Déja vu.
Raven Apr 2016
if i could experience it all over again
even with every ounce of pain
and each waking moment of ache
i would not think twice
i would do it in a heartbeat
for you, for us.


you're the only one worth of all this torture.

No permanent address.

Complicated. (adj)
Raven Mar 2016
If love had another name, this could be it.
I realized this last night;
when I thought of a distant memory.
We were both drunk;
pouring our hearts out
talking about how our loved ones
always tend to abandon us and all.
We hoped love could cure it all
but we both know it wasn't enough.
It was never enough
to lift the heavy weight
our hearts and shoulders held.
After thinking back
to the things that had happened,
I came to a conclusion
that it isn't always love itself; sometimes it's the lovers.

Scarred.
Raven Apr 2016
I guess
the good thing
about having many scars
is that
new wounds
rarely
leave a mark.
485 · May 2016
Grip.
Raven May 2016
His grip tight enough
to not let my fingers
slip through his
but also loose enough
to let me know
that i should always be ready
because at any moment
he could let go.

J.
Raven Oct 2015
J.
Just when her
jagged pieces
joined with his;

he journeyed elsewhere.

Wreckage.
Raven Apr 2016
find what you love and let it ruin you


a lot of things would **** you
but wouldn't it be
much better to die for —
or to be killed
by something or someone you love?
477 · Feb 2016
Ruins.
Raven Feb 2016
I met a boy who doesn't want to let anything nor anyone close;
For he is made of ruins and constantly fears that he will destroy everything he touches.
449 · Jul 2015
Collapse.
Raven Jul 2015
Most days
I feel like an abandoned house
on an empty street
and all I want to do is collapse.

every time you hear my name

Memoir.

about the people
I have loved and lost.

I'm not a piece of paper;
You can't fill my emptiness with your words.

Pyromaniac.
Raven Jul 2016
i can feel his gaze follow me
inside the room like a wildfire
intense, burning, and unwavering
our eyes met
a spark of mischief glinting in his eyes
igniting a flame within me
and i cursed myself for being
such a **** pyromaniac
375 · Jul 2015
In time.
Raven Jul 2015

Ténèbres.
Raven Nov 2015
I've always been scared
of the dark
when I was little.

Years later,
look how
the tables have turned.

Darkness
had become
my home
my solace.

Along with
my demons
that sing me
to sleep
every night.

you miss me
like you meant it

S O R R Y.
Raven Aug 2015
All the high walls I built
came crashing down
the moment that five-letter word
left your mouth.

Jump.
Raven Nov 2015
You said jump
so I did
thinking you'll be with me
but I was wrong
because the hand
I thought was meant
to hold me
was the one you used
to push me.

I remember
you once said,

but it never crossed my mind
that you were about to go somewhere
I wouldn't be able to follow.

Maybe we were meant to be a tragedy.
Maybe nothing is really meant to be.
Maybe it doesn't matter.
Not anymore.

Abyss
Raven Oct 2017
Sometimes
it's easier to let go
and let yourself fall
a little deeper
into the darkness
285 · Jul 2015
Odium.
Raven Jul 2015
I can’t remember
the last time I mentioned your name
And now it feels weird
saying it
It’s like venom
escaping my lips
Like a curse
a word I should not speak of.
276 · Jul 2015
Paper cut.

Haunted.
Raven Aug 2015
Say what's on your mind.
For the things we keep inside
will pass and become ghosts
that will haunt us
for the rest of our lives.

— The End —
