Arrywill keepya smilin

There cute as a flute, Life by the day or rewinding the cassette tape.
Tha **** is an iphone?. I just wanna be home...
on the first page of the story,
stuck at an old age no more glory.
I have learned and I have yearned .
All thats left to see is what it's gonna be when I'm not around...
I miss that o'l playground
not much more to see no one knew to be , all my friends are dead well oh gee.
Life lined up is a mistery Live do die
....I'm just ancient history...
every thing is so new i don't have a clue..
But I am not dumb because I'm not young !
feal up to cry but you can't lie.
this is reality and it's coming your'e way,
....with no say,
your'e last day"
so don't dispize me, or critisize me,
with my old heart I'm holding on tuff
with my last puff
I'm gone had enough.

What You Deserve

What You Deserve

I love you.
You mean the world to me.
Your eyes still give me butterflies.
Poetry could never explain you perfectly enough.

Except I messed up.
These sentiments are getting lost in a mass of breakdowns and pity parties.
You are the rock I cling onto when the stormy winds get too strong.
But that doesn't mean you deserve to be faced by a stone heart.

I have received a reality check.
I am finally coming to realize how lucky I am to have you by my side.
Its time that I offer some explanation for the crazy constellation thoughts that build up in my head.

"Do or do not. There is no try."
A quote I think you'd like.
So this is my vow to us, darling.

I will kiss you on a regular basis.
I will look up at a full moon and feel your hand in mine.
I will love my freckles.
I will love my body.

I will believe you when you tell me that I am beautiful.
I will sit beside you and enjoy the silence when your mouth is swollen shut.
I will sit beside you and enjoy the silence when the sunrise brings tears to my eyes.
I will share every tear with you, whether they be mine or yours.

I will worry less openly over your safety, as it only clouds the pride in your duty.
I will follow my dreams.
I will work hard until I sweat, because in sweat you cannot drown.

I will always remember that things could be worse.
I will be stronger in myself and be more confident in who I am.
I will hold your hand whenever there is a needle.

I will love every single piece of you.
Even the icky gut parts.
Somehow you make them gorgeous.

I will tell you "I love you" and mean it with my heart and soul.

Because maybe, just maybe, there will be a time in our future that we don't have an expiration date.
I am willing to place my bets on that.

I knew a girl that loved herself
Loved the person she was
Didn't care what people thought
Didn't care how she looked
She had her life planned out
Knew in her mind that she was going to be something one day
I wish her thoughts didn't destroy her
She started to change
Slowly
Stopped going out
Didn't want to go to school
Insecurities ruled her body
She had everyone by her side
But yet felt so alone
She wanted to end it
As she thought of ways to leave
She couldn't bring herself to do so
Family is what stopped her
The thought of her sister walking in the house & finding her body helpless
Scared her
She ended a relationship that was dear to her heart
Now she just feels trapped
Wishing for a way to get out
Screaming for help
No one can hear her
She looks around for a hand to grab
An ear that'll listen
Someone
Anyone
She just wants to get back to normal
She just doesn't want the darkness to win
She wants the old her back
She wants to be able to look in the mirror and loves what she sees
I want to be me

I am Broken.

Two Parts of a Broken Heart

I am Broken.

I'm a broken soul,
(You've probably gathered that from my screen name.)
I'm not depressed,
I'm not something to be fixed or changed.
I'm just broken.
And I always will be.
It won't change anything;
I'll always be this way.
Broken.
And that's okay.
I'm confident enough in myself to know
that I will make it through.
But that doesn't change anything either.
There have been and will be moments and people that make me smile and feel like I may be whole again.
But I won't be.
I'll be broken.

I was thinking today about how a person can only take so much before they break. Depression, anger, self harm, betrayal, untrue promises, and loss... I am broken.

The Habits of My Heart

M-i-s-s-i-n-g You Kills.

I miss the way you’d always be the first to call me in the morning
I miss feeling like I found someone in the world who understood who I could be
I miss how I was your girl, the person you went to when everything started to fall apart
I miss being fearlessly, childishly in love
I miss how we were able to just sit in utter silence and have the best time of our lives together
I miss those days when reality seemed much better than my dreams
I miss being that girl who loved, laughed, lived with her heart on her sleeve
I miss you and me
I miss us
I miss looking up at the stars and knowing you’ll be looking too, just thinking of me.
I miss thinking life always has a way of working out
I miss believing in myself
I miss those nights we spent under the sky light, counting the stars till the sunrise
I miss thinking that I had it all figured out, my life, who I wanted to be
I miss being who I thought I was
I miss those good old days, days that are just memories now
I miss you

A simple I need you, I want you, I miss you can change not only your day but that ache in your chest.

When You Left

When You Left

I would write you a poem

to tell you how I feel

but when you left

the melodic flow that

passionately pieced

my words together

followed you

out

the

door

You can trust me because I will never let you down.

Two Parts of a Broken Heart

You can trust me because I will never let you down.

I know things hurt you and weigh down on your soul.
And people have left you and just let you fall.
I know I've been one of them a time or two.
But I swear on my life, I'll be better for you.
I would give you my own heart,
though it may be more torn.
I would find you a rose to hold
without any thorns.
I would read up on jokes and things to make you smile.
And lay on the couch and just listen for awhile.
I would listen to your problems, your dreams, your hopes.
I would listen to your secrets and not let anybody know.
I would give you my whole self,
with both of my hands.
And follow in your footsteps wherever you ran.
We would go on adventures to just forget the world.
Play in the grass, watch the clouds swirl and swirl.
And when the sun finally set,
like the fire in your eyes;
I would be there for you to just let you cry.
Cry about whatever;
but I would hold your hand close.
And tell you I love you and never let you go.
I would lie down beside you whenever you fell;
fight off the demons of your personal hell.
And in the morning I'd hug you as soon as you wake;
and whisper, "Keep smiling. Today's a new day."
