Undefeated and never ending
I just don't know what I'll do
So i go
To my room

There the silence is
So unbending and so unbreakable too
So I sing
In my room

Words of passion and words of hatred
Words of love so true
Echo loud
In my room

War is raging and footsteps pacing
in the morning at two
So I stay
In my room

but your mouth says too many young and beautiful things.

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."

Born On Fire
Leia R Jul 2015
Darling, You were not born a flame simply to light his fire

You were not made a flicker of heat just to burn his deep desire.

You were not created to ignite his cigarette,

You were not brought into this world just to make him sweat.

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...

The icy cold surrounds my skin;

Why'd I wear a shirt so thin?

My happiness feels like a sin;

**Sadness soon becomes my friend.

In the pale moonlight
In the whispers of night

And I await the day
In the heavens array

Believe
Leia R Nov 2015
Believe it or not
There is somebody there
Someone to listen
And lend you an ear

A boy or a girl
With brown or blonde hair
And you'll sit in the floor
Just clearing the air

They'll give you a smile
And say, "do your best."
And something about them
Is different from the rest

You'll take it to heart
Until it's the end
And what do you know?
You have you a friend.

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?

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.
