Cold
Robby Robinson Oct 2018
I love you
I hate you
When did we get so cold?

I’m so unhappy all the time and it’s exhausting.
I just want to sleep it all away.

I never knew it was possible
to feel this
numb.

Split in two.
Robby Robinson Apr 2018
Im an empty shell,
A shadow of what i was when I had
You.
My mind is numb, my thoughts are blank,
My heart is split in two.

ruined
Robby Robinson Apr 2018
How can i look you in the eyes knowing what i did?
Even if I try, I’m afraid I’ll see the pain hiding behind them.

I was your best friend.
Your brother.
And I went and ruined it all.

Poison Apple
Robby Robinson Apr 2018
Your lips are my poison apple.
A deep red
Smooth to the touch.

Luring me in for a
Taste,
Even when I know it’ll **** me.

Bitter Sweet

You were like sugar to me.

I couldn't get enough.

Without you I am drowning,
gasping for air.
I don't know how much longer
I can last before I
sink.

And as the water slips over my eyes,
I can see you paddling away.

One stroke at a time.

Underneath
Robby Robinson Jul 2016
Next time the monsters lurk out            
from under my bed,
I'll let them pull me under.        
After all , the creatures down there                        
that I'll find                                
aren't nearly as    
scary                              
as the ones inside my mind.

Shelter
Robby Robinson Jun 2016
I will turn my very
                       bones into a shelter
                                  to protect your
                           heart
         from the storm
                                 inside your
                          mind.

                And as I slowly
                         turn to dust,
                know that I will
                           love you
                      with what little part
                            of me
                                           remains.

An Old Friend
Robby Robinson Jan 2016
Hello there,
Its been a while.
Did you miss me?..
Of course you did,
We're old friends after all.

I'll admit,
I'm a bit disappointed.
You tried to ignore me for a while,
Tried to shut me out.

Did you forget so easily?
You need me to survive, remember?
I am part of you,
I always have been.

May as well face it,
You’re stuck with me.
Just let me take control...
It’ll be easier that way.

I promise I won't hurt you.
I'll be gentle.
After a while,
You might forget that I'm even there.

I'll reintroduce myself,
Since it's been a while.
Hello there,
My name is Mr. Anxiety.

And I missed you, oh so dearly.
Because everyone knows this old friend..

A Loner's Christmas Carol
Robby Robinson Dec 2015
Silent night,
Wretched night.
Keep me company
'Til morning light.

Let the families have their fun,
Whilst I stay here and come undone.
I do not sleep in peace tonight.
I do not sleep in peace.
Because not everyone's Christmas is merry...

I do not have depression
Robby Robinson Dec 2015
I do not have depression,
But I face it every day.
I have spent years
trying to save someone else's life
instead of taking care of my own.
Many times I have caught myself
picking people up off the floor
and leaving a piece of me in their place.
I have spent many sleepless nights coaxing them out of death
because the insomnia was having it's way anyways..

I am not asking for sympathy
or a pat on the back.
I ask simply that you remember that
I am human too.
I can break just like everyone else can.
The only difference is that I am willing to break for the sake of those who are already broken.

I do not have depression.
But that doesn't mean I am not depressed.
For the people that live to help others survive..

Alone
Robby Robinson Nov 2015
You are alone

Don't ever let anyone tell you that

Everything will be ok

Just know that

Your actions can't change the world

And you're wrong when you say

That you are a beautiful person

Look in the mirror and see

All the flaws, the imperfections

Learn to live with

The fact that life is too hard

Embrace

The ones who say you are nothing

Leave behind

The hope of a new beginning

Never let go of

The words they call you

Find strength in

Darkness

Remove yourself from the

Happiness in this world

There will always be

That sense of emptiness

Stop focusing on

The things you truly love

Surround yourself with

Negativity

Stop this

And read it again, starting at the end and going up.
For those who want to give up.

Nature's Repose
Robby Robinson Nov 2015
She walks through the forest,
Beauty in motion.
Swift and elegant as the trees.

Eyes dark,
Mysterious.
A mixture of Autumn leaves.

Skin smooth as a river,
Captivating.
Cool as the evening breeze.

Her mind is a landscape,
Filled with light and shadow.
Wisdom in every breath she breathes.

She sees right through me,
Leaving me in repose.
Coaxing my troubled mind with ease.
For my Dearest Love..
Robby Robinson Nov 2015
The grass is wearing my lipstick
  and there's frost on my face.
     I see no trace
         of the bird that took my shoe.      
     The trees are looming over,
               taking fun of my fallen state.            
      Is there nothing better for them to do?  
        My cheeks are redder than a    
   snowstorm,
     the bugs are in my hair.
         The bird has taken my other shoe,
    They're ******* on the fairy lights.
    Do they truly not care?
    Because I fall they do not fight
     their own fights.
           A rabbit grew wings and gave me back    
      my shoes.
The grass returned my lipstick and the frost 
      cooled down my face.
       Tomorrow I may fall again,
         But of the trees,
         there will be no trace.
One of my most cherished pieces.

— The End —
