The words slip through my teeth,
I didn't mean that!
Just ignore me,
I'll be just fine.
Poppi Mae Jan 2014
Alone,
Here in the basement.
Nowhere to go,
And all the company that I've got
Are the ghosts that trouble my soul.

With the ghosts,
Here in the basement.
Nowhere to go,
In front of the cracked mirror.
I can't even see myself,
Where did I go?

If love is a wishing well,
Then I'm afraid I have fallen.
I can't get out,
Where are you?

*You weren't here after all.

Give me adoration
For it is all that I want,
It is all that I need.

What's this?
A letter?
In the form of words written among the page,
You ask me to be yours.

Yours
Whoever thought that a five lettered word
Could be cherished so much,
So desired,
So needed?

I am yours,
You are mine
And all we need now is some Radiohead
And a glass of wine.

Let it out
You have every reason to
For all those times I left you in despair
Now's your opportunity,
Give me what I deserve.

Maybe it's true what they say
That only time can heal our wounds
But time is everlasting,
Does this mean we will never heal?
Troubled thoughts keep passing.

Change
I'm different now, can't you tell?
I spent time
Improving myself, making myself better
So that you and I
Could be together.

Difference
I am not who I used to be
You tell me, things can't be how they were,
A long time ago.

All of this time,
Spent correcting, improving and changing
Turned into such a waste
You don't care for me
You just want to make me feel happy

But tell me,
Does raising my hopes,
Hopes I didn't even know i had,
Make you believe you are giving me
What I deserve?

Not this time.
Time may be ever lasting
But we are against the clocks right now
We never happened.
Nope, never did.

My eyes bloodshot
You're keeping me awake
This cant be healthy
How long will this take?

My heart aches
You're making me insane
This can't be healthy
Will this feeling remain?
Poppi Mae Jan 2014
Tell me,
How is your stomach?
Because mine hasn't stopped
Moaning
Grumbling
Yearning
For the moment when you talk to me.

Tell me,
Have you seen these butterflies before?
They come from within
Fluttering
Soaring
Beaming
For the moment when your lips meet mine.

My chest is feeling heavy
Has this happened to you before?
It keeps happening
Pulling
Dragging
Hanging
In hopes that you'll notice, I need you to want me.
