nonexistent walls
gabby Aug 2016
i've never been good at putting up my walls,
i always drop the bricks and let them in.

i don't know what i want
gabby Aug 2016
they all seem to know exactly what it is they want,
they pass me,
and they smile as they go.
so i work at staying patient,
good things come to those that wait;
or so they say.

smooth
gabby Aug 2016
you're cute when you're happy,
you're fierce when you're mean,
you're beautiful on your bad days,
and gorgeous on the ones in between,
you're stunning when you're smiling,
you're flawless while you sleep,
and you're perfect inside and out,
i'd know this,
but lemme just check,
by exploring your mouth.

she popped out from the crowd of plastics and fakes, she wasn't the same, no; she was different.
but she was the mysteriously different. the kind of different, you couldn't help but be curious about. the one where you wanted to know more, understand what was going through that mystical mind. and so he did what any far too curious boy would do;
he went on a mission, determined to discover.

please don't be a ***** to me,
because then i'll have to be a ***** back to you,
and everyone knows i'm a lot better at it than you.

left with this
gabby Aug 2016
guilt weighs me down like an anchor weighs a ship down to the sand.

sadness tears me up like a shredder tears the paper, people deem useless.

anger never gets the chance to fill me like water could fill a bucket.

my passiveness leaves me calm when i should be as angry as a hurricane, so all i'm left with, is the mess left right after.

and i'm still left with apologies, like a cheating boy is left with all his reasons, but i'm really only cheating by feeling no need to yell or fight, for my side of the story; i'll let you win like the sun let's the clouds win the sky.

yet you don't need that, you need me to bring my foot down like the storm needs the lightning to warn others of it's terror.

and i will just be confused, because i'm sorry that i am feeling guilty, for feeling sad because i can't feel that anger towards you, so all i have are these apologies, for cheating life's emotions, that let you win my mind every time, and push in these thoughts and voices that can so easily take over, cause i simply can't put my foot down with them either.

i'm sorry i ever let you in.

be like water.
still and calm as a pond.
strong and harsh as a storm.
even when it all feels like mud.

so make sure you know what you're losing, when you lose me.

"why do boys look good without makeup?"
because society hasn't told boys they look bad without it.

your move.
gabby Aug 2016
but if you really missed me, you wouldn't have pulled away for so long. i can't chase after you; it's like searching for rain as i stand in the desert, and i don't want to spend my whole life searching for something, that doesn't seem to want to be found, so when you're ready;
*you can come find me.

be there for me
gabby Aug 2016
how is it that you can be there for somebody every **** time, but the one chance the roles are reversed

*it's suddenly every bit different.

this, is love
gabby Aug 2016
and i think i know what love's really about, because the way it is with him, i don't really have a doubt. it's deep, and it's raw, and it's real, and it's everything i had hoped, and i don't even care anymore what anyone else thinks of it; this, is love.

i care
gabby Aug 2016
i'll never stop wanting to look out for you. not even if we don't talk anymore, not even if we aren't friends anymore, not even if you hate me, not even if you had insulted me or betrayed me in the worst way possible. you could **** me, and i would still think; only the best for you. say what you will, but my care is forever. if my heart gets attached to you, it will remain there, because if i let you in. if i shared my thoughts and my feelings. you must have been one special human, and i will always have your back, i will always be there for you, i will always want your happiness, i will always want to know you are okay, and safe. i will always just care, a whole awful lot. and i could deny it, but there's never been any point in that. so just know; i care.

doubt
gabby Aug 2016
my heart is so heavy beating a mile a minute. my mind is so crowded the thoughts are flying by within seconds. my soul is so torn between emotion and logic; what's real, what's not? does he love me? will this rot? i hope not.
but my feet feel like they've been put on lock. my fists are clenched, just as my lips are shut, and though i feel i know all the answers, still; i leave the spaces blank and unknown.

the melody of home
gabby Aug 2016
sing me a melody like the one's i used to know, where we would dream about the little things and sing about the snow, where we'd wake up every morning with a bright smile on our faces, knowing we had some place to call home.

— The End —
