You are sweetness embodied
And I am the Devil, just begging for you to sin.
Hanna Kelley Feb 2015
"You don't understand"
Said her friend with her broken heart.

"You don't understand"
Her dad sighed, begging for a new start.

"You don't understand"
Screamed her boyfriend, his wrists bleeding red.

"You don't understand"
Cried her sister with the voices in her head.

"You don't understand"
Glared the boy, bullied because he was gay.

"but I do understand"
Because I am not okay.

"I understand"
I have a broken heart too.

"I understand"
I need a new start, but you have no clue.

"I understand"
My wrists have bled, my family isn't very kind.

"I understand"
The voices scream and yell throughout my mind.

"I understand"
I am bullied almost everyday.

"I understand"*
Because I am not okay.

because
it hurts so much,
but I don't feel anything.
The tears don't come
even as I beg them
Louisa Coller May 2015
The falling begins rather suddenly, I am here waiting again,
I think I ******* up this time, I really do believe.
I had the chance, to grab you by the hand,
and tell you everything my timid heart had to give, but I stuttered, stuttered, stuttered.

Now I'm like: Please! Please! I know you might be busy today,
if so I'll go away, but please, just let me speak to you.

I don't know, how it's going to feel tonight, when I watched you walk out,
it felt like you were walking out of my life.
I know the phrase, “I'll see you around”,
means goodbye is not forever, but I feel like it somehow.
I don't want to let you go, but your talents grow, so I want you to discover, discover, discover.

Now I'm like: Please! Please! I know you might be busy today,
if so I'll go away, but please just let me speak to you.

I have learned to love again, after five months of pain,
when you speak, my heart is racing,
we'll be there one by one, fighting until the sun goes down.
I will see Ra who will grasp my hands,
and offer me the role of Anubis.

Pause. Don't say anything. You might stutter again.
Don't look at me that way, we know how it should end,
it's not over quite yet.

Now I'm like: Please! Please! I know you might be busy today,
if so I'll go away, but please just let me tell you how I feel.

Please Please! I am feeling this heartbeat super increase into an incredible beat,
like the ones we played through days and nights of our lives.

I want to run away.
Don't make me stay,
I'm a suicidal case.
Don't look at my face.

There's tears falling down,
As I dream about drowning.
On my face there's a frown.
Please God, get me out of this town.

I'm sorry for making you feel worst,
Maybe I'll write lines with verse
I'm begging on my knees, to remorse
I damaged your heart, all the emotions burst
The pain I gave, it's not a curse
To make you feel special again, i am thirst
All my thoughts became one even though they're dispersed.
I'm sorry.

Why
Why do you always leave,
when I beg you to stay?

Why do you always blame me,
when things don't go your way?

Why am I the only one feeling something,
when it should be both of us instead of just one?

Why am I staying up writing you love poems,
when you can't read the pages?

I met an angel in church today,
With a heavy heart I sought its eyes.
Somehow it pierced me in every way:
My shattered soul and scornful sighs.
I asked, half teary, half mad and weary,
to it's stone face, marble visage;
Why did just living need be so scary,
Life but a sorry and sober scrimmage?
I begged the angel, still wings and all,
to save me one day, if it could do.
Though I, as human, run short of gall,
Lose hope, and end up praying too.
I met an angel in church today,
Don't know if it heard what I had to say.
About time I posted a Shakespearean Sonnet. This was prompted by the cliche moment of almost crying in a church.
