sacrifices
Zella Feb 2014
i don't know what is
worse
the fact that i gave up everything
for you
and you gave up
nothing
at all
for me.

My brain

like a carousel
dazed and confused
for days
on end about
you.

Rainy Days
Zella Jun 2014
On rainy days
are when I miss you
the most
when my heart aches
and longs for
your touch.

Perhaps
Zella Oct 2014
Perhaps the fact
that I chased a boy
who ripped me to shreds
says a lot more
about me
than it did him.
(this is an old poem i felt like sharing)

Mia
Zella Mar 2014
Mia
I met her
when i was young
and dumb
she walked into my life
and corrupted me
she was a bad influence
i knew i should've left
but she always
pulled me back in

impossible
Zella Mar 2014
i tried
to erase you
from my mind
i tried
to forget how it felt
to have your lips
pressed against mine
to let it go
like you said
but it's impossible
forgetting you is simply
impossible

Nightmares
Zella Mar 2014
sleepless nights
spent tossing
and turning
running from the demons
that wont leave me
alone,
trying to escape
the madness i created.

Oblivious
Zella Mar 2014
I never listened
to anything
anyone ever said
about me
i became oblivious
to the truth
and
acquainted
with the lies

melody
Zella Mar 2014
the term
'I love you'
it pours out of your
mouth
like melodies
to my ears
and i could listen to you
say it
all day.

Fool
Zella Apr 2016
am i a fool?
for thinking that maybe
you can love me again
am i a fool,
to think that you
would ever consider me
home
am i a fool,
for thinking that maybe
you and i were going to
make it in the end
am i a fool?
for wanting you
again
i feel like a ******* fool

sometimes I wonder
if I said this
if I had done that
would you
still be here,
would you
be proud?

empty
Zella Dec 2015
my heart is hollow
my mind is empty
i cannot shake the thought of you coming back
although i know that is a
fantasy
i cannot shake the thought of your lips
against mine
i wish i could fix things
i wish i could change this outcome
i'm so sorry i ****** up
i'm sorry i took you for granted
i hope one day you can forgive me

Souls
Zella Oct 2014
I wanted to believe
that our love
was more
than just those
three words
i wanted to believe
that
our souls
were meant for
each other.

we had it all
but just like all good things
we came crashing down
unsure of what to do
next

Is it wrong?
Zella Apr 2016
is it wrong
to crave the person
you loved
so deeply
once more?
is it wrong
to want the security
you felt with them
back?
is it wrong?
to want it
to all end
because the pain
is too much
thinking about you a lot more today then i have these past 9 months

you're going to meet someone

and they're not only going to
change your life

destroy you

Addictions
Zella May 2017
Everyone has an addiction, addictions come in all forms
my addiction was you,
you were the thing I couldn't live without.
you were the thing I'd die for.
addicted to the memory of you

leaving.
Zella Dec 2019
i often think about running away. more than i’d like to admit.
i often think about saving up a large sum of money and then going anywhere.

my dream is to run away to europe. change my name and be free of anything i know here.

if i ever did run away i’d know for a fact i would not look back. i wouldn’t talk to my family anymore because there really isnt anything holding me to them
i feel like an odd ball out, like a burden to everyone around me. they’re better off without me.

i’m too scared to admit how much i think about killing myself. it feels unsafe to harbor those thoughts, so i substitute them with the thoughts of running away. of just leaving and finding something new.
i had a dream a while ago that i ran away and lived in europe and now it's all i can think about lol.

fears.
Zella Dec 2019
I havent written in so long
because writing reminds me of you
reminds me of the memories we share together
the love we hold in our hearts for one another
the distance that feels like it will forever be between us.

i miss you
more than i could put into words
but the pain that i feel in my heart is more than missing you
it's longing
longing for you to hold me in your arms again
to kiss away all the fears and doubts that linger in my head
the fear that you will leave again
that the face i cherish so much, that is so precious to my heart
i will never see again.

i'm scared,
scared you'll fall out of love with me
or that you're not even in love with me at all.
these fears eat away at me constantly.
they dont let me sleep, they dont let me think
i feel like i am suffocated in my mind
trapped in a cage.

i hope that one day i will see you again
and everything will be, the same.
long distance relationships are hard. i hate this.

i am burning holes in my lungs trying to forget about you
trying to erase the memories of every time you ever held me in your arms
or every time you kissed my lips.
i wish i could erase the feeling of your hands on my skin
i can never wash you away
you are a permanent mark on my heart, on my soul.
i don't know how i will ever find a way to be without you, because sometimes it feels physically impossible.
i thought i did it before, but one look in your eyes and i was yours again.
i am broken over you again, except this time the pieces are scattered into a million tiny shards.
given the circumstances of our situation, it really feels like this is the end of everything.
i just wish i held onto you a little bit longer the last time.
being in a long distance relationship with someone you've basically been with for 8 years and then breaking up is......difficult. but i'll be okay.

— The End —
