Falling Down
Mystery Girl Feb 2013
My words
  Falling to the ground
    As I run
      Through the dark
         Further from my past
           Into the future
             A song in my heart
               Words overflowing
                 Falling to the ground

Feeling Temporary
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
Sometimes I am absolutely nothing
It's like I'm invisible
My words don't come out very clear
Or at all
Other times I am everything
You give me every ounce
Of love and attention your body can muster
I'm so confused by you
Sometimes you're great, wonderful
I feel the love pouring out of you
Every drop absorbed into my skin
Soaking through the walls I had built
Other times you are tough
Guarded by a million walls
Surrounded and I can't get through to you
Ignored and pushed away
I can't live like this
Feeling like I'll never break open the walls
Never truly being part of your life
Just an in and out temporary fixture

Remember Me
Mystery Girl Feb 2013
Remember me
When I'm dead and gone
Remember me
When you think of love
When you think of joy
When you think of hope
Remember me
For who I was inside
Remember me
As a fun, crazy girl
With a happy life
Remember me
Because I wasn't perfect
But at the same time
Because I was
Remember me
When you think of sadness
When you think of death
When you think of pain
Remember me
No matter what
Remember me
Forever and always

Battlefield
Mystery Girl Aug 2015
Here is where I stand
Fighting for you
Praying that you'll stay
Give me one more chance
I know you've given me plenty
But please one more
And here is where I'll lay
If you tell me no
If you leave me today
When your words destroy
Shoot me down
Here is where I'll die
In a pool of my own blood
Because a puddle is too small
To show how much I love you

Blue Eyes
Mystery Girl Jan 2016
You have the brightest
Biggest, most blue eyes
I think I've ever seen
And I think that
I'm drowning in them
Falling for you

I run through the days
Or do they run through me
How am I?
Fine. How are you?
Monotone
Going through the motions
Lifeless robot
Being controlled by someone
Outside of my own being
How long have I been like this?
Seems like I always was
And always will be
No control of anything
No control of me
Systems do it for me
I'm stuck on autopilot

One Reason Part 2
Mystery Girl Oct 2014
On second thought...

Tell me why
I shouldn't try
I shouldn't fight
Tell me why
I should disappear
I should give up
Tell me why
I shouldn't hold on
I shouldn't trust you
Tell me why
I should die
I should let go
Give me one reason
I'm dying to die

If Walls Could Speak
Mystery Girl Oct 2014
Maybe I'd have a friend
To comfort me as I cry
Exhausted from life
Maybe they'd stop me
From beating myself numb
Telling me they're there
Maybe they'd love me
Through thick and thin
Because I've opened up to them
But then again
Maybe they'd laugh
Overjoyed by my misery
Enjoying my pain
Maybe they'd taunt
Telling me things I know
That others say they don't see
Maybe I'd end it all
So they could rejoice
I'm finally out of their way

Choked...
Mystery Girl May 2013
Spotlight
Bright, staring me down
Sweat drips slowly down my face
Coughs and whispers
Sneezes and giggles
I can feel my heart like a drum
Beating violently in my chest
My knees are shaking
They're all staring at me
I swallow once then clear my throat
I open my mouth
And I can't make myself speak
My eyes start burning
I know what's coming
They'll laugh and point
SHE CHOKED

Slow Down
Mystery Girl Nov 2015
Can we just
Slow down
Going 90 in a 35
Pushing to get there
But what about here
Enjoy where you are
Don't try to be first
Can we just
Slow down
Stop to smell the roses
Sight see a little
Before we move on
Take a few steps back
I'm not going yet
It's all too fast
Can we just
Slow down
I'm moving at my own pace
Turtle pace
Taking my time
Trying to enjoy myself
Before it's too late
Can we just
Slow down
I don't want this
Rushing and speeding
Take a few hundred
Steps the opposite direction
Can we just
Slow down
Leave it where it started

Lame Heart
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
I've got a lame heart
It's like a lame leg
Only it's not
Kinda where it doesn't work
Useless *****
Does me no good now
I can't use it for anything
Except a paper weight
It doesn't beat to keep me alive
There is no love here anymore
I can't love again

Better
Mystery Girl Jan 2016
I thought I was better
Laughing and smiling
It didn't feel like I had to pretend
It was all real
I was happy again
For the first time in years
I didn't have any worries
I looked forward to so many things
But here I am
Sitting alone and crying
What happened to me
I thought I was better
But here I am
Wishing I didn't feel because
Being numb is better than pain
Better than sorrow and tears
Better than this depression

I Liked You
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
I like you better when you're sober
And can talk to me about anything
For two hours just because
We're awake and there's nothing else to do
When you actually care about me
It's easy to talk to you when you're sober
When your mind is clear
And there isn't any tension or frustration
When everything is simpler
I like you better when you're you
And not some spacey ****
This is what I knew would happen
From the very beginning
I always knew
I liked you better before we met
When it was just me and your poems
Reading and reading and reading
Peacefully reading
No interruptions
Or conversations to distract me
I liked you better
When we first met
And I didn't know your past
Or habits of drinking and smoking
When everything was so simple
Just late night long conversations
I liked you better
When you first told me how you feel
I could believe it even if I said I didn't
There was truth behind your words
At least a little bit
But now it seems almost induced
By all the drinking and smoking
You seem to do
Or all the partying
I liked you better
When it was just us and our feelings
When we had those 2 hour conversations
And we got to know each other
The words were real
The feelings were even more real
I liked you

Mystery Girl Dec 2015
First of all
I love you
Second of all
That scares me
I don't think I've ever
Been this in love with someone
In my entire life
And it scares me **** less
Third of all
It hurts like hell
You're so far away
I hate distance
You never know what's happening
On the other side
You never know if you'll meet them
Whether it be weeks from now
Or years from now
There are too many things that could
Possibly go wrong
With such a distance
It's not that I don't love you
That I'm not madly in love with you
Believe me I am
It's that I'm afraid
And I'm not ready for the distance again

Dear reader,
Mystery Girl Aug 2014
I'll give you this piece of me
Though there's not much to give
Do with it what you will
But here it is

I lost my mother
Just this past April
She wasn't there for graduation
She won't be there
If I get married
Or have little babies
And it breaks my heart
I know I've still got my father
But it's not the same
We're too different
He doesn't understand
There's no comfort
When I get bad
Nothing but anger
I need her
And she's not here
I've spent hours just crying
And because of an accident
Her car is gone too
It could have been mine
And now it's gone
I gave up my dream
Of going to school
Majoring in photography
(Something she helped me discover)
Making her proud
To buy a new car
So I could still work
I've got no more dreams
Nothing to look forward to
And I feel hopeless
After my car is paid off
In about two years
I may just end it
There's nothing left for me
Not in this life

Smooth
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
Sometimes I get lucky
And something smooth comes out
Like butter or cream cheese or icing
But I'm gonna end up giving myself
Cellulite thighs with all these fatty foods
Oh well
Maybe one day something smooth enough
Will come out to straighten me back up
Soften all my rough parts
Inside and out
Smooth out all the wrinkles I have
Make me fresh and new like a baby
Maybe I'll be completely smooth again

Love Is Like the Wind
Mystery Girl Aug 2014
I can see it
In the faces of couples
I can hear it
In the words they say
I can feel it
Around my family
But I'll never have it
With a man of my own

Cigarette butts
Dropped carelessly
Left all over
They remind me of you
The way you smoked
Almost a pack a day
Maybe it was half
I can't remember
It's been too long
I miss you
I hope you know
That I did love you

Disaster Strikes
Mystery Girl Aug 2014
One hot night
Four kids heading home
After a high school football game
Went off the road
Sliding they went
And hit a tree
Just a baby tree
Right between the doors
At the strongest part of the car
The car pushed it over
And rolled onto its side
One bleeding
Two screaming
Two calm
Help!
I'm stuck in the seatbelt
Hanging in the driver's seat
Find a phone
Call 911
Someone is calling to us
Is that the smell of gas?
Get out now!
Get away from the car!
Fire truck
Police
Ambulance
Two taken to the hospital
No major injuries
Just need to be checked
The guilt
I was driving
I was responsible for them
They could have died
Just **** me please
End all my guilt
End all the pain I feel
Please
Put me out of my misery

Broken (Reimagined)
Mystery Girl Nov 2015
I won't ever be the beautiful little flower
You had sitting on display
I think I finally broke
After being dropped too many times
Shattered into a hundred pieces
Let's try to pick them up
Put them back together
Almost like a puzzle
Wait, don't forget the super glue
Is this even working?
Where does this piece go?
Ouch...that hurt
Some of these are sharp
Careful now
Be gentle not to hurt yourself
Okay there we go
I think that's the last one
Not quite like before
But you know, I think I like it better

Apologies Died Long Ago
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
You're right
Apologies are too late
What makes you think
You can just cone back like this
I remember it alright
If I had it
It'd be smoldering ashes
I don't play around
You messed up
You lied
You don't love me
You don't treat someone you love
The way you treated me
I wish I had never found your poems
Never started reading
But not always
Just when I'm angry
And it's been a while
I almost forgot
Remembered you for a second
Tried to tell you I trended
Hot dog I trended
And I remembered
Being so excited to tell you
I was so ridiculous
You were just that guy
Who wrote me love poems
A long time ago
I used to want to say
**Hey. I miss you

Bring Me Back
Mystery Girl Feb 2013
When you're around
I start to miss you
I get confused
Wanting to tell you
I don't know why
But I want you to know
What I want
Where I'll go
Help me understand
What went wrong
Bring me back
To when I was strong
Tell me everything is okay
And bring me back today
This was written with the help of one of my dear friends. Thank you to him.

Long Ago Forgotten Memory
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
Nine times out of ten
I'm invisible
Like the forgotten bowl
Of soggy cereal
You left to go watch
Saturday morning cartoons
You know the one
Left until you're yelled at
To clean out in the sink
After it starts to smell a little
Weirder than usual
Old, warm milk
That's been sitting out for too long
A memory you'll never remember
Like the first time you fell asleep
Or your 75th day at school
Small and insignificant memories
Long ago forgotten and replaced
By the amusement park you went to
And your first real kiss
Overwritten by the big memories
The ones you'll always have
614 · Oct 2014
I Did It Again
Mystery Girl Oct 2014
It's been so long
But I did it again
There are little red lines
Hiding on my body
I was clean so long
But I've broken again
My skin no longer solid
Broken in places unseen
I feel the burn
And I love it
Help me please
I can't stop crying
I swear I didn't mean to
But I did it again

Mystery Girl Jul 2014
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME
I'M NEVER ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU HAPPY
When I say things
I **** you off
When I keep my mouth shut
I **** you off
And you wonder why I don't really say much
I'd rather **** you off
By keeping silent
Than fight like we do almost every time we talk
But you always find a way to blame me
I'm never good enough
I don't help
I don't do anything
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME
I CAN'T BE THE PERFECT CHILD
THE PERFECT PERSON
***** YOU AND ***** THIS ****
I'M DONE
I give up
Just get rid of me already

Feeling Dead
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
I'm 19 feeling dead
Like I've been dying
Gone for too long
Like I've been gone
Long enough for everyone
To lose their sadness
And just get over it
You've all long been over it
No more pain for anyone
Except me
I still have to deal with it
Feeling like I'm dying
What's wrong with this picture
Right
I'm so young
Have so much to live for
Should feel alive
But isn't feeling dead better
There may not be any warmth and love
But at least it's not cold, dark and alone
Like the bottomless abyss
That makes up my mind, body and soul

Last Night
Mystery Girl Jan 2016
This is it
It feels like the end
Everything changes now
It's the last chance I'll have
To see you
The last goodbye
Let's make it last
Dance under the stars
By the fireside
Just once more
Hold each other closely
Feel your heartbeat against my chest
Pounding like it always does
This is the last night we have
Let's make it count
Count the stars illuminating the sky
Lay on the roof of my car
Wrapped together in a blanket
Be together in silence
This is it
It's almost over now
Putting out the fire
Gathering the blankets
Packing up my car
Here it goes
The last hug I'll ever get from you
I'm beginning to shake
I'm sobbing too hard
You can't seem to get me in your arms
Quite fast enough
Pulling me in tight
Holding me like you always do
Oh how I'll miss this
More than anything
This is it
Time to go now
I don't want to leave your warm embrace
You don't want me to go anywhere
But it has to be done
I have to go
It's the end of our time together
The last time I'll look into your eyes
And tell you that
I love you forever and always
We're both crying now
And we go our separate ways
I look back and see you doing the same
And we stand there for a while
Admiring each other
Memorizing every detail of the other
Holding on as long as we can
The sun starts to rise and I turn away
Not looking back again
This has to be the end
And I leave the parking lot
Speeding away so you can't catch me
All the way home
Our last night will always be my favorite
And I thought of you as I drifted to sleep
Knowing I wouldn't wake up again

Not afraid of death
But afraid to die
I fear the unknown

Or fall apart
But I'm losing hope
For my broken heart

Deep thoughts and cautious words
Sharing secrets and feelings
Talking about anything and everything
It's all gone now
This has to be one of the most awkward
Half hour conversations I've ever had
Seems there's nothing to say
Is the spark gone?
Did the connection disintegrate?

No
Mystery Girl Oct 2015
No
I never want to see you again
Don't look at me
Don't touch me
Stay away from me
Your words are unwanted
You make me sick
I am repulsed by you
Your attention is unwanted
Leave me alone
Don't call me or text me
Disappear from my life
I wish I could forget you
And what you said to me
But it keeps running through my head
I feel so sick thinking about it
About you
You were creepy before
But this time is different
You took your words too far
Get away from me
I don't want your hug
I don't want to hear from you
No apologies
No I love you
You love me the wrong way
No get out of  my head
I'm gonna be sick
What did I do to deserve those words
Those repulsive disgusting words
I cant take it anymore
It's driving me mad
And making me so sick
Sicker than I've ever been before

Forgiveness in your heart

When you think of me
And know that I cried
I hope you know
I want to go back in time
To change what was done
And keep you as mine
I hope you care
Somewhere for me
Because in my heart
Is where you'll be
I hope you see
The truth in these lines
That I wrote for you
Hoping to rewind time

There's still something
That's missing in me
I'm not the girl I was
But that's who I long to be
Happy, smiling, joyful
Never really quiet
There was so much to say
I could've started a riot
But instead I left
I changed myself
Stopped speaking to people
And stay on a shelf
Away from people
Hiding in corners that are dark
Hoping no one pulls me
Into the light to see my marks

Your light that once shown through the darkness
Has dimmed and dulled
The sweet smell of your skin has soured
The melody that is your voice.....WAS your voice.....now sounds like nails on a chalkboard
Once you were everything I ever dreamed of
Now you are my worst nightmare
I fed you with all the love I had in my body
You took it in
****** it all up
Like you were soaking up the sun
Basking in its warmth
But you let the snake convince you that I was no good for you
You let it sink in
Swirl around in your thoughts
You let it convince you that in was wrong
That I was bringing you down
When all I ever tried to do was lift you up
I held you on a pedestal of love and light and beauty
And you still kicked me away
Pushed me out
Forced me down

Barely staying alive
Feeling like
I'll never make it
Everything pulls me down
I'm fighting just to crawl
But I don't know
Where I'm going
Who I am
What I'm doing
Why I'm here
I'm struggling
To understand
And all that does
Is confuse me more
I just don't know anymore
I'm lost

First Comes Like

What's that dating site again
The one that says
First comes like
They have a point
You've got to like someone
Before you can love them
You've got to like who they are
Deep down inside and all throughout
Right now you can go at it
Like a bunch of rabbits
But when you're older what's left
Is who you are inside
If you don't like the person
You've probably spent half of your life with
You're out of luck
It's too late to go back to the days
When you were young
Too late to change what has happened
Too late to get that time back
So remember
First comes like

Make you fall in love
Wrap you around my fingers
As if you're just a toy

Killed with kindness
Tortured with the sweet words
Deeper and deeper you'll fall
Until the day comes that I end it
Hoping to crush you with the pain

From early sunsets
To early sunrises
Spring following harsh winters
Changes are coming

Can I embrace them?
