your lies, my truth
R L Dec 2020
i'm not going to live your lies,
i'm going to live my truth,
whether you like it or not.

murder
R L Nov 2020
my smile creeps up on my face

the blood contrasting on the grass looks so lovely

who knew it would bring such joy to a person

to see the body lying there,

expressionless,

it's better than the arrogance it had.

Now i stand here alone,

the moonlight giving the body a magnificent glow.

what is beauty?
R L Nov 2020
what is beauty?
is it my eyes, my lips, my face?
what is beauty?
is it what others make of it?
what is beauty?
is it who i truly am as a person?
but what is it
if it isn't that?

maybe beauty is just what we make of it.

friends
R L Nov 2020
the stars are my only friends,
they stay up all night and hear me talk.

the bugs are my only friends,
i like to watch them play.

the sun is my only friend,
she likes to follow me everywhere i go.

and time is my only enemy,
he doesn't let them stay.

sinners
R L Nov 2020
Not everyone was born a sinner
But itโ€™s hard to tell with people
I mean to say that people hide whatโ€™s true

words
R L Dec 2020
the way i am with words,
the dancers are with music.
the flow they make,
the rhythm they create,
and it only gets better and better.

Smiles
R L Dec 2020
my smiles mean pain,
my smiles mean "save me",
my smiles mean that i need to be loved
my smiles are anything but smiles;
they're screams for help

ships
R L Nov 2020
i sank ships,
when i was bored,
i watched them drown,
and laughed more.
I hated how the ships,
floated above the ocean,
i kissed the water with my lips,
and the waves splashed,
the waves crashed,
and down went the ships.
There was life under the boats,
and i lived it all,
i loved the blue,
the fish,
and most of all,
it was my home.

why
R L Nov 2020
why
Why does it hurt when you tell me you love me
Even though thatโ€™s what I wanted to hear
Why do I tell you I hate you
Even though my love for you is clear
I never wanted to hurt you
But you let me down
So I had to teach you
To stick around
but now I donโ€™t know what to fear

life.
R L Nov 2020
trees are like life
you could either let the leaves fall by themselves,
or chop the tree before it sees an end

that night
R L Dec 2020
we danced around the fire that night,
and climbed the trees and watched the stars,
we rolled on the fields,
and played card games,
then slept on the grass,
and screamed our names,
we held each other's hands,
we held them tight,
and set up a fire,
and danced that night.

the sun sets,
because she believes she's not good enough,
and the sun rises,
because she has faith in herself

sometimes it's hard to tell
whether somebody's love is unconditional,
and it makes me think of people differently.

when we try to defend ourselves,
we look like the bad guys,
but when we give in and say sorry,
we automatically become the good ones.

your eyes
R L Nov 2020
the color of your eyes
Remind me of the times
When we loved each other
Until we lost hope in ourselves
And forgot why we wanted to be together
I still look back and cant say
That I was ever happy with what we had

winter dreams
R L Nov 2020
gentle dreams,
stormy night
my dreams occur,
not a fright
because even though
its cold outside,
my mind is still trying to hide.

i dream of my mother,
holding my hand,
its warm and sunny,
our toes in the sand
we laugh and play
and she hugs me tight,
she says,
"take care, it's a chilly night"

she leaves me behind,
now I'm in my cold bed,
i turn over and i see
the night is dead,
it's early morning,
and i realize,
my mother helped me through
the lonely, helpless, ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜.

and remember my values most,
then comes sunset,
and i feel down again.

are just a way to show that we have control over something,

even though we end up crossing the limits.

stories
R L Dec 2020
some lies,
some truth,
and some are an escape from your world,
the life that stories hold,
sometimes better than our own.
