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

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.

loving you

loving you is chasing a rainbow
forever searching for
the *** of gold
that does not

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

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?

I wonder..
am I too soft?

conflicted
viola Feb 2019
do i listen to my mind or
do i let my body take control
lose control
do i let his fingers linger
caress the curves of my body
i wish i could see clearer
vision blurred
my mind pleads
this will bring pain
my body claims
there is no need to be ashamed
but there is
isn’t there?
in God we trust
but this, i must
let him enter
pure bliss
perfect pressure to my lips
again
and again
please
never again.

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

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
309 · Apr 2019
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.

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

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

So much time wasted believing a lie
Why did I turn a blind eye?

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.

will I ever love again?
she searched for the answer,
in all the wrong men.

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

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

she was a vase
of beautiful flowers
knocked down by the waves of her intricate soul
shattered pieces scattered across the ocean floor
she cried
glue the pieces back into their original places
she tried
but the vase was different
unable to be repaired
broken forever
the flowers died.

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

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.

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

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.

some nights

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.

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...

perspective

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

courage within the discouraged
someone to understand the misunderstood

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.
