The Last Take
Leia R Apr 2015
I'm playing the
supporting character in
my own life.

So little is
my role that
I don't even
have a line.

When the sound
is off, I
don't even get
black and white
subtitles.

I'm not talented
enough to be
upfront as the
starring role.

In fact, they
don't even need
me anymore.

So why don't
I just finish
my scene
*right now?

Reality has broken Her
Leia R Apr 2015
My dear girl, she stands broken.

Eyes once seeing with vision uncluttered by hate,
Now are blinded with the cataracts
of insecurity.

The sun will never set the same way.
a song will never sound as it
once did.

Reality has broken her.

Anorexia
Leia R Feb 2015
My darling girl

You're not happy with yourself,
It begins to affect your mental health

My darling girl

You lose weight ******* and then your concert tees don't fit anymore

My darling girl

You say that you want to heal
But how then? If you cannot feel.

My darling girl

I have nothing left to fear
For you my dear, a silent tear.
Please contact someone for immediate help if you are experiencing any symptoms of this serious illness.

Día de San Valentín
Leia R Feb 2015
Blood stained the cobblestone street
As they punished me, San Valentín.
For marrying people off the streets,
To keep them from the war defeats.

Yet they celebrate my body marred
On a holiday with gifts and cards.
I wish to join them in chocolates fed,
But it's hard to eat without your head.
What Valentines is really about.

Insomnia

Barefoot
Leia R Jan 2015
We let our hair flow free,
flowers in our hand and
dirt on our feet.

The trees laugh with us as we tickle their leaves,
the wind blows their love
to the edge of our sleeves.

Sun beams are warm as
they land on our cheeks.
It's as time stands still
and the whole world speaks.

The voice of the forest
rings in our ears.
We'll be remembering
this moment for years.

Senses
Leia R Oct 2014
I hear your voice carried upon the whispering winds. Surrounding me with secrets untold.
I see your face in the stars at night. Your eyes glittering down at me just before I drift off.
I feel your touch in the chill morning air,
And your smell in the morning dew that accompanies it.
The strawberries taste of you, their familiar sensation tingling my tongue.
Funny, how I sense you everywhere and yet
Not at all.

Dracula
Leia R Oct 2014
Honed fangs behind
sweet lips.  

Lips made to caress my
skin as they travel along
my throat.
So gentle he is,
For a monster

His tongue against my
jugular;
Heartbeats quicken.
Shallow breathing
as his dark eyes
bore into mine.

"Take me," I plea, "make me into you."

You are mine...
His voice is thick,
laced with seduction
but also some sort of
tenderness.

His movements
careful
slow
calculated.

He plants a
kiss on my neck,
fangs barely brushing.

*And I do not destroy that which is mine.

Schizofriendly
Leia R Aug 2014
I'll be with you all night because I know you're not asleep,
and even when you shut your eyes
I'll whisper in your dreams.

A pillow will not stop me
I'm right next to your ear
and under all those blankets you are
cowering in fear.

Midnight is now upon us
and there's nothing you can do.
Now I'm getting closer
lying here right next to you.

I see that you've stopped breathing
(well that's not very nice)
your body has stopped moving,
it feels as cold as ice.

"Why can't anyone hear you? Is it only me?"

Well my dear, I am not sure.
It's a possibility.

"Am I going to die here? Alone and in my bed?"

Quite frankly, darling, no you won't. It's all inside your head.

Young Love
Leia R Jun 2014
There you are again
my heart is palpitating

I'm drowning in your love
it's so intoxicating

I'm so in love with you
I'm acting like a fool
no matter what I do.

I'm so numb
with your love
and I just cannot get enough

And even if I feel like I am dying
you always seem to leave me sighing
Every crush ever.

Your Love (Sucks)
Leia R Jun 2014
Your love is so inhumane
it gives me emotional strain
I feel like I may go insane
my tears fall harder than the rain
everything I did for you
was all in vain
because you tossed my love
right down the drain
now it seems that
all I know is pain...

All Good Things

come to those who wait.

Why Do You Do This...
Leia R Jun 2014
...to see me cry?
To watch me break?
To see me die

Slowly,
Inside myself.

I've put my heart

I bet you hate me
I know you do.

I mean, what else
could be your excuse?

Him
Leia R Jun 2014
Him
I just want to hold his hand and

kiss his cheek and picture him

lying next to me.



His morning voice

his clothes of choice

are all things I can only imagine

yet I



See him every single day

and I know that I'll never

be strong enough to say



"I can picture our forever."

Survival of the Weakest
Leia R Jun 2014
I was empty… abysmal.

There was nothing left of me.

I couldn’t hurt;

I couldn’t feel.



I knew the days were passing by,

but I didn’t know how many.

Everything seemed to just blur together,

into one enormous mess.



Am I even alive anymore?

It sure doesn’t feel like it.

After all, I’m not living.

I’m just surviving.

Dreams
Leia R Jun 2014
Dreams are like people,

cloaked in darkness,

and hiding behind

fragile masks.



In other words,

they are a reflection

of our secret thoughts and

inner selves.



And not just in the

dreams, but in the

nightmares

too



do we find our deepest

sadness, fear,

and even

desires lurking in the dark.



But even now,

for some unexplainable

reason,

I like the darkness.



There's something

unspoken about the

danger, the quiet,

the cold.



Something terrifyingly beautiful,

almost like

death,

but then again...



When the dreamer

dies,

*what happens to the

dream?

Little Bit of Peace

Lit.
Leia R Jun 2014
I love how when you visit

You sit on the other couch silently

Reading your book



How every minute or so

I hear the flipping of flimsy

Pages



Sometimes, when I glance at you

I see different emotions passing

Across your face



I love to watch you change position

As you shift your body

Across the sofa



I love how you bury yourself

Into the literature so that you

Don’t even hear me talk



But that’s okay because

Watching you quietly is

All I really need.
