toxicity

you love like you sin, terrified and breathless.
intoxicatingly sweet, a poisonous temptation.
bioluminescent boy,
you’re dripping heartache from
your seductive serpentine smile.
fireflies in your veins like trapped dreams
of those who fell,
crashed,
burned their way under your skin
where you carry them forever.

wow ok this is my first poem on here and uhhh yeah this wasn't about anyone in particular but it is inspired by the color neon green haha. also by the song silver springs by fleetwood mac, particularly the line "you will never get away from the sound of the woman that haunts you"

Warning Signs

I am oh so anxious
I am so scared that I'm just seeing what I want to see,
and that you're playing with me
in the same ways you like to play with all those other girls.

I am stuck between
facts and feelings,
head versus heart.

Last night you told me the ways you like to hurt people,
just to see them cry
and even you could not deny that I was one of those people at some point.

How stupid would I be to try to love you again,
like I used to?
It's funny how I get my hopes up
again and again,
praying that you're not the person that I know you actually are.

When will I learn?

Will I ever learn?

I am told that I am a romantic,
bordering on fully delusional.
I look for love in the same places I've lost it,
look for my scars to heal in the arms of the one
who caused the cuts to begin with.

Hollow

Empty the sea water into my veins,
discard your ice on my worn body,
give me up against the tides,
cast me away so no one finds me,
and if they try all they’ll find is an abandoned body.

how it feels to drown

sacrifice

you always seemed so high up and out of reach
acting like you were above everyone else
like everyone was meant to just love you
    you were like a god

I worshipped you,
gifting you my full heart
    honoring my promises,
    staying loyal,
    being there on your hard days,
    even when I was suffering
    and I asked nothing but you in return
but then you lied, lied, lied,
    all of those girls you were with
    but you had the audacity to come home to me after long days with them
    expecting me to worship you still

I seemed to had forgotten that not all gods are good
and that some require sacrifice
and for you,
it was in the form of all of me

I recently got out of a rocky relationship, and I'm trying to process the pains and move forward

“Your Plague”

You inject my veins with your love.
And
Make a fool out of me.
You’re addictive,
And i’m the submissive..
You’re a plague babygirl...
And I love it.

Alaina

You told me that I played all my cards right
but what I played didn't compare to her,
and the house of cards you were building would soon ignite.

So I ask:

Alaina,
did you really ruin my life?
Or was I too blind to see that you had come to my rescue?
All this time I've despised you,
but it's as clear as day that it wasn't your fault.
And because you were the key to set me free,
he will suffer in agony knowing he'll no longer get the best of both worlds.

good riddance!

Honey Badger

I once thought you were the Sunshine post rain,
And I tried every day to be for you the same,
You were lost when I found you, I think you're lost still,
I wish that you felt the kind of love that I feel,
Take off your costume, take off your mask,
Show me the real you is all that I ask,
My heart would rejoice when you made my phone ring,
Now when you call all my heart does is sting,
You took my pretty heart, you took my pretty face,
All you left is pretty hurt, what a pretty waste,
Now to escape this maze I engineered inside me,
But my architecture is flawless, there are no exits to see,
I patiently wait for you to unlock this door,
I Surrender, I give up, you have won this war,
If you release me, if you set me free,
Just know all along I loved you completely!

A New Beginning

It still hurts to hear your name
After all these months you still cloud my judgement
I’m starting to think that I might never be the same
But being alone is better than being your puppet

Maybe you never loved me, I’ll never know
But if you did, what kind of love was that?
Leaving me to cry on the floor when I was feeling low
If you really loved me then why did you raise your hand?

A few weeks ago I met a guy
He treats me like a queen, makes me smile
I gotta admit, I’ve never felt so high
And I think for him, I’ll walk down the aisle

I hope you’ll realize what you’ve done
When you see me with him, holding hands
I hope you see the way my face lights up like the sun
When he’s holding me while we dance

You only realize how bad someone was for you, when someone enters your life and treats you like a treasure. Never settle for anything less.
