loving vincent
nessa Nov 2017
today i felt the rush
of a sharp
aching
tender
deep
hopeless
night
from which there bloomed
a pain so insane
i spent a day putting
it all away, shoving
crying, sobbing, sniffing
oh, and it felt like killing
an old dear friend,
putting a bullet in
my brain ,
in my chest
and i could not breathe
it hurts now
but in a way
i feel free
in such a torn way;
paper crushed and
shredded
nothing left
in the search of
sanity.
See let me tell you, it's incredibly hard being an artist that cares so much. An artist that wants so much. Loving art is possibly the best and worst thing. It's a lonely dance, it's a dream, it's a miracle, it's a story in my mind. And sometimes it feels like an old friend, a pair of shoes i want to put away, a size too big i cannot fit, a place i cannot fill. "I dream of painting and then I paint my dream."

melancholy
nessa Jan 2016
I hate to say it
but you're all I need

I hate to visit
but you've become my creed

I hate to face it
but no one takes heed

I know that I should
stop

If only it could
stop

If only you weren't the only one there
like salt water in the desert
like smoke in the air
like the hurt i can't avert

you make me feel raw and bare
the only feeling alert
that my breathing is fair

My life
nessa Jun 2015
I cry

Until my eyes become dry

I lay

Until the dreams wear away

*and repeat
Some people are so sad, they start melting, and they dry up. Funny thing is that they still manage to cry.

when will i die
nessa Jun 2015
The sadness won't go away*

it comes in the morning, grabs me by the throat, threatens my life, and then leaves. I ask why.

"Why can't you leave me? Why can't you let me leave?"

I put on my mask.

The craziest one. I'm in no mood to put up with life and its disappointments.

I need my high.

I put on my high pitched voice and leave with a heavy heart, dripping with blood.

I can't say the sadness leaves but laughing extra loudly and making others laugh often helps.

After the exhaustion of the day; of living, it lays on my shoulders and brings me down. The mask wears away and the "happy high" leaves.
No end, sadness is endless until someone or something comes along to help, Sir Isaac Newton didn't teach you this, I did.

you are nothing
nessa Apr 2015
its hard having the stain
always having to bear the pain
and never being able to complain
acting as if everything is plain
and simple but it is impossible

its vain
you're just a stain

Love is a proportion
Of the feeling someone has
People don't understand;
You may not understand;
All people understand is what they "know"
All you know is what you feel

They sum it up, depending on what they "know"
And call it love, or they call it crazy.
But I have come to realize
That, that is love;
It is crazy
You have feelings you cannot explain
No matter what
It is like describing a color of something to a blind person
Feelings are messy and messed up

Ever since you came, I have found out this:

There is more than love

The heaviness of my heart is unbearable
The way you look at her
Adds weight to my shoulders
The way you smile to her
You would say I was jealous
But my heart will tell you different

The heart aches
The tears flow

The way you look at her is so beautiful
Your stare bleeds through your face
Tears my heart apart
The edges of your stare claws at my heart
It cuts deeply and blood draws

Your stare is magnificent
But the magnificence isn't for me to see
You are not looking at me
Yet I feel your stare
And I see your eyes
Oh, the things I bear

I see your smiles
The corner of your lips
Carve a frown on my face
And the frown carves a hole in my heart.

They were walking side by side
As the wind whispered their secrets into their ears
As the truths were all they thought about
As the moon watched over them
As they gray sky looked down at them
They talked
They walked
They laughed
But inside they knew they were crying
It might have been funny
What they spoke of that distracted them
But it was not funny enough
The saddness still settled on their minds
Making their thoughts heavy
Their shoulders slump
Their emotions dramaticly fake
Their tears, smiles
Their eyes, peddles
Their bodies numb
Their mind sick
The saddness was a heavy rock on both their shoulders
A massive weight
Making them collapse
They spoke of how the sadness has effected them
The problems
Making them broken
"I'm not broken," the younger one said
She was smiling
pretending she was telling the truth
She wasn't
She was joking
Afraid her sadness was extra weight onto others, if they knew
"Yes, you are. You're always mad," the older one says
Knowing something was wrong with her, too
Yet, not knowing how torn she really is
Not even close
"Being mad, is how I show happiness," she says
"You're messed up," says the older one
"No, I'm not mad, I mean--a grumpy sound-- I am happy..you see? That's just how I show it," jokingly, insisting
They laughed
But she was so broken
She was so lost
She was so alone
She feels life slipping out of reach
Losing herself
She has no clue what to do with herself
The gray skys watch
And there was no moon watching

I would wait a million years
I would cry a million seas
I would tame the wild
I would cross a million oceans
I would reach a bright star
I would do anything
To reach you

But the truth is: I need you
More than ever

The truth is you are my sanity
The truth is I could not wait a hundred years
The truth is I cannot cry a sea
The truth is I cannot tame a dog
The truth is I cannot cross a lake
The truth is I cannot touch the sky
Truth is I would if could
But I would still try to
I don't know what this is

pure, love, human
nessa Dec 2014
When water is all you love
Come to me
When all you do is love
Come to me
When all you do is be you
Come to me
When all you do is bleed
Come to me
When all you do is hurt
Come to me
When you do is human
Come to me*

Oh, dear, it all escalated, didn't it?
But now I know you are pure, and love, and human
Come to me, that's all I'll ever need
You are human, you aren't perfect, you are human. That's all anyone could ask you to be so be it. Be pure, love, and human.

witless
nessa Dec 2014
I'm witless
For many many things
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of speaking aloud
I'm afraid of saying goodbye
I'm afraid of crying aloud
I'm afraid of being delusional
I'm afraid of forgetting
I'm afraid of rodents
I'm afraid of being in a dark closed place
I'm afraid of psychotic activity
I'm afraid of being hurt
I'm afraid of a lot of things

But you know what I am not afraid of but terrified?
I'm terrified of not being capable of being worthy of your love
I'm terrified of losing this 'love'
I'm terrified of not being in love with you
I'm terrified of not being loved by you
I'm terrified of sleeping alone forever
I'm terrified of falling for someone else
I'm terrified that you'll fall in love with someone else
I'm terrified of not having our strings tied
I'm terrified of this being an illusion
I'm terrified of forgetting you
I'm terrified of this all

But wait there is worse
I am absolutely terrified of waking up to a world without HES
Of getting to seek a world without you
Of getting to seek a world where you aren't the oxygen that keeps me breathing and alive

I would take a room without a door that's completely dark full of rodents, any day

I promise you, I'm not insane
I might be in love

Sometimes
She wishes she could die
To see who's alive in her life
To see whom of those people
Would cry or feel sad
To make those people realise
how worthy she was in their life
To make them realise how much
They would miss her
To make herself feel significant

Funny, isn't it?
One has to die
To start feeling
  Alive

She has to feel the need to die to finally feel alive
Isn't that the way it is?

Preposterous Feeling
nessa Dec 2014
While I copy and paste it
You're out getting wasted
Drinking with your best mates
While I plan our first date

You're counting the hours
While I hear the howls
You're laughing hysterically
While you smile incredibly

Kissing other lips
Or maybe thrusting your hips
Whatever it is
You know it's dangerous
People think it is
Preposterous
They say you'll be taken
Oh, how they're mistaken
You'll be mine and they'll see

While I copy and paste this
You're out getting wasted
Drinking away
And in a nice way
You're looking amazing
You're wearing the basic
Kissing her lips
Or maybe thrusting your hips

Whatever this is
They say it's
Preposterous
or maybe its dangerous

They say I'm mistaken
They it's a phase
They say it'll be over
Please tell them
This love will be prosperous
And no this isn't a phase
Nor a preposterous feeling
Yes, you

Remember and Forget

Remembering your eyes
Forgetting the world
Remembering your nose
Forgetting my life
Remembering your smile
The way your lips curve
Forgetting my name
Isn't hard at all
Forgetting everything
And remembering your face
Letting you be the only thing
Available to me
It isn't difficult at all
'Cause you mean the world to me.
To You and I wish you never see this but I wish you would see this; my feelings and heart felt love.

I want to touch the sky
To fly and be free
To sing the loudest
So I can be me
I wish to catch a star
I almost caught one
It was the brightest
The most beautiful
But instead I let it be
I still watch it above
I still wish to catch that star
I wish to be with that star
I wish oh how I wish that
Star would come flying to me
Now I believe it's an angel
So beautiful with its wings
So beautiful with a face
I now understand I didn't catch that
Star because it was so bright
But it's no longer a star, nor an angel
It is you, my love, my star, and my angel.
My heart is missing a piece, and I need you to complete me.

One and Only
nessa Aug 2014
I look at the stars, wondering where you might be.
I mind if you're asleep,
I mind if you are not looking for me
But if you're doing the same,
I hope you are aware of
What you have done to me
I cannot believe you haven't
Known about me
You are probably still unaware
Of someone like me.
Maybe you're looking for the love,
That you seem to need
You are not sure about whom it might be
I still believe that it can be me
I look at the stars, looking for
The one that can drift you to me
I look for the one, the one, and only
That can believe in something
So unreal but so true.
I look at the stars, wondering
What you have done without me
For my beloved, my one and only.

— The End —
