No Time
Sarah Savannah Sep 2013
I cannot hear the tick tock
of one so simple to be time on a clock.

The seconds are not mine to hold.
They stand frozen, leaving me cold.

To want, to need...a moment so dear,
yet the time i cry out for, will never be near.

When All Is Said And Done
Sarah Savannah Oct 2013
Into the darkness
I've gone...
and stayed...
for far
too long.

Into the light I've been,
and felt happiness...
deep within
my skin.

Now where do I stand?
Somewhere between,
with one,
in each hand.

Will I fall?
Will I stand tall?

Neither.

Limbo is where I sleep...live, DIE.
and stay...
until I find
a way
*to be me.

"You are poetry," he replied.

In My Dreams
Sarah Savannah Jan 2015
In my dreams
     I am a block of wood,
Lifeless and still
     misunderstood.

A gun held to my head
     an inability to run
Family that is long dead
     yet the dream is not done

A shout, a yell,
     "Where am I?!" I scream
Ignored by all,
     for I am not seen.

***** and tortured,
     still lifeless I remain,
For in my dreams I am a block of wood,
     only able to feel pain.

SCREAM
your frustration to the sky
TEAR
apart everything in sight
*cry

the pain away and
Fade*
into the night............

My Own World
Sarah Savannah Sep 2013
Don't look into my eyes like you know my escape.
Do not touch.
You cannot take.

My level is where you're not.
Nor is anyone else that i've got.

Stop trying because you won't see,
who the real person is,
the girl called me.

Unknown Even To Me
Sarah Savannah Sep 2013
Please talk to me
and make me feel

something that is actually real

For now I sit and do not know

what emotion to carry in my soul.

They all have left and gone away,

never to forgo another day.

Help me think.
Help me feel.

Maybe, once again,
i shall become real.

Empty
Sarah Savannah Jul 2015
Liquid pain rolled gently, creating dew drops of sorrow upon her face.
She realized, as her heart hardened, she was as empty as a vase.

I hate the white picket
fence,
You're not who
you want to be.

And maybe you are.

I cannot help but
wonder,
Is all perfect in
your box?

LOVE
Sarah Savannah Apr 2016
Falling, falling, falling....
My head aching, aching, aching
with raw, pure emotion.
This feeling receiving my full devotion.
Deeper, deeper, and deeper,
I fall.
No need to catch me,
just keep me enthralled,
with your look,
your touch,
your kiss.
All my body,
spirit,
and mind
are sinking deeper into an abyss
of love pulled out of time.
Do not catch me,
let me fall.
I am drunk and
you are my alcohol.

America
Sarah Savannah Sep 2016
The long free road we walked,
chasing the dreams we so desperately sought,
was ripped out beneath our feet,
and replaced with labor...
just so we could eat.

Repeat after me,
"I am free."
With debt chained up to our knees.
We are slaves to the one percent,
when all we wanted was to be
free.

Swimming
Sarah Savannah Oct 2016
Through life we swim,
And barely breath,
Only every now and then receiving air,
Simply to dive back under and
Continue to swim.

Don't Think
Sarah Savannah Sep 2016
Fear emerges in the midst of love,
and lust.
Will you be able to handle
my lack of trust?
Entertain my heart and say
all will be fine.
Then let my foolish brain
learn that you are lying.
Love is my drug and
I'm addicted to the feeling.
But heartbreak will leave
me bleeding.
Stop.
Go.
Echo in my head,
while shallow waters
I continue to tread.
This broken heart you
cannot mend.
As I patiently search
for the end.

Questions
Sarah Savannah Aug 2015
Lust in the air,
Temptation in your eyes,
disbelief in my heart,
and I don't know why.

Firsts are first,
but this is new,
we could skip a step
or a few...

Hold my hand and take me away
maybe I will be yours to stay.

Numb
Sarah Savannah Apr 2015
I would rather lust and want
For then I can control it

But to have it
More than I need
Always having it

Will make me hate,
What I once wanted

Only to lust and lose again.

Smiles begin to fade
as we wade
in the river
of life

One little current
small or urgent
can change you path completely

The Truth
Sarah Savannah Dec 2014
Speak swiftly,
or speak not at all,
my heart will stay,
either way.
