trauma
viola Dec 2019
traumatic events bind us together,
I will always be a part of you,  
and you a part of me.

untitled
viola Sep 2019
tonight feels heavy
my mindsets deadly
how do I change?
I am tired of playing this game
chasing after something
that I am afraid doesn't exist

I am angry
I am sad, confused

when do the clouds clear?
when will my cherry checks dry?
tears constantly fall from my eyes.

lied
viola Sep 2019
I lied
when I said I was ok
because I am actually
really ******* broken inside.

sadness
viola Sep 2019
sadness is my oldest friend
he’s always there for me
even when I want him
to go home

cold
viola Sep 2019
the air was sad
like the first summer night that drops below 60
the reality sets in
hopes and dreams of the summer
have come to an end
and winter is coming

the world
viola Sep 2019
I wonder..
am I too soft?
or is the world too hard

trickery
viola Sep 2019
it isn't that she didn't care
it's that she was tired of investing all of herself
into people who ripped her heart to pieces

her soul craved connection
and her mind was expelling the toxins
that disguised themselves as love
Sep 2019 · 258
how to love
viola Sep 2019
smile, laugh
hold the door
pay for dinner
laugh some more
warm the sheets
empty a drawer
be vulnerable
roll the dice
open arms
open heart
sacrifice

some nights
viola Sep 2019
Some nights I feel lost at sea,
tossing and turning as the waves crash into me.
I anxiously await the light to come,
desperately needing the warmth of the sun.

heartache
embodies the absence of the one thing that links us all together

no longer
viola Aug 2019
the man that I loved,
the man that I miss,
it is so sad to say,
he no longer exists.

unrequited
viola Aug 2019
how is it possible for me to want something so deeply
something I know I cannot have
my chest feels heavy
this is a cruel world
Aug 2019 · 217
crazy
viola Aug 2019
crazy to think
we went from strangers to lovers
to strangers
you have seen me naked
you know my deepest secrets
no place on my body you haven't touched
yet
I no longer know you
and it breaks me to my core
Aug 2019 · 190
jealousy
viola Aug 2019
****, I would die to be someone else some days
but some days I bet you anything
someone else would die to be me

saturday night blues
viola Aug 2019
here's to another Saturday night alone
wishing you would pick up the phone

anchor
viola Aug 2019
I am an anchor
plummeting to the ocean floor
sinking deep into my own despair
This is strange because at the same time I feel so incredibly empty.

memories of us haunt me
I have so much regret
I didn't do wrong,
I am wrong.

sun
viola Jul 2019
sun
loving you was a day in the sun
smiles, laughter, fun
sadly, it is not possible for the sun to forever stand tall
but watch closely
there is beauty as it falls

mental health
viola Jul 2019
sometimes I wish I had cancer
then people would send me flowers, and get well soon cards.
but I am bipolar
so when I am sick
I suffer alone, ashamed
because too many times
people synonymously use my illness for crazy.

-please stop

that sparkle in my eyes looks familiar
similar to the way the sun reflects on the moving water in the bay
so effortlessly beautiful

viola Jul 2019
loneliness is a rock sitting on my chest
painfully restricting my ability to breathe

love
viola Jun 2019
where does love go?
when that deep immense feeling of belonging
dissipates like a mist in an ocean breeze.
does it gently fade away, as it evaporates in the sky?
is it remembered?
does it still exist?
Jun 2019 · 282
worth
viola Jun 2019
The moment I realized my worth,
I realized you were the one who wasn't enough
-
So much time wasted believing a lie
Why did I turn a blind eye?
Goodbye

cuts
viola Jun 2019
Have you ever cut your hands
picking up
someone else's broken pieces?
shed blood
as they walk away
with the only band-aid.

Her mind is a cage, soul trapped and chained.

You don’t truly love someone until they hurt you and you still think they are the greatest person in the world.

sometimes
viola Apr 2019
life is so busy, it moves fast, and doesn't look back.
sometimes though, you need to take a break.
slow down, breathe, and smell the ******* flowers.

good luck
viola Apr 2019
you let a good one go
I promise you this
you will be forever searching
for another one like me

me
viola Apr 2019
me
when you think of...
long night drives
curly brown hair
handwritten notes
hole in ones
boat rides
and beach days under the sun
when you think of love
I hope you think of me.

if you love one day
it does not disappear the next

hello?
viola Mar 2019
Is anyone out there?
do you hear me when I cry?
there has to be someone somewhere
who cares if I live or die...

moving on
viola Mar 2019
I was reminded of you in every moment
every moment was exchanged for a few
a few moments with you on my mind
eventually I will be able to escape you
no part of me wants to leave you behind
but it is time for me to arrive.
Mar 2019 · 212
alone
viola Mar 2019
I feel alone when I close my eyes
the feeling leaves me paralyzed.
It traps me in the cyclical thinking
that I alone, will never be enough.
I should just give up.

room
viola Mar 2019
there is a room for you in my heart
its painted blue, with a desk and a chair
John Mayer hung on the walls
music in the air
it feels a little impossible
being apart
but then I remember
there is a room for you in my heart

that time heals all wounds
because honestly
some things take time
some things stay broken

X O
I know you care, life is just so unfair.
We weren't right, doesn't mean I don't miss you tonight.

iibwm
viola Feb 2019
Our love was beautiful
relationship immutable
connection indisputable

but I couldn't find a cure
I was there when she died
I held you when you cried
I saw the way you were
and it killed me inside

what happened my love
why was I disposed of
a monster you became
nothing was the same

now we are apart
best interests at heart
how will I restart...

searching
viola Feb 2019
she spent so much time thinking,
will I ever love again?
she searched for the answer,
in all the wrong men.

goodbye
viola Feb 2019
there will always be...
hope for the hopeless
courage within the discouraged
someone to understand the misunderstood
worth in the worthless
good in goodbye.

he is a sandalwood candle,
deceivingly smooth, rich, and manly.
do not be outwit!
like all candles,
he is artificial.

perspective
viola Feb 2019
she changed
for the better
but to tell the truth
something catastrophic happened
because
she didn't tell a soul
people thought
she just left
but in reality
she died
