The First Kiss
Sweaterweather Jun 2014
I love how it feels when you hold me in your arms.
I feel valuable.
Like you could pick any other girl you wanted, but you picked me.
I'm nothing special, just a freshman.
Just a freshman in the arms of her senior.
You get jealous,
Worried,
Nervous,
You show me you care without even knowing it.
That makes me feel valued.
You make me feel like I'm something worth holding on to.
When you hold onto me,
And I can see the tired comfort in your face,
And I smell the smooth scent of cigarettes and skate oil,
I feel my cold core start to warm.
Your heartbeat is steady,
Like a watch enveloped in cotton.
Your eyes look into mine
Beautiful, beautiful blue eyes.
I don't even notice you're kissing me softly
I'm too focused on those beautiful eyes.
Suddenly it hits me
A slow wave of tingles
That was the first kiss
And now its over.
Oh, one more, please I beg
I can't ignore how pleasant I feel
Knowing that man I care so deeply for
Has just kissed me, like it was the simplest thing.

Blood and cigarettes
Sweaterweather Jun 2014
Big, Bulging drops of blood
Such pretty scarlet red
And big, bulging drops of bloods
Rolling off the bed

These violent delights have violent ends
No truer words ever spoken
She lived a violent life
And it's a violent vow that's broken

The delight she found was just in this
Blood that of which would fall
It fascinated her so
But why, she could not recall

It's hard to face the truth in the end
But when the smoke has cleared
And the battle's all but won
Your soul will feel it is sheared

"Just let go" It whispers
You long to heed it
But there'll be people left
And they would never concede it

So she lets them down
They'll forgive her someday
Today is her last worry
There's no use in trying to stay

All this time, the answer was there
Waiting, whispering, bringing itself to view
Now its moment's come
She'll commit the ultimate taboo

A tiny blade
For her tiny heart
Down pours the red
Staining her hand like a work of art

Now big, bulging drops of blood
Have become her downfall
Those big, bulging drops of blood
And the scent of menthol

Katy
Sweaterweather Jun 2014
There was a little bird that flew away

She flew so far to find somewhere to stay

Nowhere was she wanted and though it sounds quite cliché,

That little bird grew sadder every day.

Nobody needed her, no not at all

They pushed her towards a cliff and they watched her fall

But little did they know that to their appall

That bird could fly, she'd walk or even crawl.

She had such a spirit that clung to her side

She had plenty secrets for her to hide

She had sweet emotion and bitter pain inside

But most of all, she hadn't any pride.


Though she took her tiny strength and she kept going

She would never give up nor ever quit growing

So she flew on without even knowing

Where she would end up, she just flew on, singing and crowing.

This is the story, of the of the unwanted bird

That flew far away, and thus went unheard.

Though she never gave up, she pushed on for ever

Now she roams all alone, on her isolated endeavor.

My Perfect World
Sweaterweather Jun 2014
I wish bags could pack themselves, and ship off to hell without me.

When I'm alone I want coolness, peace and isolation.

I want to wake up in the dark of the morning sun and relish the thick air all day long.

I wish stomach aches and migraines and stubbed toes were a thing of the past.

When someone deserves to die I wish they'd just disappear.

I want to find myself sinking to sleep on saturday night and waking up in a dark monday morning.

I wish love was a real part of everyone's soul, but it appears fate picks it's favorites.

When I feel the urge for paradise in the center of the pacific, I want to close my eyes and find myself there, sipping a Mai Tai.

I want to feel the smooth scarlet pool dripping down my flush pale cheeks.


And in the end....

I wish I had everything I wanted when I needed it most.

My little sister
You used to be my twin.
Where I went you came too
Though we did fight now and then.

Now things are different,
We just can't get along.
You hurt me so bad
Make me feel I don't belong.

One little tear falls
It's only just for you.
I hope it's what you wanted
Now that I am so blue

You say that I am vain
That I take all of your attention.
Have the spotlight, I don't want it
But theres one thing I should mention

While you're up on your high horse
Telling me that I am no good,
Do remember you don't know me
Or the things I have withstood.
Sweaterweather Mar 2014
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Burning hot metal and marks when I'm bitten
Black skies all day even in the spring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels,
Peace from the neighbors and schnitzel with noodles
Flies on the wall, an arrow on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in tight dresses and quick **** flashes,
Ash from the sky in your eyes and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When I start fights,
When my ears ring,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad!

You
Sweaterweather Feb 2014
You
You.*

You drive me crazy. I think about you every night, when I'm alone and need someone's company.

No one else has this affect on me, it's like you're the puppet master

                        And I'm on strings.

I see you smile. It's all so very innocent, but it sends my heart beating. A mile a minute, right out of my chest.

Oh baby, you've got a hold on me. You. And only you.

I want your body like I need your love. Today, right now, right here on the floor I don't care as long as it's you. God, just as long as it's you.

I've never known a lover like you, you draw my interest so differently. I breath heavy when you touch my skin, shivers down my spine and weakness in the knees. When you say you want me too I nearly pass out from the reaction. I just can't take it.
                              I need you.

Tonight
Sweaterweather Feb 2014
Tonight's the night
This time for sure.
The chance has come
To be impure.

I'm definitely nervous
But that won't stop me.
I can grow up
Watch and you'll see.

Valentine's day
A perfect chance.
When could be better
To make my advance?

A little girl
But not anymore.
I'm taking a risk
A thing I abhor

Jumping in with both feet
Who would've thought?
Just lil' old me
And the love I've sought.

Hell yeah I am ready
Let's slow down and unwind.
Get on with it now
Before I change my mind.

May not be pretty
But boy it'll be fun.
Awkward on top
And the worst one-on-one!

Goin' heels to jesus
The beast with two backs
Come knock on my boots
I'm slipping through the cracks.

Catch my drift baby?
I need you
Yes you're the one
No one else will do.
>.< this poem is a little saucy, I apologize

A winding stream that follows you
Whether it is wrong or is right
Through the thicket and past the blue
A winding stream that we call life.

Limerick

Bending like a bow
Through oceans we go
Slow and smooth
Hard to lose...
When you're swinging low.

She painted her fate
And dropped the waving story
With bitter flavored grace.
A future she had to wait
A love she mustn't worry.

Haiku
Sweaterweather Jan 2014
Wilted roses and
Tired eyes try to tear the
Color from our lies.
Sweaterweather Jan 2014
There's that man
I've seen him times before
In many people with their brain in a storm.
He's focused.
Oblivious.
He's pinching his nerves and tightening his brow.
There's that man, keeping it cool.

So much anger,
In that stern man's face.
Don't know his name
Or his story.
But I know that someone's done him over
And in that stern man's heart
Is so much anger.

It's only a minute
That I pass this man.
And in this brief encounter, I can see stone in his stare
A wild tornado of pain in his mind,
And thick brick eyes keeping it there.
It won't bother me all day,
It lasts only a minute.

The Pig
Sweaterweather Nov 2013
You make me sick
How you casually smile.

               And I want to cut
It off the face of you and your twisted denial.

               You, selfish pig
You stole my world. Smashed it

            Into little bite-sized bits
For your sick and reckless fit.

           To be thrown into a fire
Is too good for you.

           And scorched alive
Like you did to me. To my entire view.
          
           Pain for life
Is all I had. But I bet you thought

           I would love that
Didn't you? And you thought

           You would get what you
Want, and get away too. Thought I'd get what I

           Deserve
Huh? Suppose that is to be expected from you,

            You selfish pig.

Milk Money
Sweaterweather Nov 2013
Cracked glasses
Shredded tights
Broke *****
Sleepless nights.

Piled dishes
Tired eyes
Hollow wishes
Finance lies.

Poor and sad
Kids getting cold
But I'm glad
No one's told.

We move along
With mouths closed
Sing that song
No one knows.

Being broke is tough
Being alone is worse
What will be enough?
Who'd lift this curse?

Some say it's inherited
Some say it's funny
That we're not merited
For even milk money.

So it's down we go
Is there road up ahead?
We will never really know
We just push on instead.

Without a house to lose
Or a car to sleep
We don't have to choose
Which treasures we should keep.

Money's just paper, right?
Coins are just pounds
But we count all night
Doing the income rounds.

Cadillacs in our dreams?
Maybe so on occasion
But few it seems
Are of that persuasion.

No money left
None at all
So time's set
For our downfall.

Late at night,
Not really anything
Setting it right
Pawning a ring.

Bounced checks
Running away
******* wrecks
Without pay.

Baby pouts
Getting sunny?
Going without
Milk money.

The Burning Heart (German)
Sweaterweather Nov 2013
Das brennende Herz


Ich liebe dich.
Ich blute dich.
Ich beobachten Ihren jeden Atemzug.
können wir immer weglaufen, bis nichts mehr übrig.

Lassen Sie uns gehen weg für immer, können wir in der Samt Mond tanzen.
Ich werde dich halten.
Ich werde dich küssen
Bis meine zitternden Lippen blau.

können Sie Ihr Zuhause in dem Feuer meines Herzens finden
oder Sie können mich mit dieser sengenden lange stare brennen
Ich brauche dich.
Ich werde Verzweiflung.

Ich werde Sie Schlaganfall.
Auf der Wange so weich und langsam.
Aber ich will nicht das Gefühl, die Liebe, die Sie tun,
Ich werde mit kaltem gefüllt werden.

Ich werde bis zum Tod zu springen.
Ich halte den Atem an.
Wenn das alles was man braucht um dir zu gefallen.
Also sag mir, Liebling, was Sie wollen, was muss ich tun?

Sie sehen unsere Liebe ist ein brennendes Herz.
Ich brauche es.
Ich hasse es.
Schmerz, aber notwendig von Anfang an.

Ashley
Sweaterweather Nov 2013
They call her crazy, but she says its not true.
She spends late hours, thinking it through.

How about bliss? A trip you don't return?
Or just a quick swig to ease the concern?

A thick dose of Oxy? That'll do the trick.
Oh, but that girl, how she fears the hard trip...

She's quiet, frustrated, biting in her lip.
A little bud might help, but she knows she won't quit.

Her head's always pulsing, pain in every blink.
Blurry eyes, blood dripping in the bathroom sink.

No it's not normal, but that's not the point.
She doesn't care at all as she picks up a joint.

One more round, in a circle we go,
What really happened to her, we'll never know.

But she keeps her knives and her blades aligned,
She brushes her hair and she smiles at the signs.

Sure, he's there. She says he keeps her sane.
But we all know, he's no part of this game.


"How 'bout a kiss?" What? on those ***** lips?
Never, she vows. But aloud "How 'bout this?"

*****? Not quite. She's all about god.
"Maybe he'll let her in," her mother just nods.

In to heaven? Well now that's a thought.
She'd probably be sent there if she ever got caught.

But the sin marks the sinner, forever amen.
So she starves to get thinner, and tries it again.

One crimson line straight down the snow.
This last time, she'll lose her subtle glow.

No more hospitals, and no more fear.
That girl is leaving, the one he held so dear.

They'll cry and they'll sniffle, but deep down they'll all know,
Nobody wanted her, the girl had to go.

Quick like a light, but slow like the wind.
The way that she started, and the way she will end.

They said she was crazy, now they know it was true.
She picks up the knife, there's only one thing to do...

Tired.
Sweaterweather Oct 2013
Yes I'm tired, I'm quickening my breath.
Tell me I have the energy, but I know there's nothing left.
Sleepy and sick, lost beyond repair,
Tell me you can help, but the truth is you don't care.

I remember as a child
How all was free and easy.
Then the second I filled my shoes,
Things stopped being so **** breezy.
You can say I have it all together,
But I'm taking it day by day
Smile coyly and laugh it off, but just know I'm not okay.

Yes I'm tired, I can't stand this constant cold.
Only if you pretend to know
all the secrets I never told.

Tired.

I'm panting, exhausted, dragging my lead feet.
Now it is becoming clear
I'm too tired to even sleep.

Maybe I'm in Love With You
Sweaterweather Oct 2013
The sun won't shine without your blood, so maybe I'm in love with you.
Something there just pulls me foreword, passion in the way you move...

My chest it pounds to the sound of tears, theres no sleeping in till dawn.
So wrap yourself a little tighter
around the words that came out wrong.
Your lips could pierce the halo I've sealed with a hammer,
careful in their calculated plot.
But no one or thing can replace for you
the love that I forgot.

I can feel the leather of your skin, fingers trailing up so high.
Nerves and shivers pull their weight, hazel eyes try not to cry.
Each tear you drop is another lost cause, pain and blood prevail.
But my dear the rain will bring tomorrow, so slowly extract the nails.

Dry your eye and take my hand, it'll always be beside you.
For someday baby you'll miss your man, but I think maybe I'm in love with you.

Chase Tail
Sweaterweather Oct 2013
Life is a funny thing, don't you think?
We spend years in a chase with content, and very few reach what they seek,
yet we all will die eventually.
We see him coming. We hide behind large walls and turn our face from his stinging gaze set on our core.
But nothing will stop him from taking us.
No amount of worry or fear or hard work will shield you from the inevitable dance with death.
So why do we try?
We strive,
We thrive,
We even bring others in on this game of chase-tail.
But we all know none lasts. So why do we live?

Because we have nothing else to do.
So if there is a god,
(None know for certain)
He is quite the creative fellow.
All hues of skin, bright waves of personality, unique and twisted plots.
JFK, ******, the titanic, cable television, the string theory, polyester fiber, *******, iPhones, apple pie, band camp, the trojan war, electric blankets, Einstein's laws.
Where does he come up with this stuff???

Such effort put into a place some will only be in for a few hours, others for half a century or more, just to reach the same expected fate.
Time is relative.
Life is relative.
But we make it such an overwhelmingly relevant thing.
Simply because we have nothing better to do.

— The End —
