freely and yet
woefully in denial you scrape up whats left
which wont be much as I took all you had
you search and search but
you're always two steps back
you stop and remember how I use to laugh
how I use to kiss you and stare into your eyes
if only, you say, you had known they were lies
cross your heart and hope to die
you vow to find me or perish trying

I am impure
I tell myself
silently, as
you hold me
down and
violently
**** the
living ****
out of me
.
.
I must admit,
I really needed it
Don't hold back
I'm begging you
