She is empty
A lost soul
Finding meaning and purpose to this **** world

She's almost close into breaking down
She just holds it for a little longer
But eventually, she will
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2016
It was all or nothing
But having it all was too much for you
You decided to go with nothing
Scarlet Preysler Feb 2016
For all the times* that you have taken me for granted

For all the times that it was a 'you' instead of an 'us'

For all the times that I cry myself to sleep thinking about us

For all the times I wiped away your tears

For all the times I was your shoulder to cry on

For all times that you come to my house at 3am because something upset you

For all the times that you have pretended that you care more than you really do

I say goodbye to **all those times
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
I miss being a kid, those times when we choose coins over paper bills, when
the only way to cheer us up is eating an ice cream, bright colors makes us smile, hugs comforts us, we pretend to be asleep on the couch so our father will carry us to our bed, jigsaw puzzles.

As we grow old our desires become more bigger. We forget to be happy and contented with those little things. We end up wishing and asking for more. We find happiness to things that in the long run didn't really matter.

He was staring at her like he is looking at his dream car
He can see his future with this lady just by blowdrying her hair

It seems like she was melting by his stare
She can't concentrate
So she asked, " Why?"
He answered, " Nothing"
Then he added "I just can't wait to have mornings like this...with you."

It's like time was stopped
It was a simple sentence that made her speechless.

You make me dream all day
And won't let me sleep at night
Oh what is this
This is not love I know
But everything about you is just right
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2015
We change every single day
We just don't happen to notice it.
Scarlet Preysler Aug 2015
I remember everything so clearly
I remember when the sun was shining to your face and you looked down at me and told me that I'm beautiful

I remember the feeling I felt after our first kiss
I remember when you told me you want me in your life forever
I remember the look on your face the first time you told me you love me

I remember feeling safe whenever you wrapped me around your arms
I remember touching your hair, your skin, your lips
I remember me kneading your veiny hands

I remember us feeling empty when we're not together
I remember us missing each other's lips even right after we kissed
I remember us naming our future kids

I remember you ignoring me
I remember you throwing everything we had
I remember you not remembering me
I remember all of it. Do you?
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
There's a hole in my soul
I can't fill it, I can't fill it

There's a hole in my soul
*Can you fill it? Can you fill it?
Scarlet Preysler Feb 2016
Why do I get this kind of feeling
that I have dreamed about you
that I asked God to give me you

Trying to protect myself
From something inevitable
Like I didn't know right from the start
That I would fall for you

I did my best to build this wall
But your love tumbles it down
I realized I'm not afraid anymore
For tomorrow you'll be there, I know.
Go
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2015
Go
I just can't let you go
Even if you've *let me go
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
We had the greatest love
But we didn't have the courage
to fight for what we have
You and I both
are afraid to get hurt

We tried picking up the pieces
of our broken hearts
But every time we do
we just get wounded
You and I both decided
we're not meant for each other
or maybe
this isn't the right time

But it never was
the right time for us
So maybe
it's better to leave it like this.
Scarlet Preysler Aug 2015
You saved me from him
Now I need someone to save me from you
Scarlet Preysler Sep 2015
Don't wanna make the same mistake again
Trying to take this slow
But boy I can't resist you
Whenever you're around I can feel my heart beating in my chest
You give me this kind of feeling I love and I hate at the same time

You feel close and yet so far
I can't reach you no I can't
Don't wanna ruin this
But I really like you
Do you like me too?
Scarlet Preysler Nov 2016
'I need you right now'
Such a sad thing to hear from someone
When all you ever wish for is to be wanted not needed
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2015
You tell me you love me
But it seems like you don't even care

You tell me I'm precious
But you make me feel so unappreciated

You tell me you can't live without me
But you never stopped me from leaving
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
Seeing you with her
I felt nothing

Seeing you happy with her
I became *nothing
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2015
We lip sync to the song that's been playing on repeat
Eyes locked like we've seen each other the very first time
The perfect night has just began
But it didn't took long to fall

Just like a song our ending has come
A music played but now different for both of us
You're singing a song that I've never heard before
But I'm still singing our song just like before.
Scarlet Preysler Aug 2015
Why do people keep on wishing to go back in time? We always hold on to the past and relive those memories that are long gone. We're eager to cling to the things that aren't there anymore.

Aren't we tired of that? Spending most of our time wishing things were just like before? Hoping that things would never change? We're so naive to believe that every good thing is in the past. But really it's not.
Scarlet Preysler Oct 2015
And in your arms
I feel like the world
wouldn't be able to hurt me
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
But how can you blame her?
She fell in love once.
With a boy who need saving himself.
She did everything
but there was no end to it.
She realized he need not
to be saved but to be loved.
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
Dark was the night I last saw you
Smiling but we're both close to tears
We held on tight to eachother
Even if there was nothing to hold on to

You and I both knew
This might be the end
Or this can be an interlude
Of something we were stuck on
Since the very beginning
Scarlet Preysler Jan 2016
But how will you do it then
If your heart
was broken into pieces
How will you be able
to trust again
People come and go
that's for sure
But there is always someone
who would stay
Isn't there?
Scarlet Preysler Jan 2016
It was all perfect
then it was not
I was all you ever needed
But not what you wanted

Being that was never enough
What you need is far different
from what you want
I was not the one you wanted
I was just the girl you needed
Scarlet Preysler Jan 2016
Three* words
Eight letters
Easy* to say
Hard to prove
Scarlet Preysler Sep 2015
It's too late for you to take me back
I've waited so long for this day to come
So long that I've finally moved on
I picked up the pieces you shattered on the ground
I mended the heart you left for nothing
I've forgiven myself for loving you when you don't even care anymore.
I've learned to live a life without you
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
I want to know what my heart truly desires, but I'm afraid with what might be the answer.
Do I still love you?
Scarlet Preysler Jan 2016
You made me laugh
You showed me the stars
You sang me a song, my favorite song

I made you smile
I showed you love
But I guess all of it is not enough
If it was we wouldn't be
Two worlds apart
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
When I was growing up I always thought of doing great things. I've always dreamed of touching people's lives. I want to be remembered, not in a selfish kind of way I just want to do something out of the ordinary something that will make this world a better place.
Scarlet Preysler Nov 2016
Writing alleviates my pain
I feel like I'm never alone
That this pen and paper
Or rather a blank page and
The keyboard will be the tool
For me to know how I feel and
What I feel because sometimes
I'm lost in my own feelings
I feel sadness without any reason
I wanna cry even though
I'm not experiencing pain
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2016
I need someone who's there for me
Through good and bad times
Who has nothing but love and respect
Someone who smiles and cries with me
Who not only makes me laugh when I'm sad
But knows how to make me feel better
And empathizes with my sorrow
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
How can you forget someone who touched you soul deep?
Scarlet Preysler Jun 2015
You had me with your words
Then left me without a **word
Scarlet Preysler Jul 2015
I'm always craving for words
Spending a lot of time reading
But I was never satisfied.

Maybe because it wasn't enough
Or maybe, because I've never found the words that can describe how badly I am right now.
Scarlet Preysler Mar 2016
And then I found myself thinking
Why does your name
still mean something to me?

Maybe that is how things are
When something became yours once
It will be part of you no matter what
Some old poems I wrote

— The End —
