exposed
Olivia Mar 2014
a knife in the back
or right in the heart,
what would hurt the most?

ripping off the slightest smile
from those cracked lips
tearing apart the protecting skin
stabbing through the bones of shelter

hearing the silent scream
filling the empty air

truth ?
Olivia Oct 2014
was it your true intentions
to play me like a game
giving me hints and making your moves
walking 'round my walls
making me surrender a little more
with every sweet word

did you really just have the same intentions
as everyone else?

I am
Olivia Mar 2014
I am the moon;
not afraid of the dark
or of hanging on edge
I am the waves of sea;
screaming as I break
into a million little pieces
I am the stars;
edgy and carful
but shining for you

Before you leave me
Olivia Mar 2014
Before you leave
think about the marks you leave behind;

the trail of footprints
after running through my mind
the trail of scars across my heart
after every time you made it bleed
the trail of tears down my cheeks
after all the times you made me cry

Broken
Olivia Mar 2014
A broken smile
to match my broken mind;
Both covered
behind the fake façade
of a happy girl

Breaking down
Olivia Mar 2014
Eyes filling up with tears,
those mascara lines
Hands shaking,
just can't stop

Lungs gasping for air,
not getting enough
That moment of pure panic,
when you feel everything
shutting off

The moment when you're
frightened by your own reaction

That moment of pure breakdown

Autumn
Olivia Mar 2014
August becomes September
and in a day
autumn comes crumbling in,
with stormy winds and rainy clouds
holding us all in its cold hands

Untitled
Olivia Oct 2014
With the key in my hands
I should've recognized my mistakes
Being the same as before
Except for one thing;

This time it was you
Not them others

"Perfect"
Olivia Mar 2014
We call you pretty
We call you smart
But I know
Even perfect
Has flaws and scars

Bleed out
Olivia Mar 2014
Maybe,
if I cut open a wound
and bleed out
I'll be light enough
to take on the skies
[3/8-13]
