Bailey Kreutzer

Life to me is like taking a swim,
No matter how calm or peaceful the water looks,
Dangers hide in the current.
Life will pull you under,
Sinking deeper into the waves that crash.
You kick hard fighting the water,
desperately you try and grap hold of anything.
You're running out of air and time.
So you latch on to the person that isn't submerged.
You grab hard, pull hard,
But instead of bringing yourself up,
You just pulled someone down.
And as you sink slowly to the bottom,
You regret what you did.
But you can't fix it now,
It's far to late.
Because life is like taking a swim.

I've had a pretty horrible day my head hurts and uggghhh I just feel like screaming

Lying Laying Down

Lying Laying Down

These late nights never mean something
I am a self-induced insomniac although I like my sheets
You’re still his and I will never be mine
With truths told as lies
Lying to myself until I believe
Because all truth is
Is truth perceived.

age

I swear
my guts
darken
dad

as I am in
your spot
looking
at the sea-

mother
insisted
again
on heels

     but has changed
     in other ways-

you must’ve walked
to get to those places
you stood
but it’s the standing
I recall

and the quiet-

the length
of my life
is abnormal

     but goes
     undiscovered

You

You

Your rough palms and rough ****** hair against my skin
Your soft touch and soft breaths making my heart thump
Your smile and your kiss taint my lips with happiness

Your words and your comfort reaches my vulnerability
Your silliness and your assurance lighten my burden
Your warmth and your care never fails

You are everything
Anything
Everywhere
Anywhere
I need you
Just you.

The One Called You

Many stories are written
Only some are true
But from my lips come truthfulness
As I share my dreams with you.

I have been through many trialed times
As my lovers love and then leave
Too many tears have fallen
Too many to ever conceive.

Then came the day
When love bestowed
A heart so warm and kind
The heart that I've been looking for
Yet never thought I'd find.

And now that it's been found, my dear
I'm never letting go
I've lots of love inside of me
And to only you I'll show.

But be careful of my naive heart
For it breaks so very easy
I only ask for love and trust
It don't take much to please me.

My dreams have finally happened
My dreams have finally come true
I've found a place called paradise
When I found the one called you.

Burnt Bridges

I've been lifeless lately
Time rushing past
I've been slow motion lately
Can't remember what I did last
The airs cold against my tears
I have been running so long
I have hid from these fears
It was so wrong

Burnt bridges all around
Glass is breaking through the sound
This pain is taking over me
Im falling to the ground
Please take my hand save me
I've been no good but maybe
You could change me
Maybe it's you that I need

a dove in my window Payne
They said it was a chance of sun
But my sky is full of rain
and I feel like I'm done
The lights flicker to black
My head is spinning
I need to take you back
All this hurt it's been bringing
I cried all I could
And I seen this day coming
I just wished it never would
And now I'm lost again

Burnt bridges all around
Glass is breaking through the sound
This pain is taking over me
I'm falling to the ground
Please take my hand, save me
I've been no good but maybe
You could change me
Maybe it's you that I need

And if only you could see
That this light burns inside me
I'm shining in the shadows
Its like it's never mattered
But I just want to light your way
Even if that path is out of "our" days
I just need to know that we
Were something to keep
Even if it's not me that you seek

Dying hour

Dying hour

As I lay here dying
I look for a light
I know that I'm trying
My best effort to fight
Away as the stars
Of darkness bite
Breathing is getting hard
And I'm losing my sight
Numbness swallows me
Whole in the night
All I can feel Is the stinging
In my left eye but not my right
Death drags his hands across
My heaving throat
I know my life is loss
When I ebb as though I'm on a boat
Regrets that I couldn't say goodbye
Regrets that I'm leaving
But I can't stop from dying
Because death will know I'm cheating

Not whole

They pick me up
They show me friendship
You try so hard to be everything
You think you should be
But by the end of the night
You lay cold in bed
You gave all you could give
Your alive but you feel like you've never lived
You pay for every breath
You pay for every tear
Can you bear the ruthless
Realization that your not as strong
As your heart screams you need to be
Maybe you should give it all up
And be free

things

there are these things like summertime
sadness and frosty windows,
moth wings and the cosmos
and goose flesh and miniature houses
with miniature chairs and

hourglasses and sun-soaked
sheets in the morning and your lips
against mine, hollow bones
and thin blue veins and the
delicacy of synapses and nerves,
reoccurring thoughts and images;
my intimacy with them is
alarmingly sensual;
like the honeysuckle curve
of a bare shoulder,

shadows of hands on walls
and the nectar of your kiss.
things that haunt me and
dance before me,
the epitome
of grace.

the world i see

Every door is open
To let in the sky
Every day a dream,
Please don’t hide.

Don’t waste away these sunny days
Like me, don’t squander your pretty ways
Little ******* my front porch swing
You always know what’s best to sing

Do as my grandmother says.
Don’t worry the humming bees
They float towards the blooming trees
Open your eyes to the world I see.

Green Easter grass between your toes
May rains upon your nose
Summer breeze through your hair
Beautiful, you make life seem fair

Summer songs and trampolines
Sweet smelling magnolia trees
Georgia fair and Georgia kind
I love the way you spend your time

Beethoven on the piano keys
Worn out antique car seats
Dads out back fixing the john deer
Were mowin’ early this year

Songs so sweet I whisper here
Looking over my front porch swing
Taking in this endless spring,
Open your eyes to the world I see.
