I try so hard
lemon May 2014
She said one little thing
And it shattered my confidence
"You should try being nicer"
How could I let five words have so much power over me
What are friends for?

Official
lemon Oct 2012
When I write poems on here
They feel so official
It's nice to know people see
See what I feel
Without me having to tell them

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 dont want to know far the depths of my love for you go
because all I know right now is that I want to put you safely away in my heart
and keep you there
and that alone scares me
quick forming attachments always end badly
but i hope you stick around

Im so mentally unstable right now
---
I just want blood
I want hands pulling my limbs from their sockets
I want to rip the hair from my head
And dismember every digit on my two hands
To have my intestines pulled from my body hand over hand
I want to be lying dead on the floor in a mess of parts you can't tell is me
It feels like uncontrolled violence is the only solution to my problems

But I'm just so alone
And she is the only thing
That has ever really felt like home

I feel like my chest is going to explode
with all the good things you make me feel
I don't think I can find any words
To explain this
other than that I am helpless
when it comes to you
being iin love feels like a new beginning every time
lemon Aug 2014
you want to be pretty
but your soul is stained by ugly things

I'd nearly forgotten about you
Two years is a long time when you're so young
Then
You liked that picture
And everything came flooding back
I am overwhelmed with sadness

i will not try to fill the void
i'll let it fill me
my face will be set on stone cold
my hands will shape into claws
my mouth with make no noise but hungry, vicious
my eyes will pierce and my body will transform
a fine creature it will make me

and I'll try to find solace in that

You were so beautiful
so loved
But what have you become ?
What has the seduction of evil made you ?
I can barely recognize my own brother
Years upon years, AN ETERNITY, we spent together
But I do not know this creature who stands before me
This world
The Heavens
Even I
Have nothing more you can take
Yet you still hunger
I fear that now there cannot be any redemption for you
If there was a spark of hope left
Even after all you have done to hurt me
I would kneel before father and grovel for your soul
But I know that my fears are truth
There is no redemption for what you have become
Do you understand?
I am his second in command
Just as you were his first
You cannot come home
And I cannot leave you here to wreak destruction over mankind
I must destroy you
And I pray I cease to exist in the process
For I do not want to live with my brother's blood on my hands

Chest Pains (reprise)
lemon Feb 2014
I can't help the tears
That fall from my face
When I realize all my life
They were all just another mistake

I cry and I cry
Believing I can find no one right
When all along
The only one to blame was I

I've been thinking a lot about how many mouths have touched yours lately
and how
mine's not one of them
I don't even think I want to kiss you
I just want to stop feeling like there's nothing here for me anymore

No, it's not that I'm lonely
It's that loving her makes me so

Ash
lemon Mar 2014
Ash
Fair as the winter snow
But if she is cold you'd never know
Locks like autumn
Smile like spring
Warm as summer
She makes me want to sing

don't let the loneliness come inside
let it sit in the rain on your doorstep
because you know if you even crack your door
it will barge in and take everything you have

you just
you get drunk
and you think you're gonna pour your soul out into sad poems
but you've got no words to explain anything
you've run out of ways to say
"I don't feel anything anymore and I cry all the time and i feel like ****"
so
you just
you get more drunk

I loved them
and you know how i know
because i feel this ignorant tightness in my chest every time i see them
and I feel this pointless emptiness every time i remember they never loved me back
but i guess you have it worse than me
as you got to know what their love felt like
and then you had to miss it
265 · May 2014
None
lemon May 2014
Were those
Your hands
around my neck?
Or was I
choking
On those vicious words
I was dying
to spit at you
and did you see
my tears that fell
when you told me to
"go to hell"
little did you know
I was already there
You were always so self aware
I think that's why
You couldn't
**care

you led me on and i still blame myself

I am throwing up

if its because

jealousy retches from my body
but
my diseased mind

My soul is ****** out
Through my soft lips
Down your throat
You seem so content
With it in your posession
I can't bring myself
To ask for it back

My love does not fade
I force it away
I refuse to play
This children's game
Being cold and empty
is better than wanting you

I love you
to the moon
to every planet beyond
the little rock that orbits us
to pluto!
to the next galaxy and the next
to a whole other universe
to a dozen of them
to the edge of time and space
and all the way back to my head
on your chest
where i can hear your heart beating
i love you
and
I'll love you until the sun exstinguishes and our universe is collapsed
and even after that

Live music
lemon Aug 2015
Live music is a numbing, healing thing
The music is so loud you can't talk to the people around you
So you all wade around each other
Satisfied with just....being
And let the vibrations sink into you
238 · Sep 2018
Untitled
lemon Sep 2018
I'll be ****** If I let History forget you
Those firey ringlets tucked behind your ear
And those ocean wave eyes
The galaxy of freckles across your shoulders
Your gentle smiles and knowing glances
I could cry to think that some day they may be erased
You'll live on forever in my words
Immortalized forever in my heart
That I've splayed for the world to see
As selfish as it may seem
I will never let you die

I dont yet
want to define
what we are
with a single word
like
"together"

We are soft
and caring
We hold eachother up
when the other would have fallen
We are within eachother's heart
day and night

That is more than
"together"

God you make my heart hurt like nothing else
But I still tremble when you smile at me
My hands still shake when they brush up against yours

You don't even know I'm trying to write poetry about you
And then failing because i start crying every time before i can finish
You are the sea that rocks my tiny boat

Too heavy
lemon Aug 2013
My heart is too heavy
For you to carry bout'
So I'll just rest here
While my body fills with doubt
Doubt that you love me
Doubt that you care
Doubt that you will ever really be there
But in the end
I know
That it is not your fault
It was mine all along
I am wrong
For you
For anything
