Anymore
Sylvia Jun 2014
Sometimes, when you're not here
like you never are
anymore
I'll hear your voice in my head
and it sounds like music
so quiet beneath the screams
of all the others-
they don't exist.
And sometimes
I am the one who screams
like I hope that you can hear me
or will save me-
but you do not exist
anymore.
I think I've lost my mind

Fragile
Sylvia Jul 2014
some nights i feel so fragile
and small
like a poorly made paper crane
i can't fly away, and
i crumple under the weight of your words
that crush me as i sit here waiting
for them to come
i am as helpless as a bird with clipped wings,
tonight

there's an itch
under my skin
a ticking clock
that's deep within

i'm a time bomb

the quiet screams
inside my head
i feel numb
i'm seeing red

i broke my bones for you
i killed my light for you

you crumpled me up
and tossed me so far away
i will not forgive you

Ruins
Sylvia Jul 2014
My pain is built from all your lies
And the cage that traps me in my mind
Is made of fear like iron bars
It holds the ghosts that haunt me

They whisper words that make me bleed
And sing along with my memories
Tears won’t stop this endless dream
When I can’t sleep at night

And there’s an ache that’s deep inside
It feels like I am empty
But you will never know my mind
When I smile with traitor eyes, deceiving

In the end it was all a waste
I’ve fallen so hard from what was grace
When you hit the ground bones tend to break
What I did was shatter

— The End —
