I promise to be your safe haven
Where you thought it 'd never exist
I'll protect you from your enemies
I'll prove my worth with every kiss
I swear to never wrong you
Or hurt you in any way
I'll cherish every moment given
And love you with every passing day
D Jan 2014
I'm a control freak with no control--
                      May as well be a mine without coal.

Like an old ghost, I'm only a soul--
                      Body lost a long time ago.
D Dec 2018
I tell myself I'm better, the best I've ever been!
then why do I still feel the same?
a stranger in my skin,

I've lost all will to live, deserted my wishes to the wind.
I know in ways it's not so bad,
but who am I to win?

I tell myself I'm better, at least the best I'll ever get.
because when things go up,
they come back down,

and by then I'll be dead I bet.
not worried about it

she was a good christian girl; long brown hair, never dyed, with pretty brown eyes that only wore makeup on Sundays; her 'only God can judge us' attitude a red balloon in a bare room where people didn't really understand her conviction.

he was not in the prediction; bad boy streak with brows pierced and arms inked, he smelled of cigarette smoke and broken dreams and everything she wasn't allowed to be; she liked it.
she turned away from Him for him, exchanged forever for temporary sin.

no one is devoted forever, everyone can be swayed to visit the other side.
D Feb 2017
There are so many people who do
and say controversial **** only in order
to gain the public's eye.
Not only on YouTube, take a look at that woman
who goes on Twitter and starts beef
with popular celebrities just so her name is in the news.
Tila Tequila is always posting the most
inappropriate crap, and I'm not talking about **** and *****,
I'm taking about praising ****** and mass genocide with passion.
Look at basically every successful politician
with the power of swaying the masses with
only a few words - I'm pointing at you Donald Trump.
It's ******* disgusting the lengths people can go
to get publicity, because as they say,
any publicity is good publicity, right? Wrong.
It only works because we
highlight it and glorify it,
people take sides and
the only thing left is a divide.
The only way to really stop this kind of
hate-spreading, fear mongering, classlessness
is to stop talking about them.
To completely shut them out.

But I know that's impossible, because
ridiculous as it sounds, there are going to be
people who agree with them, who will
glorify them and put them on pedestals
for being true to their cause.
So then what can we do?? I guess we continue
talking about it... and the loop goes on.  

Humanity isn't lost, it was never there to begin with.
This is the way of humans, there's always been
the ones like Polandbananas and Tila Tequila and Donald Trump,
and there always will be. But I want to believe
that the number of people with the capacity
to love and begin the change
is greater than the number of people
who are too set in their ways
to be persuade.
I felt like this could work as a spoken word after I finished writing it,
What do you think though?
D May 2017
I want to bash my head upon these walls
and cry until I can't cry anymore
D Dec 2015
You're the kindest person I know
Selfless and strong

Even when things look low
You'll know right from wrong

Don't give up hope
Don't try to belong

Be exactly who you are
Be you or  *die young
she really is a great person, but its like she cant believe it.
D Apr 2015
You inspire me
To be the girl
Of your dreams

D Sep 2018
I make poor ******* decisions
and I can never follow through
I'm sick of the divisions
and how I'm always doubting you
I do things out of spite
to not just hurt him, but me, too
I'm done hiding from the light
my soul and heart, I give back to you
considered referencing a bible quote
D Dec 2019
look within yourself
you'll be surprised
at what you find
with clearer eyes
you'll see the truth
of who's inside
that precious soul
you'll no longer hide
my horoscope said to do some introspection, that a positive change is underway, and i believe it, so i will.
D Jan 2014
That feeling you get
When your heart
Starts beating again
D Nov 2013
This is what I wanted--what I want, right?
To be held close with no escape
Tightly in the night?

With the stars desire burning above,
His once tender kisses turn into something rough.
What use to be soft nipping on his part,
Becomes wild, animalistic bites of love.

He tells me to stop fighting
And give in to his touch.
I yield to his voice,
My own lost in the rush
Of my heart beating against my chest,

My soft flesh against his--
This isn't what I wanted,
But you cannot change what already is.
D Jul 2020
i'm a crownless queen
left to wander the wastes
searching for a princess
with whom i can replace
if your damaged and just out of a relationship, allow me to make you feel worse by first pretending to make you better
D Feb 2014
It doesnt matter how loud I scream,
No one will ever hear me.

Look how easy it was for you,
How fast you got up and left me..
If someone screams in the middle of the woods and no one hears it, does it even make a sound?
D Apr 2017
-

and so even after
the sun goes down
and the stars
out shine the moon,
I'll still love you

*I'll still love you
"even after nights of breaking apart
while you were falling asleep,
my mind is still haunted
by all the memories --
of you, of me."
.

D Dec 2018
I feel alone in my sorrows
like no matter how many times,
you can't possibly understand
because you're too good at being you,
while I'm stuck being me
and the unfairness of it leaves me feeling lost
I don't want to make you feel as I do,
no I just wish there was a way I could show you
help you see clearly inside my heart
I know it can be dark in there but
who else can I show myself to if not you?
I need help
I feel sick
where


are you?
hmm.. trauma is a good word for it, no?
D Dec 2018
how can I be angry;
who is there

to blame?
D Dec 2013
How do you expect I look myself in the
eye

And tell that poor creature that all your
lies

Are really a blessing in dis-
guise

Just take some time and you'll rea-
lize

*Its fine
D May 2017
when i'm breaking down i can hardly force myself to eat,
let alone reach out and call you for the support i know i need.
when i'm broken and tired there's not much i do besides walk to the bathroom and back to bed.
i've always known something was wrong in my head but now I see the truth and it has nothing to do with any of you,

it's always been me.
D Mar 2014
It's pathetic
How addicted
I am to you
You could hurt me
As many times as there are stars
And I will always forgive you
I will always come back

It's pathetic
How completely
I let myself
Become so used
To having you around
When all the while
You've been giving me signs
That you're leaving soon

It's pathetic
How in just
Half a year
I believed for the first time
Forever might actually exist

It's pathetic
How in order
For me to exist
I need to love you
But don't worry about that
I know how to love
From a distance
D Jun 2014
I've never believed in a forever,

A mere fairy tale as old as time.

I never imagined nor pondered the fantasy,

Of wanting someone to cherish for all my life.

Never once until this moment,

Have I lusted after only one thing, for so long.

Never knew of a soul that, to me, called,

Or of a hunger to twist my gut and make me fall.



My morals have become blurry

Old opinions are seeming wrong

My views are drastically changing

All due to my less than graceful fall
I didn't believe at first, but I love the way you say forever too much. The rest can only be amazing from here.
D Feb 2014
God, do I ever love you!
And I'll take as long as
Needed to prove this feat true.
D Jan 2014
I have many favorite poems,
Along with a few poets I admire,
But I find myself wondering lately--
Will it ever be I who inspires?

I want to create my own world,
One full of beauty and hope.
I want people to understand how I view things,
And fall in love with my words.
D Dec 2013
Whoever the other girls [are] is,
She better know that I'm pretty ******* ******
And that if she ever tried to steal what's rightfully mine
I just hope she knows I'll send her flying back through time
Just so she can witness every kiss and caress ever shared between us
**** that ***** who thinks she could just walk in here and come between us

*Its just not ******* happening *****
D Apr 2014
Inside, my jealousy rages
I do well to keep it in
You whisper Don't hold back from me
But if I didn't, what then?
It'd only cause more arguments,
You'll tire from my useless imagines.
Trust me when I tell you love,
That if you knew every single time
Another woman walked past
I saw myself crouching to attack,
Rip hair from root and gouge pretty blue eyes.
I want- no, need -to end their lie
That I know her beauty is,
In hopes you'll see it too.
I'm just afraid you'll fall prey
To the illusions the pretty woman portrays.
You're ever so smart,
But trust me, they're smart as well
They all went to school on how to walk,
How to smile with their pretty blue eyes,
How to make your heart, beat
And downunder rise
It's a lie though love,
I'm what's really real
So don't look at them, look at me.
*I don't like the way jealousy makes me feel..
D Mar 2017
i'm not a ****
i'm an introvert
and i say **** a lot
Not mine, Tyler Cohle's.
Check him out.
D Jan 2014
Call me
Pretty, call
Me Beautiful.
I know
You're lying.
It's okay though, I kind of like the bitter sweetness..
D Apr 2014
Call me delusional
Call me insane
Call me any name
You can think of

Hurt me with words
Hurt me with touch
Hurt me as much
As you want to

But don't call me the impossible
But don't hurt me  just 'cause
I need a valid reason to forgive you
Come on, please? Just one..
D Jul 2015
Kiss me deeply, make me forget how it feels to be angry
Kiss me slowly, make me remember how it feels to not be lonely
Kiss me with meaning, remind me why my hearts still beating
Kiss me with feeling, show me how much you really need me
D Aug 2018
words and phrases
and mix matched pieces
of a language I never cared to learn;

words that mean everything
when you say them,

phrases that would sound like crap
coming from any other mouth but yours,

the mix matched pieces of a language
I haven't learned yet

strung together to make something whole.
he makes me whole
D Feb 2019
the days go by
like a storm in the night; unnoticed
i'm sleeping through it
D Dec 2013
Even when you loud
And hard to reach,
I still love you
Even when you get things wrong,
I long for it all

Tell me how to prove
That without you,
I'm nothing
Tell me how to say
In a weird way you've made me fall
D Nov 2018
if only God can judge me,
then let Him do so.
but if mercy is a given,
and I'm already forgiven,
where is the lesson I should know?

if only God can cleanse me,
then let Him purge my soul.
but if sin is driven,
by my own faith in religion,
will I ever be whole?
and what of God do I know?
D Apr 2014
You're not very far but you feel light years away
It's as if I'll never see that smile adorn your face
It's killing me to dream in a bed all alone,
Dreaming only of you
But am I really alone?

Maybe if I think about you enough, you'll finally appear
It's the law of attraction, I'll manifest you from my tears
You're 70% water anyway, if science is right
And if it just might work,
I think I'll give it try

First, I'll imagine your lips, pulling taughnt in a smile
It's quite attractive if I remember, though it has been awhile
Then the sound of your voice;
O, how it makes my tender heart
Rejoice

Next, your soft hands, running over the curve and dip of my waist
These memories, such sweetness.. I hope they don't go to waste
The taste of your lips as they move feverishly with mine,
These memories are surely fading
With the passing of time

I never knew which spice it was, but you always smell of spices
I can almost smell it now.. These five senses must be my vices
And you've still yet to show your face
Maybe I forget something..
Again then, just in case
D Oct 2015
The more I learn,
the more I see religion as a man-made idea
to make us feel that we are some how special
compared to all the other life on earth.
I think I'm scared to accept this
because without my fear of the afterlife,
what else is really keeping my spirit
tethered to this world?
Love?
My need to not present myself
as a burden to others?
i d k . . .
D Aug 2015
I don't expect you to understand,
There's a lot going on here, but if you'd take my hand,

Please know that I love you, that'll never change
Even when I've chosen to go my own way,

My love, my love, my love will stay the same
D Sep 2019
i've learned you cannot save someone who doesnt want to be saved, like someone who is drowning might just push you away
their darkness just too heavy, the tide simply too strong, and you cannot drag someone to safety if they have wished to drown all along
sometimes building a raft for two is a waste of time
D Dec 2018
it tells me no one loves me
that they wish i would go home
it tells me home is no where
and i'm better off alone
freezing in a alley
lost somewhere out there
away from all the people that
lie when they say they care
it tells me that im ugly
the reason for their stares
it tells me i'll amount to nothing
and dont i ever dare
dream of some day leaving
the voices far behind
because they're the only ones
who will never tell me lies
i do my best not to listen
D Apr 2017
-- nothing could prepare me,
        and nothing can compare.
D Nov 2015
Nothing is safe,
no one you can trust,
everyone's got their own problems,
life's a bust..
don't come calling on me for comfort,
I cant even comfort myself.
don't come asking me for guidance,
when I'm in no position to help..
D Sep 2018
I got a new job this weekend and it's going really well,
if by well I mean I haven't cried at work yet.

I came pretty close though when a lady asked to do a return for her
see, I've never done a return,
let alone touch a register before noon,
and now there's a line of people all waiting with their dog food and tiny overpriced sweaters,
all waiting for me to get my **** together and figure this out
figure this out. figure this out. figure this out.

but I don't figure it out, and this lady is so patient it almost makes it worse,
and I can feel a swarm of bees building in my throat,
threatening to spill forth from my lips and even though I try to hold them in
with a pleasant smile and clenched teeth, it's not enough
it's not enough. it's not enough. it's not enough.

it was my coworker that saved me from the bubbling panic attack,
when she swooped in like superman, but with ******* instead of bullet proof skin,
then the lady left with a smile of her face, a few dollars richer,
while mine burned with shame and my coworker, bless her soul, told me it's okay to ask for help

I got a new job this weekend and it's going really well
if by well I mean I didn't completely lose my **** yet
D Jan 2014
Like a cup of water, jolting me awake

It feels like you took a knife

And plunged it deep in my chest--

It's fine though.. I needed that reality check.
D Nov 2014
I wish I was like a flower
Only withered from the winters cold
Ready to bloom again in the spring

But I'm more like a carcass
Left to rot in the sun for an eternity

All the while, these people around me
Rip pieces off to take for themselves
Then turn away without a backwards glance

Because I'm already dead
D Jan 2014
"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..
D Jun 2014
Scars aren't only physical.
We all hurt deep down inside.
We bury it so far under our skin,
Its become too easy to lie.
No, blades don't deeply cut us,
Though we hold in our hands
Something great.
The words we use
To slash at across our mind,
Are worth more than every drop of blood
A blade could take.
Scars aren't only  physical.
Everyone suffers through internal hate.
We haven't got the courage for razors,
But our tongues do lash out with haste.
So just because your wrists, you decorate,
And your scars, you do wear proud,
Remember there are so many others,
Who still haven't spoken of their pain out loud.
*
LISTEN!
You shoul understand the meaning..
