the bright night,
the sad smiles,
the deafening silence,
the living dead,
it never made sense,
but it was the way it was
R L Jan 2021
i guess the window of opportunities
just shut close,
leaving me with no air to breathe,
but just my thoughts and i
R L Dec 2020
am i what i perceive me as?
or am i just a reflection?

drowning in ego,
she tells them lies,
she spreads the evil,
or so she tries

she'd **** for beauty,
and hurt for fame,
she'll make you pity
what she'll never shame

if i got everything i ever needed,
then i wouldn't be here with you

tell me which way
the river flows,
should i follow along it,
or jump down below?
tell me how
you want the river to be,
clear and blue,
or ***** and green?
it's your choice,
cuz you told me so,
but are you sure,
that the river even flows?

"i'd die to love you."
"no, you'd love me to die"
R L Nov 2020
i don't want to die alone,
but i don't want to die with you either
R L Mar 2021
Should i listen to my fate,
or my mind?
R L Nov 2020
don't shame me for what i did wrong,
you were like me once too
R L Nov 2020
people only show fear when they know they can't be saved
R L Nov 2020
there's a victim,
and there's people that hurt them.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference

the untouched hills,
beauty seeks from behind,
the snow tipped mountains,
and the trees are left so dry,
how captivating the view is today,
something i won't ever miss,
the snow like paint,
and the hills like a canvas.

i throw the object to the floor,
rip out its leg,
and slam it at the door,
cut out its face,
out of anger and rage,
but im still alive,
and the voodoo doll remains,
i scream and yell
and rip it apart,
in attempts of killing
my bitter heart.

what do we get out of war
other than bloodshed,
gray years,
lost families,
and destroyed cities?
R L Dec 2020
undulating waves,
blue beauty,
in one wash they take your mind away
R L Dec 2020
my weaknesses,
they hold me down.
I try to get up,
but there's no way how.
I try to escape it,
and try to be strong,
but they'll be here forever,
and i won't last long.
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.

when i was older,
i lived so free,
everybody told me,
life would attack me,
but i never felt it,
never did.
It was only when i grew younger,
when i realized
i wasn't the problem.
it was them.
I grew young,
and even younger,
my mind then hated me.
I hated me.
I missed being older.
R L Dec 2020
who am i?
am i skin and bones?
am i what i write?
am i what i speak?
who am i?
why
R L Nov 2020
why
Why does it hurt when you tell me you love me
Even though that’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 don’t know what to fear

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, 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

She said, "I wish I were the clouds, for it's tears are prettier than mine."
He said, "I wish i were the mountains, so i could reach unto the sky."

She said, "I wish I were the sun, so people would miss me when I'm gone."
He said, "I wish I were the forest, so I would be where I'd belong."

She said, "I wish that I were of something that nature withholds,
it's peaceful out there,"

Which is only what she was told.
It all seems infinite,
but we don't know the story behind it.

The clouds, they wander lost,
the mountains want to be stronger,
the sun has no companion,
and the forests wish for forever.

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.

bright faces, darker minds
the path of truth, i've left behind
I only tell myself the lies,
im never living a truthful life

If roses can bloom in a bed of thorns
then i can grow in this hateful world
R L Dec 2020
i didn't know
whether to say yes or no,
and when i agreed,
i didn't know
that i was to live the worst years of my life

the writings on the wall,
to whom do i call?
i scribbled and wrote,
asleep then i awoke,
and i couldn't stop writing on the wall

There are some things you cant tell everyone
Even if you trust them with everything inside you
R L Oct 2020
It’s not that hard to love me for who I am
You could’ve told me before you decided to forget me
To leave me behind
As if I didn’t belong with you
      As if I wasn’t worth loving
            You betrayed me
      Left me crying
              You tore me up
Then acted as if I was fine
I should’ve known
                It was an act
    All of it
Now I’m back
             Where I was
                           Square 1
And I’ll have to keep searching
To let you know
                 That I’ve won
R L Nov 2020
Love should be unconditional, right?
Then why do I feel like I can't tell you
How I feel
Without you judging me??

Love should be endless, right?
Then why do I feel like it's gonna end
Before i can even say my last words??

Love should be expressed, right?
Then why is hidden
Beneath everything we have??

As much as you make me feel loved,

I still don't think I can tell you
What I need to tell you
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
...
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.
R L Nov 2020
Your words are left on the ground
Nobody cares about them
So I pick them up
And make meaning out of them

— The End —
