Lonely
lemon Sep 2012
I was going to write a meaningful poem
But then I got distracted
And my nose started to run
I think I have a cold
485 · Jun 2016
Untitled
lemon Jun 2016
I can feel it consuming me from inside
It's tendrils wrapped around my crumbling heart
Ripping sobs from my throat
It has made me weak
loneliness
how sour the word tastes on my tongue
as if I don't deserve it

lemon Oct 2016
I keep writing messages and deleting them
and writing and deleting
and hoping I'll gain the courage to send one
to tell you how much I still care
how much I still hurt
I know you don't think about me
because I meant nothing to you
but i can not stop thinking of you

936 miles
lemon Sep 2012
You're so far
936 miles exactly
If I got only one chance to come and see you
I would take it
Just to get the chance to maybe get to hug you
or at least sit in the same room as you
to know what you smell like

I think you would be just as perfect as I imagine you are

Cuts
lemon Aug 2013
My cuts
My little slices
Of pain
Of red
They feel so good
For so little
I can't make them last long enough
So I make more
And more
Until my forearms are covered
What's next?
My thighs
And when I'm done slicing up those
I might even try for my major arteries
Because this existence
Of pain
And torture
That I bring upon myself
It's *******
471 · Oct 2016

lemon Oct 2016
My heart is ******* pounding
just for you
just because the word baby slipped out of your mouth
and wrapped around me in the sweetest way
boy
you got me feelin a certain way

I am cavernous,
hollow,
barren.
Engulfed by an emptiness that can be described only as having a voluptuous sense of longevity
in other words
eternal
lemon Mar 2013
I dream about his laugh
The way he says my name
I dream about the path
I'd take to get to him

I dream of our hands connected
Both of us acting as one
I dream that he would tell me
That I could have his love

Space Husbands
lemon Sep 2013
He falls to his knees
At the sound of his loves last breath
All the things he never said
Running constant through his head

"I love you"
The words slip off his tongue
But it's too late
The deed is done

Those were the words
He could never say
For his love was his best friend
But now he's gone away

the flame girl and ice man
lemon Jan 2014
I was forged from the fire
I'm hot to the touch
No one could love me
They were afraid it'd hurt too much

Then he came strolling
Into class one day
Freezing everything
That lay in his wake

He sat next to me
The only one immune to his cold
Gave me a smile
That's where our story unfolds

Forever Wanting
lemon Sep 2012
I just want someone to love me as much as I know I can love them.
I want to be held and kissed and fussed over.
I want someone to buy me cute presents just because they feel like it.
I want someone who can be my safety.
I want to have a song, that when it comes on the radio we knows it's ours.
I want to have a special place that we go to be alone.
I want to have moments, thousand of beautiful sparkling moments.
I want it to be perfect.
I want it to be us.

And then I realise, I want too much.

I'm just a forgotten doll
lemon Nov 2012
If I were a doll, would you play with me?
Or would you leave me in the corner
To watch while you played with your other dolls
Forever taunting me with the temptation of Love

You are like
stepping over the edge
and being caught
in strong, sure arms
when I was positive
i was going to hit the pavement

I'm not me
lemon Oct 2013
I looked at the two boys holding eachother
And something inside me broke
It broke open
New contents spilled into my hull
My delicate shell that holds my entire being
Then I felt something
A longing, maybe despair
For I am not who I wish to be
I am not WHAT I wish to be
I'm just a boy
Who likes boys
Born a girl
Who is confused
And scared

Emily
lemon Apr 2014
I know it may seem  pretentious now and then
but i'll close my eyes and pretend
that i can feel your lips upon my face
that i know how you taste
cuz darling even though i cant have you here
i know there's nothing to fear
But without you it hurts to sleep
Give me your heart to keep
I'll lock it up inside my head
and act like it doesn't make me feel dead
that i have to read your words
instead of hear your voice
and i know it's not like i really have a choice
but if i did
i'd listen to you speak for hours
and with our love we could build mountains, towers
so just know
even though we can't touch or feel
even though I'm way over here
i still love you all the same
and nothing, NOTHING
is gonna change that
this distance is killing me

Butterflies
lemon Apr 2014
I have butterflies
But they aren't the cute kind
No
They feel like hell
Like when someone unexpectedly touches your stomach
And it feels like it turns inside out
That's what I have
(all the time)

Secrets
lemon Aug 2013
I have so many secrets hidden in me
Behind my eyes
In my ears
So many it brings me to tears
When it becomes too much
I etch them on my skin
With shiny little razor blades
I hope thats not a sin
392 · Nov 2012
I love you
lemon Nov 2012
I love you

I would give everything I have
for you to be happy
my possesions
the body that holds me
my very life

I can feel no selfishness
while wading in your sadness
waist high,
suffocating at the thought
of your tears

Flightless birds
lemon Mar 2014
Once free
Never again
Our wings are broke
Our necks will bend
They will bend low
Low with shame
As our brothers above
Fly away

love ya
lemon Oct 2013
I look at you
across the room
a smile on your face
like a dozen rays
of sunshine

You see my stare
you fix your hair
glancing over
at me

it makes my heart
beat
pretty **** hard

make me love
make me laugh
i wanna feel that
with you
only you
just you
i sang this as i wrote it

Please
lemon Dec 2013
I just sit
I sit and I beg
I beg for something to be right
I beg to be happy
I beg to be loved and held and kissed
I beg for forgiveness and I beg to be worthy
I beg for things I cant not have and can not be
Not right now at least

How many years has it been
How many endless days of carving 'forget her'
into the soft tissue of my brain
of my heart

How much longer will it take
lemon Jul 2016
One:  Bury yourself in distracting things
Two:  Don't let the feelings come back
What to do if the feelings come back:

He was dazzling.

Wish
lemon Dec 2012
In every moment
Of every day
I wish
I wish for things
I know I cant have
But that's the point of a wish isn't it
Wishes are a form of longing
And I long only for things that are not mine to have
361 · Dec 2013
She does
lemon Dec 2013
I found her
Lying on the side of the road
She looked lifeless, pale
Breathing shallow breaths she was
So I drug her
I drug her back to my van
And I gave her water
Gave her life
As she laid in my arms, I whispered in her ear
I said "You'll be mine, and I'll be yours"
"You owe me that much"

I want you
everyday
I want the good things
and the bad
I want your soft and sweet
And your hard and jagged edges
I want you happy, sad, and angry
I want all of you
everyday
for as long as you will let me have you

Nervous laughter turned into
Hopeless smiles turned into
Heart Break and it was always
All of the passion i could muster
All of it for **you

Is it hot in here?
lemon Dec 2012
Sweaty hands on my hips
I like the taste of your lips
Your hot breath on my neck
What can i say besides yes?
lemon Jan 2013
It's not that i don't want you
It's not that I don't care
It's just the fact that you can't love me
And I don't think that's fair
So I'm just going to go
Going to walk away
Away from whatever this mess is
I'm going to convince myself
That you will be okay

And every day the hole gets bigger
How much longer till my happy is just shreds?

No Sleep
lemon Oct 2012
I don't like to sleep
Because when I sleep, I dream
And when I dream, I dream of things I can't have
And that makes me sad
So I don't sleep

I cant
lemon Dec 2013
She knew
She knew I wanted him
And so she snatched him from hands
MY BEST FRIEND
And I told her "No, it's fine"
"I'm totally okay with it"
I am hurt
So bad

When you just feel like you need to throw up. Not physically. But emotionally.
Like you'd projectile ***** grief and self-hatred all over your walls but it won't come out.
Your throats closed up. You can barely breath and your vision is blurring.
Your heart pounds somewhere deep in the cavity of your chest, and with every pump it shakes your bones.
Your veins are filled with poison and your skin is fire.
Is this what dying feels like?
316 · Apr 2014
It's so hard
lemon Apr 2014
It's so hard
When you don't know the difference between tired and stupid
And you tell her you love her just to push it off your chest
And you think it's a thing you won't regret
But when you try to go to sleep that night you feel like you'll never rest
I ****** up
I always do
